Appearances can be Deceptive Chapter 10
Compared to the fiasco that had been our breakfast, amazingly enough when we saw each other at work Draven seemed completely different when he saw me he was very gentlemanly and recognized that he had talked a lot and only when he got home he realized that we had not talked properly, I will not deny that his attitude made me very happy, and so he promised me a more inviting lunch promising to behave properly which in fact was quite funny when he said that, and here we are sitting in a small restaurant with a much more fluid and pleasant conversation. - But tell me, what did you do before you moved to this small town? - He asked, smiling. - Well, I was a waitress in a diner near the college. - I replied, annoyed by this subject. - I understand why you chose Snow College? - He said, referring to the nickname given affectionately by the students. - Well, I thought it was better to go there, because it was the college where my parents met. - It wasn't totally untrue that my adoptive p

Flora cut the cake while I went to make an orange and beet juice to refresh that hot day, it was totally natural except for the industrialized sugar, but it contained a lot of vitamin for the body, and that was what I needed the most at that moment, I put some ice cubes and put two glasses on the counter and took a smaller purple plastic glass to Megan not for fear of breaking the glass one, but for the little girl to feel more comfortable in taking the juice and holding a lighter glass in her hands. I went back to the counter and waited for Flora to put Megan's piece on the plate, and only then I could serve myself. - Did you manage to fix the faucet? - Flora, my neighbor, asked after sitting down in front of me, taking a piece of the wonderful dessert she had made. - Yes, everything worked out in the end, Mr. Black is great with these things, I didn't even have to buy another one. - I said, remembering that I didn't really change the faucet. "Will it be a problem if I leave it as

My heart was fluttering, inside my chest, Ethan had stopped, but hadn't turned around, maybe he was pondering whether to ignore me or not, luckily the man turned to look at me. - Did he? Is there a problem? - When I heard him, I let out all the air I didn't know I had been holding. - Eh, Flora and Megan are making dinner, something called lasagna, I've never had it, so I don't know if it's any good, but they would like you to join in as well, Megan especially. - I was so embarrassed to talk to the man at that moment that I couldn't stop talking, after what happened I pinched the skin on my fingers. - And you want me to come too? - His question had sounded strange to me. "What did that have to do with me? I wanted to ask more like a programmed response I answered." - Yes, of course the more people the better! - I replied with a shy smile. - I understand, I don't think I should go, but have a nice dinner. - Ethan was already turning around, denying my request my mind went into a pa

- WAIT! - I heard Ethan's voice too late. - Ow! It's hot! - I literally freaked out, burning the roof of my mouth with just the top of my food, that wasn't hot, it was just made in the lava of a volcano. - Oh my God, Ayanne, are you okay? I told you it was hot! - Flora became desperate and went to the sink to get a glass of water. - Are you dizzy or something? Didn't you know it was hot? - Ethan spoke indignantly, trying to help me by holding out a napkin. - I-I'M ASOPLEI! - I said while shaking my mouth and wiping the corner of my lip since I had literally drooled, coming out with a slurred speech. Flora handed me the glass of water and took a long sip. - Aunt Aya looks like a child! - I saw Megan put her hand on her head in a gesture of disbelief. - Sorry, I didn't know it still got this hot, I blew on it. - I replied when the burning subsided. - Why are you apologizing? You're the one who got hurt. - Ethan spoke with a strange look on his face. I hadn't noticed that I apolog

Her comment made me smile like a fool, I agreed with my head, and we went back to eating in a lively conversation, when we were full of everything and Megan was practically falling asleep on the chair was that Flora decided to leave, Ethan took the opportunity to also go home, I didn't protest I was falling asleep myself even being as full as a camel was of water to cross a desert, I followed them to the entrance of the house. Flora was the first to say goodbye leaving us behind, Ethan followed her example, but before he did, I stopped him. - Hey, Mr. Black. - Ethan stopped before turning completely around. - Is there a problem? - He asked, just turning his head slightly to look at me, I hesitated for a few seconds before speaking again. - I apologize for... what happened this morning, and especially tonight, I know it must be upsetting for you and... - I started to speak, but was soon cut off. - There's no need to apologize, for any of these reasons, I'm not as bad-tempered as I l

Draven stopped the car in front of me, bent down to look at me with a cheerful smile, seeing him surprised me but at the same time I was thankful that he was passing by at that moment, otherwise I wouldn't even know what to do. - Do you want a ride? I see it's a little crowded in there. - He spoke in a joking tone, I smiled and shook my head positively before speaking. - I can't refuse, all help is welcome at this time. - I answered, I saw the man get out of the car and go to the trunk, opening it, I approached the man leaving the cart a few inches behind. - You came at a good time. - I said, leaning against the side of the trunk and watching him organize some space, since the man was carrying a few cans of paint. - It was good that you came at the right time, to see your eyes first thing in the morning is the best thing. - I felt my face heat up and had probably turned red, as at the same moment the man let out a laugh. "I have to admit that Draven is very handsome especially und

Thanks to Ethan and Draven helping me get all the groceries into the house I wasn't tired and best of all it had been faster than when Draven and I had done it with the cart by the car, while Draven was bringing the last remaining bag Ethan finished putting the one he carried on the floor, I walked outside when I saw the man reaching for his cell phone in his pocket, I hurried to help him with the bag he carried. - I'll take it. - He stubbornly held the bag in one hand. - Give it to me, you seem busy today, I'm embarrassed enough that you made him help me. - I finally managed to grab the last bag from his hand. - Then I'll say goodbye from here, I really need to get back to the studio, don't forget we're going to schedule that walk. - I nodded and waved my free arm to say goodbye to the man who was already starting the car and leaving the front of my house. As the car disappeared from my eyes, I turned back around and got a huge fright as I slammed into Ethan's chest. - Sorry, Mr.

The man let out a beautiful smile and as if premeditated, the faucet exploded, spurting water everywhere, I got a light spray on my face as the man used his arm to cover me, but it didn't avoid soaking his shirt, I couldn't help but scream with fright. - Get the pot while I try to turn off the water! - I nodded my head as if it were a mission, ran to the end of the counter where there was a washed pan and ran back to the sink literally throwing the pan face down, Ethan was under the sink with his torso almost all the way in. - Did you get it yet? - I asked, getting anxious at the amount of water pouring into the sink. - Almost there! - And as soon as he answered, the water slowed down until it stopped completely. - There! - he answered, getting up from under the sink. - Did it really stop? - I asked incredulously, even though I couldn't hear the sound of the water anymore. - Yes, you can take the pan off. - I said, pointing. - You're not going to get me wet again, right? - I saw

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

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
