Aaron had been mulling this over for a while. He wasn’t sure once he offered that it would be accepted. Well they set a date for the lesson and now he was waiting in the parking garage that he knew was always empty due to the fact they stored cars here that were awaiting pick up. He checked his watch again, it was not a smart watch, but a regular timepiece that you actually had to wind. He had gotten it from a pawn shop as it looked interesting.
“Her bus must be running late.”
Wanda's nerves jumped at every jolt in the road while on the bus. She sighed as she just wanted this to be over with. As her stop came, she jumped off the bus. She held her permit in her hand as she looked down. It was still a little strange that she would learn to drive. The only reason was that she got to spend time with Aaron.
She walked briskly from the stop to the parking garage as she headed up the stairs to the top. She paused as she regained her composure. Her hand ran through her hair as she adjusted her hair. She walked out as she pocketed her permit.
"Hey, sorry I am late."
She walked briskly from the stop to the parking garage as she headed up the stairs to the top. She paused as she regained her composure. Her hand ran through her hair as she adjusted her hair. She walked out as she pocketed her permit.
"Hey, sorry I am late."
Aaron smiled at her arrival as he popped up off the ledge he was leaning against. The bus services around the city were the best that’s why he either drove or boosted a car and drove to where he needed to go then dumped the vehicle.
“It’s fine, if the buses in New York are famous for something is either being early or running late.”
He pulled keys out of his pocket and jingled them. He calmly walked over and put them in her hand.
“You know that car you took from the sleazy guy actually fetched a decent price. That is why we have this beauty.”
He gestured to the 2019 Fiat 500 in what one would describe as a merlot color.

Wanda felt the corners of her mouth curve upwards. She remembered the afternoon when she gave Aaron the keys. She shocked him however that man had it coming. She would not be pressured to give up who she was. She felt that it was better than using her powers on him.
"I have to admit that I love the color. It is perfect. His car had a benefit or two than. Better than his worthless ass."
She walked around the car a couple of times. It was either now or never. She unlocked the car as she smirked at him. "Time to see if you can teach a witch a new trick."
She got in the driver's seat and turned on the car. She fought her nerves down as she waited for Aaron.

Aaron was could tell that she liked the color and hoped she liked the car. When she circled it he waited for her to get in. After she did he got in on the passengers side.
“The aggressive drivers course comes after the basics. I want you to have mastery of a vehicle and be comfortable driving it. That’s the new trick I want you to learn. Let’s let you adjust the mirrors and get comfortable in the drivers seat.”
He buckled his seat belt and looked at her. He wasn’t in a rush. He was here because he liked spending time with her. He hoped she knew that after attendance of her gallery opening.

"So I can drive like you? Can New York handle that?"
She glanced at the mirrors as she adjusted them slightly. She moved the seat around a few time as she found the sweet spot. She placed her hands on the wheel as she looked over at him.
"Hey, how should the side mirrors be? I can't tell if I have them in the right place."
She glanced at the mirrors as she adjusted them slightly. She moved the seat around a few time as she found the sweet spot. She placed her hands on the wheel as she looked over at him.
"Hey, how should the side mirrors be? I can't tell if I have them in the right place."
He was prepared for any questions and decided that he should let her feel out her spot. He would however give some guidance.
“Well that would dependent on what you want. You can put them so you can see directly to your right and left. The second one is you can lean into the middle, adjust the mirrors so you can still see to your right and left but this would also allow some coverage of your blind spots.”
He would wait for her to finish her adjustments before he started on the next part for her. This was going to be the part that would give her a feel for the car she would be taking the toad test in.

Wanda nodded as she adjusted the mirrors a little more. The seat was one more back and forth before everything felt right. She took in a deep breath as she looked at Aaron.
“So how much is driving like the manual I read?”
She placed her hands on the stirring well as she turned the car on. The soft purr made her smile as she looked at the man sitting next to her.
“So now what?”
“So how much is driving like the manual I read?”
She placed her hands on the stirring well as she turned the car on. The soft purr made her smile as she looked at the man sitting next to her.
“So now what?”
He smiled as she asked what else. He met her finish and start the car and put her hands on the wheel.
“The manual and actual driving are very different. The manual tells you about a perfect road with perfect conditions. It mentions inclement weather as an inconvenience instead of a normal road condition. It is very different.”
He let her feel the car for a moment and decided to point a few things out to her about the car.
Between the drivers seat and center console is the parking break. I would like before you put the car on drive to press the gas pedal lightly to feel where it breaks and caused the engine to rev. I’d also like you to press the break and feel it as well. Once you get a feel for those we will start by putting the car in drive.”

She frowned as he stated that driving from one to the other didn’t translate as well. She adjusted her grip as she stared out the window. What on earth was she thinking learning to do this?
She looked over to Aaron as the reminder came flooding back. He was the only one she trusted to do this with. It was not like she needed another excuse to hang out with him. She chewed on the inside of her lip as it meant the end of getting a ride home from him. There would be other reasons to see him.
Her attention went back to his explanation. She tapped the gas pedal as it was quicker than she expected to rev the engine. She did it a couple more times before tapping the break. It felt no different than the gas pedal. She pressed it all the way to the floor as she put the car in drive. Her eyes focused out the window as she guessed it was time to ease of the break.
“One small step for New York, one giant step for me. Gods this is insane. I’m doing this because it’s you.”

He laughed as she uttered he phrase and just smiled as she put the car in drive and started them off. It was just an idle movement from the car being in drive but enough for her to feel the car.
“That’s good get a feel for how the car turns and responds before applying some gas. Oh and release the parking break as well.”
He needed her to build some confidence here before they went out on the road.
“That’s good get a feel for how the car turns and responds before applying some gas. Oh and release the parking break as well.”
He needed her to build some confidence here before they went out on the road.
“Don’t you think we need a little gas for the turning?”
She was not trying not to question his methods. She looked down as her cheeks grew red. The parking break was still on. It took a moment before she was able to release it.
Her hands gripped the steering while it moved forward. The motion was a little strange being in the other side of the car. She took in a deep breath breath as she turned the wheel slightly.
“Maybe I’m only meant to be a passenger. This is weird.”

“Maybe I’m only meant to be a passenger. This is weird.”
“Yes apply a little gas to give us a bit more motion.”
Once she did that the car started moving. He was still relaxed but ready just in case they came to close to a wall.
“Alright at this speed start making loops around the top. Let’s take it easy for a moment. Then we will add some speed and go from there.”

“Alright at this speed start making loops around the top. Let’s take it easy for a moment. Then we will add some speed and go from there.”
She took in a deep breath as the car started to move all by itself. Her knuckles were still white as she tried to force herself to relax.
Her foot slipped a little as it jetted forward. Her eyes were wide as she swung the car to the left. She let out squeak in the moment. The car rolled a little as she turned the other way.
“I think this speed is good. Faster seems nerve wracking.”

“I think this speed is good. Faster seems nerve wracking.”
He smiled as she felt the car leap. New cars were hungry to be tested. He wasn’t nervous at all. This was about her comfort. After she said she she liked this speed he was good with that statement.
“Tale your time. You want to know how the vehicle feels when you are turning it. With time will come speed. So enjoy this.”
He would let her build up that confidence.
“How does the car feel? Is it pulling a certain direction of is it smooth?”
“Tale your time. You want to know how the vehicle feels when you are turning it. With time will come speed. So enjoy this.”
He would let her build up that confidence.
“How does the car feel? Is it pulling a certain direction of is it smooth?”
She glanced at him through the corner of her eye. There was something about his statement which she found funny. She couldn’t help herself as she made the sarcastic comment.
“Uhhuh, slow is good for you? I have been around when you take off like a bullet.”
She pressed the brake as the car rocked back and forth. She took in a deep breath as she closed her eyes. It was hard to tell if this was worse when dealing with her father or a gallery. All she knew was this scared kitten act was not like her. After all, she couldn’t rely on him to always be able to give her a ride.
“Sorry, this is a lot to take in. Silly me for just thinking I would be in the driver’s seat. Promise you won’t let me crash the car?”
She took in another breath as she released the brake. She was going to do this one way or another, maybe not prefect the first time. She tapped the gas as the car started to roll a little faster. She let it go straight and then looped around the top. Her knuckles relaxed a little as driving was not that bad.
“I think it feels like any other. Are you feeling any pull?”
“Uhhuh, slow is good for you? I have been around when you take off like a bullet.”

“I think it feels like any other. Are you feeling any pull?”
“Uhhh slow is good for you. It builds up your ability to feel the vehicle. As for it pulling I wouldn’t be able to tell. The driver would be able to tell. I did have it checked for alignment so it wouldn’t pull.”
He leaned over and whispered in her ear softly.
“I will not let you crash. That is something that would make you unhappy. I don’t want you unhappy. It would make me feel bad.”
He truly would feel bad if she wrecked her confidence with a crash. He would help her avoid it at all costs.
He leaned over and whispered in her ear softly.

She nodded her head as she kept up her loops. She figured she would learn in time if something was off with the car. She kept her eyes focused in front, as the car gained a little more speed.
A shiver ran down her spine as he whispered in her ear. Her hands slipped from the wheel as she looked over at him. Her heart seemed to beat in her throat. There was an odd change, just uncertain of what it was.
“It’s good to hear. I would hate to have all your hard work to go to waste.”
She tucked some of her hair behind her ear, unsure what to do. She rubbed her wrists as the bangles clanged together. She pushed down the butterflies. She suddenly jerked the wheel to avoid the edge.
“Okay that was close. Maybe after the lesson, we can get some coffee?”

“Okay that was close. Maybe after the lesson, we can get some coffee?”
He nodded to her and had been aware of her hands coming off the wheel. He glanced out of the corner of his eye to ensure he would have time to save them. He was still close when he replied the same way.
“You’re not wasting anything. I’m more than happy to be here for you.”
Wanda reestablished control before they hit the ledge. They would have been fine with the speed they were moving.
“Don’t get nervous....I’m here. You’re doing fine. We can get some coffee but let’s go check out this space I’ve found. You will like it. After that we can get coffee.”
He had a surprise for her and it would be truly epic.

He had a surprise for her and it would be truly epic.
Her heart was beating in her chest, surprised that Aaron couldn't hear it. She brought the car to a stop. She was happy that he didn't know how those whispered words effected her. She leaned her head against the steering wheel. She put her hands in her lap, letting everything settle down.
"Thanks, I appreciate it."
She let her hair keep her face covered as she took in deep breaths. She needed to regain her focus once more. Though it begged the question on the strange hold on her. She wanted to sink through the ground.
Like always, the thought of coffee perked her up once again. It was even more exciting that it was a new place as well. She had her shop however it was fun to see what others offered. She sat back up with her face neutral.
"I'm game. I figured a nice treat is what is needed. Do I get a hint as to where we are going?"

When the car stopped he grew worried and when she raised her head again he let it wind down but still it was there. Wanda’s thanks calmed him fully.
“You’re welcome and I would have done it regardless. Wanda you’re someone I find I can be myself with.”
He was truly feeling comfortable in his own skin for once in his life. She was the catalyst. He didn’t want to put up a front with her.
“Unfortunately it is a true surprise for you. I have nearly spoiled it three times in my eagerness to tell you.”
What it he had come across when scouting locations was an unknown studio space of Andy Warhol’s. It was a building he had been eyeing anyways. He and Andrew had done a ton of illegitimate people a lot of favors and some now held positions of power within the city. It had been authenticated as the place had been nearly untouched. Now he was the owner of the building and had it remodeled. Again favors for the favors he and Andrew had done. They wouldn’t run out of favors anytime soon.

Wanda turned every so slightly from Aaron to hide the blush that formed on her cheeks. What was happening today? Where all those strangers correct that they really should just admit they were attracted to each other and have sex. She glanced at him through the curtain of her hair. It was not to say the thought would randomly pop in.
She stared down at her hands as she cleared her throat. It was hard to form words while she felt that the world was staring at her. She would do what felt natural to her.
"It is nice to know that we can be relaxed around each other. I think you are the only one who knows the various aspects of my life. Hell, no one else has really come to see my work."
The talk of the surprise brought things down to earth. She gave him a slight poat with her lower lip. "What not even a hint? I suppose it's motivation to keep the lesson going."

“As long as your comfortable I’ll be comfortable. If I do something to upset you tell me.”
When she turned away he didn’t ask only let it happen. He wasn’t going to make her self conscious and let her look back at him.
“I enjoy your work. It’s great work. I@communicates your feelings on the canvas. That piece that sold last showing was one of my favorites you’ve done recently. The buyer was spot on when they said they felt your emotions.”
He shook his head at her when she asked again. She would like it.
“Please just let it be a surprise. I feel like you need this surprise.”

"We're good friends, so you can tell me if I cross a line too. It is only fair, right?"
She pushed what she was feeling back as she was unsure how else to put things. All she knew is that she didn't want to give up what they had. There was no one else really willing to teach her how to drive or be as patient as him.
She put the car in park as her face stayed warm. She straightened her back as she turned towards him. Their conversation flows this naturally which was amazing.
"Well it is how I express all those pent up emotions. That and my blog. And I will let it be a surprise for now. I suppose that means we should get back to the lesson."
She bit back the burning question she had. It would ruin the moment which was something she didn't want to do. There would be a time and a place.

He felt the same kinship she felt but he also felt a bit more for her. He was trying to feel this out with Wanda. She was very different from any other woman he had met. That in his mind was a good thing.
“It’s a wonderful outlet and it’s better than what I do to express myself. I throughly enjoy seeing your works.”
He didn’t want to rush her to drive again. He wanted her to want to drive. They had plenty of time today. It wasn’t going anywhere.
“If you’d like. The lesson is going well. You’re going to bet the hang of it. Then we can start going up and down the empty parking garage.”

She pushed the burning question back as the conversation went to were it felt nice. She put the car in drive again as she slowly took off. She was getting a decent feel for things.
“We all have our outlets. Not to worry, I will break you out of jail if need be.”
She gave him a quick wink before heading down the ramp. She liked how empty it was. She took the curves at a decent pace as her foot rested on the break.
“How about a few of these and then on to other things. Unless you are going to have me drive with actual people around.”
While her focus was on the ramp, the question crept back up. She glanced at him, wondering what he would think. Curiosity burned to know.
“Can I ask you a personal question, what goes on between Larissa and you? Not that I care that much, just curious. You two seem pretty tight. I would hate for her to be jealous, knowing how much time we spend together.”
There she said it. The round about way to ask if you are single. She tried to keep hidden how much she cared.

He lighted at the offer of her springing him from jail. He had never thought she would do it or let alone make the offer.
“I’ll ensure your my one phone call. I know you’ll spring me.”
The question of road driving was a decent one. She wasn’t ready for that yet but after a bit more time here she would be.
“We are going to do a few more lessons here before we go out onto the road. I want you extremely comfortable with the car and how it reacts.”
That was a personal question indeed. Larissa was a complicated person and well they had their fun but nothing serious. He was also being pushed by her to find another person who wasn’t like her.
“We’re friends and sometimes we act foolish together but beyond that we just drink and have fun.”
He smiled at her. Larissa rarely got jealous about anything other than a vehicle he was driving and she would usually steal it foe the day.

She smiled and gave him a wink as she was his got out of jail free card. There might have been a time where she didn’t care however that was in the past. They were similar.
“Well good to the phone call. I will let you drive to our destinations. Maybe we can pick up the lesson in a couple of days. Paying bills is a good thing.”
She headed back up the ramp as the gas pedal was pushed a little more. She bit her lip, as he described the relationship. It was close to friends with benefits. She chewed on her bottom lip before she replied.
“Well it sounds like you and Larissa are close. She is one of a kind, sorta pushy. I can never tell if she likes or hates me. Though I think she and your brother are plotting something.”

He nodded to her as she decided she had drove enough for today. He wouldn’t disagree. Her comfort was what he wanted but he would not take no for an answer on further lessons.
“It’s nice to know you’re eager for another lesson. What day?”
His relationship with Larissa was a good one. They tended to gravitate toward each other and now she had pushed him to Wanda.
“We are and it’s been the three of us. I mean she considers me her number one for her gang. She doesn’t hate you at all.”
She was a bit difficult to read sometimes.
“They are always up to something. I hope it doesn’t land them in mutant jail.”
He laughed.

He laughed.
She finished driving up the ramp. A smile crossed her lips as he agreed. It was nice to have another reason to spend time together. It’s not like they needed another.
She put the car in park once they reached the top. She let her hands slide down the wheel as she looked over to him. She mentally went over her schedule before she answered.
“How about Saturday? I don’t want to forget everything.”
She looked over to him as he explained a little more of the relationship. She felt relief knowing Larissa was okay with her. She laughed at the comment.
“Those two are trouble. Not sure if We could rescue them. I mean after all, Andrew was the one who set us up for the date. I get the feeling that Larissa is trying something as well.”
There date was not too long ago and fun. She almost wished they went again, just nervous to ask. She honestly figured that he would say no or that she was not his type.
“So you wanna take this car or a different one?”
She put the car in park once they reached the top. She let her hands slide down the wheel as she looked over to him. She mentally went over her schedule before she answered.
“How about Saturday? I don’t want to forget everything.”

“So you wanna take this car or a different one?”
He nodded about Saturday. He was free as he hadn’t been contacted to get anything for anyone.
“That works.”
He laughed a bit at her assessment of his brother and Larissa.
“They are trouble but better that they help each other.”
He shook his head.
“I wouldn’t try. They’d figure out an escape.”
She was always up to something. It didn’t surprise him that she drug his brother in on it.
“Again she’s always up to something. It’s in her nature.”
He seemed thoughtful for a moment.
“We’ll take mine. This one will be fine here. Let’s go.”
“That works.”
He laughed a bit at her assessment of his brother and Larissa.

“We’ll take mine. This one will be fine here. Let’s go.”
She laughed as they agree not to rescue the other two. She dropped her questioning as it seemed she was not getting anywhere. It really didn't matter in the end. She opened her door as she took out the keys.
"Your car it is. Do you think I need to park it in a spot or is the middle going to be okay? I just ask as the place is pretty empty to begin with."
"Your car it is. Do you think I need to park it in a spot or is the middle going to be okay? I just ask as the place is pretty empty to begin with."
“Leave it in the middle. Unless you want to practice parking it. Then you can.”
As they got out he came around and when she tried to hand him the keys he shook his head.
“Nope, that’s a legitimately purchased vehicle. When we finish it’s yours, because you will need one for a license.”
Oh he caught her intent but he wasn’t going to say anything about it until they got to the surprise. He came over and offer his hand to her. He hoped she took it.
“You ready?”
His hand would answer her questions, at least he hoped it would for her.

She nodded her head as she got out of the car. She was not in the mood to try parking. She felt that it was another hurdle to go through. Coffee was calling her name. She was taken back when he insisted she keep the keys after getting out.
"Well, I know better than to argue with you. What if after I get my lisence, I buy it from you for a dollar."
She gave him a wink. Things were good between them as she nodded her head. It took a moment before her mind registered the hand offered. She chewed the inside of her lip as she took it. She might have been reading things wrong. There was a reason that she avoided people and relationships for the most part. Things got complicated and hard to read.
As her hand slipped into his, it felt natural. She didn't mind being close to him. She gave him a half smile as she would go with the flow of things.
"Coffee and the surprise. You will have to let me know if I need to be blindfolded for the surprise." She giggled after that part.

He seemed to be considering the whole idea of letting her buy the car. He figured he wouldn’t agree with this right now.
“I’ll think about it over the course of our lessons.”
When she took his hand he felt something that he thought he wouldn’t feel at someone’s acceptance of his hand. He felt excitement at what that simple gesture meant to him. As they started walking down the ramp toward where he parked he would give her a small detail.
“Surprise first and then coffee. We will be taking a drive and pass many coffee shops on the way there but there is one I want to visit near our destination.”
It had been a short walk to the car. He hit the auto locks and unlocked it.

She rolled her eyes at his thinking about it. She found that it was a fair trade. She was never the type to take anything for free.
“I suppose I don’t have much of a say now, huh? Hopefully after a few more lessons, you will have an answer.”
It was an odd feeling as the sensation was natural as they joined hands. She walked by him as they headed down the ramp. She adjusted her bag. She frowned slightly as the plan changed a bit. She was hoping for the bitter tasting liquid.
“I suppose that works. I’m rather curious about what you have in store.”
She easy slid into the passenger seat. It felt good to be in her rightful place. She glanced over at him as she put on her seatbelt.

He shrugged as she seated herself in the car and buckled up. He smiled at her.
“Again I will think about it. Who knows by then you may have worn me down.”
He smiled as he fired up the car and put it in gear. He took off out of the parking lot. They had the usual traffic. It was an hour to SoHo. He smiled as they came to stop in front of what Wanda would know as a painters loft on the edge of SoHo.
“Someone very serious about the acquisition of new work is meeting us here. You know her in your circles and met her at the Christmas Art get together. Melissa Eurodyce. She likes your work.”

She smirked at him. "Oh I plan on wearing you down. After all, I have an image to keep up."
She laughed as she settled into her seat. It was nice to not have to worry about all the entracies of driving at the moment. She sighed as she looked out the window looking at the buildings fly by. She was used to his driving by now. Her eyes fluttered closed as the time passed. She had not really been sleeping well as her nightmares had been getting worse.
As he spoke after the comfortable silence, she took in a deep breath and looked over at him. She stretched slightly as she sat a little straighter. It took a moment to realise where they were. Her eyes grew wide as her full attention was on him.
"Well I know of her. Not all artists know each other. Her influence is huge as she tends to know the up and coming trends. I have heard a few people come to the store who have met her and made it big. How did you make this meeting happen? Gods, I am so under prepared for this as it's like a job interview."

The woman wasn’t anywhere to be seen as he pulled into the alley that let them into a small garage area. It was open and Melissa was standing there. She looked either ready to frown or smiled.
“I guess she’s early. I told her 2:30 PM and it’s only 2. Well let’s go see what she thinks.”
As he parked the car he took Wanda’s hand and gave it a squeeze.
“I’ll let you know about the car after this. Plus this loft space had a bunch of paintings by Andy Warhol all over the walls. I had them clear coated. They aren’t his normal stuff. It’s pictures of him painting people in various states of what I can only call shapeshifting.”
He hoped that she didn’t blow a gasket about what she was going to find upstairs. He had secretly moved a few pieces of her work there since he kind of had access to it at the house and she had others stored in the attic of the boarding house.

Wanda felt her nerves start to fray as she looked at the woman standing in the garage area. She was unsure about what she was going to do until he took her hand. It was a reminder that someone was in her corner.
Her eyes blinked as she looked over to him. She rubbed a temple as she sighed. She could maybe handle talking about someone else's work. She was unsure what she would do about her own. It was hard to describe the motivation behind it all.
"Well if it is just the meeting of the minds. Shall we get this over with?"
She got out of the car as she adjusted her clothing. She pushed the tired parts of her out of mind as she was happy they hadn't gotten coffee just yet. She put on a smile as she walked over, hiding her nerves as she wiped the sweat from her hands.

“Wanda Maximoff?”
The woman’s face lit up with a bright and pleased smile as they approached and she extended her hand.
“I’ve been upstairs and I have to say the work I’ve seen so far has me intrigued. I’d like your take on when you’d like to show some of the pieces I’ve seen?
Aaron smiled sheepishly at Wanda. He didn’t expect her to poke around before they go there.

Aaron smiled sheepishly at Wanda. He didn’t expect her to poke around before they go there.
Wanda shook the woman’s hand as she nodded. Her jaw dropped slightly at the compliment. It was an unexpected job interview which she was happy not to have coffee breath.
She glanced over at Aaron, unsure if she should be annoyed or grateful. She would decide afterwards. It was a lot to take in. She cleared her throat as she nodded.
“Thank you, I appreciate it. I tend to have challenge my feelings into my art. I would love to talk to you more about the pieces. Aaron, can you please show us to the pieces?”
Her voice was stranded as she kept a smile on. They would have a talk about burrowing pieces without asking. It was not like she would say no.

Melissa gave a favorable smile as Aaron’s name was mentioned and she graced him with a pleased glance.
“You should be thanking Aaron’s eye. The pieces of your work he has put on display here are ones I wish to show. I’d of course need your permission.”
Aaron could feel the bit of anger that Wanda had for him as Melissa started walking inside again. Aaron didn’t dawdle as he started off with Wanda in tow and they climbed on the freight elevator. The ride was quick to the third story where the pieces were. The sight that awaited them was three very large windows that gave outstanding light.
“Wanda this space with this light is just outstanding! Where have you been working prior to this?”
“You should be thanking Aaron’s eye. The pieces of your work he has put on display here are ones I wish to show. I’d of course need your permission.”

“Wanda this space with this light is just outstanding! Where have you been working prior to this?”
Wanda’s attention turned back Melissa as she let part of her smile fade slightly. Mixed emotions swirled around as she fought for control.
She kept her thoughts to herself about Aaron and his eye. She didn’t doubt his taste, just not the fair warning of what happened. She followed both of them up as she chewed her bottom lip.
She had to quickly recover as she stepped out of the elevator. The space was amazing as the view was breath taking. She walked up to the window as she stared out.
She turned back around as the woman spoke to her. She cleared her throat as she regained her composure. Her head was feeling a little light headed as she thought about her answer.
“I have been working in a run down house with a few others. There was not a lot of space unlike here.”

Melissa didn’t seem bothered by that at all. She liked it as she nodded at her answer. Oh this woman was gold to be sure.
“You’re husband? Boyfriend? Partner? Whatever said he knew an artist seeking some exposure and shows me a piece of your work at the Christmas Eve Art Discussion. I’ve seen Aaron a few times there and understand why he always turned me down for dinner.”
Aaron was now internally cringing at Melissa. She was a talker and she had power to get Wanda’s art shown and sold. Now he was regretting being here when he wouldn’t have a chance to run.

Wanda felt her cheeks get warm when she mentioned that Aaron and her might have a romantic relationship. Jealous came up behind her as Melissa asked him out. It made her realise how common it might be for Aaron to be asked for a date while she figured out her feelings.
She bit her tongue as she turned to look at the pieces which were brought.
It was funny as these were some of the ones she showed at her last gallery. She walked down the line eyeing each one as a finger trailed on them. A thought occurred to her. She turned back to Melissa as the smile reached her eyes.
"I accept your offer with the showing. I am just humbled that you enjoy these pieces. I have quite a few more at my house which my partner has not seen. This other client of yours what sort of style? I want to pick a handful that compliment as well as stand out from the others. You may have what you want from here or we can set a date closer to the date while I get some variety for you to pick from."
“Ms. Maximoff I suggest you work there when you are tired of this space. It enriches your art. Now I want to ask you the million dollar question. How may of these pieces can be shown. I want to take them all but I want a select few to garner interest first at one of my other clients showings. That way if we get them then we will show more of your work. Let me PLEASE have you as a client! Please!”
She contained her enthusiasm as she waited for Wanda’s answer.

Aaron felt as if he should slip off and leave them to talk but that may be when he would find Melissa would really start talking. He was save when Melissa spoke up.
“Post modern cubist mess. I mean it sells but it doesn’t hold the pure energy yours holds and conveys. Art should stir your soul and evoke something. All his evokes is my bank account going up. I suppose that’s not bad but you have something.”
She smiled as she walked up to the space looking one.
“What inspired this one? It evokes a feeling of endlessness in me.”

Wanda kept her eye on Aaron as her attention turned back to Melissa. She scrunted her nose at the words post modern something or other. She overheard some patrons asking about the best medium for that type of thing. She never truly saw the appeal. Than again, art was in the eye of the beholder.
She stood next to Melissa with the endless space. She crossed her arms over her chest as she straightened her back a bit. It was nice to hear someone appreciate the feeling from it.
"Endlessness is good. It was at a time in which I felt lost, floating in a vast ocean of nothingness. There was a bit of emptiness in my life." She side stepped to one with endless stairs spiralling in every direction. "This comes from trying to climb multiple paths in my life. It might fit in nicely with the post modern cubist while speaking for itself."

Melissa was excited about being allowed to show the art with one of her other clients work. It helped bring them into the eyes of people who wanted their art and this would spread the art especially when it was purchased.
“It does evoke a sense of many choices. I love them. I’ll arrange them to be picked up and displayed at the space. I’ll have them picked up a two days prior. That will be in two weeks?”
She smiled as she was happy and looked at Wanda.
“If you could give me your number. I’ll send you contact info for me to send off the agreement for your legal representation to go over. It is for four showings of different works, which we mutually agree to, and I add them in with other clients work. That way you get exposure.”
She was spinning! This woman had some very emotional evocative art work and it screamed to be shown.

Wanda took in a deep breath as the woman talked about displaying the pieces in two weeks. She glanced at Aaron as she nodded her head. Her nerves felt frayed as this woman kept going on. It was nice to have the interview come to a close.
"How many pieces do you require? I will make sure to have everything ready do go. As for the paperwork, please just send it to me. I will look over it."
She dug through her bag for a piece of paper. She wrote down her number and email address. She smiled as she handed it over. Her breathing was deep to keep her hands from shaking.
"It has been an honour to meet you. I look forward to speaking with you again."

Melissa took a moment to think and decided a third wouldn’t hurt if Wanda had one in mind. She quickly put in her email and number. She decided a link to his online catalog of sold paintings would help her.
“If you have another in mind I won’t say no. I’m emailing you a link for his catalog of sold paintings. He’s a bit of an egotist but does listen to what I say.”
Aaron knew escape wasn’t possible. Wanda had his hand and only released to hand over her number.
“Oh no the honor is mine. Thank you so much for indulging me today and allowing me to view your art. It’s always nice to see new art especially when it speaks to you as yours does.”
She called Wanda’s phone on her walk toward to elevator.

She called Wanda’s phone on her walk toward to elevator.
Wanda nodded her head, "Sending me a link to his paintings will be good. It will be nice to keep the flow of the show going."
She waved as Melissa left. A few moments passed before she turned her attention to Aaron. She didn't know to be mad or happy. She settled on both. She opened her mouth to speak when her phone rang. Her eyes narrowed as she answered it.
"Hello."
She waved as Melissa left. A few moments passed before she turned her attention to Aaron. She didn't know to be mad or happy. She settled on both. She opened her mouth to speak when her phone rang. Her eyes narrowed as she answered it.
"Hello."
“It’s me Wanda, save my number in your phone and tell your boyfriend to buy you a smartphone as a makeup gift. Aaron has the money. Get him! Talk to you later! Bye!”
The call ended and Aaron was not off the hook yet. He smiled nervously at Wanda.
“Everything ok?”
The call ended and Aaron was not off the hook yet. He smiled nervously at Wanda.
“Everything ok?”
"I will be sure to save your number Melissa. Bye."
She hung up her phone as she put it in her bag. She closed her eyes as she took in a sharp breath. A red hue could be seen covering her hands as her emotions fought against one another. She was excited as well as angry.
"You should have asked before you took these. I would have let you have them. You know this. And why the hell did you not say something sooner? I can't tell if I should be angry or grateful with all of this."
She let go of his hand as she turned away from him. She looked out a window trying to relax her muscles. It was all too much.
"Just tell me why? And what is up with her calling you my boyfriend? Why does she think that?"

Aaron had been attracted to Wanda after hanging out at the house enough to figure out what she liked and basically find ways to be around her. Yes it was a bit stalkerish and sure she could probably do whatever it was she did but he would be ok with that.
“Asking would have created more questions and ruined all this. I know that I should have at least asked. I’m sorry I’d didn’t ask but the result hopefully made you happy.”
He wasn’t going to negate her feelings. He was just happy he was still standing.
“I would say feel happy about this, I want you to feel good about this.”
The boyfriend part must have been because he had politely declined a date with her. He moved to stand behind Wanda and hug her from behind.
“That’s what I was hoping you’d like. I’m yours for your boyfriend if you want one. I am attracted to you Wanda. The artist and coffee loving parts of you. The rest I’d like to discover, if you want me to.”

“That’s what I was hoping you’d like. I’m yours for your boyfriend if you want one. I am attracted to you Wanda. The artist and coffee loving parts of you. The rest I’d like to discover, if you want me to.”
She groaned as he admitted his fault. It was a wonderful gesture, just it could have been done better. She would have given him some of her favourites, ones that mainly reminded her of his different aspects. She had to admit that he inspired a few works of art.
She was going to say more until his arms wrapped around her. She chewed the inside of her lip as her muscles tensed. Displays of affection were not known in her family, even as they grew up. It was an odd sensation. It took a moment before her muscles relaxed.
"Well, if you couldn't tell that I have been attracted to you as well. Why not be a couple. Most people already think we are anyways."
