Memories of the Loved (A Prodigy Story)

Cold Treat Memories

Craig

The encounter I had with..her was unpredictable. You're probably thinking. 

'The douche who cheated on Hazel.' 

'Man whore.' 

'Dont even deserve her.'

Well shush and let me set this thing straight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She traces her fingers around my sculptured torso again after telling me we made 'sweet love.' "Ha. I think you got the wrong guy love." "Trust me Craig you were drunk and you were craving me.." she trailed on slowly turning her voice into a whisper. She pushed me onto the bed and puts her hands both sides of my head. I grab her waist to control her. "Trying to tame me are we?" she asked flipping her hair. This was not the girl I knew before. At all. Her face was so close to mine that our noses were touching. She paused for a moment and stood up. "In fact you just enjoy the view." "Ha. No thanks." I said getting up but she pushed me down again. I'm sober but right now lazy. I ain't getting up. Her hands were on the tied part of her white towel while she unraveled it. "Stop. You're embarrassing yourself." she ignored my comment about to drop her towel whilst I closed my eye shut.

The door busted open showing my work friends I hung with at the club. "Mr Crippen. You just got pranked!" One of them smirked while fixing his tie. "Dude you just joined the club and we needed to prank someone." another one smiled. I turned my head towards her "Come on. Do you think I would seriously do that to you?" she questioned "We best buddss!" she smiled while playfully punching my arm. "So who took off my clothes?" I asked. "Dude you were drunk we didn't do anything. You were practically stripping in the club." I sat there still just thinking. "So if my wife found out I would simply tell her its a joke. I will say my friends played a joke on me. A naked woman is just my friend and was in on it too?!" I asked. "Well obviously." The first one said bluntly. "Ha. I know I am just really slow." I said doing a side smirk while nodding.

So in this moment of time, I have to take a 'break' for 'a while' from my new job for 'assaulting a member of staff.' It was worth it...if Hazel left for that. I don't know what I would do. Call me whipped but I'm just a happily married man.

Hazel

An hour passed and I'm completely fine. I am normal. I'm great. My husband may be cheating on me and I don't give-. That's what I've been telling myself all day but I have just been feeding myself stupid lies. I dialled the number of the voice I was dying to hear. The dials seemed to become much longer and I felt like giving up when I heard the deep, loving voice. "Hey beautiful!" I blushed instantly but I was still hurt. "Stop feeding me that bull Craig!" I told him. I heard him sigh "Babe what are you talking about?" his voice seemed husky and deep. "The women! The women you have been seeing Craig!" I whispered while salty tears stung my eyes. With one hand holding my phone I brushed the tears away with my top's sleeves. "What's so special about them that I don't have?" I questioned. "Hazel you will find out tomorrow in court." he said calmly. Wow time went quick. "What is so damn special that is happening in court!" I whisper-shouted. "Calm down and just be patient." he stated calmly. "How would I know I you really love me? I have been seeing pictures. Not been hearing your voice. Having you presence." I said while he paused. "Are you going to tell me?" I asked the phone cut off and I sighed. The garbage needed to be taken out so I opened the front door. "Why don't I show you?" Craig was standing on my front porch with a bunch of roses. I was already in his arms with his arms wrapped me and my legs wrapped around him. Our lips crashed into each other and I smiled during the kiss.

"Nice outfit" he laughed while looking at me. I giggled hiding myself in the crook of his neck. "Close your eyes." he told me. "I can't go out like this!" I said. "Already got you sorted." he smiled whilst bringing a outfit behind his back. A leather skirt with the tips having a straight thick of white complementing a sleeveless see-through cream top with a patterned collar and a line of patterned buttons down the top. I smiled he really knew me. Well I bugged him when it came to outfits so he didn't have a choice. I felt a velvet fabric cover my eyes after I finished getting ready.

When we finally reached our destination I got never-ending butterflies which kept blowing up in my stomach. The place we went before our first kiss. We sat on the seats while I smiled gazing at the black and white tiled floor. Craig grabbed one of my hands and held it with two of his while looking in my eyes and then lightly kissing my hand. I blushed and looked at the pink island. "I knew you guys will get together. See my instincts!" the waitress who served us 8 years ago, tapping the side of her head. "I'm tied down too!" she smiled at me while showing me her ring. "What will you to like to order?" she questioned us with her voice filled with cheer. Craig furrowed his eyebrows and paused for a moment. "One vanilla ice-cream with chocolate sprinkles and one strawberry cheesecake both served in a cone." he told 'Katie' while cheesing. She nodded her head and skipped off. "You remembered?" I was clearly touched. "How could I forget the day you took my breath away. For me to finally know that I had a chance for you to be mine. That your heart beated the same as me with our feelings".

A tear rolled down my cheek while he cupped my face like I was delicately fragile, brushing our lips together. He slowly lifted me on his lap without breaking the kiss. The kiss seemed to last a hour though it was merely five with our ice-creams slowly melting in Katie's hands. We took it from her hands while saying thank you. "It wasn't the best idea to dress you in this but I'm enjoying the view." I just carried on eating my ice-cream. I turned to him "Your lips are completely red with my lipstick." I pointed out. "You in red..." he didn't even finish his sentence because I know what it does to him. "Just for you." I said shyly yet cute placing my hand on his chest. I buried my head in his chest while he moved his hands across my back. "I love you Mrs Hazel Crippen" he told me. "Mh hmm mhh hmm." I repeated. "Huh?" he said while furrowing his eyebrows with his arms held tightly on my waist. I laughed at his facial expressions. "I love you too Craig Crippen. I love you too."
