Crystal caught up to Ranger and spun him around. He was in an office that was filled with men who were pretending not to pay attention. "Fine you want to know the truth? Take me somewhere private and I'll tell you." She put her hands on her hips and scowled at his satisfied smile.
Ranger closed his phone without saying goodbye and with his head he motioned the office at the end of the room. He opened the door and waited for Crystal to go in. Ranger stepped around the desk and sat down. He leaned forward and waited for Crystal to tell him what she was really up too.
She sighed as he stared at her. She rolled her eyes again. "I'll start at the beginning." She took a deep breath.
"I have been a little wild for the past eight years. I have been on Girls Gone Wild, I have been a podium girl for boxing, I have been in Hustler and I have been in a Playboy calendar." She ignored the look he was giving her. "Hef has wanted me to be in the magazine for months now and he invited me to a private party at his suite at the Palms and he is gonna give me the money for my catering company. He is also going to advertise it in the magazine and promote it for me. This is a big opportunity for me. I want to earn the money instead of having it handed to me." She looked up at him with a defiant look in her eyes.
Ranger couldn't help feel the disapointment in his chest. He knew she had a wild streek, but damn why did she have to sell herself to get the money. He turned his gaze away from her, "If you feel this the only way to go about making money. Don't let me stop you."
She knew that he was disappointed but she enjoyed the work. She got up and went to sit on his lap.
"I know that you don't approve Carlos, but I really enjoy doing this. It is exhilarating. Besides. I'm gonna stay dressed in the magazine and just take over Lindsay's Playmate Mixologist role for a week for the web. I wear a Playboy tee shirt and show people how to mix drinks." She kissed his forehead. "I don't however want you to be disappointed in me. If you don't want me to do it, then say so now and I'll tell him no. I'll just get the money from Bubby and you and pay you back." She looked him in the eyes and waited for his response.
Ranger rested his head against Crystal's head and closed his eyes. "You may like what you do. But I think you're better than this, and worth more. If you want to be serious about catering, then please Crystal don't do this. Because you will always be labled, especially here." Ranger touched her cheek and kissed her gently, "Please let me loan you the money?"
Crystal was a little disappointed, but she covered it well. "Fine Carlos. I'll take the money from you now, but I will pay you back." She gave him a fierce hug and kissed his cheek. There was a knock at the door and before anyone could say a word Lester came through the door grinning like a fool.
Lester stopped dead in his tracks, he was happy and he was going to tell Crystal he wanted to marry her, now. But when the scene in front of him sunk in, he felt almost nervous. "Crys, I..." He started but looked at Ranger. Ranger quirked up his eyebrow and nodded for him to continue. Lester cleared his throat and moved around the desk to Crystal sitting on Ranger's lap. He reached out to take her hands and she responded reaching out to his hands. He pulled her to standing and he kneeled down in front of her looking up into her gorgeous eyes. "This isn't how I imagined it, but Crystal, I have loved you for so long. You are the only girl I ever really loved. Marry me Crys, Marry me. I want this more than anything. I want to be with you forever, I never want to lose you again, never again. I love you. Be my wife."
Crystal was speechless. Tears sprang to her eyes. "Yes. Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes! I love you too!" Lester jumped up and pulled her to him. He swung her around the office as he kissed her.
Ranger sat back and watched Lester and Crystal in amusement. "Should I call Ella for real this time and set something up?"
"Sure. Can you call Burgundy too? I want to spend some quality time with another girl." She smiled and leaned into Lester's ear. "We will celebrate personally tonight."
Openly grinning now, Ranger took out his phone and dialed his daughter.
Burgundy answered her cell. "Sup?", she said into the phone.
"How would you like to reschedule our trip to Disney World and get ready for Crystal and Lester's wedding."
Burgundy spit out the juice that she'd had in her mouth. "What?!"
Ranger chuckled over his daughter's obvious surprise then het got a wicked grin on his face. "Why don't I let Crystal explain it all to you." Ranger handed his cell phone to Crystal, tried not to laugh to hard.
"Hey!! So. I just moved to Trenton like a week and a half ago. I looked up Lester and we finally got hooked up. He just proposed and do you want to go to the mall to talk about this?" She said in one breath.
Burgundy laughed at the speediness of the sentence. "Yeah! That sounds great!"
"So do I get to meet you somewhere or do I pick you up or do we have to be escorted?" Crystal raised an eyebrow at Ranger as she said it.
"Tell her to have Hal bring her here." Ranger told Crystal. Hal was still on Ranger's shit list and he still had "Babysitting" duty on Burgundy.
"Did you hear that? You are supposed to have Hal bring you here. Then the two of us are gonna hit the town. We have a ton of catching up to do." Crystal smiled into the phone. "See you in a few!"
"Hey Crystal? Tell Papi that he's at RangeMan and can tell Hal himself.", Burgundy said.
"Ranger. If you are here and Hal is here why don't you tell him yourself?" She raised an eyebrow and Ranger sighed.
"Hal is here," Ranger said with a little edge to his voice. Crystal and Lester exchanged a worried look. With his jaw tight he left the office looking for the man who should be keeping an eye on his daughter.
"So. That was fun. I'm pretty sure that someone will be bringing you here shortly. Until then I am gonna be up in Lester's apartment taking a nap. Ok?" Crystal winked at Lester.
"Yeah. Sure. Nap.", Burgundy giggled, "See you later!"
Lester wrapped his arms around Crystal and pulled her to him. He kissed her full on the lips. He broke the kiss, " A nap, baby?"
"Yeah. I have a full day of shopping ahead of me. Catching up with Burgundy is gonna take a lot of energy. Why? Did you have something else in mind?" She asked with an innocent smile and a devilish glint in her eyes.
"Well..." Lester started placing soft kisses along her neck, "I have something I want to give you." he kissed along the other side of her neck, "I think once I give it to you," he kissed her lips, "napping will be the last thing on your mind."
Crystal sighed as she melted into him. "Really? Is that something long and Puerto Rican?" She giggled as he lifted her to carry her to the elevator.
Lester laughed, "No, Princess, it's small and shiny." He kissed her, "But I think there is some Spicy Puerto Rican Sausage up there, too." The elevator door closed as they went to the fourth floor.
She giggled as he held her and reveled in the feeling of being engaged. She loved this man with all her heart and he was actually going to be hers. She closed her eyes and snuggled into his warmth as he carried her from the elevator and set her down in front of his apartment door.
Lester opened the door and guided her in, "I apologize for the mess. I've been a little pre-occupied the past few days." He walked her over to the couch and she sat down. He bent over and placed a soft kiss on her lips, "Don't move.", he instructed and headed to his bedroom. In a small wooden box in the top drawer of his dresser was the ring he wanted to give her, his mother's ring. He pulled it out and polished it up with the edge of his shirt. After his parent's died, he kept their jewlery, but sold everything else. He also intended on wearing his father's ring when they got married. He walked back out to the couch and kneeled in front of Crystal. He took her left hand, "This was my mother's, now it is yours.", he said as he slipped it on her ring finger.
Tears came to her eyes as she studied the ring on her finger. "I never in a million years thought that I would actually be marrying you. I never thought it was possible. I loved you so much. I didn't think that I would ever be as happy as the day that you told me you loved me too. Until today. So much has happened this week." She smiled. Then she frowned and looked at him very seriously. "You aren't just doing this because you think this is what I want are you?"
Lester reached up and wiped her tears away, "No, I want this. I lost you once, I'm not letting you get away again." he looked into her eyes as he spoke, hoping she could see the love and devotion for her in his eyes. He moved from the floor in front of the couch slowly covering her body. His lips met hers and the kiss they engaged in spoke volumes. The love the passion they had for one another. Soon their hands were roaming each others bodies and clothes were being shed. The heat he felt when flesh met flesh drove him wild. They made love on the couch and fell asleep wrapped in each others arms.
Burgundy had just been dropped off by Hal. Crystal had said she would be in Lester's apartment so Burgundy took the elevator to the correct floor, got off and knocked on the door to Lester's apartment.
Crystal woke with a start at the knock. In the hustle she fell off the couch and cursed. She grabbed Lester's shirt and threw it on. "Um...Who is it?" Crystal called out as she tried to pull on her sweats.
Burgundy giggled. "It's me."
"Shit." Crystal said under her breath. She turned to look at Lester who was lazily pulling on his pants. "Go get some clothes on while I let her in."
Crystal went to the door and smiled as she opened it. She scooped Burgundy up into a big hug. "It has been so long since I have seen you. You have gotten so big! Come in. I have to um...change shirts." She siad as she grabbed her tank top from the table and put it behind her back.
Burgundy hugged her back and stood while she put her tank top on. "So...you and uncle Les?"
Lester walked out of the bedroom pulling on a black tank top, "Hey B" He said as he hugged her and kissed her forhead.
"Hey Uncle Les," Burgundy said, closing her eyes as he kissed her forehead, like she always did.
"So as to your question. Yes. Lester and I are engaged and you and I are going shopping to celebrate." Crystal grinned. "Now let me get my purse and the keys and you can direct me to the mall." Crystal got her things and gave Lester a kiss. "Bye hotstuff. I think that me, you and the guys all need to go out tonight to celebrate. I'll be here around fivish ok?"
Lester nodded, "Yeah, That sounds like a plan." He pulled his wallet from his pants and pulled out a credit card." Here, take this. Buy what ever you want, there's no limit. Have fun, baby." Lester placed the card in her hand and kissed her cheek.
Crystal looked at the card and then back to him. She didn't want to take it, but she didn't want to hurt his feelings either. He seemed kind of on edge lately. Instead she just tucked it into her pocket with no plans to use it.
"Thank you honey. I'll see you a little later." She turned to the door and she and Burgundy made their way to the elevator.
Once they were in the elevator, Burgundy asked, "So...which car do you want to take?"
"I only have one car. I thought that was what we would take. Is there another option?" Crystal asked confused.
Burgundy smiled a devilish smile before pulling four sets of keys out of her pocket.
"Wow. Where are those from? I know that you aren't old enough to drive. Wait. Are those your Dad's keys? I so cannot take one of his cars. He is pissed off at me enough." Crystal said anxiously.
"Oh he won't mind.", Burgundy said with a wave of her hand, "So, turbo, cayenne, mercedes, or big ass truck?"
Crystal thought about it for a minute and decided that her car didn't have enough room for all the shopping she planned on doing. She also figured that Ranger knew that and gave Burgundy the keys before she came upstairs. How else would she have them? "I love his truck and it'll have room for our purchases. How about that?"
"K.", she said with a smile as the elevator reached the parking garage. She stepped out and walked in the direction of the truck with Crystal following.
The girls hopped in the truck and Crystal immediately felt the power of being behind the wheel. She started it up and was getting ready to put it in gear when her cell rang.
