POTION OF LOVE

"Wow” is the first word that comes out of my mouth as soon as I step into the studio. I heard Aunt Lia talking about how well Lucas had decorated the place but I didn't expect this

It's straight out of Pinterest.

The centrepiece of the room is the massive floor-to-ceiling window that brings in natural light and gives a perfect view of the mini garden outside. Just by the window, there's a whole pottery section with wheels, clay and other tools.

A table set nearby with handcrafted vases and sculptures? Another wow

“You sculpture too?” I ask in surprise as Lucas follows me inside holding a bag of some painting stuff. “I used to, it's been a while since I touched the wheel” he replies as he walks over to the other side.

The wall is adorned with a few paintings, each one is carefully hung showing a contrast of vibrant colours along with a few black and white ones

There's even a kitchen sideways, a few cabinets and a counter. A mini fridge and microwave set up for the facility

While the floor is open leaving quite the space to move around freely. In one corner, by an amount smaller window there lays the canvas and the table cluttered with brushes, paints, jars

The overall place looks personal with a touch of modern and rustic decor. A place with comfortable tugs and a couch to sit on. Despite being an art studio, this place is extremely neat.

Lucas did a great job in bringing everything together. Each thing here is a new experience for me. When he sent me a message yesterday, I wasn't sure whether to come here or not but my mood was good and relaxed after an amazing day with Stella. I didn't mind sparing some time from packing

I don't regret coming here though. This place is so beautiful that I am already loving it here. But what grabs most of my attention is his artwork. Never thought I would say it but they are quite fascinating

Without realising I slowly step closer to the table wanting to watch them closely. I knew Lucas was big into painting but sculpturing? That's so new.

My eyes trace the dried clay that's moulded to form a face but they look unfinished, missing some bits of reality. I frown of confusion forms on my face

“Like it?” His voice comes around smoothly, I quickly turn around to find Lucas has already set up the table with the things he brought and now he is standing in front of me, his arms crossed holding an unreadable expression on his face

He continues to stare at me, making me realise that I haven't answered his question. “Yes? No..I mean” I pause realizing that I have shuttered “Why are they unfinished?” I blurt out, quickly averting my gaze to the sculptor
