Chapter 35

Yan sits between the two of us and I can't tell you how cold I feel in my stomach when I smell his perfume so close to me.

I swear I'm trying not to grab him right here. I feel desperate for his touch and the way he is holding the drinking glass and running his finger over the rim slowly is not doing much for me to keep my sanity.

I ask to divert my dirty thoughts regarding the two of us and a bed:

''So, have you known each other for a long time?''

Yan looks at me.

Damn, he's too close.

I look away from him to Sarah.

She seems to love the question and holds Yan's arm answering:

''No, a month or so ago we were at a bar. He was sitting across from me, as we are now. He seemed upset about something so I decided to ask if everything was okay.''

I take a deep breath. Sarah smiles and continues:

''I decided it would be worthwhile to stay and chat and try to cheer him up a little.''

They kiss again. I think I'm going to have to take several deep breaths today.
