Chapter 517 - Perfect date - day 2 (3) (2/2)
Sarah wanted to say that she can see he is romancing her, but she does not understand what is the point, if she is already his; completely. But she feared that if she says that, it might hurt his feelings. He might see it like she does not appreciate all the time and efforts he put into this date. So, she decided to keep that for herself and to enjoy the kiss.
~ Paris, France ~
While Aiden and Sarah are enjoying in the hammock, on the other side of the world, JoAnna and Jeff are having a breakfast on the balcony of their hotel suite.
JoAnna's phone rang.
”It's Sophia.”, she glanced at Jeff and answered video chat. ”Hi big sis!”
”Hi, Anna… sorry to bother you…”
”Not a bother. It's early evening for you… What's up?”, it was obvious that JoAnna is in a good mood.
”Did you hear from Sarah?”, Sophia was concerned.
JoAnna shook her head. ”No. She is on a da-te with her ho-ney, why would she call me?”
”I know she is on a date. But she promised that she will keep in touch, and she didn't contact me either. It's already two days, right?” Sophia was slightly irritated that JoAnna is not worried.
”You worry too much. She is just enjoying.”
”Do you know where they are?” Sophia was not satisfied with JoAnna's answer.
”Nope… maybe Jeff knows?”, JoAnna tilted her phone so that Jeff comes into view.
Jeff was about to bite a pastry but seeing that he is in the view he just stuffed it in his mouth, without thinking. He waved to Sophia in greeting before swallowing and answering: ”Island in Pacific.”
”Can't you be more specific?” Sophia ignored that he swallowed a big bite and was reaching for the juice to wash it down.
After gulping the juice and clearing his throat, Jeff answered. ”It's a private island, at most you will get coordinates.”
Sophia's disappointment was obvious. ”I see… I will wait until tomorrow before calling her. Again.”
”If the calls are going through, her phone is on, and she if fine… busy, but fine.”, JoAnna comforted Sophia.
They didn't chat long, Sophia apologized for disturbing their breakfast before ending the call.
”Private island?”, JoAnna looked at Jeff and raised her eyebrows, obviously curious to find out more.
He laughed, entertained by her expression and nodded. ”This one is closer to Hawaii. We will go there, if you want.”
”Yours?”, JoAnna had to confirm.
Jeff paused for a second before responding. ”It's on my name. But Aiden handled most of the managing after purchase, from buildings to landscaping and hiring staff, so I'm not comfortable saying that it's mine.”
JoAnna nodded in understanding and then got lost in her thoughts for some time. ”Hawaii… We can go and spend part of our honeymoon there.”
Jeff showed a big smile. 'Honeymoon!' He liked the sound of that. The day when this wonderful woman becomes Mrs. Jeffrey White is getting closer! His heart swelled from excitement, and he pulled JoAnna in his lap, holding her tightly while showering kisses on her.
Jeff ignored JoAnna's protests that she didn't finish her breakfast and that he will be late for his meetings while carrying her to the bedroom.
