Chapter 19

Freshia Ava's POV

The next day I moved into the exclusive apartment unit I had just rented. I deliberately only brought my personal belongings at that time because all the things I needed were already available in the apartment unit. That day, I was alone without Amara's company because she had to prepare a draft of her final assignment before she had tutoring tomorrow.

When I got there, I immediately sent a short message to Amara that I had arrived at my apartment unit and would arrange my clothes in the cupboard. Also tidied up my other belongings and arranged them on the furniture in the unit.

Two hours passed until I finished cleaning and tidying my things and the entire contents of the apartment. I decided to take a break and ordered a cake online via the food ordering application on my cell phone. Looks like I need sweet food to restore my energy after cleaning up my apartment unit.

Thirty minutes passed when the receptionist in the apartment lobby announced that my cake order had arrived. I immediately got up from my seat and left my unit to go downstairs to get my order. The regulations of the apartment I currently live in do not allow anyone to go up except residents or people who have obtained permission from the apartment owner and on condition that the unit owner himself picks up the guests.

Likewise the rules for receiving packages. Packages received and intended for use by apartment residents first go through a screening process in the lobby and if they are declared safe, the package will be stored in a special room, where the package owner will then take the package himself in that room. Including me, who is now heading to the room to pick up my cake order.

After getting my order, I rushed back to my unit. The elevator door I was on stopped on the ninth floor and when the elevator door opened, I saw a familiar figure standing in front of me.

"Eros?" My eyes widened completely when I saw the man I hadn't seen for several days. Like me, he looked surprised to find me in front of him. "You're going to use this elevator?" I said, still pressing the button to keep the elevator door open.

“I can come down later after talking to you. Come out here.” He then pulled my hand gently to get out of the elevator. “What are you doing here, Freshia?” He said again after I got out of the elevator and the elevator door closed.

“I just moved into this apartment unit, Eros. Then what are you doing here? Aren't you also supposed to be abroad?" I said while pointing to the apartment unit behind me.

“That means we'll be neighbors, since I live in the unit next to yours, Freshia.”

"Really?"

Eros laughed. “You're so cute.”

“I'm really surprised, Eros. First, at the last dinner, you said you were going abroad for two weeks. But instead, I met you here. Second, I just moved and it turns out you are my neighbor."

Eros laughed again. Makes me feel the vibrations I once felt when I was with him. My heart feels warm. "Firstly, it turns out that my business matters there have been completed more quickly so I can return here sooner than I expected. Second, I also don't know why the fate between us can be this funny."

Now it was my turn to laugh at his words. “Well then, I actually wanted to invite you to my moving-in celebration. However, the rules in the apartment unit I rented did not allow me to bring members of the opposite sex into the unit. So maybe I'll just give you a cookie instead.”

"Then, how about we celebrate in my apartment unit? Let me just do the cooking. I want to show my skills.”

I laughed again. "If you don't mind, I would be very grateful, Eros.”

“See you tonight at my unit, Freshia.”

That evening, at exactly seven o'clock I was in front of Eros' apartment unit and pressed the bell next to the door. Not long after, the door opened to reveal Eros, who still had his apron tied at his waist. He invited me to come inside.

The apartment unit room is exactly the same as the apartment unit I rented. He took me straight to the dining room where there was a dining table with a capacity for four people and there were already several dishes on it. Eros invited me to sit by pulling out a stool for me.

"Wait a minute, please. I'm still preparing the main dish. You drink this drink that I prepared first." He said as he handed me a glass of clear fizzy drink.

"Thank you, Eros."

Then not long after his busy schedule in the kitchen was over, he returned to the dining table with both hands holding two plates containing steak. He put one plate in front of me and another plate for him.

“Enjoy your appetite, Freshia.” He said then smiled at me.

Seeing his smile and everything he treated me made my heart beat fast. My cheeks felt warm when he didn't take his eyes off me. Am I allowed to feel this special feeling for him? Am I an equal to someone like him?

I thought to myself. The more I felt I had feelings for him, the greater the doubt and lack of self-confidence enveloped me. Besides, I'm afraid that I'm not the only one treated like this by him. Eros also never said anything about our relationship. It really makes me confused about where our relationship is at.

Eros Robinson's POV

George called me and told me that the plan to influence Freshia to move into the apartment I had prepared for him was successful. He said the woman was interested and asked for the apartment owner's contact number. I hung up the phone after thanking George and immediately contacted the person I sent who was posing as the person in charge of the apartment unit on this floor, both of which were mine.

I decided to make Freshia move to this apartment so that she would be closer to me and always under my supervision. I can't wait for that day to come and for that, I have to continue to be a good person so that I can have her heart and her body completely.

I had prepared the best possible scenario so that my meeting with her this time, where we ended up living next to each other, seemed very natural as a coincidence. I couldn't help but feel happy when I found that she was easy to persuade and slowly control.

Everything went smoothly until finally she volunteered to come into my apartment unit to eat with me. I felt like I wanted to scream because of the pleasure that was now welling up in my chest.

My smile didn't fade when I saw that my beloved woman was now in front of me and enjoying what I had prepared for her with a smile that she continued to frame on her proportional face. I was hypnotized by her because I couldn't look away from all her behavior that night.

“Freshia, do you like pets?” I asked to break the silence between us when the food on our respective plates had finished.

"It depends on what animal it is because there are some I don't like."

"What about rabbits?"

"Wow, it's a pity that people don't like such cute little furry animals."

"Then by chance, I keep a rabbit."

"May I see?"

I took her to the rabbit cage that I put in the corner of my television room. I left the cage open, only surrounded by enough barriers for her to jump here and there. Then there is a small house that I have also prepared inside the barrier for her.

"Very funny, Eros," Freshia said when she saw the white fur ball looking at us who were approaching her. "What's her name?" She said again while stroking the rabbit which suddenly fell silent under her hand.

"Her name is Freya."

Freshia immediately turned to me. “Sounds similar to my name,” she said. "Could it be that you deliberately gave her a name similar to mine, huh?”

Yes, because the innocent and innocent rabbit is a reflection of you, Freshia, I said to myself. I'm laughing. “You feel that way? Do I need to change the name?"

Now it was his turn to laugh. "No. I'm just kidding. That's up to you as the owner and my name is also a common name." She said then stroked Freya again.

Their characteristics are really very similar. Innocent, innocent, and funny. After that, you might also have the same fate. I said to myself.

After that, Freshia said goodbye and went back to her apartment unit and I took her to the front door, then made sure she went into her unit. After that, I closed the door and went to a room next to my room and then I opened the cupboard there.

Showing lots of photos of Freshia which I framed in white frames. Where the photos surround a silhouette that I frame measuring 40x60 centimeters. The silhouette depicts the woman I adore facing me with her body only wrapped in a red transparent cloth. A silhouette that always makes my heart beat fast and my lust peak.
