What are you doing here?” Jaden asked, closing the distance between us.

I stood to my feet, brushing dust away from my dress. “We should be asking you that,” I spat, slightly angry.

“I brought her here,” Drake explained.

“I was so worried after you left the hospital, I thought you would harm yourself or something,” I snapped with worry and anger.

“You shouldn't have come here. Is asking for some time alone too much?” He questioned, his voice firm but tinged with sadness.

My heart dropped. “Really? You made me worry so much and this is what I get?” I shot back, my words dripping with hurt and anger.

Jaden brushed his hair with his fingers in frustration, he was looking so rough in just a few hours. He was in his worst state and I couldn't get more displeased because he didn't acknowledge my efforts.

I watched him crouched by the tomb, gathering stones that were used to cover the surface of the tomb then arranging them.

“You will forever be in memory, Jayla,” he said softly, his voice

    CRYSTAL My back landed on the bed gently with my hands still around his neck as he leaves traces of kisses on my lips, down to my jaw, neck, collarbone then to my chest. My stomach flipped as his wet kiss stopped at the center of my chest. I was already feeling a sweet sensation between my legs even though he hadn't touched me.He unbuttoned my gown slowly, kissing me in a slow burn matter, my breath etched as he pulled the fabric beneath me and flung it across the room. His warm hands gripped my waist, pushing my back upward and wrapped my legs around his waist.He began to unbutton his own shirt but I couldn't wait any longer because it's been weeks we had time for ourselves like this. I was so happy that we made up and can't wait for him to touch and make me crazy. I grabbed him by myself, kissing and tasting him like I was eating a popped cherry.“Ahhh,” A loud moan tore through my throat as he fondled my breast, igniting the hot sensation swelling in my stomach.Just as I know,

    CRYSTAL I must be seeing things, right? That can't be Jaden. My mind stuttered in disbelief as I blinked twice, hoping my eyes were playing tricks on me. Was mourning his father's death by acting all cold just an excuse to get away from me? The thought clawed at me, butter and sharp.“Excuse me,” a lady said as she walked past me, brushing my shoulders.The gift I was holding almost fell but I held it more tightly. My head suddenly throbbed, my heart pounded faster and I suddenly felt my lungs give way. I pushed past the people dancing, going in the direction where they were when a pair of hands slid around my waist.“Get your hands off me,” I yelled, but my voice was covered by the music.“Yo, chill. You don't expect me to leave a pretty girl like you,” the stranger said, his grip tight around me.His breath oozed of alcohol and he was so dead drunk, so I brushed his hands away with all my strength then walked away, without looking back.All I wanted to see was Jaden and get out of

    CRYSTAL It's been weeks since the burial. The office felt more cold as Jaden drove himself into work and everyone had been walking on egg shells around him, including Maya, his business partner. No one dared slack at work because nobody wants to get on his bad even now that he's more cold and strives for perfection at work.I had expected Jaden to be by my side but the side where he slept was cold, indicating that he had probably left for work so early like does for the past weeks. His lack of rest made me worry so much coupled with coming back home late the previous day. Today being his birthday made me nervous and unhappy at once, because he must have been so overwhelmed by work that he didn't even remember what today was.At work, I had contemplated what to do for him but nothing spectacular came to mind because I hadn't planned a birthday celebration before so I decided to call his friends, Drake and Jack but then I hesitated, my hands hovering over the screen.“Should I call t

    CRYSTAL He closed the distance, “Are you alright?” He asked, his face full of concern, his hands firm around me, steading me from fall.I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. The words were too heavy to say, I didn't know how I would tell him.Jaden frowned, wondering why I was speechless, “What's wrong, babe?” I hesitated, my voice breaking. “Y…your father, it's him,” I said, my eyes almost teary. “He is dead.”Jaden froze for a second, his eyes blinked, the light in them died before I could finish. “Are you sure about this, Crystal? He spoke to me yesterday,” he said, voice croaking.“The call was from his secretary, Jayden,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. His eyes dropped, melting the hope that was once there away.For a moment, silence filled the room. Jaden met my gaze as though trying to process words that didn't make sense. As if on a run, he grabbed his keys and exited the room. I followed him immediately, calling after him but he didn't answer or turn b

    CRYSTAL The ring of Jaden's phone woke me from sleep, I raised my head to see him fast asleep beside me. A small smile curled on my lips as the flashback of him carrying me back to the room resurfaced.I tilted my head to look at his calm, chiseled jaw, nose, closed eyelids and lips. My hands ached to touch them but I couldn't because I didn't want him to see me drooling over him.“Are you done drooling over me?” Jaden's deep voice caught me unawares. I laid down back on the bed, feigning sleepiness. I could feel his gaze on my face although my eyes were tightly closed.“Would you keep feigning sleep?” He asked, placing a soft kiss on my forehead.“Hmmm,”I murmured, opening my eyes slightly.When he saw that I wasn't willing to get up from the bed, he started kissing me all over my face, making me end up laughing. Our giggles filled the room as we ended up teasing each other. I couldn't wish for something less than what we are now, carefree and love without drama…but is it possible

    CRYSTAL Jaden walked to me, caging me with his arms as I stood behind the cabinet while I was trying to gather some ingredients to make us a light dinner or maybe breakfast because it was already early hours of the morning, just that it's still very dark.His hot breath fanned my neck, tingling me and spiking a hot sensation down my spine. “What can I make out of this for you, Jaden?” I said, managing to form the words to say before I said it.His head rested on the nap of my neck, “Anything you make out of it would do,” he replied, his lips pressed on my shoulder.“Okay,” I muttered, wiggling myself from his grip. Jaden always had a way of getting things if he wanted it. His charm always does the work. He rested his back on the cabinet, watching me as I moved around the kitchen, preparing a light meal of boiled egg, cheese and sliced bread for us.“Let me help you with that,” he said, collecting the plate from my hands while I went to take juice from the refrigerator.“Thank you,”
