Chapter 12

Bethany

"Well, that went well." Matt glanced up as Bethany downed her second glass of wine. They had wrapped things up with Jonathan an hour later and headed out to dinner, just the four of them. Bethany was almost glad that the eclectic art dealer had turned them down for the meal. Spending time with Damon, Matt and Erica sounded relaxing, or it might have been if Matt wasn’t sitting on pins and needles around the blond bombshell that Bethany wanted to get closer to.

It would be nice to have a friend, and since there weren't many girls her age to choose from and Krista was facing trial for murder, Erica would have to do.

"It did. I think Jonathan really liked your work." Erica smiled seductively and pressed her elbows to the table as her wine glass dangled from her fingers. "It was a great portfolio. I'm glad you decided to show him the full breadth of your talent and not just have the scenery pieces in there."

"Were you thinking about leaving out the paintings of people?" Bethany picked up a piece of garlic bread from the center of the table and glanced over to see Damon on his phone, working no doubt. The man rarely gave it a rest, but she understood all too well. She was itching to get back to the room to work on something for Kendal that she needed to have ready by Tuesday morning and a research project synopsis for class on Monday. The good times were almost over, but she was hanging on as long as she could. Damon seemed to have moved on already.

"Yeah. Some people get uber sensitive about paintings of faces. Noses are especially hard to get right, emotion is difficult, and everyone has an opinion about whether the piece looks true to form. It's hard, but they're my favorite to work on by far."

"Was the one of the dark-haired girl, the close up, Bethany?" Erica took a sip of her wine, and Bethany couldn't help but notice how closely Matt's eyes followed her. He was into her. Why was he fighting it so much?

Was it the monster in the bedroom bullshit? She had to ask Damon about it later. Surely he would know more than she did and could fill in the blanks for her. The question was, would he? And really... did she want to know more about Matt's bedroom tendencies?

Sadly enough, yes.

"No. It's just a coincidence. I did that one back in two thousand and thirteen." He shrugged and picked up his menu. "I hope it works out with Jonathan, though I'm not sure if working on paintings all the time will work for me. We'll see."

"I know of a certain advertising agent for a great company that's looking for a lead designer." Erica chuckled as Matt gave her a look.

"Who?" Damon glanced up from his phone.

"Us, silly." Erica shook her head and reached out to squeeze Matt's thick shoulder. "Have you given it anymore thought?"

"What's that?" He turned and gave her a quick glance.
