- 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

- Please take me to Mr. Leblanc's art studio downtown, thank you! - I informed him, putting the food back in my mouth. - Very well, feel comfortable that the trip will be very fast! - He warned, already starting the car. I was really thankful to meet Mr. Joseph, he was such a kind and sweet man, his wife was very lucky to have such a kind husband, while the man was driving he divided his attention to the steering wheel and keeping a nice conversation, telling me about how his wife cooked delicious meals and how beautiful and happy their children were, listening to him made me feel immense desire to meet his family, but I know that it wouldn't be like that, after all no one would like to have in their home a woman they barely knew. When we arrived in front of the studio, Mr. Joseph stopped the car and I paid him the cost of the ride, we wished him a great day and said goodbye, I walked through the door of the studio smiling without noticing that Draven was beside the door. - I believ

- And I chose the image of a woman to represent the delicacy and subtlety that even if she has an unhappy feeling, she is still beautiful and delicate as she should be. - I finally finished speaking by explaining everything I wanted to get across with my sketch. - I don't think I have much to say. - Draven spoke up after a while, making me worried. - Kaina and Brendon, tell me what you think? I would like to hear your opinions. - My professor is the boss asked, and this made me very anxious, I looked at my classmates expectantly and saw Brendon raising his hand. - You may speak. - Draven read him the liberty. - The feeling that the sketch is bringing is indeed a very heavy feeling, but the three elements together brought a lightness and strength, I particularly liked the idea. - He spoke simply to make me smile. - Thank you! - I thanked him as soon as the man looked at me giving me a simple nod, I looked at the other woman there besides me, waiting for her to speak. - Kaina. - Th

In the end when we started to drink we became looser and started an animated conversation, besides that glass I took maybe two more, I had really enjoyed that even though I felt my head was spinning, I was excited and when the music started to play louder encouraging people to dance I didn't hesitate when my friend pulled me to the small dance floor we danced excitedly when two guys started touching us making me very uncomfortable. - Hey! Get-tt out of he-re! - My drunken, slurred voice didn't make the two men leave. - Come on, cutie, let's have some fun! - I pushed him closer, and saw Draven and Brendon coming to our rescue, and pulled Kaina past the men. - Hey, come back here, little flower. - The tall, bearded, bald man in a leather jacket held up my hand. - Hey ma-ne, let-t her go! - Kaina said, raising her arms in irritation even though she was drunk, the man didn't obey and just smiled as his friend came toward us. - Let's let them go, I don't think you want to fight here! -

- Blargh! Blargh!! - And all the contents of my stomach ended up on my sidewalk. - I don't think I'm feeling well. - I mumbled, feeling the urge to vomit again. - Happy now! - I heard Draven arguing with my neighbor, as I felt the alcohol diminish and give me more logical thinking and, of course, more craving to be in the middle of it all. - I guess it's your fault, you're the one who took her. - Ethan spoke calmly as he held my hair back so as not to get it messy, and I'd sure thank him if I wasn't busy bending over and feeling, but wanting to get it all out. - Give me my purse. - I asked, lifting my change and extending my hand to Draven, who as soon as he heard me gave it back. - Come on, I'll take you home. - He said, pulling me. - No need, I'm already home. - I answered letting go and leaving the two men behind, while I staggered towards my door seeing everything spinning and feeling terrible, I certainly wouldn't do that again ever. When I reached my door for what seemed l

Since the same opened his door and looked at me attentively as if he was analyzing me thoroughly, I said goodbye greeting him and was ready to start walking towards the center, but then I heard his voice. - Wait! - His voice automatically made me stop on the sidewalk to his house, when I heard him approaching I turned my body and smiled bitterly and scared to death with sweaty hands. - Good morning, Mr. Black. - I greeted him with a bitter taste in my mouth. - Are you okay? He asked already in front of me, I swallowed dry, because there I knew that the man had with all the certainty of the world seen me yesterday. - Yes, fine! Is there a problem, Mr. Black? - I said, drying my hand on my pants, distressed and ashamed to be in front of him. - Well, none, but... - I cut him off, afraid to hear what I was already imagining. - Oh, good! So I'm a little late, but we can talk tonight in a little more calm! - I said starting to walk while the man looked at me confused, I gave him no cha

When Brendon arrived Draven entered together in the room, Kiana made a face as if nothing had happened, but I knew that inside the woman must be biting with nervousness and shame even if it seems that she has not done anything compromising enough, well I tried to follow equally since I did not want to get into the subject. - Well since you are all here, I will show you the paintings we have as I said before it can't be a small painting, our client likes big things. - Draven explained as he went to the back of the room, taking us along. - These are the sizes 120CMX80cm and 150CMX100cm. - Draven removed a cloth that covered them, so they wouldn't get dust, there were many and those were the biggest, they were practically my size, which was one and sixty, if I chose the biggest I would certainly have difficulties, but if it wasn't for challenges I would rather still be working in the cafeteria. - You can choose what you need. - My teacher gave me the floor, Kiana and Brendon were undec

- Huum! This is so tasty! - kiana caught my attention, it was funny how comfortable the woman felt around the two men, it reminded me of the dinner at home prepared by Flora and Megan, I remember that I had been very comfortable around Ethan, in fact, since I met them I had felt more comfortable as I got to know them. - Glad you like it, so tell me how you are doing? - Draven asked as he glanced superficially at the paintings, and waited for the first to respond. - I haven't had any problems yet. - Brendon replied when he saw that the woman had her mouth full. - That is good, after all it is in the sketch that the art begins to create life, even if it is not a great sketch it is still necessary to pay attention to the proportions, after all it will be your guideline for a great drawing. - Every time Draven said something he managed to bring along some remarks, it was great to see a professional like the incredible Mr. Leblanc talking and teaching us, after all the man had already wo

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
