Ally
With a flush on my cheeks, I add what I now call my âorgasm paintingâ to the collection of works I have in my studio. The evening sun casts a golden hue into the room, a hidden haven Iâve carefully kept away from the world. Brushes, canvases, and the sweet scent of paint fill the air. This is my sanctuary, where my dreams and aspirations manifest on canvas.
After last night, Iâve been itching to paint again. Iâm lost in the strokes of color, the dance of my hand against the canvas, when the door creaks open. Startled, I turn to see James standing in the doorway, his expression a mix of surprise and awe.
âAlly,â he says, looking surprised. Heâs holding a small USB thumb drive. âI wanted to return this to you and you werenât picking up, so I decided to bring it here. The door was open, and I was concerned. I heard a sound and followed it here.â
My eyes widen. Was I that lost in thought?
âI had no idea you had a secret studio,â he says, his eyes scanning the artwork that adorns the walls. âIâm sorry.â
I shake my head and walk to him. âNo, itâs fine. Better you than my sister. Sheâd kill me if she found out I left our door open.â
âWell, I closed it behind me. Itâs an automatic lock right?â
I nod. âYeah, it is.â
He looks around, an impressed look on his face. âWow. This is⦠this is beautiful,â he says.
A blush creeps up my cheeks as I hastily wipe my hands on a cloth. âItâs a place Iâve kept to myself. A place where I let my creativity flow.â
He walks closer, studying each painting with interest. âAlly, this is⦠wow.â He looks genuinely short of words, and my heart leaps. âYouâre incredibly talented.â
A mix of emotions washes over meâgratitude, vulnerability, and a faint flicker of hope. Hope that maybe, just maybe, my dream of being an artist could see the light of day.
âYou really think so?â I ask hesitantly.
âAbsolutely!â he replies. I watch him as his hands delicately trace the lines in my drawings. Then he moves to me and cups my face. âI donât know if youâd like to hear this, but I think youâd be wasting your talent if you donât chase this dream.â
I sigh, avoiding his gaze. âI canât.â
âYou canât or you wonât?â he asks stubbornly.
âItâs hard to explain,â I say, making my way out of my secret room.
He follows me out. I close the door and pull the curtain over it. I can see him glance back as we make our way to the living room. I take the bag in his hands and look inside to find some of my clothes and underwear.
âThanks for bringing this over,â I tell him with a grateful nod. âWould you like something to drink?â
But instead of a pleasant smile, heâs frowning. âYouâre doing it again,â he says, sounding hurt.
âDoing what?â
âChanging the topic just because itâs uncomfortable.â
âIsnât that why people change topics?â
He sighs. âI donât do that with you though.
