CHAPTER 36

CRYSTAL

‘What the hell is he doing here?’

All I just wanted was to drink tonight and now the most annoying person I have ever known was sitting on that stool.

If I turned right now,he wouldn't know it's me. Wait! Why am I avoiding him? I didn't do anything wrong. Well I just feel infuriated whenever I set my eyes on him. I guess I wouldn't have a drink tonight then.

I was just about to leave when I heard his voice. “Crystal?”

Shit.

I froze for a second, feigning that I didn't see who called. “Here,” he said, waving.

My lips curled into a fake smile, tilting my head slightly, pretending like I hadn't just seen him sitting there, looking all smug and relaxed

“Drake,” my voice came out more forced than I intended,“What are you doing here?”

His eyes sized me up as he rested his chin on his hand, “You are so easy to notice even in a place that's dim lighted,"

This guy must have been born to flirt because seriously,what the hell?

I ignored his comment, “I'd just asked you are

    CRYSTALThe weight of my body seemed to be pressed down, I noticed I couldn't move my hands and could only force my eyes to be opened. The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a pile of unruly hair, Ella was snoring close to my bedside mingled with the silent beep of machines around me.“Ella,” I said, barely above whispering.Ella didn't wake up at once but then was startled when my hand hit her slightly. “Crystal, thank goodness you are awake. Wait, let me get the doctor,” she said in relief as she hurried to get the doctor.I exhaled as she left, a throbbing headache resurfaced as the memory from the previous evening rushed back to my mind. Ella came back with the doctor, who checked me and instructed me to take enough rest and that I collapsed because of the stress I have been through.Ella came to sit by my side as soon as the door exited the room. “Where's Jaden?” I asked for the first time since I woke up, I was expecting to see him but he wasn't here.“He went to solve

    CRYSTAL I tried wriggling myself from his grip but he was stronger. “Just stay still for a few minutes, Crys,” he rasped, his breath fanning the nap of my neck.“What are you doing, Drake?” I said, my breath hitched as he leaned in more against my back, his arms tightening around my waist.He swirled me around to face him, his eyes were darkened and I couldn't almost recognize him. I just stared at him not knowing what to say but then my lips parted slightly, “Are you not feeling well in your body? How about you go to the hospital?” I said, my voice full of concern.“It's not the kind of sickness that can be treated in the hospital, Crys.” He said, taking my hands into his then placing it on his chest, his heart beating against my hand. “I'm so sick here that I can't handle it anymore.”“Go check yourself to a doctor if you are feeling pains in your chest,” I said, confusion laced in my voice. I was already long, I'm sure Jaden would come searching for me.His hands left my hand to c

    CRYSTAL “Ella,” my eyes widened in surprise. I thought Jaden was joking when he told me that Ella was on her way.She walked towards me, leaving her bag behind, her hands across her chest in akimbo. “One thing was not informing about your trip and another thing was getting pregnant and I'm also not aware,” she said, her tone carrying a disappointing weight and hurt.“Ella, it isn't like that. I'm sorry,” I said, with remorse.“I will leave you too to settle,” Jaden said, turning to leave.Ella shot him a sharp glare, “No one told you to leave. You caused this so you will sort it,” she said almost curtly, shocking Jaden.I almost choked on my laughter, Ella was at it again. She just doesn't fear anyone. She turned to face me again, “You have a lot of explanation to do. We will talk about it after I eat,” she said, her tone firm but controlled, leaving no room for argument.I rubbed my temples, “Wait…” I said but she interrupted.“How about Mr Zenor here treating me for lunch?” She s

    CRYSTAL “How was that possible?” I asked, surprise laced my voice.Jaden slid his hands into his pocket, giving me that type of look that says it's a secret. “I believe you girls will talk about it when she arrives,” he murmured l, a knowing glint in his eyes.I narrowed my eyes at him, “Are you two keeping something from me?” I asked, moving closer to him.His lips drew into a teasing smile, “Why don't you ask her instead,” he said, his voice taking a teasing edge then his lips curled into a warm smile.I scoffed, walking away from him, feigning annoyance but deep down I was enjoying stressing him. He took long strides, catching me by my wrist before I walked far, swirling me back into his arms.“Where do you think you are going to go?” He said, brows furrowed as he stared down at me with a soft, calm expression.“Where you are not,” I blurted, still feigning annoyance. “Why?”“Did Ella call you? What did she say?” I said, curiously.“Don't tell me you are still on this, Crys,” he

    CRYSTAL The plan was to make him feel relaxed and have lots of fun. He’s a workaholic, I don't know if he has ever done anything like this.“Okay, let's start the game,” I announced, while my colleagues cheered.“One of the rules of the game: If you can't tell the truth, you have to drink and note the most interesting part is that you can drink on behalf of someone else.“So are we good to go,” I said, glancing at everyone on the table and of course, avoiding eye contact with Drake. “Yeah..” the others chorused except Jaden who looked like he would rather be anywhere but here.He cleared his voice, feigning a small smile, “I have a call. It's urgent,” he said, pressing his phone to his ear.I knew that tactics, I narrowed my eyes on him then stylishly collected the phone from his hand. “I doubt it, your phone screen isn't even on.”“Bursted,” Richie said, his voice barely above whisper but Jaden heard him, knocking Richie off balance with his cold glare.“Why's everywhere suddenly h

    CRYSTAL I walked to the door to check who was at the door. Clara's face came into view as she stood alone in front of the entrance. “Clara, it's you,” I said, a little bit nervous, hoping she wouldn't suggest she enter my room.I would be so embarrassed if she saw Jaden in my room. “It's such a nice place, thanks to Jaden for getting this type of place for us to stay,” she said, excitedly.“Yeah,” I replied, nodding my head.“Do you mind if I come in with you?” She popped the question I had been praying away silently.“Huh…No…yes,” I stuttered.Clara gazed at me comically, her lips curled into a smile, then a laughter. “You should have seen your face. Are you keeping anything in your room that you don't want anyone to see?”“Ahem… no.”“Okay, let me in then,” she insisted, passing through the open space between me and the door.I didn't argue with her further and let her go ahead and see what she wanted to see. A gasp escaped her lips when she saw Jaden seated on the coach in the c
