Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 13

We come out of the bathroom to find Bronx watching TV in the sitting area. H e stands up when he hears the bathroom door open. When he turns around, he freezes.

 

"Oh my Goddess," he says under his breath. He gulps as he stares at me.

 

"She cleans up nice, huh?" Lenora smiles.

 

"Uh, yeah, I- uh, stun- that - I," he's not able to make a full sentence as he stares at me.

 

You know what, I'm just gonna go," Lenora says over my shoulder as she points to the door. She gives mea thumbs up and a wink as she leaves.

 

I stand where she left me, not sure what to do with my hands.

 

"Waannnaaa... watch TV with me?" Bronx points behind him at the television.

 

"Sure," I tentatively walk over to the sofa. He takes my hand causing little sparks where he touches me and gently pulls me down onto the seat next to him. “Is this okay? Sitting next to me like this? I should've asked first.”

 

“Yeah, it's fine," I feel myself blushing. "What do you like to watch?”

 

"T don't know. I've never had time to watch television."

 

"Oh, right. Okay, um, what are your hobbies? What do you do in your free time?"

 

"Hmmm, homework and mental breakdowns." :

 

"Oh crap, I'm sorry, Ididn-"' :

 

"It's okay, Bronx. I'm teasing you. I mean honestly though, all I know about i s cooking, baking, and stocking pantries...and homework," I look at him from the side of my eye with a smirk on my face.

 

"Okay, smart aleck. Cooking and baking. I can work with that. We have like three cooking channels," he flips the station t o a cooking competition show called Chopped.

 

The chefs are given boxes of ingredients. They don't know what's inside until the timer starts and they have to make up a meal using all the ingredients. Bronx gets up to make popcorn as I describe what I would make with the ingredients for each course. By the time we're on the third episode, I think I'm addicted. The dessert rounds are my favorite.

For every store we go into, they make me try on countless outfits and dresses, even evening gowns. When will I ever really need an evening gown? We buy almost everything I try on, even though I insist I don't need it. I was just hoping to get out of there with a couple pairs of leggings, a few t- shirts,
