Art is beautiful. It tells a story, whether is through the melody of a song , the lyrics of a heartfelt poem , the sound of an angel's voice or the steady swirls of a paint brush.
Art is a way to communicate one's feelings and emotions.
He likes it, even if he tries to hide it, I know he does. I've caught him throw some glances at me whenever I'm out and about, singing in the garden or drawing in the living room, oh! Even when I'm on the study just reading.
But the best part of all? He's the one who ordered to built the studio, my studio. It used to be a small guest room, I still remember the day Cata told me about it....
~~~~ Flashback ~~~~
"What do you think? Catalina said as she pushes the door open, "im confused.."my voice small. "Well it's an early birthday present!" She chirps with outmost excitement. I take a step inside what used to be an empty room...
The walls decorated with a beautiful flower wallpaper, there's a sofa right next to the window that has a straight view to the garden. To the left there's shelves with everything one could need for... well any possible art. Paint, canvases, paintbrushes of all types, color pencils, oils and pastels... just everything .
To the right of the room, a corner shelf with all the books one could need to scape reality for a little while, as I trace my fingers through the spine of the books I turned to look at Catalina "I thought this room was of limits.."
She looks at me as if I just said something wrong "what? Of course not!" She exclaimed " just because he doesn't like people coming to his office doesn't mean it's off limits" I smile at her "thank you Catalina, this is amazing"
"Oh well, we know you've been a bit down lately, so we thought way not give you a place of your own . You know so you Can past the time " ...
Later in the day....I'm on my way to the kitchen and stopped on my tracks when I heard his voice.
"Did she like it?" Who liked what ? I wonder Eavesdropping is wrong but I couldn't help myself...
"Yes! I think she love it! Although she was a bit concerned it was that room especially " That's Catalina... wait they're talking about me? "Why?" He asks her "maybe because you threaten everyone who dares to go near your office" she says with a bored tone. That's not true, I did liked it , no scratch that, I loved it! , wait was it his idea?
Without thinking further I stepped into the kitchen an saw him leaning both hands on the kitchen island, Catalina was near the stove stirrings something inside the pot.
His storm eyes met mine, and as usual all breath scape my lungs. This man is the embodiment of dominance just a single glance and I was already wanting to be on my knees for him.. naughty Cel
I take a deep breath and ask him "did you do it? Was it your idea?" I needed to know...
"Si" his tone dry yet the butterflies in my stomach were proof of my excitement, I dash myself towards him, as I close the distance between us his eyes widen just for a second.
I jumped up, wrapping my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. He stood still as I press a soft kiss on his left cheek right where a small scar laid..."you are the best Senio" I said as I press another kiss. He encircles his arms around my waist.
"Thank you" I gave the most sincere smile but what I got in return is something I cherish forever...
"You're welcome amore mio "....
~~~~ End of flashback ~~~~
That was the first time he called me amore And hasn't stopped ever since, I was sixteen at the time.. but now that I think about it he never did call me by my name before that.
I worry about him and for him since he has no care for anything. He's gone to handle some business in Serbia...that's all I know cuz no one tells me anything, you may be wondering how do I know where he's supposed to be, well he told me just the day he left, more specifically Just when he was getting out the door.
It's been four months, no contact....and I'm worried even if everyone says he's fine, I'm not.
"You're going to make a hole on that canvas if you keep pressing the knife on it" my thoughts were interrupted by Apollo.
"Oh" I put the palette down along with the knive "penny for your thoughts?.. No! Wait I know who lives on your mind rent free" he teased.
I sight and turn to look at him, he sits down on the sofa "got any news?" I ask him as I grab a hand towel to clean my hands.
"No, radio silence as usual" he claps his hand together as his eyes search mine " but that not what I'm here for... do you know what day is?" Excitement evident on his eyes "it's plum pie today! So get that pretty little ass of yours to the kitchen and start baking" he says as he stands up and urges me out of the studio.
"I guess you've been waiting all week for this day" I tell him as we make our way to the kitchen.
"Damn right I do, I can't believe you gave us a schedule for your bake goods" he playfully smacks my shoulder.
"Careful, you don't want diavolo see you smacking his angelo" we both turned at the sound of the voice and meet with Mariano.
"He's not here besides she deserves it, she gave us time tables for pastries!!" Apollos wine eco as we enter the kitchen, "you say it as if I'm torturing you" I told him and start washing my hands.
"Yeah you are! I shouldn't wait to have pie just because!" "You're stupid you know that" "Oh shut up Massimo, you know how much time I've waited for this moment" I giggle at Apollos tantrum, then al of the sudden Mariano grabs the flour I had in my hands and covers him with it, oh no...
