Chapter 258 - What she wants (5) (1/2)
Sarah was getting ready to go to work, and she saw that JoAnna is calling. ”Is everything OK?”, there was panic in her voice.
JoAnna exhaled, it was obvious that she is frustrated. ”Hi, Sarah, how are you? … What kind of a 'hello' was that?”
”Sorry... I'm just nervous. You left last night with Jeff, and I didn't hear back from you.”
”You know that he is treating me well, right?”
Sarah didn't respond. She knows that, and she is ashamed by her behavior.
JoAnna continued in a pleading tone: ”Baby sis... I love him. And he loves me. We are together... can you accept that? Please?”
Sarah exhaled, frustrated at herself. She knows that, why is she acting like a five-year-old? ”I'm sorry for being selfish... I know he is a good guy. I promise not to act this spoiled anymore.”
”Thank you.”
”OK. We got that out of the way... now, why did you call?”
”I wanted to ask how did you get Aiden out of your mind?”
Sarah was confused. ”What kind of a question is that? What makes you think he is not on my mind?”
”But you seem composed and capable of rational thinking... while I'm completely in a daze.” JoAnna sounded desperate. ”I'm not able to think about anything other than him... Sarah, my hands are shaking and I'm hyperventilating. How do I get over this?”
Sarah shook her head and smiled. 'Anna is so silly...' Sarah thought how JoAnna is so smart, how come she can't figure this one thing? ”Anna, you are looking at this from the wrong angle.”
”What do you mean?”
”What do you want to do? … Please don't answer that aloud but think about it... and then compare that with what you are doing.” Seeing that JoAnna is not responding, Sarah continued explaining matters of the heart that she herself understood only recently. ”Anna... It does not get better. It does not go away. If it does, then it was not the real thing... you are crashing because you are denying yourself and going against what your heart wants. You can't be crazy in love and in control at the same time.”
”Thank you...” JoAnna hanged up.
Sarah looked at her phone and smiled, ”Go and get him, Anna...”
Aiden got into the room and saw Sarah smiling at her phone. ”Who was that?”
”Anna...”
”Why are you smiling like that?” Aiden heard last part that Sarah said, and understood that Sarah got over her objection of JoAnna and Jeff being together. He wanted to find out what made her change her mind.
”I think Jeff will give me a raise.”
