Falling in love with a playboy has never been in Crystal's plans. That is one thing she will not do no matter what. But it becomes hard to stand by her decision when he enters the picture. can she ignore the obvious attraction she feels for him?
view moreCrystal felt a little fluttering in her stomach and tried to she keep her face as neutral as possible "good afternoon sir, how can I help you?"
"Please drop the formality. Its just Michael to you and I brought you lunch" he was still smilingWhat's with this man? dosen't he ever give up or was he too blind to see the handwriting on the wall. "oh thanks but am not hungry. Am too busy right now" she kept her eyes on the screen in front of her."I appreciate your zeal. But I am the boss and I'm saying we take off sometime to eat. Just 30 minutes" he tried to convince her"I'm really sorry but as you can see I have a lot of work to do. I'm actually behind schedule" Crystal focused intently on her laptop, she didn't want to feel guilty. Looking at him will make feel like she was doing something wrong by saying no"Is it so bad that I want to spend time with you?" When he didn't get any response from her, he dropped the lunch bag on her table and turned to leave.Crystal sat up straight and clamped her legs together to keep from running after him. Where did the desperate need to always have him in her line of sight come from?*******"Michael am so sorry. I know I should have been beside you in such a trying moment but I wasn't. I acted foolishly without thinking. I was blinded by anger. I know that is not enough reason but please forgive me" she spoke through her tears"Baby there's nothing to forgive you for. You did what anyone in your shoes would do. If I didn't live such a rotten life in the past we wouldn't have been in this situation now""Michael the past is past. It shouldn't have determined my actions towards you" she protested"How about we forget what has happened and forgive each other?" Michael suggested smiling"Sounds nice to me" she kissed him briefly "I love you.... don't ever forget that" she told him after she broke the kiss"I love you too Crystal... So so much" he hesitated and the put his hands into his pocket to retrieve a small red box"Babe I k
*******"Aren't we there yet?" Michael asked again. He was restless. Being away from Crystal had turned him into a mess. He even snapped at his workers daily for no single reason at all. He was sure Crystal wasn't as half affected as he was.The journey he had embarked on couldn't be put off anymore, lest he did something he would regret. He vowed to do anything humanly and morally possible to get the love of his life back."This is the place sir" his driver parked in front of a well fenced bungalow."That will be all for now. I will call you when I am done" Michael told him as he alighted the carThe house was really beautiful. The fence hid a lot of its beauty. As he rang the doorbell, he prayed for Gods Favour.Mrs Jason was busy baking Crystal's favourite cake when the doorbell rang. She was about to wash her hands and answer the door when she heard Crystals voice
*******Micheal rushed back to the office to see Crystal. When he got there her office was locked and her boss told him she had taken leave for the next three weeks. He was scared. What if she had travelled? So many things had been left unsaid between them. Now that he had the real result he needed to talk to her.As soon as he stepped out of the office building he raced to his car. He had to check her house. He was even surprised that the road traffic officials had not apprehended him by now.When he arrived, Much to his despair, her house was also locked and the kind security man told him that she travelled just that morning.The pain in Micheal's heart increased. Why did she travel? Couldn't she have waited a little longer? Why didn't I found out about Lillian's scheme earlier? All this questions weighed heavily on his mind as he sat in his car tears threatening to fall down his face. He couldn't wait for her to
*******After Micheal left Crystal's office, he rushed to the hospital were he had earlier dropped Lillian off for the DNA test. He was surprised to see that they were already done with the test."Where is the test result?" he demandedInstead of handing over the result Lillian walked up to him and pressed her body to his while trailing her hand over his chest "easy handsome... don't get all worked up for nothing" she said in what she thought was a seductive tone.Micheal shoved her hard and she almost fellto the floor "the result" he demanded again, this time with a dangerous look on his face.Lillian frowned frustrated. What was even wrong with this man? Did he think his girlfriend was better than her?. She handed him the result and walked towards her chair with confidence.As Micheal skimmed through the papers, he felt his world crumble. The little chance he thoug
*******The intruder walked inside proudly and settled down on a chair before answering him "isn't it obvious? I'm here to introduce you to your son" she pointed at the two years old boy that held her hand"What?" they both shouted but the lady was not done with them"Most importantly I'm here to claim what is mine" she looked pointedly at MichealCrystal snorted loudly. This lady was really crazy to think that Micheal belong to her. Crystal knew she could handle a crazy woman but a child was a whole new scenario that she wasn't sure she could handle. How could he do this to her?"You have a son?" she glared at himMicheal felt his heart squeeze at the pain in her voice. He didn't want to be the reason for her pain "baby please... I don't know what she's talking about" he pleaded"But you know her?" she asked hoping he would say no
*******Soon they fell into a particular rhythm. They would have lunch together at the office, go on dates on friday nights and go to church together on Sundays. Six months had already passed been since their first date and Crystal never regretted going on that date with him.She was crazily in love with him and she believed he loved her too. He was the best boyfriend anyone could ask for and her life couldn't be more perfect.What exactly did I do to deserve him... She wondered as her eyes landed on the recent bouquet of roses he got her. He knew she loved flowers so he sent them regularly.Work had even started to get more interesting due to a certain someone. Glancing at the clock, she realized it was already noon. She had better be on her way."Hi babe" she entered his officeMichael smiled. He immediately dropped the file he was holding and came around his desk to pec
