Upon Meeting You

29

This is a shorter chapter than usual but i just wanted to hurry up and post.

If i didn't then there wouldn't be anything up for a while lmfao.

Warning! There's spice but no smut😔👍

maybe soon idk.

"Turn left right here." I say as we near a stop sign. "It's that one." I point to my home. Kendric slows the vehicle, pulling into the driveway.

"Here, I'll walk you to your door." He jumps out of the car and walks around to open my door. He lifts his hand, helping me out.

"Thank you." I smile sweetly. He follows closely behind me as I walk up the steps to my front porch. I take out my keys and begin unlocking the front door before turning to face him.

"It was lovely getting to talk to you." He speaks up, smiling shyly.

"You too..." I smile back. We stare for a small moment in silence. "I know tomorrow's a Monday and I've got work, but do you want to come in for a bit? It is only 9:50." He looks at the door for a moment, hesitant.

"...Yes. I'd like that a lot."

"Okay..." I push the door open, allowing him into the house. "I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to wash this makeup off of me real quick... I'd hate to turn my couches blue."

"Oh of course... Not at all. I'll be here." He chuckles.

"Great..." I smile. "Do you want me to bring you some makeup wipes or something in the meantime?" I motion to his face and the fact that he is still wearing face paint.

"Please." He chuckles. I go to my room and grab a pack of makeup wipes off of my desk. I return to the living room with them in hand and place them on the coffee table.

"Here you are... I'll be back in about five minutes."

"Thank you." He reaches towards the pack.

I turn around and make my leave. As soon as I enter my room I rush around, hastily removing my dress as I turn the knob for the shower. I begin removing my clothes as the water warms up and proceed to enter the shower. I move as fast as I possibly can washing the blue spray and makeup from my hair and face. I finish quickly and exit the shower, wrapping a towel around my hair and I search for clothes. I throw on a loose pair of joggers along with a black t-shirt. I toss the towel from my hair over the rail on the bathroom wall and run a brush through my brown locks. I toss it onto my bed as I leave the room.

When I enter the living room I find Kendric delicately walking around the room, analyzing the photos on my wall. He turns upon hearing my arrival and for the first time I can see his natural face without the pale appearing Halloween makeup.

"Wow." We murmur in unison. I clasp my hand over my mouth in attempt to mask my laughter but fail when I see him grin cheekily.

"How did I do on the time?" I change the subject. He checks his watch.

"You're about 3 minutes late."

"Damn. I really thought I had it."

"It was a close one I must say." He responds. I let out a soft chuckle and walk closer to where he's standing.

"That's my brother, Goren, in case you were wondering." I refer to the picture he was staring at before I entered the room. "I'm only 24. I don't have any children that you should know about." I joke.

"You're 24?" He questions earnestly. "Mhm. Just turned a few months ago. Around the end of July. What about you?"

"35. Soon to be 36 in January." He responds.
