Back in Steve's office, Bridgette was in a daze. 'What did just happen?'
Bridgette is in her early twenties, but she does not have much experience with the opposite sex and dating. Her overprotective brother made sure that no relationship progressed beyond kissing. Every ti, as soon as Felix found out that Bridgette has a boyfriend, he would hover around as an anti-boyfriend device, and shoot questions at the poor boy until they ran away.
Steve is the first one which endured Felix-hurricane. Brigette is very happy for that because she likes Steve a lot. She is excited and nervous when she thinks how this relationship is progressing.
She stood up and started adjusting her clothes. When she reached for her bra, she cupped her breast in her hand. 'It feels different.' Bridgette rembers how it felt when Steve's hand was kneading her, and it was electrifying. Her own hand failed to produce similar result. With her hand, it was tingly at best. Bridgette was confused, with many unanswered questions. At this ti, there is only one person with whom she can talk about this.
Bridgette fixed her clothes, hair and headed to Sarah's office.
…
Sarah was ready to leave office and go ho when Bridgette entered. "Do you have a minute?"
"Sure." Sarah gestured to the sofa and waited for Bridgette to start talking.
Bridgette was fidgeting her fingers nervously. Sarah could guess that it's sothing related to Steve. Bridgette was always very bold, only when it was sothing involving Steve, she would show this insecure side.
"Sarah, how did you know that it's ti to go to the next level with Aiden?" Bridgette finally found her words.
"Are you talking about going all the way?", Sarah guessed, but wanted to clarify.
Bridgette nodded.
Sarah thought for so ti and rembered the morning in a hotel room in Seattle, after company Christmas party. "I didn't think about it. I an, I did think about IT, but not about if it's the right ti or not."
Bridgette was confused, "So... what did you think about in order to get there?"
"I'm not sure..." Sarah was digging through her mories. "I rember that he made feel safe, and that he was holding back, because of ... I believed that his feelings are real, and that he will take care of ... Thinking about his feelings gave the courage to acknowledge what I want. I wanted to be with him more than anything... It was impossible to stay away from him. Being with him felt inescapable. Everything in my mind revolved around him. I was at a point where even if he was a criminal, I would be with him... and once I accepted the fact that I'm madly in love with him, it was just a matter of waiting for the right opportunity." Sarah looked at Bridgette. "I don't know if any of this makes sense."
Bridgette smiled. "It does. Thank you."
There were other things Bridgette wanted to ask, but seeing that Sarah is ready to head out, she does not want to keep her longer.
Sarah was still rembering that hotel room. "Oh, word of advice..."
Bridgette listened attentively.
"Make sure to lock the doors." Sarah rembered room cleaning lady. "There is nothing worse than soone interrupting you halfway."
Bridgette rembered her state when Jeff entered Steve's office and blushed. "Yeah."
Sarah noticed Bridgette's expression. "Oh? It seems you were there already?"
"What makes you think that?" Bridgette tried to hide her embarrassnt. But seeing Sarah's inquisitive gaze, she could not hide it. "We were just kissing... and Jeff got into the office."
"Just kissing?" Sarah did not believe that it's so simple. "I never saw a person blush this much over a kiss or two... are you sure you were not ready to go further than that?"
"That... I don't know...", Bridgette's voice trailed off.
"I think you do.", Sarah smiled and sat next to Bridgette. "Here is one thing that works for . Aiden told sothing that never made regret my actions... whenever he saw that I'm conflicted, he would say: do what you feel is right. When the ti cos, and you are not sure what to do, just do what you feel is right. Don't think what Steve wants, or what Felix wants, or what I want... or anyone else. You only need to listen to your desires, and you will not regret it."
There was a short knock on the door, and Aiden peeked in. Seeing two of them on the sofa, he didn't enter. "Do you need few minutes?"
Sarah looked at Bridgette. "I think we are done here." She stood up and took her backpack before facing Bridgette. "Let know how it went..." Sarah winked. "If you need to talk more, my phone will be on."
Bridgette looked at Sarah and smiled. "Thank you."
…
Sarah and Aiden walked to their apartnt while holding each other.
"Will you tell what was that with Bridgette?", Aiden was curious, and ready to hear so gossip.
"Girl talk." Sarah smiled and changed the topic, "How are we on ti?"
Aiden checked ti on his phone. "We have about two hours to pack and have dinner before we need to head to the airport."
"Thank you for coming with ." Without him joining, she would miss him like crazy, and probably cut the training short.
"When you said two weeks, I had no choice but to tag along." Aiden pulled her closer. "I promised myself not to separate from you. I will follow wherever you go." He held her left hand and placed a kiss on her promise ring.
Sarah felt her heart lting.
Seeing her loving gaze directed at him, Aiden smiled. "Don't worry about . I will work while you train, and whenever you don't train, we will be together. Who knows, maybe I join you for a workout?"
"I think my mom would love that." Sarah liked the thought of them training with her mom.
Aiden shivered, "Your mom is scary."
"Wait until you see her fight... then you will see what scary is.." Sarah teased him.
