- 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

I said goodbye to both of them and walked back home, the sky was already darkening, and the streets lost their movement, the weather was cool, and the walk home would be quiet, as I walked, I could hear footsteps behind me, I took a quick look but saw absolutely nothing, I thought it was something in my head, so I started walking again. "Sounds like you're going crazy, it's been a hectic day today. I shook my head and took a deep breath and kept walking.” Suddenly I heard the sound of footsteps again, I looked back again, but there was nothing, I was half way there, so there were more houses than other things related to commerce, I started walking again, but faster than usual, I stopped hearing them, so I was calmer, maybe it was an animal, or a child who knows. When I got home the sky was already completely dark, I looked quickly at Flora's house, it had been a few days since dinner, "Maybe I should take a look at her. As I was in front of her house and saw the lights on I was goin

- Easy, pet! Calm down, look how skinny I am, I don't taste good! - I might be sounding crazy, but I was really panicking, my heart was beating so loud I could hear it in my ear, the time it took me to reach the height of the key on the hook was the most difficult and traumatizing thing I picked up the key with trembling hands while interchanging my gaze between the animal and trying to hit the small end of the key in the damn keyhole, While I was trying the animal that was standing bent down, and I heard it dragging some iron thing that had fallen, that was my moment I looked at the lock and hit the key turning it once and opening the door at the same time I heard the animal running after me. - Argh! - I grunted as I slammed the door and heard the animal slam the door with a hollow noise, maybe I should have let the animal out, but how? If I was the one outside now. - Crrr! Ruuu! - I let go of the door when I heard the animal scratching at it, I looked around not knowing what to do.

We took our first steps back, the bear in front of us was still watching us, circling and making his noises, when we passed the open door I put my free hand down and took the handle slowly, and as we walked backwards I brought the door along with me, when we were farther away and closer to being inside the house Ethan let go of my hand and took the handle and closed it while he himself put me behind his body, I confess that I had never seen a black bear in front of me in my entire life and those seconds or minutes were the scariest possible, while Ethan was holding the door I went to look in the next window, watching the animal sniff the air and move away, I sighed with relief when I saw the animal leave my yard and disappear down the right side of the street. - He's gone! - As soon as Ethan heard it, he let go of the door, his face looking equally relieved. - Were you hurt? - He came toward me with a worried look on his face, causing me to quickly examine my body. - No, I'm fine. -

When I woke up at the insistence of the alarm I still felt tired, but I didn't protest getting up, I needed to go back to the studio to finish that artwork, which in the case would be to start since I hadn't even given the first hand of paint, I went first to the closet and got a pair of black jeans ripped on the thigh and a sweatshirt that had a social collar it was in black and the sleeve and the collar were white, I took everything I needed to the bathroom and took a shower to wake up my tired body, as soon as I finished showering, dried and dressed myself, took a good look at my hair that was in a mess, combed it with all the hate for the day and night of yesterday and put it in a loose bun with some strands falling on my face, I put on some light makeup to hide how tired and pale I was and left the bathroom, went to the kitchen and made some coffee, without caring much for the mess that was still there, I grabbed some cookies from the cabinet and as soon as the coffee was ready I

My heart was beating so fast I was afraid Draven might hear it, I could feel his breath on my face, and only at that moment I could clearly see our size difference, the man was not muscular, but he was tall and had a great physique, his perfume invaded my nostrils, the closer he came, the more I felt the butterflies in my stomach and a knot in my head. - Why don't we go on a date? - His smile seemed mischievous, and he seemed to enjoy playing with me. - A-a date? - I asked, confused. - Why was that going on in your head! - His tone of voice turned mischievous, which made me die of embarrassment right then and there. - Ha! Ha! Ha! Okay, okay, you found it! - I smiled nervously, not sure what to answer. "What were you thinking, Ayanne?! Draven must surely think you're crazy now! My mind hammered me and I literally bit myself on the inside, nervous at the chance." - Yes, let's go on a date. - He reinforced the request, but before I could think much I heard the door being opened, mak

When I started painting, I put every feeling that had that black, it was even funny when you take something pure like white and dirty it with black, white represents so many happy feelings, like peace, the will to live, purity, when a bride puts white on her wedding day she is showing how pure she is for her husband, not that this is something bad, to give yourself body and soul to a single person must be the most wonderful thing in the world, and this is what white represents, but black, the darkest tone, the color that prevents you from seeing further, the color of sadness, of death, the color that makes you sad, even if the color has not existed for this is still how it will be transmitted because the human being created it this way, marked it this way, was not on purpose after all who does not like to look at that dark sky painted with small bright points. Tell me how many people prefer to live in the black? Not being able to see beyond that color, not being able to smile because

After lunch, which in this case was a snack, we went back to the studio, in the cafeteria we just chatted away, nothing very important really happened, not that it was a banal moment or anything like that, we have to accept that life will not always bring us unforgettable moments like a simple trip to a restaurant, and you end up meeting your soul mate, life does bring us many surprises, of course, but I have to accept that even things as monotonous as a simple conversation in a cafeteria are something to feel happy and grateful for, after all, already being alive is something to celebrate, maybe it seems like I'm a fool to think so, but when you are someone who has experienced the dark side of life and managed to get out of this you already have reason to thank, when we returned to the studio the paint had dried in most of what was needed, I chose the various shades of brown to start with the outline of the body, perhaps it is not a rule you just start from where you want, there are t

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
