Chapter 68: Meet building manager

Sarah pushed both boxes that she got from her room in girls' dorm to the master bedroom, they slid easily on the hardwood floor. Then she peeked in the study and her eyes landed on Aiden. "I'm back". She waited a second for Aiden to acknowledge her presence before closing the door and going back to the bedroom.

Sarah quickly arranged clothes she got in the large walk-in closet. She was happy to see that left side of the closet has Aiden's clothes. 'Oh, we are even sharing closet space! This means we are living together, right?' She was shocked by a sudden realization how quickly their relationship progressed. Shocked, but happy.

Sarah was brought out of her thoughts by buzzing sound from the intercom. Intercom is connected to the main building entrance, and in her apartment, intercom has connection to master bedroom and kitchen.

Sarah answered, and it was doorman Ben. "Miss Hill, number of packages was delivered for you. Do you want me to hold it, or have it arranged to be brought up?"

"Hold them, I will be down in few minutes." Sarah headed outside.

In the front lobby she saw Ben. When he noticed her, he pointed to quite a number of packages. "These just arrived for you, Miss Hill."

"Thank you, Ben." Sarah was checking out the packages and stacked them so that she can carry them easier. It was a tall stack. She was thinking that she will need to make few trips or ask Ben for help.

She heard Ben's voice from behind. "Miss Hill, building manager mentioned last night that he would like to meet you."

"Oh, is he here?" Sarah thought how being on good terms with a building manager can only be beneficial.

"He lives on the first floor." Ben informed her. "Mr. Alvarez, Unit 1C."

"OK. I will go and say 'Hi' first, since I'm already here."

Ben nodded in agreement.

Sarah reached unit 1C and rang the doorbell. After few seconds, door opened, and a handsome tall young man stood at the door. He looked to be in his mid 20-ies. He is taller than Sarah, with short black hair, black eyes and a complexion that looks like mixed race.

"Hello" He greeted with his deep voice and while his eyes checked her out curiously.

"Hello, sorry to intrude." Sarah was not comfortable how he looked at her but did her best to pretend that she didn't notice it. "I'm here to meet Mr. Alvarez."

"That would be me" He flashed a dashing smile revealing two rows of perfect white teeth.

'I thought that building managers are older, but what do I know.' Sarah was confused a bit. "I'm Sarah Hill, I just moved into 12A. Mr. Ben, the doorman, told me to come and meet with the building manager."

"I see..." Young man looked disappointed. "Building manager is my father. Just a minute." He turned around and after 10 seconds an older man showed up at the door, looking at Sarah.

Sarah repeated her introduction. "You must be Mr. Alvarez, building manager. I'm Sarah Hill, I just moved into 12A."

"Oh, Yes, yes. Nice to meet you. I'm Pablo Alvarez, building manager. If you have any problems in your unit, let me know and I will do my best to help" Older man spoke with a heavy Hispanic accent. Sarah thought that his accent is adding a charm to his deep voice. In her opinion, accent adds a layer of mystery to the person. He looked like a friendly man. "Did you settle in already?"

"I'm still working on it. Just now I received number of boxes and I was about to take them up when Ben mentioned that I should come and introduce myself."

"Boxes, you say? Let me provide assistance and take them up for you." Pablo offered.

Sarah was about to say that there is no need, when voice came from their apartment. "Dad, let me help her. I have nothing to do anyway."

"How nice of you, Hugo. Be polite to this young lady." His father reminded him.

"When was I not polite?" Hugo laughed.

Two of them talked completely ignoring Sarah.

"Uhm, excuse me Mr. Alvarez... "

"Yes?" Two men answered in unison.

Sarah looked at older man and clarified. "Mr. Pablo Alvarez, I'm changing locks on my unit. Do you need to have access to my unit?"

Pablo shook his head. "It's not necessary. You can give me the key only if you want me to have access to your unit when you are not there. If I don't have access and there is an emergency, I'm authorized to break into your apartment. It's stated in the contract."

"I see. I will think about it then. If there is nothing else, then I will go back. It was nice to meet you. Goodbye." Sarah turned to leave.

"Hugo, go and help." Sarah heard Pablo's voice. He was talking to his son.

"Yes. Going!" Hugo followed behind Sarah.

When they reached Ben, he raised his eyebrows while looking at them. It seems his gossipy side woke up. Sarah rushed to clarify. "Mr. Hugo offered to help me with boxes."

"Please, just Hugo, Miss Hill" Hugo corrected her.

Sarah felt awkward. "Hugo." It's expected that she returns the favor of removing formal way of addressing each other and to ask him to call her just Sarah, but she felt that somehow, it's not right, so she ignored being polite.

"Well, these are my boxes." Sarah gestured with her hand.

Hugo was about to grab all of them, it was quite a tall stack.

"Wait, it's too much! They might topple!" Sarah grabbed about half of the boxes from the top of the stack. "There... Sensitive equipment is in the boxes; I don't want to risk it getting damaged now when it already reached here."

Hugo smiled. "Please lead the way, Miss Hill."

They reached door to unit 12A.

"Thank you, Hugo" Sarah said with intention that he leaves.

Hugo understood her intention, and quickly spoke. "Please, Miss Hill. Allow me to bring the boxes inside so you don't need to trouble yourself. They are quite heavy."

He looked sincere, and he is building manager's son. Sarah thought it will be impolite to decline, so she nodded. She opened the door and lead the way in the living area.

Hugo placed boxes from his hands on the coffee table and looked at the view from large windows for few seconds. He turned around and looked at Sarah with a dashing smile. "This top unit definitely has an amazing view."

"Yes, it's nice." Sarah felt uncomfortable. 'Is he hitting on me? Is he talking about the view outside, or view of me?' She noticed that he does not have an intention to leave.

At that time door from the study room opened, and Aiden walked out. He saw a scene of Hugo and Sarah looking at each other in the living area. He walked towards Sarah slowly while his icy eyes didn't leave Hugo. He cleared up his throat. "This is...?" Aiden hugged Sara from behind.

Sarah noticed his protective stance and found it entertaining. "This is Hugo, he is building manager's son. Hugo helped me bring boxes that arrived." She looked at Hugo. "This is Aiden, my boyfriend."

Aiden slightly nodded towards Hugo.

Hugo looked at Aiden. "Boyfriend?" He didn't hide his disappointment. "Well... I better be going. I have other things to do." Hugo turned around and walked towards the exit.

'Other things to do? You said just few minutes ago that you will help me with boxes because you don't have anything else to do?!!' Sarah was about to expose his lame attempt at seducing her. But she stopped herself. She should not say anything, Aiden was right there, and he is already fuming. She walked behind Hugo with intention to lock the door when he exits, but Aiden stopped her and went himself.

Hugo opened the door and walked out. He turned around to say something, thinking that Sarah will be behind him, but then he saw Aiden at the door and frowned. They looked at each other without a word for few seconds exchanging cold gazes. Then Aiden closed the door and locked it.

Sarah watched all this and could not help herself. "Pffft!" She burst into laughter.

Aiden turned to look at her, his lips pressed into thin line. "Why are you laughing?"

"It's... hilarious to see you... this protective." Sarah struggled to talk while laughing.

"I think you are taking all this too lightly. Didn't you see how he is looking at you?" Aiden was serious.

She stopped laughing seeing that he is not finding it funny at all. He walked toward Sarah and stopped just half a step from her.

"Why would I care how he is looking at me, I have eyes only for you." Sarah did her best to coax him.

"You can't let anyone else get wild ideas about you. I think I need to remind you that you are mine." He pulled her into his embrace and kissed her with more strength than ever before. Her lips were aching and throbbing as his hands got under her top. His lips went down to her neck and he sucked hard, leaving marks behind.

Aiden's swift actions caught Sarah by surprise. It was a whirlwind of pain and pleasure. Her knees trembled.

Aiden wanted her to know that she is his. She belongs to him and no one else. Thought of possibility that someone other than him might touch her, enraged him. He was losing control.

He pushed her on the shag ivory rug, and she wrapped her arms around him, pulling him down with her. Aiden removed Sarah's clothes with such force, that he almost ripped buttons of her jeans.

Sarah could tell that he is more forceful than usual, but she didn't care. She wanted to satisfy whatever need he has. She wanted him to know that she is his.

As he jabbed himself inside her, her fingers clenched his back and she moaned. "Oh, Aiden..."

When he heard Sarah call his name, it was like he woke up from a bad dream. He paused for a second while regret washed over him. 'What am I doing?' His kisses became gentle, kissing every spot where he left his mark, as if he is trying to make them go away.

Her arms and legs wrapped around his body, and she whispered in his ear. "Welcome back…"
