"rise and shine sunshine" diego said, as he turned the car on.

"yea, good morning to you too" i said softly.

"not much sleep?" he asked concerned," do you need anything? food? coffee?"

" im all good, dont worry, just didnt sleep much, thats all"

"are you sure?" he asked.

"im sure, trust me"

he sighed softly as he smiled," alright.."

today was a full and free tour day for us, so i didnt know what i was gonna do with myself, especially now that there isnt anything to do.

"alright so, there is a museum if you wanna check it out" he said.

"the art museum?"

"yea! the one downtown, would you like to go?" he asked.

"depends"

"on"

"can i pay for the tickets?"

he laughed loudly before he said," no" holding out his hand to me.

"again?" i asked.

"dont act like you dont want to sunshine." he smiled.

i felt my face flush up with red before i pushed his hand away," i assume thats my new nickname, huh?"

"you know you like it." he said," or you wouldn't be blushing."

"i never said i didn't like it, just didn't need your satisfaction."

he laughed softly as he reached his hand back out again," just take it"

i rolled my eyes as i reached my hand out to him," fine"

i held his hand softly, as i looked at the koi tattoo on his wrist. i didnt see that last night..

he squeezed my hand softly as we sat in silence, only the cars engine revving was heard.

"you mind?" he asked, darting his eyes to the sunroof. i used my other hand to open up the sunroof, before i smiled," maybe i will take that offer up on the coffee."

"oh i knew you'd change your mind. we were already on the way."

i swirled my coffee in my hands as he and i walked to the steps of the museum entrance.

"you took note of my love for art, didnt you?" i asked carefully.

"partially, but i also wanted to check it out for myself."

"right right" i joked, nudging him in his side.

he laughed as he held the door open for me.

i walked inside as i took in the sight of colors before i heard some children laughing in the distance. i looked over to my right as i saw kids running to go to the other side of the museum.

"oh, right. its also part of a childrens museum.." he said," because i know you'd like it."

"well done.." i said," you've really thought this through" i added, eyeing him suspiciously.

"trust me, you have noooo clue." he smiled.

we made our way to the ticket booth, grabbing our tickets, before we started on the journey into the museum. we wandered around, admiring the oil painting son the first wall. the painting was called field of flowers, and it was oil painted flowers, what looked to be thousands of them. he raised his hand up, pointing at the one rose that was painted in the midst of the lilac field.
