Demitras POV:
After Y/n left, I couldn’t shake off the warmth of our hug, the feeling of her embrace still lingering on my body. When I walked into the living room, where everyone was sitting, I was met with mischievous grins. “What?” I asked them, knowing quite well that I was in for a teasing from the trio.
“You two are so cute!” Eli exclaimed, waving her phone in the air. “That hug was straight out of a rom-com.” “Did you seriously fucking record it?” I groaned, though a part of me was curious to see it. “Of course we did,” Noah said, laughing. “We wouldn’t miss a moment like that.” I rolled my eyes but started smiling.
“Okay, fine. Let’s see it.” Eli handed me her phone, and I watched the video of our hug. It did look pretty sweet, even if I was the one in it. My heart fluttered a bit, remembering how warm and comforting Y/n’s embrace had been. “See? Adorable,” Sunday said, nudging me with her elbow. “Yeah, yeah, I’m going up to my room” I told them trying to sound like the hug wasn’t a big deal.

After around ten minutes, my phone dinged, signaling that I got a message from somebody. I picked my phone up and saw that it was from Y/n.

After two minutes my phone started ringing. That was fast. “Hey” I said while looking at the girl through my phone screen. “Hi, long time no see.” Y/n joked, making me giggle. “Yeah, it’s been literal ages since we last saw eachother.” I’ll just go along with it. “I honestly don’t know how I lived without seeing you for that long.”
Y/n said sadly, making me smile more, knowing thatshewas only joking. “I don’t know. Anyways, what are you up to?” I asked the girl, qurious to know what she’s doing. “I’m about to start a new painting since I don’t have anything else to do. What about you?” “Um, nothing really. Can I watch you paint?” I’m very interested in what she’s going to paint now. The last time I watched her paint, she did it so effortlessly, like the paintbrush was a part of her. “Of course you can. I need company right now to be honest.” “Great, I need company too.” “We’ll be eachothers company then.” the girl on the other side of the screen said as she stood up from her bed and started walking. “Do you want a little tour of my art room?” she asked while practically running down the stairs. “Sure, why not.”
“Welcome to my heaven on earth.” Y/n said after opening the door to a detached house that was in her backyard. Her statement made me smile, knowing that she really enjoyed what she does. “Let me set you down so I can grab everything I need. I’m gonna paint outside.” she grabbed a bucket of paint and set her phone on it before asking. “Can you see?” “Yeah” “Okay, great. I’ll be back in a few minutes.” “Take your time.” the girl started gathering everything she needed to make another picture come to life. I took this time to look around the room a bit.
There was a big island in the middle of the room with a vase full of small paintbrushes as a centerpiece. Canvases and extra easels were neatly placed by a wall. Paintings hung on the walls and sculptures and different objects were scattered around the counter. There were two pottery wheels in the counter, that would explain all the sculptures and pottery. I didn’t know she was into pottery. As I was about to look around a little more, Y/n came back. “Okay, let’s go outside, shall we?” “I think we shall.” I replied, watching as my ‘girlfriend’ carried the phone outside and placed it on something again.
———————————————————-
Y/n’s POV:
I placed my phone on a tripod and sat down at my easel. I honestly didn’t know what I was going to paint so I was just going to wing it. As I was about to start, Aria started barking. “Will you give me a moment? Aria wants to come outside.” “Of course, I’m not going anywhere.” I got up and ran to the sliding doors and opened them so the ball of fluff could walk out. She started running around immediately and I went back to Demitra, keeping and eye on Aria so she wouldn’t fall into the pool.
“What are we painting today?” the curly head asked, her voice more soothing than usual. “I don’t know, I’ll just go with the flow.” The moment I said that, an idea came into my mind. I have a model in front of me that’s not going anywhere anytime soon. “Actually, I do know what I’m going to paint.” “And what’s that?” the girl asked. “You’ll have to wait and see.” “Awh, come on, you really aren’t gonna tell me?” she whined. “Nope.” “What about a hint?” “Not going to happen, you have to be patient.” “Fine, can we do 20 questions then?” Demitra sighed a little in defeat. I not going to tell her what I’m painting for a reason. “Yeah, we do need to get to know eachother. It’s a little weird we’re ‘dating’, yet we don’t know anything about eachother.” I told the girl while coating the canvas in a layer of white before I start the actual painting.
“True. Who’s gonna start?” she asked. “Why don’t you start?” I told her, loading my brush with paint. The girl thought for a second before asking her first question “What’s your favorite color?” “Um, periwinkle” I told her, not needing to think about my answer at all. “No way” Demitra said, a little surprised. “What? Is something wrong?” I looked away from the canvas so I could check on her. “Yeah, yeah, everything’s fine. That’s Sunday’s favorite color too.” “Oh, I didn’t know that. What’s your favorite color?” “Pink.” “Yeah, I kind of suspected it would be pink.” “How?” “You chose your fingerprint to be pink for our painting, so I thought it was your favorite color.” she looked at me kind of shocked. “I didn’t think you would remember that, but it makes sense. Moving on, when’s your birthday?”
“July 10th” “Ooo, you’re a cancer.” Demitra said smiling. “Is that a bad thing.” “No, I like cancers to be honest.” “That’s great to hear.”

After some time, we had gone through 40 questions and the painting was coming along nicely. I got some brown paint and started doing curls. I made sure to capture every curl of hers I see, adding some loose ones around her face too. If you haven’t caught on yet, I’m painting her. My brush danced around, painting curls, her piercing chocolate eyes looking at me through the picture. I was almost done, all I needed to do was add some finishing touches.
Before I did that, I looked at my phone and saw Demitra staring at me. “What?” “Nothing, you just looked really concerned, I didn’t want to bother you. How’s it coming along?” “I’m almost done. Just need to add some finishing touches and that’s it.” I told her while cleaning my small brush. “And then I can see it?” she asked excitedly. “Maybe, we’ll see.”
———————————————————-
Demitra’s POV:
I hate to admit it but she looks cute when she’s concentrating. Her raised eyebrows and slightly parted lips that I’ve grown to like looking at, made it harder for me to look away. I’ve learned so much about the girl in front of me and I must say, we have some similarities. I mean come on, even our zodiac signs are compatible. Don’t ask how I know that, I just do.
“Where’s Aria?” now that I think about it, she’s never shown me her dog. “She’s laying by the pool. Wanna see her?” “Can I?” “Of course you can. I’ll be right back.” Y/n went out of frame and started calling the dog over, when she came back the puppy was cuddled up in her arms. “Oh my Goodness, she’s precious.” I’m literally melting right now. “Mia meet Aria.” “She’s literally the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.” the puppy looked at me before her eyes started to get droopy and she started to fall asleep. “I think she’s going to fall asleep Y/nn.” Y/n looked down, only to see the dog sleeping. “She must’ve tired herself out, she’s been running non stop.”
She looked so precious while looking at the sleeping puppy in her arms, I had to sneak a picture while she wasn’t looking at the screen. “I’m gonna go leave the painting to dry on the counter and I’ll be back.” Y/n said before taking the painting off the easel with Aria still in her arms. After about two minutes, she was back. She took her phone off the tripod and walked back inside to sit on the couch, the dog now laying on her chest. “She’s a heavy sleeper” I said in surprise. Romeo and Gigi aren’t like this. “Yeah, she’s been cuddly ever since I adopted her.” “You have to bring her to meet Romeo and Gigi the next time you come over.” I told the girl in a serious manner. “I will, don’t worry.”
We stayed on facetime for a long time, before Kailea called me down for lunch. “I have to go, Sunday’s calling me. I’ll see you tomorrow right?” “Only if I can drive” “Fine” “Great, I’ll pick you up at 7:30.” “See you then.” “Bye Mia.” the girl on the other end of the line said softly. “Bye Y/nn.” I replied in the same manner before hanging up. For some reason, the moment our call ended, I felt kind of sad and that’s what I’m worried about. I can’t let my emotions get the best of me and mix into this arrangement. Not now, not ever.
I quickly shook off the feeling I felt in my chest and went to the kitchen where my sisters were already sat at the kitchen island, waiting for me.
