My Favorite Blues - TMNT 2014/2016 Leonardo story

Chapter 5

After what happend on that fateful evening, I couldn't stop thinking about that turtle.

'What was his name again? Ummmm, ugh why can't I remember his name?' I paced around my bedroom in frustration his name is on the tip of my tongue! I threw myself onto my bed and sighed harshly.

April lost her job the other day, she showed her boss the photo that she took of them and explained her whole story and honestly that just made her look more crazy and her boss fired her without a second thought. She went to visit that Sacks guy so I'm home alone.

'Wait a minute...' I stood up and took out all of my paintbrushes, my oilpaints and tried to find something to paint on. 'I can paint his eyes!'

"Maybe I'll remember his name if I do so"

I put on some music and started to paint away.

--------------------------------

'Just a few more highlights aaaaaand..'

I stuck my tounge out and wiped few droplets of sweat from my forehead, I've never been so focused and steady-handed while doing a painting before. I stepped back and marvelled at the sight before me.

"Wow..." I whispered outloud and studied my painting, this set of eyes had the same blue colored bandana, his icy blue eyes makes his gaze more intense. My heart starts to beat at a fast pace in my chest, at the same pace the night I met him.

'Leonardo...!' I thought excitedly, I finally remembered his name!

I decided to post this on my Instagram since this might be one of my beat works yet. I picked up my phone and snapped a picture of my painting and started to add a few hashtags and wrote "His intense gaze...."

I know that this might be a little cliché but I'm going to post it anyway, I hit the post  button, put my phone in the pocket of my sweatpants and decided to cook something for myself, since it's already evening.

I started to make some stir-fried noodles and as I was cooking, my phone started to make weird nosies. I quickly pulled it from my pocket and saw that it was glitching or having some kind of a seizure. All of a sudden a message appeared on the screen.

"Come to the rooftop the night we met or you'll regret it..?" I read outloud with a confused tone since the only one that I met on a rooftop is the turtle name Leonardo.........wait.
Holy shit this must be him!
My heart sinks as I get more nervous by the minute, should I go? I'm to nervous to go alone but who knows what he might to if I don't show up.

'Shit shit shit shit' I pace nervously around the small kitchen as I evaluate my choices.

I have to go and I want to see him again. Wait what am I saying, he's a turtle for god sakes! Well a hot turtle at that.

I shake my head as my thoughts get the better of me, I decide to go as I turn of the stove and look sadly at the finished dish that I made, oh how I wanted to eat it but I had to hurry so I left it for myself later.

I grabbed my apartment keys, put on my blue jacket and went outside.

-----------------------------------------

After walking around for about a half an hour so desperately trying to navigate my way through the big city of New York with Google maps on my phone, I finally find the building and start climbing to the rooftop.

I get to the top and cautiously walk a few steps forward.

"Hello....? I'm here!" I call out to practically no one as I look around for any living figure.
