Loving the Playboy 11

CHAPTER 11

Crystal was very nervous and on edge the whole week. She hoped the week would pass by slower. She really didn’t know how to face Michael. She purposely avoided him throughout the week and now it was Friday.

As crystal dragged herself to work, she imagined different scenarios of how her date would go. None of the scenes looked appealing to her. She busied herself throughout the day and left work earlier than usual. They had agreed he would pick her up by 7pm and at exactly the said time, the doorbell rang

Crystal cleaned her sweaty palms and checked the mirror again before hurrying to the door. She was dressed in a short but not too short black gown with v-cutting at the back. She wore gold heels to match her gold clutch with minimal make-up. Her gown was decent but still showed off her curves in all the right places.

……….

Micheal took out his handkerchief to clean his hand for the uptenth time that evening. He couldn’t understand why he was so nervous. Its not like he had never been on a date before. He had changed his clothes like five times before settling on the white t-shirt with jacket on top and dark jean trousers.

After some few minutes, he rang the doorbell again and the door flew open to reveal Crystal standing at the door in all her glory. To say she was beautiful was an understatement. She looked stunning. He lost himself simply staring until she cleared her throat, bringing him back to reality.

‘your staring’ she told him shyly

He smiled at her ‘am sorry, I couldn’t help it.. You look beautiful’ he told her sincerely his heart racing

‘thanks, you look great yourself’ 

Soon they were on their way. Micheal didn’t know what to talk about as he was still nervous so he slot in a music disk to fill the silence.

‘Oh my God’ crystal exclaimed  ‘I love this song’ she began singing along forgetting her nervousness. She turned to see Michael smiling and humming along with her. It was not until they got to the hotel were he had made reservations for them that conversation began to flow effortlessly. As they ate they talked about their family life and their upbringing. Crystal was surprise to find out that they were alike in many ways. They both loved reading novels, watching movies and most importantly, they both loved Jesus.

When she learned that he was a Christian, she decided that whatever he did in the past was past and she wasn’t going to let it determine her future with him. Hours flew by and soon it was time to go home. Crystal didn’t want to go home yet, she had enjoyed herself much more than she cared to admit.

As Micheal entered her driveway, he left the car to run idly and they stared at each other ‘thank you for…’ they both started at the same time and then burst out laughing, ‘okay ladies first’

‘now you remember that one abi?’ she hit him playfully ‘anyways I just wanted to say thanks for everything especially for convincing me to go out with you. I really had a nice time’ she stared into his eyes

‘no.. I should be the one thanking you for that. Maybe I wouldn’t have still been alive today if you didn’t agree to go out with me’ he joked and then turned serious ‘I had fun too and I would like us to do this again if you don’t mind’ he looked at her hopefully

‘sure I would love to’ she smiled at him.

Micheal let out the breath he didn’t know he was holding ‘thank you’

Crystal thought he was going to kiss her with the way he was staring. Though a part of her wanted him to, the more logical side was against it. When he bade her goodnight after walking her to the door, she felt a mixture of relief and disappointment. After she shut the door she leaned on it wanting to calm the raging butterflies in her stomach. Maybe her happily ever after wasn’t as far as she thought.
