Chapter 312 - Team Of Six (1)
~Fairfield~
It's Thursday evening, and Sarah and Aiden are getting ready to head out. They are going to a nightclub which Vivian picked to meet with Sarah.
Aiden watched Sarah pick equipment. "How many cameras we have?"
"Enough." Sarah's response was confident and short.
Their plan is to go and set up their own surveillance in the nightclub, so that when next evening Sarah comes there with Vivian, Eve can be of assistance.
Sarah's phone rang, and she talked to JoAnna while arranging mini cameras in the hidden pocket of her purse.
After the short talk with JoAnna, Sarah informed Aiden: "Anna had the interview for her residence in LA Medical Center. She thinks it went well. They will get back to her tomorrow."
"When that settles, she will officially move to LA." Aiden was still adjusting to the idea that his brother has set his eyes on a woman, and that Jeff is this serious. He believes that Jeff is moving fast, maybe too fast. He forgot how since Christmas he and Sarah are inseparable.
"Yeah, I guess... " Sarah was worried how Edward will respond. Her dad seems to accept Aiden now, but she still remembers that he didn't talk to her for two months after he found out about Aiden and her dating. "I don't think she told our parents."
"Do you think they will object?" Aiden could guess her thoughts.
"I don't know. But she got engaged and she will move to a different city... Stella and Edward are completely in the dark. They don't even know that she is in a relationship. It might be hard to swallow all that in one go." Sarah shook her head and got herself out from those unpleasant thoughts.
She looked at Aiden dressed up for the club. "You look dashing."
Her eyes were full of admiration for the man in front of her. His simple outfit of blue jeans with light blue t-shirt fit him very well. Actually, for Sarah, no matter what he wore, she was enchanted by him.
Sarah stood up and went to get herself ready. While picking her clothes, she thought of Aiden and felt lucky to have him by her side. No matter how she looked at him, he was her perfect match. Like two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together.
Sarah wore a simple dark blue short sleeved dress that ended just above her knees. She looked at herself in the mirror and spun on her toes, enjoying seeing the dress make a full circle high above her thighs.
As much as she didn't want to admit to herself, she was impacted by the fact that JoAnna is engaged. Sarah caught herself few times thinking about not so near future and tried imagining how her life with Aiden will look like in five or ten years from now. She was not sure if she sees them engaged or married, but she definitely sees her future together with Aiden, her Greek God.
…
That evening, Sarah and Aiden entered popular night club in Fairfield, called Reflex. Reflex is the only proper night club in Fairfield, other locations where people gather looking for a good time in the evening, are more like bars.
It's a large open area with a DJ on one side and a bar on the other. Few scattered tables are close to one wall, and opposite wall has a bar height counter, which is attached to the wall, with a function of holding the beverages. In the middle is a large open area. Ambience in the club is very dark with few colorful spotlights from the ceiling swooping through the crowd of people, while providing minimal light source.
"This is not bad", Sarah commented. "Three cameras will cover everything." Sarah pointed at three areas high on the wall. Aiden nodded in understanding.
They went in the back to check one passage, and there is a hallway that leads to restrooms.
"And one there." Sarah pointed. "We don't need to monitor inside restrooms."
Aiden agreed with her assessment. He loved watching Sarah when her brain is coming up with plans on the spot. He admires her sharp mind, he always did. Seeing that she is eager to start, he pulled her into his embrace. "Let's dance first. When the crowd is more intoxicated, we can place cameras with reduced risk of being noticed."
"Dance? Feels like forever since we danced last time." Sarah happily allowed him to take her to the open area for dancing.
They embraced each other and moved slowly while their eyes were locked onto each other. The beat of the music was much faster than their movements, but they didn't care. They moved following the beat of some unknown music that played in their minds.
Last few weeks, they spent their time with just the two of them, unless they were working.
Sarah forgot this feeling of being inside crowd which faded into blurs around them. Aiden still has the power to enchant her, just like when they danced at the Christmas party at Orion Enterprise. The party where she gathered courage, she didn't know she had, and she made a move first to kiss him. Her heartbeat now is even faster than then. Now she is aware of body hidden under that clothes. Man who wants her just as much she wants him, who can lift her up to heavens and make her forget herself in his embrace.
Aiden was fixated on her, and it seems that his thoughts matched hers. He pulled her close to him, and their bodies stuck together.
He leaned in and said into her ear. "Let me know when you want a drink."
Sarah shivered. No matter how intimate they are, the feeling of being in the crowd and exchanging secrets only two of them know, provided the mystery that excited her beyond imagination.
Sarah got on her toes and spoke back into Aiden's ear, "I will".
She felt his body twitch lightly and was pleased that she was able to return the tantalizing feeling.
Aiden straightened his back and looked at her face. Sarah's smug smile provoked him. He leaned again to talk to her ear. "You know... that back seat still waits to be... checked out."
They drove there with his Mercedes.
Sarah imagined two of them, on the back seat, in the dark parking lot, and felt her heartrate increase. "Let's set up the cameras... first."
Aiden's eyes flashed in surprise that she didn't reject the idea. For a moment he trembled from anticipation.. His hand went low on her back and he pulled her close to him while his lips found hers.
