BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1383 - Honeymoon In Las Vegas (1)
~ Las Vegas, the Bellagio hotel ~
Wednesday, June 24
10:21 AM
Sarah woke up lazily and sat up in the bed so that she can see the Las Vegas strip from the 25th floor. Massive windows are covering the entire wall and if she comes closer, the already magnificent view is enhanced by the addition of the Bellagio fountain below.
Sarah admires the fact that Aiden got them a room at the center of the hotel, so the view of the fountain below is magnificent. The previous evening she watched several shows, and each was different. It\'s not the first time for Sarah to watch the show, but this was with Aiden from their honeymoon suite, so it was special.
She glanced around while trying to spot Aiden. It took her a second to hear shuffling from the direction of the bathroom.
Sarah wondered, what is the time? Since they arrived at the hotel, they are spending quality time in the bed and replenishing their energy with delicious food which is delivered by the room service. After all the travel and messed up sleep pattern, Sarah would not be surprised if they are here two or three days, or maybe more. But it\'s their honeymoon, and Aiden is in charge of their itinerary, so she can relax and enjoy the experience. And she is enjoying it.
Due to the fact that Aiden is in the bathroom, Sarah swiftly reached for her phone. If he is not here, she can check her emails!
Aiden got out of the bathroom while rubbing his damp hair with a towel. The steam shower was just right, and he feels energetic.
His movements paused when his sight fell on Sarah. She is lying on her belly, and her feet are wiggling while she is fiddling with her phone. Her midsection is covered with a bedsheet and he can see her mesmerizing profile. Aiden is confident that Sarah is the most beautiful woman in the world.
Aiden smiled. That is his wife, and he will get to see her every day for the rest of their lives.
"Mrs. White, working again?"
Aiden\'s question startled Sarah. She didn\'t hear when he got out of the bathroom.
Sarah knows that he does not want her to work, but based on the tone of his voice, she can tell that he is not angry.
Sarah kept her phone on the side and turned to face him. She was not sure where to look. His messy damp hair, dark eyes which smiled at her, devilish smirk, toned abs, or the towel which is resting loosely around his waist. Everything about Aiden perfect. He is standing next to the bed and the only thing that can make this better is if he comes on the bed.
"How long are we married? Two weeks? Why are you bossing me around already?", Sarah said teasingly.
She held onto his towel and tugged him to the bed.
Aiden didn\'t budge, but the towel was in Sarah\'s hand.
"Uhm…", Sarah cleared her throat and looked at his naked body lecherously.
"Were you trying to do something?", Aiden asked playfully while gesturing toward the towel.
Sarah scooted on the bed toward Aiden, got on her knees, and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Mr. White, are you playing hard to get?"
"Mrs. White, I am already yours. You just need to reach out and take what you want."
"I am reaching.", Sarah whispered into his lips.
Aiden wrapped his arms around Sarah and his lips landed on hers a moment before they fell on the mattress.
3:20 PM
Sarah and Aiden exited the elevator and are heading down the long hallway.
One of the doors at the end of the hallway is providing access to several lounges which are used for high-stakes gambling. Of course, only people with invitations can enter, and Aiden made sure that Mr. and Mrs. White are invited. He knows how much Sarah enjoys gambling and considering that they are in Vegas, they should come out of the room and do some gambling.
Aiden\'s well-fitting black tuxedo and Sarah\'s elegant silver knee-length party dress with embroidery in the bust area are great choices for this occasion. The two of them look like people who can risk several hundred thousand dollars on a night of playing games.
Sarah is giddy since Aiden told her that there will be roulette, craps, and (of course) poker. They agreed to gamble separately with fixed starting amounts of one hundred thousand dollars each, and at the end to compare who won more.
Neither of them thinks that losing money is an option and both of them have the track record to support that confidence.
Sarah saw that they passed next to the restrooms. "Can you wait a minute? I want to check my makeup."
Aiden gestured to Sarah to go ahead. She checked her makeup three times already and it\'s perfect. Aiden does not understand why Sarah is so nervous about it. Probably because she does not use makeup often.
Aiden looked around while waiting for Sarah to come out and his gaze landed on a free-standing floor sign in front of the closed double door. He got closer to read:
"Symposium of Neurosurgeons
At the Bellagio in Las Vegas
Wednesday, June 24, 2020
Highlighted speakers:
…"
Sarah got out of the ladies\' room and saw Aiden peeking through the double door next to the floor sign for the symposium of neurosurgeons.
She got behind him and tugged his sleeve. "What are you doing?"
"Shh… This is the interesting part…"
Sarah was irritated that he shushed her. She squeezed next to him to see what is so important.
A second later, she rolled her eyes at Aiden. "Are you kidding me?"
"What?"
"We are still on our honeymoon and you are looking at another woman!"
Sarah didn\'t wait for him to respond. She walked away in hurried steps.
Aiden dashed after Sarah down the hallway. "Love, it\'s not what you think."
"Oh, and what am I thinking?"
"There is no woman other than you in my eyes."
"If that is true, how are you going to explain that until a few seconds ago, you were staring at that one?", Sarah asked icily while pointing to the closed doors of the hall where the symposium of neurosurgeons is being held. Well, she knows that he was not looking at the woman, and she was irritated that he shushed her, so she wanted to give him some hard time.
Aiden waved his hands in panic. "Love, it\'s nothing like that. Don\'t jump into conclusions. I heard the applause and I peeked in out of curiosity. What I saw was that the question-answer session is in progress, and a woman is standing next to the MC waiting to hear the question, and a man from the audience stood up. Everyone was silent, waiting to hear his question, but then he ended up asking her to marry him."
Sarah thought that it would be more believable if Aiden admitted looking at another woman. "Really? A man proposed to a speaker at the symposium of neurosurgeons?"
Aiden nodded earnestly. "The MC was: \'let\'s move on to the next question…\' and the man stood up with a microphone and said some sweet words and then asked her to marry him and everyone was absolutely silent, and the woman on the stage covered her mouth in shock."
"And what did she say?"
Aiden scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Uhm… I don\'t know. You came and interrupted my eavesdropping."
Sarah scrutinized Aiden. He is a gossip and the crazy story might be true. She decided to focus on the reason they are here. "To which room are we going?"
Aiden understood Sarah\'s question as a sign that she is not doubting him anymore. His face lit up and he gestured down the hallway. "This way, my missus…"
