I remember when I got on that bus and watched the way through the window, the landscape as it passed by me, how my thoughts were sad and at the same time reflected my feelings, it was a mixture of joy and sadness for my past and my joy for the achievements, but at the same time an emptiness for not having anyone to share those small achievements was strange and liberating. But looking at it now I can't describe how happy I am with my achievements, how much my life has changed, meeting Ethan the love, or rather, what love is, he shows me every day what it is to love someone, how it is to live a life I never imagined having, and it seems that he also longed for it, the way he looks at me every day when he comes to pick me up, his hug and his breath on my neck, his lips on mine and how his hand caresses my head when we are together, he doesn't miss a single opportunity to hug me and tell me how much I am wanted and how much he loves me, maybe because it's the beginning of this relationsh
Ethan arrived at the studio at the usual time, with our faithful companion by his side, it was a good way for Akira to do physical exercises and have a good discipline, Ethan took care of him so well that it seems that he was realizing a great dream of having a pet since childhood, it was so cute to see them together, it transformed my night in so many ways, it was a great remedy for the tiring day. When we got home, and when I say home it's Ethan's house, I wasn't even sure how we had gotten to this stage, there were always clothes of mine and even feminine products, it seems that while I was at work Ethan bought something for me at the market, there was always something new. As soon as I showered I went downstairs, Ethan was already waiting for me with a huge pizza on the table, maybe it would be an exaggeration to call it huge, but for two people a medium pizza with cheese filling, and pepperoni on top is certainly a lot. - It seems that I will not be able to eat all of this. - I
The three of them had looks of doubt, but no words were spoken, and that was a very good thing indeed, I didn't want to have to explain anything that was going through their heads, I didn't want to give satisfaction just like I had done my whole life. Ethan moved back closer to my ear, making me shiver for a few seconds before whispering. - I'll be right back. - And soon I felt his lips on my ear, I nodded and watched him walk away, through the door and all the chaos of the entrance, walking the opposite way from when we arrived. - What are we going to do now? - Kiana broke the silence that had formed between us. - I guess just wait for the police, since we can't touch anything. - Brendon sighed at the end of the sentence. - Let's just get out of here, the police are almost here. - I said, turning around, walking away and shrugging. It took three minutes for the police to arrive, since the town was small, when they arrived we were already outside Ethan was still missing, but by hi
- Just a little, it was no big deal, I'm fine. - I smiled kindly, but his gaze didn't change, he just huffed, as I watched him wipe my blood with his cloth, I looked up only to notice Draven's gaze looked annoyed as he looked in our direction. I sighed loud enough for Ethan to hear, he looked at me doubtfully, which made me smile and tilt my head to the side with a tired look, he leaned down and kissed the top of my head, I smiled happily when he pulled away and glanced at Draven who looked away the next second. - And now? Did it get better? - I heard Ethan's voice, which made me answer him quickly with my head, I lifted my feet to reach his mouth giving him a quick kiss. - "Thank you. - - Ahem! - A wheezing sound was heard, making us look towards the window. - Can we continue? - Draven asked, and I heard Ethan snort and pat my shoulder before speaking. - Be careful. - His only comment after returning to his original place, I sighed too, and so we returned to our chores. There was
We were all anxious, I didn't want to admit it, but I had woken up before Ethan and even prepared our coffee, I was biting my nail with nervousness before I even arrived at the studio that morning, Ethan had left me at the door and went to the market, he said he wanted to shop, I wanted to go with him, but he didn't want to wait for me, he said he wanted to do something special for us that would be a surprise, but one of the reasons for my nervousness, I was sitting and one of the chairs in the corner of the room while we waited for the gentleman who would buy the painting to arrive, Kiana was equally nervous, and Brendon even showing a little nervousness was willing to calm his girlfriend, Draven was outside waiting for any sign of the buyer, and I believe he couldn't stand up either.- Ah, I can't wait that long, I'm going to finish my nails. - Kiana stood up, making me sigh loudly, being around equally nervous people affect you the same way, maybe it was normal.- He'll be here soo
It was like a dream being realized, Liliana was looking at me intently as if unlocking a memory, but I hoped not, because it would only show me that the woman before me was an equal, maybe I wouldn't win this competition, maybe I wouldn't be able to fulfill what I promised to Benny and Susan, but at least half of that dream and promise was being fulfilled before me at that very moment, when I finished my presentation, there was a minute of complete silence as if everyone was absorbing everything they had just heard.- It is really a difficult decision to make, all the paintings are unique and with distinct feelings, I would like to take them all. - Mr. Leonard was really dazzled by it all, he looked like a child looking at a candy stall, but he had his favorites, every child does, that's a fact.- Good father, let's not put this off any longer, just tell us which one you identified with the most. - Liliana hugged her father's arm as she looked at him in the corner.- Right, my daughte
I had been with this idea for a few days, I had put this desire in my heart, and I couldn't wait a second longer, and it would be on a perfect day, because I knew that Aya would win that contest of the paintings she was participating in, she had been talking about it for so long and when I saw her painting yesterday I was sure, it was incredible it seemed so real that I could feel the softness of the feathers in my hand, there was no way she wouldn't win.When I woke up I ran my hand over the bed looking for the woman next to me, but nothing, I opened my eyes, but nothing, she was not in the room, I scratched my eyes, and then I got up, without much to do, I made the bed and walked to the bathroom it seems that today she had decided to get up, but early, maybe she was very anxious, it would be understandable if she was, after using the bathroom I walked to the stairs, finally smelling the smell of pancakes that came from downstairs.And there she was, focused on not burning her breakf
I tried not to feel anxious as I watched the noodles cook, it was already getting dark, and nothing of her arriving, I felt lost without knowing what I should do, on the one hand I wanted to run from here now and look for her and on the other I believed that she was just celebrating with her friends and if I suddenly appeared in front of her I would look like a bossy boyfriend, but I was afraid that something bad was happening, I felt it in my chest, it was like I was underwater holding my breath to my limit, I didn't trust that man around Ayanne, not because I trusted her, I knew our relationship was precious to both of us, but Draven is a two-faced man.It's easy to be fooled by him, I've seen many women in that car, a pretty face, but everyone in this city knows he's a womanizer, they just don't care much, after all he's rich, money buys people, afraid he decides to go back to his cell phone.*If you need me, I'm here, if you're celebrating with your friends I can pick you up, but
Flora had said that Ethan would fall in love with me again, but at that moment, I was the one who had fallen in love for the second time. My heart was so warmed by her words that I didn't even notice when the priest was speaking, I could only hear him when he said it. - Please, the rings. - I didn't know who had given them to me, but when I looked across the yard and saw Akira walking in with a bow tie and a little basket in his mouth, my heart melted. He was coming towards us so calmly and elegantly that he didn't even look like a wiggling ball of fur. - You taught him that? - I looked incredulously at the man next to me, who smiled and shook his head. - That was our secret. - When the puppy arrived, Ethan signaled with his finger that he would automatically sit down without letting go of the mini basket. - Good boy! - Ethan stroked his head and I bent down to do the same while he picked up the basket. - Good boy! Akira! As soon as we had the rings in hand, we turned to each othe
In the past, for me life was just life, confusing right, I'll explain it better, for me life was just existing, not really having a meaning, something to believe in, people to care for and smile with, to cry with or just love, for me life was just a life, it had no shape and was colorless, I used paint to give color to a beautiful picture, but nothing painted my own life. Now it's different, my life has a meaning, and I discovered that as well as loving Ethan I could love a profession, which was to be a teacher, but to be specific a drawing teacher, and my first student was finally Megan, who was always happy in my classes, she was going to start studying next year, and she was so excited.Flora too, now she had more time to herself and could take care of herself a lot more, she had time to herself, and you know that day Draven didn't lie, it was true that Liliana wanted to buy my painting, days later she called me, she said it took her a while to find my number, but she got it from K
I remember as if it were yesterday, when we returned home that frightening night, I had a surprise that hurt my heart to know that I had lost, Ethan's house was impeccably clean, and the table was set like a romantic dinner, but when I learned that the pasta he had made was bad because it hadn't been taken out of the water he felt disappointed, and my heart broke seeing him in that state, I remember holding his face and looking deeply into his eyes, if that dinner was important to Ethan then we would make it happen.- Let's have dinner, what you've done, and I'll thank you with all my heart for it, what matters is that we're together Ethan Black. - I kissed his lips in the process, and when I pulled away I looked into his eyes again, looking for some sign of comfort.- But this dinner was for me to give him something important. - His eyebrows were still down and his gaze was on the floor.- So give it to me now, I can't wait, and I don't want to wait, but for this surprise. - I let go
The more time passed, the more anxious I felt, Akira was lying with his head on my legs while I stroked his head, I was sitting on the floor, looking where the headlights of the cars could illuminate, that's where Draven's car was parked, no sign of them and the people who were here I was told were paramedics for a possible serious injury, which terrified me, if they were there it was a sign that Ethan could get badly hurt, I didn't understand much about hospitals, health people or the police, only that Ethan talked about home, but he forgot to say about this part of people who ride in cars to help the injured. - Ma'am, please treat your injuries. - A woman in a similar police outfit with red symbols said the same thing for the fifth time, I shook my head again for the fifth time refusing, I wasn't hurt, I didn't feel anything, they needed to save things for Ethan if he needed them, which I hoped wouldn't happen.- Sir, we found them, over. - A muffled voice was heard, I looked aroun
I was ready to accept my death, or at least be in a coma, or all broken up, but nothing, absolutely none of that happened, I had my eyes closed when I felt my body hit something, and a familiar smell and the sound of loud breathing took over my senses, When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the surrounding darkness, then the white silhouette of Draven in the window I had just jumped out of, and finally Ethan's face, his eyes were pure terror and relief, he was holding me tightly, he looked afraid that he was going to lose me at any moment, and to be honest, I didn't think I would ever see him again.- Ethan? - My voice came out as a choked grunt, I still couldn't believe I was with him.- Thank God I was able to get there in time. - The tension in his voice was so worrying to hear, as if he was totally out of breath, like drowning. Without much to think about, I hugged his neck tightly, feeling our hearts racing in one rhythm.- It was Draven! He said that one of the people
I felt someone's arms around my waist, and it felt like gravity was wrong, my belly was pressed under a thin place like the banister of a staircase, it was strange, I never felt like this, my body moved as if it was upside down. Strangely I smelled an unpleasant smell like a very musty place, a suffocating smell, I felt my consciousness return little by little, I opened my eyes seeing something white still a little blurry, but a familiar smell invaded my memory it was the smell of Draven, his strong perfume was memorable, because it was very strong.- W-what? - I still hadn't understood where or what I was doing, it was dark, but there seemed to be light somewhere in the direction I was looking.- O-where am I? - I tried to move, but I felt the grip on my waist, but strong.- Calm down, honey, it's okay, but if you keep moving like that you'll fall. - Was Draven crazy? - What are you talking about? - I tried to hold on to his shirt.- My love, have you forgotten our appointment? - He
