I gotta be honest—I’ve done a lot with her. Private jets, courtside seats, you name it. She’s given me experiences I never thought I’d reach. But somehow, we never had a moment quite like this—just the two of us, nowhere to go, nothing fancy, just time spent together.
Planning a Different Kind of Date
Today, I decided to switch things up. Instead of our usual elaborate activities, I wanted to create something simple but meaningful. I put together a charcuterie board (or as I jokingly call it, the “chuchi board”—hoping for... well, you know) filled with cheeses I’ve been scared to try, strawberry biscuits, cookies, figs, honey, crackers, and toasted bread—the very best for a beautiful woman.
I’ll admit, I was a little nervous about the activity I had planned, so I tried hyping her up first. She looked amazing today, even though we agreed to keep her off-camera for now.
The Painting Challenge
Our challenge for the day was: in one hour, we had to paint each other’s portraits. Sounds simple, right? But here’s the catch—we’re both terrible at drawing!
“Are you an artist?” I asked her.
“Are you an artist?” she shot back.
And the answer from both of us was a loud, clear “NO.” On a scale of 1 to 10 for artistic skills, I’d rate myself somewhere in the negatives. She’s way better at math, which I praised as being “good with money”—a quality I seriously admire!
The “Paint Me Like One of Your French Girls” Moment
As we got ready to pose, she joked that I should paint her like Rose from Titanic. I had to laugh—such an iconic scene—but I went with a more natural pose instead.
While setting up, we tried some Brie with honey. Turns out, it wasn’t actually Brie, but whatever it was, it paired perfectly with the honey. An unexpected but delicious combo.
The Contest Begins
“Alexa, one hour!” And just like that, the challenge began, with some smooth R&B playing in the background. To be fair, she originally reached for a pencil, but I reminded her—this was a painting challenge, not a sketching one! Gotta play fair.
While we painted, we kept checking in on each other:
“How’s yours coming along?”
“How’s yours?”
The little details were tough for me. I had a bit of confidence in the beginning, but… yeah, things didn’t go as I imagined.
The Unexpected Results
In the end, we both finished earlier than expected. I wrapped up with 10 minutes to spare, and she finished 2 minutes after that.
“So, how do you feel about your masterpiece?” I asked.
“You know, it’s the effort that counts—I gave it my best. I never said I was Picasso,” she replied with a smile.
And honestly, she warned me! And yeah, I’m no Picasso either.

The Big Reveal
When we revealed our paintings, I gotta be real... they looked nothing like us! Her lips did not look like that, and I definitely couldn’t finish painting her braided hair in time. But it wasn’t a big deal.
As for her portrait of me… “Why is my neck so dark?” I asked. Turns out, she was trying to paint one of my tattoos!
A Sweet Ending
Even though the results weren’t masterpieces, we laughed a ton. When I asked if we’d be having a second date, she said, “Of course!”
That’s exactly what I wanted to hear. We hugged, and I gotta say—it was a really great night. Sometimes, the simplest things bring the most joy.
And yep, we’re ready for more adventures to come! 😉
