Hidden Passion [+18]

Unexpected encounter

I listen the sound of my clock by my side, I wake up, it's five o'clock in the morning, I start walking through the shower and take a bath whit cold water to finally finishing waking up. I dress myself with a white shirt and a black pants.
I'm an artist by the way, so today I decide to take a day for me and relax in something that I really enjoy, paints.
I get inside of an art gallery of New York and then a gorgeous painting caught my attention, by the way my name is Alex, so as I was saying that gorgeous painting has something, it tries to say something but I don't know what is about, I start to thing but a voice take me out of my mind.

-¿Isn't it beautiful?-
-It is, sorry... What's your name?-
-I'm Marcos, and you?-
-I'm Alex ¿Do you paint too?-
-Oh, no, I'm an tech executive-
-Wow ¿So what are you doing in this place?-
-I just had to clear my head, it's a lot of stuff that I need to solve and I like it but sometimes is stressful-
-That's so bad-
-I know, but I will be better in a couple of hours-
-That's great, I'm sorry but I have to go-
-Oh, don't worry, see you next time if we coincide-
-Thanks, it was a pleasure-
-The same to you-
And without more to talk about I start walking to home, one more time.

I take a taxi to home, I forgot to mention that I live in New York, I open the door and upon entering my home, a simple and minimalist refuge, every space is designed to inspire my creativity as an artist. Upon entering, I am greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, where natural light floods every corner through large windows. The light wood floor adds warmth that contrasts with the white walls, creating a perfect canvas for my work.

The living room is an open and uncluttered space, where a pair of simple sofas are grouped around a recycled wood coffee table. In one corner, I have created a small art studio, with an easel, brushes, and canvases in various stages of creation. Here, surrounded by my materials, I find the peace necessary to let my imagination flow.

The kitchen is functional and simple, with open shelves displaying my kitchen utensils and some fresh ingredients. A small dining table, made of untreated wood, is where I enjoy simple but delicious meals, often shared with friends or colleagues who come to visit. The decoration is minimal, with a few potted plants adding a touch of life and freshness to the space.

Going up the stairs, my bedroom is a sanctuary of tranquility. With a headless wooden bed and soft cotton sheets, it is the perfect place to rest after a creative day. A small desk by the window allows me to write my thoughts and sketch ideas for future projects. The shelves are filled with art and literature books, each with its own story that inspires and motivates me.

The bathroom is straightforward, with a functional design prioritizing comfort. A white ceramic sink and a shower with soft-toned tiles create a relaxing environment. The decoration is minimal, with only a few candles and plants adding a fresh touch.

Outside, a small patio becomes my personal oasis. Here, I have placed some garden chairs and a table where I enjoy my coffee in the morning. It is a space where I often sit to paint or write, surrounded by nature. A small herb and wildflower garden adds a splash of color and fragrance, making this place an ideal retreat for reflection and creation.

Every corner of my house is designed to foster simplicity and inspiration, reflecting my approach as an artist. This home is not only a place where I live but a space that nourishes my creativity and allows me to connect with what truly matters.

In my home, which stands majestically with two floors, every corner reflects my sophisticated lifestyle and aspirations. Crossing the front door, I am greeted by a spacious foyer with an elegant white marble floor that shines under the light of an impressive chandelier. This space welcomes me with an air of grandeur and warmth, a place where every visit feels special. To the right, I have my office, a well-equipped space that combines functionality and aesthetics. The dark wood shelves are filled with books ranging from classic literature to texts on leadership and personal development. My custom-made desk is carefully organized, with a state-of-the-art computer and a view that inspires me to create and plan my projects.

As I move towards the living room, the ambiance transforms into a cozy retreat. Large windows adorn the walls, allowing natural light to flood the space and offering views of my garden, which blooms with life. The comfortable sofas, in neutral tones and soft textures, invite relaxation and long conversations. In one corner, an elegant coffee table holds my current reading books and some souvenirs from my travels. Right next to it, the kitchen is a dream come true for any food enthusiast. With state-of-the-art appliances, a smart oven, and a spacious central island, I enjoy my breakfasts while planning my day. The pantry is stocked with fresh ingredients and spices from around the world, ready to be used in my culinary experiments.

Going up the stairs, the second floor houses my rooms, each designed with a personal touch. The master suite is my personal sanctuary, a retreat where I can disconnect from the world. With a spacious wardrobe that seems endless and a luxurious en-suite bathroom, I feel like I am in a private spa every time I enter. The jacuzzi, surrounded by aromatic candles, is my favorite place to relax after a long day of work. The guest rooms are tastefully decorated, each with its own style, ensuring that my visitors feel at home. Each room has its own bathroom, equipped with elegant tiles and designer fixtures that add a touch of luxury and comfort.

The bathrooms in the house are a delight in themselves. Each is designed with attention to detail, featuring harmonious color combinations and high-quality materials. The large, well-lit mirrors are perfect for getting ready in the morning, while the glass showers offer a spa-like experience that I enjoy every day.

Outside, my garden is a true oasis of peace. With a modernly designed pool, surrounded by loungers and umbrellas, it is the ideal place to enjoy the sun on warm summer days. I have created different resting areas, each with its own charm, where I enjoy moments of tranquility and gatherings with friends. A pergola adorned with climbing plants provides shade and becomes the perfect setting for outdoor dinners, while a small vegetable garden in one corner allows me to grow my own herbs and vegetables.

Every corner of my house is designed to offer me comfort and style, reflecting my dedication to work and my appreciation for life. This home is not just a place to live but a space that inspires my creativity and reminds me of the importance of finding balance between work and rest.

I was so tired that I felt in my bed and sleep like for two hours. After that the doorbell started ringing which brought me out of my thoughts. I check my cellphone, it was eight p.m.
Walking through the door I start thinking who will be in the other side.
When I open the door the guy that I meet earlier this morning was tired for been running. The executive.

-¿Do you have any idea how many doors I had to knock before I discovered that this is your house?-
I stay quiet thinking how many will he probably knock before he get with me.
-No-
-Twenty tree-
-Jajajaja, my neighbours will be so confused-
-I know, that's ridiculous-
-So your were looking for me, I want to know why-
-Let me get in and I will tell you why-

His proposal sounded tempting, but I don't want him to think that he win so after a few large minute I decide not let him in.
-¿What kind of men I will be if I let you get in my house in the first time you meet me?-
-... ¿What?-
-Better luck next time-
I close the door in front of his face and return to my bed to sleep and prepare for tomorrow.
