Blu's Mute

Chapter 22: Paints and Problems

Dominic’s POV-

As I dipped the paint brush in the black glob of pain set on the paper plate Blu chukled,

“So, your saying, if paint’s were to become illegal. You would find a ‘paint dealer’ just so you could still do your art?” I nodded, adding a few dark black strokes in the painting to deepen the color of the hair,

“And i'd pay my pain dealer in paintings." I replied with a smile, dropping the paintbrush into the mug of water beside my paints as I rubbed my hands on my pants, getting black paints on them. Once i'd fully cleaned my paintbrush of dark green paint I mixed green with white to make the pale color I wanted. Blu looked up at me with a smile, I was sitting cross-legged, my canvas in front was set to stand up with an easel, as Blu laid back with his head in my lap, the rest of his body laid to my left, as my paints and such were to my right.

“You'd be willing to break the law for your art?" he said with a fake gasp, “The Dominic I know is an angel and wouldn't dream to take a tag off a mattress, let alone break a law." he said with another chuckle, I added the green to the eyes in the painting,

“Yeah well I guess i'm just your little rebel aren't I?" Blu rolled his eyes and lifted his hand to snake around the back of my neck, lifting himself and pulling me to kiss him, taking my attention from my painting.

“Yeah, you're so hard core." he scoffed as he laid back on my lap with a lazy smile, I looked back at the painting, I was painting Blu laying down, his hair was resting on his forehead and sprawled slightly on the grass underneath his head, he was smiling and his eyes shined as he looked at you through the canvas. Blu looked up at the canvas and back at me, “I love sitting here with you babe, but I really have to pee.” he chuckled and sat up, kissing my cheek before hurrying off towards the park bathroom across the field.

I bit my lip as I added the pale green to his eyes again, adding depth to his eyes, when there was a hand on my shoulder, turning me to look back and see who it was.

“Evans, darling, isn’t this quite a coincidence.” Georgia said cheerfully with a smile, her sunglasses were on top of her head and her eyes only reminded me that I was related to her, I pulled my shoulder away from her touch and glared at her,

“Leave me alone Georgia.” I murmured collecting my paints together so I could leave. She chuckled coldly,

“You can act like your tough Evans, but i’m your mother. I know you, and I know i’ll win this case.” I watched as she pulled her sunglasses down to cover her eyes with a sadistic smile, “I also know how worthless you are, but with that rich boyfriend of yours I’ll be able to stand it, though I don’t know what he see’s in you.” a lump formed in my throat, I wanted to yell at her that she’s the worthless one, and to call her a million names, to scream until I lost my voice, but I couldn’t.

“Why don’t you fucking leave before I call the cops for you harassing my boyfriend?” I looked to see Blu, his jaw was tense and his eyes filled with anger. “And even if you were to win the case i’d get him out of your filthy hands the second he turned eighteen and make sure you don’t get a goodbye, let alone a penny from him or me.” he stepped beside me and helped me stand up before wrapping his arm around me protectively,

“Georgia, you should leave before we call the cops.” I threatened, more strength in my voice than I thought I had. She scoffed and tilted her head,

“Fine, but when I win this trial, and I get Dominic, I could easily take him from you. And you wouldn’t want that, so, i’d be very easy to win over with a check.” with that she sauntered off.

“You don’t think she’ll win do you?” I asked Blu after a long time of silence, his arm slipped off my shoulder and he sighed, bending down to pick up our stuff.

“I trust your dad to do his best Dominic.” the thought of my mother winning the trial and having costody of me terrified me. It froze me to the core of my being to think of living under the same roof as the woman, let alone her having control of me, and like she said, she could take me away from Blu, move us away, get a restraining order, or something worse. 

Blu’s hand found mine on our drive home, squeezing my hand in comfort,

“Even if she did win and took you from me i’d find a way to get you back. That i’m sure of.” he said with a determined smile.
