| �What are you doing on my side of the bed,� Lance asked sitting down on Crystal�s stomach. �This is my side and you know it.� Crystal was laughing so hard that she was having trouble breathing. Lance�s big butt was smack on her gut. She started to pinch his butt and pull at his boxers. �OW,� Lance yelled as he jumped off Crystal. �You pinched my butt! I don�t believe you just did that.� �Never can be so sure of what I will do,� Crystal said as she gave Lance a seductive look. �Now, get your butt back in this bed and watch this movie with me. Don�t force me to get out of this bed.� �Ooo,� Lance said. �Don�t make me laugh.� Crystal opened her mouth in shock and she threw back the blankets and got up and started running after Lance. He took off down the hallway past the bathroom. He jumped on the banister of the stairs and slid down to the bottom. Crystal was close behind. He ran around the island in the kitchen. He didn�t expect Crystal to jump over the island and jump on his back. �What are you doing to me,� Lance asked as he walked back to the staircase with Crystal still attached to his back. �You are going to kick my butt and I�m a guy, can�t let that happen.� �You will just have to face defeat,� Crystal said pretending to choke Lance. �I�m woman, here me roar.� Lance put Crystal down and started tickling her. She ran upstairs and fell down on the bed in Lance�s room. Lance fell down next to her and they sat and laughed for a few minutes. �How long have we been friends,� Crystal asked. �It seems like yesterday we were meeting.� �Well,� Lance said. �I am 21 and you are 22.� �We met in driving school,� Crystal said. �But we weren�t friends until you hit me.� �Oh yeah,� Lance said. �That�s when you threatened to sue me.� �You hit my brand new car,� Crystal said. �I worked my butt off to save up for it and then you hit me on my way home from buying it.� �Crystal,� Lance said. �You still seem a bit tense about it still.� �Just a little bit,� Crystal said smiling. She moved closer to Lance and laid her head on his chest. �I don�t know what I would have done without you.� �Probably slept the whole night away tonight,� Lance said laughing. �But what are friends for?� �Let�s watch the movie later, Hun,� Crystal said siting up. �I�m pooped. What did you need me for tomorrow?� �Oh!� Lance said helping Crystal pull up the covers around them. �My parents want to get a house around here and they want me to find one. I can�t go house hunting alone. It wouldn�t be right. I do everything with you and I need you there for me. You just have to help me, Okay?� �Of course,� Crystal said kissing Lance�s cheek. �I will do anything for you honey.� �Thanks, angel,� Lance said. �Night.� �Night,� Crystal said. Crystal put her head back on Lance�s chest and he pulled her closer to him. She breathed in and out smiling as his scent filled her noes. Lance loved having Crystal there at night and all the time. She was there more then he was. Every time he turned around, Crystal was doing something for him either at home or where he worked at the recording studio. �Crystal,� Lance asked. �Are you still awake?� �No,� Crystal answered. �I�m definitely sleeping.� �Will you think about something for me,� Lance asked. Brushing her hair away from her face with his right hand. �Will you move in with me?� �Night Lance,� Crystal said. Lance knew she was already sleeping and she didn�t hear him. He closed his eyes and imagined the way things would be for them if she did move in with him. �Please don�t hurt me,� Crystal said as she jerked her arm back away from her head and hit Lance right where it counts. �Thanks angel,� Lance grunted. �Josh isn�t here.� Lance knew she was having a bad dream about Josh, her ex boyfriend who had beaten her so many times before. Lance had been the only guy that she trusted since then. Crystal stopped moving around and talking. The moon's reflection was shinning in on the wall of Lance�s room and shone on the floor. It lit the room just enough to show Crystal�s face smiling as she held on Lance. |
