Chapter 469 - Las Vegas (13) (2/2)

”I'm thinking what is the trigger that changed my luck.”, she honestly responded.

Aiden was amused, ”And? How far did you go with that?”

”Assuming that this old man and Shing are in the category of good luck, that happened while I played card games. So, if I play, I attract good luck.”

”And don't forget Patel.” Aiden reminded her. ”He gave you his card during a game as well.”

Sarah excitedly nodded, confirming that it's all because of gambling.

Aiden flicked her forehead. ”Saying that your luck is good because you are playing games does not make sense. We played many different things earlier and nothing happened. But conclusion that in last two nights you met some interesting people is not wrong. What else was different than usual?” He wanted to hear what other ideas she will come up with.

Sarah thought for some time before lifting her head and looking at Aiden. ”You.”

”How was I different?” Aiden was taken aback. From all the things, she ended up picking him?! He was eager to hear what crazy idea came to her mind now.

”You were my husband.” She proceeded to help herself with ice cream from his hands which stopped moving. Sarah was happy that he didn't resist at all when she took the spoon from his hand.

Aiden stared at her, unable to form a word. But his mind was racing. 'Did she say that she had good luck because we were acting as a married couple? That means that us being married is good, right? Does this mean that she is thinking about marriage?' He felt his face heat up, even his ears were burning. 'Oh, God… I hope I'm not blushing!'

Aiden was in a daze for some time before he cleared his throat and asked, ”Will we use Mr. and Mrs. Black again?”

Sarah shook her head. ”No. They served their purpose. We will dispose of those IDs.”

Aiden was disappointed seeing how easily she confirmed that they will not be married. He knows that it was just pretending, but it was closest to the real thing they ever got.

”You don't seem happy…”, she observed.

”It's just… I have a feeling that you don't like being my wife.” He felt a relief to finally speak his mind, and at the same time he feared to hear her response.

Sarah cupped his cheeks in her palms, kissed him on the lips and spoke between kisses, ”Don't be silly... if there is anyone… on this world… whose wife I would be… that would be you.”

Aiden held his breath while listening to her response. He was so stiff that he didn't even return her last few kisses.

Sarah smiled seeing that he is dazed, happy that he didn't seem to be upset anymore. She explained her plan while finishing the last few bits of ice cream from the bowl he was holding. ”We will not use Mr. and Mrs. Black, but we still need to be a married couple. Remember that Mr. Patel thinks we are married? And he is the organizer; he will be able to observe us. We must assume that they will watch us, maybe even when we think that we have privacy... It's not mandatory, but I think it will be much easier than to explain that we are not married… I have different IDs ready for that. Those are just as a backup since we are going as Omega and Sigma anyway, and they should all address us as 30 and 31… tomorrow after we check out from here, we are heading to the hotel reserved for the conference…”

Aiden's face lit up. He liked the idea of them acting as a married couple. And he was not sure what was the cause, but he felt a change in Sarah. He was certain that she is not opposing the idea of marriage. 'Did Sarah just say that she does not mind being my wife? I need to get that ring!' Aiden stared at Sarah with a silly grin on his face.

”Hey! Are you listening?”, she protested.

”Yes.” He lied. After she said that they will continue as a married couple, he didn't hear much.

”What did I say last?”

He looked offended. ”Why are you quizzing me? Don't you trust me?”

Sarah felt guilty. ”Oh, sorry… that was not my intention…”

He smiled seeing that her attention was successfully diverted and started raining kisses on her.

She giggled. ”Hey… I thought we are having a serious conversation… Discussing plans for the event.”

”What serious conversation? We are doing more than planning. We are practicing.”

Sarah was happy that Aiden is back from his daze. She could not help but wonder why lately he has frequent mood swings. But his actions were distracting her, and soon she forgot what she wanted to say. ”What exactly are we practicing?”

”The married part… when we are married, I will kiss you and hold you and do this…”, he pulled her body closer and started removing her pajamas.

Sarah wanted to say that they are doing that quite often already, but her attention got pulled away as her leg brushed over something cold. ”Ah! You dropped the bowl on the bed!”

”Just leave it…”

”But the bed will get all sticky…”, she weakly protested.

The bowl stayed as is… eventually it fell off the bed as they moved around.
