Jeremiah in M/M
Jordan POV

August Alsina's "Song Cry" played throughout Miah's Cadillac as we rode to an art gallery. He had persuaded me to enter some of my pantings into a contest. The person hosting the gallery walk picked me so that I could show off some of my work, along with a few other people.

I climbed over the arm rest and got out on the driver side. Yes, Miah and I are still hand cuffed together. I tried to talk him into unlocking it but he wasn't listening🙄.

"Finally, you're here."The host said with a smile, shaking my hand.

"You two are hand cuffed."She pointed out. I gave off an awkward smile.

"He's just a little extra. Just act like he's not even there."I told her. She walked us into the building and started her big speech.

She introduced us to the crowd and I went over to my paintings that were hanging up on the wall.

"I feel like painting is the best way to express how I feel."I told the crowd that was listening to me and viewing my paintings.

"Are any of these up for sale?"One of them asked. "Yes. All of them are."I smiled. Miah made me recognize how much money I could make by selling them and even though each and every one of them had special meaning to me, I had to let them go.

"Jordan? I didn't know you paint."Aleja said, walking up to me.

"Well now you do."

"These are beautiful."

"I didn't know you took an interest in stuff like this."I replied.

"Oh I don't care for it. I'm just here to support a friend."

"Oh, who?"

"Haley. Miah, did you know she paints?"Aleja asked him, making us both look at him. "No, I didn't know. But something tells me we need to go check it out."He looked up from his phone.

"Check it out?"I repeated. "I can't just leave my paintings unattended. Someone might steal them."

"I'll watch them for you."

"Thank you Aleja."

Miah and I found our way over to Haley's post to view her painting.

"Ion mean to raise suspicion but Jordan, that looks a lot like the painting you sold her."Miah pointed out.

"That's because that is the painting I sold her."I stared at it harder. My mind confirmed that it was my painting, not hers. My eyes glared at her. How could she buy my work then try to pass it off as her own. I don't know how I feel about this...

"Miah, un-cuff me right now before I break it."I stated in a calm voice.

"That's exactly why I'm not uncuffing us. You'on need to make a scene here."He forced me to come outside with him.

"She stole my work!"I screamed.

"You'on need to confront her right now. What you need to do right now is sell your paintings you bought here tonight. Keep it cute."

"I want my painting back!"I demanded with my arms across my chest.

"We can go to her house tomorrow and get it back. Focus on what's going on tonight."

"Okay."

She's gonna have her ass handed to her tomorrow, I thought.

"You good now?"

"I guess."

We went back to the gallery and I managed to sell all three paintings to three different people. "Made a pretty penny off these."I smiled.
