Muse for the artist. Naty Daybs

think about your proposal. But don’t be in vain. You know, you are right about one thing. I have temporary difficulties and am not in the mood for new acquaintances and close communication now. Excuse me. It’s not about you at all.

      – Are we on you again?

      – It’s just that I’m not comfortable… This restaurant and this contract.

      – I understand, Yana, you want to keep your distance. In part, this is the correct position. But still, I would like us to get to know each other better. And let’s still be on you?

      – Oh well. Only I really have to go. Thanks for the coffee..

      – Do not mention it. Take the contract. I’m not rushing you. And if you want to sign or just chat, I’ll be glad to see you. complete safety. And also pleasant impressions and good rest.

      – It’s very tempting, but I have to go. Otherwise, I may be late for the holiday.

      Mikhail accompanied me to the taxi. Of course, he insisted on taking me home in person, but this whole situation bothered me. The restaurant and this strange contract…

      On the way home, I dropped by another jewelry store and bought a bracelet for my friend. I was home by six. Rita called me.

      – Hi, friend, have you forgotten that I am expecting you at eight? Let’s wave karaoke, sing something.

      – Hi, sorry, I was busy a little. I ran to the shops. And then I met Max there with some kind of new girlfriend who looks like a fitball. – I described the girl I saw with Max.

      – Fuu! And how could he trade you for that?

      – I do not know. It doesn’t matter.

      Can you imagine, I rushed from there that I almost knocked down the guard, who took me for a terrorist or a thief. But I explained to him, he was an understanding man. He said that I was beautiful and so that I would not take a steam bath, but found myself another.

      – The case speaks. And then you sour here on Max.

      – No longer.

      – What, the artist announced?

      – Not really. You see, the guard’s name is Mikhail and I got overwhelmed that I should call this artist, like it’s a sign. Stupid, right?

      «Not at all. Fight fire with fire. Moreover, he himself was waiting for your call, he gave you a business card. So how is it? Are you dating now?

      – Not really. He wants to draw me. Took me to Fantasia today.

      – Where? Repeat! Am I right?

      – Not. I was in the «Fantasy» restaurant.

      – You talk about it as if it were something ordinary. How is it there?

      – Everything is too expensive there. Coffee and dessert cost a lot of money.

      – Wow. You said you were broke now.

      – He didn’t let me pay. I paid for everything myself.

      – Wow! This is a gift of fate!

      – He offered me a contract for our joint activities in writing his paintings. A strange contract. And in general, he himself is strange.

      – He’s a foreigner, and they are all obsessed with his contracts. Will you send me an e-mail to read it?

      Better wait for me, I’ll come now and we’ll discuss everything. Fuck karaoke. I’ll buy a bottle of wine along the way, it’s my birthday after all. and there is no one to celebrate except you. So what’s next?

      – He offers to live with him for a month and pay all expenses. And a hundred thousand dollar fee. For my wasted time.

      – All, wait for me, I’ll be there soon. And you, friend, will tell me everything!!!

      – I’m waiting. Let’s order some food. I bought a present too.

      – Come on, don’t worry. I’m already flying.

      A friend arrived in half an hour by taxi.

      – Hello, give me your contract!

      – Hello. Happy Birthday again! – I hugged Rita and handed her a red box.

      – Wow! You shouldn’t have gone broke like that, Jan. But thanks anyway! You always know what I want! Give your contract. And while I’m reading, you pour our favorite and cut the cake that I brought.

      – Here. Read it. I’ll do everything for now.

      – Well.

      At the end of the reading, my friend was absolutely delighted!

      – Listen, can he draw me for that kind of money? I kapets, as it is necessary!

      – I’ll ask if you want. I do not care.

      – What are you saying? You understand that the interest on the deposit from such amounts is greater than our salary taken together!!! And do you prefer to go out on Max. If I were you, I would agree, and then I would arrange a chance meeting for Max and show myself a new one. You passed your license a year ago. A great opportunity to buy a car and arrange repairs from your parents as you wanted. She herself said that it is high time for them to update the furniture and the interior as a whole.

      – I do not know, all this is too similar to a fairy tale.. What if he is a maniac? Kill me and that’s it, you don’t have to pay anything.

      Come on, all his passport details are here. Look, I know who can back us up. My uncle is in my organs, remember? He will hit him in the base.

      – Well, but only from people with such money, everything in the organs is bought and seized.

      – Do not boil, Yanka! If you don’t want it, don’t! I’ll go. I need money. And I’m not afraid of maniacs. They seem to be afraid of me! At least one suggested normal sex or at least a good restaurant.! Impotents are alone and homeless!

      – Friend, well, you give! Maybe you’re looking in the wrong place?

      – It’s easy for you to say! You only have a couple of months with a little boyfriend, and I have almost six! I have already registered on all dating sites! And zero sense! Men, like women, began to want only loot and PR. One recently wrote to me. Like, let’s swing to Italy. You just buy the vouchers, and as soon as we return from the trip, I will pay for everything. Sure! He will pay! How is it? Alphonse, damn it. And all dating sites are crammed with such reptiles. Either a bastard or a freak. Such that it is scary to watch, not like meeting.

      So choose, Janusik, either you agree now or I take the artist myself.

      «I told him I’ll think about it for a few days. And we need to resolve the issue of vacation, if I agree.

      – Good. We’ll wait three days, think about it. We will decide there.

      We chatted for a couple of hours and Ritka flew away after another boyfriend called in the hope that she would be lucky at least on her birthday. All these two hours, Rita persistently tortured You should persuade me to sign an agreement or give Mikhail’s phone number. I didn’t give the number. She said that it would be indecent of me. But she promised to ask Misha if he could draw Rita. Something in me prevented me from simply taking and giving Rita my new acquaintance. Probably just with him I forgot about Max at least for a short time.

      I was about to go to bed and saw a message on my phone.

      – I wish sweet dreams to my muse. I’m waiting for your decision, Yana. I hope for a positive answer.

      – Thank. Good night to you too. The solution will be as agreed. I’ll tell.

      An emoticon came back with a smile. But I didn’t answer.

      I could not sleep
