Is this destiny?

While Aiden and Sarah kissed, atmosphere got more heated by the second.

Sarah\'s hands slipped under his top and ran over his back, pulling him closer. Oh, how she loves to feel those muscles under her palms. She pressed her body on his and the only thing on her mind was that they should remove clothes and feel each other.

She was dissapointed when Aiden broke the kiss and held her hands in his.

He kissed back of her each palm and took few deep breaths to compose himself before speaking: "Let me help you shower."

Sarah was surprised that \'help with shower\' only meant that he will give her a fresh set of clothes and a clean towel, before leaving the bathroom. Usually it meant a much more… thorough service.

She assumed that he might be hungry. Why else would he avoid the chance for two of them to make love? With that thought, Sarah showered quickly and was ready for food.

They ate in a pleasant silence while exchanging loving gazes. She likes that they don\'t need to talk. It was always like that.

Silence was pleasant for her, but Aiden was doing his best to hide his uneasiness. He wondered how much Sarah remembers. Did she really forget the photos and her nightmare which lead to her locking herself in the bathroom? But he does not want to mention it. If she does not remember and he brings it up, it will jog her memory, and if she remembers it then him talking about it will resurface the unpleasant topic.

Aiden decided: he will not talk about it unless she brings it up. And he will do his best to show his sincerity. He will remind her how much he loves her and how much she means to him, even if he needs to start from the beginning.

Sarah watched Aiden as he cleaned up the table. He insisted that she rests and lets him do it.

"What do you want to do now?", he asked with a smile while sitting next to her on the sofa.

"I don\'t know… how about we work? We have few things to work on, you pick which one first." Sarah always liked working with him, and since he mentioned that he wants them to start over… this is what they did at the beginning of their relationship.

He cringed at the thought that one of the pending works is looking into his past. But he did his best to conceal it behind a nervous smile.

They spent the day looking into Regina\'s family business, with the focus on their illegal diamond trading.

Aiden diligently prepared dinner, rejecting Sarah\'s offer to help out.

"You are pampering me too much. I\'m starting to believe you are guilty of something.", Sarah joked. She missed that his body jerked at her comment.

Dinner was lively. Sarah was excited about what they found.

"With all this information, we can take over their diamond business and none of those people will know that their Boss changed!"

"You want to go into diamond business?", Aiden raised his eyebrows, entertained by Sarah\'s enthusiasm.

"I\'m a girl! And diamonds are girl\'s best friends!" Sarah laughed. "We like sparkly things!"

He loves to hear her laugh, and he will do anything to keep that smile on. "OK. Let\'s take it over… But it\'s illegal. Are you OK with that?"

Sarah rubbed her chin for few seconds. "What makes it illegal? What if we fix that? We can make it a legitimate business, right?"

"We can try. Let\'s talk with Jeff and Sophia about that." If it makes her happy, he has no problem doing it.

"Oh, I\'m excited!" Sarah jumped out of her seat like she wants to call them right away.

"Calm down. We can\'t talk to them today. Tomorrow we can have a conference call." As soon as he saw Sarah\'s confused expression, he regretted his words.

Sarah paused. "Tomorrow? What day it is?"

"Monday" Aiden could not lie. If he lied now, he does not know how he would get out of it later.

Sarah was confused. "Did I miss a day?"

He laughed and rubbed her head. "Silly. You slept a lot, but how can you miss a day? Help me with dishes."

Sarah was distracted with this. "Eeeeh, I get to help now?"

"You don\'t want to?"

"It seems that pampering is done..." Sarah pouted while collecting used dishes. But she didn\'t mind doing the dishes, she likes to do anything as long as it\'s with him.

Aiden sighed in relief while thinking how this went rather well. She didn\'t make a big fuss about missing the whole Sunday. On the other side, Sarah didn\'t ask for clarifications how she suddenly found herself in this apartment. She accepted his words without probing much into it, and that shows how much she trusts him.

Aiden scolded himself internally for taking advantage of that trust. But what is his other option? To tell her that he messed up repeatedly and she had a meltdown and he brought her here while she was drugged? That will not turn well for any of them. He needs to make use of this time, to prove his feelings, so that when Sarah remembers things she forgot about, she does not leave him.

They ended the day with a movie. As usually, Sarah slept off about halfway.

Sarah was not able to stay awake through the movies since Aiden started watching them with her. Sitting next to him made her feel relaxed and comfortable, and it never took more than half an hour before she found herself drifting off to sleep with her head resting on his shoulder.

Aiden anticipated this, so they got ready for bed before movie, and watched it in their pajamas. Now that she was asleep, he only needs to carry her to the bed and day one was a success. Or so he thought.

Later that night, Aiden could not sleep. He held Sarah and caressed her hair. He loves watching her while she sleeps, he always did. He is a bit unsettled at the thought that she is like a ticking bomb; the day went great, but there is a chance that it will all flip in a moment.

Will she be angry at him because he brought her here and is acting like everything is normal? He can\'t allow himself to think that way. He needs to stay positive. It will all be fine. It has to be.

Eventually, he slept off.

Aiden woke up in the middle of the night, because Sarah was stirring.. He snapped out of his drowsy stupor when he realized that she is trashing in the bed and her face is full of tears. Another nightmare!
