Come Back to Reality

Chapter 15:

Crystal's POV

Chris came back with my future Momma -In-law. She's beautiful.

He came up to me and kissed me. Fast, but deeply.

"Hey, Crystal. This is my momma Joyce."

"Boy, shut up. I can talk," she said jokingly. "Hey, Crystal. Call me Momma"

"Hey, Momma," I said giving her a hug.

"You look sad. Have you been crying?"

"Ummm, yeah. I was watching 'Prayers for Bobby' and I cry every time I watch it."

Chris looked at me, knowing that I was lying.

He came up behind me, hugging me with him arms around my waist.

When he started kissing my neck, it took everything in me not to breakdown.

"Hey, Momma. I gotta talk to Maurice about something."

"Are you two engaged?"

"Not yet,"Chris said, pulling me tighter to him.

"I wanna be here when you propose, OK?"

"OK, Momma," we both replied.

"INDIA!" I yelled, trying to hurry up and talk to Chris.

"HUH?!"

"COME HERE!"

India came downstairs. "Hey, Ms. Joyce!" She said, running to Momma to hug her. That's when Chris put his hand with mines and led me to our room.

Chris's POV

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her like this broke me down, but seeing what's next nearly killed me.

She broke down crying.

I held her. "Babe, what's wrong?"

"Robyn. And you. Maybe we were a mistake. This whole relationship was a fucking lie."

"What? Whatchu talking about?"

She looked up at me. "Do you still have feelings for her?"

I didn't wanna lie so I stayed silent.

She tried to get out of my grip, but I wouldn't let go.

"Chris. Please, stop. Let me go."

"I can't stop and I won't. You told me to live my dream. After all these years, I found out my true dream. Being Happy. Being happy with you. Crys, I love you. Yeah I fuck up and do stupid shit a lot, but it's better to do it now than later. Later when we're married with kids. I don't know what you're talking about with Robyn, but tell me and I'll fix the problem."

I kissed her gently. Passionately.

We laid down on the bed, saying nothing.

The last words she said was,"I love you, too," before she fell asleep.

*******

I was determined to cut off all ties with that trick. I unfollowed her on Twitter & Instagram, unliking every picture. I deleted her number from my phone.I went to the store to get balloons, a card, chocolate, a locket with a picture of us in it, a pair of gold rings engraved Crys loves Chris and Chris loves Crys on it, and Teddy Bears for Crystal.

When I got back home, Momma and India was gone, but Tyga and King was there. Chyna got another place to stay.

I played with King. I couldn't wait until I get a kid of my own. Maybe I should hide Crystal's pills.

******

When Crystal woke up, I took her out to eat w/ King.

When she got in the car, she saw her presents. She was surprised.

"Thanks, Chris." She kissed my cheek and buckled King up in his car seat.

"Did you take your pill?"

"Everyday."

"When do you wanna have kids?"

"What?"

"I want kids."

"Maybe when I get out of school and married."

"You still got hella more years, though."

"Well, I guess I'm waiting hella more years, then. My graduation is coming up, by the way. 2 months."

We were at the restaurant by then.

I reached in my pocket to get the locket and rings.

"Crystal, I love you. I'm sorry for all the stupid shit I put you through."

Her smile was wide as fuck.

I put the necklace on her and the ring on her left hand. Her 'marrying finger'.

"Is this a proposal?"

I laughed. "Don't take this the wrong way, but hell no. It's a promise ring. I promise to try to be the perfect soul mate for you. I promise I won't ever try to hurt you. I promise the same shit a wedding ring promises. I promise to be there for you. I promise to put you over everything & everybody else. I promise to keep my promises."

"I promise the same fucking shit," she said, happier than a damn rainbow.

We got out, ate, took King to the park, and went back home.

We had to start packing because we're leaving for Detroit early the day after tomorrow. We only had tomorrow to spend with Momma before we parted our separate ways.

Crys didn't wanna fuck because of King and my momma was in the house, but I'm so muthafucking horny...I should've took her offer from last night, but I didn't want fresh hickies and sore legs to be my Momma's first impression of Crys.
