chapter seventeen

˚₊✩‧₊

CLASS day had finally arrived, and Gigi couldn't be more excited about it. Even though she had talked to Crystal over the phone during the weekend, she was intensely looking forward to seeing her saintly face, as pure as the driven snow one more time; though, there was an aspect to Crystal that captivated Gigi the most — her innocence. She found her adorable. So, you could tell how peppy Gigi was to see her favorite girl in the world... even if they weren't anything more than good friends.

Gigi jumped out of the shower, and excitedly put on her clothes, dried her hair, and, for the first time in a while, put some light makeup on. She knew Kelly and every other silk performer with a brain would disapprove, but Gigi didn't care — she was doing it for Crystal, and Crystal only. She'd do anything for her.

Gigi stopped applying lipstick for a minute to take a look at herself in the mirror. Untold questions popped up on her mind — Was she doing this right? Would Crystal even care to notice her makeup? Would it be all for nothing? Was Crystal doing the same efforts to impress her? Had Crystal changed her? The very last one remained on her mind, and got Gigi thinking. Had she?

''Crystal has for sure changed me — back when she wasn't around, my life was fine; but she obviously had to come to town to shut it down, and I guess I just had to adapt? No one has ever made me feel like Crystal does — special, valid, unique; and I had never put so much endeavor to conquer someone. I mean, look at me — I'm putting on lipstick, and this eyelash thing to go to work!'' Gigi thought aloud, and ended up throwing her makeup across the bathroom. She was about to rub her hand across her face, and burst out crying; but she managed to stop herself just in time before she ruined her makeup.

''Fuck you, Crystal Methyd. I'm falling hard for you.'' Gigi said, taking one last look at the mirror, while laughing hysterically; right before picking up her keys from the kitchen, where they were hanged, and leaving the house.

SIMILARLY to Gigi, Crystal was more than thrilled to see the blonde again. Gigi texting her had definitely taken Crystal by surprise; but Crystal had always loved surprises — and without question, this particular one had been her favorite.

Many qualms had originated in Crystal's mind, especially regarding her relationship with Gigi. The blonde had got her very confused, when she'd sensually hit on her one moment, and then act companionable the other; but now, Crystal was pretty sure Gigi was, even in the slightest bit, attracted to her. And even if she was wrong, Crystal relied on Jackie's advice, and was willing to take the risk of making the first move.

Crystal got out of her car, and walked towards the circus tent entrance, as she usually did. Gigi greeted her as soon as she walked inside, but the blonde got a surprise as well.

''Well, someone finally took my advice on appropriate clothing, a month later!'' Gigi joked, looking at her up and down, and smiling timidly. Crystal was wearing dark ocean blue tights, and a light pink loose long-sleeved t-shirt; just like Gigi had advised her to do, back when they had had their first class together.

Gigi chuckled while looking at how unusual Crystal looked — she could've never pictured her wearing something like that; but still, Gigi thought Crystal looked cute, like she always did. The close-fitting tights hugged her figure in all the right places, allowing Gigi to admire the redhead's arousing physique.

''Don't I look cute?'' Crystal exclaimed, twirling around like a child.

''You always do; but, and don't kill me for saying this! — I kind of miss the neon baggy attire.'' Gigi confessed, preparing the silks for class.

''Ugh, Gigi. So, what, are going to punish me for finally listening to you?'' Crystal asked, in an ironic tone.

''Should I?'' Gigi flirtatiously replied, while climbing on the silk, and doing an impressive trick, to finally lean back to look at Crystal.

''I kind of want you to...'' Crystal whispered to the blonde's ear, making her get goosebumps.

''Crystal Methyd, you're gonna be the end of me.'' Gigi genuinely confessed, making the two girls awkwardly laugh.
