Muse for the artist. Naty Daybs

was the hardest and the work was over for today. He offered to relieve stress and swim in the pool. I agreed. We did a couple of swims and then went to have tea. After that we watched different films, mostly comedies. And they laughed a lot. Mikhail often looked at me, lightly licking his lips, which caused me to be overwhelmed with great excitement. But outwardly his behavior was perfect. he didn’t talk about Max or Rita anymore. Only once asked if I was too upset about her departure so early. But I really wasn’t upset. Rather, some tiny part of me was happy about my friend’s departure. And for this I was ashamed in front of her and in front of me too. In the evening we drank tea on the upper terrace and it was really cool. The evening forest air bewitched with its scent. Many different birds were heard and Misha and I tried to guess what they were singing about. We tried to portray them. And then they laughed for a long time. And when the sun was setting and the sky was covered with a crimson sunset, the view from the terrace was simply indescribable. Like this whole moment. I was happy that Rita was not around. We just sat and enjoyed the silence of this beautiful sunset. Usually in films, kissing begins at such moments. But Mikhail saw or felt that I was not yet ready for a new relationship, and after sunset he simply offered to accompany me to my room, wishing me pleasant dreams. So my first day of vacation passed.

      Part 3

      – Knock-knock, can I come to you?

      – Yes, come in.

      – Good morning, Yana, how did you sleep? – Misha entered the room with a tray in his hands. On it were two cups of aromatic coffee and rolls.

      – Good morning to you too. You shouldn’t have been so worried. I can eat in the kitchen too.

      – You are my guest. And the guests must be received properly.

      – Many thanks. It’s just so unexpected.

      – Get used to it. while you are here, you will be treated with due hospitality.

      – Thank you so much, Mikhail.

      – It’s my pleasure. Actually, I am extremely surprised that such a beautiful girl has not been brought breakfast in bed before. I thought this should be the norm for you.

      – You wrong. I am an ordinary girl and they don’t bring me breakfast in bed. I cook them myself.

      – Very sorry. Every princess must have its own prince.

      – My prince just recently found himself another princess. And let’s not talk about it anymore.

      – Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.

      «You couldn’t do it, another person has already done it.

      – I’m sorry.

      – Not worth it. This prince did not bring me breakfast in bed, and in general he was not much like a prince. It’s just that it was a rather long relationship for me, which led me to the fact that I ended up here.

      – Then I’ll be your prince for a while, if you don’t mind.

      – Let’s do without nice words. We’re just collaborating. If you want, we can become friends, but don’t expect more.

      – Good. But in this case, I will consider you a friend, and friends in my house should feel free and uninhibited. And even more often to have fun and smile. What would you like to do today?

      – I do not know. It’s raining outside. I thought you were going to paint.

      – Maybe, but later. I don’t like painting in the rain. This is not my working mood.

      – Clear.

      – Do you want to play the console?

      – In the console?

      – Yes, Jan. Agree. It will be fun!

      – No doubt.

      – Then let’s go.

      We went into a room with a huge TV, a set-top box and a soft sofa and spent half a day playing games, burning with laughter, because playing with Misha turned out to be very fun. After that we went to have lunch in the living room.

      – Are you cooking yourself?

      – Basically, yes. I love this business. But sometimes I hire special people or order food. in general I love to cook.

      «You are the dream of any modern girl, Misha,» I said, gobbling up a pork steak with a delicious sauce. – why are not you married?

      – I… I am an artist, Yana. I have a hard temperament. In addition, for a long time I have not met a girl who would catch my heart, like you, Yana. Well, don’t think that I didn’t have a relationship before you. I just think it will be easier for both of us now to continue living without remembering the past. And you attract me.

      – Misha, don’t.

      – But why? I like you. At least as a friend. And you, apparently, do not really need my money.

      «I don’t need them at all. I have a good job, I can support myself. Do you want to know the real reason why I ended up here?

      – Only if you say it yourself. I will not insist.

      – Just promise that you won’t feel sorry for me or laugh.

      – I give you my word.

      – Well.

      – In general, I need a timeout.

      – In terms of?

      – Well, after my, let’s say, half-prince leaves, I cannot be alone in the apartment. There are simply too many memories.

      – I understand you perfectly and you did the right thing. A change of scenery will greatly help you to rest and recuperate. To be honest, I understand you much more than you can imagine.

      Misha’s look suddenly became extremely sad. I realized that our destinies are somehow similar. And this is probably why they are related. I wanted to cheer this man up as he cheers me up.

      – So I thought so too. And my friend insisted very much, otherwise she threatened to hand me over to a psychiatric hospital if I stay in the apartment and refuse your offer.

      «But your friend needs money. I knew it right away.

      – But how?

      – Very easy. Yana, I drew more than one girl and many were eager to stay with me for the sake of money, to undress for the sake of money and even more for the sake of money. Someone spoke openly, someone hid it, but not you. I see honesty in your eyes and this is the most important thing why the amount that I offered you is ten times the amount that I offered to the last girl. Because paintings are sold at a much higher price. but few people know about it.

      – Do not judge strictly. Many people need money simply because they need it and that’s it. My friend is also not in the best position right now. But she has no one to help.

      – If you want, I will lend her money in installments at the right time, but only at your request. Tell me, how much does she need?

      – Fifty thousand.

      – Dollars?

      – What are you, Misha? Rubles, of course!

      – But this is a trifle!

      – Only for those who have such a sum, but she does not have enough to study. And if she does not find this amount in a month, then the long four and a half years of study will go to smark. A year of study costs more than a hundred thousand, but she only raised seventy. She got loans, but she has nowhere else to get money.

      – Do you know your girlfriend’s bank card number?

      – Misha, don’t, what are you?

      «I don’t give money to you or
