Krystal pov:
It was silent, so eerily silent. Jenny has her mouth sealed but her eyes were piercing at me. If only eyes could kill, I'd be dead by now.My heart was thumping so hard that it might jump out of my chest. I was embarrassed, totally, utterly ashamed. I want to hide, or better, burry myself sixty feet below the ground.God, what have I done?Jenny continues to gaze at me, I really cannot read her eyes. Is she judging me now? Is she disgusted with me now? What is she thinking about me? Did I just officially lose a friend?
The silence continues for so long – the silence was dangerously deafening. I can feel Jenny's eyes are still on me, she never did look anywhere else. I fidget with my fingers, my back is sweating tremendously.
I bite my lips before attempting to speak. "Jen-""What were you thinking!? Oh my fucking god, Krystal! How could you not tell m

Krystal pov:Am I dreaming? Hallucinating? Am I even seeing it real? He's here, is he? Nick, he's here and he's standing right before me, in front of me in his flesh.I was frozen on spot, every muscle in me came to a halt like I was paralyzed. What do I do? What do I say?I look into his eyes and I can see his glossy one full of regrets. If there was one thing I really know about Nick, it's his eyes. His eyes hide nothing – his eyes are his nakedness that you could literally see his soul. His eyes are very much readable to me, he conveys his feeling with his eyes, he speaks through it.I and Nick stare at each other as if the world has stopped and everything around the two of us disappear. I could hear no sound, I could see nothing but him. The time tickles – seconds passed away, turning into minutes.It was so dreading, deafening but yet you could do nothing. You just keep on staring at him.Nick l

Krystal pov; Time seems to run fast when I was happy and slow when I'm sad. A minute felt like years and everything are just slowing down, painfully slow. Why is that, I ask myself? I tried not to think, to not feel anything but it only made me feel a lot. It has been days and I still feel restless. Nick only showed himself for a brief moment yet that very brief moment affected me for such a long time. I should be okay after he left, I should feel fine after his appearance but I'm not and now, I just realized the damage he caused me. The damage is deep and painful – I just realized it now and I feel like there's no cure to it. It has been days, I could barely remember how many days has gone by and each night of each day, I was sleepless. The only thing that kept me going the next day is my daily dose of coffee. I could also barely eat. I was tired of feel

Author pov: The silence was kind of deafening Krystal as she and Xavier drive off back to the company. Was there tension? Yes, but she don't know what kind of tension it was. She can feel that the sexual tension between the two of them was long gone after the two of them left the ceremony. Is Xavier angry? Krystal looks at him as he focuses his eyes on the road. He seems unbothered by her stares and continues to focus on rotating the when here and there as he makes a turn. Krystal gave up and finally looked outside. She was stressing and yet now, she's even more stressed. Her head starts to ache. She closed her eyes for a brief moment trying to ease herself and get rid of the pain she's feeling. She cursed mentally for not trying hard to have a decent sleep and proper meals. Now, she's suffering from her own stupi

Krystal Pov: "You'll take a week off." Xavier instructs me. My head snaps at him. "And you're staying with me." I stared blankly at my luggage that was already packed and ready to bring. I couldn't believe my eyes. Xavier was really serious about bringing me to his home, letting me stay with him. "I asked Jenny to pack your things for you. You should get ready, I'll be waiting outside." I heard his footsteps fading and the door closing but I remain frozen, my ears ringing from hearing his command. I'm not ready, I wasn't, and maybe I'll never be. I don't know what to do. Why would Xavier want me to come with him? I look towards the door as it leaves a few spaces before me, I never get to see

Krystal pov:After eating, it took me a lot of convincing to let Xavier let me do the dishes. I don't want to feel like a princess in his house, I owe him a lot and there are only small things I could do to repay him, that include washing the dishes.Xavier denied my request, saying that I need to rest more than I already is. I argued with him, saying that I'm feeling fine already. Having a twenty-four-hour of sleeping and resting at the hospital did that to me, I told him that. And I also told him that washing the dishes isn't a hard task.After bantering, Xavier finally let me. And so, here I'm washing the plates and other utensils we two use while Xavier is in the living room watching TV.After finishing, I dry them and put them on their respective rack. My eyes wander around. Thinking of Xavier as a guy, I'm impressed how neat and orderly his house is, re

Krystal pov:I ended up making dinner for Xavier and me. It's past seven and I was still in the kitchen, still cooking. I don't know what time he will be home but I wish he'll come early. I don't want him to eat cold foods.After about half an hour, I was finished. The food are already settled on the table and I was just waiting for Xavier to come. I was silently wishing that he would come home early.Fortunately about five minutes later, or so, I heard the door being open. My body jolts, I stand up. Xavier walks in, discarding his suit and case onto the leather couch. I see him remove his tie and undo two buttons of his shirt.When Xavier turns, I jolt once again. His eyes met mines and it makes me nervous.I fiddle with my fingers, my lip got stuck between my teeth. "Hi," I say to

Krystal pov: Morning came so easily, so fast than I expected it to be. I instantly stretch my body once my feet reach the floor. To my surprise, I'm feeling energetic today. I wonder why is it. It could be because of the good sleep or it could be about last night? A sudden flush tainted my cheeks on the remembrance of last night. The sight of Xavier nestled between my legs and the feeling of mouth and tongue on makes me feel like burning once again. I shake my head, shooing the images from last night. As much as I want to reminisce each moment last night, I need to go out and prepare breakfast for Xavier. Yes, I woke up early today to do that. Thinking that I was staying with him for I don't know how long, it's at least I could provide. It's such a hassle for him for me to stay with him and a hassle with me bein

Krystal pov:Xavier drove past different streets for about twenty minutes now and I still don't know where the two of us are going besides he's taking me out for dinner.Upon knowing Xavier would be taking me out, I choose to wear a floral dress that reaches my middle thighs paired with two-inch heels that quite match his outfit tonight. I did my hair simply by letting it fall on my back with light makeup on. I didn't really bother.And of course... I was feeling excited tonight, giddy even. I can't help but feel something tugging in my chest knowing Xavier is taking me out. Is this a date, I asked myself. Xavier hasn't said anything for me to label it as a date but in its literal sense, it could fall into the date category. What could it mean otherwise, a man taking me out for dinner just the two of Us?'Yep, it's a date.' I say to myself. 'A date with Xavier.The car ride continues
