Chapter 5 'Desires Within My Pained Heart'

It's dark around me. It's suffocating my life and will to move on. Why does the dark still have a comforting feeling around it?

Blaze's POV

After the three of us finished eating in the kitchen we went to the workroom.

''How are your projects going?'' Duyon asked me when I grabbed some drawings I made from the desk. I turned my face to look at him. ''Good. I've finished my project with the prime president of Japan. The painting turned real good and he's enjoying them in his office and home'' I told Duyon with a smile before turning my face and putting the drawings inside the drawer.

''What is your next project?'' He asked me while keeping his eyes on me. I turned to look at Samuel who was standing by the door looking at us.

I can't bring myself to talk about Kira, because he knows she's a regular client of mine. But how will he react if he knows what she did and said to me?

I can't lie to him because that's not how our relationship is built. We trust each other's privacy and never lie about what's going on in our lives. That's why our relationship is still great.

Even if we don't see each other anymore because of our career choices and work. It wasn't easy for us to accept that we will see each other less and less because we want to make a lot of money and enjoy it later when we get older together.

I don't know how much I can't take this kind of lifestyle until I give up.

''Kira wants another painting done'' I told him in a serious tone without looking at him. I don't want Duyon seeing my face because he's too good at reading my expressions. ''Blaze, look at me when we are talking'' Duyon said in a hurt tone while trying his best not to sound harsh.

I turned and walked up to him while keeping my eyes on his face. ''She wants a nude painting of herself'' I said in a serious tone while staring at him. His reaction wasn't the one I expected he would show.

He began to laugh while his beautiful white teeth were showing before covering his mouth with his hands, in order to stop himself from continuing laughing. I smiled when hearing him laughing, it was a while since I saw him laughing. His laugh was the cutest and when he's trying to stop laughing, the corner of his eyes always water. He looks so innocent and pure while laughing.

I glanced over to see Samuel with a small smile looking at Duyon. He was staring at Duyon, it was funny seeing Samuel so confused but also so lost at the same time. Seeing a beautiful male model laugh isn't something you see every day.

''She's really crazy!'' Duyon said while whipping the tears of the corner of his eyes.

''I know!'' Samuel told him before walking up to us so he could join the conversation.

''How's your work? You are very busy these days'' I asked him while looking at his smile disappearing instantly. ''We have some new patients. I need to test them thoroughly in order to treat them'' Duyon said in a serious tone without showing any emotion on his face.

It looks like he isn't willing to talk but he also can't because of the privacy his patients have.

''There a boy whose father was found dead inside the house. They thought the father of the boy committed suicide but now there are investigating again because they think the boy killed his dad'' Samuel said all of the sudden in a hard tone while waiting for Duyon's reply.
