- Yes, you didn't! - I spoke up in shock and turned to look behind me, seeing the man who was busy on the phone talking to me. - Did you like it? - I wasn't sure what his look meant at that moment, or if he was upset that I entered without greeting him, but he still had a slight smile on his face. - I apologize if I startled you. - He looked at me intently and at that moment his gaze became attentive. - No, I apologize. I came in quietly, not wanting to disturb you. - I said embarrassed. - I guess it's hard not to notice you coming into my humble studio. - I hoped that my blush hadn't become apparent at that moment, because I felt my face heating up, I looked at the paintings in front of me trying to disguise my embarrassment. - Yes, I loved it, the paintings are beautiful and show a lot of feeling. - I tried to cut the mood. - Sorry, I didn't even introduce myself, my name is Ayanne Reese. - I held out my mother, and he held her gently and kissed her, making me very embarrassed.

That morning, I woke up at the same time, with the sun beating on my face, and warming it up, unfortunately the day had already arrived, and I was not enjoying it. I got up, took a deep breath and went to my shower, looked at myself in the mirror seeing my tired image, my moss green eyes had deep dark circles under their eyes, denouncing my bad night's sleep, my light brown wavy hair was terribly messed up, from the several hours of tossing and turning trying to sleep. I got under the shower to get rid of that dead image and wake up, untangle my long unruly strands as I liked to call them, took a nice cold shower, got out wrapped in the towel ready to choose any outfit, I went to my closet seeing already a flowered straps dress in various shades of blue was round and hit the half of my thigh, light and cozy. I took it and laid it on my bed, moisturized my body with a rose and cherry cream, I loved this cream, its smell was so soft. I combed my hair and let it loose, put on some light

Loneliness, for many, is synonymous of emptiness, the dark, of a deadly silence, where there is nothing and no one. The loneliness for many is unpleasant, cold, suffocating, but not in my case, the loneliness for me, brought me comfort, peace where for many it would be a storm. But why? Do I think like this? When did this start? I have no answer, but I know something that is related. Should love be a choice? Should a mother's love be a choice? If a mother wanted her child, carried it for nine months and still loves it, why did mine choose not to love me, but to erase me from her life, simply discarding me, like garbage which could be thrown into a shredder and nobody would miss me, maybe I should be angry, but no, these people would not have any kind of feeling from me, I would never give this taste, the marks on my body? I am constantly reminded of this already, every moment reminding me that I am a monster, reminding me that those who should love me, have simply turned me into a frea

Compared to the fiasco that had been our breakfast, amazingly enough when we saw each other at work Draven seemed completely different when he saw me he was very gentlemanly and recognized that he had talked a lot and only when he got home he realized that we had not talked properly, I will not deny that his attitude made me very happy, and so he promised me a more inviting lunch promising to behave properly which in fact was quite funny when he said that, and here we are sitting in a small restaurant with a much more fluid and pleasant conversation. - But tell me, what did you do before you moved to this small town? - He asked, smiling. - Well, I was a waitress in a diner near the college. - I replied, annoyed by this subject. - I understand why you chose Snow College? - He said, referring to the nickname given affectionately by the students. - Well, I thought it was better to go there, because it was the college where my parents met. - It wasn't totally untrue that my adoptive p

Flora cut the cake while I went to make an orange and beet juice to refresh that hot day, it was totally natural except for the industrialized sugar, but it contained a lot of vitamin for the body, and that was what I needed the most at that moment, I put some ice cubes and put two glasses on the counter and took a smaller purple plastic glass to Megan not for fear of breaking the glass one, but for the little girl to feel more comfortable in taking the juice and holding a lighter glass in her hands. I went back to the counter and waited for Flora to put Megan's piece on the plate, and only then I could serve myself. - Did you manage to fix the faucet? - Flora, my neighbor, asked after sitting down in front of me, taking a piece of the wonderful dessert she had made. - Yes, everything worked out in the end, Mr. Black is great with these things, I didn't even have to buy another one. - I said, remembering that I didn't really change the faucet. "Will it be a problem if I leave it as

My heart was fluttering, inside my chest, Ethan had stopped, but hadn't turned around, maybe he was pondering whether to ignore me or not, luckily the man turned to look at me. - Did he? Is there a problem? - When I heard him, I let out all the air I didn't know I had been holding. - Eh, Flora and Megan are making dinner, something called lasagna, I've never had it, so I don't know if it's any good, but they would like you to join in as well, Megan especially. - I was so embarrassed to talk to the man at that moment that I couldn't stop talking, after what happened I pinched the skin on my fingers. - And you want me to come too? - His question had sounded strange to me. "What did that have to do with me? I wanted to ask more like a programmed response I answered." - Yes, of course the more people the better! - I replied with a shy smile. - I understand, I don't think I should go, but have a nice dinner. - Ethan was already turning around, denying my request my mind went into a pa

- WAIT! - I heard Ethan's voice too late. - Ow! It's hot! - I literally freaked out, burning the roof of my mouth with just the top of my food, that wasn't hot, it was just made in the lava of a volcano. - Oh my God, Ayanne, are you okay? I told you it was hot! - Flora became desperate and went to the sink to get a glass of water. - Are you dizzy or something? Didn't you know it was hot? - Ethan spoke indignantly, trying to help me by holding out a napkin. - I-I'M ASOPLEI! - I said while shaking my mouth and wiping the corner of my lip since I had literally drooled, coming out with a slurred speech. Flora handed me the glass of water and took a long sip. - Aunt Aya looks like a child! - I saw Megan put her hand on her head in a gesture of disbelief. - Sorry, I didn't know it still got this hot, I blew on it. - I replied when the burning subsided. - Why are you apologizing? You're the one who got hurt. - Ethan spoke with a strange look on his face. I hadn't noticed that I apolog

Her comment made me smile like a fool, I agreed with my head, and we went back to eating in a lively conversation, when we were full of everything and Megan was practically falling asleep on the chair was that Flora decided to leave, Ethan took the opportunity to also go home, I didn't protest I was falling asleep myself even being as full as a camel was of water to cross a desert, I followed them to the entrance of the house. Flora was the first to say goodbye leaving us behind, Ethan followed her example, but before he did, I stopped him. - Hey, Mr. Black. - Ethan stopped before turning completely around. - Is there a problem? - He asked, just turning his head slightly to look at me, I hesitated for a few seconds before speaking again. - I apologize for... what happened this morning, and especially tonight, I know it must be upsetting for you and... - I started to speak, but was soon cut off. - There's no need to apologize, for any of these reasons, I'm not as bad-tempered as I l
