John's POV
I woke up in a daze from the sun shining against my face through the window blinds.
Finally Tuesday.
This art project only took three days to complete, Woah I'm getting better at art especially since Friday Hercules and Lafayette got me drunk with a horrid hangover that Saturday morning.
I quickly dress up ready to go to work wrapping the painting in saran wrap to protect it as I called Hercules noticing the time.
I was a few minutes late to work.
"Ello?"
"Hercules! You think you could drive me to work?" I asked.
"Dude.. I'm already at work.." He giggled.
"Really? Where's Laf?"
"Not sure, he's probably at work to.."
"Dang it.." I mumbled grabbing an apple for breakfast.
"Bro, Ask Alex or get your drivers license.." Herc shrugged through the phone.
"I failed the test.. And what if Alex says he can't?" I cross my arms taking a bite.
"Then take the train.. Look I have to go duty calls.." Hercules chuckled before hanging up.
Crap. I didn't want to call Alexander, We haven't spoken since that Friday mainly because I've been busy with work. I don't want him to think I just call him for rides.
You know what, whatever! I haven't seen or talked to him in 3 days for crying out loud! I told myself as I started dialing, he picks up immediately.
"Hey bestie! Starting to think you forgot about me.." He beamed through the phone.
I smiled hearing his voice.
"Yeah! Sorry Lexi.. Been busy with work.. Anyways think you could give me a ride?" I mumbled biting my lip.
"Yeah! You know I'm always there for you.. I'll be there in 5.."
"Yeah! Okay.. See you soon.." I smiled hanging up.
I know he's always there for me, Just wish he'd be there for me more romantically I suppose.
Sooner than later he knocked on my front door. I immediately opened seeing his adorable tall self.
"Hey.." He smiled.
"Hi! Just uh.. Let me get my things.." I said grabbing my painting and bookbag for work.
"Here let me help!" He smiled grabbing the painting letting our hands brisk up against each other. I felt my cheeks heat up for a moment before he grabbed it leading it to his car.
Figures.
I walked out my apartment giving my dogs treats before walking to the parking lot seeing Alex carefully placing my painting in the trunk opening the passenger seat for me.
"Thanks.."
He smiled as an answer before hopping in the drivers seat starting the car.
"Been up to that painting?" He asked looking at it through the rear view mirror.
"Y-Yeah.. Promised Washington I'll have it finished by today.." I smiled.
"How's your writing Job?" I asked.
He flinched at the word 'job'
"It's great actually! You know.. I've always liked writing." He mumbled.
Obviously somethings up, but I shouldn't ask.
I nodded softly.
"How's your mom?" I asked again.
"She's.. Great.." He hesitated.
"Y-You sure..? How come I haven't seen her in so long..?"
"She's.. In D.R for a bit.. Family urgency I guess.." He shrugged.
"Oh.. Okay.."
Crap I think I made it awkward.
"Herc and Laf still crazy?" He chuckled breaking the silence.
"Yeah! Have you met them..?" We both shared a laugh.
"Wish I could have came Friday.."
"Don't worry, the only thing you missed was us passing out on the floor.." I smiled.
Time skip..
Alex parked in front of my job helping me take out the painting from the trunk.
"Good luck.." He smiled.
"Thanks.." I smiled back walking into the building.
I walked right into Mr Washington's office on our floor with full confidence.
I knocked slightly before I heard
"Come in!"
I smiled flinging the door open.
"Good morning Mr Washington.."
"Good Morning John, have a seat.." He said gesturing me to sit in front of his table.
"What could I do for you?"
"Art project.." I smiled pulling out art work he requested,
'New York City lights in the night from a higher perspective'
"Outstanding Johnathan.. You never seem to fail me.." He beamed staring down at the painting.
I smiled.
"Did you manage to find a buyer..?" I asked.
"Of course, and as per usual they request to meet you.." He said.
Part of the job is being able to travel. For some reasons all of the buyers want me to sell it to them.
Weird.
"Yes of course.." I nodded.
"Except this time you'll be staying there for a week, Free to bring friends.." George smiled.
"What? That's great! How come..?" I asked with pure curiosity, this never occurs.
"I want you to get inspiration from that city, Maybe staying there with some friends along might do the trick." George smiled.
"Yes, Yes! Of course Mr Washington I will not let you down!" We both stood up shaking each other's hand.
Of course I'll be inviting Hercules, Lafayette and Alexander.
"Where am I going this time?" I asked grabbing my bookbag.
"Las Vegas.."
