Our Story [MileBible]

chapter 4

BIBLE POV:-

Two days later, Johnathan was in Canada and kinn was all moved in, I'd watch the movers carry a giant flat screen Tv and boxes of various sizes into the house next door. The gallery close on Tuesday during the summer and I didn't had any shoot so I spent my afternoon baking my signature red velvet cake, I just finished packing it in a cute little box, shit, okay I was ready, I was
I shouldn't be nervous about bringing the man a cake, he was a human after all but a human nonetheless.
Plus he was supposed to look after me and he couldn't do it if he but my head off, could he?
With the assurance in my mind, I grabbed the cake, my keys, my phone and made my way to his house, I rang the doorbell trying to still my ramping heart. While I waited for kinn to answer. I wanted to chuck the basket on the first step and run away but that was a coward's way and I was no coward, most of the time, anyways.
A minute passed, I rang the bell again.
Finally, I heard the faint sound of foot steps, which grew louder until the door swung open and I found myself face to face with kinn. His eyes roved over my outfit. I was wearing a white shirt and brown jeans before settling on the basket. His expressions remained unreadable the entire time.
"They're for you" I shoved the basket towards him.
"A welcome to neighborhood gift?" He  said.
"Yep! Since you're new to our neighborhood" I sounded like an idiot
"Thank you"
I blinked and blinked again. Did
Kinn theerapanyakul just thank me?
I expected him to take the cookies and shut the door on my face he would never thank anyone for anything.
"Do you want to come in?"
JE IS INVITING ME INSIDE HIS HOUSE?! AM I DREAMING?!
I pinched myself, ow okay not a dream.
"Sure" I manage but hell! I was curious. I have never been inside kinn's house before. I was curious to see what he had done with Johnathan's place.
He moved just 2 days ago, I expected to see stray boxes lying about but everything was so polished and put together. It looked like he had been living here for years a sleek grey couch and eighty inch flat screen TV dominated the living room accented with a low, white lacquered coffee table. Industrial chic lamps and Johnathan's abstract painting. I glimpsed an espresso machine in the kitchen and a glass topped table with white furniture to speak of. It was drastic difference from Johnathan's messy but cozy collection of random books. Gym equipments and Items that he would collect from his travelling. Kinn placed the cake on the table and walked to the bar cart in the corner
"Drink?" He asked
"No thanks" I smiled as I sat on the couch unsure of what to do or say
He poured himself a glass of whiskey and sat opposite me but it wasn't far enough, u caught a whiff of his cologne. Something woodsy and expensive smelling with a hint of spice. It was so delicious that I wanted to bury my face in his neck
"Relax, I don't bite" he said dryly
"I'm relaxed"
"Your knuckles are white"
I glanced down and realized that I was clutching the edges of the couch so tightly that my knuckles I deed were, white.
"I like what you've done with the place.
"but no photos?"
" Why would I need photos? "
I couldn't tell if he was joking or not, but kinn don't joke though.
"from the memories"
"I don't need photos, the memories are here" kinn tapped the side of his forehead.
"everyone's memories fades but photos dont" atleast not digital one.
"not mine" he set his empty glass on the coffee table, his eyes dark
"I have a superior memory"
"Oh? What's it's like?"
"it's like watching a movie of your life play out before your eyes" he said quietly "sometimes it's drama and sometimes it's horror"
"no comedy or romance?"
I tried to joke. Until a car honked, a bead of swear trickled between my hands. And I saw his gaze dip to it before a humorless smile touched his face "go home bible, stay out of trouble"
It took me a minute to gather my wits and peel myself off the couch. Once I did. I all and bid our goodbyes and once I got out of his house, I was left on the edge, I was nervous
And yes a bit terrified.
But I also never felt so alive.
