Chapter 659 - Last visit to unit 12A (1/2)

When they left the cocktail party, Sarah was disappointed that she will not spend more time with Bridgette. But Bridgette and Steve made plans with Gabriel and his family, so there was nothing two friends could do. Two of them promised to meet for a coffee when Sarah comes to Los Angeles, and they parted ways with those thoughts.

After cocktail party at the University, Sarah and Aiden headed to the penthouse she got as a present for Christmas, to make sure movers took everything out and nothing is damaged before the apartment is put for sale.

Sarah and Aiden calculated that it would pay off more to keep the place and rent it out, but they do not want to keep that apartment, considering who is the across-the-hall neighbor. So, the only option is to sell it.

Stella is not going to let Sarah and Aiden go there without her, so she is tagging along. Edward is coming in package with Stella. Elanor and Oscar are curious about the penthouse as well. They want to see where their son spent more than six months, and they said that until dinner they don't have any other plans anyway… so six of them went to check out the apartment.

...

”Ah! Movers forgot to empty this!”, Sarah looked at things piled up in one of the storage rooms and shook her head while thinking that she needs to pack things. She is not very fond of packing and hopes that Aiden will help her.

Aiden went downstairs to get few boxes from the car.

Elanor appreciated the nice view as soon as she got in the living room area. ”Pity that you are selling it…”

”If you like it, we can buy it.”, Oscar immediately said.

”There must be a reason why kids are selling it.”, Edward gave a kind warning.

Elanor and Oscar looked at Sarah who came out of the storage right at that moment. Even if they are not seriously thinking of buying this apartment, they want to know the reason why Sarah does not want to keep it. In such a good location it would not be difficult to find renters, and who would say no to a good income property?

Sarah overheard the conversation and stumbled with providing an explanation. ”Uhm… the neighbor is creepy…” She swiftly went inside one of the guest bedrooms to continue looking if movers left anything behind while avoiding any further questioning on that topic.

Stella was on the terrace, observing surroundings. Her gaze stopped on a man who was standing on the roof of a neighboring building. Their eyes locked on each other and after about one minute into a staring contest, Stella jerked her head upwards and man gave a small nod.

”I'm going to step out for a minute. I will be right back.” Stella said as she entered living area from the terrace.

Edward got alerted. While passing by him, Stella patted his shoulder to assure him that it's OK. ”Keep an eye on kids…”, she whispered and headed out.

Edward followed after her but stopped at the open door of the storage room where Sarah and Aiden are packing things into boxes. He watched as the front door closed behind Stella and glanced inside storage room toward Sarah and Aiden. He saw them squatted, going through things and discussing if something is trash or they want to keep it. After a second of silent contemplation, he turned back and joined Oscar and Elanor.

...

Inside storage room…

Aiden inched closer and kissed Sarah on the neck.

Sarah nervously glanced toward the door.

”He left…”, Aiden murmured and kissed her on the lips.

”At this rate, it will take us whole day to pack these few things.” Sarah spoke between kisses.

”Do you have anything better to do?” His eyes were burning from desire.

”Not really…”, she whispered and kissed him again.
