We attend the lunch at The Loeb Boathouse and then I saw Ralph was looking so fine and he look at me smiling a little. There was Jane, Mark, baby Gerard, and their parents in one table right beside the river. I sit down next to Jane and next to me was Steve, and next to him was Ralph. They all talk about Gerard, and move on to their business. Apparently Ralph didn't run their business entirely, he run a charity for the refugees and also work with the UN.
"So when you back working?" Steve asked Ralph as he take a sip of his red wine.
"Probably two weeks, I'm heading to Africa for five months." He said and I shock and cough, and I quickly take a sip of water.
"How about you Steve?" Asked Mr Ford.
"Well same, I'm leaving in three weeks back to London, I just got the call last night." I looked at Steve shock.
"You haven't told me." I said and he look at me.
"We haven't got time yet." he said and I look down.
"How about you Ana?" Asked Mrs Ford and I look up to her smiling.
"Well probably start our yearly exhibition, less in three months." I said.
"Great, I really can't miss this one." She said smiling.
So after the lunch, we take a walk around Central Park, the ladies join the ladies, and the man join the man. I see they were so busy talking secretly and try to walk further away from us. What they talking about?
"So I really need to talk to you about something." Jane said to me and Mrs Ford look at us.
"I'd better walk with the guys." She said smiling and she left to the guys.
"What?" I asked smiling.
"You know, Steve is a great guy, but you sure?" She said and I smirk.
"Oh Jane, Jocelyn just left, and now you're asking me this?" I said chuckling.
"Oh c'mon Anastasia! We know that he is truly madly deeply in love with you, but do you?" She asked and it stopped me.
"As long he is truly madly deeply in love with me, I am in love with him." I said.
So after the walk, Steve decide to left earlier to his office, so did Jane, Mark, and Mr and Mrs Ford. Left me and Ralph. "You need a cab or a walk?" He offered and I chuckle.
"A walk would be fine." I said smiling and we start walking out the Central Park. "So I never knew you were a humanitarian." He looked at me smirking.
"Well I graduated as a lawyer, then I decided to work as a activist, and now I'm a humanitarian. First I have no idea where to got money, then my father helped me. So now I run for my father company charity, but in the same time in focusing over my work with UN." He said and I was wowed by his job.
"Wow you're amazing. You never told me more about you." I said and he smirk.
"Well you never ask." He said.
So we did walk a long way while talking about us. I did enjoy talking to him more than Steve, Steve is more kind of a guy who talks more about his work and less about his life, he such a private person. While Ralph, he is so open and well really want to let people in. I really like him. So we stand in front my apartment door and we stop there.
"So, tomorrow the book shop?" I asked and he smirk.
"Always." He said and I smile widely.
"See ya then." I said unlocking the front door and walk in.
After I go change and then I feel i want to draw. So I take my drawing equipment with me and take a walk to my studio. I started with a medium size canvas and I try to think of something... Eyes. Then I spend 2 1/2 hours drawing eyes on my big open area and as the sun outside almost set. And then I got a phone call.
"Hello?" I put on speaker cause my hand was too messy.
"Hey babe where are you? I can't find you anywhere." it was Steve and I smirk.
"The studio, I am painting right now." I said and he chuckle.
"Really? Want me to bring you something?" He said and I shock. For the first time he ever ask that question to me since the Netflix thing.
So he brought Shake Shack for us having dinner in the studio floor cause the table was all messy. It was fun for finally since he came he was different. Hopefully he can continue like this.
"So, I was thinking," I look at him as I take a bite of my shack burger. "Do you want to move to London soon?" He asked and I shock my head. What?
"What do you mean?" I asked shock.
"Well I probably gonna stay there until the house is finish, and I was wonder if you want to move with me." He said and I froze.
"Aren't this is to early?" I said and he smirk.
"Yes, probably I need to give you more time." He said smiling and I fake smile him.
As he drive me back home, all I think was, should I say something now? Or wait for the right time to say it to him?
