Chapter 42 - I cant sleep (2/2)

Aiden thought how even though she didn't say that she loves him, he can tell that she does. She does not need to say anything, he can tell what her feelings are, like there is some invisible connection between two of them. Since they met, he always felt at ease talking with her. Getting closer to her felt effortless, it was the right thing to do. When they are together, everything feels right. Aiden wished that they are never apart; that he can always be by her side and hold her in his embrace every night. When she is not close to him, he can feel her absence like an important piece is missing. And now he is missing her. 'Four doors down the hallway. Is she thinking about me? Or did she sleep off? Is she dreaming about me?'

His thoughts got interrupted when he saw a shadow sneaking into his room. Dim moonlight is creeping in through the windows, and that light is enough for him to observe Sarah walking towards him.

Aiden held his breath and felt a relief wash over him, 'She is here.'

Her light footsteps are not making any sound. Aiden can't help but smile. Sarah is like an ethereal existence, and with each step that brings them closer, her spell on him is getting stronger, and he can't look away.

She is wearing a light blue two-piece pajama. She is close enough that Aiden can see her neck and a hint of cleavage exposed. Her skin is shining under the moonlight like it's made from porcelain.

”I almost gave up hope that you will come”, his deep voice filled the room. He didn't want to say that he missed her like crazy, but he hoped that she will understand.

Sarah stopped her footsteps, and said in a quiet voice, ”I can't sleep.”

He moved the blanked and patted the space next to him.

Sarah nimbly jumped inside the blanket and snuggled next to him.

He was surprised with her swift and effortless move for a moment, but her scent enveloped him, and he forgot what he wanted to ask.

He embraced her and took a deep breath to inhale her scent, fragrance of her hair. He could not tell what type of fragrance that is, but he knows that is the scent that relaxes and excites him at the same time.

Having this girl in his arms makes him feel that nothing is impossible, this is the way it should be. Sarah is the essential piece of him, and before he met her, he was not aware that it was missing.

As if some mystical cosmic force has imparted him with knowledge, he is confident that if they are together, they can conquer any obstacle. Together they are invincible. As long as they are together, everything will be just right.

He remembered how nimbly she got into the bed and concluded that she has martial arts training. 'This beautiful lady in my arms is surprising me with her every move.' Aiden looks forward to tomorrow, eagerly expecting to see what Sarah will decide to show him next.

After few minutes in silence, Sarah yawned. Aiden kissed top of her head and his hug tightened. ”Sweet dreams”, he whispered.

She obediently nodded and drifted off to sleep.
