Chapter 33
It was one Blazes friend, and he had come to his house to look for him as he was not at his office and his phone was not connecting.
"I am sorry sir, please do not be mad at me", Gina spoke out as she got up to her feet. Marco, who was stunned by her beauty, stared at her with his eyes and mouth widely opened.
" Sir, are you okay?", she further asked and the other maids who were attracted by the voices, rushed to the living room to know what was happening.
"Sir Marco, welcome to our home again", the maid spoke out with a smile on her face, and Gina, noticing that the others had arrived, kindly excused herself in shame and she walked quickly upstairs to her room.
Marco's eyes did not have her body, while she climbed the stairs till she finally disappeared, and not holding himself back from inquiring, he turned to the maids and asked about the beautiful lady that he had just seen.
"Oh, she is Mr. Blaze's guest and she is here with her dame".
Marco had found something in Blaze's house that did not want him to leave anymore and forgetting the reason why he was at Blaze's house, his mood was just smiles all through.
Breathing profusely at what had happened, Gina, held her chest with her right hand feeling so embarrassed at what had gone on downstairs.
" How did I not see that someone was coming behind me?", she questioned herself but her answers were stuck in her throat refusing to become known. Thinking of the fine young man that she had knocked down, Gina could not help but to agree that he was handsome as smells good too but climbing down from her fantasy, she thought back to the fact that, she is just a maid and such a man can never fall for her.
"Gina, you better get to the privy cause that is what you were going to do before that horrible incident happened", she murmured while leading the way to the lavatory.
Crystal was quiet throughout the journey and her heart was filled with joy but at the same time, she was so embarrassed by the situation that she could not even look at Blaze in the eyes again. He had noticed her silence and embarrassing position as it had everything to do with the kiss that he had given to her.
" Are you okay?", he asked making an effort to set off the lull that was between them but Crystal still keeping her gaze on her dress nodded positively to his question.
"Are you feeling embarrassed about why happened some moments ago?", Blaze pressed on and Crystal's face had already constructed some bubbles of sweat out of anxiety.
" I think that I am fine", she responded. Blaze smiled at her and kept on driving for some minutes and catching a glimpse of the resort where he was taking her, he said,
"Take a look at that"."
At what without?", she asked without putting up with her head and Blaze focusing on the road but still managing to pull her head up, turned it softly to the side, and her reaction was wowed by what she was seeing.
"This is amazing", her eyes glittering from her view outside the car screen.
She was happy to see how everything was arranged and the beach was amazing. Her whole attention was focused on what she was seeing outside while her heartfelt joy.
" Is this where place you were talking about?", she asked turning her gaze to Blaze and her smile brightened up his existence.
"Yes, this is where I wanted to bring you cause I figured out that you needed some good time", he spoke out, driving his way to the parking lot, with the help of the security agent that was directing him consultation well.
Before Blase could place well, Crystal just wanted to get out and head to the beach and as soon as the contact of the vehicle was cut, she told Blaze to unlock the door for her to go down.
" Hey, calm down, we are going to get there eventually okay!", he said, and the expression on Crystal's face had gone to a sorrowful one. Blaze not wanting that to happen held her hand and without her expecting what was going to happen, he pulled her towards him while his eyes met hers.
Crystal looking around to see whether people were looking at them, swallowed some saliva inside her throat and asked him what he wanted and Blaze letting out a teasing smile slip out of his lips asked,
"Are you quite sure that you want to know what I want?".
The atmosphere was already getting hot for her so with a struggle, she managed to squeeze herself out of his arms. Her lips shiver as she looked at him and her bud could be felt sliding in between her legs.
" Shall we go now to the beach?", she asked but Blaze walking closer to her, made her feel uncomfortable as she walked backward. She was looking at him and the fright in her eyes could be seen clearly but she decided to stay steady.
"You do not need to be scared of me Crystal, moreover, I am not going to hurt you", Blaze whispered but Crystal thinking back to the unpleasant incident that had happened in his house on the first night, moved her lips and let out,
" I do joy trust you as you have once taken advantage of me before or have you forgotten about that so soon?".
"If I was as bad as you are saying or thinking about, you would not have come to me in such a period right?", his voice got onto her ears while his stare made her melt slowly.
Lowering her head, she made a way out of the piece that he was blocking her, and looking around she asked whether they were going to finally head to the beach or stay there all day.
His attention was focused on her and his heart was raising, he could not keep the truth again from her much longer as he had deeply grown madly in love with her. He had to find a way to fix things there before they could go back to the city and that place was his only chance to remedy the situation. Crystal pulled his hand and They both went inside the building that was standing in front of them.
She was wowed by what she was observing and asking Blaze why he had not brought her there yesterday, he smiled and said,
" I wanted you to have some great first". It was clear that Crystal was an innocent soul. She was all over the place when they got inside and all she wanted was for Blaze to hurry up and show her around.
"Wait Crystal, I need to make some reservations", he explained but Crystal had completely gone off after listening to him say that he was to get an accommodation.
" Why are you getting a room, we did not plan to stay here for long right?", she asked all suspicious but Blaze told her to calm down and that it was just for precaution. He further explained that it was better to be safe than sorry because, they might get carried away by the fun and nightfall could meet them over there but Crystal being categorical about the whole thing, refused to listen to him.
"Look, I know what you're thinking, and trust me it is not going to happen", she spoke out but he made an effort to convince her to change her mind and even proposed that they could be in a separate room but she still denied.
" Let's go Mr. Blaze", she grumbled and Blaze not having any other choice but to follow her, kept back his card in his pocket and they left for the beach site. It was a beautiful sunny day, with a lot of people there.
Crystal could not but open her hands wide open as she left the cold breeze to blow her sorrows away. It had been long she had not been to such a place and there she was, with the man that she was madly in love with but could not say.
"Do you want us to get some swimsuit?", Blazed questioned while he pointed in the direction of the boutique, and it was just closed to the inn.
" No thanks but I will rather stay in my dress, moreover, we are going back soon right?", she asked and her smile was everything to him. Crystal saw a little girl playing inside water, and her eyes got opened just by admiring her move at the banks of the water.
"Can I walk a little on the beachside", she inquired and Blaze asked her whether she was familiar with the place, she said no,
" But I just want to exercise my legs a little while enjoying this beautiful view that I have here", her response was immediate. He permitted her to go but he was watching her closely as she was very fragile.
Blaze had walked to the ice-cream seller to get two cones of ice cream, when staff from the hotel, came running with an orator in his hands, asking Everyone to leave the beach and get inside where it will be safe for them.
The different people who were there tried to ask him what was going on but not wanting to scare them, he asked them to follow his colleagues inside.
Blaze who was feeling nervous about the situation walked up to the person and asked why the matter was after presenting himself but the staff feel honored to have such a great personality on their beach, told him there was a torrent of rain that was going to pour down very soon so everyone had to be saved.
His mind quickly went to Crystal, and out of fright, he threw down the ice cream cone and began running in an opposite direction in search for Crystal who could not even be seen amid the crowd.
Puzzled at the reaction of people, she looked at them getting up on their feet and making their way out of the beach in their numbers.
"Where are they all going to?", she asked but her attention was captivated by the drop of rainfall on her face. She wiped it and when she had a look at the liquid and her head was raised the sky to confirm whether what she was thinking was real.
" Oh my God, rain is coming", she spoke out. Her focus was to get back to Blaze, but she had later seen someone crying in the water along with a doll in her hands. It was the little girl that she had seen earlier when she had just arrived at the beach.
"Come baby girl, don't be scared come to me", Crystal said while stretching her hand towards the little girl asking where her mommy was. She left the water and walked closer to Crystal with tears in her eyes and she took her into her arms caressing her hair.
" It is okay now, do not cry I will take you to your mommy okay?", she murmured and the little girl holding tightly to her, did not want to let go.
It was rather unfortunate that things had turned out so awful with the rain just at the moment that she was planning to have a good time. The weather had become darker, leaving Crystal in a fearful state, but walking quickly so as not to get wet, she saw Blaze who was also looking for her.
"Where have you been Crystal and who's the child is?", Blaze asked but Crystal telling him not to bother as she was going to explain later, asked Blaze to help her with the girl as she was weighing somehow for her.
" That was the last thing I can remember of our conversation", Georgia had related everything to Simon. Letting out a vast sigh of sadness, Georgia dropped down a tear as she was having the nastiest feelings and was guessing that something bad must have happened to her friend.
"You do not need to cry, but I think that something is wrong somewhere and we need to find out what it is", Simon added but Georgia not knowing what to imagine anymore, asked what they could do. She could not even reason properly and had no idea of where to find Crystal.
" That is exactly what I am saying right there, you and Crystal are best friends so it is impossible that she will travel out of town or even the country without informing you so you have all the right to worry and feel the way that you are feeling".
"I just feel it deep down in me that she is not fine and her uncle knows something about it but he does not want to talk about it".
Simone could not explain what was happening to him, but he was suddenly feeling uncomfortable, seeing the tears fall from her eyes. With his hands reaching for hers on the table, he touched Georgias slowly while keeping his haze at her.
" I can understand how you feel Georgia and I promise you that we are going to find her trust me on this", he spoke out. Georgia's eyes could not leave the sight of his hand on hers and her emotions were taking her to another level, as she kept on wondering why he was taking her hands like that.
Crystal and Blaze were at the shelter inside the inn and feeling the little girl's head on her shoulder, she looked at her with so much love in her eyes. Blaze who could not ignore what he was observing, let out a smile at the bond that Crystal was having with the little girl.
"Attention please, the rain is heavily falling outside and we are sorry for the inconvenience. It often happens like this and we cannot assure you how long it will take before stopping, so I will advise everyone who has not booked a place yet, to do so as the downpour usually takes a while to end".
Crystals surprise was very glaring when she had listened to that, and turning her head, she asked Blaze whether they will have today there all day till night, and sluggishly looking at her, he nodded. Crystal took a look at her body and the look of it was not good as her dresses were all wet, but taking her head and noticing how long their journey was, she could not bear to imagine that they will have to take the way back home with such precipitation.
" You planned this right?", she asked and Blaze staring at her all confused asked,
"I planned what?".
A frown was noticed on her forehead with semi angry eyes. Blaze did not want to cause more trouble so he changed the topic, asking whether she was going to keep the child or look for her mom. Just as he was inquiring from her, another announcement came in that a lady was looking for her missing daughter.
" That must be the mother of this cute little princess that you are holding in his arms", Blaze spoke. Crystal raised her hand speaking at the top of her voice so that she could be heard clearly,
"I have a little girl here with me, is she the person you are referring to?".
Her good heart had attracted everyone's eyes to her and Blaze as they stood closer to each other. The lady on seeing her daughter rushed to meet Crystal with tears in her eyes.
" Thank you so much for saving my little diva", her mother let out bit Crystal just smiled at her and handed over her daughter back to her.
"Good God ma'am and I wish that you have so many kids with your husband", a man spoke out from the crowd and another lady added,
" You both look so cute together".
Crystal's head was already swollen up in shame but Blaze who was enjoying the show did not hesitate to smile at every given opportunity.
"Oh my God he is such a handsome man, did you see how well built he is?", some ladies murmured and Crystal catching a glimpse of what they were saying, felt bad and moody all of a sudden.
Feeling angry by what those ladies were saying, Crystal turned to Blaze and asked that they leave the hotel and walk out. Blaze not understanding why she was behaving in such a manner all of a sudden, followed her, and realizing that she was going outside under the rain, Blaze ran behind her to stop her.
"Crystal, where are you going to, it is raining and you can't possibly want to go under right?", Blaze inquired but Crystals jealousy took the better part of her, and all she was thinking of was to go back home as she did not want to stay there again for another second.
Blaze noticing that her anger grew up every time he tried to touch her, asked,
" Are you jealous because those girls were saying that I am beautiful?", he inquired but that only made matters worse as she got angrier.
"What do you take me for, a cheap girl? I do not care whether you date and have sex with anyone here", she murmured, and just when she was finishing her phrase, thunder strokes could her given attention to so Crystal being scared to the core, she leaped out to Blaze body, closing her eyes and holding him tight shivering out if fear.
" Please help me I am scared of thunder", she cried out, and Blaze taking her into his arms felt that he needed to protect her.
"You do not need to be afraid I am here with you okay?", he assured her, and whispering in her eyes, Blaze told her that it was time for them to get their rooms as there was no way of going back home that day.
