Capítulo 46: Destiny?
Sarah and Aiden are in her bathroom, sitting in the large tub filled with hot water. Bubbles are covering the surface.
His back is leaning on the tub edge, and she is sitting between his legs with her back against his chest. They are holding hands with fingers interlocked.
Sarah is enjoying the moment. The feeling of his toned chest against her back makes her aware of his attractive masculinity. Sarah is reflecting on how comfortable she is when they are together. She feels connected to him in a way that transcends physical connection.
"Do you believe in destiny?", Sarah broke the silence.
"Destiny?"
"Yes. The thing that is meant to happen, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it. And when it does happen, everything feels right."
"Why would you ask me such a thing?"
"Until few weeks ago I would say that there is no such thing as destiny. That we are all masters of our lives and that everything depends on our actions, or lack of it.
But I can't help but wonder: why did I not push you away? It goes against everything I did so far, and still I let you in. And why does it feel so good to be with you? Why does it feel like everything will be OK as long as we are together? When you are with me, I feel complete. Like I found a piece of me that I never knew was missing. Is this destiny?"
Aiden held his breath while her words reached him. It was like she was voicing his thoughts. He was stunned for a moment before responding, "Mmm... if that is destiny, then I approve it." He lightly kissed her shoulder and rested his chin on it while thinking how it is possible that she is thinking the same thing that is on his mind. 'Is it possible that thoughts of two different people are so much in sync?'
She laughed, "See? I'm so comfortable with you, that I don't even mind saying all these crazy things at loud."
"I like when you speak what's on your mind. Even if it's something crazy, I hope you don't have a need to hide things from me.", he kissed her shoulder again.
Sarah took a deep breath. She remembered what she found out about Philip and Mimi, and that she didn't tell him about that. Guilt rose inside her. 'I will tell him about it, but not now. It would ruin the moment.' Sarah moved her body and turned around to face him. Her eyebrows were creased, "That... I need to show you something later."
"OK", he said as planted a kiss between her eyebrows. Her face relaxed. Aiden moved his body toward Sarah and kissed her on the lips. As their kisses intensified, her legs wrapped around his waist. They kissed passionately, before he moved his lips down her neck, over her collarbones and went lower. Feeling that he can't hold himself back much longer, Aiden lifted her up and carried her to the bed.
"Ah... the bed will get wet... Where will I sleep tonight?", Sarah said while catching her breath.
"You will sleep with me", his voice was muffled between kisses.
"Mmm, true", she responded before surrendering herself to his embrace.
...
It was almost time for guests to start arriving.
Aiden went to guest room to get ready. Sarah was in her room, in front of the mirror, checking out her look. She dressed up into blue jeans and a purple sweater. Her hair was pulled into a high ponytail. She likes to keep it simple.
Sarah felt uneasy and was not sure what is causing it. 'Probably stress before party. I don't like most of these people. I wish they don't come, and I can spend the evening with Aiden.'
"Eve", Sarah called out.
"Yes, master"
"Monitor the party tonight and let me know if you notice anything unusual."
"Do I use usual level for house parties?" Eve's voice had a slight echo.
"Yes." Sarah knows that among her generation, many people from affluent families use drugs. Because of that they might steal and get violent. She didn't want any of those in her home. If something happened during a party they hosted, it will be linked with them even if they had nothing to do with that. Due to Eve's watchful 'eye', several times in the past Sarah was able to prevent incidents from escalating.
"I will carry my Bluetooth earpiece, as usual. If you notice any of those today, let me know.", Sarah pulled a small device out of her desk drawer and attached it to her ear.
"Yes, master." Few seconds later Eve spoke again. "Drugs noticed one hour and twenty six minutes ago."
"Where? Who?" Sarah was surprised.
"Second guest bedroom. Lexi used drugs on Mr. Owen."
Sarah wanted surveillance for the party, but then remembered that she told Eve to let her know if she notices anything today. That is why Eve reported this incident. 'I will add logic to Eve to expand cases when she is proactive. This should be covered under such cases.'
"Show me the video."
PC screens on Sarah's desktop turned on. On one of the screens video started showing Lexi and Owen kissing. Then Lexi stands up and puts some powder in a glass of water, before giving it to Owen. He drinks it and less than half a minute later he plops on the bed without moving.
"Ah, you think you will sleep with me? Dream on you old sleezebag!" Lexi's voice was heard.
Sarah watched this with a frown. "Eve, is my uncle awake now?"
"Yes, master."
"Show me the video of him waking up."
Another video starts on the screen showing Owen waking up and holding his head.
"Oh, honey, you are awake?" Lexi rushed to him.
"Yes. What happened?"
"It seems you got excited and your high blood pressure made you pass out again. Take some rest, honey. Your health is important." Lexi sounded concerned.
Sarah looked at the screen with a complex expression. It took her some time to digest what she saw. 'Lexi is drugging my uncle so that she avoids sleeping with him. Maybe he deserves it. When will he wake up and see that all these young girls, he is sponsoring, are with him only because they can smell money?'
Sarah is angry that Lexi is drugging her uncle, but at the same time she is angry at him because he is letting all these young women take advantage of him. She knows that unless he gets a serious disappointment, he will not come to his senses. Sarah decided to keep this to herself for now. "Eve, create backup of these videos and store them encrypted on data drive."
"Yes master."
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in", Sarah said.
Aiden walked inside her room. He was wearing dark blue V-neck sweater and blue jeans. "How do I look, good?" He had a devilish smirk on his face.
Sarah walked towards him and hugged him. "Mmm, you look good in anything." She didn't lie. 'Damn, he knows he looks good.'
He smiled and hugged her back. "Is there something I should know about your guests tonight?"
"Hmm, besides that most of the girls will try to get your attention, nothing much." Sarah frowned.
"But only one girl has my attention." He kissed her forehead.
"You know what to say, don't you?" Sarah smiled. "If you find anything troublesome, besides me, my sisters are also available to help out. These people are mostly harmless. Guys don't cause trouble, at least not in this type of setting, and girls are flirty... Well, boys are flirty also, but all single ones are straight, so you don't need to worry about them."
Aiden frowned.
Sarah laughed. "I said don't worry about them. Not one of them dares to flirt with me. They all know us as untouchable snow queens."
"For a snow queen, you have quite some fire inside you", he teased.
She blushed and cleared her throat, before saying, "That is only for you."
"It better be." Sarah never saw him that serious before. "If anyone else sees your cute face when it's flushed, I will make them go blind."
Sarah was speechless. 'Should I take this as a compliment or as a warning?' She decided to take it as a compliment.
"We should get going. People already started coming." Sarah led him out of her room.
