Emily was not talking to me much either at the moment. 

I hope she isn't getting jealous that Nick is around me more than her right now. I wonder if I should tell Nick that Emily has a crush on him....hmmm I just might. We are all just chilling outside near a hotel we will be staying at. I called Nick over to me. I said to him, "I just wanted to let you know that Emily has a crush on you ... she has for a long time now ... I told her everything like the advice you gave me and like your wife and daughter." 

He just laughed a little, "It's alright for you to tell her....you two seem pretty close so I thought you would anyway. But I would talk to her about it ....thanks Nick." He winked at me as I just giggled. Aaron then came up to me while Nick started to talk to Emily....oh boy. Aaron said, "Crystal, while Nick was comforting you on the bench and we were all outside, Zak seemed jealous." So Aaron saw it too....I wonder if Nick saw it also. I didn't want to believe that Zak was actually jealous.

"Aaron I don't understand why he would be, I mean Nick is just being a good friend. He is just concerned about me like some people in my life are ... like Emily is a lot." "I understand that and I told Nick I'm glad he did comfort you ... he seems to take a care for you just like Zak and I are for you and Emily..." I smiled some, thinking that the Ghost Adventures Crew are starting to care about Em and I after we met this afternoon. "Aww someone seems to be smiling," Aaron then teased at me. 

I playfully hit him and said, "It's not funny Aaron!" We both just ended up laughing like a couple kids. He then tickled my side....in case you don't know, I am very ticklish. I started to laugh and he said, "Zak....Nick, Crystal is very ticklish!" I yelled, "Aaron, Nick, Zak ... no!" They all came over and started to tickle me. Emily just stood there, laughing her butt off. She didn't do anything or stop them. I was laughing so much that I forgot about that I was angry at Zak. Nick and Aaron stopped as Zak and I fell on the floor.

I was on the bottom and Zak was on top of me. His arms were beside both of my sides as he then went and lay on the ground beside me. We both looked at each other and started to laugh. We laughed for about a minute and then we both stopped and looked at each other again. I then remembered that I was angry at him so I turned my head away and got up. Emily and I worn out from our long day, went inside the hotel to our room; leaving the guys outside. Of course we did tell them we were going to chill in our room.

Em and I were changing into a tank top and sweat pants and she said, "Hey thanks for telling Nick that I have a crush on him because now we are beginning to talk to each other openly." She looked at me and smiled. I smiled back and said, "No problem Em." "Baby bear, Nick told me everything that is going on with you and Zak and what he said..." I opened my mouth about to speak but she continued saying, "But I know you think I will be really mad...I am mad a little but I'm okay. I just think there is a reason why he said that."

She grabbed my shoulders with her hands as we were looking eye to eye at each other. "Baby Bear as crazy as we are about these guys, we both know that Zak wouldn't say anything that rude about us ...especially if we are a couple of fans. I think you and Zak need to talk to each other about this and get things straight okay?" I just nodded my head and she walked me out of room. We both were fully changed and she said, "Now shoo....go on and get things straighten out with the two of you."

I looked at her and smiled. 

See this is one of the many. many reasons why I love this girl. You may think she will act a certain way but she tries to think there is always a reason behind something. She is caring and this is why I love her. Zak's room is right across the hall from Em and I. I knocked on his door...really nervous, wondering, and hoping this will all turn out okay.

~ Zak's POV ~

I was in my hotel room, about to put a shirt on when I heard a knock at my door. Ignoring my shirt, I put it down and opened the door. In the doorway stood Crystal ... I said, "Please come in Crystal." "Thanks," she said in a soft voice. I closed the door and we were now sitting on the bed. "Crystal I know why you are here..." She looked at me and nodded her head, wanting me to explain everything.

"I know you heard what I said and I'm so sorry I made you feel this way. See it has to deal with my ex girlfriend Ashley. When I broke up with her, she went kind of crazy with me. She started to act like we were still dating and when I tried to tell her to leave me alone, she would get really mad. She would call me all the time like sometimes when Nick, Aaron and I were in the middle of an interview for the show or something. She would also try to find me and follow me like a crazy person. So I decided to talk to her nicely and that way she will start to leave me alone. It has been working so far though. When she found out about you and Emily winning the first contest online, that's why I was on the phone earlier. As of my attitude earlier, I just had a lot on my mind and I really didn't wanna talk about our little thing today. I didn't mean anything that I said at all about you and Emily. I only said it so my crazy ex girlfriend will leave me alone more and stop bugging me..."

She took a minute to take all that in. I put my hand on top of hers and looked into her eyes, "Sweetie I know Emily can forgive me ... can you please forgive me? I'm really sorry." She whispered softly, "Don't worry Zak it's okay....I forgive you." We both then looked into each other eyes. I knew she wanted to kiss me and I wanted to kiss her too...maybe make out a little. But I can tell that she is exhausted from this long day...hell I am too.

She yawned and I walked her to the door. 

We both stood in the doorway as I pecked her on the lips and she did the same back. I said with a smile, "Goodnight Baby Bear." She smiled back at me and said, "Goodnight Zak." I waited till her and Emily's door was shut as I then shut mine. I got into bed and I suddenly started to smile. I traced my lips with my finger where Crystal kissed me. I am starting to feel...happy. Can I really be falling for her even though we just met? I don't know....I then just drifted off to sleep, dreaming of what my future might me like. 

If Crystal was happily in it with me.
