Krystal decided to give David at least a week to greave alone. Bright and early the next morning of the following week she was at David's door. On her way to work she decided to give David a quick check. She knocked on the door but there was no answer. She knocked again but still nothing. She then tried ringing his cell phone and then his home phone but nothing. "David?" Called Krystal, but there was no response. She decided to go around back. David's car was in the garage and his mail as well as a week's worth of news papers were sitting on his door step. "Oh my god!" Uttered Krystal. First taught came to her mind is that David had committed suicide. She knocked angrily on the door but still her knocks seem to have fallen on deaf ears. Krystal became ever more concerned, she felt that her only choice was to get inside. Scanning the yard she placed her gaze on a concrete plant pot. She rushed over to it, grabbed the plant by its trunk, headed up the stairs and swung it at the glass door. It shattered. Krystal quickly placed her hand inside and unlocked the door. "David? David?" She shouted. She rushed passed the kitchen, empty pizza boxes, snack wrappings and alcohol bottles plastered the kitchen floor. "David?" Shouted Krystal to the top of her voice. She ran up the stairs and into the bedroom but David was no where in sight. "David?" She called out once again, as she looked around she saw a door slightly opened. She rushed over to the door and pushed it open and saw David on the floor of the bathroom in his bedroom. David was face down pasted out on the floor, in his birthday suit, with a few bottles of beers beside him. Krystal froze on seeing this sight. "Wow!" Uttered Krystal. "Oh David why did you have to drink so much." She then scanned him from head to feet noticing his muscular body, she pasted his smooth neck onto his broad back and ripped arms, down to his firm butt checks, onto his strong legs and calves and then back up to his butt checks again before she could say to herself, "What are you doing? contain yourself." She decided to search through the bedroom closets, her eyes past all of David's clothes as she said to herself, "the devil is very busy, if I only think of getting you dressed I will be attempted to do a full body check so to avoid that let's move on." She gazed on a shelf full of bath towels. She then took one of the large towels and covered David's body. "I can't just leave you here," Krystal said to herself. "Gosh!!!!! what do I do, what do I do, Hey David, Wake up!!" shouted Krystal. She tried to wake him by throwing water on his face, but that failed, she poked and slapped him on his back but to no avail. Krystal checked to make sure he was breathing. David exhaled a soft sob and she was assured that he was alive. Krystal dragged him into the bedroom. She knew that lifting him onto the bed was impossible so she spread a blanket on the floor and rolled David onto it. She left him to rest and decided to clean the place up. She made her way back downstairs. "This place is such a mess," uttered Krystal, she shuffled her way through the kitchen floor. She kicked a Chinese box to her side and out jumped a rat. Krystal screamed to the top of her voice. She placed one hand on her chest, settled herself and got back down to business. "You can do this, you can do this," she said to herself. She spent roughly four hours cleaning, she swept, mopped, dusted, washed dishes and even washed all of David's clothes. By the time she was finished cleaning it was close to twelve noon. All the while David was sound asleep on the bedroom floor. After Krystal had finish cleaning she mixed up a drink for David for when he woke that would help him take the ez off. She quietly walked up stairs and placed the drink on his night stand. She was sweaty and exhausted so she decided to help herself to a cold shower. On coming out of the shower Krystal realized she had not walked with a change of clothes. "Oh my god!! I really did not think this through." She uttered to herself. She searched quickly through the closets trying to be as quiet as possible. Krystal saw some of Britney's clothes hanging neatly in the closet. She stared but refused to touch any of them as she didn't want to disrespect or upset David in anyway. She decided to move to David's section of the closet. "Oh god this is so embarrassing," she whispered to herself. Krystal then took a jersey, a fitted underpants and a short pants from one of the draws and quickly dried herself and got dressed. She decided to check on David, he was still sound asleep so she headed back into the kitchen and decided to whip something up for when David woke up. Krystal was almost finish cooking, she was facing towards the stove with her back turned to the staircase. Not long after David woke up, he noticed that he was on the floor and all that covered him was a towel. He started to worry, he question himself. "What did I do last night? What happen?" He just could not fathom what took place. He stood up fixed the towel around his waist and looked around, he spotted a note that Krystal had written saying, "drink this you will feel better." He watch the drink and hesitated to drink it afraid that it might be his last drink. He held the drink in his hand and said to himself, "if they wanted to kill me they would of already done so." David drank the cup of liquid, placed the glass back on the night stand and quickly and quietly got dress and made his way downstairs, he spotted Krystal in the kitchen but didn't recognize her. "Hey, who are you?" he shouted. Krystal slowly turned around, on noticing her he said, "Krystal ? But how did you.... She gazed at the broken glass door and said, "I sort of am, broke in." David followed her gaze. "I could see that, but why?" asked David. "I tried calling you, I rang the bell, I even called both your cell phone and your home phone but I got no reply. I got worried so I broke in. I taught you might of ...." Krystal started to get emotional so David hugged her and said, "hey hey its OK, I'm OK". "Are you sure?" ask Krystal." Yes I'm OK for now, just a little down but I'll survive." Krystal let go of David and head back to the stove and said, "OK well I made Mac and cheese that was all I could find, would you like some?" "Yes thanks, I'm starved, I didn't know you knew your way around the kitchen?" Krystal gazed at him and said, "excuse you for your information I have been cooking since I was twelve so catch yourself." "OK gezz I'm sorry," replied David and they both laughed. Krystal dished out a plate of food for David and placed it at the counter where he was sitting. Only then did he fully noticed what she was wearing. "Is that my T-shirt your wearing? "asked David curiously. "Amm yes it is, I sort of took a shower after cleaning up and I had nothing to put on so I took one of your t-shirts and pants." "Wait that's my pants as well? That's just sick, your sick." uttered David with a teasing laugh. "I'm not, replied Krystal. Just eat and shut up," suggested Krystal. David laughed as he placed a fork full of MC in his mouth. Krystal soon joined him. They were both enjoying their meal when David rest his fork down, placed his right hand in the air with his index finger pointing upwards as he slowly finished up what was in his mouth when he looked at Krystal and said, "wait, wait, wait, out of curiosity, you wouldn't happen to have on one of my underwear as well would you?" "Well, am, I didn't have one in my purse, I don't just walk around with an extra underwear so yeh I am wearing your underwear as well," replied Krystal in shame. "Nooooo, now that is sick," said David as he laughed once again. "Oh hush up, uttered Krystal as she give him a friendly push. I will give it back to you shocks." "Noooo, nope, you could keep it, its all yours." "Why you so mean gezz". They both laughed and finished their meal. After they had finish eating Krystal took her plate and David's and scraped the remains into one plate and stacked them on top of each other and was heading to the sink when David grabbed her hand and said, "hey, thank you!" "You're welcome," replied Krystal. "No I mean it, thank you! Not just for the meal but for everything, for being there." She smiled and repeated herself, "you're welcome, I made you a promise and I intend to keep it." Krystal then washed the dishes that was used and then looked at David and he looked at her. They both stared for a while then David said, "so what now?" "Well its to late for me to go the work so I'm going to give my friend a call and see if she can bring me a change of clothes." "You know you can use something from Britney's collection, she has clothes there she have never used before." "Oh no its OK i don't feel comfortable doing that." "OK no problem I understand". "I'm going to give Rachael a call now OK." "OK sure, maybe when you're done I could put on a movie and we could watch it until she gets here?" "Sure that sounds nice," Krystal went outside to make the call. She dialed Rachael's number, it rang once and she answered. " Krystal?" "Hey." "Where have you been girl, I have been trying to contact you, I even call the office and they said you did not show up for work so where are you?" "Ammmmm..."well spill it, where the hell are you?" "I'm at David's place." "You mean THE David? The hot stud muffin with the firm butt?" "Firm alrite whispered Krystal." "What was that?" asked Rachael. "Oh nothing, yes that's the one," she replied. "Oh my god tell me everything," said Rachael excitingly. "I don't have time neither do you when I see you I'll tell you the whole story OK just listen." "OK I'm listening." "I need you to go to my apartment and bring me some clothes." "Clothes? What you need clothes for, what were you and David doing up in that house, you go girl with your bad self." "Would you stop!" Uttered Krystal. "OK relax I'm just messing with you. You know what I'm gonna leave work now. But how will I get in your apartment?" "When you reach just give me a call and I will tell you where to find the keys". "Ok no problem, bye". Krystal made her way back inside. On entering the living room Krystal met David on the sofa watching a romantic movie and his eyes where teary. "What are you doing to yourself, "uttered Krystal. "Hey you're back," David said trying to hide what was going on. "Yes I am, and we're not watching this movie what else do you have?" "Not many you can select one." Krystal sift through the small pile. Titanic no, Rambo no, dear john, of course not, lion king, "that's a nice movie," David blurted out. "Yeh it is but its still lil sad we need a happy movie." She then selected mall cop, now this we could watch she uttered with excitement. David agreed and they placed it in the player. Fifteen minutes into the movie Krystal's phone rang. Its Rachael she said to David as she stepped out of the living room. "Hey Rachael you're there?" she said as she answered the phone. "Yes I'm here, where are the keys?" "Its under the flower pot". "Which flower pot are you referring to because you know there is like a thousands flower pots out here." Its like the Garden of Eden up in here," they both laughed. "Rach its under the sunflower pot." "OK great. So you want me to bring over your leather suit cat woman?" Ha, ha, ha funny, said Krystal sarcastically. "Just bring me something decent to wear thank you." "No problem sweety just text me the address and I'll let you know when I'm there." "OK bye." Krystal text the address to Rachael and returned to the movie. On entering she notice one of the actors was going to take a trip to a beautiful island. She then suggested to David that they take a vacation. "You know I heard Tobago is a nice place for vacationing maybe me and Rachael could make plans for us and Troy to go there next weekend what do you think?" "OK I think that would be nice, I need something like that." "OK great I'll tell her when she gets here." Another twenty minutes into the movie Rachael pulled up in a taxi. They could see her wondering outside as though lost. Krystal went out to meet her. "What are you wearing, asked Rachael. Is that his clothes?" "Yes it is". "Wow you're so lucky." "You're sick." "Hey I'm not the one in a widower's draws." "Hush up," whispered Krystal as they made their way back inside. On entering the living room Krystal introduced Rachael to David. "Hey David you remember Rachael from the function?" "Yeh I do nice to meet you again," replied David. "Same," answered Rachael flirting. "OK OK come on," said Krystal as she pulled Rachael towards the stairs. "Hey David I'm gonna get changed OK," "OK no problem. On returning downstairs Krystal and Rachael said their goodbyes to David and headed out. While dropping Rachael home she insisted that Krystal tell her everything that took place. "So what happened today?" Asked Rachael. "Its a long story," replied Krystal. "Well then give me the summary!" "OK fine, but promise me you would not say a word until I'm done?" "Fine I promise, now go on". "OK well I was on my way to work and I decided to drop in and check up on David so I called but I got no response so I broke in the back door. When I reached inside the place was a mess, I called out but still he didn't answer so I went upstairs and I saw him in his bathroom on the floor pasted out, butt naked. I got a towel covered him came back downstairs cleaned the place up, took a shower made us something to eat, called you and we put a movie on, made plans to vacation in Tobago and waited until you arrived." Rachael watch at her and said, "you saw David naked?" "Seriously from all that that's what you kept?" "Hell yeh! "So what did you do?" "When?" "When you saw him naked, did you sweat?" "Sweat?

"Yeh cause he is a whole lot of sugar, i wasn't going to let that waste." They laughed out once again. "Your sick you know that," said Krystal. "Yeh I know, just wish he was my doctor." Krystal shook her head and said, "if Troy was here you would never speak like that." "Yeah I know, speaking of him he would enjoy that Tobago trip, he always wanted to go there, when is it again?" "Next weekend." "OK great I can't wait."
