Chapter Fourteen - Cousins

KRYSTALLIA
"Right, come in here and explain why you want your ex back," I sighed, rubbing my temples and Zach squeezed my arm reassuringly. Vanessa walked in but froze when she saw Monica.
"Mo, the hell you're doing here?"
"Van, I'm here for my boyfriend, just like you."
"Your boyfriend..." she looked around and her eyes landed on Zach. She leaned forward, her cleavage on show, "So you're the one my cousin has been pining for."
Ohhh, they're just cousins. Eh, still related though.
Vanessa took a few steps towards us and looked up at Zach. "You look hot for a guy who broke Mo's heart. And you're...this whore's boyfriend."
I raised an eyebrow and before I could give my snarky opinion, Monica cut in, "Van, stop flirting with mine and get yours."
I tried to stifle a laugh and Vanessa snapped her head to me, "What's so funny?"
"I'm sorry, but Van? How is no one cracking up at that? Is 'Van' implying that you were run over by one and that's why you're so dumb?"
The moment I ended the sentence, Zach burst out laughing. Someone from upstairs was laughing too and-
Sam's standing at the indoor balcony from the first floor looking down at us with his glass of whiskey in his hand. He doubled over laughing his ass off but somehow isn't spilling anythi-
I spoke too soon.
The drink flew out of the glass and got on Monica. Zach laughed even harder seeing her drenched in whiskey.
But that moment of laughter was immediately silenced by-
"What the fuck is going on here?!"
Staph cutting me off! Just staph.
I turned to see Kris, KT, Mark, and Dylan the driver. Yay, Dylan! The OG driver! :D
Kris looked pissed and he rarely, and I mean rarely, gets angry. I waved, "Hey guys."
Mark waved from the back, "Hey princess."
I placed a hand on Zach's side and he reluctantly let go of me. I walked over to Kris and wrapped my arms around his torso. He softened and wrapped his arms around my waist, placing his forehead on my shoulder.
"You're home."
"I'm home, Krystal."
I let go and he pulled away to look behind me, "Get the two out of my house and deal with this outside. Someone clean the mess that brunette is making."
Cain and Tom nodded, rushing away and Vanessa wanted to follow him but was stopped by Sam spilling the rest of his whiskey on her.
Hey, at least his aim's still on point even when he's drunk.
Kris grumbled and snapped his fingers. Mark and Dylan dragged the two whiskey-covered cousins out and KT went to me. He placed a small peck on my forehead, "I missed you, Kryssie."
"You've only been gone for ten hours," I giggled and he ruffled my hair, "Still too long."
KT walked up the stairs and Kris sighed, "Now can someone explain what the fuck happened while we were gone? And in full so I could decide whether to kill Sam, Zach, or the two outside."
If we were in a cartoon, let's say Tom & Jerry (heh, Tom), I'm pretty sure Kris would have steam coming out of his ears.
I jumped and wrapped my arms around his neck. On instinct, his arms went around my hips to keep me from falling.
"Don't be mad with us, please?" I said and he leaned his head on mine, "I'm not mad, Krystal. At least, not with you. You're too cute to be mad at."
He gently steadied me on my feet and I looked up at him, "Then sit back, relax, and listen to the crossover of the year."

I've never seen my brother this emotionless in my entire life. Like, his poker face was so strong, he'd win every round of poker, not that he doesn't already.
But still, at the end of the recap, Kris just stared at us with the most unamused look I've ever seen on his face.
"That's it?" he asked, "Two exes coming back for their old lovers, going bat-shit crazy?"
I nodded and he pinched the bridge of his nose, "Get Howards in here."
Dylan the driver went to get ginger and Kris looked at me, "They sound like they're ready to kill you so I want more bodyguards everywhere you go. I don't care what you say, this is for your safety."
"I know, Kris," I said, defeated. His face softened and he got up to kneel in front of me.
"I'm doing it to protect you, Krystal. I know how much you hate people watching you, but until this problem is solved, you're gonna have to get used to guards watching your every move."
"I know, and I'll let you," I said, not wanting to further this conversation any longer. He got the memo and went back to sit. Dylan walked back out but this time, Cain was trailing behind him.
"Y-You wanted to s-see me, sir?"
"Last time it was you too. What the hell were you thinking when you got with this girl? Please recap the whole relationship timeline," Kris said, an eyebrow raised.
