chapter 6

Chapter 7
Becky waked up from her sleep and she smiled, she liked when she remembered her dreams, especially as good as the one she had, chocolate and a hot model were always good in her book. She extended her arms around her looking for a man that she knew wasn’t going to be there, she took a big breath and opened her eyes but a yellow stick note blocked her surroundings and cursed at the man who wasn’t there.

She lifted her right hand and took out the paper that was on her forehead and without even looking at it, she crushed it with her hand, false promises and second hand phrases weren’t her thing, most men always believed that after a one night stand the woman hoped for a relationship, marry and a bunch of kids, but Becky wasn’t like that and this arrangement was perfect for her.

She stayed like that, thinking about nothing and no one, and she finally took a second big breath and rolled to her side, lifting her body from the bed and walking barefoot to the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and stared at the emptiness that was inside, she closed the door and turned around hoping to see at least an apple or something that could take a little of her hunger away. At seeing nothing once again she rolled her eyes and walked to the bathroom to take a bath, little did she care what the owner of the house would think, leaving a woman he had only met the night before alone in his apartment was really stupid; that’s why she never took anyone to her house and if they didn’t like it too bad for them.

She stayed under the spray of hot water and let the time pass, her friends always laughed at her when she did that, when she lost herself in nothing, when she could spend hours looking at a wall and let the time just pass her by. But she considered it one of her best abilities, losing herself, it was always useful when she ended up with a boring man that talked about something as entertainment as grass.

She walked out of the bathroom completely naked and wet, not really caring about wetting the wooden floor and she decided to just stood there and let the water fall because she couldn’t stop thinking about the sticky note, she really hate when they did that and she stopped to read them after the third time, ‘I would love to see you again and don’t rob me, please’ was one of most stupid things that she had ever read and to save her coefficient from idiocy, she decided to crush them before they did any damage to her poor brain.

After leaving a nice puddle beneath her feet, she walked to the side of the bed and grabbed the clothes that was laying on the floor, she dressed herself in a black skirt and a green top, and the nice black heels her mother had given her for her birthday, and she smiled at them, because she remember her mother nervous expression at the black box that she had put on Becky’s lap and before she could even opened it she said ‘you could change them if you want’, but Becky would never do that because her mother’s smile was the most real thing she would ever had, everything else was just false.

Becky straightened her back and walked to the door, but before she could open it, she took a decision, she walked back to the apartment, she grabbed a yellow sticky note and a pen, she put it against her lips and she smiled.

After placing around 50 helpful stick notes, Becky grabbed her purse a little tighter and walked out of the apartment.

Everything was leave in silence; fifty pieces of yellow paper lay around peaceful.

A noise perturbed the silence that reigned a moment ago, and the little puddle of water that was left behind started to move and very slowly, almost imperceptible it got bigger.

Time passed and the sticky notes moved with the wind that came out of the open window that Owen had left behind.

Drip

Drip

Drip

The noise continued to fill the apartment and little drops of water started to ascend, it was like seeing the rain but backwards, very soon the ceiling was filled and the water took over everything that was there.

Every surface was eaten by the creature that looked like water, it moved slowly like a wave of fire and suddenly it stopped and was sucked in by the puddle that started everything and in a second all disappeared.

Leaving behind only the thing that started it, but the water was just a messenger and the real thing started to come out of the passage that was on the floor, a head with closed eyes passed the surface and took a big breath while he opened his eyes to show the red that was inside them.

Tina walked out of the coffee shop, leaving her friends behind who were probably badmouthing her like always, beauty had a price, her mother always said and she was right. She looked once again inside the shop through the window at her friends who were smiling between them and frowned.

She turned around and crashed against the woman that was trying to get in, she heard a little ‘I’m sorry’ but she could only see at the person that was in front her with disdain, she took in the green top and the black skirt and the horrible black heels that were resting on her feet, she lifted her head to look at the woman’s face but she just smiled at her and didn’t show any kind of discomfort at Tina’s expression, she just said a happy sorry and walked inside.

Tina frowned and straight her back to continue with her way home, lost in thought she tried to cross the street but a hand grabbed her from behind and she looked in surprise at the car that passed right in front of her, for once she turned around to thank the person that had saved her. And she lost herself in blue eyes.

‘Are you okay?’ the blue eyes asked but nothing came out of her mouth, and the man chuckled at her expression, but she couldn’t take offence at the beautiful face that stared at her.

‘I’m all right,’ she finally could move her lips but she couldn’t stop looking at him although he didn’t seem to mind at all.

‘I’m glad,’ he said and smiled at her and she realized he still had her arm around her waist but she couldn’t complain and embraced the opportunity to hug him a little closer.

‘My name is Tina,’ she said without a second thought although he was still a stranger but that was easily to correct.

‘I’m Caz, it’s a pleasure to meet you,’ he said, while he started to move.

‘Would you like to have a cup of coffee with me?’ she asked, hoping that her friends were still in the coffee shop and they could see her with the beautiful man that had his arms around her.

‘No, thank you’ he said while Tina’s face fell at his answer but before she could say something else to convince him, he said.

‘Would you like to see my artwork?’ She looked at him in confusion, until she realized that she didn’t know anything about him so he could perfectly be an artist and he was asking her and only her if she wanted to see his work, so she nodded and smiled at him.

Caz tighten his hold around her waist and leaded her away.

‘It’s just some graffiti I made, but I think it just the beginning, my real work will come very soon,’ the man’s smile got bigger and Tina couldn’t understand what was so funny but she smiled anyway hoping that he didn’t let her go.

They walked through the streets, one block, two blocks, three blocks, and when they reached the fourth block marked they stopped, Caz looked down at the woman who was between his arms and squeezed her tighter, smiling at her and saying.

‘It’s right here, between these two buildings, painted on top of a white wall, the perfect canvas’ Tina lifted her head to look at him and let him guided her to his artwork. They walked to it and they disappeared under the buildings shadows.

I'm sorry for the delay, college didn't want to cooperate with me :P
