Chapter 45 - Uncle (2/2)
He looked at her suggestively. ”How about we wash up together?”
At that moment, door opened and JoAnna entered ignoring that Aiden is in the room. She closed the door behind her. ”Of all the hussies uncle brought here so far, this one is the worst. I'm going back to my place first thing tomorrow.”, she complained.
”Nothing much we can do. It's his choice.” Sarah sighed. ”We can leave, but mom is stuck with him.”
”How I wish that she finds the strength to kick him out and cuts him off. Only then he might learn his lesson”, JoAnna was angry.
Doors opened again, and Sophia got inside with a frown on her face.
”Hey, both of you should learn to knock first!” Sarah was irritated.
”If you want privacy, lock the doors.”, Sophia said with a flat voice.
”When are you going back to your apartment?” Sophia was talking to JoAnna.
”Tomorrow after breakfast. You?” JoAnna returned question to Sophia.
”Let's leave at the same time”, Sophia responded. ”I was planning to stay few more days, maybe even until New Year's but as things are now, I will rather enjoy peace in my own home.”
”It's that bad?” Aiden asked Sarah.
”Every time he comes it's with a different girlfriend. It's obvious they are with him for the money. Uncle is a good man, and these women are taking advantage of him. It's difficult for us to watch.”, Sarah explained. ”If we don't have plans to leave tomorrow, I would make up something.”
”I would leave now if it's not for the party tonight and Christmas tomorrow”, JoAnna added.
Aiden looked at Sarah's face and noticed her creased eyebrows. He put his index finger between her eyebrows to get them to relax. It's the same gesture she does to him when he is upset. Sarah relaxed and smiled at him.
”Hey, we are right here! Do we need to look at you two getting all affectionate?”, JoAnna pouted.
”If you don't want to watch, go to your room.” Sarah responded with a smirk on her face.
JoAnna wanted to respond, but Sophia pulled her hand. ”Let's go”. JoAnna protested, but still followed Sophia. As they were leaving the room, Sarah heard Sophia's voice, ”Lock your doors.”
”Knock next time instead of barging in!” Sarah responded.
Two of them closed the doors behind them.
”Eve, lock the doors!” Sarah pulled Aiden toward the sofa. There was a sound of the doors being locked. He observed her room. They are on a sofa with two chairs on each side and a coffee table in between. Behind them is a wall filled with books. There is a work desk with a PC, king size bed with one door on each side. Aiden assumes that one is for closet and other for the bathroom. Guest bedroom he is using has a similar arrangement. Right wall is covered with large windows overlooking the property at the back of the house.
”You three are getting along well.” Aiden observed.
”Yes. Yes, we are.” Sarah confirmed. After few seconds she continued, ”Oh, update from my side. My mom also knows about us. Now it's only my dad left in the dark, he is not easy to deal with. Even my mom said not to tell him now. I guess she does not want him to ruin the Christmas.”
Aiden frowned. ”I think he likes me.”
”What is there not to like?” Sarah laughed. ”He likes you, but as my friend. If he sees you as a boyfriend, his attitude will change.”
”You care what your family thinks.”
”Yes, we are close, and I would like their support. But even if he does not accept us, that will not change my feelings.” After some thought Sarah observed, ”It seems that you don't care if my father knows about us or not.”
Aiden carefully chose his words. ”At this point I don't think that it's important for him to know. But I see that you care about this, so I will play along.”
”Thank you.” Sarah checked time, ”We have three hours before we need to show up for the party. Is there something you would like to do?”
He looked at her with a smirk on his face. ”How about we wash up together?”
Sarah blushed, ”You are shameless!”
Aiden looked disappointed, ”You don't want to?”
”That...”, even her ears got red, ”it's not that I don't want to...”, she was not able to finish. His lips covered hers.
