Chapter 0487 “Hi, Calvin,” her cheery voice pulls me from my thoughts.
| smile and stand up. | give her a hug and then peck her rosy cheeks.
I met Kinley by chance at a convention ; building and construction convention. She's an architect. We just clicked in a way | never saw coming. Her witty and charming ways drew me in the moment she sat down beside me.
She was bold when she asked for my number after the convention was over. | was still trying to heal from cutting off Emma from my life, but for some reason | ended up typing in my number on her phone.

I smile before taking my own seat, “Not at all,” “First of all, how is Gunner?” she asks, leaning forward, adoration in her gaze. “I miss him so
much!” We started out as friends. Texting once in a while. She would send me random funny videos that would always put a smile on my face. Our chats were simple and mainly consisted of checking up on the other.
Slowly we graduated to something more. The text messages happened each day instead of just a few days a week. Then we graduatedto calls... and before | knew it; we were meeting up for lunch dates. Platonic lunch dates.
It was easy being around her. | felt free. | felt like | could be myself around her. In her presence, | felt at peace. | didn’t have to worry about whether she was thinking of another man like Emma. | didn’t have to worry whether she was comparing me to the love of her life. | didn’t have to hide being with her.
| loved being around her and when | was around her, | didn't have to think about my pain or heart break. | didn't have to think about Emma.
I've only ever loved one woman, but given
time, | could see myself loving Kinley. She was warm and the complete opposite of Emma.
None of us had broached the subject, but there was something that drew me to her.
Sometimes | think she wants more... And there are times | think 1 want more, but | hold back because | don’t want to give her false hope until I'm sure she’s the one | want. | don’t want to string her along like Emma did to me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Calvin?” “Sorry, | am a bit distracted today,” | mumble before pulling myself together. “Gunner is doing great. He was actually asking about you the other day.” The day | caught Emma spying on us at the restaurant was the first day | introduced Gunner to Kinley. They immediately took to each other like fish to water. It was amazing to watch because Gunner isn't always open to other people.
“We should plan a trip to the amusement park!” she gushes, her voice brimming with excitement,
| just stare at her beautiful face. Her green eyes were shining in pure happiness. Joy was literally radiating off from her. | could feel it as it drove my darkness away.
“He'd love that,” | whisper still captivated by the woman sitting before me.
Our waiter arrives and we order. She fills me in on how her day has been. Kinley is a chatter box, but I don’t mind. | don’t mind it at all. | love listening to her voice because she talks so passionately that she pulls you in.
Just like always, she manages to make me forget all about Emma for the rest of our lunch together. By the time we were leaving, | felt lighter and it felt fucking amazing.
As | kissed her cheek and said goodbye, | couldn't help but wonder what it would be like, feel like, if | fell in love with her.
