Crystal Hearts

Chapter 13. The confession

Later that evening, Ashter and Crystal arrived at his house. The atmosphere between them was tender, yet filled with unspoken emotions.

As they entered the house, Crystal turned to Ashter with a worried expression. "Do you have Lily's number? I just want to make sure she's alright."

Ashter's gaze softened as he looked at her. "She'll be fine. But right now, what matters is that you're here with me."

He pulled her close, capturing her lips in a tender kiss. The kiss was gentle, full of unspoken promises and affection. Ashter lifted her effortlessly into his arms, as if she were as light as a feather, and carried her to the bedroom.

He set her down gently on the bed and gazed at her with a mixture of love and longing. "You know how much I've waited for this moment," he said softly. "Now that you're here, I crave you even more."

He began kissing her neck, his hands traveling slowly down her thighs. His touch was both passionate and comforting, a careful balance of urgency and tenderness. He was determined to make her feel cherished and loved, as he moved with a rhythmic grace.

"I love you, Crystal," he murmured against her skin.

Crystal closed her eyes, her cheeks flushing with a deep embarrassment. Ashter's hands and lips made her feel a mix of desire and shyness. "Open your eyes, love," he whispered. "Capture this moment."

Reluctantly, Crystal opened her eyes, biting her lower lip to stifle a moan. Ashter's demands grew more insistent, pushing her to let go of her shyness.

The following morning, Ashter woke up to find Crystal nestled on his chest. He smiled at the peaceful sight, feeling a surge of warmth and contentment.

"Good morning, love," he said softly, running his fingers through her hair.

"Good morning, sir," Crystal replied, her voice still sleepy but affectionate.

Ashter chuckled softly. "Now that I think about it, you always call me 'sir'. Why not call me Ashter?"

" Ashter Or maybe I call you Easter Bunny?" she teased, a playful glint in her eyes.

"Easter Bunny?" Ashter laughed. "That's a first."

"I love you, Ashter," Crystal said, her voice filled with genuine affection.

He took a deep breath, pressing his lips to her forehead in a tender kiss.

"You have no idea what your confessions have done to me. I might want to hold you in my arms forever."

Crystal's eyes sparkled with joy.
Ashter asked further"Do you want to go on a date, love?"

Her excitement was over the moon, and Ashter couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, let's go shopping, to the movies, to a restaurant-let's do everything couples do on a date." She said being excited.

"Are you really excited?" he asked, patting her head affectionately.

She nodded innocently, and was about to get up from the bed, but Ashter gently pulled her back into his embrace. "Don't go just yet. Let's stay like this for five more minutes, love."

As he held her close, he sighed contentedly. "Crystal, you know what?" he tightened his grip playfully. "I think I have OLD."

"OLD?" Crystal asked, puzzled.
"Obsessive Love Disorder," Ashter said with a grin.

Crystal giggled, her laughter filling the room with a light, joyful sound. Ashter joined in, his chuckles blending with hers.

"That's the most weird and cliché line I've ever heard," she said, blushing a deep scarlet.

He couldn't help but feel a little proud of him for diverting her mind from last night and now seeing her being happy again he feels content.

They shared a moment of laughter and tenderness, their bond growing stronger with each passing second.
