Chapter 2: Blunts for Blunt emotions

Krystal had been sitting at the park for nearly 30 minutes, it was cold as leaves fell and the wind rustled beyond the trees, it was peaceful. Only, too peaceful for her liking. The bench was chilly to the touch, and Krystal had only brought 2 sweaters. She had been expecting Alex that day. Only, there was no Alex. But maybe it was her fault for showing up late, possibly missing him.

She sighed as she glanced around every so often, hoping he'd scare her and hug her from behind. But that was only a wish, not reality. Minutes had gone by, almost an hour. Still, no Alex. Where was he? Was she stood up..? No. Impossible.. but a certain thoughts crossed her mind. You see, 2 days after the beach date, Krystal had been working late on a shift, and had recieved a call from Alex, and after being stressed and over worked, her heart jumped in excitement as she answered his call.

“Hey you!” He said, sounding cheerful. In a sense, she could tell he had gone home drunk. “Hey, what's up? You sound a little raspy, you alright?” “Yea, yeah. I'm on the floor. How was your day?” Krystal just laughed, it wasn't so surprising to her. “Tiring. I'm just getting off my work shift and heading home, you?” She explained, shoving her uniform in her purse, it could barely fit, but she didn't mind.

“I hung out with some friends today while you were on your lunch break with Karen and Amara.”  Krystal's face seemed to drop, but he couldn't see that, so she kept her voice optimistic. “Yeah, I'm sorry about that.” She said. He cleared his throat, sounds of him shuffling to his side went through the phone. “Listen, so. I spent the day with Aria.” Krystal's...ex.. girlfriend. Yep,  what a bi-con, only. It wasn't such a great relationship.

“Oh. What did you guys do?” She said, walking out the front door, adjusting the phone to her shoulder. She had some envy deep down, knowing Aria was quite the person. “I might like Aria.” He said plainly. She just stopped, hanging up the phone as she got on the bus. She felt tears build up in her eyes, but she ignored them. Simply clearing her throat and staring at the window. What she had heard haunted her the entire day, and stayed on her mind everytime she faced Alex.

After a while, Krystal had the guy feeling, and it was right. Her phone had started ringing moments after, with Aria as the caller, picking up the phone, she sternly said Alex's name, and as she assumed, he was there. Her heart pumped with relief, but in rage as well. She just shook her head and replied with “I'll be there in 5 minutes, hanging up."

Her pace had quickened, as she approached the Convince store, outraged, but kept a calm face. “Hey you two.” Krystal chimed, keeping her voice normal, but glaring at Alex every so often. “Sorry, I'm just waiting on someone, I saw Alex and asked if he'd like to stay.” Aria explained. Keeping it cool, Krystal nodded and replied with

“Oh. Okay.” accepting the fact he forgot their meetup. “Listen, Aria I need to talk to Alex, you don't mind?” She asked kindly. She didn't hate Aria, the ended off on good terms, but it still hurt that their relationship wasn't compatible. Aria gave a small nod of approval, with that, Krystal grabbed Alex's arm, and brought him outside, greeting him with crossed arms and an angry vibe. “Why? Did you just? Oh I don't know, forget?”

She started. Alex frowned, pity filled his heart, looking into her eyes he nodded. “Im sorry, I lost track of time, but-” As she started to grimance. “Stay. Please? Let's just take a walk down to my place, and talk.” He finished. As tempting as it was, Krystal looked at him in disappointment. “Please..” He begged, holding her hands in his, she wanted to pull away, but couldn't bring herself to. “Okay.."

She said, being the passive person she was, she knew deep down she shouldn't have, but even deeper down, she knew she had to give it a chance, not hold grudges.

He smiled, grateful that she agreed and started walking alongside her. “Look I'm..sorry about 2 days ago. And I don't know what to do or feel.” Krystal shook her head. “Its fine okay. I understand..and it's no place for me to say, I've had that happen before..”

Alex turned to her and raised a brow. “Its not okay, and I feel shitty for doing that..” Krystal looked at him and clicked her tongue. “No. I know. But what..? What am I, your 'Part time job now?'” she said, crossing her arms. He stopped and turned, grabbing her shoulders. “No. Don't say that, that's not true.” He protested. “Thats what it seems like..” She muttered, avoiding his gaze.

His house had been a block away, after walking the distance, they stopped and sat down. She pulled out a splif and lit it, blowing out the smoke softly into the air, glancing hard at the sky, avoiding eye contact. “Im sorry. I'm just jealous and sensitive, and when I heard you two hanging out I wanted to slap you honestly..” She said, shrugging.  He nodded.

“Then hit me.” She stared at him, in disbelief. “No..” Krystal protested, ashing the last of her blunt. Alex held her hand and looked into her eyes. “I love you.. and I'm sorry, I promise I won't leave you for her. Besides, you care.” All she could do was take his word for it, and smile slightly at him, flustered a little.

She leaned inward, maybe it was the high, or the head rush from the smoke, but all she wanted to do was kiss him, forgive him and forget. Before she knew it, she was wrapped around his body, moving her hands through his soft bleached hair, she felt her heart pumping quickly, she really loved him.. a lot. She couldn't stay mad at him.

Krystal's hair every so often fell into her face, she pulled away for a moment and fixed her short chestnut tintedhair. Her green eyes staring into his brown ones. She found them really pretty, for no reason, they just made her heart do loops. “What?” Alex chuckled, she had totally zoned out. “Oh, nothing. I was just just fixing my hair.” She giggled. “It's fineeeee.”

Alex laughed along. “Oh shut up.”

Krystal teased. He raised a brow and placed his head to hers. “No, you.”

She smirked and took a bold move and said “Make me.”

Alex had gotten closer to her, looking at her lips. “Bet.” He said in a monotone voice. “Bet.”

She replied. Both of them felt a warm spark in their chests and locked lips once more, this time Krystal felt more curious, exploring her hands a bit more, and leaning him down onto the wood floor they had been sitting on.

She never acted as a top before, so this was a little more crazy for her own likings, but she had got the hang of it soon, and stopped to look at him. He moved her hair out of her face, she could feel his heart racing in unison with her own.

“Im gonna lose it.” He said jokingly.  And by that he meant his control with her- Krystal just giggled, she kinda liked teasing him. “Good.” She shrugged, laying on her side as he did too.

They just took a moment to look at eachother and smile, everything had seemed to stop, time, movement, the universe. Everything but their hearts beating together. All her stress and fears disappeared, especially with him.
