The drive back home with Sophie was strangely quiet until she decided break the void"You know mama and papa must be really bored up there that they are trying to get one of us to be with them so soon"I was suddenly beginning to miss the silenceThis question was really a tough one because I knew the real answer she wanted"Mama and papa are not lonely up there at allThose old people will definitely not want any child to spoil their funTrust me you are not going anywhere anytimeOh by the way I got something for youCheck the bag beside you"I pointed at the bag hoping it will get her mind of death for the moment"What is in the bag"She asked excitedly as she rushed to it at the back seat"Did you get me.....Treaties Doughnut!!You are really the best"she said as she brought it out"I know I amAnd just to be extra nice today what do you th

“I got bored…………”“You got bored?”I said, completely confused.“Mrs. Young left to go sort out our tour and there I was standing all by myself. Then I saw you had managed to get rid of your chauffeur, so I decided to come get you myself”.He said with a proud smile on“You got bored…..”I said as relief washed all over my face and I suddenly felt a lot lighter.“YesI just said thatSo is everything good?”.He asked“Yes…..”I said, wondering what he was talking about.“I mean at home.”He explained further, seeing my confusion.“Oh yeahEverything is good.Xain was just checking in”.I said vaguely, adjusting my purse to avoid eye contact with him.“OkayNow that we have that sorted out on to the next thing on our agendaCome on we have a lot of cover and little time to do so” .He said with a huge smile on his face.“I hear you, but I doubt Mrs. Young is done setting up, seeing as this is a last minute arrangement that you basically tricked her into doing.”I said”You say tricked
De Luca..........De Luca..........De Luca..........De Luca..........De Lu…..“DarlingAre you fine?You look really pale?Here is a glass of water.”Still in shock, I slowly collected the glass from him, nodding as I gulped it all down in one take, trying to get my brain to function, so I could sort it all out, but I guess I had finally broken my brain because I kept on hearing only De Luca like a mix player on loop.“AnytimeYou did not disappoint at all Mrs. Young as expected, and I had a really lovely time this evening.”“It is always a pleasure to have you around, Mr. De LucaWe hope you had a wonderful time, Ms. GomezWe will have the note added to the item and drop it by your driver.Let me leave you two alone.Enjoy the rest of the evening”She said with a polite smile and walked off.“I couldn’t have done any of these without your help.Thanks a lot………..”I knew he was talking to me and I had to reply, but I couldn’t.My head was still spinning and my brain just froze.“He

This was my time not his and I wasn't going to let a stupid smirk get to me"I had a not so terrible teacher" I said returning the smirking back to him"And soon the student becomes the maste........" He said and we both laughed out loud when I got another idea, looking at him with a innocent face I asked him"Wouldn't it be nice for you to slip a little note before they wrap the painting up........You know to add a personal touch to it?" "That is not a bad idea at allI just need a little piece of paper" He said them signalled to the server by our left "Sir.........." The server a blonde lanky kid said moving to our table "Can you get me small piece of paper and a pen?" my date asked "Yes sir.........""And also tell your manager to hold on on wrapping my item for the night I want to add a little note to itFrom table 2

One of her work is at the Hamsmith Art Gallery it was one of their showcase for last summer I think the name was.........Blue Light.........."I stuttered off not completely sure I got the name right but also silently thanking Sophie for been a Art lover.
