Getting Along

Hey guys

Hope you all liked the last chapter

The above video is a Rucas edit with the song 'You & I'

------

Previously:

Lucas and Riley finalise some songs for their wedding.

-------

It had been a few days since the day when the songs had been finalised for Lucas and Riley's wedding and Maya had been relaxing as per the advice from her doctor when she received a call from Auggie.

She was surprised that Auggie had called her as she picked up the call.

Maya was probably the last person Auggie would call but when she understood what he was up to she understood why he had come to her and not someone else.

-------

Since college was over now and the gang was staying at their homes, so Maya invited Auggie over to her house since her parents weren't going to be home for a few hours.

About twenty minutes later Auggie enters the apartment and they exchange pleasantries.

Just then, Maya asks, "Now, do you mind explaining to me what exactly you plan to do?"

Auggie replies, "I want to make something special for Lucas and Riley for their wedding. Something they would really appreciate and cherish. After seeing your gift, I decided to make them a painting, but the only problem in that plan is that I am not an artist like you."

Maya says, "You know that Riley and Lucas are the sappiest people alive. They are going to love whatever you make because it's the thought that counts for those two."

Auggie replies, "I know that, but I would rather have the painting be worth looking at because I'm sure they'll put it up somewhere in their house"

Maya says, "Ain't that the truth. Now tell me which picture you had in mind to use as a reference for the portrait."

Auggie replies, "I have a picture of them in their early dating days which I wanted to paint. Lucas was giving Riley a piggyback ride in the house because she asked."

Maya says, "Let me see the picture"

Auggie shows her the picture and replies, "I took the picture for them. I'm not sure why they never shared this one because it does look nice."

Maya says, "Well it is a cute picture and I think if you make a painting of this one, they will love it more than all their other wedding gifts"

Auggie replies, "You're probably right and now I think we should start because I don't know how long will it take to actually make this"

Maya nods in agreement and takes Auggie to her art room and helps him to start his project on a canvas kept there.

Maya explains, "Since you're a beginner, we'll be making an outline using a pencil before using the paints to fill in the colour"

She then guides Auggies hands as they successfully draw the picture outlines to make it easier to paint later.

Auggie asks, "Do you also make outlines like this?"

Maya replies, "I've had a lot of practice so now I don't need an outline for my paintings. I just pick up my paints and start filling in the colours."

Auggie says, "You know, I'm still wondering if my drawings will ever get any better"
