GLASS HEART
PAINTING outside at the public park was one of gabriella's favorite things to do. especially doing it with the girl that was glued to her hip, nyla. she was the most supportive person in gabi's career as an artist."paint me! paint me!" nyla exclaimed, her eyes shut so her smile lines would appear. gabriella teased her with her wet paint brush and acted like she was going to put paint all over nyla's face. both the girls were laying on the grass, right in-front of the water. plenty of strangers strolling through the park with their loved ones, or biking alone on the path.
"i'm going to paint this view." gabriella said while spreading her arm out, "it's too beautiful not to." nyla nodded and smiled in agreement.
as gabriella scanned the way the sun was reflecting off the water, and a duck family innocently swimming past them, she saw a young man sit on one of the benches.
he had a kid wrapped around him, the man securing the little boy with his hand pressed against his lower back. he was feeding the boy ice cream. he slowly was letting the ice cream melt onto his black t-shirt.
"now that is one fine looking man!" ny whispered in her ear. gabriella didn't even realize how long she was staring at this man until nyla snapped her out of it. she quickly looks at ny, rolling her eyes with a smile.
"ny, please! let the man feed his kid without your flirtatious comments." gabi replied. however, gabi completely agreed with ny — this man was very attractive.
"you think that's actually his kid? he looks so young! i was going to guess maybe he is babysitting." nyla questioned. we both tilt our heads just a little, examining the man and child on the bench.
he quickly wiped the little boy's face with a napkin, then gave him a big kiss on the cheek. "okay.. maybe it is his child, or so i hope after seeing that shit." nyla replied. gabriella quickly laughing after.
