"When was I not interested in you?" He says in such a confident, sexy voice that the phone slips from my hand.

When was I not interested in you

When was I not interested in you

WHEN WAS I NOT INTERESTED IN YOU?!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I Scream proceeding to stamp my feet on the ground and run up and down the room repeating, oh my goodness.

Kristina grabs unto my hand. 

"What's going on?"

"Oh my goodness oh my goodness oh my goodness," I reply unable to say anything else as I shake Kristina's hands holding onto mine.

"Yo Shang Ye what on earth did you say to the poor girl that she's lost it?" Drinkingwine's voice flows to my ear reminding me that he was on a call with kritna in the same place as Shang Ye while I was reacting this way meaning....Shang Ye heard it? Gasping I quickly grab Kristina's phone and hang up.

"I notice one untouched painting hanging on the wall. It was a painting of a naked woman, her back to the window, her face unseen hair disheveled, scars on her back as if her skin was torn by a hook holding a paint brush," Summerheat reads as Hera

They were having another live session for their book and were reading a snippet for it. Fans including myself were super excited as it meant we were getting a sneak peak! Hence the feed was filled with thousands of folks wanting to get the first sneak peak. Making this unique it was being read like a radio drama being acted bye the authors. fans were all going crazy at hearing their favorite authors act out characters they wrote. 

"Well except this," 

Hera says getting up and walking to it - Kristina Narrates.

It had so much depth to it, the brush strokes were done in a way that seemed to go in circles. I was a lover of arts and if I was to explain this, the woman was filled with internal scars and hidden from the world yet visible.

"Did you paint this?"  Summerheat asks.
It had that mysterious aura the mona lisa had.

"It's like she's drowning in it,"  Summerheat asks.

Lexis comes up and leans on the wall next to her.

"Aphrodite," She says looking at the name written at the bottom.

"The goddess?" She asks but he doesn't answer. I don't remember any mythology about her like this or was that the painters name?

"That painting was here long before this house was bought,"  Lexis played by Dancinglove finally answers.

Her hands touch the painting to feel it. It felt rough. 

"Legend has it that the lady was named Aphrodite, she was so beautiful everywhere she went men fell at her feet. One day she fell in love with the god of war and got married. They had a kid together but the husband not satisfied went out in search of pleasure, it drove her mad with jealousy. Her husband not wanting a mad wife around locked her up in this very room and got a new wife. She never got to see her son again but from the window, she'd look down at him. Till one day he found a way to see her without his dad knowing. To celebrate his birthday. It was the greatest mistake he ever made as she used the knife that was meant to celebrate his birth to kill them both,"Lexis says.

 Getting up, he walks over.

"Each night you can hear her child's spirit cry for help calling, mummy..." He says laughing half heartedly. It felt so real I felt shivers down my spine at the emotion behind the laughter.

He returns to the ground sitting down.

I know my mythology and I'm sure Aphrodite never lived here also I know his story had some loopholes... Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus and cheated on him with Ares. She wasn't married to Ares. Also Adonis was the only son whose story was similar to the one he just said but yet it didn't exactly go that way and Aphrodite never ran mad...except...Lexis said this woman in the picture was mad, 

His dad's voice resounds in her head

"Of all the things he could inherit from that mad woman it was her craziness,"

Could it be...I look at the painting again, she was holding a brush, meaning she painted which the goddess Aphrodite didn't do. If she passed on her gift to her son...Lexis also paints...could it be...she's ...his mother? I remember he once told me he was dead just going through life and since this woman killed her child...Aphrodite never killed her child or herself. Adonis died while hunting though Aphrodite blamed herself...but she never killed herself or Adonis, except...find out more when the book is released! - SUmmerheat declares evoking angry and pleading emoji's

So good

So freaking good!

More more more!

Encore encore encore!

Ah can't wait, can't wait! Release it already!

I feel Shang Ye would have sounded better!

I concur I concur! Where's master?

Summerheat laughs, Shang Ye your fans are demanding you play Lexis next time. Can't say I disagree I am also  in love with Shang Ye's voice- Summerheat 

Me too!

It's heavenly!

Get in line!

The comments all go crazy.

Actually I am a guy but I have to admit Shang Ye has a sexy voice. It's especially better when he is very tired. - Drinkingwine says.

So true! I remember the first time I heard it, I fell in love! -Sellingfish declares.

Just the one time? Why do I remember a certain someone always talking about how much she loves Shang Ye?- Drinkingwine says.

Fine, I confess. I am a hopeless Shang Ye fan!- Sellignfish declares.

Aren't we all? Wait, if I remember correctly, Shang Ye today was busy right? -Summerheat asks.

Mhm - Someone whom I assume to be Shang Ye replies.

Great! Please talk to us! -Summerheat pleads.

This...why does this feel like we're requesting voice porn?-Phoenixfeathers asks.

Are you rejecting it?-Summerheat asks her voice laced with daggers.

No!-Phoenixfeathers declares.

Great so shut up and join me in pleading for him to talk! -Summerheat replies.

ShangYe please talk-Phoenixfeathers quickly joins in.

Your royal highness we unworthy earthlings are pleading

Please please!

Do it for me!

No for me!

Shang Ye they're all pleading surely you won't keep staying silent? - Summerheat asks.

I read a book on the history of the Qing dynasty today- Shang Ye's voice suddenly comes through making my heart skip a beat. We hadn't talked since the first and last time on the phone. I still hadn't gotten over the shock and now here he was with that earth shattering and moving voice of his stealing my heart again. Where we dating, where we just getting to know each other? I had so many questions for my swirling heart and his husky tired voice was definitely not helping matters!

"Hold on, hold on. Shang Ye I know we were gossiping about you but surely you don't need to punish us this way?"-Drinkingwine laments.

"Punishment?" A light chuckle ensures that was slightly cracked.

"Actually it's a pretty romantic story but if you don't want to hear it..."

Immediately the screen is filled with insults directed at Dancinglove and hashtags of #JusticeforShangye #LetShangyespeak

"I want I want, see your fans are already mobbing me to death for daring to stop you," Drinkingwine replies to which another chuckle ensures.

"Are you sure?" Shang Ye asks sounding reluctant though it was obvious he had no intention of not telling his story.
