Chapter 114 - Weekend in New York (4)

Name:Is this destiny? Author:RedSonia
Felix and Sarah exchanged contact info before he left for the night. She looked at his last name... "Martin... sounds familiar. I think I know someone else with that last name.", Sarah was not able to remember no matter how much she tried.

"Possible, it is a popular last name.", Felix said.

"Is that so...", Sarah is bad with remembering names, so she decided to give up.

Sophia went to her room, saying that she needs to do some work, and then she will sleep. It was almost nine o'clock.

"How about we go out?", Sarah suggested.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Just out. There is a lot happening on the streets, it's still early."

"OK", Aiden agreed.

First, they headed to Central Park, and ended up ice skating at Wollman Rink. It's a cold January night, so they got hot cocoa to warm themselves while riding in a horse carriage through Central Park.

After the ride, they headed toward Times Square. They walked as they held each other, surrounded by thousands of people and feeling like it's just the two of them. Sarah and Aiden enjoyed watching street performers. Sarah liked artwork of one young man who right there on the street created images of outer space, with stars, colorful planets and moons using spray paints only. Aiden bought for Sarah one piece, that she spent long time admiring.

They sat holding each other while another artist drew a cartoon portrait of them, with a background of New York skyline and a large heart above their heads.

Sarah pulled him towards street vendors to get some food. Aiden rejected at first saying that it's not healthy, and that they should go to a restaurant, but seeing how excited she was, he gave in.

While walking through the crowd, they did their best to avoid ticket sellers who would try to sell them tickets for just about anything from tourist attractions, to bus rides, theater shows and even some adult night entertainment.

Sarah enjoyed sharing this experience with him. She didn't forget to take few photos of them along the way, for the travel diary.

When they came back to the apartment, it was late.

Only when she felt the warmth of a heated space, did Sarah realize that her face is almost aching from the cold from outside. Her hands were a bit better since she held them inside sleeves of her coat, but they still felt cold. She looked at Aiden, who was holding artwork and other souvenirs they got while they walked, and she felt guilty. 'His hands must be frozen. And we got most of those things because of me.'

She got on the bed and called him, "Come under the blanket to warm up."

Aiden didn't refuse Sarah's invitation. They embraced each other, and Sarah could not help herself... she got her hand under his top and placed it on his back. He twitched feeling her cold hand, but he endured and didn't complain. Seeing that her hand is getting warmer, she got her other hand and placed it on his chest. Aiden endured this cold attack as well while clenching his teeth. Part of her enjoyed torturing him in such a way. In a second his expression changed, and he flashed a smile while his hand went under Sarah's top and landed on her back. Sarah struggled to contain her screams how cold his hand felt on her warm back. She tried wiggling out of his embrace, but he only held her tighter. After few excruciating seconds, her back was getting used to the chill of his hand, and she pouted at him in protest.

"You did it first", Aiden defended himself. He flashed a mischievous smile. "I still have one more hand to warm up."

Sarah remembered where she held her second hand, and panic appeared on her face. "You would not dare...". She started squirming, and he loosened his embrace just enough to allow her to turn around.

Sarah was confident that she is able to escape his grasp and at that moment she felt him pressing her back against his body. There was no escape. Now her back leaned on his chest, and his hand which held her back landed on her stomach. Her back was used to chills of his hand, but her abdomen was not. She felt another wave of twitching coursing through her body and she cried for mercy.

His other hand went slowly under her top, and she felt him moving her bra out of the way... as his hand landed on her breast, she braced herself expecting an unpleasant cold shock... but it didn't come. His icy hand gently pressing her breast felt so good that she let out a moan. As a response to her reaction, his hand which held her abdomen moved to her other breast and he started kissing the back of her neck.

Within minutes their clothes ended up all over the room as they kissed passionately. The chill they felt from a cold January night was replaced by the heat of passion they feel for each other.

...

Sarah had plans for next day. However, they woke up late. When they got out of the room, it was past noon.

Sophia was in the living area. "Oh, you are awake! Considering the noise you two made last night, I thought you will sleep through the day."

Sarah was petrified. She looked at Aiden for some support, but he only mouthed to her, 'not soundproof' , and his lips stretched into a mischievous smile.

Sarah didn't dare look at her sister. She felt awkward until Sophia called her to take the security equipment, designed by Felix, that she kept on the side for her.

Sarah's embarrassment was replaced by a delighted of seeing new gadgets. 'They are so small in size.' She could not wait to test them out. Camera is the size of her thumbnail, and it has a GPS so that you can determine the location. Sarah was happy to confirm that Eve can connect to the camera without problems.

"What's the story with you and Felix?", Sarah asked Sophia while packing devices into a bag.

"There is no story."

"Really?", Sarah looked at the red roses in the vase.

Sophia noticed where Sarah is looking, and corrected herself, "There is no story at this time. He is nice, and who knows what will happen in the future. I met him only recently and I don't want to rush into things."

"Relationships are about getting to know each other."

Sophia nodded, "I agree. At the same time, I'm aware that I can't handle a whirlwind relationship. I'm looking for stability... I need to move slowly and see where it will lead. Felix is nice... he makes me feel comfortable. As long as he is not forcing things to go faster than what I'm comfortable with, I will not reject him."

Sarah remembered that at the beginning, she said that Aiden makes her feel comfortable. Sarah looked at Aiden and smiled.

Sophia looked at Sarah and shook her head. "What do you want to do before you leave?"

"Lunch... and I'm afraid that we don't have time for anything else.", Sarah wanted to take a tourist bus ride through Manhattan with Aiden, the one with two levels and open top, but they were out of time.
