Chapter Two

"I can't believe I'm letting you do this to me," Jordan grumbles.

"Oh get over it." I paint his nails black. "All the girls will think that's hot on Monday. That and wearing rings now that is just a bonus. You'll definitely attract all the bisexual girls for sure." I look over at John. "Could I do your nails as well?"

"No."

"Ugh no fun." I finish painting Jordan's nails. "Anyone have an old art set?"

"Why?"

"Because we could paint each other!"

"Jordan and I are not good at painting," John chuckles.

"Actually, I still have an unopened one in my room. Grandma gave it to me last Christmas." Jordan runs up the stairs. He comes back down with paint brushes, three canvases, and paint. We go over to the kitchen table.

"Do you guys have any old newspapers and cardboard?"

"Yeah Jordan and I will go get some from outside."

"Okay." The boys go outside. I get three plastic cups and fill it up with water. The boys come back in.

"Why do you need all of this?" asks John. I take the cardboard and put it all over the table and then the newspapers on top.

"It's to protect the table." I sit down on one of the chairs. "Who wants to be painted first?"

"I want to paint you," says Jordan.

"Oh okay. Where do you want me to-" Jordan takes my hand and puts me on the high chair. He puts one hand over the other and has me cross my legs.

"Sit very still." He grabs the canvas and starts squirting out paint onto the newspaper. He dips a brush in and starts painting. John turns on the speaker and connects it to his phone the song 'Sesame Syrup' starts playing. John pours a cup of apple juice into a jar. He takes a sip before returning to his seat, watching me stay as still as possible. He looks at Jordan's painting.

"Not bad." He looks back at me. "He's almost finished."

"How would you be able to finish that fast?"

"He took art classes." Jordan dips another brush into another paint. He hurriedly does a few brush strokes and then stops. He puts all of the used brushes in the plastic cup.

"Finished." He goes over to me. He shows me the painting he has done a spectacular job. It looks so similar to me. "What do you think?"

"It's really good Jordan. I love it." I leave the canvas on the other table to dry. John is holding a canvas and starts squirting out paint on the newspaper.

"I'll be painting Jordan."

"I'm going to look so ugly then." I sit down behind John as I watch him slowly starting to paint Jordan. I'm just going to trust the process.

After a good twenty five minutes, John finally finished painting him. Jordan looks more like Squidward. I finally get prepared to paint John. I start to paint his angelic features. His beautiful cyan eyes. His defined jawline and soft curls in his hair. Jordan watches me from a far.

"You better not make me look ugly V."

"I'd never J." My favorite song 'Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You.' I gasp a little. "It's my favorite-"
