Chapter 545 - One day before wedding (S&F) (7) (2/2)
”I really need to go.”, she whispered in his lips.
”OK.” He kissed her again.
”See you tomorrow.” Sarah didn't know that it will be this difficult to move away from him.
”Today.”, Aiden corrected her. It was past midnight, so they will see each other 'today'.
She smiled. ”Today.”
”Take this.” He gave her paper bag with his winnings. ”Keep it somewhere for me.”
She nodded. ”OK. Good night.”
Sarah walked out and didn't get inside. She was one step away from the entry door when she turned and looked at him in the car.
Aiden lowered window to the passenger seat. ”I'm not leaving until I see that you went inside.”
She gave a small wave and reluctantly turned toward the door.
Sarah closed door behind her and leaned on it while subconsciously clutching edge of the paper bag. She didn't move until the sound of his car drifted off in the distance.
…
Sarah was in her pajamas when she entered Sophia's room.
”You are late!”, JoAnna scolded her.
Sarah stuck her tongue out. ”Only few minutes. I needed a shower before coming here... Are we doing something?”
JoAnna glanced at Sophia. ”This one is sleeping off. Let's just quickly go over plan for tomorrow and call it a night. We have a busy day ahead of us.”
JoAnna's loud clap startled Sophia awake.
”How are we on security?” JoAnna looked at Sarah.
Girls divided that Sarah watches security and to make sure everything runs smoothly from that side, while JoAnna handles guests and logistics related to the event. Stella is in charge of catering and entertainment.
Sarah gave status from her side: ”Jeff said that dozen of his men will arrive first thing in the morning, and about ten more later in the day. With our regular security and guys from Stella's side, we will have enough to secure whole property. Other than that, Eve is watching. That is from the outside. For inside, all guests are verified and there is only one variable, and that is Felix's mother. We don't know who her +1 is, and we don't know how she will react when she meets her ex-husband with his happy family. But we will keep a close eye on her, so that she can't cause a commotion… You got what I asked for?”
”Yes.” JoAnna handed her a box. ”There is one set for you and one for Aiden.”
Sarah smiled. ”Great! How are things on your side?”
JoAnna shared her status. ”We are on track…”
After about fifteen minutes, they finished with updates. Everything was as planned.
Sarah and JoAnna were about to leave Sophia's room, and left her few reminders.
”You just relax and enjoy on your beauty sleep, we got everything under control.”, JoAnna kissed Sophia's forehead.
Sarah also gave Sophia a kiss. ”Mmm… my last kiss to Sophia as a non-married person.”
Sophia frowned slightly. ”If you put it that way, it makes it sentimental.”
”It is sentimental.”, JoAnna smiled. ”It's a wedding! It's all about emotions.”
”Good night, big sis. Keep your phone away.”, Sarah noticed that Sophia's phone is on her pillow and wanted to keep it on the side table.
Sophia grabbed the phone and held it protectively. ”I promised to Felix that I will text him before sleeping off.”
Sarah and JoAnna left Sophia's room laughing.
