The Rise Of Us

Chapter 14: The Paintings

"I'll never let go Jack!"

"Rose! I love you!"

"Noooooo!"

Amberlee looks at the movie with plain boredom, her looking at Amir to see him making a sad face, his feet being propped up on his desk while leaned back in his chair, him eating a burger. "What the heck are you crying?"

"It's a sad movie!" Amir defends while motioning towards the TV.

"Well they should have known better to go on a damn cruise around never ending water filled with sharks and death opportunities, they brought it on themselves." Amberlee rolls her eyes before she turns back to her desk.

Amir just looks at her with wide eyes. "You are so cruel!"

"I'm just being honest. Like seriously why would you say you would never let go then from there let go?! Both of them could have fitted there. Idiotic girl." Amberlee says in a Duh tone.

"It's emotional!"

"It's stupid that's what it is."

"Okay remind me to never watch sad movies with you." Amir says before he takes the DVD out of the player. "I'll just watch them with Uncle Dustin and Auntie Suzie or Summer or something."

"Hey you do you." Amberlee mentions simply.

"So the metal heads paintings are done now?" Amir questions.

"Yep and now and I am currently working on Cindy's." Amberlee responds.

"Awesome!" Amir says in a dramatic tone.

"So how is your girlfriend called Stephanie Goodman?" Amberlee questions while she paints.

"Okay she is not my girlfriend." Amir puts his hands up.

"Sooo kissing partner?" Amberlee shrugs.

"Wait you knew that we kissed during the modeling launch?"

"What?!" Amberlee exclaims while turning her chair to look at him with wide eyes.

"Okay you didn't know." Amir responds. "Look it just happened okay."

Amberlee sighs a little, yeah she gets that. "Alright." She says before she turns back to face the painting.

Amir looks at her in confusion. "Wait did you just say alright?"

"Yes Amir it was different when we were minors but we are adults now so we are able to make our own decisions." Amberlee responds.

"Yeah but..." Amir trails off. "I don't know Ambie honestly she is so damn complicated. One minute she's kissing me another minute she's telling me it's a mistake then one minute she's nice to me we're having a good time next minute she is incredibly distant from me and saying we're getting to close it's like each day is a new mood and it is confusing me!" He rants out honestly.

Yeah, she can understand that because Ryder is always in constant moods, especially now. She wants to understand because she knows his grandparents are close to dying but she knows it is something more than that, yesterday proved that. She guess that her and Amir are in the same boat because Ryder is complicated too, he has always been complicated.

"Sounds complicated." Amberlee comments.

"Yeah you have no idea." Amir leans back in his seat.

No YOU have no idea.

"So do you like her?" Amberlee questions while she turns her chair around to face Amir.

Amir sighs a little bit while he nods his head, his legs spread a little while he slides his chair a little to and fro. "I do Ambie." He admits honestly. "I don't know she's..unique. And even though she's beautiful she...she doesn't flaunt that, she is not arrogant because of it but at the same time I can tell that she lacks confidence, even though she is beautiful."
