Chapter 15

Pulling up to King’s lavish home, it is amazing and not at all what I expected him to live in. I thought his house would be modern with all sorts of angled roofs and lots of glass, but this is the complete opposite. He puts his car in park as I gaze out at the six carved pillars that hold up the two-story marble fortress. They look like they are dubbed from the White House and I say, “Do you just park right here?”

“Yeah,” he responds with a grin on his face. “Where else would I park?”

Still ogling his massive Old World home that is a stone’s throw away from me, I tell him, “I don’t know…a garage?”

“It’s a farther walk and you’re sore from work.”

“You know…you really do have a nice side to you; you should show it more often.”

He rolls his eyes and says, “Nah, I really don’t.” Then he gets out of the car and helps me out. Standing with him, we admire his home and I ask him, “Did you design this?”

“I wish. I restored it. It was pretty run down when I bought it.”

“What was it originally used for?” I ask craning my neck as my eyes explore the stunning exterior.

“It was used by an old safe deposit box company in the 1800’s. It opened about a hundred and fifty years ago. It was one of the first.”

“Shut up.”

“No joke, there are still boxes inside. I’ll show you.”

He reaches down and grabs my hand, which I happily take, loving the way our fingers feel locked together. He unlocks the front door using a keypad and says to me, “The code is 5379, if you ever need it.”

I smirk as we walk in. “That doesn’t mean you’re getting the key to my place back.”

Kissing my cheek, he tells me, “Don’t worry, I have plenty of spares to your house.”

“King,” I yell and hit his shoulder, but the moment we make it through his foyer and into the main part of his home, I stop my rant. Enjoying the beauty of this amazing space. Everything about it is perfect.

The floor is as it was a hundred years ago, the walls, even his decorating all blend in, and as I turn to him, he asks me, “Do you like it?”

“Did you do all this yourself?”

“Yeah, this is what I do, Ever.”

Closing my eyes, I can imagine how it was back in the day. But King pulls me out of my trance, taking me from room to room to room. And as we stand in the middle of his bedroom, I want him so badly.

But he keeps showing me more. I can see now firsthand why he has been named a genius in the architectural world. His work is breathtaking and hearing him talk about it shows me how passionate he is about everything. Opening a set of French doors that line the east side of his room, he steps out onto a huge rooftop deck. “Now, this I added,” he says and the breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean are something out of a movie.
