This girl's still on repeat
Plays in my mind, won't let me sleep
She's not the one who's in my sheets
'Cause she's no good
She defies all of my dreams
And expectations she won't meet
I'll pack my bags and try to leave
I wish I could
'Cause I need this more than
just a one night stand
Need that honey
when she hold my hand
Times like this,
they call for true romance
But she's not ready for that.

"Is it that bad?" Krystal asked on the call with Peggy, walking downstairs.

"Yeah, I won't be joining you all to the party." Peggy replied, lowly.

"I didn't know, pregnancy came with this much sickness." She said, reaching the ground floor and seeing a box on the living room table with a bouquet of black roses over it.

"I guess, they get worse when you get closer to the delivery date." Peggy said and Krystal furrowed her brows, walking upto the table.

"Oh yeah, when's your due date?" She asked, picking up the bouquet and smelling them.

"Two and a half months." Peggy replied and Krystal raised her brows in amusement, listening to her.

"That's great, Pegs." Krystal said, smiling and keeping the bouquet down on the table.

"Yeah, it is. Alright, I won't keep you any longer, you must need to get ready for the party." Peggy said making Krystal smile.

"Okay. I'm gonna miss you, though." Krystal said pouting her lips.

"You are a sweetheart. You know that?" Peggy asked making Krystal chuckle.

"I've been told a couple of times." She replied earning a laugh from her. "Alright, I'll talk to you later. Take care, Pegs." She added.

"You too, Krys. Bye." Peggy lovingly said.

"Bye." Krystal said with a smile and hung up the call, and slipped the phone in her Jean's pocket.

Inhaling and exhaling, deeply, Krystal looked down at the matte black box with a golden ribbon on it. She pulled the ribbon, taking it off and opened it, to find a black card kept above a white, diamond gown with a fluff-off shoulders collar.

She picked up the card with a note written with golden ink.

I'm sorry, couldn't
deliver this in person, doll.
I'd love to see you in this, tonight
when I'll come to pick up my queen.
~J.B.B.

Biting her lower lip, Krystal blushed, reading the note and kept it the back pocket of her jeans. Running her fingers over the satin dress, she pulled it up and looked at it in amazement at the beauty of the gown.

The door bell rang.

Listening to the bell, Krystal kept the dress down and strided down to the main doors, opening them to be met with the two people she was already expecting.

"Hey, girl!" Carvo said, throwing his arms in the air making Krystal beam at him.

"Hi!" Krystal squealed as he pulled her into a hug. "How are you?" She asked as he pulled back, looking at her.

"Oh, you know me, shinning like a diamond." He said walking inside with a smile while Krystal greeted Shia, invited her inside as well and closed the doors behind her.
