It's now the next day and I've just received the gift. The painting, it looks so fucking perfect. I love it so much. I still can't believe that Luciano got this for me! Now I can add it as my first ever bought painting. I'm gonna cherish it forever.

"Nice painting you have there." Amara said.

"Thanks it's new."

"Where did you get it from, we all know that your salary can not get you that." Ok that was rude. What's up with her?

"It was actually a gift from a friend and what's up with you." She scoffed at my comment.

"Nothings up with me, enjoy your painting I'm leaving." Ok well that was weird whatever maybe something bad happened to her today, I couldn't be bothered to care that much because I was too focused on my painting. As I continued to admire it, I heard a knock at the door, I went to open it and saw Vincent there.

"Hi, how are you?" He asked.

"Good, ecstatic even how about you?"

"I've been busy lately so I'm just really stressed out. Can I come in?"

"Yeah of course."

"So what's got you all excited?" He asked and I then began to tell him about the painting.

"Hey I have an idea. Can you, paint me? Not literally but can you draw a portrait of me? I know that it's a lot to ask bu-"

"I have been waiting for this opportunity! But if you're gonna be painted then I suggest that you stay still."

"I've done modelling before so I think I'll be fine." Of course he has...And that was when I made my first portrait of an actual model and a real person. I showed him how it all went.

"You make me look so much better, wow I love it. How much for this?"

"Oh no you don't have to pay me, I'll let you keep it for free."

"Something like this for free? Sweetheart, please at least take a 100?" Sweetheart? That's new.

"I mean if you insist." He pulled out a hundred from his pocket and handed it over to me.

"Use it wisely." He advised.

"Thanks, ok here you go." I handed over to him his portrait.

"I'll take good care of it, as it was made by you." Ugh, he can be so cute. No ugh, Luciano. Think about him.

"Well, do you have any where to be?" I said clearing my throat.

"No, that's why I came here, we can watch a movie if you lik-"

"Sorry can't, I have...have homework to do tonight and it's due tomorrow so I'll see you later ok? Ok bye." I said pushing him closer to the door and slamming it shut. Phew, the atmosphere in this room is just weird today. I fell onto the coach and relaxed. Today's been good but Vincent. Ugh, is it bad that I think I'm starting to feel something for him? No that's silly. But I don't know. It's too hard to think right now, I should sleep on it.
