"Crystal?"

Crystal's head snapped up at the mention of her name, and left her wondering how she didn't get a whiplash by it.

She tried to act nonchalant and play it cool.

"Hey Skye!" she said in a high pitched tone.

Mental face palm.

"Why didn't you tell me it was you?"

Crystal thought for a few second and finally came up with, "I don't know?"

It sounded more like a question than a statement.

"Do you wanna have a pizza?"

And that ladies and gentlemen is how you embarrass yourself in front of a boy you like.

Skye just stared at her in amusement.

"My shift ends in five, if you can wait till then?"

"Sure, yeah"

And as Skye disappeared behind the 'Employees Only' section, Crystal buried her head in her hands and little a teeny, weeny squeal.

And then it hit her like a truck.

She had no idea about what she was going to do next.

••••

Skye said her name again, because she hadn't responded the first time. And honestly, he was starting to fear that it was not Crystal.

But then,

"Hey Skye!"

Skye finally let the stress in his muscles go lose.

He mentally pat himself on the back for not embarrassing himself in front of the girl he liked and to whom he had stupidly confessed it without any warning whatsoever.

That earned an eye roll from his brain.

He then proceeded to say, "Why didn't you tell me it was you?"

He pat himself on the back yet again, for succeeding in looking cool and calm.

Skye's eyes roamed Crystal's face as she framed an answer.

Her green eyes with the specks of hazel, her black hair pulled up in a ponytail and a little of lip gloss on her lips, the lips which she was currently chewing on.

And that ladies and gentlemen, was the exact moment when Skye realised he was Whipped.

With a capital W.

Crystal after a few seconds with a, "I don't know?"

Even though Skye looked like the epitome of calm and collected from the outside, there was a raging storm inside him. It was just so that he was amused by the situation he was in. The girl he likes so much, sits right in front of him, yet he finds it difficult to say 'I like you a lot' but saying it on the phone was really simple.

Another eye roll by the brain.

"Do you wanna have a pizza?"

"My shift ends in five, if you can wait till then?"

"Yeah, sure"

And it was only after he disappeared in the 'Employees Only' section, that he allowed himself to breathe.

And then it hit him like a truck.

He had no idea about what he was going to do next.

••••

Ten minutes later, Skye stepped out of the 'Employees Only' section once again, but this time he was clad in a black hoodie and jeans, which of course made Crystal stop breathing and eating the pizza slice she had in her hand.

"You know what, take a picture, it'll last longer," Skye said with a smirk.

"As if," she replied while rolling her eyes. Although the hormones in her body said otherwise.

"Sorry about finishing the pizza, I was hungry and the sight and smell of it wasn't really helping," Crystal said with an apologetic expression.

"It's okay. I was up for ice-cream anyway," Skye replied.
"Let's go,"

••••

Crystal was feeling that she was twelve years old again, going on her first date.

Whenever their hands, shoulders or legs brushed, she blushed. Hard.

And then she thought, "to hell with it, I'm going to grab his hand"

So, she did. She entwined her hand with his and she could feel her entire body heat up even though the wind was merciless and she was sniffling.

But it was okay. She was with Skye and that was all that mattered.

••••

Skye was wondering about the fact that one phone call could lead to this, him possibly finding his soul mate.

It was then that he felt something entwine in his hand. Or rather someone.

He looked down at his hand that was entwined with Crystal's hand and smiled. He then looked at Crystal, and saw that she was blushing so hard.

"You know you look like a tomato," he mused.

And if it was possible, she turned an even darker shade of red.

Skye laughed. The kind of laugh that comes from the belly, which makes your eyes crinkle at the edges, and you have such a huge grin that you feel that your face will split into two laugh.

He looked at Crystal and he knew that she was trying to suppress the smile that was threating to break out, and so he tickled her, and she came apart at the seams.

Both of them laughed till their cheeks and tummies hurt.

And even though Skye was shivering from the cold, it was okay.

Because he was with Crystal, and that was all that mattered.
