Chapitre 22: Dirty Little Secrets

Two years later

December 31st 2021, 10h30 

Two years went by since Antoine and I started seeing each other secretly. Audrey is now 4 years old and she has his attitude. It's now more obvious than ever. She looks so much like him physically too. She still calls him daddy. Babe rarely comes to visit her nowadays, he's still a lot into Brittany and mad at me. Not much have changed. I had to make people believe I had a one night stand with a stranger to ease the tension between us a little. I felt judged by a lot of people. They thought I was using Babe at first and lied to him. It didn't go well. I felt like the tables turned on me, to be honest. Then, Babe and I both told them he wanted to be the dad and that we just didn't know who the biological father was at one point. At first we thought it was Babe, but there was never any cheating involved. My family still wasn't very impressed with me but they eventually accepted it. Joanna still takes Ti-Beeby as her grand-daughter. She is too, biologically, but we can't tell her that. Other than that, I still work at the club and so does Babe and Antoine. Not much have changed in the last two years except that Brittany and I started hanging out again. The Darkanen gives us a bit more slack now that they know our identities, but they still wander the streets and wants to know where we are going. We're not free yet, they still control Dreamland.  

Tonight is the New Years Eve's party. This year, Babe is organizing it. He's also gonna DJ at the same time. I am surprised he invited me to be honest. We still talk but mostly just at work and because of his mom. Brittany and I are still good friends though. We went shopping the other day. It's just Babe, he obviously still is mad at me. His party is pretty fun so far though. There's bright lights everywhere and good music. He made his place look just like a club. There's different types of shooters and for once I don't have to serve them. He also made some nachos like the ones we have at work. The night is a success. After a long and hard year, I think we deserve this. I enjoy some Kahlua's as a feel good drink. 

Antoine comes in at eleven thirty. He looks like a real treat. I hope I'll get the chance to spend some time with him tonight. Mmm those lips, so kissable. We dont see each other often enough, which is understandable too. 

Antoine: Hello Crystal. How are you tonight? 

Crystal: I'm doing well, how about you? 

Antoine: I'm good, thank you. 

We try to keep it normal in front of others. It is so hard though. I'd kiss him right now. I look at him and I realize that I am so lucky to have found my perfect match. Some say that people should go with someone with a different personality, but I just don't see myself with one too far off. Antoine and I are both INFJ personalities when it comes to the Myers Briggs tests. We're both loners with rare traits who loves arts and peace. Quiet left handed people with mysterious, large blue eyes who likes different genres of music. We both feel like no one understands us. I never thought I could find someone like that before. And we also like black. He's just way more serious than me and doesn't smile often. He reminds me of a cat sometimes. His hair is soft like one's anyway. Antoine Darkanen-Moon, the sexiest evil King there is. With his long black coat, his dark hair, his tribal tattoos and his usual poker face. The man of my dreams. 

A couple minutes before midnight, Antoine sends me a wink. I know what it means. He wants his midnight kiss, so we need to find a way to get it. We escape the suite discreetly to go to his. Not at the same time of course to avoid any suspicions. He kisses me hard and it just gets hotter and hotter. Eventually my clothes touches the floor. 

Crystal: You're crazy. They're still over there, they'll notice we're missing. Beebe is there too. 

Antoine: We'll make it quick then.
