SUCCUMBING SALVATORE

artistic

~chapter 7~

The art studio door was open, normally this room is bolted shut due to the amount of important work in here

But today I pushed it open out of curiosity and the show studio was in front of my eyes, I grabbed a empty canvas and a palette of paints

Feeling a shudder of being in an open studio I decided to leave by shutting the door and heading to the classroom where Mr Romano's club was held

"Ah! Cara, you made it!" Says a family husky voice and I look up to see and Romano smiling at me with his shirt rolled up and his tie loosely hanging

"Hi" I say shyly putting my artistic supplies down and I sit on a wooden stool as he walks over to me with a paintbrush pinned behind his ear.

"Did you find the canvas?" He asks me and I nod as he comes closer to me, his hot breath on my neck and I try not to lean closer to inhale his woody scent.

"Yes, I never realised how big the studio is" I say and he nods sitting next to me, his tanned sculpted face inches from mine.

"Yes we have the most renowned art studio in the state, we take it very seriously at Eastwood" he says with a hint of Italian shining through

"Well I feel honoured to have been invited" I muse and he nods standing up from his stool and he clasp his hands together addressing the class

"Ok everyone, thanks for coming. Today we are going to be focussing on doing an artists impression on The kiss by Francesco Hayez" he announces

He shows us a slideshow of the painting and tells us more about the artist and other works he has done and I have to admire the incandescence in the painting.

Only a girl could dream of kissing someone like that

"We will be starting today by looking at the tonal features and colours used, could someone perhaps tell me how the painting makes you feel?"

"Yes Cara" he says when I put my hand up, having no idea what I want to say, I put my hand up because I craved his attention.

"Well the painting tells a story of two lovers that have such incandescent feelings towards one and other, Francesco wanted to paint them"

"Good Cara..."

"But it also also looks like the start of something, the way he is holding her is like he has only just got her and now they're together, they have to kiss"

"Very good Miss Delores" he says slowly and I feel my ego inflate by a thousand percent, "thank you Mr Romano" I say and he nods moving on

After an hour when the club is over and most of the people file out of the classroom, just for a second I watch Mr Romano and a girl interact

He looks normal and they way he is leaning away from her tells me she is trying to flirt with him and he is doing anything to avoid her

So of course it would be best for me to swoop in and help the damsel in distress, I have to snort at the weak attempt of seducing on the girls behalf

"Mr Romano could you help me please!" I call out as I try to grab my half dry canvas that has a painting yet to be finished

"Let me get this" he says walking away from the girl and he grabs the wet paintbrush from my hand and puts it on the side

"Thank you" I say demurely and he nods heading off to walk back to the girl who is biting her nails and watching us nervously

I give her a slitted eye glance and she runs off making me internally chuckle, "see you tomorrow Sir" I say and he nods

"Goodnight Cara"

"Loren you can't be serious?!" I say as she turns up to my front door in a deep blue cocktail dress and a full face of makeup

Whereas I'm wearing my silk pink pyjamas with my hair tied up in a messy ponytail not realising that tonight I was going out.

"Are you crazy? It's a Thursday night!" I tell her and she tugs on my shushing me so my Uncle doesn't hear from his study

"You're coming out, your said you would!" She says with puppy eyes and I look down at my outfit with a gaping mouth

"Yes well I'll help you get ready and then Aaliyah and Brittany will be here" she says and I look at her as if to say, 'what the hell'

"Why tonight?" I ask her and she pulls me down onto my bed sifting through my wardrobe before pulling out a short gold dress

"We're going to the new club, Alistair's" she informs and my mouth drops open again as I take off my pyjamas with her facing the other way

"Alastair's? That place is for rich people!" I say and I can imagine her rolling her eyes at my modesty even though I live in a huge house provided by my uncle.

"Yes well quit moaning! Brittany and Lucas had an argument so we wanted to cheer her up and think of this as your birthday night out!" She justifies

"Ok well I'm not getting drunk!" I complain and he turns around to see that I'm in my dress that feels like it leaves nothing to the imagination.

"You don't have to be drunk but just meet a guy, make Brittany happy, forget that stupid and Mr Romano" she says rushing to put on makeup

"He's not stupid!" I say feeling annoyed but then I realise that I'm defending a grown man and I slump as I watch her cake me up

"You have any red lipstick?" She asks me and I pass her down from my drawer and she applied it, letting my hair down and brushing it down

"That'll do, you look ravishing!" She says and I look at myself in the mirror, "for a five second makeover I have to agree" I say and she smiles

"Lets go! Once we're out tell your Uncle you're at mine or something and won't be back till late" she says and I try not to make a sound

"If anyone finds out about this I swear to god Loren!" I say and he giggles as we leave the house shutting the front door as quietly as possible.

"They won't now calm down babe, let loose, if we're that drunk I'm sure everyone will understand if we're not in tomorrow" she winks

Oh to hell with Mr Romano and school

A/N

so I had wrote this chapter and they weren't supposed to go to the club lol they were actually at a milkshake parlour

but I thought ya know what since Wattpad decided to crash and delete a bit of the chapter I thought I would do that

The George floyd incident is horrible, I can't believe people can be so cruel and for an officer to do that I am truly appalled

George floyd wasn't a criminal. He never killed anyone. He didn't deserve what happened to him- nobody does.

Black lives matter, not now, FOREVER. Please racism is disgusting. I can't believe we still have it in our modern society
