Bella really seemed to enjoy her time at the museum. I was actually surprised how much she knew about art. She excitedly pointed out to paintings she had learned about or seen before.

Her attention seemed to be drawn to one artist in particular, Tamara De Lempicka. An artist from the twenties whose paintings consisted of rich, bright colors mixed with images of sex and glamour.

Her favorite was the portrait of Ira P. The painting was of a beautiful, short hair brunette, who was wearing an elegant white dress and holding a bunch of white Calla Lilies in her hand. The woman was also wearing a bright red scarf and bright red lipstick adding a pop of color to the picture and she was looking off into the distance. She also had dark black circles under her eyes, as if the lady was unhappy.

I wondered as Bella stood there in silence eyeing the work of art if she felt she could relate to the woman in the picture.

Was she disappointed with her life?

Did she have goals that she was unable to reach?

I gave Bella the tour of the rest of the gallery and informed her on some information about certain portraits.

After spending an hour at the museum we both grew hungry and decided it was time to eat.


I drove us over to the closest market considering it was already nine o'clock at night. I didn't want Bella to starve.

I was surprised by how cool she was being. Most girls wouldn't have waited so long to eat. The majority of ladies I knew turned moody if they didn't eat by a certain time.

I came back to the car with a bag of goodies and drove Bella to a great vacant field I knew. A place I often went to reflect.

I turned the engine off and opened my plastic brown bag to reveal what was hidden inside. Bella eyed the bag eagerly wanting to know what I bought.

I took out two bottles of water, two small bags of potato chips, two subs and there was also a small platter of fruit and cheese.

I never ate in my car before, I was always afraid of spilling something on the expensive upholstery. However, it was just a car. If something got ruin I could always take it in to have the stain removed.

I opened my sun roof giving us a better view of the stars as we ate our meals.

"You got me, I wasn't expecting this." Bella voiced before taking a bite out of her sub.

"I'm really not this smooth, I have to tell you I kind of forgot to plan ahead. I was just so surprised and excited you said yes to the date I didn't think to plan the evening out, sorry."

"Are you kidding? This is great. Actually this is probably the best date I have been on in quite some time." Bella confessed, making my worry melt away and a smile form over my lips.

We finished our meals in silence enjoying the view of the sky up above. Once we ate our fill and talk of having to get up early the next day filled the air, I started the car up and drove us back to Bella's work.


Note: Another installment will come later today. It will be the end of the date. What can I say, I got inspired today. ;)
