126 Pottery and Painting

The week flew by in a blink of an eye. The couple was busy with work during the weekdays. In fact, they mostly stayed late in the office. However, they maintained to have lunch and dinner together. They alternately slept together in either of their penthouse suites. 

When the weekend came, Yanmei was once again looking forward to their next date. Anton told her that the weekend will be about pottery and painting. 

On a Saturday afternoon, Anton took her to a pottery shop, where workshops were being offered for those who were interested in making bowls or vases. The shop was closed exclusively for their use. They were given a basic orientation about clays and how to handle them. The shop also gave a demo, with one potter making two pieces for them to follow. 

Before getting started, Yanmei asked Anton, "Are you going to make a pot with me?"

"Hmmm… I'm just going to watch you," he said. "I - don't like to make a mess with the clay."
