Contractually Yours Bad Day, Worse Night
Crystal RussellMy peaceful slumber was frantically disturbed by a harsh and loud knock on the bedroom door. Groaning, I rubbed my eyes and checked the time. It was still just 6:30. I sighed and yelled as the knocking did not stop. "Hold on."I opened the door and squinted my eyes to see a panicked Adrien running his hands through his messy hair. "What happened?" I asked him as a yawn escaped my mouth."Mom just called and informed me that Aunt Margaret is coming today." He spoke quickly."What? But she was going to come tomorrow, right?" I too had started to panic. We weren't ready to face her already. We had a lot to discuss and prepare."I don't know but her plans changed. She is coming today. Now come on. We need to get things ready." He came inside my room and started pacing front and back. "She might be here anytime.""Let's start with shifting your things to my room."My essential things that I use daily and nearly half of my closet was shifted to Adrien's room at supersonic sp
Contractually Yours Somebody to Lean on
Adrien RussellHaving Alan Marshall around wasn't pleasant. At least not to me. Alan had been my biggest rival ever since our college. He competed with me in everything, be it academics, activities, business or girls. I never let his childish acts affect me but he did have his ways to get on my nerves. Just like the way he eyed Crystal today. My hands itched to plug out his eyeballs. Bastard.I brought him away from her as she too was clearly uncomfortable. My friends were really glad to meet her. It didn't take long for her to get comfortable with them. I felt the need to go to the restroom and before leaving, I glanced at Crystal. She turned her head away as our eyes met. I made my way to the restroom and on the way back, I checked my phone to see a couple of missed calls from Aunt Margaret. When I called her back, it was engaged. It was already 10 and I decided we should leave. My eyes landed on Anna, who was near the drink counter, but Crystal was nowhere in sight. I looked ar
Contractually Yours What we Believe
Crystal RussellI was still admiring the moon when I heard the sound of soft grunts. I snapped my eyes to Adrien and saw him rolling on the couch in discomfort. I turned on the bed lights and looked at him as his eyes were clenched hard as if in pain."Adrien, are you okay?" I asked, worried."Hm? Y- yea. Just a little headache." He groaned with his eyes shut."Shall I give you a pain killer?" I asked."No. It's okay. I am just tired. I will be fine." He said but I wasn't convinced. He was visibly in pain and I couldn't sit and do nothing about it."You should sleep on the bed." I was already out of the bed and walked near to him."Bu-" "I am not asking, Adrien. Take the bed." I did not let him argue. He sighed and stood up to go to bed. His groans did not stop. Instead, his breath turned harder and I couldn't see him like that anymore.An idea popped in my head, but I hesitated to ask him. What if he wouldn't be comfortable? I thought to myself. But when he groaned indicating extreme
Contractually Yours Sweet Little Nothings
Adrien Russell"You will not work with that man." My voice boomed across the room. Crystal flinched at my tone and I clenched my eyes tightly to control my growing annoyance."I do not like him, Crystal. I don't like it when his name is mentioned, I don't like his presence, and I hate you being around him." I said through my gritted teeth. With a confused frown, Crystal stood up from the chair."Why would you say that? What is your issue with him anyway?" She sounded offended.Of course, she'd be. I just said that I dislike her 'friend'."I don't know, Crystal." I stood up and growled. "All I know is that I don't trust him with you. Not after what happened at the party.""Evan is nothing like what you think." Her voice rose up."How do you know that? I ran into him in one of my hotels today and--""I know what happened. He told me." She yelled loudly. "But that, Mr. Adrien Russell, does not give you the right to judge him." She stomped towards me with angry eyes."Let me remind you th
Contractually Yours Date to Remember
Crystal RussellI ran a hand over my curves through the clothes, scanning myself in the mirror. I wore a wine colour crop top with spaghetti straps and a sweetheart neckline along with a white pencil skirt."Crystal! Come On." I heard Adrien call from outside the room as I was wearing my accessories."I am coming." I yelled back and quickly wore my white sneakers before leaving the room. "I am ready." I called him."Finally." He turned around as his eyes fell on me, he scanned me from top to toe with his mouth parted. I suddenly felt a bit conscious by his reaction and awkwardly brushed my fingers through my hair while moving closer to where he was.I pleased my eyes with his insanely handsome looks. He wore a greyish t-shirt and pants, paired with a blue blazer and styled his hair perfectly, making his features stand out."Let's go then." He snapped out of his trance and started walking to the main door. I matched my pace with him and we seated ourselves in his car. For the first few
Contractually Yours Down the Memory Lane
Crystal Russell“Lily told me that Sophie had paid a visit.” Adrien said and I remembered about it. “Oh, Yes. I forgot to tell you.” He nodded then said again, “What had she come for?” He looked skeptical as he asked. “She apologized for being arrogant towards me at our wedding. And as we talked a little, we became pretty fond of each other. I like her.” I smiled widely. “That’s… good?” He turned to look in the front as he said. It was more like a question as he had doubts if was really good. “You both must have been really close friends. She knew a lot about you.” I told him. I hoped my envy wasn't evident in my voice. "Yes. Our mothers were good friends and we grew up with each other's company." He told me and I nodded. "All these years, you never noticed her growing feelings for you?" I asked out of curiosity. I knew Sophie had loved him and I wanted to know about his feelings too. "I never saw Sophie as anything but a friend. When she came out clear to me about her feelings
Contractually Yours What Feels Like Home
Crystal RussellI was at Hannah's place along with three other friends for a sleepover. I was excited after a very long time. We had fun all day, had pizza and ice creams for dinner and by midnight, we decided to watch a horror movie. After many arguments, we finally concluded that we would watch Annabelle. The lights of the room were turned off and the door was shut. The only source of light was the screen of the laptop playing the movie that fluctuated from bright to dim. The four of us were sunk in the bed under the warmth of the blanket. The movie went on with some scenes that made us flinch but we laughed it off while munching on the choco-chunks. I had always hated dolls. Even barbies. I had never played with them in my childhood either. So the only thing I actually hated or let's say scared me in the movie was obviously, Annabelle. Not her actions but her appearance. Soon, when the movie ended, for the millionth time I told my friends how much that doll disgusted me and
