All Chapters of Paint me a heart: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Thomas convinced me to go with his car, telling me that its part of him, so if I want to get to know him better, I must see it. It was an old Mercedes, but he "refreshed" it, as he said. It turns out that he is into cars, like fixing them and putting them together. His father had a repairing shop and a car morgue. Thomas explained to me that he was helping his dad since he was a little boy, and those were some great father-son memories for him. Later in life, the music came and flipped everything around, leaving repairing as a hobby.The Mercedes was black and dark red up front and black and dark blue if you look it from behind. Some crazy mix of stripes and dots were making it look epic. When I climbed on the front seat next to him, I was surprised to see that it was very clean, compared to Steven's car which was fancy and new, but dirty as Hell." Any favorite place or particular food that you want right now?" He asked me, as we slowly drove off the school parking lo

His eyes were focused on my lips. My body tingled from the possibility of a kiss, that we both desired. Not that I will admit that his scent was more captivating than all roses that surrounded us. Seeing him, watching me like that raised my pulse to the top of the Crazy scale if there were such scale. It was so easy to just let it happen, to finally feel his arms around me. Shhh! Don't give in, remember the waiter from twenty minutes ago? I moved back, escaping the trans I suddenly fell into. He changed my mood so fast from the North pole to the equator."What are you doing? What shouldn't I do?" I asked, collecting my thoughts."Nothing... just you are such a tease! With your eyes closed, you looked..." He said, looking down."Don't start this again. If you can't act friendly, we can't see each other. I don't date guys that I don't know." I stated."Why it should be so difficult?" He asked, annoyed.I felt how bitter he became from my wor

After an hour or two, Linda and I created our fun Sunday evening. We texted everyone to meet at the school parking lot at 5 PM... with comfortable clothing. Only Tina did not get any text, because I told her when I got home. I also explained to her about the Alex thing, since I did not answer her question when she texted me about Thomas. She, of course, decided to drag me to the mall to prepare me for my new look. We bought some sports stuff and other clothes, she decided she can use it later on me. Tina surprised me when she also asked if she can bring someone. This was becoming a big group, but I told it might be for good.After the long day I had, I finally went to my bed, thinking of the next day. What would it be like? It's one thing to plat it, totally different to do it. I don't care if someone does not like it. I think I need such a change of scenery... probably we all do.The next morning I went to some SPA saloon for "face care", as Tina called it. She was go

On the road to the forest, we were listening to one radio, then to another - unable to stay on a station. Alex turned out to be very picky, so I just skipped the fact that I have my favorite songs on a Flash drive in the car.Our travel took about forty-five minutes out of town. I was thankful to Linda because she found a topic suitable for my date's taste, so we can chat in the car. We talked about strange things that people in Europe are doing. Like they have a lot of walking places. You have to leave your car and go on foot to reach many destinations. "That is just normal for them," Linda explained."Do you know that they make you pay for water in the restaurants?" Alex asked, and we just laughed.The truth is that our maid slash cook is Bulgarian. She seems pretty cool to me. Her dishes are amazing, and she is very polite and hardworking. Sometimes she is telling me stories about her country, but it's pretty much all I know for Europe - her tales.I h

We were staring at each other. He was grinning, and I was testing the strength of my will to resist him."What?" I asked, feeling the heat warming my cheeks."Nothing." He smiled even wider, and I turned to look at the waterfall again.It wasn't high, but the giant red rock it was falling from was at least twenty meters high, separating the water to fall like many small rivers. It was crashing in the pond under the bridge, creating tiny waves, and causing the pink and white lilies to slightly dance. The edges of the pool were arranged with oval-shaped red rocks. Tall willows were dipping their green leaves into the clear water.It was working. A sense of serenity settled in my heart, making me dreamy, and waking my creative side."I will paint this place one day," I whispered with glassy eyes."Okay, shall we keep going? I want to look at the view from up there with you in my arms." Alex stated like I was his or something.He was real

When I turned around to the rest of our group, it was hard to understand what is going on. Thomas and I fast made our way to the bench, where Gregory and Alex were holding Tina on both sides, helping her to walk. Titi had a frightened look on her face, panic clear in her voice, as she stood there not knowing what to do.

Startled, I turned with my jaw open in surprise. He was a tall guy, wearing wide clothes too large for him, hat with visor turned to his back. His shoulders were bare, revealing the muscles of his arms.

Father placed his big palm on Thomas's back to give him a gentle push through the front door. Not that the famous boy needed it. He invited himself in my life with his sassy attitude and charming smile. If I knew how things will change after I sat with that blond guy outside the dean's office, maybe I would have waited just a little more before going there.Do I really want that? For him to have never met me? I doubt that, but I would never admit it even just to myself."I will go and tell Ivalina to cook something fast for all of us," Father said, leaving me with Thomas in the living room.I looked around for Steven or Limping Tina, but it was quiet and empty like even the furniture was gone. It was only me and him. I scratched my forehead, wondering how to end the awkward moment. I was supposed to be under the shower now or even in bed, flushing away this day from my mind."I didn't know you were rich," Thomas spoke first, making a circle aroun

Annabeth Andrews was talking to the class, but her eyes were on mine, while her lips were slightly up in the corners, revealing a dazzling smile. So she knew that I was standing here?

Climbing down the stairs was my mother, my new teacher, the person who was responsible for half of the bitterness in my character. The woman who feels comfortable leaving her two years old baby girl and goes to travel the world.The same one who was standing now befor
