You're Fundamental/D.Luh

Artist

Nessa's p.o.v.

"How do you like the view?" Damien asks.

"I like it a lot." I say looking at him. He's in the pool, as I sun bathe. I get up and jump into the pool and swim towards him.

"How's work?" I ask him.

"The usual, busy." He says. "How's work?" He asks.

"The usual, busy." I say grinning.

"We should go to the center, and paint." He says wrapping his arms around me. I pull him closer and attach my lips to his.

"You sure you don't want stay here?" I ask.

"I want to show you something." He says.

"Will you paint me like one of your French girls?" I ask quoting the titanic, teasing him. He shakes his head, and gets out of the pool and helps me up. We grab our belongings and go up to my apartment to change. He takes the quick shower in my bathroom, while I shower in Kiara's bathroom. I change quickly and make my way to the living room where I find him on his phone.

"You ready?" I ask. He nods his head.

"Are you ready princesa?" He asks.

"Claro." I say. We make our way out and I drive us to The Center. We talk about our week and the events we have going on.

"Nessa." Betty greets me.

"Betty." I hug her.

"How are you?" She asks. "I'm great, you?" I ask.

"I've been good." She says smiling. "Damien." Betty greets. "Betty." He smiles at her.

"Is that Nessa I see?" I hear Betty's mom, Danny. I turn to see Danny and Sebs walking together.

"Danny." I greet her smiling pulling her into a hug.

"How's everything? How's mama?" She asks.

"It's going great. You? Moms great, she's getting married." I say.

"I'm good. I haven't seen her, I hope I get invited." She says.

"I will make sure you do." I say. "Nessa." Sebs says.

"Sebs." I greet him with a hug and a kiss on the check. It's a habit. "What are you doing here?" I ask.

"I've been coming more often." He says.

"Is everything okay?" I ask.

"Yes." He says.

"He's helping us bring a program to the Center." Danny says. I give him a big smile.

"I'm so glad you are. What type of program?" I ask.

"A poetry kind." He says. I embrace him in a hug.

"Will you teach it?" I ask him. He shakes his head.

"No, I won't Vanessa." He says.

"I'm here if anything." I say. He nods his head. I turn to look at the rest and see Damien. "Guys this is my friend Damien." I say introducing him.

"We met at the club." Sebs says. "I know Damien, he comes here a lot. He has a favorite poem and art work by our local artist." Danny says.

"You do?" I ask.

"Yeah, that's this one about this girl titled Her by S.R. Words." He says. I bite down my smile, it's Sebastian work. I turn to look at Sebastian and he doesn't say anything, his face remains emotionless. He published it anonymously, he read it to me and told me he wrote it for me when we were dating. It was a contest and he won first place for the contest and it was to be published and an amount of money. He told them to give the money away to charity. He has the heart of gold. 

"I need to head out, I have a meeting with your papa." Sebs says.

"I thought Papa Rios was attending." I say.

"Something came up, with Scott." He says. "Again?" I ask. He nods his head.

"I'll see you at dinner, at your mothers." He says kissing my check and say his goodbyes to the rest.

"We're needed in the pottery room." Danny says pulling away Betty.

"So he's a friendly guy?" Damien says making me smile.

"He's my brothers best friend, and he watches out for me." I say.

"Mhm." He says.

"We're close friends, we grew up together our parents were best friends in college. We dated in high school and college." I say explaining.

"I now understand." He says.

"Understand what?" I ask.

"Why he opposed for you to go bar hopping the night at the club, you guys grew up together and he dated you." He says.

"He cares for me, I care for him. That's never going to change, but we work better off as friends." I say. "Don't you have a ex girlfriend who you still care about?" I ask.

"No majority hate me." He says making me chuckle. "I'm being serious. The girl who works with me, who process the payments. I dated her and she dislikes me, since I did break up with her out of the blue." He says.

"So you don't have an ex you still care for?" I ask.

"No." He shrugs.

"Are we going to paint?" I ask. He nods his head and lead us. "Do you have any of your works done?" I ask him.

"I have some. They aren't here though, they're at home." He says.

"Do you have any you like in this room?" I ask.

"Yeah, this one." He says showing me to one of the ones I did. It's a painting about a puppet cutting off her strings and being free. "It's pretty." I say.

"I really want to meet the artist who did it and thank them for the art piece." He says.

"I'm sure the artist appreciate you liking theirs art." I say giving him a smile. "I want to see your work." I say looking into his eyes, he smiles. He take my hand in his and leads me to his art work.

"Babe you're great." I say.

"I try hard." He says. "I wanted to respond to the art work." He says. I nod my head, I know the feeling. He shows me some of his work. He's open and looks in love with his work. I love seeing him like this, he looks so happy to be talking about his work.
