Chapter 515 - Perfect date - day 2 (1) (1/2)

~ Island, somewhere in Pacific Ocean ~

Sarah woke up and stretched lazily, inhaling a sweet scent. She looked around and saw that bed is covered in flower petals. As much as she was delighted by a romantic gesture, she was disappointed that Aiden was not there. She would trade all the petals in the world for his presence next to her when she wakes up.

Sarah got up, wrapped herself in a bedsheet and went to find him. She checked bathroom, then into separate sitting area… and found him on the balcony with his laptop. He was dressed up for the day.

Aiden was facing the door and saw her approach. He swiftly stood up while closing the laptop and walked to her. ”You are awake…” He lifted her up and carried back to the bed.

”When did you wake up?” Sarah wrapped her arms around his neck and settled her head below his chin. Based on his scent, she can tell that he already shaved and showered.

”Not long ago. I didn't want to wake you up.” He placed her on the bed and laid next to her.

”Not long ago?”, she waved a flower petal in front of his face. ”I can imagine this took time.”

”Do you like it?”

Sarah sighed. How can she say that she does not like it? Especially when she is facing that handsome face and his expectant eyes. ”I love it… but I wish that you take care of yourself and make sure you rest enough.”

”I didn't come here to rest.”

”Oh? Why did you come here?” She was curious what his response will be, ready to engage in verbal outwitting match.

”I came to romance you until I make you mine.”

Sarah stared at him with her mouth half open for some time. She had to admit that he won the match before it started.

Aiden smiled while not breaking eye contact.

”I am yours…”, Sarah whispered when she remembered that she can speak.

He nudged her nose with his while he spoke, and his breath caressed her face. ”Sometimes you don't see what is behind the wall you are standing next to. That is what I'm doing… breaking the wall, so that you can see the next level of surrender.”

”How many walls are there?”

”I don't know… I plan to keep on tearing them down until I'm satisfied.”

Sarah was not sure if what he said was extremely deep or a complete rubbish. But she can't deny that intensity of his gaze and that devilish smile rendered her unable to think. 'What walls? What next level of surrender? Is there a next level beyond this? We are already together, sharing practically everything, what can possibly the next level be?' Questions popped up in her head, but her brain refused to answer to any of them.

”Don't worry about it.” He spoke between gentle kisses which landed all over her face. ”You will understand when the walls fall down… Just relax and let me do my thing…”

Sarah gave up on trying to understand the meaning behind his words. His lips were too distracting, anyway. She laced her fingers in his hair and returned his kisses.

And just when she started pulling herself closer to him, he inched away and kissed tip of her nose. ”Let's eat.”

Sarah exhaled in frustration. ”Plans?”
