CRYSTAL CLEAR-Jude Bellingham

CHAPTER 18

JUDES POV

I woke up with Crystal in my arms, feeling happy and fulfilled after last night's celebration. Last night was one to remember. She was so mine and mine alone. I hope it stays that way forever. I was grateful to have her by my side. As I watched her sleep, I felt like nothing else mattered. But at the same time, I knew I had to talk to her about something important.

J:"mornin beautiful"

C:"mornin handsome"

J: "how you feelin"

C: "like somebody ran over me with a truck"

J: "nah it was just me"

We laughed

C: "do not make me laugh my stomach hurts when i do"

J: "sorry" and said trought laughter.

She tried to get up, but her legs were steady. Her knees were buckling.

C: "I can't even walk"

J:"HAHAHAHAHAHA shut up it is not that bad"

C: "no do nit get me wrong, the  consequences are horror"

J:"it's normal isn't it?"

C: "oh yes, it will come out within 10 minutes, don't worry about it."

We got dressed and went downstairs. Tolami made us breakfast. Marcus, Toalmi, Bukayo, Crystal and I were sitting at the table.

J: "thanks Lami that looks great"

C: "yep babe thanks"

M:"sooo have you had fun yesterday"

J: "oh we did"

B: "yep we heard you"

C: "Shut up"

T: "no we are fr"
she said laughing

J: "well I hope we gave you some motivation"

M: "i heard nothing tbh"

After breakfast, we gathered with friends to clean the house. There was laughter and jokes as we collected the remains of last night's celebration. Bukayo fell and we all laughed at him. Crystal was there, smiling and happy, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was changing between us.

After cleaning up, we decided to have a picnic with my parents. We went to the hotel and changed into more comfortable clothes. We prepared food and drinks, and the atmosphere was relaxed. We have arrived at the location. It was a meadow in Germany with a wonderful view.

Me and Crystal were the first to come. We set up the blanket and the things we had brought, and the mowed grass of the meadow. We sat and waited for my parents and brother. We sat next to each other, her head on my shoulder. We were looking at the lake in front of us.

J: "Peach"
I started to tell her about the topic that has been bothering me since last night's message. I wanted to continue but I heard a car behind us, it was my parents. I looked at Crystal who was looking at me with confused curiosity.

J: "I love you"

C: "l love you too"

My parents came to hug me and congratulate me on my birthday. Crystal stood up and walked over to us.

C: "Hi Denise, hi Mark how are you"

D: "we are great honey, you?"
