“Auntie, show them to my bedroom,” Hayden said.
“Yes, this way please,” Auntie said as she led the way.
“That’s the painting, right?” I asked, unable to hide my excitement.
“I did say that you’ll be able to see it when I hang it up in my bedroom, right?” Hayden said followed by a satisfied laugh.
“I guess you did…” I mumbled.
To make sure that everything went smoothly, we went to observe them hang up the painting in Hayden’s bedroom. The painting was large, and the colors made it really stand out against the interior of Hayden’s room. Auntie seemed to think that the painting looks nice as well because I caught her admiring it.
“Don’t you think it looks great?” I asked as I stood next to her.
“Yes. The colors are very pretty,” she replied without hesitation.
I smiled happily. It was a good feeling when someone likes the same work of art as you and you could admire it together.
When the men were done hanging up the painting and Hayden signed for the successful receipt of it, Auntie led the men out. Hayden and I stayed in the bedroom as we spent some time taking in the painting that was now in its new surroundings.
“You really like this painting, don’t you? You’ve been staring at it all this time…” Hayden said teasingly.
“Yeah…I do…” I replied truthfully.
“Then it’s great that I bought it,” Hayden said, sounding quite satisfied with his purchase.
I turned to him and saw that Hayden was smiling at me. The way his face transforms when he smiled is like a precious piece of art in and of itself. I smiled back at him with that thought in mind. Hayden’s face slowly came close to mine, and I closed my eyes as I waited for his lips to touch mine.
Hayden kissed me so gently and softly that I found it hard to believe that it was Hayden that I was kissing. The kiss felt very different from the ones that we’ve shared before. It felt extremely fulfilling but it also made me crave for so much more. The soft and chaste kiss left me slightly confused.
