The next day. I wake up and become excited; automatically thinking of my handsome JESSE will wear. I guess this is a date; so I will change into something glamorous; something fancy like all the celebrities dress like. Oh wait… I’m poor.. damn.. that’s right.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYkyCWPKVK
Anyways; I change into a casual pink graphic tshirt that states “I RULE.” I smile at the shirt’s expression and pair my outfit with blue-straight jeans and pink sandals. I tie my hair into a quick ponytail; grab my amazing, and most favourite tiny-blue backpack and leave….
_____________________
I arrive at PATSON TOWN HALL. PATSON TOWN HALL is a heritage-listed site with ancient architecture. I believe it was built in the 1700’s… I mean… I must admit… I do love ancient architecture.
Man… the traffic this morning is booming. I walk towards the entrance PATSON TOWN HALL; and notice a lone figure… I think to myself… that has got to be my man JESSE. I squeal my way in excitement; as I make my way over to him.
I stand beside him; and greet him….80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNCm56qrpb
“Hi JESSE. Hey… nice to see you.”
JESSE smiles and responds:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbehTReqvl
“Nice to see you…”
JESSE is in a casual red shirt and black jeans; with black sandals. He stares at me; I feel the love he feels in his heart. He speaks:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuPqNeJ3aw
“Um as I said… I’m actually a freelance artist myself…. I uh…. My dream job is to be an ARTIST… but uh… that’s not always guaranteed. Too much competition; but uh… I’m also here to get to know people around town; so I can get a job here… and fund my dream.”
I smile… I have to see his art someday. I have to… I have to. I am overcome with excitement but manage to stay cool. I speak to him…80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLilmTS5Bm
“You know… I can help you get a job.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG0KUnmPdL
He smiles and responds;80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1E9bqEtUH
“What… I mean… you will… you will?
I nod my head. He responds:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexRyx5CfNQ
“Thanks… thanks… thanks…”
He hugs me… I smile with love. I feel his warm body temperature warming up my body… I smile as he returns to look at me. He speaks:
“Man I just… I’ve never met someone so helpful when moving to a new town…. Thank you… thank you from the bottom of my heart. I appreciate it.”
We both exchange smiles as we both walk into PATSON TOWN HALL..
_____________________
We are officially inside… I have never been inside the town hall. I mean that’s a lie.. maybe on a school excursion; but I can hardly remember that boring festive memory. I smile as I look in awe at the vinyl shelves; at the most red-brimstone looking staircase. I know it’s funny.. but I feel like I’m a royal… in the most beautiful castle you can ever imagine…
I smile as I walk beside the most majestic man JESSE. I watch JESSE approach the TOWN HALL CLERK… and enquire about art pieces. He speaks:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LFSrLOj0t
“Yeah… hello there. I’m an artist. I just moved in town and was wondering if I could put my art pieces up in display…. I uh… it’s my dream to become an artist and I’d love the community to see my work.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5wWHszwMc
The clerk responds:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqH87SJFiJ
“Ah yes… yes sure… we do have an artist application form you can fill out and sign. Could you provide me a portfolio of you work?”
He responds:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnFroIklF1
“Yes… yes sure..” JESSE hands the clerk a portfolio of his work. I can’t see as I stand behind him; but I am certain the man’s work is amazing; as his gestures are… I don’t even have to have proof..
The clerk looks at the portfolio of work that JESSE had just given her. She looks amazed and speaks her mind:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYlTYIk99p
“Wow… wow young man… just wow… I uh.. I’m impressed.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvYFyAZddP
The clerk’s eyes are peeled on the portfolio of work. She is simply amazed… it’s like she is lost for words. I smile… she continues speaking:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuaE0RXjng
“Well young man… I reckon this work will be approved by the TOWN HALL’s members… I most certainly assure you that… it’s amazing…”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT7sOWj7s7
He responds;80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYElsZx8zG6
“Thanks… thanks… I really appreciate the compliment.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6d0QCoRue
The clerk responds:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAXucVqXZ3
“Okay… well next step for your artistic journey and your portfolio of work to be put on display; is to please fill out the application form as I said.”
JESSE recalls being told before and speaks his mind:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7RimMyhtB
“Yes…. Yes I will…”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5ZwB80YC5
I smile as I wait for JESSE to fill out the application form. He finishes minutes later; and hands it back to the CLERK. The CLERK still has an amazing look on her eyes and speaks her mind:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ826rcRxZ4a
“Once again… marvellous work… I’ll be happy to see this put on display. Good luck”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB719YX7nU
He responds: “Yes’
JESSE looks at me; I smile at him back. He speaks:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTiDm2dhR5
“So you know who’s hiring around town.”
I smile and offer my assistance. I speak:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbzdsBrlgr
“Yes… yes JESSE. The local retail shop is hiring.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNgoA8DMfa
He smiles at me. I smile with love. He speaks: “Well I shall apply there. I’ll flick through an email. But uh..” He doesn’t finish what he was going to say. I am worried but keep calm; certain he will finish what he was going to say.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBXtH8QtH3
A minute passes; he doesn’t. I speak up: “But uh what… What were you going to say.”
He gulps and breathes. Then smiles and looks at me. He speaks:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pOfyiFRTd
“Oh uh… I don’t want to appear creepy… or stranger-danger… but I’d really love you to come over… as a friend that’s all. To show you… to showcase my art pieces. It’ll mean the world.” I smile and try to contain my excitement. I respond swiftly:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMxAhgIFCI
“Yes.. yes sure… and whilst you’re there… you can flick an email. Yes… yes sure…”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pl0Ybwvmo
He smiles at my excitement and speaks:80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodTTjDq2V1
“Good… I’ll drive us there… come with me.”
I smile with love; as I follow this manly JESSE to his red SUBARU FORESTER. Calm down NANCY…. Calm down… remain composure. This is just a friendly chat and friendly session I’ll be having with JESSE…80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPb1EP1n62
