Chapter Nine

Sick to my stomach at the thought of meeting the architect without any concrete ideas in my head, I thought I’d wing it and have my studio look similar to what Marla had in California. It was the only studio I had to reference.

Stella and her architect, Rocky, stood in the middle of my office looking at blueprints when I arrived. Somehow, I didn’t think it was going to be Stella’s office, and yet it looked as if she’d planned her own design. I wanted to complain, but I hadn’t seen the design yet, and I had to remind myself that I could actually afford the rent, but not much else.

Stella looked up from the blueprint, when I walked in. “You’re here. We were just looking at the mockup that Rocky did over the weekend. It shows the electrical and plumbing, so we don’t have to tear up the walls. I’m not sure any of this will work for you, but come look.”

Rocky was dressed in a tight black T-shirt, dark blue jeans, and wore a thick gold bracelet. He extended his hand to shake mine. “How ya doin’? I’m Rocky. Nice ta meet ya’ll.” A hint of New York Italian accent mixed with Texas twang. I loved it. He shook my hand vigorously. “Let’s go out into the reception area so I can lay this all out for ya on the table.”

Stella led the way. “I’ve already seen them. You sit next to Rocky.”

Before Rocky could unroll the blueprints again, I looked up to see Hugo coming out of the elevator.

Under my breath, I said, “Fuck me.”

Stella jumped up and said, “Perfect timing.” She wrapped her arms around her brother's neck and hugged him. “We’re just sitting down to look at Rocky’s ideas.”

I didn’t bother to stand, but I looked up at Hugo and said, “Good afternoon.”

A barely perceptible smile crossed the five o’clock shadow on his face as he nodded at me and sat next to his sister. Oh my, somebody was pissed.

I threw my total concentration into the blueprints as Rocky explained what everything was.

It was as if he’d read my mind. Just inside the entry to my new space, off to the right, he’d placed a wet bar/kitchenette. “The plumbing’s already there, ‘cause of the bathroom,” he explained. Across from that, in the corner facing away from the window, he placed a desk with chairs. Next to that, a seating area, again facing away from the large window.

I loved listening to his accent as he spoke. I wondered if he thought we had an accent.

“This right here can be wired for a large screen TV, which could also be used with your computer. This way, when you’re showing designs or whatever, ya’ll won’t be showing them on a crap computer screen. Just sit at your desk and work your magic on the computer, and bam, everything can be seen on the flat screen TV.” Rocky looked up to me for approval.

My cheeks hurt from smiling so wide.
