"- 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
When I finally finished putting my things away I grabbed my bag and walked straight out of the room I was anxious as I had never been before, just knowing that Ethan was waiting for me, I already felt like running out, but as soon as I set foot out of the room I came across Draven blocking my way my heart raced hard in my chest with the shock of the shock I couldn't help but take two steps back. - Oh, I'm sorry, teacher! I wasn't paying attention. - I asked as I clutched my bag tightly. - 'Since when did you start treating me like a teacher? - The man leaned in, whispering like a secret, leaving me not knowing what to say. - Eh... But. - I stammered with insecurity. - 'Don't worry, I'm joking with you! - Draven smiled, which made me even more awkward. - Oh, right, eh... I have to go. - I said as I tried to get past the man. - 'Let me take you home, it'll be safe. - Draven offered, but as soon as I saw Ethan standing in front of the door, I stopped paying much attention. - 'Oh no
- AAAH! - I shouted with fright, jumping on the bed. - AU! AU! - Akira barked while looking at me without understanding anything, my heart was pounding so hard that it hurt. - Oh my god, Akira! What a fright! - I didn't expect him to be here, in fact, I had no idea. - WHAT HAPPENED? - Ethan appeared at my door looking at me scared, apparently, it was not only me that this happened, it seemed like a cascade effect and Ethan also seemed traumatized, I should be careful instead of screaming like crazy for anything. - Oh I'm not fine, I didn't see akira, and I was startled when he brushed against my foot, I was distracted looking for something to tie my hair. - I said as I took the puppy in my arms and stroked his fur. - I'm sorry, sweetie! I scared you, what an ugly thing! - I started to talk to the puppy who started to wiggle in my arm happily, when I was going to turn to say something to Ethan I was scared again by his proximity. - What are you... - I was going to ask, but he inte
We were together all the time, as soon as dinner was ready, I helped him put the meat broth with vegetables that he had prepared in the soup bowls, and we went to sit on the couch, the weather was perfect for a soup, and Ethan got it right when he did it I couldn't help but praise him a lot when I tried it, it was some kind of soup with beef it was so tasty the meat dissolved in the mouth and the seasoning our even the vegetables had absorbed all the seasoning he had put. - You should teach me how to make this soup. - I said as I took some more of the broth. - 'But why if I can make it for you? - He asked, and I looked at him, surprised by his gesture. - 'But what if you get tired? I can make it for you too. - I smiled, really happy with that. - Well, in that case, I can teach you. - He agreed, reaching out to take my bowl that was already empty. - Hey? Ethan, my food is gone! - I joked, feigning despair. - Ha! Ha! What do you mean it's gone? Didn't you eat it all? - He laughed,
"When he entered the place many heads turned towards him, apparently he did not show any discomfort, he just followed indifferently to the front of the counter where the attendant received him with an indifferent smile just not to be rude and end up receiving negative feedback on his service." "- Are you okay, Mr. Black? - He looked at me, perhaps now noticing my presence, just nodded, and turned his attention to the artist who was spending his hand unsticking something invisible on it." "- I think your friend is the one who needs help. - He finally spoke up." However, that was not even half of his personality, the man who is in my kitchen now is not half of everything he just appears to be, Ethan has the kindest heart I know, I watched him dry his hand with the dishwashing cloth and walk towards me smiled gently before stopping in front of me and resting his arms on either side of my body on the sofa. - Would you like anything else? - He asked as he stared at me, I smiled at the m
At dawn when I realized that Ayanna was already asleep, I decided to put her to bed, even though that position in which the woman was in my arms was really comfortable, but I knew that if we stayed there, she would wake up totally sore, and it would also not be comfortable for both of us, I got up from the couch taking care not to wake her, as soon as I managed to get out I put the woman on her stomach since it would be easier for me to pick her up, I reached for the control on the coffee table and turned off the television, so I could finally lift her body, I walked calmly to the room so as not to make sudden movements, as soon as I arrived in the room I saw Akira lying on the bed lazily the same way the woman had left him. "What do I do with you? You only know how to eat and sleep. I continued walking towards the bed, but I turned around to be able to put his body in the correct position, I deposited it on the bed with great care, I arranged his head on the pillow, I walked to where
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
