It was hard for Ethan to leave me home alone, in fact, I didn't want to stay either, but I had no choice I couldn't disturb the man anymore, it wouldn't be fair even if he insisted it wasn't true it still seemed wrong, when he left taking Akira I didn't wait long and unconsciously put one of the stools against the door since they had a backrest it could be very firm there, I closed all my curtains at least the windows that have them, could it be my paranoia? Yes, for sure, but I was doing that just to prepare myself for something that wouldn't happen, after all Ethan was at home, and he could defend me. I walked to the hallway and did the same with my studio door, I locked it tightly as I didn't want any unnecessary risk, at least until I felt safe again, finally I walked to my room as soon as I entered I closed the door walked to the closet and grabbed a set of pajamas, I was pretty sure I was full of clothes to wash, and I should do that tomorrow without fail at least after I got ho

*So it's good that you haven't yet, I'll bring it to you, wait, actually, we'll bring it to you.* The man emphasized the let's go, which meant Akira was coming along. *So I'm waiting." I walked to the door taking off the stool and grabbing the keys from the hook, unlocked the door and opened it, seeing the man walk out of his house with Akira on a leash and a paper bag and a small gray thermos in his other hand. "Really very seductive. Ethan was in a sports outfit, from the looks of it he hadn't been out jogging yet like he did during the mornings I saw him as I was leaving for work." When the man crossed the street and saw me at the door he opened such a kind smile that first thing in the morning it already made my heart flutter with excitement, in fact I didn't know how I was going to put up with that man if it continued like this. "But what you're thinking is only the first day you're together. It seems you couldn't help the crazy thoughts of someone in love." - 'You didn't hav

I opened the door of the studio and entered, the place was still the same, but of course how would something change that had passed only one day that I was not present, I looked around looking for someone, but the entrance was really empty, they would probably be inside the studio, I breathed deeply feeling relieved for that, maybe I couldn't handle the pressure of so many questions the first moment I got there, it was strange, in fact, it seemed that I was in some kind of debt with someone, when I was heading towards the studio I was startled when Draven appeared at the door. - Oh, you came today! I tried to call you several times, but it seems that your cell phone was turned off. - Draven started talking non-stop, leaving me a little bewildered, I took a few steps back when he started to advance. - Oh right, my cell phone was off, I wasn't too well to talk. - I explained while smiling embarrassed. - 'I understand, I really do, but I was so worried, but your friend wouldn't let me

- Ah Don! You can't stop me from being worried about her! And it's not like you're not worried about her either, even today if you hadn't come, we'd go to your house in the evening. - The woman burst out talking, fingering even her friend who was embarrassed by the revelation, I smiled at him who returned it with a touch more embarrassment. - Thank you for your concern, you are great friends! But I'm fine, it was nothing, just a scare. - Even if that was the biggest lie, I didn't want them to be worried, in fact, I wasn't used to all this worry, it was too much for me. - I'm glad you're okay. - Brendon spoke, he was always very simple with his words, he didn't use many sentences if it wasn't necessary. - Thank you. - I thanked him again, the man had returned to his previous posture. - 'But tell me what happened? - Kiana couldn't hide her curiosity, which made me mentally thank her for putting makeup on those bruises. - Don't worry about it, it was just a scare, the man has already

I still couldn't believe what had just happened, just remembering a silly smile was already forming on my lips, it was unconscious, I couldn't contain that smile from appearing, and I didn't even want it to happen, it was too surreal to believe, when I saw her enter her room I thought I should be close in case she needed it and when I heard her low cry I soon entered the room for fear of what might happen, she was standing crying while looking ahead completely unmoved, I stopped in front of her, but she had no reaction, it was as if she was reliving those repeated scenes and could not get out of it, her look was like someone unjustly imprisoned, I thought about touching her I really wanted to make her wake up from that nightmare, but when Ayanne opened a smile, I didn't know what to do, I didn't understand what was happening to her, she was crying a lot, but still, she smiled sweetly. "- Ethan?... - She had such a wide smile that it crossed my mind that she was trying to hide what she

"- Listen to me carefully... There is nothing wrong with you, at least for me, I don't know about you, but believe me, even if I wanted to know, but about your life, I will not force you into anything, just as you did not ask me about mine, and I can assure you, that we have similar lives. - She wanted so badly to make me understand otherwise, she was willing to tell me that her life literally sucked like mine, did she really not care about that? I couldn't imagine what it would have been like for her, maybe I was wrong, maybe I shouldn't have been that scared." "- So please consider what I said, even though I may be looking like a crazy person, standing in this room, after almost being buried alive by recent events, I can assure you that I'm being as sane as possible here. - She really meant it, how could she say otherwise when her own eyes were talking to me? There was no way, she really likes me, she really wants to be with me." "- Do you still have doubts? - She looked so beautif

While I was concentrating on my work I didn't feel the time passing, and I hadn't even paid attention to it, every stroke I made on the canvas was a feeling that came together, everything merged there between paints and brushes, the feeling was good, it really made me feel that I was freeing myself from all the pain I had gone through all the suffering was there, and I didn't need it, but to keep that pain just for me, I could show it, I could finally show what I felt without having pitying looks under me, otherwise they wouldn't know that I had painted that with my soul, that instead of paint I had used tears and blood, I could empty my soul without worrying about anything, it was really comforting, and I wish Ethan had that same feeling. And speaking of him, I was missing him so much, I really wanted to know how he was, talk to him, hear his voice, maybe I was desperate, but with that new feeling, I didn't know if it was normal to be like that, maybe I was crazy, or it was normal, a

*Have you eaten yet? Are you feeling okay?* Ethan could be considered the most worried man on earth, all his messages came with some kind of question, it was really cute. *I'm eating, yeah, and I'm fine, how are you? For a few seconds I thought about not sending that message, but thinking better why couldn't I say what I was really feeling, especially because it was true, and I couldn't deny that I couldn't wait to see him that night, while waiting for his answer I bit a piece of the snack in my hand that was very good by the way. *I also miss you, and especially Akira, he almost crossed to your house today on the way back from the walk. Ah, I wanted to see those two so much, just imagining the puppy looking for me already made me so happy. *Oh, how cute! I wish I could have seen them, I can't wait to get home." Just as I was about to send the message, I heard my name and I answered in shock. - HI! - I looked ahead to see which of the three had spoken to me. - Wow, who's your dist

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
