Everyday, without fail, be it rain or shine – I could visit The Bakers Inn just to see her. Even though she is busy with her work, when time allows her small freedom, she would winked at me and she literally spoke a thousands words. Just admiring her at the corner of the store, I feel that it is more than enough. We were like close friends now, talk about everything under the sun. I feel myself transforming more humanly each time we are connected in speech, mentally, spiritually or emotionally. Crystal is like my drugs – her addiction is great.
I told Granny that I found her and Granny was overjoyed. Finally her prayers to the Gods have answered her.
‘Granny, I asked, ‘how is she going to help my cleanse my life?’
‘I have no answer myself, but I am certain that her appearance in your life would be the ending point of your accursed life.’
Recalling what Granny has told me, I couldn’t help but to smile inside my heart. Finally something good has come into my life – Oh well, at least something good did happened. I am contented.
Making her way towards me, Crystal whispered into my ear, ‘Wait for me alright? I go and change then we leave for dinner alright?’
I nodded and her elfish grin nearly made me pinch her cheeks. Today marks one hundred and fifty days since we met, therefore we have agreed on a one day celebration – a dinner. Sometimes I wonder why am I so willing to be together with Crystal just to spend time with one another? Even though she is the key to my cursed life, why does her power comes from? She is like any other ordinary folk around, with the exception of her ‘killer’ eyes.
‘Ta da!’
I was taken aback – A black tube – highlighting her well-endowed assets - and ivory skirt, which exuded female hormones used only for one purpose: to stir up the raging hormones of any males species around. She wore light make-up, particular around her eyes – I knew she realise that she had medusa’s gaze. Well, women sure know how to emphasize on their strengths. If I was a common men, I would be bowed over by her suggestive dressing.
‘Pretty, I should say…’
‘That’s all? I was expecting a list of adjective describing me.’
‘Well, I came up with one, but your stunning appearance made me forget my list.’
We both laughed.
‘I was just joking… so where should we have dinner?’
We travelled from Atrium Orchard down to my planned destination – Orchard point. On our chatty way there, I could see from the corner of my eyes, guys stealing glances at her, some even made lewd comments and a strange emotions brewed within me. Even though they did nothing physically, I was affected by their thoughts and involuntary actions. This strange emotions, I had never experience it before. What do you called it?
‘You called it… ah. Tell you next time.’ came Crystal’s cheeky reply, ‘And to solve it, you have to…’
Crystal took my hands and put it around her shoulders, while her hands wrapped around my waist. For some unexplained reasons, I was feeling better. Oh my god! This is totally illogical! I donÂ’t even understand what was going on and even more why did I feel better that way.
‘Silly…’
