The Blindness Love

Chapter 1

Lucius Vallentino's POV

"Master, it's time" I fixed my necktie and my hair before I walked out of my room and started walking.

"Is father already there?" I asked while walking downstairs, "Yes" My father's assistant answered as we both headed towards the front door.

I'm wearing a black suit, a casual button blazer.

When the front door opened I immediately saw the limousine, so it was certain that we were going to an elegant restaurant. What else can I expect from a family with a company in Singapore.

"Son you're finally here. Let's go, his father has a tiny bit of temper so we should hurry up" I didn't say anything and enter the limousine before he drove, I was silent the whole time and just staring outside the window, admiring the city lights and those tall buildings.

It wasn't long before we arrived at a fancy restaurant that only rich people can be seen wearing rich clothes and jewelry worth a million, someone plays romantic tunes on the side while someone dances and they never fail to entertain others.

"Son, they are there" I followed my father who was walking towards a large round table and there were people there, I couldn't see their face properly because they were far away but when we got a little closer I can now see them properly.

My eyes immediately looked for that man but I don't think he's here, the others are quite old and it's obvious that they can all see.

"Stai cercando mio figlio? in the bagno?" I was a little surprised because the 'mother' I think? Is speaking Italian. (Are you looking for my son? He's in the bathroom)

"I see" We take a seat and my father talks to them while I'm waiting for that guy, I wanted to meet him.

"This is Lucius? I didn't expect him to be this handsome" Dad said. I think, "Of course, he is my son" My dad replied that made all of them chuckle.

"I heard you're a successful business man in Italy? How old are you again?" The mother asked while smiling, I don't want to be rude so I keep my polite voice and calm demanour just like how I talk to my father.

"Yes I am a business man so I'm always busy, I'm also 27 years old" I answered as politely as I can, I seem to have lost my focus on waiting for that guy because his mother was just keep asking questions . I don't mind though.

"Your father also mentioned that many women didn't last long, that's why I don't expect him to reconcile my son Khazian with you" She said half of disbelief, "Also, are you okay with that idea? You know.. same gender relationship" She said but I didn't answer right away, I can't just say that I like it but it'd be rude to say I hate it.

"I'm really not sure about this because this is the first time I will be reconciled with a man, that's why I want to meet your son and get to know him better" I said politely that made her smile wider.

"Did you father already mentioned that he is.." He intentionally cut off his own words to let me know if I knew, "...blind" I continued.

"Yes and Oh he's finally here, Khazian why did you take so long?" She said while looking behind me and that's when I felt a presence wall pass me, "Sorry mother" I looked up at those angelic and sweet voice.

Is this.. a guy? He's wearing just simple clothes and he's also wearing glasses. No kidding he looks like a girl at first glance, short hair that reaches his upper shoulder and his body.. so slim and sexy just like a real woman's body.

"It's nice meeting you" He flinched slightly when I took his hand and kissed the back of it gently, he looked so shocked and so my father is because I've never done this to anyone before.

It's useless if I shake hands with him anyway, so this is the only way I can think of to not look like a bastard.

He is blind but he's not holding anything else like a cane to support him, it's impressive because he can walk by himself without anyone escorting him.

"You must be Lucius, I've heard a lot about you.. nice to meet you" He said in a very low and shy voice that made me more intrigued.

"So how's your business?" Aunt Natasha asked. She's Khazian's mother and I just found out that Khazian is half Russian because his mother is.

"Everything is great, it's doing well" I answered politely, I also know that he is good at painting I'm getting impressed honestly.

"Is he your only child?" I asked while staring at Khazian, I can't take my eyes off him probably because I still can't believe that he's a guy.

"Yes, Khazian is our only baby" I nodded and turned my gaze to Khazian again, he's eating quietly and peacefully and the way he moved you'd think he was actually seeing something.

The way he cuts, stabs the steak with a fork is really impressive, he is well trained.

"It looks like you want to ask or tell me something, we can talk if you want" He said that made me startled.

"How did you know?" I asked with my neutral voice, "I can feel your gaze" He weakly replied that I adjusted the seat, did I stare for too long? Ugh.. that's so embarrassing Lucius.

"Can I know if you are blind since birth? If you're uncomfortable answering my question, you don't have to" I said but I'm hoping that he'll answer.

"Khazian, he said you don't have to-"

"It's okay mom. Uhm well no, I wasn't born blind.. I'm normal before-" I cut him off.

"Sorry but.. before? You're still a normal person now, disability is no reason not to be called normal" I said making everyone who was with us at the table turn their gaze at me, even my father.

"What? I'm just telling the truth, and you should always remember that" I said while turning my gaze back at him, he looked surprised as if he had just heard those words.

"T-thankyou I guess?" He said with a bit of a smile that slightly surprised his mom, "You smile, oh my Khazian" His mom spoke softly.

"I'm so proud of you son" My father whispered to me, looks like this is a long night for me.

My father is talking with Khazian's father and also the other business man, let them get the same table for the same bills.

There are various conversations but sometimes dad is asking me.

"So what happened?" I asked not sounding so eager to know the reason, I don't want to make him uncomfortable.

"It's.. because of someone" I was a little surprised by what he said, that's why his mommy mentioned that he is very elusive to people.

"Anyway! Why don't you tell him how good your painting is? I'm sure he'll be impressed" Aunt Natasha but in maybe she felt that Khazian suddenly became gloomy, I can't blame here she must be worried cause Khazian was too traumatized by what happened and why he went blind because of that someone.

"Mom, it's embarrassing" I heard Khazian whisper to aunt, "There's nothing to be ashamed of" I said seriously while staring at him intently, I can't get rid of what he said about the reason for his blindness.

As a matter of fact, even if I don't know what happened, if I were in his situation I would be traumatized if I lost my sight because of someone.

"You're so kind" I raised my eyebrow, Is that what he thinks of the word kind? If he thinks like that, he can easily be taken advantage of by others.

I'm not that kind. I just don't want to be rude.. especially in front of so many people, embarrassment can destroy a person's image.

And people like him are easy to take advantage of.

After the dinner that night, Khazian and I got along very well he's still shy but he's becoming a talkative person after.

He talked about how he learned to act even though he is blind, but sometimes he makes mistakes and worse he bumps into things that's why he doesn't want to stay in someone's house.

I still want to know him completely because I am intrigued by him especially how he moves, so I insist to let him live in my house.

His mother told me that Khazian can be hunted by people but we don't have a maid because I don't want to hire a maid either, and I don't need another one to serve me.

He said that he will convince Khazian so I didn't force myself, his family liked me and we all have a talk after their business. We talk about Khazian and their words only fuel my interest.

"How is Khazian to you son? He's good right? Khazian is a good guy, he's good at everything" Father said while we're now inside the Lamborghini.

"Father, do you know why he became blind?" I suddenly asked that caught him off-guard.

"Well, when we were in the hospital they said it was a car accident, then when Khazian woke up he couldn't see anything" I looked at my father again.

"You are there? What are you doing in there?" I asked while frowning, for sure that's his business trip in Europe, "Business trip" He answered, I knew it.

"Is there still a possibility that he can see?" I asked with my neutral voice, "Yes. After all, he would have seen for a long time if it wasn't for his-" My brows furrowed when he stopped his words.

"I don't think I have a right to tell you that" I just frowned because he hung up on me, I really want to know.

Suddenly my cellphone rang so I didn't think twice to answer, as expected it's Khazian's mom I wonder if she already convinced him.

"Lucius! I'm glad you picked up the phone, I would like to ask a favor if you can accompany Khazian to the doctor tomorrow" I don't have much to do tomorrow but I have a meeting, "Yeah sure, what time?" But I just thought this was an opportunity to find out what really happened to him.

"Is that the same doctor where you took him for treatment?" I asked, "Yes that's right, and khazian didn't know that you would be the one with him" She said while giggling as if she just did something silly.

"Anyway tomorrow at 7am, don't be late his appointment is at 8am" She said and I just kept answering politely before she hung up the phone, I dialed the company landline and my secretary immediately answered.

"Cancel my meeting tomorrow" I said simply, "Yes sir, but why? I thought you wanted to talk to mr. Nailla?" She said.

"Reschedule all my meetings, I have something important to do" I said before hanging up without waiting for her answer.

Hmm what should I call him? My future wife? It seems awkward if it's a husband, well he looks like a woman at first glance so there's probably no problem.

I still can't believe I'm marrying him, even on paper only.

A blind guy with the possibility of seeing again huh, but I want him to stay clueless..

"Khazian my boy, are you getting ready?" I smile at my mother and nod.

Because today is the day of my check up for my eyes, every month I have my eyes checked and every time I also hope that someday I will be able to see again.

"Son, when will you see again? I want to be with you again in the province, I want you to see mommy again" He said softly that I smiled a little, "Even if I want to see you, please let me see you again. will watch" I said laughing that he laughed too.

"Son, just tell me what to do or maybe you have to pay something to see you again, right? You know we will do everything for your daddy to see you" He said while holding my hand which made me smile.

"Yes po" I answered while smiling sweetly.

"Anyway, have you thought about it?" He asked, frowning slightly, "Which one?" I will ask.

"If you're going to live in Lucius' house, he'll be alone in his mansion.. I also want the two of you to get along" He said while stroking my hair, actually I've thought about that and I wanted to say no.

It's just that I don't want to disappoint mommy, so I can't decide properly if I agree or not.

"You know I'm not good at it, and besides, it would be embarrassing for Lucius if I break something he used.. he might even get mad at me" I used a low tone in the last word as if I was ashamed.

"He told me that it's fine, go ahead, son, so that you two can get along and also so that it won't be difficult for people" His insistence made me hold my breath.

"I'll think about it again" I could feel his grip tightening on my hand, "Alright son, no problem" He said and straightened my hair, I could feel his caress on my hair and my cheek making me smile.

Suddenly someone honked outside which made me frown but mommy suddenly screamed a little which made me even more scared, "He's here!!! Are you ready son? Let's go come here" He said hurriedly and let go of my hand so I walked towards the door.

Slowly and I was surprised because I didn't hear mom's noise anymore but I heard the door opening so I went there, even though I couldn't see anything I could feel and hear it.

I continued walking until I bumped into something hard but I was surprised because he was breathing so I backed up a bit.

"P-p-sorry.. I didn't mean to bump into you, s-sorry.." I said nervously while waiting for them to hit and push me but this person just take my hand and kiss the back of it which makes me flinch.

"It's me.. it's nice to see you again, Khazian" My eyes widened when I recognized his voice, and if I'm not mistaken it was him..

"Lucius?" I asked cluelessly, I heard my mom giggling at my left side, "None other than him" My mom answered.

"Mom.. what is he.. doing here?" I asked shyly and almost a whisper, "oh didn't I tell you? He's the one who will accompany you to the hospital, because mom has something to do, so I hope you understand" Mom answered that my eyes widened and panicked.

"Mom! I-i can go by myself, maybe you're bothering him" I said in a panic but I heard Lucius's handsome laugh which stopped me, "No no it's fine, my future wife is more important than business" He said that made me stunned and then I feel my cheeks burn.

Chapter 2

Lucius Vallentino's POV

"Are you ready?" I asked him politely before holding his hand and making his way to my car, I opened the door for him and guided him to sit at the shotgun seat before I closed the door.

"Please take care of my son, Lucius" His mother said and I just nodded at her before going to the driver's seat.

He's wearing his glasses again and it looks good on him, "Are you comfortable? Do you want me to turn on the air conditioner?" I asked casually.

"Yes please, thank you" He said that made me smile slightly before I turned on the air conditioner and started the engine.

It's funny to think that I can treat him like a real woman, when in my past relationships I didn't treat my wife like this. I'm probably looking ridiculous right now.

"How's your day?" I asked so he wouldn't feel awkward in the silence, "I'm good, how about you?" He asked and I stared at him for a moment before I answered.

I wanted to ask more questions but he might not be comfortable anymore so I just went to the hospital that aunt said.

This is a private hospital and the payment here is also expensive but it seems that they know the owner so they only pay for medicine, that's what my father told me.

When we got there, I went out first and opened the door for him, I also helped him out so he wouldn't trip, "Thank you" His angelic voice is so mesmerizing that every time I hear it, the world seems to stop.

"Is your voice really like that when you were young?" I asked while we're walking inside but I'm still holding his hand, "Yes! Someone always notices my voice, isn't it ugly?" I laughed a little at what he said.

"No definitely not, it's like an angel voice.. your voice is so calming" I said soothingly while smiling, his face flushed and he also smiled that made me smile even more.

How come I'm treating this man which I don't do to others?

"You must be good at singing too" I said and his smile suddenly vanished, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" I asked worriedly.

"Ah, nothing.. just remembered something" He answered that I was surprised, this man must've had a lot of past and not just because of his blindness because I can feel that there's something else.

"Khazian! You're in time honey, it's so nice to see you again" Suddenly a female doctor approaches us as soon as we enter the hospital, she has a big and happy smile on her lips and pulls Khazian into a hug.

"Oh and who's this handsome man? It's odd that you're not with your mother huh, she must be very busy now" The doctor said.

"Yes my mother is busy right now, and this man right here is my... my uhmm.." It was obvious that he was struggling with the answer, that's why I helped him, "I'm his husband" I answered that his eyes widened and looked at me from head to toe.

"Wait you seem familia Wait! Are you the CEO of Vallejo company?!" She said with a shocked expression and I nodded while Khazian had a puzzled expression, "Khazian you don't know him? He's very popular in Australia, Russia, Indonesia especially in Italy" the doctor said in shock, not to brag but I'm proud to be famous.

"Really? He must be a millionaire" Khazian but I just put on a snicker smile and let the doctor tell him who I am, "A millionaire?! No Khazian, he's a billionaire" The doctor said and I felt his body tense a bit.

"Really?" Khazian said in half of disbelief, "Yes he has many assets such as luxurious villas and restaurants, also apartments and gold bars" I sigh softly because of her chatter, she probably knows a lot but Khazian needs to check up so this is enough for now.

"Alright that's enough, we came here to have a check up and you shouldn't have forgotten that" I said a bit stern and she suddenly stopped talking and apologized awkwardly.

"Yes sorry, please follow me" He walked first so Khazian and I followed, he suddenly became quiet so I was surprised.

"You're 27 right?" He suddenly asked that I kept silent for a moment, "Yes, why?" I asked.

"You're amazing, at that age you had riches immediately.. I must say I'm impressed" He said shyly that made me smirk.

I suddenly want to impress him even more, if the return is the compliments from him. There's no lie behind his compliments it's just pure kindness and amazement.

It's like an angel is praising me, it's so nice to hear.

"Don't you see anything Khazian? Hmm I thought it will just take 2 or 3 years, I was wrong" I just sat on the couch while listening to their conversation.

"Keep drinking your medicine ok? And you also need to have a treatment every month, I'll let your mom know so she can remind you too" Said the doctor to which Khazian nodded.

"Khazian, is your hair getting longer? Why don't you cut that out?" I stood up at what he said and approached Khazian before tucking his hair behind his ear, "No he's not going to cut it" I said seriously.

"About his eye, can't it be operated on? It will be easier if it's just opera" I asked, "We need a donor for surgery, and Khazian's parents have been looking for several years but they can't find anyone who can be a donor" She answered with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"I can be his donor" I said directly that surprised them, "W-what? N-no, don't say that" Khazian said with a hint of irritation in his voice.

"Then I will find a donor for you" I said reassuringly that made him sigh, "Thank you but you don't need to do that, I will still see" He answered calmly but I didn't answer anymore.

"Here Khazian extra medicine, don't forget to take them everyday okay? 2 times a day after you wake up and then before you sleep" The doctor said and handed a capsule placed in a small but transparent plastic.

"Also Khazian about your heart" Khazian cut her off, "Uhm.. can we talk about that next time? I want my mom to be here so she knows too, is that alright doc?" The doctor turned her gaze to me but immediately returned to Khazian, her gaze seemed to indicate something and she hesitated.

"Yup, that's alright.. I'm sorry" She said awkwardly before she cleared her throat and smiled forcefully, "Uhm that's all and if you ever feel something just call, I'm always free for you Khazian, especially to your.. eyes" I slightly raised my eyebrows because it seemed like she was thinking twice about saying the last word, as if that wasn't really what she wanted to say.

"Yes, thankyou for your concern" Khazian said with a smile and suddenly grabbed my hand, "Let's go, uhm can we go somewhere before we go home?" He asked softly so I said 'yes' but I still have a puzzle look on my face due to confusion.

Khazian and I walked away while he was walking quietly and I was just staring at him, sometimes I really wonder if he's just pretending to be blind because of the way he moves as if he really can see everything around him.

"Khazian, can I ask?" I asked, "Yes, of course" He answered immediately.

"This might sound offensive, but I hope you don't get offended" I said softly and sighs, "Aren't you just pretending to be blind? You're probably wondering why I asked? I just noticed your movements, it's just like in music you are in perfect rhythm" I said seriously that made him stop, but we were already outside the hospital.

"Did I offend you? I'm sorry, please forget about that" I said worriedly but his smile caught me off guard, "No I'm not offended, I'm glad I didn't waste my waking hours to rehearse. Thank you for saying that actually" He said and removed his glasses, both of my eyebrows raised when I saw his eyes.

It's white just like some of the blind person eyes, "I'm not pretending, I'm really blind and if you notice that I move well it's because I practice at night because I don't want anyone to guide me everywhere" He answered calmly and walked again.

"I thought the cause was a car accident? Why are your eyes all white?" I was about to ask when his face suddenly became serious and my lips parted and my chest heaved at the same time, okay that's scary.

"Please remain smiling, you're giving me a heart attack" He suddenly giggled at what I said so I also smiled a little because if his voice is like an angel, his laugh is so calming his appearance.. well heh.

"Sorry sorry" I didn't say anything until we got to the car and I helped him get in again, "Anyway, where are we going again?" I asked before starting the engine.

"Orphanage" I stopped and turned to look at him in surprise, he seemed to have read my movements. He felt great strength

"I'm just going to visit a little girl, but before that, can we stop at the toy store?" He asked and the. U answer 'yes' again, I started driving while occasionally looking at him, "Who's that little girl?" I asked curiously.

"A friend of mine, she's an angel" He answered softly and I didn't say anything more.

You're an angel too, you just don't know that.

"Khazian wake up, we're here" I was taken aback by that gentle voice and I could also feel him shaking my shoulder.

I licked my eyes but I realized that I couldn't see anything so I grabbed my glasses and put them on, because I didn't want others to see my eyes because I didn't want to hear mocking them.

"We're here right away?" I asked softly, I heard the driver seat door open and close before the shotgun seat opened and I felt his hand holding mine, he's so gentle that you think I'm a treasure that can't be scratched.

He helped me down and when I stepped on the ground, I immediately felt the cold wind hit my skin and the smell of a cookie, they must be eating cookies and milk right now.

We walked while he was supporting me, I really don't want this but I don't want to disappoint him and another one is fine because there aren't many people here.

"Khazian? Long time no see!!" I smiled even though I haven't seen her yet I know her voice, "Sister Elizabeth" I said with a smile and I could feel her presence approaching and I wasn't wrong because she hugged me.

"I'm glad you came to visit again, how are you?" He said happily, so I smiled again, "It's okay, ahh yes, by the way.. this is Lucius" I said with a smile and he received a compliment because of his handsomeness.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any money to give right now-" I couldn't continue because he said, "Khazian, everything you gave me is a big thing, thank you very much" He said so softly that I smiled too.

"Where is Aliyah?" I asked and I heard his footsteps walk away before yelling, "Aliyah! Your brother is here" I was excited when I heard running and my smile widened when I felt a hug on my leg.

"Brother Khazian!" He said happily, I barely sat up to match him before giving him the toy we bought, "For you, how are you? I'm sorry for just now brother" I said softly to which he just giggled and hugged me.

"Brother, who else is with you? Hi Brother pogi" I laughed when he called Lucius, he's really handsome but I didn't think that would always be criticized.

"Hello sweetheart, I'm Lucius your brother's husband" He said making my heart beat faster, "Okay, that's okay bro" Aliyah's innocent whisper made me laugh.

"Brother, just wait, I'll give you something! Don't leave" Aliyah said and suddenly ran so I got ready, "Sister Elizabeth, are you there?" I asked and he answered immediately.

"How is he doing?" I asked and I was worried because he didn't answer right away, "His pain isn't getting worse, is it?" I remember asking.

"Her illness is getting worse Khazian, she is writhing in pain every night" My world almost collapsed when I heard, she also needs a donor and nowadays it is very difficult to find one.

"What is her illness?" Lucius asked who was next to me, "She has heart failure, the doctor told me last day the child's heart is getting weaker and weaker and it is said that it will not be able to pass through the opera, it needs a heart donor" I was weak from what I heard and I feel dizzy.

"Khazian, it's hard to change a child's heart.." I don't want to think negatively but my brain can't stop, "There's nothing we can do, let's just accept it" Sister said as my tears fell, Lucius immediately hugged me that I hugged him back.

"Sister, where is my toothbrush?" I heard Alisha shout from inside, the sister said goodbye for a moment to which I just nodded, "She's too young to have such a disease" Lucius whispered.

"We both have heart failure, but mine isn't that weak compared to her" I said softly and wiped my tears away.

"What.. did you say? You have a weak heart?" He asked in disbelief, to which I nodded, "So you don't just need eyes? You also need a heart donor?" He asked and I nodded again.

"Fucking hell.." He uttered and I felt the tightening of his hug on me, "We will find a way, don't worry I'll help find a donor" He murmured while he nuzzled into my neck.

"If we can't find someone I" I cut him off right away, "Don't say it, we just met and you don't barely know me" I said softly and sighed heavily.

"But the moment I laid my eyes on you, I've fallen in love Khazian" The world seemed to stop when I heard it, I didn't know if it was my heart because of the extremely fast heartbeat but all I know is this caught me off guard.

"I can sacrifice myself if the exchange is your happiness, I'm not asking for an answer right away but... stay by my side and let's get to know each other more" He said but I remained speechless.

"Let's live together"

Chapter 3

Lucius Vallentino's POV

"We're here, welcome home" I said as soon as we both enter inside the house actually this is a penthouse I just didn't tell him.

"It smells like you" His words caught me off guard, making me speechless cause of unexpectedness, "I didn't mean to say it like that" He added while blushing that made me smile a little.

"I don't mind, and you're right it smells like me.. maybe because I've been living in here for five years" I answered and guide him towards the living room, "Alone?" He asked.

"Alone."

"Didn't you have wives i-i'm not trying to stick my nose into someone's business, sorry" He said but I just chuckles because he's so tender.

"Yes, but I'm not bringing them here" I answered to silence him, I slowly sat him down on the long sofa, "I'm the first?" He asked making me smile.

"You're the first" I answered and said goodbye to get him something to drink but I didn't leave first and stayed on the side.

"I'm glad w-what are you saying Khazian? Get a hold of yourself" I smiled widely and suppressed my laughter because of his anger, I went to the kitchen without making a sound and came back with juice.

"Khazian, how is your heart?" I asked and sit beside him while pouring his glass, "It's not that severe don't worry, but I'm worried about Aliyah" He said with a hint of sadness and worry, now I'm curious why is a kid that is not blood related with him is so important.

"What are you doing with that boy?" I asked that he kept quiet, I also notice him fidgeting, "You don't have to answer if-"

"He's my friend's son, t-the.. the person I like before" He said and I suddenly felt a tinge of jealousy.

"You still like him?" None of my own questions, "Of course not anymore, it's been a year and I'm not a martyr" He said and laughed softly, silence prevailed but I didn't want him to be awkward.

"Where is he right now?" I asked and he didn't answer right away, "He's dead.." I was surprised by what he said and fell silent.

"And I was going to adopt Aliyah because I'm blind, so I'll adopt her at home first, I promise I'll take her when my condition improves and I can see again, but I also just found out that she has a heart disease like me" Sad he said while I was listening intently.

"I see.. you didn't adopt her because you don't want her to take care of you" I said that made him nod, "I should take care of her, not him" He replied that we both kept silent again so we talked I.

"Anyway, you're good at painting, aren't you? I have a paint set on the balcony of my room, do you want to paint?" I asked, trying to lighten up the mood and thankfully it works.

"I would love to!" He said energetically with a sweet smile, I smiled sweetly when I saw his bright smile.

"Alright, what do you want to paint?" I asked softly and took a sip of my orange juice while waiting for his answer, "Can I paint you?" I coughed at what he said.

"A-are you okay? I didn't mean to" He said confused and looked for me so I immediately held his hand and smiled, "A-are you okay?" He asked in memory which made me smile even more.

"I'm fine, but how can you paint me?" I asked with a laugh that made him smile, "Just like this.." I was surprised when he suddenly touched my other cheek and felt it a little.

I actually enjoy his touch because of the warmth of his hand and it's giving me a heaven vibes, I close my eyes to feel it even more but it wasn't long before I opened my eyes when his finger touched my lips.

I couldn't move and I only gave him a look, he really didn't miss every corner of my face.

"Your lips are so soft" He said in a low voice and it sent a tinge of desire to my whole body, I swallowed hard when he caressed it more affectionately.

I force myself to calm down but my mind can't help but to create wild scenarios that made me flush, I can also feel my shaft getting hard and I know it's now bulging in my pants.

It's throbbing and this is bad, really bad.

"Uhm.. Khaz, would you mind giving me a minute to cool down myself please? It's getting hot in here and I think changing my clothes would be a great idea, don't you think so?" I said gently and adjusted my necktie.

"O-oh.. y-yeah yeah! Of course go ahead" He stammered and let go of my face, I immediately stood up and swallowed hard. I glance at him before I walk upstairs.

"Lucius, what the heck are you thinking?" I talked to myself and sighed before walking towards my room.

When I entered inside, I immediately rummaged inside the closet to change my clothes, it was just a t-shirt but it surely fits.

After I finished changing, I went to the balcony and took the painting sets, all of these are so expensive. It's a gift from someone but I'm not painting.

I took a deep breath because my 'thing still hasn't calmed down, well I can't blame my buddy it's been a month that I haven't touched myself. I don't have time for that.

I went down the stairs with the painting set, like canvas, brushes, paints etc. When I went down the stairs, I immediately approached him and put my things down in front of him.

"Khazian, here's the painting sets, will you be able to prepare this all by yourself? Or should I help?" I asked and waited for his answer, "Thank you but I can do it, I appreciate your help" He answered that made me smile.

Just as I stood up, my cellphone rang and when I looked at the caller it was my secretary, "Excuse me Khaz, do you mind giving me another minute? I'll just answer this call" I said softly and he just nodded.

I turned to look at him again before I went to the kitchen and answered the call, so that I could still see him even if I was talking to someone.

"Hello, what do you need? I already postponed my meetings" I said with my neutral voice, "Yes sir but that's not the problem" She said that made me raise my eyebrows.

I stared at Khazian while he was arranging the painting sets, maybe he's already good at painting because he was perfect in arranging the paints itself as well. There is no cork.

"Sir it's ma'am Veronica, yesterday he insisted on seeing you even though we told you that you are not here and the guards just let him go but he said that he will come back later" There is a hint of concern in the tone of the His words made me hold my breath.

Veronica's my ex-wife who was reconciled with me before, but I got a divorce right away and found someone else to marry because she was too close to trouble and I have to deal with all the troubles she made which is so irritating.

"I can't deal with her right now, I'm with someone" I answered right away and looked at what Khazian was doing, he was starting to paint.

"What are we going to do, sir?" He asked so I thought of a solution, for sure that girl will not be moved by the police but that is the only way.

"When she interferes again call the police, if she still doesn't budge call my father and let him deal with that" I said flatly and hung up the phone before walking back towards Khazian.

I let out a deep sigh and pinched the tip of my nose because of frustration.

How troublesome.

"Alright done!" I smiled and turned off the stove, I think he had been painting for more than three or four hours, he said that I should give him space so that he is not counted because he can focus better when no one is watching.

"Can I see it?" I asked kindly when I walked towards him, "Yes of course, I hope it's accurate" He said shyly so I picked up the canvas and I was shocked.

"Damn..". I tasted it and stared at his painting, "You can paint this kind of masterpiece in just an hour?" I asked in disbelief, what makes it more impressive is that he's blind yet he can master something like this.

Unbelievable.

"I've been painting for a long time, since I was 12 years old my grandfather taught me and I had a large collection of canvases and any paint set and I can tell that this painting set is luxurious just by the smell of it" He never failed to impress me.

"You're really something" I commented and sat next to him, the painting doesn't actually look like me but there are parts that are the same. This is actually way better than my face.

"Do you like it?" I smiled and was about to hold him to put a strand of his hair behind his ear but I didn't continue, "Like it? I love it, thank you I will hang it on my bedroom wall" I said softly and stood up before grabbing his hand.

"Let's go upstairs, I've prepared your room" I helped him up the stairs, I know he said that he doesn't want someone to support him but I want to make sure he doesn't get carried away.

The days after that were filled with silent emptiness. Although I rarely spoke to him and would occasionally check in to ask if he was alright, I could still feel the tension between us and my mind keeps running wild every time he's around, yet I remained distant. Perhaps I still cared for him more than I wanted to admit.

One day, I just got home from work, my expression was blank, yet there was an underlying tension in my voice.

"What are you doing?" I asked, my gaze fixed on him while he's making dinner. "Just a simple soup" He answered.

"Is that so?" I murmured, observing his every move. "Yes, do you want to try it?" He asked softly that made me smile but still my expression remained the same.

Despite my aloof attitude, I could tell from myself that I was intrigued by his offer and the food he's making. I slowly approached and took a seat opposite him at the table.

I tasted the soup he made and raised my eyebrows because of the taste, "What did you put in here?" I asked while taking a bite one after another.

"Uhm mushrooms etc, it's mom's recipe" He answered and I didn't say anything more, when suddenly something came to my mind so I looked up at him who's now eating quietly.

"How about we go out tomorrow? The two of us." I asked, my tone was casual yet there was an undertone of nervousness in my voice.

He froze for a moment and his eyes widened in shock, he probably didn't expect me to ask him out.

"Y-yeah... I would love to." He said and I can feel that he's trying to maintain his excitement.

A slight smile appeared on my face at his response. I didn't expect him to accept my invitation so quickly, and the look of surprise on his face was both adorable and intriguing in my eyes.

"Good. I'll have my car ready by 9:00 tomorrow morning, don't rush I will wait" I said, my words as direct and straightforward as possible. There was no mistaking the excitement in his eyes, although he tried to hide it with a soft look I can still see it.

But he's not the only one who's excited, I can't wait to take him to a place he's sure to love.
