Chapter 544 - One day before wedding (S&F) (6) (1/2)

~ Seattle, Ocean Sunset Hotel ~

Leah and Isabella are in Isabella's hotel suite, downtown Seattle.

Both Isabella and Leah knew what they want and why they are coming here while at Black Rose, but now that they are here, both of them seem lost. Visibly nervous.

Isabella cleared her throat. ”How about a drink?”

Leah responded with few rapid nods.

Isabella looked at the mini-bar. ”Any preferences?”

”As long as it has alcohol, it's fine.”, Leah honestly replied.

Isabella smiled. 'My thoughts exactly.' She got a bottle of whiskey and two glasses.

”What are we drinking for?”, Isabella asked while pouring.

”For us.”

They clinked glasses.

”Ugh! This is horrible…”, Leah grimaced right after she gulped contents of the glass.

”Cheap stuff provided by hotel. But don't worry, next glass will go down easier.”, Isabella laughed while refilling their glasses.

~ Black Rose nightclub ~

Aiden and Sarah are within the crowd on the dance floor.

”I thought you will be… angry.” Aiden finally spoke after a long contemplation if he should mention this or not. He wanted to make sure that Sarah is not upset. She seems fine now, but that does not mean that she is not planning a sneak attack as a payback.

”Why would I be angry?”, Sarah glanced up at him.

”Because I followed you. Without permission.”

She got on her toes and kissed him lightly on the lips. ”Honey, you can follow me anytime.”

He smiled.

”But I am upset that you didn't answer my text.”

His smile faded. ”Which one?”

”The one I sent after we left the spa… I even told you I missed you.”

Sarah pouted, and that told him that she is playful. Definitely not angry.

He thought for a second and remembered that is the text that stopped their poker game. ”Oh, I was busy.” He wanted to send a reply, but then he forgot because he was focused on packing his winnings and getting to the restaurant as soon as possible.

She lifted her eyebrows questionably.

”I will show you later. It's in the car.” He was smiling while imagining her reaction when he shows her his winnings.

She squinted. ”No matter what it is, please respond next time. If you are busy, respond later. I was worried.”

He nodded. ”OK.”
