Stay tuned...
Three weeks later.It has been a long time since I've felt this inspired to paint... Things haven't been great in a long time and they still aren't but I have to make an effort for myself to be happy. I can't continue dreaming about Adam all the time. Now it's time to put some dreaming into my work. Bbzzz!!!The buzzer on my interphone goes off and I put down my paintbrush and run over to pick it up."Hello.""It's me, will you let me up? I come bringing relatively hot pizza but the new doorman won't let me in without a proper invito (invitation)." Enzo says as I hear him pass the phone to Sam, the doorman."It's ok, Sam. Give him a cardkey.""As you wish, Miss Alex."I went back to my workstation rinsed my brush in water and set it off on the side as I heard the elevator door open and Enzo walked in."Wow, now that is magnifico. (magnificent)""You like it?" I ask as I move aside to give him a better look."Of course. What will you call it?" Enzo asks as he takes a closer look."Hear
..."No, she didn't," Adam says, he does appear to be a bit... not angry, but definitely not happy."I just thought that with everything happening with Autumn you have your hand pretty full, and there is the party and... I didn't even tell my mother yet, so." God, this was so stupid."Well we invite you now, I'll make sure to put your name on the list." I just hope this wasn't Enzo's way of a payback for inviting his ex."I'll be there. I wouldn't miss it." Adam says, this time looking directly at me."Great, I'll leave you now. And I will see you later." Enzo says as he turns to me and to my surprise kisses me on the lips. It's not a long kiss but it was definitely unexpected yet I knew it was just an act. We were selling an act, the only thing I still didn't know was whether Adam was buying it."Bye, Enzo," I say as we cut the kiss and Enzo walks by Adam to the elevator door and enters it. Perhaps I should have given him a nickname but I just can't see myself saying words like babe.
The day of the partyAdam's POV"Where are we going?" I say as I follow Autumn and Alex as they walk in front of me in the maze garden. I have no idea what we are even doing here. "Hey wait up." Why are they so fast?"Pick the right turn, Adam," Alex says as she takes a turn and disappears from my sight while Autumn keeps going to the left so I keep following her."Ok, what kind of a game is this?" I ask as I turn around thinking I would find my way out but I was already in too deep and I didn't remember my turns."Dont give up now Adam," Autumn says and continues to walk away from me, and Alex is nowhere to be seen."Then wait up. How is it you know this place so well?" I ask as I hurry my step and with each glance back I realise I'm more and more lost."You are the one who should know the path, Adam." Path to where? I dont know anything, I just keep on following Autumn until we come to a clearing where Alex stands with Enzo, nonetheless."What is he doing here?" I ask as he takes Al
I decided I would leave a bit early and get to Richard's house before the party actually starts to have a moment of peace with Autumn because later that would be rather impossible. She must be nervous, for multiple reasons. One being the pressure off all the eyes that will be on her, and two... after tonight Domenic will know exactly where to find her after she managed to stay hidden from him for over a month. I have no idea what is going on inside her head, Autumn is difficult to read. But then again maybe I'm just terrible at reading people, otherwise I would know what it is that is happening with Alex.I let the security man take my car while I let myself into the house that is buzzing with catering people hurrying to get everything in order."Mr.Taylor, aren't you a bit early?" Mrs. Hendrics says as she appears behind a corner. "And your parents?""They will arrive shortly. I wanted to have a moment to talk with Autumn before, I hope that is not a problem.""Not at all, the hairdr
...."You right Autumn, it is early for love," I say as I gently touch her cheek. At this point, I dont really know what love is supposed to feel like, but if I put in an effort it just might be worth it in the end. "But I am falling in love with you," Or so I thought since the first moment I saw you. "and if you let me I'd like to try and make you fall in love with me too." Maybe what we need is a little push in the right direction. Maybe we need a spark."Adam, I'm..." Autumn wants to say something but I interrupt the by closing our distance and lovering my lips on hers. It was a gentle kiss, and once she ended up relaxing into it, perhaps she wanted to test out the possibility of us, but something was just not there. I couldn't tell if it was her or me... but that was no reason to give up just yet."Give us a chance, that's all I'm asking." Trying won't make us lose anything, yet we could gain something. That has to count."But what about your family? What are they going to think a
"I can't believe it's your prom night. You grow up so fast, my baby is 18." Mom said as she took pictures of me in my prom dress. "Mom enough with the pictures, please," I begged her. "Hey let me make some memories, I already feel bad enough that I have to go to work. I won't even get to see your date.” Mom said as she laid down the camera and came to hug me. “Even though I was so proud of you for achieving this scholarship I always worried about how they would treat you in that private school.” She said as she brushed my curls. "Well I didn't really care about fitting in, I was there to learn, to get opportunities for college. But I managed to make a friend or two."And that friend that's taking you to prom, is there any chance he will become a boyfriend in the future?" As close as I am with Mom I never really talked to her about Domenic. "Don't you need to go to work now Mom?" I try to turn the conversation. "Uhh the old change the topic scheme, fine fine I'm leaving but I will
All of a sudden I was woken up by the sound of my alarm clock. I can't believe that nightmare is back, I was doing so good. Why was it back now? I rushed to the bathroom and splashed some water on my face, it's been more than ten years since that night yet I still can't forget about it. The nightmare always seems to find me. I got dressed quickly and got ready for work. Luckily I don't live far away, living above where you work has some privileges. The first two floors are my library cafe, I have to say I'm proud of myself for what I created. It's a perfect place to enjoy a good book or work on paper while the aroma of freshly brewed coffee accompanies you while sharing a conversation with a friend.The third floor I made into my apartment, I still own my mother's house but since her passing, I just kind of stay here.I got downstairs just as Jess, the girl who works for me opened the cafe. "Morning boss." She said as she put her apron on."Morning Jess, can you please prepare the la
That voice, it cant be him. "What old lady?" Summer asked him. He opened a file he had in his hands. "Sarah James." My mother. "My brother, you are very misinformed. I know the owner of this place." Summer looked in my direction. "Autumn come to meet my brother, Domenic this is Autumn." When he turned around, I... I thought my world shattered all over again. At least he looked as shocked as me while Summer just stared at us. "Autumn, are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost." Summer asked me. "Autumn." Domenic said my name. He looked older yes, but more handsome than ever. "As it turned out my brother is the shark that wants to buy this place." Summer smacked him on the shoulder. "Your brother? You are a Davis Jones?" I asked shocked, she said she was Summer Danes. "Yes, wait you two know each other?" Do we know each other? No, we don't. The man that I knew never existed. I'm going to be sick. "We went to the same high school." Domenic said. His voice made me more s
