Chapter 393 - Sarahs birthday celebration (3) (2/2)

He smiled. ”Yes, I can do that.” He tilted his head toward the sofa. ”The drinks are getting warm.”

Sarah glanced at David as they walked away. ”Thank you for the game. See you later.”

”Anytime”, David responded with a smile.

”You are friendly.” Aiden observed.

”As long as he is friendly and does not try anything funny, I don't mind playing a game or two of pinball.” Sarah explained. ”I saw you talked with his brother?”

”Yes. Derek.” Aiden confirmed. ”Friendly guy.”

They reached sofa and Sarah observed that JoAnna is nervous. ”What happened?”

”Jeff is not responding to my text or calls.” JoAnna was so anxious that she was biting her lower lip.

Sarah tapped her earpiece. ”Eve, where is Jeffrey White?” Two seconds later Sarah told JoAnna. ”He is in your room.”

”Thank you.” JoAnna nodded and headed out.

”I hope all is OK.” Sophia was concerned as she watched JoAnna leave in a hurry. She leaned on Felix.

”Are you tired?” Felix asked with urgency.

”A little bit.” Sophia admitted.

”Let's go. After you take some rest, we can come back.” Felix helped her stand up and supported her to walk.

Sophia laughed. ”I'm not disabled or collapsing. You don't have to carry me. I'm just... Ahhh!”, she let out a scream as her feet left the floor.

Felix lifted Sophia up and carried her princess style.

”You said that I should carry you.” He said with a serious expression.

”That's not what I said, and you know it!” Sophia protested, but her arms wrapped around his neck.

Felix smiled. ”I heard what I heard.”

Sophia laughed. She gave up on arguing over something that she likes anyway. ”We will be back later.” She told Sarah and Aiden as Felix carried her outside. Sophia hid her face in Felix's shoulder, trying to avoid gazes of people at the party.

Shortly after, Sarah and Aiden were on the sofa, chatting and observing people. Some came to wish happy birthday to Sarah, but they didn't linger. Aiden was giving them sharp looks, letting them know that they should not stick around too long. Sarah didn't mind. She didn't like these people anyway. It was mostly people from neighborhood that her mother invited. Stella was always trying to get them to be friendly with neighbors.

”Master, trouble in the area with consoles.” Sarah heard Eve's voice.

”I will be right back. Just to check on something.” Sarah stood up.

”Let me join.” Aiden was about to stand up.

Sarah placed her palm on his shoulder. ”Watch the drinks. I will be back in a minute.”

Aiden obeyed. ”One minute. Then I'm coming to fetch you.”

Sarah nodded and rushed to the area with consoles which is in the opposite corner. Aiden tried to see what is going on there, but too many people were in the way, blocking the view.

”Hello!” Dodson brothers said in unison as they took a seat next to Aiden, one on each side.

”Hi.” Aiden didn't chase them away. He remembers that one of them was friendly with him at the bar. He just can't figure out which one of these two was it. ”Can I help you?”

”You are dating Sarah, correct?” David smirked.

”Yes.” Aiden responded. He glanced left and right at Dodson brothers, and he felt that they are too close to him.

”We were wondering if we can have her for tonight?” Derek grinned.

Aiden felt like someone turned off the lights, and dark fell over his eyes. ”What did you say?”

”Sarah... we want to have her for tonight.” David said cheerfully.

”We are not asking. We are informing you. Because we are nice.” Derek added.
