Crystal was at a loss for words, and she didn’t like the feelings of complete helplessness that were washing over her in waves. She recognized that her heart was racing, though, and that was one thing that she could control. She began to slow her breathing, and she counted backward in her head- ten, nine, eight, seven, and so on - hoping that if she could think straight, she could find a way out of her current predicament.
Crystal didn’t know what to say to Nathan. It seemed like whatever she said, he twisted her words and used them against her. It doesn’t help that he’s much smarter than I am - a voice in her head whines so much smarter. After all, he is a teacher!
After a minute, Crystal said, “That vibrator was a gift from Serenity. Didn’t you notice that it was still in its packaging? I don’t use those.. Never have. They disgust me!”
“If you’ve never used one, how do you know that you won’t like it?” After saying that, Nathan kissed Crystal on the lips, but she turned her head away immediately.
“How dare you,” Crystal shouted. “You didn’t even ask!” She stared at him angrily. “And besides, I’m under 18! Aren’t you afraid of going to jail?!?!?”
Nathan seemed to think about that for a moment, and then he let her go. “I can wait a little longer to soil your virtue properly. After all, your birthday isn’t that far away.”
Nathan turned in the direction of his room, and as he walked away, he said, “Have fun with your toy,” and then he began to mimic the sound that it likely made: “Bzzzzzzz bzzzzzz bzzzzzzzzzzz.” And then he began to laugh hysterically.
Before he disappeared into his room, Crystal shouted after him: “What about your promise to move out and leave me alone?”
Nathan stopped, turned his head, and with an unfathomable expression, asked, “Are you so eager to let me go?”
“I am,” Crystal said firmly. “If you need to, you can stay here for two more days, but only if you need to, and for no longer than that!” Nathan: “What if I can’t find a place to live in, in that amount of time? Are you prepared to throw me out onto the streets?!?!”
Crystal: “Don’t worry, I can help you find an apartment online. What are your prerequisites for where you want to live?”
Nathan: “What prerequisites? I hadn’t considered such things... I am used to being taken care of.”
Crystal: “How about I figure it out for you?” Nathan didn’t say anything and turned away in silence.
Now that that was settled, Crystal walked back to her room. She changed into her pink cartoon pajamas and sat cross-legged on her bed with her iPad. She turned it on and began to look for places where Nathan could live. Almost immediately, she found a half-dozen places that seemed suitable, and she started to sing happily. Then, with her iPad clutched to her chest, she hurried to Nathan’s room and knocked on the door.
Nathan told her to enter, and she found him sitting on the sofa, reading his email. Crystal sat down beside him, and she showed him the. results of her search. “Look at this one,” she said. “It has three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom. It is well decorated. Although it is a little far from the school, you won’t have any trouble.
“There is also this two-bedroom apartment. It is a bit small, but it’s right next to the school, and it would be more convenient for you because you would just have to cross the street in the morning, and you would be at work!”
Crystal showed Nathan each of the places she found, accenting the advantages and downplaying the disadvantages. Anything to get him out of the house - she thought this mother-fucking pedo has got to go! As Nathan watched her, though, he began to realize exactly how much he didn’t want to move out and be away from her. And she couldn’t make him leave if he refused.
Crystal noticed Nathan’s cold expression, and she asked him what he was thinking. Nathan looked Crystal in the eye but said nothing. He could smell the scent of her shampoo mixed with her uniquely sweet, girlish body’s fragrance, and he realized that he was becoming aroused again.
The inexplicably hot feeling in his groin began to swell. Only the scent of Crystal’s body, he knew, could provoke all the desire buried in his body in this way. Crystal brought with her a life experience that he had never had before but had wanted for a long time.
Nathan calmly pushed away from the iPad in her hand, and then he showed her his notebook’s desktop picture. It was a French-designed villa. The villa stood in the forest that was located on the edge of the city, and a sea of colorful flowers surrounded it. As the wind blew, the flowers swayed with the wind.
The whole villa was made of large pieces of glass, which had neat modern lines, but came with a fresh romantic feeling. It looked extraordinarily atmospheric and luxurious.
Crystal was utterly shocked by that. The house had actually been built according to her favorite style! She hadn’t expected to find such a beautiful place in Huston.
“Do you like it?” Nathan asked.
Crystal nodded her head, and then she said, “It doesn’t matter what I think, though. What do you think?”
Nathan smiled and said, “I choose this one.”
“Can you afford it?” Crystal asked hesitantly.
She needed to know the answer, but she didn’t want to offend Nathan by asking about his finances.
A voice in her head spoke up, saying - He has enough. He has all of the money that your Mother left him! If he takes this house, he will squander it all!!! Crystal’s face froze, but she had no way of venting her anger. After all, this man had just promised her to move out.
“What’s wrong?” Nathan asked her.
“Nothing,” Crystal sighed. “The place looks nice. If you like it, you should take it.”
The phone rang suddenly, then, and Nathan stood up. “I’ll answer the phone first,” he said, “and then I’ll make up my mind.”
As Nathan stepped out of the room, Crystal took the opportunity to peek into his more personal belongings. She looked around. This room that Nathan lived in had initially been a guest room in Crystal's home, and the patterns of black and white tones had not changed. Nathan had few personal belongings, she noticed. There was a book and a pen on the coffee table, though, which was something.Crystal leaned over, picked it up, and was disappointed to discover that it wasn't a diary or journal. The title on the book's jacket read: Howard's Amazing Adventure- and according to the back cover, the book told the story of an alien rabbit that had accidentally broken into the earth. Crystal picked up the book, turned a few pages randomly, and finally put it down indifferently.Nathan h
The next day, when Crystal came down for breakfast, Nathan was already sitting at the head of the table in the dining room. And to the right of him, there was a man in a black suit. The stranger was standing over Nathan, slightly bowed, and he was handing a document to him. From the way that the stranger carried himself in Nathan’s presence, it was apparent to Crystal that he was subordinate to him.When Nathan heard Crystal’s footsteps, he looked up from the papers and ordered her to join him at the table. Once she was seated, he introduced the man in black to her. “This is Mike,” he said. “Mike is my lawyer. Say hello to Mike.”Suddenly Crystal felt like a child, which, she supposed, she was, at least as far as these men were concerned. Her cheeks turned pink, and she looked at her shoes. “Hello, Mike,” she said
“All you want is to fuck me?” Crystal asked skeptically. “And then you will forgive my debt?”“No, not just fuck,” Nathan laughed. “I want you to give yourself to me, fully, as my wife!”Crystal gasped as Mike produced a marriage certificate. Nathan had laid a much bigger trap for her than she could have ever imagined. Crystal contemplated the proposal for a moment before addressing Mike, his lawyer. “I only have two questions,” she said. “The first question is this: if I sign it, does it mean that I don’t need to pay my debt?”Mike: “Yes. And your second question...?”Crystal: “Okay, I haven’t reached the legal age for marriage yet, so even if I sign it, it won&rs
Before today, Nathan had been completely confident that every woman in the world would want to marry him if they were given the opportunity. He had good looks, popularity, and money. What more could a woman want? - he wondered. The sight of Crystal crying on the lawn had thrown him for a loop, and nothing about the things she’d said had made any sense to him - But maybe Andy knows a little bit more about this than I do - he thought - After all, he’s been married for a year!Nathan eyed Andy impatiently as he waited for an answer. Finally, Andy said, “There... There are many reasons why a woman wouldn’t want to marry some
The Henry household lived in an independent villa with a big courtyard, and when Crystal arrived, the European-style patterned iron door was tightly closed to her. After taking a deep breath, Crystal put her hand on the doorbell, but before she actually pressed it, she found herself hesitating. Το press it or not to press it, that was the question. She would not be here except for the fact that her father had said that her mother had left something important for her.None of the people living inside the villa had a good relationship with her. Her father hadn’t even picked her up after her mother died. Her Stepmother, Jessica, had been the reason why her father had abandoned her and her Mother. Her half-sister Joyce had stolen her boyfriend, and Evan was Jessica’s son from her first marriage, so they weren’t even related by blood. Out of all of them, she hated Evan the least. T
Crystal had always sat behind Carlos in class, so this was a familiar view of her. In the self-study classes, they had worn the same style of headphones, and Crystal had often stared at the back of his head for the whole class, with no sense at all of the passing time.Crystal looked away in disgust, and when Joyce saw that she no longer had an audience, she quit performing. After a few minutes, she looked at Crystal and said, “I heard that you almost got kicked out of school. yesterday” she laughed. “If it weren’t for Daddy’s money, you would be long gone. Isn’t that correct?”Unlike Joyce, Carlos was a little embarrassed by the situation, and now that the two girls were talking, he nudged Joyce back onto the couch, and his cheeks turned pink as he covered his pants with a pillow. Joyce patted the cushion playfully and
Crystal was taken by surprise, and she was bewildered. She looked at Lucy, the housekeeper, and said, “Who would come to see me, HERE?!?!?”Lucy: “I’m not sure. He didn’t say. He has a lot of belongings with him, though. He brought a coffee table, a sofa, and all kinds of famous brand bags and cosmetics like Chanel, Dior, and Louis Vuitton….”Upon hearing that there was a guest - a stranger! -in his house, and that it sounded like he thought he was moving in, Todd stood up quickly and rushed into the next room, with Crystal, Carlos, and Joyce following right behind him. And as Todd turned the corner, he gasped. “Principal Ford,” he whispered, “what are you doing here, and what do you want from my daughter?”
After Mr. Ford left, Crystal’s Father confronted her about the true identity of Nathan Davis. He believed that because she had signed away her rights to his fortune, that there must be something about him that she wasn’t saying- and Venessa’s constant grumbling only made matters worse. She had assumed that the expensive handbags that Mr. Ford had brought were for her, and it had been hard for her to watch when he’d taken them away with him. After all, there was one bag in particular that she had wanted for a very long time.As she and her Mother watched Crystal leave from an upstairs window, Joyce complained to her mother, saying, “Mommy, did you see how arrogant that bitch was? Who would have thought that the presents would be for her! And that Principal Ford must be a fool, otherwise why would he have begged Crystal for help! After all, what could she do for him?!?!?”
