CHAPTER 11

"Mr Jake?...

what are you doing here?"He chuckled, he was leaning against a door post with his arms folded across his chest. Wearing a black shirt with the sleeves folded up to his elbows, some of his buttons were let loose exposing bits of chest muscles. He wore blue denim pants and black Nike Jordan sneakers to go with. His black glistening hair was styled into a man bun and he looked really good.

"What am I doing here? Figure it out...",he left the door post, walking towards me,"... I gave you my business card, asking that you call me.

I sent this address to you and you met with Anna outside. She told you seamus was inside and she brought you here. If Seamus was in here and I am standing in front of you, then... who am I?" He said, a smile on my face.

He stood in front of me. Those intense blue eyes were carefully watching me.

"You are Seamus! What?!!...",

I quickly looked him down and then up,"... this is crap. Bullshit. How can you be Seamus?!"He tucked a hand in his pocket, staring at me with a subtle smile on his face.

"Why are you this surprised? Is it because I am your sinister next door neighbor? Or, don't I fit to be called Seamus?"I moved strands of hair away from my face.

This is... awkward.

Seamus, a renowned artist. Never seen before by the public is no other than, my neighbor.

I held his gaze, unsure of what to say.I knew there was something about Jake I couldn't place a finger on.

The way his eyes admired arts. The way he talks and walks. The way he observes things. But knowing now that he is my favorite artist, I was shocked.I have always loved Seamus works. I literally could sell my soul to the devil to actually meet him in person and this, This is a dream come true.

I cleared my throat."Soooo, why am I here? You said you wanted to offer me a job."

"Yeah, I did say that and it is a simple job offer." He said, walking out on me and towards the work table.

"What kind of job offer is that?", tilting my head to the side to look at him."I want you to be my model. I want to sculpt you in a form that can neither be destroyed, corrupted nor recreated."

I was astounded, staring blankly at him. His back was to me.

"Y-Your model?"He turned around to look at me, leaning on the table.

"Yes. I will pay you handsomely for it. $5000 per session."

"$5000?! Isn't that too much?!!"He grinned.

I became shy almost immediately. Shit! I am a rich kid and yet, I am acting like $5000 is a big deal. It is actually a big deal though. Not everyone makes such an amount in one sitting."Don't worry, I won't be including your face to it.

It will be a faceless sculpt work. People won't be able to identify the owner of the body."I lifted my gaze.

"What do you mean?.."Come to think of it, Seamus sculpt works were mostly that of naked people.

Did he actually mean that he will be making a statue out of my naked body?!.

"Take off your clothes." He said, staring at me with a curious intensity in his eyes."W-Why should I? I never said..."

He sighed,"Rachel Blake, are you going to take the job or, do you want me to change my mind? It's not like there aren't enough models for me to choose from but, the moment I saw you in that gallery, I said within myself that I have found the perfect model, and it's you.

If you want, you can disagree and I wouldn't dare disturb you again. But if you agree, I could give a percentage from the amount it would be sold. That way, everyone wins."

I tightly pressed my lips together. This is Seamus in front of me. I glanced at him.He is a man I greatly admire and all he just wants is to make me his model.

I averted my gaze from him, staring at a covered piece of sculpture that stood in a corner.

"Fine. Fine, I will...",fuck! I can't believe I am saying this,"... I will be your model."I felt weary and ashamed. This was embarrassing."Alright then, take off your clothes." He commanded.I closed my eyes.

I haven't done this before, getting naked in front of a man.

I sighed, like a child under a spell not knowing what's happening. I slowly took off the green gown I was wearing.

I looked up to see he was watching me. The gown fell to the ground, leaving me with only my bra and panties.

A wave of shame swept my body instantly.Ha! This was disgusting.I unhooked my bra, taking it out and then tossing it to the ground. I took down my panties, taking my legs out of it. I stood butt naked in front of him.

He had this one smile on his face that made me wanna slap him silly.

"Go lay down on the couch over there." He said, pointing at a couch that stood close to a book shelf.

I walked to the couch, my face flushed and my mind in disarray. Is he planning on sleeping with me?Fück! I should have known.

I laid on the couch like a helpless maid awaiting her distasteful master.
