Chapter 10 - The Supper
"Will Drake take the woman in the painting with him?"
He went to the bathroom and took a bath there.
As the water in the shower poured down his face, he thought of the woman in the painting.
"I can't let that woman go to Drake! I will never see anything like her again. She is my only dream! " He said inside him.
…
At Supper, he was in the elegant diner room with his whole family at the long table.
All of there is complete except for Drake.
"Why isn't Drake here yet?" Cormack asked, as glancing at his watch.
"He is coming, he told me," said his mother named Matilda.
"Are you sure he's coming?" Cormack asked interestedly. His father named Conrad wondered why he was eager to see his brother like that, as he always meet him at the office.
"Do you have something important to say to your brother?" His father asked.
Cormack couldn't keep quiet right away, but his two sisters giggled, they already knew the reason, he wants to see Drake's new girlfriend.
"No dad, I just want to see him, Drake and I rarely see each other," Cormack replied.
"But you always together in the office, right?" Conrad asked.
"Yeah, but we didn't see each other often,"
They started to eat but Drake still didn't come.
Cormack looked straight at his watch.
His father noticed it.
"I don't think Drake can come today," said his sister Tiffany.
"But he said he would come now," said Matilda.
"You're not used to Drake anymore, now you see now you don't, it's just like Cormack," Conrad scoffed.
"He's probably with his new girlfriend so he's not here,"
Said Tiffany.
"Hmm, I think so," Denise said.
"What, does Drake have a new girlfriend again?"
"Yes dad, Cormack himself says so,"
"How did you know that he has a new one?"
"I saw the painting, he drew his girlfriend," Cormack said.
" He just did that now, hmm," said Conrad in surprise.
"You're not used to Drake anymore, he's always introduce her new girlfriend to us, unlike Cormack, he never introduces any girl to us yet, I will be surprised if he did that, which hasn't happened yet," said Matilda.
" Well, mom, do you know that the one in Drake's painting is Cormack's Dreamgirl? " Tiffany blurted out. Cormack was upset at what Tiffany revealed,
"Tiffany, stop saying that! "
"Cormack, don't hide anything to us, were family," Matilda said.
Cormack was just silent.
"Is it true? " Conrad frowned.
"Okay, fine, I'll tell you the truth, the one in Drake's painting, I see in my dream," "What? So you know the girl in the painting? "
"No, I only see her in my dream, so many times!"
"This is impossible," Conrad shook his head
"That's true dad,"
"So what are you going to do, the girl in your dream is a real person and she is your brother's girlfriend?"
"Don't worry dad, I'm not sure how I feel yet, as long as I don't see the woman in the painting in person," Cormack said.
"What if you see her and you're really in love?" Denise asked.
"I can't answer you until I see the girl,"
"So that's the reason why you want to see Drake, because maybe he's with his new girl?" Matilda asked.
Cormack nodded.
"Yes, mom," Cormack replied.
"There are a lot of babes around you and Drake, then in the end, you will fall in one girl? This is un acceptable," Tiffany chuckled.
"Indeed, Drake was the painter of that portrait, so the girl belongs to him, so you can't do anything Cormack," Matilda said.
"But mom!" Cormack exclaimed.
"And if Drake knows that you have a feeling about his girlfriend, he'll definitely be mad at you, think of it!" Conrad said. Cormack felt disappointed, even if he didn't finish his meal yet, he immediately stood up.
"Your not done eating yet," Matilda said.
"This was a good dinner mom, but I lose my appetite!" Cormack said and he hurried up the grand staircase and went to his room.
…
Cormack grabbed his head, and he felt frustrated.
"Is this how it feels to fall in love? I hate this kind of feeling, I don't like it!" He said angrily inside him. He called Arnold and told him to visit him to the house.
Arnold came immediately and they had a drink in the wine room.
He told him the problem.
Arnold was surprised because it was his first time having a problem about love.
Since business is always on its mind.
"It looks like I'm talking to different Cormack now, what's wrong with you?"
"I don't know, I'm in love with the painting!"
"What if you see the girl in the painting in person and you don't fall in love like in the painting?" Arnold asked.
"I hope I can feel that, so I will have no problem!"
"But what if you fall in love when you see her for real?"
"That's why I have a big problem, because she's Drake's girlfriend!"
"Leave it to him bro, it's his girl, there are so many more anywhere,"
"It's just the first time I've had the intense feeling for a babe, I don't want to let it go!" Cormack deeply said. After a while, his cell phone rang.
He glanced at the screen and it was not registered on his cell phone.
"Who is calling?" Arnold asked.
"There's not registered in my phone book, maybe it's one of my girls," he scoffed.
Cormack's women make a way to know his private number.
