Chapter 148 - Valentines day (3) (1/2)

After dinner, Aiden and Sarah sat on the sofa, holding each other.

Aiden took her left hand and touched the ring. ”These have some features.”

Sarah moved and straightened her back, looking at Aiden with a wide smile while patting her chest. ”I don't know if my heart can handle any more surprises today.”

Aiden laughed. He was ecstatic to see that he successfully executed his first Valentine's with a woman who fills up his heart. He looked at Sarah with eyes full of emotions, and explained, ”They have GPS tracking. As long as we wear these rings, at any time I will know where you are, and you will know where I am. Also, the symbols are touch sensitive. We can program three different patterns and when we use them, they will send notifications to devices of our choice. Eve will monitor battery life and charge them via wireless.”

Sarah's face lit up. She looked at the ring at her finger, and then at Aiden.

He pulled her into a tight hug and closed his eyes. ”Since I lost you that time, I was thinking... I don't want anything like that to happen again.” It was obvious that he is recollecting an unpleasant memory. Only he knows how he felt when he was not able to find her, and he knew that she is in danger.

Sarah nodded in understanding, ”Agreed. I hope that we are never apart, but if that does happen even for a short while, I want to know where you are.”

Sarah is possessive of Aiden. She is not willing to share him, and she wants him next to her. He feels the same way about her. Two of them cooping up in the apartment by themselves would not work for many couples, but for Sarah and Aiden it works perfectly. Their need for each other is an obsession to which both of them are willingly surrendering to.

She remembered his secretive video chats, ”Is this what you were doing with Felix?”

”Mhm”, Aiden confirmed.

”Thank you”, Sarah said and buried herself deeper in his embrace. ”I don't know how to express how happy I am, today was perfect.” She lifted her head and looked him in the eyes, ”Everything about you is perfect, and I still can't believe that I get to wake up next to you in the morning, spend the day with you, go to bed in the evening with you, and hold you through the night.”

Their eyes were locked to each other, silently exchanging emotions that raged within them.

…

At that time, it was almost noon in New York, Valentine's day.

Doorbell of Sophia's apartment sounded, and she opened the door. Large bouquet of red orchids was in front of her, and Felix peeked from the side. ”Are you ready?”
