Episode 7
(Xander’s Crystal)
Crystal looked at Jimmy and then the lieing detector.
“Loretta come on answer” He said smiling.
“You wanna know if I killed somebody” She asked smiling
“Sure, I know you haven’t” He says.
“Nope i haven’t killed somebody before” She replied and the machine shows the green light.
“Awesome, I was beginning to think you’ve killed someone before” Jimmy said and carries the lie detector.
Crystal grins, being smart is something Crystal is blessed with, just like Jimmy said the lie detector reads the brain and her brain was thinking about the Crystal of 5 years ago who can’t even hurt a fly.
…………………….
Immediately Xander leaves the room, Stella goes under the bed and Carlos crawls out.
“You have to leave now” She whispers to him.
“But we’re not done yet”
“F-ck you Carlos, I’ll meet you at our usual s₱0t, take the window and f-ck out” She whispers and pushes him away, he taps her ass playfully and jumps out.
“Am coming baby” Stella yells nervously even though nobody is calling her.
…………………
Xander clicks on his laptop looking at the victims of the assassin, but he’s finding it hærd to focus on his work as the image of unclad crystal keeps on popping in his brain.
“F-ck” He says frustrated and bangs the laptop making it to fall to the ground.
“Honey are you okay” Stella asks shocked to see him create such a mess.
“It’s nothing” Xander replies,carries his laptop and leaves Stella.
………………….
NEXT DAY
Crystal looks at the room Jimmy gives to her it’s the room Xander crashes in when he’s not at home , impressive but nothing compared to hers.
“I’ll go have a shower” Crystal says flashing him one of her best innocent smile.
“Erm okay” Jimmy says scratching his head and walks out.
She takes out her phone and locks the door.
“Hey Dina you slimy bitch why the f-ck did you put a c-ndom in my dress” She said.
“Oh come on, it’s a send off gift. I know you would still f-ck Xander so Incase that happens there’s protection”
“F-ck you am not an ho-ny bitch” Crystal replied.
“So how’s things going”
“Great so far so good” Crystal said and heard Jimmy footsteps.
“I’ll call you back” Crystal says and cuts the call.
Jimmy knocks on the door.
“You can come in”
“Erm am sorry, Xander just called and said he wants to take you shopping, not for any negative reason it’s just because you don’t have anything to wear again”
“Oh ok” Crystal replies.
……………
Xander parks in front of Jimmy’s house and Crystal enters his car.
“Hey Loretta how you doing” He says looking at the clothes she was putting on, he tries not to laugh but he can’t help it.
“What’s funny” Crystal asked getting offended.
“It’s nothing, it’s just I didn’t expect you to make my cloth fit you so perfectly” He said.
“Oh am wearing your clothes, am sorry I didn’t have any clothes to wear”
“Na it’s nothing, get in” He says and she enters the car.
………………….
Xander and Crystal come out of the car and walk into the mall receiving jealous stares from both genders.
Crystal smiles and starts feeling herself, both looked like couples.
“Am shy” Crystal said clutching closer to Xander and putting her hand in Xander’s. It was all part of the plan. Make the almighty Xander fall for her.
Xander holds her hand tight and touches her hair.
“It’s okay” He said and smiled to her.
…………………..
Stella and Carlos walk hand and hand in the mall, buying everything at sight, both enjoying Xander’s money.
“Carlos I need to use the rest room” Stella says and excuses herself.
“Okay” He says and looks at the clothing line in front of him.
He turns back but looks back again when he realizes what he saw behind the clothing line.
Stella’s husband hand to hand with a goddess.
“The bastard is cheating on my Stella” He says and brings out his phone to call Stella but firstly he takes a picture of both of them
……………………
Xander picks different clothes for Crystal, for a man like him he was actually stylish.
“Xander I need to use the rest room”
“Okay I’ll be here waiting” He said and Crystal smiled and walked to the rest room, on her way someone bumps into her making her purse falls down, Crystal becomes annoyed that the person doesn’t apologize.
“I guess sorry is a heavy word now” Crystal says and the lady turns back and makes a sarcastic laugh.
“Am sorry but I don’t apologize to lowlifes” She says to Crystal who’s shocked by who was standing in front of her.
“You” Crystal says trying to catch her breath.
“Yes have we met, of course we can’t. I don’t intEr×¢t with lowlifes” She says and walks away. Crystal paces around in anger trying to control herself from destroying the walls.
She walks in the rest room and washes her face off with the water, memories of the past keep on flashing.
“Aaaaaaargh” Crystal scre-ms viciously and punches the mirror shattering the glass into different pieces and tearing her hands making it bleed badly.
Crystal sits on the floor and starts and tries to control the hatred in her, she looks at the pieces of glass and thinks of stabbing the lady with it. The only thing she was thinking of was to kill her.
She holds a piece of glass and tights it on her hand tearing her palm and making it bleed.
“Calm down Crystal, Calm down” She says to herself.
FLASHBACK TO 5 YEARS AGO
Stella and Crystal walk together to Carlos house, unknown to Crystal the both had planned for her already.
They knock on his door and he comes to open it few seconds after.
“Hi Crystal” He says to her and walks her in.
When Crystal ain’t watching he hits Stella on the ass playfully.
“Welcome to my home” He says.
“Thanks you have a nice home” She replies.
“So what do you want me to get you, wine whisky or….”
“Just water” Crystal replied smiling.
“Okay” He says and walks to the kitchen but first he collects a powder substance from Stella.
“Crystal Carlos is a very nice guy”
“Yeah, he is” Crystal replied. She trusted him so much and she had fallen in love with him already.
“Here’s your glass of water” He says and gives Stella a glass of wine.
Crystal takes the water in one gulp while Stella and Carlos give themselves signs.
“Crystal I want you to have this” Carlos says and gives her a necklace.
“It’s my mom’s , she says to give it to the woman that I love more than I love her. I thought it was impossible to love somebody more than you love your mother but then I met you and now I want to give this to you” He said.
“Carlos” Crystal said excitedly as Carlos puts the necklace on her chain.
“It’s beautiful” Stella says pretending to be amazed.
“Crystal you’re so lucky do you know how many girls want Carlos, and here he’s treating you with so much love”
Crystal looks at the necklace and looks at Carlos, nobody has showed her so much love before. Even her own mother hasn’t.
“Erm Crystal I need to get something down the street for my mom, I’ll be back” Stella says and leaves leaving Crystal alone with Carlos.
END OF FLASHBACK
Crystal walks to Xander after hurting herself in the rest room.
“God Loretta what happened to your hand ” Xander asked.
“I slipped, it’s nothing” Crystal said.
Xander looked at her and studied her, the looks on her face showed she was hurt.
“Are you okay” He asked.
“Yes, I just want to rest” She said.
“Okay enough shopping for today” Xander said and walked her outside.
Before entering the car a beggar walks to Xander and beg for money, he dips his hand in his pocket and gives her some change, Loretta is in the car already.
“Thank you my son” She says and grabs his palm, then feels it like she’s reading it.
“YOU HAVE DIAMONDS, GOLDS, RUBIES, SILVERS but you only have one Crystal, don’t lose it” She says and walks away. Xander is confused.
