Crystal's POV
I moaned out,"Stop."
He kept going.
"Chris, really. Stop."
He still didn't take me serious because my voice was still in a delirious trance.
I slowly pushed his chest away and he looked at me lustfully.
I hopped off the counter and tried to go outside. It wasn't a good idea to storm off with a bikini on because he grabbed my waist and backed me up onto his front.
"Stay."
I miss him whispering sexually into my ear. It turns me on. I turned around and put my arms around his neck. I looked up into his eyes, then put my head on his chest.
Me: "Do you honestly love me?"
"Yeah. With everything I have."
"Then let me be. Leave me alone. I don't want to talk to you anymore."
I walked out regretting EVERYTHING I said.
I went to the pool and started swimming around with my daughter and niece.
***Chris's POV***
I know that she doesn't want to leave...and her tattoo is obvious as fuck! She's serious about that little girl...at least it wasn't Drake's name.
***Crystal's POV***
It's damn near 8 and I'm ready to go. I was about to tell Heather to take us home, but my phone started ringing. I looked over at Chris, covered the hickies that I noticed earlier, and went to an empty bedroom.
-FaceTime-
"Hey."
"I miss y'all."
"We miss you, too. I want you to come back."
My voice was cracking. His face on my phone's screen is like a dream come true.
"You're alright. Don't cry. I'm coming back."
"In 7 months, you are. You're ALWAYS busy. On AND off the road. This is the first time that we've talked in more than 24 hours."
"I'll visit you soon."
"But you'll have to leave AGAIN."
"You gotta keep your head up. Be there for Alliyah. Where is she?"
"In the living room with my niece Angela. We're at Trell and Heather's."
"Alright. I'll try to call you on my next free break. I'm still at a concert (There's a 4 hour time difference). I love you."
"So we're back together?"
"I don't know. I gotta go right now. Bye."
"I love you, too."
I wiped my tears and walked out.
"Heather. We're ready."
"Ok, but--"
"Mami! Ms. Heather said that we can spend the night. Can we?"
"I have to call Brooke and make sure it's okay for Angela."
"But Angela already called."
"I have to make sure."
I called and she said that it was ok. They were coming with Heather to drop me off and to get their clothes.
"Bye, Crystal."
I turned around while everyone else was outside.
I gave Chris a hug and kiss on the cheek.
"Bye."
I turned and walked out.
....
"So what's with you and Chris? I know I'm not the only one who saw the purple marks that MAGICALLY appeared on your neck."
She made sure that the girls weren't listening. All 3 of them got along.
"He's an ex and possibly my future baby daddy."
"Damn. Drake knows?"
"Truth is, we might not even be together anymore. Our relationship is complicated right now."
"Because he's always gone? I know how you feel."
"No. It's not that....well yeah, it is, but it's so much shit."
"The video?"
"No. But that doesn't help us at all."
"Oh. Ummm...are you Alliyah's mom?"
I turned around and saw my pretty girl laughing and being all bubbly and I started to smile.
"Not biologically. Her mom, Aubrey's sister, died of cancer. Her dad died in a motorcycle accident when her mom was pregnant."
"Damn...do she cry about them?"
"Not really. She barely remembers her mom."
"That's her name tatted on you?"
"I forgot all about that tattoo, but yeah. Alliyah Sade."
Alli: "Huh?"
"Nothing."
I'm TOO sleepy. l can't wait to fall down in that California King sized bed and stretch out. No clothes on..nothing on but skin and music.
