I wake to the sound of rain once again. I'm starting to think I live in Seattle, Washington instead of Los Angeles, California. I get myself a quick shower and throw on some clothes. Once finish I head down to the art studio to submit this months paintings. I bring my paintings and m sketch pad with me and drive down to the studio. I quickly run inside because of the rain not looking where I'm going and run into someone. My sketchbook falls to the floors and all of its papers fall out.

"I'm so sorry," I say pickings up my sketches.

"No it's okay Flower it's good to see you again," she says. She picks up some of my sketches and examines them.

"Oh here I'll take those they are just-"

"Beautiful," she says. This is what you should be submitting Flower. These have passion and meaning behind them." She examines the photos and then the pictures I drew of Harry come up.

"Oh those are um personal they're just doodles," I say nervously.

"Who is this?" She asks.

"My um my Harry. My friend Harry I mean," I say.

"These are so good darlingb. Can you submit these?" She asks.

"I sure yeah," I say.

"The one of this women is beautiful. Who is it?" She asks.

"Um Maleficent, but when she was good and happy. Before she suffered pain and agony," I say.

"Very beautiful," she says. "And the two lips?" That was me and Harry but I couldn't tell her that.

"Um just a sketch I did once," I say my cheeks heating up.

"Hmmm I don't believe you but okay," she says.

"Alright here is your pay," she says. She hands me one grand.

"I thought it was $300," I say.

"Yes a painting," she says.

"Wait so I'm hired?"

"Of course you are darling you are way too talented to go to waste," she says. "I'll see you next month then."

"Yes of course. Thank you so much."

"Bye sweetheart and bring more stuff like this next time," she says.

"Yes ma'am," I tell her and leave. After I leave there I head to the doctors office so I can get my boot put on. They said the bone has healed a lot quicker than they thought and that the boot won't be on for long. Once I leave the doctors office I go do my shift at the book store, which involves me sitting down and reading books for 8 hours.

Work hasn't been that entertaining all day. We have had a few customers, maybe in between ten and fifteen. The door opens again after I've just started to clean and what not.

"I'm sorry but we are closing pretty soon so you'll have to hurry," I tell whoever it is.

"So you can't stay open," the man yells.

"Nope it's late," I tell back.

"Not even for me," a familiar voice says from behind me. I turn around and I'm met with Harry. I smile a big smile at him and he does the same.

"Hi," I say nervously tucking my hair behind my ear.

"Hey baby," he says. He wraps his arms around my waist and lifts me from the ladder.

"Harry stop I'm working," I say with a giggle. He starts leaving sloppy kisses all over my neck.

"You shouldn't be on the ladder with a boot on flower," he tells me.
