The Painter.

Three

Vic's POV

I woke up today feeling like a new man, as cheesy as that sounds.

I jumped in the shower & scrubbed my body thoroughly. I wake up early just because I'm excited about actually getting paid.

Letting my hair dry into it's curly form, I throw on my Black Sabbath long sleeve crewneck & beige shorts, I slipped on my black vans & ran downstairs to get my energy drink.

Now, my papa is up drinking his coffee & reading the news paper.

Papa Fuentes, the only person who still reads the news paper everyday.

"Hey, when do we leave?" I ask pouring my monster into my water bottle. He frowned at my choice of drink to carry.

"We leave as soon as you're done pouring that liquid into your bottle." When he's done saying that, that's when the last two drips of my drink spill into the bottle.

"Let's go."

We were making our way over, I'm would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.

"So are you excited for painting Vic?" I look at him.

"I'm just peachy." He chuckles & turns up the Mexican radio.

I would also be lying if my dad's singing wasn't good.

He was a singing Mexican legend. If that makes sense.

Once we arrive, I'm guessing Ronnie? Comes out to greet us.

I take my fathers supplies to where we were going to begin.

"Hello Vic, it's nice to meet you." Mr.Diamond said holding out his hand.

I took it & shook it. "Nice to meet you too Mr.Diamond."

"Don't call me that, that makes me sound so old. Just call me Ronnie, or Ron." He said patting my shoulder.

"Okay Ron. Well I'm going to start mixing the paint now." I turn to leave the old man conversation.

Aleah's POV

I was throwing on 'Boner' shirt Lucy had given me for giggles. Also matching it with a pair of black shorts & my vans.

"Oh my god!" Lucy shouted barging into my room. "Cute guy outside your window right now." She clearly ran up here, since she was out of breathe.

I finished putting my hair in a messy bun & walked over to the window.

Sure enough ugh he was cute, short, his curly hair reaching his shoulders, I so badly wanted to run my fingers trough them, his tan body reflecting off the sun right in every way.

He looked up & Lucy pulled me to the floor, probably making a huge thud on the ground. But I winced at the contact with my arm.

Slowly Lucy pulled my braclets off & frowned.

"I thought you stopped."

"Yeah I did, for about two months." She hugged me.

But I don't need her pity. So I push her away.

"I'm sorry but I don't need anyone's pity right now."

"Leah, yes I know you've been through a lot but ruining your body isn't the way to fucking go." I cover her mouth.

"Shut up. Okay I flushed them down last week." She nodded & left.

"Aleah! Come down here!" My dad called from downstairs.

"Coming dad!" I look myself in the mirror one more time before running downstairs.

I ran into the painters son. Falling on my butt again.

He burst out into apology. "It's alright. Calm down. But I'm Aleah Diamond. What's your name."

He just froze. "I'm Vic. Vic Fuentes." It's my turn to freeze.

Vic Fucking Fuentes.

We shook hands. "Nice to finally see your face Vic.@

"Nice to see you again." He said winking at me.

Painting my house should be very interesting. Very.
