Chapter 12 - Intoxication

Baldwin's Mansion

I noticed a pair of black leather shoes, then a little up black slacks that hugged his waist firmly, a black vest, a white shirt underneath,

and a matching black tie adorned his whole fit. And then I finally saw his face, it was Mr. Baldwin standing tall beside me, his Hazel eyes watching my black orbs. and then I finally realized what I was doing. "Mr. Baldwin," I said, standing up from the bench and smoothing my black satin pencil skirt towards him. He sure was taller than me it was as if I were standing next to a tower.

"You didn't answer my question" he said asking for my answering he had just asked, and I started thinking in confusion "Um, yeah, I like this patio, especially the vibes inside of it, plus it has all my favorite flowers here, and I love being in nature, it makes me feel refreshed and stress free, so it is one of my favorite places to escape." I blurted out looking around me to all the flowers blooming there and realising that I've said too much of an information, I cursed myself, he must think I'm stupid, "You're not stupid" Mr. Baldwin said out of nowhere, it sure made me look at him in horror and I wondered if he could read me through.

"Were you feeling streesed earlier here?" he asked me again something that I wasn't expecting him to ask, so I didn't know what to say. Would I get in trouble if I said yes? "You can go around anywhere in this house if you feel stressed or bored or even if you're none, you can always look around the house whenever or wherever you want" he continued" "And for that, you don't need permission from anyone here, including me." Completed, what? I didn't know what to feel and how to feel about this? But I was somewhat feeling good about this,staying the whole time inside one room was suffocating for me as I am not used to it and I don't think anyone put there is, so feeling bored and stressed was a minus point for me, but aftering hearing his words I somewhat felt relieved and happy.

Earlier I had a thought about this all, but roaming around my patient's house without their consent was just no for me, O would never in my entire life will do it whatever happens, but these words were kind of what I wanted to hear, "Thank-" I couldn't complete the sentence "I have said this before too, these words ain't made for you" he added "Thank you Ms. Miller, for coming here all the way to check up on my father, I really appreciate it" he spoke and I could sense the sincerity in his words, "You can call me Savannah" Ms. Miller sounded too old for me from his mouth, "Savannah" and when he said my name with his deep husky voice, and with the look he had on his face, I felt some kind of feelings inside, it sounded way too good yet too dangerous for my own good, yet it was perfect in a way that I can't explain right now.

"Can I ask you one thing?" changing the subject was my best way out of that "Um.. I'm sorry if I sound rude but can you tell me your name again, I think I forgot-" and in a swift way he came a little closer to me as I was talking, it made my mouth closed immediately and steps? My step was as grounded to the same spot as before, I did not back down...? coming down on my level he looked directly into my eyes and I can finally have a closer look at his everything.

His facial feature was as sharp as the blade, his eyes were as much more deeper than I have known, it had a sense of fire within it that didn't wanted to noticed yet was slightly visible, his slick back black hair was even darker, his face was shining by the sun coming through the patio window, and his perfume.... I can smell them too, it was intoxicating to me, to my whole self that it was getting hard for me too keep my calm, I was getting nervous, so I finally stepped back, he watched without saying anything "Blaze" ah now I finally remember his name, how can I forget, "I hope you wont forget it too soon" he extended his right hand in my direction and I backed up face face, he noticed my movement "Stay still, Savannah" and he took something out of top of my head and....it was a leaf, a leaf on my head? How can i be so stupid again and I think it was enough for the day.

"I'm sor-" he cut me off "Watch out, if you say that word again" he warned me, by the tone in his voice I could tell that "But-" again "You did good, that's how you should reflect youself if someone tries to get any closer to you or tries anything wrong, I see nothing wrong with this" A man who seems cold is acutally an angel? I nodded my head in agreement.

"Boss" one of the man who was standing at the entrance of the patio came inside an stood at a quite distance from him "yes?" without turning his face, looking at me he asked his man "It's time" I did not understand what they were talking about I had no clue either and nor did I care, "Remember what I said before, you're free to explore anywhere you want, I'll see you around" and he existed the patio. It was nice talking to him, I won't lie and I took my place back on the bench, oh lord I love it here.

Author's POV

The whole place was dark as if no light's were available or maybe allowed there. Blaze walked insde with his few men's behind followed him, walking through the tiny corridors which had some dim lights lighting. Halting their steps, they all stood in an office looking room which had the usual wooden table with chair and some files here and there, 5 wooden shelfs filled with seems to be booke and small lamps lighting the whole place. One of his men came forward and started doing something around the Book's shelf on their left, after pressing some of the keys there, it opened wide open for them, a secret passage to something.

Secret passage had a another darker room inside, and it was empty all over, it sure was spacious but had nothing in it, only a chair at the very end at the high place, it seemed like it was placed for king to take his place. And that what happened Blaze walked towards that chair and sat overlapping his legs and took a hold of his scotch which was given by on of his men who stood behind him.

The men who followed him through all the way here just stood in the middle of thos spacious room, all together wearing all black, jolting their hands. 2 men from the right dark side came in front of Blaze who was their Boss, the man who was Blaze's secretary finally entered the room and hurriedly walked up to the 2 men and talked something with them, the 2 men existed to the same area they came and Arthur who was Blaze's secretary walked and stood beside his Boss.

The two men who had existed the room, once again came back into the room but they weren't alone the bought something with them, it was a man dressed in grey suit and...drenched in blood all over, they dragged him to all the way and threw him down on the floor, right in the middle of the room, the unconscious man lay life less on the floor, those two men got a hold of him again one by the shoulder and one by grabbing the whole bunch of his har, the face was clear now, Blaze can finally see Mr. Milano's face to his satisfaction, Blaze took the sip of his scotch eyes still on Milano but something within his still wasn't satisfied.

Placing the glass of scotch on the side table, and taking the whole bottle of scotch he got up and walked towards Mr. Milano, opening the bottle he threw the cap on the floor and bottle on top of Mr. Milano, and Mr. Milano finally opened his closed eyes and saw Blaze in front of him, Blaze poured out all the scotch over his bruised face, Mr. Milano screamed, wriggled his whole self but the grip of men was too strong, tears roll down his face as he struggled, but Blaze wasn't done yet, crushing the bottle on Mr. Milano's head, he took the sharper piece and held it closer to his eyes and he finally smiled "Laugh, Mr. Milano" he was smiling but the horror in his voice scared Mr. Milano "I-I-I sorry" stuttering and struggling to say anything he finally apologized but it was too late because Blaze didn't seemed to go easy right now, "I said laugh!" Voice echoed in the whole room, everyone watched as Blaze was having fun with his newest prey, trembling Mr. Milano tried his best to laugh but it was a mixture of both "Properly" Blaze warned him again and finally Mr. Milano's laugh echoed in the empty room and in a swift moment of time, that sharp object slit both of his eyes in two, blood pour out of them like water. That's what you get for offending Blaze Baldwin.
