STRAWBERRY

Chapter 3

Her living room is full of paint the floor was covered with plastic sheets and paints,paint buckets, canvases, 4 paint stands/easel,she must be a painter

"Sorry for the mess,"she said before chuckling awkwardly

"Oh!... don't feel sorry,mines messier,"I replied then chuckled

The Further I go inside the apartment I saw the full details the kitchen as large as my living room, surprisingly the kitchen was spotless clean,no paints and everything,I looked around a bit more ,there I saw a door that is different from the others, it's a abstract colored and full of sticker bomb and...strawberry stickers?

She really do love strawberries huh?

"You sure love strawberries,huh?,"I said before chuckling

"Ahhh!,yes,oh!, just wait for me I'll just put my PJs on ,oh,and....make yourself at home ,you can eat what ever you want at the kitchen some foods are on the fridge"she said before getting inside her room I just stalled there standing ,saw the kitchen again and I helped myself

Opened the fridge and start looking there's a left over velvet cake,fizzy drinks,etc

At the fresh greens part I saw a strawberry...a lot of strawberries,pick some up and ate it

As soon as I turned my back I saw her,in her oversized long sleeve velvet with stars PJs ,no make up and her hair is messy, just her normal look,you can see her imperfections that made her more like a person,she must be tired probably have long nights,I see her eyebags but she's still beautiful without make up-in fact she's more beautiful without the make up,those fixed up make ups just refined her tones

She walked towards the kitchen and leaned on a kitchen Island

"I see you're eating strawberries...,"she said in a fruity voice and gave me an ear to ear smile

I chuckled,"you said to feel at home...so...I ate...,"I said before giving her a awkward smile

"It's ok....,oh you can sleep in my bed, I'll just sleep on the fl-,"

No,her sleeping on the floor,never,

"No, you don't have to... I'll be the one who'll sleep on the floor,besides I'm kinda used to it, don't ask why,"I said before chuckling

"No...I ins-,"

I sighed and replied"Mis strawberry, it's ok,plus, it's your own apartment,we just met awhile ago,remember?,"I said before chuckling

"Yeah,"she then smirked

Her paintings caught my attention when I first stepped here at her apartment

It's just surreal, beautiful, expressive,she have a lot of style,i don't know where does she get the genes,for sure her bloodline is one talented bloodline

"So...the paintings?...I guess that's your work?, you're a painter"I asked while walking towards her paintings and looking it up close

"It's my work, yes,I'M a painter,"she replied

Wait....how stupid I am,I realized that her own studio is in her own apartment..

"That's why you can afford this-lavish lifestyle,huh?,"

"Well partly yes,my parents pay half of this rent,and I do the rest,"she said

I looked back at her and saw her eating strawberries ,

"Your paintings are awesome,and beautiful,"

She smirked then replied,"Don't patronize me,silly,"she then chuckled

"No,I mean it,seriously,"I said before giving her a slight chuckled

"You ,what are your...hobbies...works?,"she asked before taking a bite on a strawberry

"I work at marketime foods..,"

"Ooooh, heard that they give free stuff to employees,continue,"she said while chewing the strawberry

I just chuckled and proceeded to answer her,"I also go to gigs with my band,you know Ben for sure, he's my band mate,"

"Uhuh, Benjamin,always on LSD,"she said then chuckled

"So yeah, that's it,"I said before giving her a smile for a split second

"Anything about,you know,your family?,"she asked

That's when my heart pumped up all of the sudden,my past....how can I say,or how can I tell her about my past?,I don't want her to know about my past early on our friendship,she probably not gonna like it

"It's... complicated,"

That's what I said

"Like how?,"
