1 The Perfect Portrait (Part-1)

" Nate I'm gonna kill you, if you call me again"

I sighed this idiot Nate is such a jerk, Now I need to concentrate on my painting first..

Picking the palette in my left hand I resumed the painting which was left unfinished yesterday.... its been 5 days I'm trying to make this portrait perfect for which I am failing miserably.

There The handsome hunk Jack William's is standing with his vest on and shorts doing push ups teasing me in every inch of my body cells, I so wish to touch him to know is he for real ?!!

Alas, that's not gonna be possible he is 8 feet far away from me... the blue glass of that gym station acting as a barrier for his clear and perfect view.

I completed the painting after highlighting the features of the sky and then looked up to find one gaze piercing through me....

OMG!!!..

Jack William's is staring at my direction...but wait why is he looking over here??!!!

I glanced behind me to find nothing rather than my white curtains flowing along the breeze, I turned my gaze towards my left and there's the attention seeker...a cute little squirrel.

Why will he even look at me...it can't be true even in my dreams!!

Olivia Merchant you are just a simple girl of a town who is crushing jack Williams like other girls...so there's no ways of me being with him.

I sighed sadly...

I saw that little squirrel eating peanuts from my bowl kept on the balcony table...

Gritting the peanut seed with the help of his strong teeth he took another after finishing the first one but instead the bowl fell down breaking it into pieces.

I bent down to hold the peanuts in my palm carefully avoiding any contact the broken piece of glass to pierce in my skin.

I slowly forwarded my palms towards that squirrel to eat the peanuts from it but he backed off a little...I still held it in front of him, trying to talk to him with my eyes which I don't know was wasted or of any use.

Reluctantly that squirrel came forward and tried eating the peanut as if testing if I may hurt him or not, when he realized that I may not hurt him...he started eating carelessly.

Well he was enjoying the treat but I regretted of holding the peanuts in my palm, he was literally scratching my skin..

ouch it hurts bad!!!

I carefully kept the peanuts on the table and instantly blew air on my hand,

bidding squirrel bye I took the painting tools and canvas and left to the room to keep it on its place.

After standing under hot shower relaxing my muscles I came out of the shower after few minutes and sat on the dinning table having my cold coffee only to get disturbed by my ringing mobile.

I swiped green without noticing caller Id which I regretted instantly.

"Now what do you want Nate?!!" I hear him speak through the other side with his ever jolly self

"olive please I need your help...come for me at least.." this is my colleague Nate asking for help on my holiday

" Ok fine but the next dinner will be on you then!!" I said it my irritated to e which I definitely was.

"okk then see you in office" saying so he hanged the call leaving me to get ready.

Wearing a black trouser and white full sleeves shirt I left the room carrying my mobile and bag along with wearing my sandals hurriedly to reach at Leaf publications.

I am a book editor there and today was my holiday which is spoiled by this Idiot.

Argg..

Helping my stupid friend as well finishing some rechecking of some pending books as well completing the other given tasks by my boss who was apparently very much happy of my presence on holiday.

Kicking the door open I threw the bag on the couch and keys on its stand, I directly entered kitchen to brew some coffee seeds...the aroma of coffee released all the stress and tension as soon as it hit my nose calming my nerves down.

After making the perfect hot coffee for me, I freshened up and sat before the TV, watching some series on netflix along with sipping my perfect tasty coffee.

It was not even 2 to 3 sips that I have taken and that's when the door bell rung startling me with its annoyance...the visitor was absolutely mad for ringing it continuously...do they even know about existence of word 'patience'

How can someone's day go this bad??!!!!.... I am sure today's day is not mine...

I opened the door to shout at the person standing there but the words died down in my throat looking at the person standing in front of me...

I blinked my eyes twice to assure myself, Am I dreaming??...I saw him once again ringing the bell which knocked me out of my trance...

"yes how can I help?...I think you have knocked into the wrong door!!!" I said Mr Jack freaking Williams standing there folding his hands near his chest giving me a better view of his muscles popping out through his tee shirt.

Clearing his throat he gazed me from head to toe and that's when I realized myslef being in my blue crop top and white shorts...oh gosh I am in my home attire in front of this Greek god...but what is he doing here??

" Hii I am Jack Williams...your new neighbor...would you mind me coming in??"

He what??....oh no...he is my neighbor now .....I will be able to see him daily and as well talk to him..My day is definitely not bad.

I let him in and saw him settling himself on the couch comfortably

"Well Olivia I wanted Coffee, if you don't mind??"
