Blu's Mute

Chapter 12: The Taste of a Cigarette

So, to the right is the song that's heard later on just for your information :D

-Friday-

I’ve been on cloud nine all over again since Dominic kissed me, it was a shock that he’d even initiated it, he’s usually so shy. I haven’t been able to spend time with him because of baby stuff with Gab and he’s had school projects to do. Luckily today Gab and Kayla were off with some friends shopping for baby clothes, the baby’s gender is unknown, Gab want’s it to be a surprise, so their getting both boy and girl clothes. I dragged the trash bag out to the garbage can in the back, Nat was off at a photo shoot so I’m home alone. Leaning back against the side of the house I pulled the cigarette from my lips and blew the smoke out in little rings. 

I began to hear some music play from the Favara’s, knowing it’s Dominic painting I smiled. Chase was off at a girl’s house, and their parents were out for a date night so it had to be him. I hopped the fence and strode into the house, using the backup key hidden under a plant, I snuck up to the room the music was coming from, Dominic’s room.

I watched the proverbial sunrise

Coming up over the Pacific and

You might think I'm losing my mind,

But I will shy away from the specifics...

'cause I don't want you to know where I am

'cause then you'll see my heart

In the saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

I opened the door quietly, revealing a room with walls that were once white, now covered in small, large, and medium sized paintings of numerous images, people, animals, and anything else, I snuck around the dresser beside the doorway  to reveal the rest of his room. He sat on his bed cross legged, his radio played the song as he was working on a canvas, painting slowly with still hands

I'm sorry for the person I became.

I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.

I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again

'cause who I am hates who I've been.

Who I am hates who I've been.

I talk to absolutely no one.

Couldn't keep to myself enough.

And the things bottled inside have finally begun

To create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.

I made sure to hide behind the dresser, out of his sight so he wouldn’t stop, he sat with his left side facing me so one wrong move and he’d see me. I could see he was mouthing the words, mentally I urged for him to let a few words slip past those beautiful lips

And I can't let that happen again

'cause then you'll see my heart

In the saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

I’m sorry for the person I became

I’m sorry that it took so long for me to change

I’m ready to be sure I never become that way again

’cause who I am hates who I’ve been

who I am hates who i’ve been

He sighed softly as the song ended, he looked over to my direction and raised a brow,

‘I know you’re there Blu.’ he signed, I stepped out from behind the dresser and noticed a smaller canvas beside the medium one. As I looked closer I noticed the smaller one had a detailed painting of Dominic with my name in sign under his head, was this the panting he made in art class? He blushed as I noticed the medium canvas was just the image in a larger form.

“What’s this?” I asked, sitting beside him, he blushed a darker shade and covered his eyes with a hand,

‘It’s a painting I made in art, I liked it so I decided to make a larger version.’ he signed awkwardly,

“It’s beautiful.” I complimented as I looked closer at the details,

‘You don’t have to be nice, it’s not that good.’ he signed, avoiding eye contact as he bit his lip sadly,

“I’m not just being nice, i’m serious...” he looked up at me with uncertainty, I don’t know why I did it, but I let the question that’d been stuck in my head since our first date slip out of my mouth “Dominic, would you be my boyfriend?” I voiced the words i’d been wondering and his face filled with shock, then he smiled softly as he hung his head low again.

‘I’d love to.’ he signed as he blushed, I lifted my hand under his chin and tilted his head up and kissed him softly, he wrapped his arms around my neck as his lips moved with mine. He tasted of pastries and sweets. He pulled away and gave me a weird look,

‘You taste like smoke...'  he signed after unwrapping his arms from my neck, I chuckled as he scrunched his nose up ‘Why do you taste like cigarette smoke?’

“Because I just had a cigarette.” I murmured as I wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned in to kiss him again. He put his hand to my lips and pushed my head back,

“What?” I asked with a chuckle as he gave me the most adorable stern look ever.

‘Smoking’s bad for you and tastes gross.’ he crossed his arms over his chest.

“I don’t do it that often.” I managed to peck him on the lips, "I’ve got to go, Nat’s gonna be home soon and with a friend, if I don’t lock myself in my room before the’re here I won’t make it to my room when they are, and will probably end up sleeping in the backyard with whatever crazy shit they do to me.” he chuckled and shrugged,

‘Thats Natty for ya.’ I nodded, he gave me a hug then led me to the back door where I crossed the yard to my fence and climbed it to my backyard.
