Chapter Thirty-Five – The Paintings.
“I want that one!”.
What? I and someone had said it at the same time. I turned to see Jacob.
“Oh, you can have it?” he said.
I shook my head, “I didn’t want to buy it. I just wanted to see it. That’s all” I rushed and gave it to him.
The standard price for each painting was $25 dollars but Jacob gave $30 with the excuse that he liked round figures.
Joey had happily told him his ‘shop' was open anytime, anywhere.
It was nice seeing classmates supporting each other. I saw another painting of a male and female holding hands.
I subconsciously smiled but I didn’t endeavor to buy it. My mom would ask if I lost a knot if she saw a romantic painting in my room.
I didn’t even watch romance movies except rom-com with more com to rom.
“This piece is $40 dollars. No bargaining” Joey immediately announced. It was that particular painting.
“Why so?” Chloe asked. She was almost selling it off at the $25.
