Eternal love

Chapter 4

  To @tbh_jimmypage, because she said, she liked it :)

  She looked around. The flat was rather small, but very cosy, painted in different shades of blue. She stood in the middle of a little hall. There was a hanger on her left side and a tall mirror on her right.

-May I take your coat?- Bob asked softly.

She nodded and shook it off her shoulders. He hang it right next to his. They kicked off their shoes and he motioned for her to go further.

-Look around and I'll make us some tea- he said, walking into a kitchen, that was right in front of them. -The bathroom is on the left.

She turned left and walked into his bedroom. It was spacious, painted in baby blue. There stood a large double bed in the middle of the wall, opposite the door. There was a big window on the left and an old wardrobe, right next to it. She came up to the wimdow, delicately spread an azure blind and looked outside. The view wasn't breathtaking. She could only see a few roofs and a small, dingy backyard. Corrina turned around.

-"Where's that bathroom, Bob was talking about?"- she thought. -"Maybe it's over there?"

She crossed the room and stood in front of white door. She opened it and walked into a small bathroom. It was all tiled with white tiles. There was a shower on the left, a white washbasin, with a mirror hanging above it, right in front of her, a toilet and a few shelves, with cosmetics on them, on her right. She washed her hands and decided to look around a bit more. Leaving the bedroom, she glanced at the kitchen. It was rather small.

-"It must be well lit in the morning"- she thought, looking at a large window in front of her.

There, on the right, stood a biggish, old, oaken table, with four upholstered chairs. It looked rather funny, out of place. She giggled. Bob, who was standing next to a stove, on the left, turned around and looked at her. He smiled.

-What?- he glanced at the table. -It was here, when I moved in. The majority of the things here, were left by the previous owners. They wanted to sell it quickly, so it wasn't very expensive- he shrugged.

He turned, to face the stove and took a lemon out of a fridge, right next to him.

-Want some?

-Yeah, sure.

-Sugar?

-No, thanks.

He handed her a blue mug of hot tea and she laughed.

-What?- he asked confused. -Did I forget something?

-No, no- she laughed even more, at his adorable expession. -You really like blue, don't you?

-Oh!- he smiled, too. -Yeah, that's actually my favourite colour.

   They went to a living room, that was on the right of the front door. There stood three great, dark brown bookstands, that covered the whole wall opposite the door. They were all filled with books and records. On the left, there was another big window, with a large, brown, leather sofa and a rather small, rectangle coffee table, standing underneath it. Bob led her to the coach. She sat down and he crossed the room and came up to a radio, standing on the right of the door. He turned it on and found a radio station, that played old standards.

-You were great, today- he said, sitting next to her.

-Thank you- she blushed, sipping on her tea.

They sat in silence for a while, listening to a soft tune, coming from the old radio.

-Why do you still want to keep in touch with him?- Bob asked quietly.

Corrina nearly choked on her drink, but she managed to swallow the hot liquid. She coughed, tears blurring her vision for a few seconds. Bob took the mug from her hands and started to pat her on the back. He watched her with worry and concern in his eyes. She attempted to calm down a bit, by taking another sip of her tea. She took a deep breath and cleared her throat.
