Chapter 32
***********
As soon as we finished eating dinner,I got into my pajamas and Damien went to take his bathe as well. All the while he was taking his bathe,I thought of how to get him to paint doing the period we would be spending on the island. I tried searching online for where talented artists can showcase their works and paint to their fill.
Then I saw 'inspired'. It was the name of an art firm where painters from all across the globe showcase their talents in a space provided to the them by the firm for a competition after which the best painting would be selected and the painter would be contracted as well he also has a chance to become one of their best painters. 'That could kick off Damien's career, I've seen him paint and I was impressed, the judges would be as well' I thought.
I read the terms and conditions for signing up,added Damien's informations and then clicked on the sign up button.
"Done!" I said with satisfaction.
"What is that" Damien said,sneaking up from behind.
"Oh you startled me" I said quickly closing the tabs.
"Je suis desole" He said in his ever sweet French accent and continued to dry his hair with a towel. He tied a towel on his waist as well showing off his model like body.
"Why won't you get some clothes on" I said reluctantly taking my eyes off him.
He nodded and went to get his pj from the room and then sat with me on the couch.
"What should we watch?" He asked switching on the tv.
"Anything But romance and horror" I replied.
"Action movies or comedy would do" I added "Why I thought ladies love romance" He said.
"You must've been on dates with a lot of ladies for you to draw that conclusion" I replied eyeing him. "Anyways this girl is different " I added.
He laughed and kept looking at me till I turned his face towards the tv.
He then tuned it to a comedy series...
Damien's POV
"Seraphine!" I called out softly when I noticed her head fall on my shoulder, she didn't reply I looked at her and found out she was fast asleep.
" What should I do?" I said confused.
I tried waking her up but then I remembered she had a long day and waking her up wouldn't be nice. I switched off the tv and carried her on my arms off to bed,when we were on the stairs she opened her eyes and to my surprise she didn't freak out,instead she kept looking at me till I got to the room and placed her down.
She got on her feet yawning and laid on the bed. 'There isn't any couch in the room so I would have to sleep on the one downstairs thank goodness it's convertible,I can convert it to form a bed' I thought.
I picked up my blanket and was about to head downstairs when I heard Seraphine ask "Where are you going?", She sat up and took a glass of water. "You aren't used to sleeping on the couch,so I don't want you waking up tomorrow with back ache" she added.
"The couch downstairs is actually convertible so I'll be comfortable sleeping on it" I replied.
"Stop being stubborn and just come sleep on the bed" She replied covering herself up with the duvet.
"Was her drink spiked?" I muttered. "Would you come over before I change my mind? and also my drink wasn't spiked and even if it was you'll be d culprit" She replied.
'Did I say that out loud?' I wondered. Stunned by her response I got on the other side of the bed trying not to go anywhere near her so I wouldn't be reprimanded by her the next day.
*************
It's a lovely morning,I can't remember the last time I slept so peacefully. The thought of having it be this way for a whole week made me excited.
I sat up yawning when Seraphine walked it. "Good morning Damien,looks like you slept well" She said.
"Good morning Seraphine" I replied still wondering what made her become this nice.
"Alright, brush your teeth and come downstairs for breakfast" She said and it gave me this nostalgic feeling about how mother wake me up for school. I went to clean up after she left the room then went join her downstairs. She made scrambled eggs with toasted bread,she used veggies like green bell peppers,yellow bell peppers as well as other veggies which made it so colorful and appealing.
I sat on the kitchen stool while she served the dish.
"Thanks " I said
"You don't eat onions?"She asked after noticing that I pick them out of my food.
"Yes,it's an old habit" I replied while she nodded.
"I would be taking you to a place later on so get dressed" She said as soon as I finished my meal.
Why does she always take the lead? I wanted to ask her to sleep with me on the bed last night but it was the other way round. I had planned on taking her on a tour around the city today and here she is talking about taking me out. 'But where could she be taking me?' I wondered.
