Weeks went by, and I came to like Crystal more, and more. I couldnt help it! It's like im being sucked in, and no mater how much i try to fight it; i fall even harder. Which scared me.
I never was one to show my heart on a silver platter, Nor was I wanting to see anyone Else's. I considered it a show of weakness. I never really acted strong; but I held on to that theory anyway. It was the one thing I was good at.
Even though loving Crystal seemed safe, I couldnt help but think of it as giving away my life raft while I were drowning. But Ive always been paranoid. Matt should know, Im always driving him insane. heh
Matt tells me, shes gonna think Im gay for not "doing" Her yet. (his words) He nearly died when I told him I havent even kissed her. Which ended with him whacking me and calling me a F***ing retard multiple times. When it all comes down to it; Im not sure if I could..."do" it with Her. Not that I dont want to! Im just afraid it'll be one of those "Gosh, I cant believe i ever dated that loser" But I dont know...I could even surprise my self maybe...maybe...
"And that my friend is how the cookie crumbles."
Crystal announced, while taking my last bit of land on "Monopoly"
"Wait! Its not over yet!" I said dramatically, when pulling out something from underneath my jacket that lay on the floor.
"Not until my secret stash has a say in this!" I smiled, while flashing a stack of secret money in front of her.
"No way thats cheating!" She giggled, snatching the play money from my hand, and sitting on it.
"No rule says I cant have a stash. So hand it over, before I get it myself." I warned with a laugh. My hand motioning for her to give it to me.
She smiled her unique devious smile. Crossed her arms, and got comfy sitting on my money, while sitting in Indian position.
"oh ho, thats it! Your going down sista!" I said with a laugh.
I leaned over the monopoly board hefting her head first over my shoulder while she giggled and playfully swatted at me. She now was upside down kicking her legs, and playfully hitting my back.
"Well, lookie here." I said with a smooth tone, as i leaned awkwardly to the side; to pick my money off the floor. Balancing the tiny figure on my shoulder.
"NOOOOO!" She squealed while laughing. Grabbing the money out of my hand. ( which i have no idea how she did. flexible little pockey stick)
"Never! You'll never beat me!" She breathlessly laughed. Holding the play money over her head victoriously.
I dropped her gently onto the big soft sofa, and we fought and tickled over the play money. Until we were both out of breath from laughing so much.
We laid on the floor gasping for breath, giggling every now and then.
I picked up one of the small white sofa pillows that fallen to the floor, and waved it over my head in defeat.
"White flag! I give up! I have fought bravely though" I said Britishly.
Crystal rolled her self on top of me; with her hands supporting her head and her elbows on my chest. She's so adorable, like a little school girl in her new dress and her hair in pigtails. heh heh
We stayed like that. While she bobbed up, and down as my chest slightly heaved in and out. I had my hands under my head as I watched her. So pretty.
I slightly leaned up with one arm, and placed my other hand softly on her cheek. I could feel myself slowly lean in towards her. My heart racing under my chest. On top where her hands lay now.
She smelled so good, I wonder if she tastes as sweet as she smells?
I closed my eyes absorbing everything. I could feel her warm breath close to my mouth now. My lips slightly parted to breath in her scent. Her soft plump lips graced against mine. As if given me permission to keep on.
I couldnt resist. I pushed my lips on to hers almost to forcefully. She tasted so sweet, I loved how her mouth connected with mine. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and had my hands around her tiny waist. Pulling her body closer to mine; I loved how she felt on me. Before our moment could deepen any more, we both heard the door slam.
Jerking our heads towards where the noise occurred. We both starred at Danielle with "deer in the head lights" look.
"Yah, your totally busted. After 3 times of slamming. I wondered how many more times Id have to slam the door to get your attention." She giggled with her arms crossed.
"Oh I dont know if you noticed or not...im sure you didnt. BUT its very much snowed out side. I had to walk home, cars aren't going any where." Danielle said mater-of-factly.
I got up awkwardly and looked out the window. It was very much white. It looked like I was stranded.
"How long does it take you to get home?" Crystal asked, with a blush on her cheeks.
"14 minutes." I said, still starring out the window.
"Thats to far to walk!" Crystal blurted out. Still high on the kiss.
"Well we have an extra room if you want to stay here. You really dont have much of a choice. So i'll get your room ready." Danielle stated. Walking to the spare room.
I looked over at Crystal who had a mixed expression of panic and embarrassment on her face. She blushed then looked down.
"Well its a little dusty, But its still cozy. If you need any thing just ask me or Crystal."Danielle said, while spreading out a fresh blanket on the small bed.
"Thank you." I said quietly, looking down.
"No prob hun. Goodnight, Sweetdreams and so on and so on..." Danielle said, while closing the door behind her, after turning off the light.
The only light that glowed was the lamp beside the bed. That was pretty bright for how small it was.
I went and sat on the side of the bed and bounced a little. It was more comfy then my bed at home!

I watched as he eyed the room with his normal expressionless face. I bit my bottom lip when he sat and bounced on the edge of the bed. He reminded me of a little was cute.
I smiled strangely i know...Im sure I was freaking him out by now.
"Are you comfy?" I asked, while fidgeting with the side of my pajama dress.
He looked up and smiled a small smile with a blush tracing across his face.
"Yes, thank you! Its actually more comfy then my bed at home." He laughed a little then cleared his throat uncomfortably. He started bouncing again.
"Well if your comfortable I guess I'll leave you be then." I turned to leave.
"Wait! If your not going to bed yet maybe we could... I dont know, talk a little while?" He asked, with big blue eyes.
How could I say no?
I walked over to where he sat and sat next to him. Holding my hands in my lap and crossing my legs. For once I felt exposed. Maybe it was cause I acted so weird after our short kiss or maybe its cause im in such a short thin dress. That could be it...
"I hope it clears up tomorrow." He says, while he lays down and leans on his arms.
I just shrugged not wanting to say anything more weird. I notice that he looked up at me then back down again.
"Matt wont like it when he finds out his car is gone." He laughs and rolls on his side towards me.
He sighs then smiles.
I wonder what hes thinking about?
I look down at him then remember something.
"Oh! Would you like to come home with me?" I say suddenly.
He stares at me strangely.
"Er.. I mean come home with me for Thanksgiving. My family always has this big get-together for the Holidays. I would sure like it if you could." I ask hopefully.
" Uhm. I'd love to. I'll have to see if I can get the week off though. So no promises." He smiles, and winks.
"Ok sounds good." I smile weakly. " Danielle is coming too, Her family isnt on the best of terms so she always comes with me. She was hoping Matt could come as well."
He laughs and says "Im sure he'll be all for it. We never do anything for Thanksgiving except play video games and eat popcorn." He laughs to himself and shakes his head.
We sit there in silence for about a minute. Just enjoying each others company.
He gets up takes off his shirt. Crawls on to the bed and flops laying there smiling at me. Ok which kinda turns me on.
He offers an arm to come lay next to him. I bite my bottom lip and just stared. Im sure I looked like a complete moron. I couldnt help but notice how lean but still muscular he was. His stomach was flat which showed off his small abs nicely. All and all, He looked very yummy.
I slowly wobbled my self onto the bed. Making sure my dress didnt come up. My heart throbbed, wondering what He was planning. I scooted under his warm arm, and rested my head against his chest. I might of gotten carried away, but I wrapped an arm around his waist and my leg around his; as I cuddled in. I could hear his heart beat, It was beating hard too. So at least I wasn't the only one nervous. He wrapped his arm around me securely and laid his head on mine.
I was so nervous! What was he going to do!? What if He was planning on- what- he- might- was going too!? Im a virgin so i have no experience...what if i mess it up?
I could feel my heart beat faster, and it pounded in my ears. I squeezed my eyes shut hoping he didnt hear my heart beat too.
I heard the clink of the lamp being shut off. I swore my heart could bounce right out of my chest right now!
I felt a strong warm hand, gently pull my chin up. Soft firm lips sweetly kiss mine for just a few seconds. Enough to take my breath away.
"I love you." He whispered in my ear before cuddling into the bed with me.
As the soft glowing moon shone through the lace curtains. We both fell asleep wrapped in each others arms that snowy night.
