Chapter 272 - Sarah visits JoAnna (3)

JoAnna and Sarah finished preparing dinner and kept the dishes in the oven on warm. Jeff and Aiden still didn't arrive, so sisters decided to play another game of pool while they wait.

"You know, this is a great place to show... affection." Sarah said as she looked at the pool table.

"Huh?" JoAnna didn't get Sarah's point.

"Let me show you... take the aim as if you want to put the stripped 10 to the corner pocket." Sarah instructed.

JoAnna leaned over the table and held her cue stick to aim at the white ball.

Sarah leaned above her as if she is helping her take aim, their bodies touched.

"What do you think?" Sarah asked with enthusiasm.

"Besides you being heavy, nothing much.", JoAnna responded while rolling her eyes.

"Ah... the person is wrong. Close your eyes and imagine that it's Jeff.", Sarah giggled.

JoAnna closed her eyes and in few seconds her cheeks blushed.

Sarah moved to the side and observed changes in JoAnna's expression. "See?" She asked with glee.

JoAnna opened her eyes and nodded. She was getting ideas that made her heart race. 'This Sarah is making my mind corrupt!'

"When did you become this shameful?", JoAnna scolded her.

"Why shameful?", Sarah pouted. "I'm just more imaginative than you…" Sarah giggled while looking at the pool table. "This is such a great thing... I think I should get one for our place also."

JoAnna rolled her eyes in response while thinking how her baby sister is corrupted. "Aiden is not a good influence."

"Hey! Leave him out of this!", Sarah objected.

"How can I? Do you want to say that six months ago, before you met him, you would have these kinds of ideas?"

"True…" Sarah had to admit. "But I would not call it a bad influence… I would rather say that he broadened my horizons." She grinned shamelessly.

"All joking aside…", Sarah continued. "Before he came into my life, I thought that love, relationships, caring for someone until your heart feels like exploding… I thought that all that is not relevant in life. It's something that gets in the way. And now that he is part of my life, I don't remember how was I happy without him. Nothing makes sense if he is not around… and if he is with me, even the most boring things become enjoyable."

JoAnna listened to Sarah and nodded. "And I remember that recently you told me that your world revolves around him and that I will understand that when I fall in love. I didn't believe you then. But now… I must admit that I can't imagine a happy ending if Jeff is not part of my life."

Soon after, Jeff and Aiden arrived. They were setting up the table in the dining room when Sarah's and Aiden's phone signaled new text message at the same time. Sarah and Aiden checked their phones, glanced at each other, nodded, and texted short replies.

"What is that?", JoAnna asked.

"Sophia is confirming that we are set for tomorrow." Sarah explained.

"So, it's starting..." JoAnna was getting nervous.

Sarah smiled. "Yes, tomorrow evening we will empty Greg's offshore accounts. Day after tomorrow is Friday, Sophia will file her lawsuit in the morning. By end of day, Greg should be off the streets, unable to pay his bail."

"Where will you put the money?" JoAnna didn't know what they plan to do with the money they take. 'They don't want to keep it, right?'

"We have selected three non-profits who fight to prevent violence and exploitation of women. Greg's money will be divided between them as anonymous donations." Hearing Sarah say this, JoAnna was at ease and went to the kitchen to help Jeff who was getting dishes from the oven.

Jeff saw JoAnna coming. "Smells nice." He inhaled scent from the oven.

"You smell better." JoAnna was walking toward him, not able to take her eyes off from him.

Jeff pulled JoAnna closer, and with ease lifted her and placed to sit on the kitchen counter. "I missed you.", Jeff mumbled as he dived in for a deep kiss. JoAnna got her fingers in his hair and returned his kisses passionately.

Sarah was about to get into the kitchen to help out and stood frozen at the door unable to stop herself from staring at Jeff and JoAnna who passionately kissed. 'Is this really the always-so-stiff Jeff?' Sarah turned toward Aiden and said in a quiet voice. "I think we should leave now."

"Leave? We didn't eat yet!" He objected with passion only he can show in anticipation of a good meal. Aiden noticed that Sarah is looking toward the kitchen and walked over to see what got her attention. Seeing his brother and JoAnna kissing, gave him the idea. Aiden whispered in Sarah's ear, "How about I show you my old room?"

Sarah rolled her eyes while thinking, 'Sure… there is one thing that takes priority over food for you!' Then she shook her head vigorously and whispered back. "Shameless!" She glanced back to the kitchen and observed that Jeff's hands are under JoAnna's top, unbuttoning her bra!

Sarah cleared her throat, "Excuse us... we should eat."

JoAnna heard Sarah and moved her head slightly to break the kiss. She was running out of breath, and told Jeff, "We should eat... first."

He nodded in agreement and gave her few more quick kisses before helping her off from the kitchen counter.

During dinner, Sarah noticed that Jeff and JoAnna are holding hands under the table most of the time while exchanging glances which unmistakably showed desire for privacy. Sarah nudged Aiden, and whispered, "Come on... we should leave."

Aiden guessed Sarah's intention, but he liked the food, and he was hungry. Thinking of leaving without filling up his stomach, made him frustrated. Aiden took a deep breath, and frowned at Jeff, "If you want some privacy, go to your room and close the doors. I'm leaving when I finish eating."

Sarah facepalmed, and JoAnna blushed.

Jeff looked at Aiden and Sarah with serious expression for a second. "Excuse us."

Jeff reached out to JoAnna and lifted her up ignoring her obvious shock. He placed her over his shoulder, as if she is a sack of potatoes and carried her to the bedroom.

Door slammed shut behind them.
