Without you♥️ (a roc royal love story)

Chapter 4

*Crystals POV*
So .. I can't believe I'm saying this but Roc looks even better than before. As I look at him across this table at chic-fa-la, I want to maybe feel his touch. I shouldn't even be here.

Roc: (snaps fingers) hey Crys, you okay ? You keep kind of zoning out or are you zoning in to me? (Laughs and smirks)
Crystal: No I'm fine (laughs nervously). I just been thinking about how my niece is doing at my brother's house.
Roc: Well you know Jacob my boy and when he loves something he protects it with all his heart. Just like he does with you , so I know jasmine is in good hands.

Crystal POV *
Trevor protects what he loves with all his heart.. maybe I should just get out of her.

Crystal: You know what Roc, tonight was fun but I think I should get back home. I have to clean up and I have to get up early tomorrow. (Starts to get up from table and collect her items)
Roc: (grabs crystal arm) no wait , can it please wait. I haven't talked to you in months and I was not expecting to see you yesterday. Just give it a chance. You wouldn't of texted me if you didn't miss me..

Crystal POV*
Wow it's sad... the truth is that I'm here to be petty to Trevor but I can't tell him that. I remember the last time I tried to move on. I'll just play it cool for the night

Crystal: You're right I guess. I'll sit back down but I do have to get up early tomorrow.
Roc: See that's the crystal I know. The one that stole my heart. You want a drink maybe ? Ciroc you're favorite (laughs) Ci-Roc, remember when we used to get drunk and laugh and laugh about that ?
Crystal: (stuttering) I-I do . Yes I'll have a drink (fake smiles

*Both leave and meet up at a bar 3 blocks down*

Roc:(smiles) 4 shots of Ciroc please
Crystal: (takes her 2 shots back to back) can I have some juice please (coughing)
Roc: (takes his 2 shots) I don't need juice , I am the juice
Crystal: (laughs) I didn't think tonight would go good
Roc: why not ? (Chuckles) I just really wanted to talk , I'm not hear to hurt you (strokes her face)
Crystal: (nervous look) I don't know .. you hurt me before and
Roc: (puts his finger to her lips and cuts her off) shhh.. that was the old me before getting clean me before realizing what I lost

Crystal POV*
How am I going to tell him about Trevor or worse Trevor about him🤦🏾‍♀️

Crystal: *4 shots later* I have to get homeee
Roc: ok ok (laughs) I'll make sure you get there safe
Crystal: *Quickly starts to sober* No , No that's okay . I can get home
Roc: Are you sure ? I don't mind and it's not too far from my house
Crystal: Wait .. Huh ? How do you know where I live ?
Roc: (laughs nervously) calm down , calm down. I don't know where you live but my house is in the middle of the city and it doesn't really take long to get anywhere from my house
Crystal: (laughs) ohh okay . No I'm fine but I will text you later
Roc: Be safe getting home

Crystal arrives home*
Crystal POV*
What the fuck ? A pillow and blanket on the couch ?? I know we're mad at each other but I pay bills here too.
Crystal: Trevor !! Trevor !! (About to walk upstairs)
Dining room light turns on*
Trevor: I'm right here. I've been waiting on you, it's 1:30 am ! What the hell is wrong with you ? We have to get my parents from the airport at 8 am and you want your first time meeting them to be like this?
Crystal: Trevor .. I'm sorry. I-I didn't know that it would bother you that I stepped out and
Trevor: (Cuts her off) Is that liquor on your breath?
Crystal:No..
Trevor: So you will really lie to me ? I thought you said you stopped drinking a year ago?!
Crystal: I did.. (starts to tear up)
Trevor: Don't start that cry baby shit. I don't even know you anymore.
Crystal: Trevor I..
Trevor:( cuts her off again) Did you go to the airport yesterday ?
Crystal: Huh ? Yeah I went with Jacob
Trevor: Did you really go to the air port yesterday? (Death stares)
Crystal: Yes I promise I did. So I'm a liar now?
Trevor:(starts to walk upstairs) goodnight
Crystal: Trevor come back !
Trevor: I said goodnight ! (Slams bathroom door)

Crystal POV*
I feel like my life is just falling apart. Now I'm getting a text message🤦🏾‍♀️ Roc: Are you home safe?
I don't even think I should reply.
Crystal: Yes I'm in fine

Crystal : *walks upstairs, gets nude and gets in the bed*
Trevor: *slams bathroom door and gets in bed with his back turned to crystal*
Crystal: *reaches her arm over Trevor and snuggles in*
Trevor: *Moves over
