I'm making up for not uploading for a week by posting this one day after the last part. :) hehehe
Here is Part 5! of A Mess to Paint. I guess I'm over the little 'road block'. Though, I'd love it if some of you have some ideas to put into the story...just PM me them. :)

&& I wanted to give a big thank you to AnoeskaB for the easel I use. Her easel allows me to panit on four different types of canvases, and I've used it a lot! :D

 I managed to get over it quicker than I had before. That hollow spot in my heart had taken up permanent residence. I knew life had to go on, so I woke up, ready for a day of work in my gallery. I was still thinking about the wedding, and wasn't fully aware of everything going on around me. Someone could have rearranged the couches in the lobby area, and I wouldn't have even noticed. I was ringing up Mrs. Billingsley when he walked in. I sighed. I can't have him here. I was hoping that he would just leave alone. But, no luck.

I knew I had to be the bigger person, so I decided to push away my emotions. I walked over to where Gill was standing and did my job.
"Can I help you?" I'll admit, my tone was a bit snappy... "Yah, actually Lea, I'd like to talk to you." "Look, I know what you must be thinking. I know what you think happened, but it really wasn't like that. I tried to call to explain, but you never answered. And, I have a feeling you told your roomates that you were busy or whatever." "Gill, no. It's over. Even if you hadn't done what you did, we couldn't pick back up three years later." "Lea, I know you loved me. I wasn't lying when I said I wanted to try staying together while I was away. Why would I have screwd it up? Huh? And, I wasn't lying when I told you I loved you. And, I'm not lying when I say I still love you." "Why are you doing this? Are you not satisfied with whatever girl you're currently hooking up with? Gill, everyone knew of your reputation, but I was nieve so I didn't listen. Yes, I loved you - so much. But the truth is, I can't let you hurt me again. I know what you're capable of..." "Geez Lea! Listen to yourself. You still love me, I can tell, and yet your fighting it because of what you THINK happened. You were all about giving me a chance to prove myself and you weren't going to listen to anyone else's opinon about me, but now....

"You've changed. You're just as bad as everyone else was." "Don't say that....."

Why was this happening?
I saw a lady patiently waiting by the cash register. Finally - a way out.
"Gill, I have to ring up a customer...."
I walked away, my mind spinning and my heart heavy. I slowly punched in the keys for Ms. Tinker's purchase.
"That will be $243, MS. Tinker."

"Lea," I heard from behind her.
Gill was not giving up. "Lea...."
Gill got down on one knee and began to sing.

"Tomorrow morning if you wake up,
and the sun does not appear,
I will be here..."

"If in the dark, we lose sight of love,
Hold my hand, and have no fear,
'Cause I will be here,
I will be here."

"When you feel like being quiet,
When you need to speak your mind,
I will listen,
And I will be here." All of the customers in the store had turned to look at him, and me. My face felt hot and I knew my cheeks were red. But, I didn't know if I was embarrased or angry.
He continued.

"When the laughter turns to cryin',
Through the winning, losing and trying,
We'll be together,
I will be here."

"Tomorrow morning, if you wake up,
And the future is unclear,
I will be here."

"Just as sure as seasons were made for change,
Our lifetimes were made for these years,
So I will be here,
I will be here." "And you can cry on my shoulder,
When the mirror tells us we're older,
I will hold you,
And I will be here."

"To watch you grow in beauty,
And tell you all the things you are to me,
I will be here."
"Tomorrow morning, if you wake up,
And the sun does not appear,
I will be here,
Oh, I will be here."

He looked at me, but didn't say anything. I stared at him. "Gill, go. Just go."
My voice cracked as I shouted at him. I could feel that my eyes were wet.

He looked at me and then looked at the people that had become his audience. He slowly got up off of his knee and walked out the door. "Christina, no! He's right...he's telling the truth - just let him back in to your heart."
As soon as I had said something, I knew I should be telling myself the exact thing, but I couldn't.

How could Gill do this to me? In front of everyone that thought of me as a strong woman, and then he comes back into my life and immeadiately breaks my facade. Why? I had closed my gallery up and gone upstairs.
I grabbed a bag of Grandma's Famous Cookies and plopped myself down on the couch to watch a soap opera. I couldn't paint anything but him the next few days. He was always on my mind, and I couldn't think of anything else to paint. I tried to inspire myself by watching tv, reading a book, and reading the newspaper, but still - all I could think about was Gill... What did he want me for again? To show everyone that he could get me back in the snap of a finger? Well, he won't. No matter what, I thought to myself, I won't fall for Gill again....but I knew it was too late. I already had.

    Good portrait of emotions, how it's difficult to let go in those cases and how there's a chance of falling again for someone.

    Good work \:\)

    hmmm, it sounds like nothing happend and she misinterpreted what happend or something...
    but why did he stay away so long? or why did he wait so long?
    if it wasn't for the fact, that he creeps me out( the possessiveness and hitting..O_O) i would say, aaw happy end... but as i said, those little things aren't little at all.

    i do like Lea alot, she's got a lot of depth and made something of herself, or is trying and learning a lot.

    i think she should find someone else, like with that click, and " a right feeling" that carmen and holden have( i like those characters too btw \:D)

    ( i secretly see a teenager coming in to buy a painting for her/his father and he comes back, because he wants to meet the artist and then they fall in love-well not so fast off course because she is like hurt and has trust issues-but i'm not writing the story\:D)

    but i'm getting way to caught up in this story. lol, so you know i love it \:wub\: can't wait till the next part!!!
