As he woke up from his afternoon slumber, Build was feeling a little heavy on his head but the evening breeze was generous enough to touch his puffy face making him feel fresh. The touch was so soft, similar to how Bible gives him minor finger-tip touches while waking him up every morning. Recalling that and the letter Bible gave him yesterday he felt his heart flutter. Thinking about his husband's playful plan of celebrating their wedding anniversary for seven days he could not stop himself from smiling and getting up from the messy bed with half-falling bed sheets and pillows drifting apart one on the edge of the bed while the other rolled up in the sheets he reached out to the balcony and opened the curtains to get a peek at Bible's room. He was not very pleased that due to Bible's busy schedule he was getting habitual of sleeping alone and maybe was getting comfortable with it . Even in this new place he had a deep nap. But then he shrugged away the thought by convincing himself that Bible's presence nearby must have been the reason for it. On opening the curtain he couldn't see Bible in the room. So he decided to go downstairs and outside to look for him. He felt a different excitement as he didn't know how they were going to interact with each other. Was Bible going to be normal or was he going to behave like a stranger to him? Will he give up the idea of this little love game? He mostly got tired easily. His excitement always peaked at the very start, got moderated in between and then he would just lean on Build and they would snuggle up putting aside any activity that they had planned because Bible would start feeling the need of just cuddling Build. Although Build never complained about it because no couple activity felt better than just sitting quietly in each other's arms yet this time he wished Bible wouldn't give up on this idea because he wanted to have the best time with him here alone and away from the world of work and responsibilities. As he came downstairs he went towards the kitchen to find something to eat. He had yet not explored anything and he didn't know if the kitchen had anything at all.

" So many intercoms in this little house," Build said while looking at the intercom on the kitchen's wall and then flinched hard when it rang just that moment.

" oh my mother love" he spoke almost gibberish picking up the phone.

" Are you up from your nap Mr. Build?" and what could have been better for a dizzy head than to listen to his comfort voice. Build smiled. Bible was playing"

" I am sorry, who is this ?" he played along although he felt jitters in his stomach as if he would giggle any moment.


" Oh, and here I thought my voice is not the one to be forgotten so easily?" Bible said in a low and questioning tone and Build almost hitched on his breath. It was not just the impact of Bible's flirtatious tone but the fact that this was something Build had told him when they had talked on the phone for the first time back in their acting days. That night Bible had called him for the first time after their first meeting a week ago. So many years passed. To be precise exactly fourteen years yet the memory was so vivid in his mind. He remembered how hesitant they were in exchanging numbers and it was only due to the mediation of others that they could finally get each other's numbers. But it didn't turn fruitful until that night when Bible called him.

" Hi"

" Hi Bible'

"How did you know it's me?"

" Your voice is not the one to be forgotten so easily"

The embarrassing silence after that was loud. Build wanted to jump off the terrace while he couldn't have even guessed that Bible was blushing hard on the other side of the phone.
