mature chapter ahead

Liana Fair

"Wow" Fabio said as he stared at my work.

"What a muse you have there" he said and pointed to my head.

I painted different blurry faced person, I know I'm emotional as fudge because of my period but I can't risk mine and Euro's reputation. God knows what'll happen if it's both our faces that I paint.

"We will deliberate and decision will.be made known to you guys next week" Fabio announced as one by one panels roam around the room assessing each one's work.

Before I can exit the room I heard footstep following me.

"Liana wait up" I turned around and saw Fabio's cheeky face.

"In case you've lost the one before, I'm giving this to you again" His hand hold the same calling card from before.

"Call me when you have time. By the way I have my own small painting school in Costa Rica, if you could give it a visit...well if you just decide to you know follow your dreams of being an artist" He stuttered and I can't help but smile at him. Fabio is so nice, he's the definition of the perfect gentleman.

"You sure followed your dream" I replied back as I tuck his calling card in my planner

"Yes I did,I'm happy I did. Well I've heard too much regrets from people who stopped dreaming and followed the trend." He said back

"I'll give you a call one these days Fabio" I assured him and he gave me a warm smile

"Sure you will, you're talented you know that right? Don't doubt yourself" Fabio said and walked away. Leaving me at my trance.

I make a peaceful walk down the hall until a strong hand grip my wrist.

"Lover boy is so into you" Euro said, his breathe is so warm as it fanned my cheeks

"Who's lover boy?" I asked

"The lame Fabio" He said and rolled his eyes. Euro doesn't usually roll his eyes so I laughed.

"Let's go" Euro ordered as we walked to his car

"Thought David would be the one to pick me up?" I asked Euro

"I want to be the one to pick you up, no more questions"

"Guess you're the lover boy yourself" I tried to smart him but he doesn't smile as he start his car. Shit. No talking about love, Euro doesn't want any of those. I want to tell him I'm sorry but what am I apologizing for again? oh yes that lover boy comment I gave.

My eyes went heavy and I gradually fell asleep. The next fucking this I know is that we're already flying...meters above the ground.

"Oh shit I'm dreaming" I tried to steady myself.

I felt a strong warm hand cupping my cheeks, of course it's Euro's scent

"You're pale, damn. I should have woken you up" he said

I still shut my eyes close and hold my breathe. I don't want to think how high we are and how small the plane is.

"Listen to me Liana, You're fine. Open your eyes" He ordered as if that's easy as 1 2 3

"Damn! I can't, I am trying" My heart is beating wildly. We are flying, aboard in a fucking plane that I don't even remember getting in.

Until I sense a hand groping my chest and a tongue entering my mouth. Oh perfect.
