In high spirits she strolled out the apartment that had definitely gone well she expected an outburst anger sobbing even he had certainly taken it well. When she found herself feeling sorry for him she was angry that bastard was going to kill her she reminded herself.
A few weeks later there was still no news from Storm crystal thought as she attempted to sleep. After a while she noticed she was in heaven looking around she noticed she was surrounded by clouds. As she paced around she noticed Storm a meter away from her what was he doing up here? Crystal wondered. "I called you here all you can see is an illusion" Storm said solemnly. As he spoke Crystal realized she more then liked him she could almost say she loved him.
She was definitely not going to admit that to him and what was he doing intruding her dreams? "What do you want Storm?" Crystal hissed.
"The same thing you do" he replied. "And what could that be?" Crystal answered goading him "you" he replied "what do you mean?" Crystal questioned. "I love you Storm" replied simply with those words everything seemed to hurtle down towards earth. Down to reality she stared at him blankly how could he say something like that to her after she had killed his sister?
Aghast she stared at him stunned "do you" he asked seeming not to have noticed the look on her face. "Maybe, Maybe not" she retorted her self confidence returning. As he stood there waiting for her response not saying anything Crystal sincerely considered his words. He probably loved her many guys did and she had rejected them all. But this was different did she feel the same and was surprised when she found the answer was yes she did she thought back to the times she had seen Storm with other girls the feelings she felt then could they possibly have been jealousy?
Normally she would have denied this but she couldn't lie to herself especially when she was surrounded by fluffy clouds. Facing him squarely her chin held up high she spoke the word that would change everything "yes" her eyes captivated by his waiting for his reply however his reply didn't come in words he reached out towards her and held her in the unyielding circle of his arms. Crystal was filled with bliss as she burrowed her head in his cashmere jumper. After what seemed like an eternity there lips met the kiss was wonderful shutting the rest of the world out.
Every night held a new excitement for Crystal either she would spend long hours at the beach with Storm. Or attended party's liked she never new before. As she positively bounced towards Storms apartment she contemplated what they would do that evening this past month with Storm had definitely been interesting reaching his apartment she walked in a grin on her face. "Babe you're here" Storm grinned ruffling her hair like a master patting his dog. Lately she felt Storm was hiding something from her since the first day she had noticed that something wasn't quite right his kisses were usually brisk and she had put it down to nervousness.
However it had been a month now and from brisk his affection had changed to formal almost verging on cold. Despite this he was usually a gentle man insuring she was warm and in good health. Seeing his fingers clicking together in front of her face she was snapped back to reality. "Daydreaming honey?" Storm smirked flopping down on the sofa reluctantly she joined him. "You know I could make your world fall apart" he murmured seriously. Moving away from him she stood up "don't forget I can do exactly the same anyway where do you want to go tonight?" Crystal asked could she really trust him forcing herself to look as upbeat as usual.
"Wherever you want to" he answered his odd mood lifting. "Oh I actually had some things I wanted to do back home" in fact she new Storms birthday was coming up and so wanted to be the one who organized his party. She would make sure it would be the best celebration ever.
"I've got to be going" as she reached the door she smiled back at him "nice seeing you to" she said as she gently shut the door. "Hey wait" he called and sprang after her until they were inches apart he quickly kissed her then kissed the end of her nose. "Have fun" he grinned.
Pulling out her cell phone she dialed a caterer's number she had looked up earlier. She heard a posh female voice speaking "millionaire catering service how can we help you?"
"An interview would be nice, actually I wanted it now to discuss what I want" Crystal answered her voice strained as she wondered why she didn't just get her maid to do this. Wishing she hadn't been so stubborn wanting to sort everything her self she regretted her earlier choice.
"That's not possible we already have someone booked for today" the secretary replied.
Snapped out her thoughts she Crystal spoke with influence "excuse me I would appreciate it if you could swap the places I am a busy women and don't have time to discuss this situation with mere secretaries as yourself, and yes I'll be there in 10 minutes" once she hung up she headed towards the catering service.
Seeing it she walked in the building was pretty impressive she noticed the secretary she had been talking to not so long ago. "Where's your manager?" Crystal asked casually.
"Oh yes I thought you would come however as I told you earlier we don't just give appointments you can book one though" she replied tapping away at her slim lined laptop.
"Either you get me your manager now or your fired" Crystal ordered.
"Sure" the secretary replied hurrying away. Crystal was surprised without even intending to she had sent a command with her mind was she gaining power as she grew older? Only time could tell.
A minute later the secretary arrived with a short frail looking lady with mousy features her hair a chestnut brown probably in her forties. "I'm the manger now what's all the fuss?" the lady snapped. Though she looked delicate she definitely had a sharp mouth amused Crystal grinned "I wanted a catering team to sort out a party for me, name your price and my financial adviser will take it from there" interested now the managers demeanor turned sugary.
"Of course dear what did you want it for? Linda can you go get some pictures?" satisfied Crystal leaned on the counter. The secretary passed her a glossy folder which showed different luxurious buildings each more classier then the other. Closing the folder she asked to see the best building she hadn't known the service provided buildings as well but if they were who was she to complain. Standing up the manager bustled around the room finally passing a sheet to Crystal looking down and saw a breathtaking building. It seemed to be made out of glass and was shaped as a dome a high building divided into three main parts design were engraved in the doorway the windows large and the panes made out of marble the building was beautiful five pillars held the building up and the entire picture seemed to sparkle in the light. "This will be perfect" Crystal smiled warmly.
"In our package we organize everything food, tables, security so the price is often high" the lady smiled apprehensively. "That would be great" crystal was definitely warming to the lady what do I need to sign? Crystal asked
That night she was bored and decided to investigate the rest of the mansion.
Since her parents death Sanama had closed certain rooms and told her she was never allowed to enter them. He had also restricted her to the front of the mansion many times she had tried to break the current of power surrounding the rooms however she had failed. She wondered why Sanama had gone to such extremes every month he had the locks checked and strengthened by powerful Vampires since she was three years old. Now the wards were near unbreakable and she could feel there energy pulsing locking the rooms from her. By research over the years she had discovered that the rooms had been her parent's quarters it had been a long time since she had thought of her parents.
