Chapter 521 - Perfect date - day 3 (realization) (2/2)

'What did I do? What did I do?'

At that moment, she could not remember a single thing she did for him that was pushing her outside her comfort zone.

During this whole time they are together, she can remember that he showed displeasure only when she was putting herself in danger or hiding their relationship. The only thing he wanted was for her to acknowledge him as her boyfriend… to acknowledge them as a couple… and not to hide it.

She always knew that Aiden does not like to talk about his feelings. But him not talking about them does not mean he does not have them. And she hurt him so many times… this was just a drop in the cup that caused it to overfill.

Sarah felt her body shaking uncontrollably. She knows that water in the shower is warm, but she could not stop the trembles. This realization, how selfish she is, how self-centered is, hit her hard. What right she has to say that she loves him? What did she do for this love? What did she do for him?

…

Aiden stormed out of the bedroom and decided to go for a run. He has this built up anger-energy that he needs to burn out. He didn't want to think about what happened… he needs to calm down first. Aiden grabbed running shoes from the closet near entrance and started running. He took the paved path and ran to the strip where their plane landed. And then he made few rounds back-forth on the strip itself before running back to the villa.

Aiden felt that it helped relieve some stress, and he took a shower in one of the guest bedrooms. He didn't have change of clothes there, so he only had a towel around his waist when he plopped on the bed and stared at the ceiling. His anger reduced to almost nothing, but he was still not sure if he is ready to face Sarah. He felt guilt for losing his temper and raising his voice. 'Why do I care if she tells her sisters or not? This is something between us, there is no rule that says it needs to be shared with others.'

With corner of his eye, he saw one book on the bookshelf blink with small red light. That is one of the emergency intercoms between staff and main villa. Such intercoms exist in each room. Staff is allowed to initiate this only in case of emergency, as the name implies: 'Emergency intercom'.

Aiden stood up and pulled that book from the bookcase, opened it and there was a 7” LCD screen inside. After a second, screen flickered, a face of a staffer showed up, and he spoke: ”Master Aiden, sorry to disturb you, but we thought you might want to know that shower in the master bathroom is running for two hours and seven minutes without stopping.”

”Thank you for letting me know. Is Sarah still in the room?”

”Miss Sarah didn't leave the room.”, staffer confirmed.

Aiden gave a small nod before he closed the 'book' and kept it back in its original place.

'Did she let the shower run and forgot about it?' He frowned.
