It was going on 5:30 and getting closer to show time. My phone rang and it was Brodie and I answered it "Hey Beautiful I know that you are busy so I wont keep you, but I can't wait to see you and see your art work tonight, good luck sweetie and don't be nervous the people will love it" I smiled. "Thank you handsome can't wait to see you tonight, but I have to go now bye". I hung up the phone and I stood there looking over all my work and thinking to myself there is going to be 50+ people here tonight to see just my art work.

There was a line starting to form outside and I started to get a bit nervous I walked over to the door took a deep breath and opened the door but there was no sight of Mr. Astori or Brodie. "Welcome Everyone, thank you for coming out tonight to view some beautiful art work, I hope you enjoy yourself tonight. There is champainge and appetizers in the lobby for you all so please come in."

I held the door open for everyone I was being complimented on my outfit while they came in. After a while of walking around and talking to mostly everyone I saw Brodie and his father walk in. Brodie was wearing a nice shirt with a blazer, blue jean and boots. Mr. Astori had a nice pair of dress pants and shoes on with nice shirt and blazer as well I couldn't help but smile and go over to them.

"Hey, Thank you for coming tonight it means so much" I told them both. Brodie was speechless. "Shabella you look absolutely Beautiful tonight, you can defiantly dress up" Mr. Astori said while he kissed both sides of my cheek. He then went to look at the art and it was just me and Brodie, he was looking at my all over. I smiled " Are you going to say something" I than laughed. "You are gorgeous more than ever, I'm sorry just lost of words" he held out his arm for me to take it and we walked around I was showing him everything "so what do you think?" I asked him.

"you are very talented Miss. Rose, Everything looks amazing" we had stopped walking and then he kissed me on my forehead "So what about that one?" he pointed over at the one with the sheet. I smiled and looked back at him "I'll be showing it after awhile" I said. "I have to get ready to speak so I have to get up there" I was walking up to the platform where the painting was at. I got to the mic and I saw everyone that was here to support me. I tapped on my glass to get everyone's attention "Hello and Good evening Everyone" as I began I started to get nervous but then I looked down and saw Brodie then I continued " I would like to thank everyone that is here tonight I had put many hours and a lot of paint into what you are seeing here tonight. As you can tell I have a very special painting that I have not revealed yet. I would like to ask for Mr. Astori and Brodie to please come to the front" As they made it there i smiled.

"Mr. Astori I look at you as one of my inspirations for this painting, I have looked up to you ever since we met, from many night studying in your bakery to helping you out I would like to dedicate this painting to you and your family" I looked around the room with everyone watching me. "I may not know what love is suppose to be or if it feels the same way to everyone but i was told to love smart and not to love for things and if you did that love would last for ever and this is what this painting is about.
