- How much time do we have? - I asked apprehensively. - Two weeks, use this time to research and mainly put the ideas into practice to finally execute perfectly, I want a sketch for the next class, the canvases can't be medium size, our client wants something big and well done, the studio will be open until eleven o'clock at night, I may or may not be here, but the door will be locked at this time always if you finish earlier the keys will be on my desk bring them back the day before, you can start. - I said, leaving us alone in the room. - And then! I know it's every man for himself, but we can help each other. - I heard Kiana's voice just after Draven left us, I turned to her, to see her looking at us. - I agree, in the end who will stay or not, it makes no difference since the biggest gain is having learned from Lord Leblanc himself is already a gateway. - Brendon shrugged his shoulders, I thought for a moment, and they were right, having entered the studio already gave us a gate

I asked, finding the smell of the tea strange; it was sweet, but with a hint of bitterness, not bad. - This is lemon tea with honey. - He said, sitting next to me. I took another sip, feeling the citrus taste, it didn't even seem like there was lemon in there, the taste was great and made me feel warm and comfortable, I smiled in the process. - Looks like you like it, no need to worry anymore. - Draven said with a smile on his face, he seemed relieved to hear that. - Thank you, Mr. Leblanc, for bringing me home and making me some tea. - That was a side of him that the man had not shown me when we were in the restaurant that day, and it was incredibly charming. - If you really want to thank me, don't call me Mr. Leblanc, I'm not older than you, I'm just your boss and teacher. - I said, leaning my head on the arm and the backrest of the sofa. - But no... - The man interrupted me. - There's no such thing, look at me! I don't want to be treated like you, and that's the end of it. -

I put the cup close to my nose and the smell was indeed great, so following this reasoning, I took the first sip and was surprised when the taste invaded my mouth. - Wow, is this really good? Since I didn't taste any garlic, it's almost nonexistent! - I said foolishly, looking at him, the most present taste there was the honey and lemon with some ginger, Ethan smiled before speaking. - I told you it was good, now take it all, and it will make you better, unlike that other tea you had. - He said, rolling his eyes. "Tea? I had another tea? Ha! What Draven did to me, but how did he know? I wondered as I made a confused expression." - I saw it on the little table when I put it on the couch, I could smell it, it was very simple it wouldn't have much effect. - He spoke as if he had a lot of experience with teas and colds. - And how do you know all this? - I asked, curious about his behavior. - You're going to tell me that you also know how to cure colds. - I teased as I smiled and took

- I asked if you like pepper, I'm thinking of putting some on. - He now looked at me. - Yes, I do. - I said, still feeling embarrassed to look at him. - Great, then I'll put some on. - He said as he went back to making his soup. - B-can I ask you a question. COF! COF? - Something at that moment had crossed my mind, but I didn't know if it was right to say it. - Won't your girlfriend think it's bad to see you helping me? - Ethan even with the way he looked was not ugly at all, and I think he would have many women accept him as he is, the man is so good at everything, I heard the man cough still facing the sink. - Are you sick too? - I asked, believing that I shouldn't make him help me since I was also sick. - No, I'm not. - he said, clearing his throat. - But if you are, you better get some rest too. COF! COF. - I continued, innocently, to the man in front of me. - I'm not, I was just surprised by your question! - he said, turning to me. - Why was that? COF. - I asked confused,

Ethan left after dinner, and since I wasn't willing to stay up I went to bed early, my body was so sore and exhausted that as soon as I lay in bed and felt the warmth of the blanket I blacked out, I woke up feeling the sun on my face, but it was still cold and freezing, I wouldn't go to the studio that day since it was every other day, so I would have plenty of time to rest and start my sketch. - COF! COF! - I got up, still coughing but feeling my body less sore and warm, probably the fever had already gone down, I got out of bed and opened the rest of the curtain since there was only a small gap allowing the sun to shine through. Outside everything looked very wet, and the sky still had clouds, so it would probably rain that day, I went to the bathroom to wash my face and do everything that should be done, I didn't change my clothes since I would be at home and would still feel comfortable and warm with my pajamas, I went to the kitchen and started preparing my breakfast, opened the

It didn't take Ethan ten minutes to arrive at my house, where I was already waiting at the door with my arms outstretched, ready to take the little puppy from his arms, who started wagging his tail the instant he realized my presence. - Akira! Come here! Let me hug you! - I said, taking the animal in my arms and feeling its soft and smelly fur. - It seems he really likes you. - I heard Ethan speak in front of me. - I like him too, don't I, sweetie! - I said in a childish voice and put him next to my happy face. - Come on, let's go inside, it's cold out here! - I kept pulling on Ethan's arm, and he followed me, closing the door behind him. - Thanks for bringing him! I was feeling lonely in here! COF! COF! - I said sincerely, as I stroked the dog's head. - I understand, but you still don't look very well, have you really had any dinner yet? - He asked, while giving me a worried look, and probably seeing my red face. - That's true, but that doesn't mean I won't have dinner, I just

- I don't think so since you don't have points, but rather large spots on your eyes and body, let's see another one. - I said as I switched to the next photo. - Siberian Husky? Hum, I don't think so, your eyes aren't even clear, and you have more flowing fur. - I switched back to the next photo. - Mountain Bernese, of course not, this one also has brown on the muzzle. - I didn't even compare them, since they didn't look anything alike. - French Bulldog, tell me, do you speak French? - I asked, and he tilted his head to the side. - I don't think so, and you don't even look old, this one looks like an old man. - I said, turning the cell phone over and showing it to him, who looked at it and wagged his tail. - Do you agree with me? Well, let's move on. - I scrolled to the next picture. - Hm! Border collie, this one is very cute! He looks just like you! - I showed it to him and the puppy let out a very thin bark as if he agreed. - So we found out who you look like! - I said, looking

- So you had a good childhood. - Ethan spoke thoughtfully. - Did you? - I asked as I put the plate aside and paid attention to the man. - I think if we talk about this, it's going to get very awkward. - I nodded my head in agreement, not judging him for not wanting to talk about his childhood, I didn't want to get into that subject myself. - Good, then let's talk about something else, what do you do during the day? - I asked, now resting my head on the back of my hand on the table. - I guess it's not very interesting, I don't have many hobbies. - Ethan shrugged. - Oh, you sure do enjoy doing something, you're just trying to hide it. - I said, trying to encourage him, since I wanted to know more about the man, I wanted to get as much out of him as possible. - I like to read, to run in the morning aimlessly, to observe the landscape, to create something with my hands, I'm really not someone interesting. - He spoke a little discouraged. - You are not uninteresting, everyone has the

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

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

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

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
