Chapter 410 - Sarahs birthday (10) (1/2)

They watched the sunset over the cove. It was a beautiful sunset, for the ones who watched it.

Sarah was resting in Aiden's embrace, and enjoying company of her friends. These six people around her, that she considers friends are the only ones that so far didn't betray her trust. Aiden is not in this group; he has a separate place in her life.

With these six people, she can smile and relax. With Nick included that makes it seven, but he is not here now. Sarah wondered if Nick will come tomorrow to their hideout, or maybe day after tomorrow. Another question that popped in her head is if Nick was sincere as a friend, or was he acting nice only because he was interested in her. There is a chance she will never find out an answer to that.

As the sun went below the horizon, they started a bonfire and seated themselves sporadically around it.

Sarah's gaze paused on each face lit up by dancing flames and completely stopped when she saw that Lucija and Petar are kissing. 'Since when are these two together? Did they hook up just now?' She didn't know they are in a relationship. But no one else paid them any attention. Do they not see them? Or don't care about it?

Sarah tugged Tereza's arm who was sitting nearby. ”Do you see that?” Sarah pointed with chin toward the couple who kissed like there is no tomorrow.

Tereza smiled and gave a small nod indicating that it's nothing new.

Sarah was surprised. ”Since when?”

Tereza shrugged. ”A year, maybe?”

”Oh...” Sarah fell into a daze. 'How come I didn't notice?'

Aiden observed people around them while playing with a strand of Sarah's hair. It was obvious that all of them, except for Eliza, are here together because of Sarah. She is the core of this group. And it seems that she did something for each of them. Something so important that they decided to follow her. Aiden wanted to find out the details, but he knows that Sarah will not tell him. She never likes to talk about good things she did, like she is ashamed of it. 'She thinks that is bragging, maybe?' Aiden wants to ask each of them about their story, but in order to get the information he craves for, he needs to catch them individually, when Sarah is not there.

Emir complained how there is no more beer.

”I will go and check!” Sarah volunteered. She was wondering if these rascals left any food in the fridge, or did they just take it all. Considering how much food they wolfed down, Sarah was concerned that there is nothing left. This is a good chance to check.

Sarah gave a quick kiss to Aiden. ”I will be right back.”

Aiden wanted to go with Sarah, but a moment later he changed his mind. 'This is a great chance to get some answers to questions which are burning inside me.'

When Sarah entered the house, Aiden looked around and noticed that Tereza is nearby, spacing out while staring unfocused at the bonfire.

He shifted closer to Tereza and tugged her arm. Tereza looked his way and froze. She was probably expecting Sarah. When she realized that it's Aiden, her body stiffened, and she blushed.

He found her reaction partly entertaining, and partly frustrating. 'Why is she blushing? Does she not know that I'm with Sarah?' He wanted to smile to loosen her up but decided not to.
