Chapter 8 - Masterpiece
So, how did you say that the one in the painting is your dream girl?"
"I see her in my dream, and every time I see her in a dream, it's like I don't want to wake up, in that dream, I feel like I'm really in love, but I've never been tried it in real life," Cormack said.
"So, it means that you found her already? Through Drake's painting?" Tiffany furrowed.
"I don't know, until I saw her in real life," Cormack replied.
"But how can that be? I'm sure Drake is also in love with the woman, because he even painted it, and he never did it before,"
"If I will see her in person, and if I will feel love at first sight to her, that means, she is the one! I would defintely get her from Drake," Cormack deeply said.
"But Cormack, don't do it to Drake, he is our brother!" Tiffany reacted. Then Denise chimed in.
"Yeah, don't do that to him, there are so many women out there," Denise retorted.
"But I only want one thing, that woman in the painting! I never ever felt this way before, I rarely feel it, so I shouldn't let it go!" Cormack insisted.
"But you shouldn't do this, what about Drake?"
"It's easy for Drake to fall in love with anyone, he had been serious relationship a few times, but I've never had one, so let him give me this,"
"Don't do that to Drake, he knew the girl before you, there's nothing you can do, just wait, maybe they will also break up," Denise said.
"I can't wait any longer! I keep waiting for so long!"
"You can find your own Cormack!" Tiffany said.
"I'm not interested in others!" he retorted.
The sisters calmed down.
"Okay, fine, for now, join us, we were drinking with our friends,"
Denise said as she invited him to join them.
They went into the living room.
"For now, forget the woman in the painting," Tiffany said as they drawn near to their friends, who were giggly drinking.
The girls immediately shuddered when they saw Cormack drawing near.
"Cormack, join us!" One of them said, but Cormack shakes his head,
"I'm leaving, enjoy yourselves!" Cormack said and he left the penthouse.
"Well, see you in the house!" Tiffany called out.
When Cormack left, their friends felt remorse.
"He didn't even associate with us," said one.
"He is Cormack Alcafone, he doesn't have time to join us," said one of them.
Tiffany spoke.
"I'm so sorry, he didn't mingle with you, he is always like that,"
Tiffany said, and they continued their happenings.
…
Cormack returned to the office. And the picture in the painting is still in his mind. Later, his best friend and right hand man arrived.
"Where have you been?" Arnold asked, when he sauntered the room.
"To my sisters penthouse of the sapphire hotel, they are having fun there with their friends,"
"Hmm, It's unusual and you went to them in the middle of your job? " Arnold said.. "Nothing particular," Cormack replied.
"Anyway, have you seen Drake's new masterpiece?"
...
"His Painting?"
"Yes,"
"Yeah, I saw it,"
"Drake said, the woman in the painting is his new girlfriend, he drew it himself," "He told you that?"
"Yeah,"
"I can't believe that she exists! She is not real," Cormack said.
"What do you mean?"
Cormack moves a little closer to him, and he mumbled.
"The woman in the painting is my dream girl,"
"Really?" Arnold scoffed.
"Yeah, don't you believe? " "I'm just surprised, what if you will see that woman in the painting with Drake?"
"I don't know yet, all I can say, Drake is so lucky, he was with the woman I've been dreaming of for a long time, which I thought I could only see in a dream, he is my brother, but I don't want to allow the woman of my dreams to go with him!" Cormack blurted out. Arnold was stunned.
"I can't believe either you said that,"
"What I'm telling you is true,"
"Really?"
"Yes!"
"Well, but it's only a painting bro," Arnold scoffed. "If I will find out that the woman in the painting is exist, I will definitely do anything to make her to be mine!" Cormack deeply said.
"What if the wiman is real, but the painting was just good? You know Drake, he is good at drawing," Arnold said.
"Drake generally draws the actual one, there's nothing too much, nothing too less, that's exactly the woman's face that I've seen in my dreams!" Cormack sternly said.
"What will you do, bro? "
"Whatever will happen, I want to see the girl in person!"
Cormack said. After they talked, he called Drake by the phone.
"Hello, Drake,"
"What's up brother?"
"I'm really fascinated in your painting, when will you introduce her to me?"
Drake was not immediately answer.
"You'll meet her someday,"
"Where and how did you meet her?" Cormack asked curiously.
"I'll tell you next time ok, I'm busy right now,"
"I hope you tell me," Cormack eagerly said.
"Why are you so interested in my new girlfriend?"
Cormack was not immediately silent,
"I-I just want to meet her, that's all,"
"I know you, when it comes to women, so please, stay away from my girlfriend," Drake frowned.
"Of course, just want to see her," Cormack said, but he immediately felt jealous.
"Anyway, I will invite you to exhibit of my work, this coming Saturday night, do you want to come?" Drake asked. Cormack felt amused when Drake invited him, he thought that he could bring the girl.
"Of course, I'm going,"
"Really?"
"Yes, I'm sure your girlfriend is with you?"
"It's a surprise," Drake grinned,
"See you there," Cormack said.
And Drake said something that makes him interesting.
"Any way, I'll meet my girl tomorrow night,"
"What? Can you tell me where you are going? " he blurted out.
"Its my date, so its solemn, well, see you in my exhibit this Saturday," Drake said and put down his cellphone.
