Angelica

"Accept it," Rodrick whispered in my ears.

It's been three days since Cindy emailed me about the photoshoot, I'm anxious, scared, happy I don't know, "What about our art gallery Rodrick? I can't afford to loss our business as well. There's gonna be a lot of requests or maybe some people want to book a tour in our galleries, I don't know Rodrick."

"Angelica, don't over think too much, you got me." He placed his hand on his chest. "We can put on hold our arts and photography. I may be your manager but I can paint too we were classmates for a reason." He slowly twirled the his cup and sipped his ice coffee behind me, "Now click that shit or I'm gonna do it."

"Should we tell Cindy what's going to happened to our gallery if we don't paint for this year? They said they will give me a Month and a half for Photoshoot, I know damn well it will be more than a month and a half. Weather's not to friendly sometimes, Rodrick. There's gonna be reschedules and roller-coaster rides, I just knew it." I sighed.

Rodrick crunch up his nose, gulping his ice coffee and said, "Bitch? So what. It's not like we gonna lost the costumers, why don't we just open up for requests paintings for now and next year we will paint the painting requests, and next next year we will announce the new batch."

"People will get disappointed if they don't get a new batch of paintings for next year," I groaned.

"Bitch, Says who?" Rodrick stood up and lay down on the sofa of my office, "And we deserve a break, I deserve a break, you deserve a break we all deserve a break in our life sometimes. Stop pushing yourself, Angelica besides we have a lot of paintings that has been sold, we earned millions, including the painting MFC bought. Don't you think that's enough?"

"Don't you think we have enough money to give salaries to the few employees to both of our art gallery? Here in California and to the Arizona?" I asked, rubbing my thumb together while facing Rodrick.

"Yes, of course. There's even a few paintings left, we can still earn more. I'll manage everything, I promise we will do great. The gallery will be fine, both of the galleries will be fine, Just trust me. And please do the thing that you also love; photography." Rodrick sat up on sofa and looked at me dead in the eye, "Stop thinking and just do what you got to do. Say yes to everything, Say yes to opportunities."

I smiled at his not so inspired speech and said, "Okay," I faced the computer, "But I'm gonna ask Cindy anyway."

Rodrick dramatically groaned and lay back down on the sofa, "You are impossible sometimes, no wonder Zeke is so hard to convince with Jeff. I bet he got that stubbornness from you."

I giggled, "I don't think so," I emailed Cindy about the situation and she replied immediately, "Cindy replied." I alarmed Rodrick.

"What the bitch said?"

"She said, 'It will be okay Angelica we can talk about it on the press we will be the one to announce that you will have to hold your paintings for a year because you will work with us. Your fans are going to know it immediately, internet will do it's thing on how to spread it.' yeah that's what she said," I said and looked at Rodrick who's still laying on the Sofa.

"See? I told you. It's gonna be okay, you just overthink a lot. I'm not gonna listen to you if you gonna say your 'buts' again. I'm gonna press that accept button right now if you complain your ass one more time. I swear to the heavens and to Zues Angelica."

I chuckled, "Alright, alright. I'm gonna accept it," With my shaky hands, I slowly move the mouse to the accept button. This is it, I'm gonna do it and I did it.

A breath of relief, I now I'm gonna take this quite well.

"Are you done staring at that stupid screen?"

I smiled, "Yes?" I awkwardly giggled.

"Good cause I'm going home,"

I frowned, "Already? You won't stay?"

"My boyfriend is waiting for me in the house, we getting freaky tonight." Rodrick shake his non-existent butt and stick his tongue out.

"Your so disgusting, Rodrick. Don't you dare twerk in my office!" I smack his butt, "You don't even have a butt."

"Your so fucking right. I'm always in love with you boobies and butt, they're always full." He look at my body. Rodrick also study fashion designing too but he sticks to painting and photography with me. "I always wanted to make you a beautiful sexy dress to show off your curves. You don't know how to shop clothes," He held my shoulders and twirl me around studying my body up and down.

I shrugged, "What do you expect? I'm always busy and I don't need to be sexy."

"You are so lucky you don't have any stretch marks on your tummy." He lift my loose tee shirt, "You still have your hourglass figure, thick thighs and butt. I would love to make you a sexy dress Angelica."

"I only gave birth to a child Rodrick not a crocodile!" I smack his shoulders.

"No kidding, You are the hottest Mama I have ever seen. Be freaky with your Doctor, Angelica lighten up."

"I prefer not."

I don't ever think I'll ever have sex again. I've been untouched for 7 years. Jeff wanted it but I don't and he respects that. Do I crave it? Yes. Do I want it? No. Do I consider myself as a virgin again for not having sex for 7 years? Yes and no. I don't know, I do heard right after you gave birth your vagina gets tighter again and when you have sex it feels like the first time all over again."

Rodrick raised his eyebrow, "Really?"

I shrugged, "I don't believe in that shit unless it's proven or I should do it for myself so I'll know if it's real or fake or just asked my OB about it. I don't even masturbate. I was too young to learn sex and I don't even have the time to study and play myself. Right after Nicholas left, my vagigi is lonely and lock and untouched."

"You don't miss sex?" Rodrick raised his eyebrows as we went downstairs,

"I don't. There are times that I crave it especially on my period or my period is about to start, my hormones get crazy sometimes. I crave it but I don't need it," I shrugged,

"Not even playing yourself?"

I shook my head,

"Wow that vagina is a tough nut to crack," Rodrick chuckled

"Rodrick!" I laughed and smack his shoulders, "Zeke will hear you!"

Rodrick giggled, "I'm sorry." we stand by the doorway and he kiss me by the cheeks, "I had a nice time convincing you for the last 3 hours," He said sarcastically.

I chuckled, "And I love hearing your patience running out too but thank you,"

"You are very welcome. When I say I'm the fairy god mother, I am that bitch. I'll bring a wand if I get back here. I should put that on my to do list," He said.

"You should make it a career," I jokingly added,

"Bet." He kissed me in both cheeks again and said goodbye.
