Fallen Angel

Wine and Art

Ebenezar

"Lady and Gentleman, may I present to you the Ars Amatoria sanctuary, which in Latin means the 'art of love'" Rakeem eagerly introduced us.

"Here couples, friends or family get to create deeper and more meaningful relationships with each other, because I believe love is art. I made it my life's mission to ensure that they get to experience greater depths of love and I am confident that it can be done through the expression of art and with the accompany of a little wine of course." He chuckled causing us do the same also.

"I've witnessed individuals in this sanctuary improve in their relationships and I hope I can do that same for the both of you. Art is about divulging our innermost feelings and ideas but without vocalisation. Art should speak for itself. It can be uncomfortable at times and may require us to be vulnerable but that's what makes it authentic and true." He finished

'Now that I given you guys the main details let me begin with the first activity. This evening we'll commence with something simple. You will be replicating a sunset on water, with watercolour paint'.

'This should only take less than 40 minutes,  the painting aprons are behind your chairs, everything that you need is on the art table and I'll check up on the both of you in 20 minutes. Let the love begin' he said eagerly before leaving the two of us alone and into a different room.

The atmosphere was just perfect, the scented candles diffused across the room and low jazz playing on the record player.

[Feeling good by Nina Simone]

We put on our aprons and helped each other tie up the strings.

"So what do think about tonight so far?" I asked dipping my brush into the orange paint.

'It's been nice Ebe' she said genuinely while smiling back at me.

'It makes me happy to know that you're enjoying yourself. It assures me, that I'm doing the right thing. You deserve to be treated with nice things, but it doesn't end here." I said smirking back at her.

30 minutes passed and Rahkeem came out from behind curtains to check up on us.

"Soo.. how are we doing so far?" He asked as he observed our art works.

"Good' we say synchronously

'I mean not too shabby' Lola confessed

I find it ironic her mentioning it but she really is an artist. Her's was way better than mine, a 5 year old could do a better job than me but I had fun either way.

"Lola, you are putting mine to complete shame" I said while Rakeem held her work up to the light.

"We might have to use yours as an exhibit instead" He added on

'Anyhow, it is time to move onto the next and final activity' he quickly ended the conversation.

'This one will require more time but it will be a lot more tactual, if you catch my drift. I wanted to try something new for my couples and the both of you will be the first to test it out. I have big hopes that will be a success. I wanted to execute something more personal and sensual. In the final activity you will be doing conducting body painting" He stated, catching us both off guard.

"You will be required to be partially naked so undergarments, or completely naked if that's your niche but mostly skin'.
Lola and I looked at each other in shock, too stunned to speak.

'Talk about a surprise' I thought to myself.

I didn't feel completely comfortable doing it, given that this was our first proper date, and I wanted her to feel comfortable. We'd gone out a few times in the past but nothing like this.

'Do you feel comfortable doing this?' I asked Lola still unsure. She while she was still processing Rah's proposition. There was silence for a few moments.

"Let's do it!" she announced confidently, taking me aback slightly. As long as she was comfortable, I will try my best.

"Prefect." Rah said pleased while rubbing his hands together. Let me direct you to the couples room in the back" we complied following right behind him.

"Right in here please." He directed us to into the changing rooms. There are five stalls on the right corner where you can get undressed, with a cubbies to contain your belongings and robes hung behind the doors. The paint equipment are also on the left side of the room and if you need me just press the button on the door. I'll come
to you guys at the end of the session when you give me the signal" He concluded giving is the final instructions.

This room was a lot smaller, styled with a purple theme and small suede purple couch, with two glasses of champagne on the coffee table, and high chairs opposite each other . I continued to observe the room when my thoughts were cut off by Lola's voice.

'Hey I'm going to change now are you ready?' she asked

'Yeah...Lola wait are you sure you want to do this?  I planned all this but Rakeem really surprised me with this activity and I didn't get a chance to get your consent? I confessed.

Without answering my question, Lola slowly walked up to me, of which we were half an inch apart. She lightly placed her right hand in the middle of my chest and looked deeply into the windows of my soul.

'It's okay, I want to do this, she said comforting me with her words.

All of a sudden I felt confident again, this woman really knows how to speak life into me again, this is why I love her.

'Okay let's do this then' I exclaimed
