Chapter 19: Paint
Chapter 19: (Aubrey's POV)- Paint
After lying in bed for about half an hour, I got bored. Yeah, that's an issue. I'm tired but I'm bored of just lying there.
"I'm bored, let's do something." I rested my chin on the back of my hand which rested on the pillow while I lied flat on my stomach.
"I thought you wanted to lay in bed?" he laughed while putting his phone aside while I did the same.
"Yeah, that was before boredom hit me." I shrugged nonchalantly.
"What do you want to do?" he chuckled while lying down, mirroring me.
"Paint."
Confusion instantly formed on his face as his eyebrows knitted.
"Let's paint," I said the first thing that came to mind.
"Okay," he laughed. "We'll do it in the backyard, so the house doesn't get messy," he shrugged before getting up while I did too.
I grabbed the hem of his shirt and tied it around my waist to prevent it from blowing around due to the wind outside.
Before getting outside, we stopped at the closet behind the stairs to grab paints I assume. There were only two canvases left, lucky us. We both grabbed one each while he grabbed the paints and I took the brushes and then headed outside. We set them down on the ground with a sigh before just staring at the canvases for a moment.
I stared, thinking out what I'd paint before it hit me. I just decided to paint a sunset with clouds. So I grabbed the paint, and paintbrushes and poured orange and yellow paint all over the canvas.
He was still standing there and I was almost done with my background. I finished and now had to wait for it to dry. "Are you even gonna paint?" I laughed while wiping my hands with a rag that we had brought.
"Certainly," he nodded before grabbing the bottle of blue paint and dipping his brush in it before splashing the brush right on me.
I gasped while turning my head to avoid any getting on my face. "Parker!" I screamed while looking down at my clothes. Technically his, so his loss, not mine.
