Chapter 94 Better Be Friends

Sarah went to work with a tired look on her face. She couldn't sleep at all!

Last night she kept thinking that she had to choose Steve, but a part of her heart was telling her to choose Michael. Before she knew it, time had flown by so fast and morning had greeted her.

"Hopefully I don't run into Steve today," Sarah thought as she waited for the elevator to come down.

Suddenly Sarah felt someone touch her shoulder and startled her, and it seemed to work because she was startled.

"Good morning," said Steve, laughing at Sarah.

Sarah sighed when she saw Steve. It seemed fate was playing tricks on her once again because the person she was trying to avoid had instead met her.

"Good morning," Sarah replied and looked back ahead. Steve had behaved as usual, but Sarah still felt awkward.

"Did you sleep well?" Steve asked, trying to strike up a conversation as they waited for the elevator to come down.

The elevator doors finally opened, prompting Sarah to walk in, followed by Steve.

"Yes," Sarah answered curtly, pressing her floor button and pressing the floor button for Steve.

Steve just smiled at that, then pulled back his hand that had wanted to press the floor button.

In the elevator, the two of them were silent, making the atmosphere feel very awkward because they were the only two in the elevator.

Not long after, the elevator doors opened. Sarah had arrived at her destination floor.

As she was about to step outside, Sarah suddenly stopped, then turned around and looked at Steve.

"Let's talk… at lunch. I'll be waiting for you at that place," Sarah said firmly.

She was feeling very awkward with Steve, and it seemed it would have been better if she had given him the answer.

After all, she didn't want to keep Steve waiting for her answer too long.

Steve was a little taken aback by that, before finally nodding his head.

In fact, he could clearly see the dark circles in Sarah's eyes, indicating that she didn't seem to be sleeping well because of what he did last night.

Steve also felt the same way, he couldn't sleep because he was too excited about what he was doing, he kept thinking about that kiss.

But it seemed, in contrast to his excited self, Sarah was thinking about the answer to his question.

Honestly, Steve wasn't confident, but let's hope he's wrong!

***

Steve walked to the park near the hospital holding a paper bag containing sandwiches and two drinks for him and Sarah.

Unconsciously Steve turned his body to look for Sarah when he saw the seat where he had confessed was still empty, it seemed that Sarah would be a little late.

"The sky is so clear," Steve muttered, who had been sitting looking up at the sky, one hand slightly raised to block the sunlight.

Luckily there is a tree near this bench, so the atmosphere is not too hot.

Not long after, Sarah finally came running.

"Sorry I'm late!" Sarah said, taking a breath when she finally arrived.

Steve then immediately handed her the drink he had bought for Sarah.

"Thanks," Sarah replied, drinking it and then immediately walked over to Steve and sat beside him.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Sarah didn't know how to start.

"You want to eat? I bought a sandwich," Steve said then offered the sandwich which was still in the paper bag.

Sarah fell silent, slightly tempted by that because her stomach was already hungry, before finally shaking her head.

"I want to talk first," Sarah said, rejecting it.

Steve just nodded hearing that and then put the paper bag back on the bench.

The atmosphere became quiet again, they could only hear the sound of trees being blown by the wind, and the sound of their respective hearts beating rapidly.

"Steve..." Sarah called after a moment.

Steve, who had been looking forward, immediately looked at Sarah. Their eyes met immediately because Sarah was staring at him.

Seeing this, Steve couldn't help but smile. It wasn't a look in the eye that would give him good news. It looked like she was apologizing.

"I guess… I can't be with you right now. I can't explain it, but the timing isn't right," Sarah replied with an apologetic smile.

After Sarah thought about it again. She couldn't accept Steve with her condition which was still pretending to be Michael's wife.

She currently lives with her ex-husband, and she always sees Michael as the last person before she ends her day, and the first person when she starts her day.

Her heart would definitely keep pounding even if she didn't want to.

So if she accepted Steve right now, it wouldn't feel right. She had to settle her business with Michael first.

Steve blinked his eyes at that. He thought Sarah would turn him down, saying she only saw him as a friend and nothing more, or something like they'd better be friends.

"What do you mean?" Steve asked confusedly.

"I can't explain it. It's too complicated," replied Sarah, who didn't want to explain her current situation.

After all, this wasn't something to be proud of, so she didn't want to say it.

Steve's face looked confused and wanted to demand an explanation, but he finally nodded his head, nodding in understanding.

It seemed Sarah was still thinking about the unconscious Mr Collins. He knew that their relationship was so close that it was Sarah who became the old man's guardian.

Did Sarah feel bad for Mr Collins to date the doctor who treated him?

In that case, even though Steve couldn't understand her, he would try to understand Sarah.

"Then… do you have the same feeling, it's just that the timing isn't right?" Steve asked again, just to be sure.

Sarah's face turned red when she heard that question. She didn't know if she loved Steve, but she felt comfortable and her heart was pounding because of him.

Steve's lips immediately formed a wide smile when he saw this. Even though Sarah didn't say it, it was obvious!

His love is not one sided!

Without waiting any longer, Steve's hand held Sarah's cheek and his face came closer and kissed Sarah's lips gently.

Sarah's eyes opened wide, not expecting Steve to kiss her again.

Steve immediately realized what he had just done, he once again acted without thinking.

However, just as he was about to break the kiss, he felt a hand touch his head and slightly push him closer, telling his head not to leave.

The next thing that surprised Steve, the soft lips that had been stay still, started to move and suck on his lips!
