Chapter 1735 - One Day In Moscow (1)

~ Moscow, the Four Seasons Hotel ~

June 10

Sarah woke up and it took her a few seconds to realize that she is in a hotel room.

She remembers that last night, after the party, Aiden and she headed out for their one day vacation to Moscow. Aiden was driving, and she slept off. He carried her inside the hotel and here she is.

Normally, Sarah would wake up at the moment the vehicle stopped, but last night she was super tired and she remembers stirring while he carried her and his, 'Shh… go back to sleep… I've got ya…', was enough for her to drift back into dreamland.

Back to the present...

"Happy birthday, love…", Aiden murmured close to her ear and kissed her shoulder.

Sarah turned and met his smile. "Good morning, love…"

She snuggled into his embrace. "What is the time?"

"It does not matter. We have the whole day. If you are still tired, sleep."

His response told her that she overslept.

"Did I miss lunch?"

Aiden chuckled. "Only breakfast. It's after 10 o'clock. I heard that you didn't sleep much lately, so feel free to catch up on it. You were so exhausted last night that you didn't realize I removed your clothes and tucked you into bed."

Sarah hummed in disapproval. "I don't want to sleep much today. It's my birthday and I want to see what you planned for me."

"OK. Go, shower and I will order room service for brunch and then we can head out…"

Sarah wondered if she heard him right. Did he tell her to shower on her own? She glanced at Aiden and saw that he is dressed up and smells fresh. Ah, he woke up earlier and he was waiting by her side. He is the sweetest man ever!

"Going forward, don't let me sleep if you are awake. I don't want to miss my time with you.", Sarah grumbled while going to the bathroom.

When Sarah joined Aiden on the balcony of their hotel room, the breakfast was there.

Sarah admired the view of the Red Square that included the colorful St Basil's Cathedral and Kremlin clock tower.

"What do you want to do today?", Aiden asked while putting a slice of toast with jam in her plate. "I have something planned for tonight, and until then you can pick between parks, museums… that gray building down there is a mall…"

Sarah chewed on the toast while looking at the brochures he pushed in front of her. She could see maps with pictures and information on locations and activities. "You did your homework. How about today we do touristy things? I want to take a lot of photos."

Aiden approved.

Sarah and Aiden spent the first few hours walking in the area of the Red Square, taking photos, and checking out historic buildings. In the afternoon, they spent some time in the mall, shopping. Sarah was hopping happily from one store to another, while Aiden followed with bags in his hands and he didn't complain, not even a little bit.

It was close to 5 o'clock in the afternoon when Aiden indicated to Sarah that it's time to get ready. They got all their purchases sent to their hotel room and Aiden led the way to one side-alley and then through the back door.

"Mr. White?", a young lady asked when Sarah and Aiden made their way into an unexpectedly large and well-lit hallway.

Aiden confirmed. "Yes. We have an appointment." 

The lady gestured to the side, and Sarah and Aiden followed her up the stairs. They passed a lounge where a few people chatted and then the lady gestured to one door. "This is for Mrs. White."

Aiden gave Sarah a quick kiss. "I will meet you in the lounge when you are done."

Sarah entered the room and paused at the sight of three people. Based on the large mirrors, hangers with clothes, make up on the well-lit counter, and a box of pink hair rollers, Sarah realized that she is looking at a stylist, a hairdresser, and a makeup artist. It seems that Aiden planned something fancy for tonight, and she needs to dress up for the occasion.

"Welcome, Mrs. White…", an older woman gestured to Sarah to come closer. "I am Madam Kovac, my job is to make you look fabulous! Let's start by picking your gown because that will set the tone for the hair and makeup…"

Sarah noticed that her color choices are going in shades between black and green. She picked a dark green sleeveless dress that reached the floor and it had delicate black embroidered details.

With black high-heeled shoes and a black clutch, her selection of clothes was completed, and she told Madam Kovac to decide on jewelry.

"Your husband instructed us to use this. It arrived overnight…", the lady opened a familiar jewelry box and Sarah could not believe that she is looking at the necklace with green diamonds, earrings, and the ring with gemstones shaped like a butterfly that Aiden gave her on the day he proposed (the second time). And that was the same jewelry she was wearing when they got married. It seems that Aiden had someone send it here from the Cliffside Villa.

She smiled dreamily while thinking that Aiden is able to focus on all those details. He is amazing like that.

About half an hour later, Sarah checked herself in the mirror and nodded in approval. The makeup was light and flawless, and her hair was pulled up into a neat bun that allowed a few curled strands to frame her face.

She twirled and enjoyed how the soft satin of the skirt moves around her.

Sarah didn't see Aiden in the lounge, and she guessed that he is still getting ready.

The lounge has a bar and several sitting areas that consist of extra-wide chairs arranged around tables.

Sarah picked one of the unoccupied sitting areas, and a minute later, a waiter approached her.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"Sparkling water with lemon, please."

The waiter nodded and went toward the bar.

Sarah reached for her phone, to keep busy until Aiden arrives, when she noticed a man coming toward her.

"I haven't seen you before. First time here? Are you new in Moscow?", the man asked as he took a seat on the chair next to Sarah.

Sarah glanced at him. The man was her age, maybe a bit older... he had sharp features, neatly trimmed light brown hair, and bluish-gray eyes. Objectively, he was handsome and even his smile was charming, but no one can match her Aiden.

Based on his questions, she concluded that he is a regular and probably lives in Moscow.

"I'm a tourist."

He didn't believe her. "How can a tourist get an appointment here? Even for the most influential families, it takes weeks for an appointment unless you know the owner."

Sarah was surprised to hear this and she wondered if the man is trying to sound important, or if Aiden really performed some miracle. Well, he is a White and he must have connections everywhere. Or maybe he used his Omega skills and hacked into their scheduling system. In any case, her husband is awesome.
