27 Can I Be Your Real Son? (1/2)
Knock! Knock!
Chase knocking on Violet's apartment door.
”Who is it?” she shout from inside the house.
”It's me. Your neighbor.” Chase said.
A moment after, Violet open the door and look at him with a question look.
”Yes?” she ask him.
”May I use your balcony? My keys inside the house, and I was locked from outside.” he look at her eyes and down to her collarbone.
She was just finish her shower, her hair was still dripping wet, her bare face look beautiful, even without make up on it, she still look so innocent.
”Er..Yeah..come in.” she open her door and step aside to let him get inside.
Chase scan her apartment with a glance. It was simple and cozy. Fit for her who live alone.
He then went to her balcony and look at the side. His balcony three feet from her, it's mean he need to jump a little to his balcony.
He stand on the steel railing and try to balance his body.
”Woa Chase! don't jump. I can call the locksmith for you.” she offer. Her heart beat faster when seeing Chase ready to jump.
”It's okay. It's not that far.” he said and jump to his balcony making Violet scream a bit.
”Ahh!” she cover her ears with both of her hands.
”See..I'm safe.” he chuckles when seeing Violet turns reddish.
Maybe she was shy or maybe she was angry? He couldn't read her face expression.
”Hey Vi, wanna come in and watch a movie at my place?” he ask her from the balcony.
”What?” she said in disbelief tone.
”Come over, I'm sorry that I scared you. I won't do anything to you too. Come on.” he state and Violet nod after a long silence.
”I'll change my attire first.”
”No need. Your pajamas not sexy at all.” he replied to her making her face turn even more red.
She went inside and wear her cardigan before she go to his apartment. Since tomorrow is Sunday, so it'll be okay for her to stay up a bit late.
A few second after she knock, Chase open the door and invite her in.
She was a bit surprised by the look inside his apartment. It's look…organize.
Well, knowing how Chase who love to read and spend his day doing nothing but reading, she could guess that he is someone who is like everything to be organized and perfect.
She then sit at his leather couch. Chase went to his room and bring her some wool blanket.
”Here.” he handing her the blanket.
”Thanks.”
He then walk to the kitchen counter and bring a bowl of popcorn and two bottle of coke.
Turn on the flat screen hanging on the wall, he choose an action movie.
”Do you watch this genre?” he asked.
Violet nod and said ”Yeah, I'm not a choosy.”
”Alright! Saving private Ryan it is.”
They watched the movie together.
Until the middle of it, Violet suddenly ask him.
”Chase, what did you do for living? I mean, you look like you're someone rich.” her eyes still focus on the screen.
”I'm saving lives.” he replied casually.
Upon hear 'saving lives', the first thought that she have is a cop and the second is the soldier. Is it because she is now watching this movie that effecting her thought?
”Hmm..why do I always see you in the cafe? I mean you always there like…everyday..” she continue again.
”That's because my line of work does not require me to stay inside.”
The first word that she had in her mind is 'Detective?' she squint her eyes a bit and tilt her head a little.
