Aiden visibly relaxed hearing Sage say that. He slumped back in his seat a little and exhaled gently. “Well, that’s a relief! For a moment there I thought you’d send me back to Suzdal. This day has been the most interesting one I’ve lived since coming to Russia. And you’re to thank for that. Feel free to hijack my computer any day,” he said with a laugh, “I hope Nox figures his shit out. I like boys and girls, myself. There’s something about other men that women just don’t have, though…” Aiden downed the last of his beer and paid the tab with his platinum card, asking the waitress to bag up the leftovers.
The woman came back within 2 minutes, holding 4 very large shopping bags stuffed with leftovers and styrofoam containers. Aiden stood from the table, grabbing the bags and handing her a very generous tip. Sage was still seated at the table. Aiden walked over to him, leaning down over Sage, their noses only an inch from each other. It looked like Aiden was going in to kiss Sage, but he stopped short. He enjoyed teasing.
“Of course it’s worth my time, handsome, you’re gonna be there aren’t you?” Aiden said, biting his lip in the process, “Ready to go?”
The pair left the Red Pit. Lasher’s head was still sticking out the window of Aiden's limo. The blonde haired dog perked up as Aiden made his way out of the BBQ hut. Lasher didn’t bark, he just started panting heavily (and knowing him, his tail was thrashing about, threatening to tear a hole in the upholstery.) Cooper quickly hopped out of the limo, rushing over to take the bags, Aiden thanking him in the process. After a few more words, Cooper put Lasher in his harness and then got back in the driver’s seat as Sage, Aiden, and Lasher made their way down the street.
There were a few dozen citizens walking up and down the street. Aiden looked about at all the different faces.
“Anyone at all?” Aiden asked Sage. He pointed to a random man about 2 blocks up. Aiden couldn’t see his face or any defining feature. True, Aiden didn’t know the man, so he couldn’t tell if Sage was lying about the ability or over-embellishing. It didn’t really matter though, he was with Sage and Sage was single.
All was right in the world.
For now.
