Forgetting The Painful Effort

Chapter 22

Darrick's POV

"What are you doing?" I ask Landen when I notice that he's doing something with a paper.

"I'm drawing." He says.

I look at him while he moves a long greens thing over the paper, where a long brown thing is already drawn in the middle of a paper.

It doesn't take long before I realise that he's drawing a tree.

"Do you want to draw too?" He asks me, and I nod.

He gives me a clean paper, and he moves the colourful long things to the middle of the table.

I sit in front of him, and I take the blue thing, before I start to draw the clouds.

It doesn't look perfect, but it's good enough for me.

Landen groans, which makes me looks to him.

"My pencil broke." He explains, and then he puts it aside, before he takes another one with a similar colour.

Well, I guess that those colourful things are pencils.

I finish the clouds, and then I take a greens pencil, before I drawer some grass.

Then I draw some flowers, and a few trees at the edge of the paper.

Lewis comes here almost right after I'm done, so I show him what I drew.

"Is it a clearing in the woods?" He asks me, and I nod.

I guess that it's not bad if he was able to recognise it.

"It looks great." He says.

"Thanks." I say with a smile.

I give him a kiss, but I frown when he chuckles.

I let him go, and I look at him curiously, wondering why he was laughing.

He just gestured to Landen, who's now covering his eyes with his hand, although I can see that he's still looking through his fingers.

"Sorry." I say, and he shrugs, before he looks at his drawing again.

"I lived with Logan and Henry for a few months." He tells me, and I'm not entirely sure if I know what he means, but it makes Lewis laugh, so I do the same.

"I wasn't that bad." Logan says, which makes all for us look at the direction where his voice came from.

I didn't even know that he was here, and it seems that Landen didn't know either, because his eyes are wide now.

He continues to draw, but Logan comes here, and he picks him up from his sit.

Landen chuckles slightly, and he tries to get away when Logan starts to tickle him.

"Do you want to hang out with Dior and me?" Lewis asks me, and I nod slightly

I promised Lewis that I will hang out with his friend, because apparently Dior is very annoyed that he didn't get to meet me yet.

Lewis said that it's because Dior is his best friend, and he should have introduced me to Dior a lot time ago.

I reminded him that we already met each other, but Lewis told me that I should just forget about it.

So, I guess that I will have to meet Dior again, and hopefully I won't have to do it again.

Although I'm pretty sure that if something will go wrong, then Lewis will tell me to forget it too.
