Chapter 16
"Aren't we there yet?" Michael asked again. He was restless. Being away from Crystal had turned him into a mess. He even snapped at his workers daily for no single reason at all. He was sure Crystal wasn't as half affected as he was.
The journey he had embarked on couldn't be put off anymore, lest he did something he would regret. He vowed to do anything humanly and morally possible to get the love of his life back.
"this is the place sir" his driver parked in front of a well fenced bungalow.
"that will be all for now. I will call you when I am done" Michael told him as he alighted the car
The house was really beautiful. The fence hid a lot of its beauty. As he rang the doorbell, he prayed for Gods Favour.
Mrs Jason was busy baking Crystal's favourite cake when the doorbell rang. She was about to wash her hands and answer the door when she heard Crystals voice
"I will get it mum"
"sure, thanks" her mum replied, happy that Crystal had gotten past her moody state.
Nothing prepared Crystal for the sight that greeted her when she opened the door. She stood by the door too shocked to move
"can I come in?" he sounded unsure
Crystals treacherous heart leaped at the sight of him. To say she was happy to see Michael seated in her palour was an understatement. She constantly had to remind herself to sit still, to avoid jumping into his arms.
They had been sitting staring at each other when Michael spoke up again "Crystal..." he trailed off.
Ohhh how she had missed his voice. After much thinking and lots of advice from her mum. She had concluded that a child was not enough reason to stay away from Michael. She loved him too much to live on without him. But she didn't call because she didn't know how to tell him. What if he no longer wanted her? She couldn't faced his rejection even though she deserved it for pushing him away.
She was glad he came to her parents house to find her but she was also surprised. He had not been to her house before moreover only Kelly knew of her whereabouts
"how did you find me?" she asked him
Michael was surprised. He had been expecting Crystal to yell and lash out at him but the reverse was the case. Maybe God had heard his prayers. Even though she looked tired, she was still incredibly beautiful to him.
"I asked Kelly where you were. She told me and gave me directions. But not before giving me an earful"
Crystal smiled. That was what Kelly would do.
"Crystal I...."
"why don't I show you around my mum's garden, its really beautiful" she interrupted him.
She wanted to postpone the conversation for as long as possible. She couldn't tell if he was in her house to finally cut off ties with her. Had he decided to marry that woman? Her heart squeezed painfully at the thought.
She was nervous about what he wanted to say and believed walking around the garden would help clear her nerves. She was ready to beg Michael if it came to that and talking outside the house will keep her mum from seeing her beg.
They strolled around the garden for a while neither of them talking. Michael's arm slightly brushed her sending shivers up her spine.
He thought she was cold so he removed his jacket and covered her with it. Crystal didn't mind, it bought her closer to him. She took a deep breath as he stopped.
"Crystal I want to apologise for all the pain and hurt I have caused you. The child is not truly mine. Lillian deceived us into believing her scheme" he stopped then continued " crys I really need you in my life, my life wouldn't have any meaning without you in it... Please forgive me" he was on his knees
Crystal silently stared at him as tears ran down her face. So the child was not even his. She had deprived them of precious time together because of one crazy woman. It was all her fault yet Michael was on his knees apologising. She needed to stop acting without thinking before she would lose something of great importance to her.
She needed to apologise. Nothing justified her actions. She choked on her tears and fell on her knees next to Michael. He held her against his chest to ease her tears
"please say you forgive me" he pleaded
