Chapter 12

I arrived at my study, opened the door and went directly to the kitchen.

I put a kettle to heat water, I took out a teapot to put my strand tea that I loved so much and, then I separated the frames and the brushes and the colors that I was going to start painting, making a peacock that they had commissioned me and then a lion in Jungle.

Also, I took the paint knobs. I put music on the computer. This time I chose Alex Ubago and sang: “I'm dying to meet you, know what you think, open all your doors and overcome those storms that want to beat us down.”

I went back to the kitchen and put the hot water in the kettle, waited a few minutes and poured myself a super cup. I added lemon and sweetener.

The first thing I did was look at the image and draw the peacock, then I took a thick brush to paint the sky in various shades of blue and then the earth in brown with another brush. I took a fine one and combined the colors of the feathers. I walked away a little to see how it was going.

I finished the peacock after a while and went over to have tea. While listening to the song “A Cries of Hope” by Alex Ubago, I was starting to fall in love because Khan was very sincere and detailed and allowed me to be dominant and be frontal.

I took the cup to the kitchen, washed it and left it to dry and went back to do the second painting of the lion in the jungle. Plus, I put a lot of details into it.

I took another rack. I was inspired and started making another painting for my collection. I drew a globe that reached Pluto and there were sunbeams below.

I was starving, so I washed my hands and made myself a tuna sandwich and had a glass of orange juice.

Then, I wanted to draw the balloon ride we took with Khan.

My cell phone rang and it was Khan who was calling me and I answered him. He told me that he had a very busy day because they started a new program for kids in the company and he also told me that they were creating a new cartoon and he assured me that it was going to be a hit with audiences.

He asked me where he was and I told him I was still in the studio making various orders that he had to send. He told me that after he called me that he finished playing sign some papers and confessed that he missed me. We say goodbye.

I finished the sketch and took colored pencils. I put everything away and washed what I needed, turned off the lights and left my study and locked the door and walked to my apartment.

I arrived at my building, entered directly, asked for the elevator, the door opened and I entered my apartment.

Open the door. Hannah was already gone. It was half past seven at night. I heated the oven for dinner with the lasagna that Hannah had prepared.

I undressed to be more comfortable, took the plate and sat at the table. I got up because she had forgotten to grab a glass of water and sat back down. The lasagna was spectacular just the way I liked it, I finished my plate and washed it and the glass too.

I went to look at where the cats were, who were climbing on their three-story scratching kit. I went into the bathroom, turned on the shower and took a bath. I washed my hair, rinsed my body well and dried myself. Then, I put a vanilla-scented cream on my body, brushed my teeth, and put on shorts and pajamas.

I took my cell phone and there was a message from Noah telling me that this week it was difficult for him to see us, since he is very busy with work.

And there was another message from the miserable Francisco who asked me how he was. But I didn't want to know anything about him anymore. After traveling to Francisco, he was almost missing, he didn't call me to see how he was doing, nor was he interested in me.

I went to bed to lie down. I was a little tired and was waiting for Khan's call. He should be busy so I texted him: “Hi Khan, I imagine you are busy. I wanted to tell you that I'm going to sleep because I'm very tired. May you dream beautiful. I send a kiss. I miss you". I left my cell phone charging and fell asleep.

I got up with the alarm clock, I went to wash my face and mouth and took clothes from my closet: a jean skirt and a t-shirt and some shoes.

Lola started meowing at me. I approached her food plates. The two cats had eaten everything and there was no water. I put both things in it, I poured myself a glass of orange juice and put the kettle to heat water for a tea with lemon and I started to heat two pieces of toast to eat with strawberry jam.

I took my cell phone. I had a message from Khan, but before seeing him I dialed my gynecologist's number so I could get an appointment. The secretary Agustina answered me and gave me an appointment for two weeks later. I took my calendar and wrote down the appointment.

Then, I checked the messages on my cell phone. She had a message from Khan: “Yamila, I apologize for not being able to respond to you sooner. I finished work late and I really wanted to talk to you.”

I replied, “Have a beautiful day Khan.” I sent him a photo of me and many kisses all over his body. And without a filter I told him that I missed having him inside me.

I put my cell phone in my purse and, before going to the studio, I wanted to go to my favorite lingerie store, which was Intimissimi. I needed several outfits and I also wanted some dresses and skirts.

I took the car keys, locked the door of the house and called the elevator and went down to the parking lot, started the car and went to the Kanyon Shopping Mall. It took me a while to get there. There was traffic. I parked the car.

Visiting several stores, including Lc Waikiki, I picked up several dresses, went to the fitting room and tried them on and then went to the checkout and paid for all the clothes I had liked.

Afterwards, I went to the De Facto store, I bought a few skirts and some T-shirts and to my favorite underwear store, Intimissimi, I took several sexy culottes, bras, panties, I paid for them and I went to my car that was in the parking lot, I put the bags in the trunk and drove to my studio.

I really liked branded things, but I preferred to spend on brands that made them in Türkiye.

I arrived at my studio and parked the car. I put the key in the door and opened it. I was very excited about what I was going to paint because they had asked me for a portrait of Athens and another of a Bengal cat.

I left my cell phone on the table. And I played songs by the band La Oreja de Van Gogh on my sound system.
