Is this destiny?

Saturday, June 6

8:23 AM

Sarah and Aiden are in their new private jet, heading to France.

Jesse and Oni are there as well.

Besides the pilot, two flight attendants are in the room in front of the plane. The flight attendants are also co-pilots and they will serve lunch later. Other than that, they are available if needed.

Sarah is having difficulty believing that they have a brand new private jet, which comes with three crew members!

This one is much more luxurious (and bigger) than the one they used so far. The jet they used is Jeff's, but they used it so many times that Sarah started thinking about it as 'theirs'.

This jet has a lounging area with leather seats and couches, complete with a wet bar and a large television for entertainment. There is a separate work area with four groups of four leather seats with desks in the center, and one conference area with a massive table and twenty chairs around it. Of course, the conference area becomes a dining area with a touch of a fancy tablecloth, but two massive flat screen televisions definitely show that it's great for meetings. Areas are separated with sliding glass doors which can provide privacy by blocking the sound and at a touch of a button the glass can get tinted to obstruct the view as well so that no one can see what is going on in the area on the other side. The best part (probably) is a massive bedroom with a full spa-like bathroom.

In the dining (aka conference) area, seats can be moved to the edge and enclosed into semi-private sleeping pods.

All seats recline fully, and the couches can be extended (similar to sleeper sofas), so on long flights, everyone can rest.

Without including the bedroom, this jet can accommodate more than sixty passengers by providing them comfortable seating and plenty of space to move about. 

"Are you sure this is ours?", Sarah asked Aiden.

He smiled. "For the fifth time, yes."

"Why would Jeff just give us a jet?", Sarah was suspicious.

Aiden hesitated in answering, but he can see that Sarah will not give up just like that, and he does not want to lie…"It's his wedding present to us."

Sarah's eyebrows shoot up. "A wedding present?"

"In advance.", Aiden quickly answered.

"So… when are we getting married?"

"Soon. I am working on it."

Sarah narrowed her eyes at him. She remembers that when he woke up from a coma he made a promise that they will be married. As much as she is not in a rush, she knows that Aiden is the one who keeps his promises, and the deadline he set up at that time is running out in about a month. Don't people take more than that to plan a wedding?

"Are you not going to tell me? Don't I need to get a wedding dress? Bridesmaids? Or are you going to blindfold me and bring me into a room, and everyone jumps and screams 'surprise'? Since you have my signature as a stamp, do I need to be present? Don't tell me... We are married already?"

Aiden stifled a laugh and pulled her into a hug. He rubbed her back gently and spoke softly: "Love, don't you trust me?" He felt that she nodded, and he continued: "Just relax and enjoy. We have six hours until we reach our destination."

"Six hours?" Sarah was surprised. Their flight from Los Angeles to Paris usually takes at least nine hours.

Aiden smiled smugly, happy to see that she is impressed. He explained: "Charlie did his magic and this jet has custom engines. Military grade. Also… Felix was here, so he made sure that we are not lacking in technology."

Sarah glanced around and could not see any Felix's gadget. Well, they are small and if they coordinated colors or used reflective surfaces, it would be practically invisible to the naked eye. "What all is installed?"

Aiden was ready for this. He got a laptop and opened a document for her to see.

Sarah didn't forget about the wedding, but she can see that he is not willing to talk about it and if she keeps on pushing it, they will only end up bickering. She decided to focus on the document and learn about this luxurious aircraft which is theirs.

Sarah smiled while thinking that this jet is their first asset as Mr. and Mrs. White (even though they are not married yet).

Half an hour later…

Jesse and Oni are seated in the work area, facing each other, and discussing current progress and future plans for scouting Shadow Ravens. This is their usual topic when it's just the two of them. Jesse always wants to double-triple check everything, and Oni is available to listen and give suggestions when needed.

Sarah and Aiden are in the lounging area. Aiden is working on his laptop and Sarah dozed off with her head on his shoulder.

Aiden closed his laptop and observed Sarah who has troubles staying awake in the plane.

Aiden's heart is full at the thought that out of so many people, Sarah lowers her guard around him enough for her to sleep off. She was always like that, since they met.

Aiden sighed and moved slowly, picking up Sarah and carrying her to the back of the plane, into the bedroom.

He placed her on the bed gently and observed her sleeping face. Aiden realized that he left his laptop behind and wanted to go and get it so that he can work while she sleeps, but she was already snuggling next to him, so he gave up on that idea and found a comfortable position. Knowing Sarah, it can take a while before she wakes up.

Aiden was unable to sleep, so he was thinking, about Sarah mostly.

After watching that video from seventeen years ago, Aiden is confident that the two of them are meant to be. Why else would she be on that swing when he trespassed into the property of James and Mary Hill? Why else would she tell him her name, if she refused to talk to anyone else? Why else would she pique his interest when they met (again) at the University?

Aiden remembered that about a year and a half ago, in the Hill family villa, Sarah asked him if he believes in destiny. She described it as something that you can't prevent and when it happens, everything feels right. Aiden believes that if destiny exists, then this is it: the two of them together.

Sometime later…

Sarah opened her eyes and observed that she is on the bed, next to Aiden.

She wanted to get up, but Aiden held her in place. "Sleep more, there is time."

"I've slept enough. How much time until we reach our destination?", Sarah asked while relaxing in his embrace.

"Eve, how much time until we land?", Aiden asked.

"Three hours and forty one minute.", Eve responded.

Sarah's eyebrows furrowed and Aiden understood her concern. Jesse and Oni are onboard, and so are the two flight attendants (other than the pilot) and she is worried that they will find out about Eve.

"It's soundproof. No one can hear what is going on here.", Aiden ended with a mischievous smirk.

Sarah felt his hands creep under her top. "Hey, hey!", she exclaimed while scooting up on the bed, away from Aiden. "They are right behind this wall!"

Aiden nodded in understanding. "You are worried that even with soundproofing they will hear something?"

"Yes!", she confirmed.

Aiden grabbed the waist of her jeans and yanked her lower. He pressed her on the bed with the weight of his body while murmuring behind her ear: "If you are worried about the noise, then do your best not to make any."

"But, but…", Sarah weakly protested. "I've heard that in the plane everything is more intense, because of the change in pressure and…"

Aiden stopped Sarah's next words with a kiss.

"Mmm…" He hummed in satisfaction when his palms squeezed her breasts under her top. He could play with them all day and not get bored of it. "More intense? There is one way to confirm that."

Sarah saw that she can't stop him, and she does not want to stop him either. After all, it's just the two of them in the bed and they have more than three and a half hours. But if he thought that she will allow him to bully her, he is mistaken.

Sarah lifted her leg and rolled them with her ending up on top of him.

Her passionate gaze didn't leave his while she unbuttoned his jeans.

Aiden understood what she is up to and he placed his palms behind his head. Ah, this will be the best plane ride ever!

"About the intensity… let me know…", she smiled slyly before taking him in her mouth.
