One of my favorite painters,
was Paul Cézanne.
The way he worked with colors
and his imagination
took my breath away.
But lately,
even his art was not enough
to take even the slightest breath away.
It's been almost five days,
since I've seen Lydia.
I do not regret that night
even if my life depended on it.
I catch myself
daydreaming about her.
I had to see her again soon
before I lose my mind.
It was a need.
"Wow, Evan.
Have you not heard of porn?
Why do you need to
get off from naked people
in paintings?"
No,
why God why.
I didn't want to turn
and face the devil.
I began walking away,
until Tatianna grabbed ahold of me.
"Hey,
don't ignore me."
Look, I don't want anything to
do with you.
You screwed me over;
Not to mention the fact
I had to get seven stitches.
I escaped from her hold,
and continued my way to the lounge
until she held on once again.
"Evan, baby, that was the past.
I'm sorry that I cracked your head open
with a lamp!
Ever since I saw you at Paloma and I's
shared apartment,
I couldn't stop thinking of you.
Let me make it up to you,
the right way."
Never have I ever been so disgusted.
Even with her seductive tone,
I wanted nothing with her.
Stay away from me, Tatianna.
"Don't worry,
I'll get you in my pants like
I almost did that night after Cielo's."
Shock took over.
And she knew too
from the look in her
dark brown eyes.
With a wink,
she was gone.
