Crystal was in kitchen, making her father's favourite cupcakes. She tried to take her mind of yesterday. She was decorating the cupcakes when Jerome walked in.
"Looking cute, doll."
Crystal jumped as she heard him and dropped a cupcake. She looked up at him, wide eyed.
Jerome grinned and walked to her. She moved a step back and he freezes.
"No. Don't be scared."
Crystal nervously brushed a piece of hair behind her ear.
"Okay."
Jerome walked to her and hovered above her.
"I would never hurt you, doll. You are sometimes precious and special."
Crystal looked up at him and giggled nervously.
"Thank you."
He went to say something but Crystal looked at him with her green eyes and he was lost.
"Do you want to help me decorate the cupcakes?"
Jerome blinked and nodded.
"Uh... Sure."
Crystal showed him how to put icing on them and sprinkles and chocolate chips. Jerome looked at her as she put other cookies she made into oven while she put cupcakes into the fridge to cold.
Crystal took the milk out of fridge. Jerome looked confused at her and Crystal winked.
"It goes nice with cupcakes."
Jerome nodded. Crystal walked to cupboard and tried to reach for mugs but with her being 5' 3" it was hard.
She turned to Jerome.
"Can you reach for mugs?"
Jerome walked to her and put down a plate with nine mugs.
Crystal grinned up at tall boy.
"Thank you."
She felt Jerome's hand in her hair. He run his fingers through her strawberry blonde curls.
"I love your hair."
Crystal turned to him and run his fingers down her cheek.
"I love yours too."
The rest of the Maniax walked in and Crystal smiled.
"Please, take a seat. Cupcakes and cookies will be done in couple of minutes. Jerome? Wanna help me?"
Jerome nodded and the two brought cupcakes and cookies to everyone. Silver walked into room and her eyes stopped on Jerome.
"Hi."
Jerome didn't even glance at her. Crystal smiled at her.
"Silver, please sit down."
Silver never loved Crystal. She wasn't evil like her father and her aunt, she was good. Yet, Theo and Tabitha loved her more then Silver. They adored her.
Jerome sat next to Crystal and tried one of her cupcakes.
"It's amazing."
Crystal smiled at her father.
"They are dad's favourite. Aunt Tabitha, how are you liking the cookies?"
Tabitha smiled at her niece.
"They are amazing, Crystal. As always."
Jerome looked at the small smile on her face and felt a new emotion. He was amazed by her since he met her. He was in love. There was no doubt.
