Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future by Neener Beener chapter 13

We come out of the bathroom to find Bronx

watching TV in the sitting area. He 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 me a 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?“

“I 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, I didn’t “

” It’s okay, Bronx. I’m teasing you. I mean honestly though, all I know about is 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 to 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.

“Kas, were you the one who made dinner for the formal party at Silver Moon? The first night I was there, ” he asks with an air of sudden realization.

“Yeah, I made breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day at Silver Moon. Did you like the beef Wellington at the party?”
