"How did you even find this place?" I ask feeling completely out of place, but happy to see other men there.

"A little birdie told me about it." She says as she sits our canvases on our easels.

"Would that little birdie be named, Gavin?" I inquire dipping our brushes in the provided water station.

"Nope!" She exclaims smiling at me.

"Andrea?"

"No."

"Patrice?" I ask with a little hesitancy, I'm sure if she would have drug Louie to this I would have heard about it by now.

"No!" She replies laughing at my eagerness to know.

"Well then who?" I whisper as the instructor begins to give us directions.

"Shh!" She says smiling.

"I'm going to keep asking." I whisper as the instructor gives us more directions. We are painting a pre- drawn moon in the night sky, from the vantage point of lying in tall grass.

"Oh, I know you will." She teases as she lifts her brush and starts painting the night sky first.

"You can use any color scheme that you'd like, when doing the sky." The instructor informs us.

Sharon is using blue and purple, with hints of silver. I pick up my brush and dip it in the dark blue and I plan to use black to accentuate the dark undertones of the sky.

"I don't think is going to turn out right." I tell her. "Don't worry, you are doing great." Sharon says looking at my canvas. "You have gotten farther than me!" She says. She is still doing the night sky, as I am almost done with my moon.

"That is because you are a perfectionist!" I tease. "Am not!" She retorts. "I just like things to be done a certain way, and I refuse to move on until they meet my satisfaction! You should know that well enough by now!" She asserts wagging her paint brush in my face.

"Oh I know! But you just gave me the almost exact textbook definition of perfection!" I tease as I laugh at her wagging her paintbrush in my face.

She rolls her eyes and smirks as she resumes painting her night sky, adding a nine silver stars.

I finish my moon. I add speckles of white and yellow to the moon, she says, "You really have a knack for observing the true natures of the night sky."

"Mmm, as you know it was my favorite thing to do as a child." I reply. "After decades of doing it, I better be able to describe it with my eyes closed." I tease as the instructor walks behind us. "Sir, this is beautiful." She praises.

"Thank you." I reply. "Have you ever done this before?" She asks.

"Never." I say as Sharon is looking at me with pure admiration in her eyes.

"Wow, really?" She says astonished. "You should sign up for our painting class that is every other Thursday to further hone your skills. Your wife can come also, because it is a couple's class." As I register what she said, I quickly correct her as Sharon smiles at my nervousness.

"Oh we aren't married." I say. "But thank you for the compliment and I or I should say we will think it over." I continue as I smile at the instructor trying to put her at ease about her mistake.

"Oh, I am so sorry!" She says as she looks at Sharon. "It is ok, it's not the first time, it's happened." Sharon says reassuringly.

"Well, I hope to see you both at one of the classes." She says as she walks away.

I look at Sharon as she turns around to start her moon, and ask, "Do you think we should go?"

"Sure, why not?" She replies. "I think it would be a lot of fun!" She exclaims.

"We shall see." I retort as I start on my grass. I use light green and specks of white in the middle of the stalks of grass. As I work my way to the outward grass I start using shades of forest green and hunter green with a few highlights of black and specks of yellow on the tips.

"I should have known that a man with an impeccable sense of style, could color coordinate a painting, so well." She whispers as she leans over to admire my work.

"Thanks." I say, as I kiss her temple. "You aren't too shabby yourself." I reply.

"Mm, let Provenza tell it we color coordinate on purpose!" She teases.

"He says that to you, too?" I ask mock stunned. We both laugh. We continue painting. I notice she paints her grass stalks jade, similar to her stunning eyes. She makes perfect strokes with the brush to ensure she doesn't cross the pre-drawn lines. Not a perfectionist my ass!

45 minutes later…

We are waiting for our paintings to finish drying as we clean up.

"So, are you going to tell me who the little birdie is?" I ask standing behind her as she washes the paint off of delicately smooth creamy hands.

She looks over her shoulder at me and smiles, but stays quiet.

"Really, Sharon?" I say as she moves over to dry her hands, as I start washing mine.

"I'm not stopping you from guessing. I'm not going to outright tell you, though." She utters as she walks back to our station.

"Well, I'm all of out of guesses!" I say as she shakes her head no.

"What do you mean no? I said everyone I could think of." I utter.

"Umm, you forgot about Amy!" She exclaims.

"Of course, Amy! She would be the type to drag Chuck down here." I tease as I check my painting to see if it is dry.

"Actually, he brought her!" She retorts. My mouth flies open in disbelief.

"Don't look so surprised!" She says laughing as she pushes my mouth closed.

"I just don't picture Chuck as the type of guy, who would even know about a place like this." I confess admiring her painting.

"Really? He and his sister own his place. His sister is our instructor." She says.

"Wow! Learn something new every day!" I reply.

"They also own the gallery next door and a great deal of the paintings are his!" She says further shocking me.

"What's the matter you didn't peg a man well-built man like himself, to be into art?" She teases.

"I don't know whether to be offended by the fact that you think he is well-built or insulted that you said it to me!" I tease back trying to hide a smirk.

"Hmm, whatever! I do have eyes, Andy! He is handsome and he has nice muscles. I would be a fool not to notice." She states looking me directly in my eyes. "But as you probably can tell, he is isn't exactly my type, plus he is taken!" She says rubbing my thigh as she leans closer to me.

"Oh, really? So, what is your type? I need some clarification, to make sure I fit the standard requirements!" I tease before I gently kiss her. She smiles into the kiss.

"Hmm let's see, He has to be at least 6'1""

"Check"

"At least 5 years close to my age."

"Check, Check!"

"I prefer the salt and pepper look!"

"Check!"

"Patient with me!"

"Hell I deserve a million checks for that!" I rasp and she slaps my chest.

"Umm, what else? Oh yeah he has to be irresistible to me!" She says smiling at me. "Do you think you qualify?" She inquires before partially tugging her bottom lip inward.

"Yes! I do believe I qualify!" I confirm.

"Congratulations! You have been offered the position of my object of affection!" She says

"So, does this job come with any bonuses?" I breathe in her ear.

"Yes!" she whispers.

"You have the opportunity to earn performance bonuses, on occasion!" She breathes as her breath ghost my skin, sending shivers down my spine, as she sits back up.

"Maybe I will need to do an evaluation tonight." She says smiling as the instructor, is bidding everyone else goodbye.

We grab our paintings and head towards the door, Sharon stops at the instructor and says "I will be sure to tell Amy and Chuck, how much I enjoyed tonight."

We walk out to the car and she opens the trunk and as I put the paintings in the car, she says, "I was serious about the performance evaluation."

I stand here completely flabbergasted by her boldness and decisiveness. I don't even hear her call my name at first, "Andy?"

"Uh, yeah?" I say as I walk around to open her door.

"The evaluation is going to require us actually leaving this parking lot!" She says before I close the door.

I walk swiftly to my side of the car and get in. "Sharon, you know I am completely comfortable with waiting awhile before my evalau…" She leans over the console and intertwines our lips stopping me midsentence. Her tongue seeks entrance into my mouth immediately, and I don't hesitate to grant it. She breaks the kiss, leaving both of us almost breathless, and says, "Shut up and drive!"
