Chapter 140 - Getting closer (3) (2/2)

Sarah smiled hearing JoAnna, but her eyes didn't leave Aiden until he closed the door of the study room behind him. When Sarah looked back at the screen, she observed Sophia spacing out, her eyes unfocused.

Sarah cleared her throat. ”Sophia, is everything OK?”. This question got JoAnna's attention also.

Sophia got startled out of her daze. 'What am I doing? Why did I think of Felix when I saw Aiden kiss Sarah? Why did I think how it would feel if he kisses me like that?'

Sarah and JoAnna observed Sophia on the screen, her cheeks blushing more with each passing second.

JoAnna's eyebrows shoot up. ”Did you fall for a guy?!”, she exclaimed.

”What?”, Sophia was startled again.

”Maybe she is ill.” Sarah assumed, and continued asking, ”Do you have a fever? I see you are a bit red, and unable to focus.”

Sophia was not sure what to say. She quickly nodded. ”Yes, I think I'm catching onto something. Let's end this now and meet tomorrow. I need to rest.” Sophia got disconnected from the call, leaving Sarah and JoAnna behind.

”You know I'm a doctor... and I can clearly see that this is no disease that can be treated with medicine.”, JoAnna said to Sarah with a smug face of someone who just discovered a big secret.

”Do you think it's Felix?”, Sarah asked with a huge grin on her face.

”This requires further investigation!”, JoAnna exclaimed.

Two sisters laughed and chatted shortly before ending the call.

...

At her apartment in New York, Sophia was sitting at the table with a laptop in front of her. Sophia held her face in her hands, JoAnna's voice ringing in her head, ”Did you fall for a guy?”. The question lingered in her mind, and she rubbed her temples. 'Not possible, right? How could I fall for him?'

She remembered lunch from that day, when Felix was close to her. Close enough that she could clearly see his eyelashes... and his strong facial features... and his lips. That image overlapped with image of Aiden planting a kiss on Sarah's neck. 'Oh, if Felix gives me such a kiss...' Sophia shook her head and took a deep breath. 'Am I fantasizing about Felix now?'

She stood up and went to take a shower. Shower didn't help Sophia clear her mind. Her mind was drifting towards Felix, and there was nothing she could do to prevent it.

Sophia took a deep breath and decided to call him. 'If I can't get him out of my head, maybe it's time to stop fighting this.'
