Chapter 66
Her friend Crystal was nowhere to be found and she was usually the one to tell her what to do with it comes to romances. How funny it was for someone who had never been involved in an affair, to reproach a person who has been having a series of love affairs.
When she thought about that, she let out a tiny laughter slip through her lips, and turning to get a bottle of water from the fridge, she returned to her room not wanting to make any noise so as not to wake her mother up.
Crystal was eating heavily like someone who had slept in prison for some days. Blaze looked at her with a smile and enjoyed the energy that she had, he could not still believe that she was his girlfriend now, how lucky of him he thought.
“Babe”, he called out and Crystal without putting her head up, responded to him Blaze asked,
“Do you still want some more food, I believe that you are really hungry?”. Feeling shame over what he had just said, Crystal halted for a moment the noodles that she was eating and gave him a stare, Blaze told her not to be embarrassed as he just loved the way that she was eating and that was all.
” I think that this is fine Blaze”, she muttered taking the glass of juice that was on the table and drinking from it. Her stomach was almost filled with so much food and she had not been eating for some days now. The sex helped her as it opened up her stomach for food to get in.
Blaze clearing his throat and telling her that they needed to discuss something very important when they were done eating, freaked Crystal out as she was thinking that he wanted to tell her something negative.
“What if he wanted to dump me before we had even started? what if he has finally taken his pound of flesh? or maybe he wants to send me out?”, she asked with her appetite slowly reducing and her countenance changing.
Noticing her sudden quietness, he wondered what she could be thinking in her head that was making her so sympathetic.
” Are you okay?”, he raised a question but Crystal not being able to respond to him anymore, kept her head lowered with her gaze on the plate of food that she was eating. He could not make out what had happened all of her sudden but seeing a tear fall off her eye, he understood that something was wrong.
“Hey, girl what is the matter?, is it his use of something that I said?”, he asked rising from where he was sitting to hers. Crystal was not talking anymore, and looked away but Blaze not knowing what he had done tried holding her but she got up angry at him saying that he should not dare touch him.
” You said that you have something to tell me right just go ahead and break up with me”, she said, leaving Blaze in a state of shock. Not knowing what she was talking about, he rose to his feet and walked slowly towards her to get what she was saying but Crystal went into the bathroom to rinse her hands and mouth, and she came back saying that she wanted to leave the resort.
“What are you even saying babes what is the matter?”, Blaze asked all confused and lost but Crystal not wanting to listen to him, started shedding tears. Blaze stared at her for a moment, asked her what the matter was and Crystal asked him whether he wanted to know, he nodded,
” You just said that you wanted us to discuss something right?”, she asked and Blaze confirmed what she had just asked, he further asked what the matter was and why she was reacting in that manner, and Crystal hitting his chest yelled out saying that she knows that he wants to end everything with her.
“I did not give you the pleasure you were expecting to have right? I was not woman enough and that is what you want to tell me that we can’t be right? I saw the expression on your face and I am sorry that I did not meet your standard in bed”, she pressed her hands on his chest, hurting her wrist in the process.
Crying herself out Blaze noticed that she had hurt herself but not being able to understand why she was having such a thought, he made an effort to console her but Crystal being stubborn, only craved to fight back, and Blaze having taken enough of her insanity, he yelled out at her to stop while grabbing her by the shoulder.
” You have to calm down and listen to me, these imaginations of yours will not help either you or me in this relationship. And who told you that I was not satisfied with you, huh?”, he asked raising his voice.
His manly nature and authority had overpowered Crystal’s insensitive mood and made her realize that all that she was thinking about was false. Taking her into his arms, he could feel his heart beating in her chest and whispering in her ears, he told her that she was the only woman in his life and nothing was going to change that.
“I thought you wanted to break up with me, I thought I did not do things like you wanted so you wanted to leave me”, she related.
” No way, I will not be that stupid to have a treasure like you and want to lose her, what will that make of me?”, his question put smoke on her face as she felt secure.
Taking her to sit down on the bed, he pushed the little table where they were having their meals to one side while taking a look at her keenly, Crystal was a sweet girl who just needed the attention that could be given to her and it was normal for her to be skeptical about everyone around her.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“Here is something I will do so that you will never get to doubt my love for you okay?”, he spoke out taking off the necklace that was on his neck. Telling her that the necklace was very special to him as it was the only piece in the whole wide world and on its pendant was the face of his mom.
” Here take it, I am giving you this so that you will always have a look at it whenever you think about me or about the fact that I do not love you”.
Tears cropped upon Crystal’s eyes as he put the chain around her neck, sealing it with a sweet kiss on her forehead. She felt so special after that and equally apologized to him for her behavior. She hugged Blaze telling him how much she loved him and thanking him as well for not giving you on her.
“I will never give up on you Babe because I know that you are a good person who just needs love”, he muttered.
Taking her hands and kissing them, he lifted her head with his right hand and stared at her with all the love that he was feeling inside, he told her not to worry as everything was going to be fine.
” I hope so Blaze because I do need to get back my inheritance from my uncle”, she responded.
“That is what I wanted us to discuss though you took my words in the wrong direction and analyzed it in your way saying things that I did not even worry of in mind”, his words came out giving rise to a guilty face.
Blaze told her not to feel guilty and let her know that she could think that way because he was hers, but going back to the subject matter of what he wanted them to discuss, he noticed Crystal that he was going to stand for her throughout the process with her uncle and the moment they leave from that resort, she was supposed to be mentally strong as to face her uncle in court.
” Court?”, she exclaimed.
“Yes, we will have to take him to court if everything you said he is keeping from you is true”, Blaze asserted. His reasons were very simple as he was aware of the fact, that men were not like women and if he could do something like that to his niece over her birthright, it simply implies that he could go to any extent just to keep them to himself. His thoughts were suddenly interrupted when Crystal responded to him as she said,
” Everything I said was the truth and sincerely, I am not sure that I am ready to face my uncle just yet”, she implored.
“I can understand you babe, but if we have to do this, then it will be better than we do it now though it will not be easy because he might have different claims which might not be in favor of you”, he tried to prepare her mind beforehand.
” Claims? What do you buy that?”, she said all worried not being able to focus on what he was explaining but Blaze placed his finger on her lips, he told her not to worry about a thing as he told her that he was going to be by her side.
Crystal gave him a sad stare and with tears falling out of her eyes, she whispered,
“I wish things were different from the way they are present but I still can’t wrap my hands around the reasons why he had to suddenly turn like this towards me”.
” Do not think about things like this anymore okay, we will fix stuff pretty soon as I can guarantee you that”, he quieted down, and rising to his feet, sat down by her while embracing her warmly.
“I love you Crystal Melody Taylor, and I am going to stand by you no matter what”, his words soothed her heart, and with a painful voice she raised a question,
