Chapter 525 - Perfect date - day 4 (3) (2/2)

Aiden pulled her in his embrace and whispered in her ear, ”You are the first one.”

Sarah felt her heartache get worse. ”You don't have to lie to me. Just tell me the truth.”

Aiden tightened his hug and spoke softly while his hand moved gently over her back: ”That is the truth. You are the first girl who came here with me. You are the first girl to stay in this room and sleep on this bed… Oh, Sarah, I know that you don't know much about my past, and it's probably better that it stays that way… but know that you are the first one I introduced to my parents. You are the first one who touched my heart.” He inched away and held her cheeks in his palms, forcing her to face him. ”Do you remember? For Jeff's birthday? I told you that it's the first time I'm bringing with me +1. That was the truth.”

Aiden kissed Sarah gently on the lips, relieved that the flood of tears is slowing down. He spoke between kisses: ”You are the first girl that I considered as my +1, for anything in my life… Please, remember that… And even if all the girls in the world look my way, not one of them can be compared with you... Just how your eyes see only me, my eyes see only you... We are two halves of a whole, and there in no space for anyone else.”

He continued kissing her until her tears stopped.

”I'm sorry…”, Sarah said weakly, embarrassed because of her unreasonable behavior.

”Don't be. If those demons come back again, let me know. And I will remind you that since I'm aware of my existence, there was only one girl who ever managed to access my heart… and that girl right now is my fiancée… and she will be my wife in near future. And no one else can challenge that, not even your demons.”

Sarah had to admit that his words touched her. She took a deep breath. ”I'm such a mess. I need to get myself together… The truth is, I really want to know how your life was like before we met… but now I think I shouldn't. Just a thought that any other girl got your attention, no matter how superficial it was… it hurts so much that it rips me from the inside. And I'm aware that it's irrational how much it's bothering me, because at that time we didn't even know each other.”

Aiden showed a bitter smile. ”I know what you mean. I feel the same about you. And it's a new thing for me, because before I met you, I was never jealous. I never had this need to keep someone away from everyone else. My desire to possess you completely is clouding my mind, and just a thought that you looked at anyone as a man, ever, is driving me insane.”

Sarah was surprised for a moment to hear his words. He described exactly how she feels. ”Thank you for telling me this… at least I know that I'm not crazy.”

He laughed. ”Maybe you are crazy… but then we are crazy together.”

Sarah was not sure at what point during their talk it happened, but the knot in her chest was gone. The only feeling she had was overwhelming love for the man in front of her.

They both laughed and kissed while holding each other.

”I have one request…”, Sarah said between kisses.

He inched away and looked at her face expectantly. ”Tell me.”

”You said you made plans starting at 6 o'clock…” She saw him nod and continued. ”And that includes dinner, right?”

Aiden nodded again.

”Can we drink your favorite beverage? And don't tell me that you like things that are related to me… I'm talking about the drink you would have if you are having a dinner one year ago, before we met.”

He nodded in agreement.

Sarah could not hide her excitement that the moment when she finds out his favorite beverage is getting closer.

They observed that it was after 5 o'clock and headed to the bathroom… it was time to get ready for Aiden's plan which starts at 6.
