Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)
Chapter 74: Missed Opportunity
IAN’s POV :
The last time Emma and I talked on the phone was probably last week.
We discussed our plans for spring break and that was it.
She planned on staying in the dorm, catching up on much needed rest because she was slaving away through her midterMs.I, on the other hand, was planning to do more work.
There was so much to do with the gallery’s grand opening in just two months.
I was commissioned to make about seven pieces for the gallery and so far I only had three.
I was in a rut.
I felt so uninspired because I wasn't able to see my girl.
Okay, maybe I was just a big procrastinator.
But still, with Emma around I always felt motivated and inspiration would flow so easily out of me.
My life without her was bIand and that translated to my work.
Everything was so bIand.
Looking down at my hand, I was holding on to a paintbrush and the bracelet Emma got me was wrapped around my wrist.
Putting the brush away, my other hand went to squeeze the bracelet, sending her my thoughts.
Usually, when I squeezed the bracelet, she would squeeze back.
It was a cute way of saying ‘l miss you’ and ‘I miss you too’.
Weirdly though, when I squeezed it this time, there was no response.
I tried it again and there was nothing still.
It was around 5 PM and Emma should be done with her exams hours ago.
"Maybe she was busy or something?"
I thought to myself.
Letting out a sigh, I turned away from the bIank canvas and slumped down on the couch.
It was spring break and school was off for a week.
It was the perfect time to catch up on my work for the gallery, but without an inspiration, I couldn't do anything.
This was probably the most important thing in my art career, and I wouldn't wanna half-ass it.
I started thinking back on the times when I was most inspired.
They were always moments when I was with her.
She made me feel things I’ve never felt before.
She made me feel full and art was spilling out of me.
I never had to force anything out.
I started thinking about her and how much I wished she was here.
I missed her eyes and her smile, her kiss, and the way she buried her face into my chest when she got embarrassed.
I missed her little humming and the little dance she did whenever she sipped her first cup of coffee.
God, I even missed the way she breathes.
Everything she did was beautiful.
Everything about her was always right.
With that thought in mind, I reached for my sketchbook and a pencil, and I started drawing.
I wanted to see her face so bad, I started drawing her features on the piece of paper.
I drew her hair long and it was flying all over the place.
I loved it when strands of her hair fell on her face and I got to be the one to put them away.
Damn it, I miss her so bad, my heart was hurting.
My hand reached for my phone instinctively and I called her.
Putting the phone to my ear, I was excited at the thought of hearing her voice.
Goddamn, I'm whipped.
