He Is A Scumbag

“And if I may ask you Crystal, why the fuck do you think that leaving this house would be the best option for you to take right now?” Red who was already pissed asked her while she was still inside the car.
He felt really bad knowing that the girl he had suffered to defend and bring her to his second home, rejected his kind offer.
“ I just can’t stay here Red. I don’t like it when other pity me you know” Crystal replied like she was Red’s boss.
Red paused for a while thinking about what to do to make Crystal change her mind. I barely know her so thinking about what she likes would be difficult. He thought to himself.
He released a heavy sigh as he let go of her window which she had tried to close at first.
“I guess your wish is my command then” Red said as he went to his car door. He opened it and climbed into it immediately.
“I wish they die on their way to where ever they are heading to.” Helen who was still inside the house with her bra and pant said out.
She had felt bad hearing Red talk back at her because of Crystal. She was close to the curtains which covered the window and had kept watching them from the inside.
Immediately Red drove out of the compound, she ran up to her room to pack her clothes that were in the house.
She knew who Red was. It was better to leave the house when he commanded you to than to stay and wait till he gets you.
His anger was something Helen couldn’t explain or try to control no matter what.
She hurriedly arranged her stuffs and In no time, she was out of the house just as Red had ordered.
In Red’s car………..
Crystal sat down with her face showing no emotions at all and her eyes or gaze placed at the direction they were heading to.
Red had kept on staring at her at ever three seconds interval. He just wished he could explain things to her but he just didn’t know how to do so.
He took in his deep breath and was about talking but at the sight of Crystal’s facial expression, he paused.
Even my words are scared of her Expression. He said to himself inwardly as he kept on driving the car.
After few minutes, they got to a long traffic that would definitely take ages for them to pass through.
He stopped his car and just as other passengers did, he waited patiently.
Crystal was already uncomfortable knowing that she was in Red’s car who was not only her boss but a womanizer.
Seeing him with Helen only gave her a wrong impression about Red without his knowledge.
She placed her head on the window and thought about what her aunty would be doing at that point.
Crystal raised her hand to look at her wrist. It was time to rest for the day. She thought.
“Could you try to find a lane that is moving?” she questioned turning to look at Red.
Hearing her ask him a quick question made him summon up the courage to talk back or respond to her question.
He had tried so hard to start a conversation between themselves but had kept on failing the moment he stares at her.
“I can’t go through other lanes dummy” He teased .
Crystal glared at him before taking her gaze off him. She just wasn’t comfortable sitting down close to him.
“But hey” Red called out looking at her.
“Sir” she responded immediately. It was more like her senses were already back to normal.
She has been commanding Red like he was a kid since they got out of the house.
“No need for the official statements ok?” he stated clearly. “Where would you be going to from her?” he questioned her.
“I am sorry to say this sir…….” She paused. “Its none of your business” Crystal finally finished her statement.
No one has ever responded to Red that way before. He has always been respected all through his life.
Hearing her respond to him in such manner made him smile. He was glad that finally a girl could stand up to him and speak back at him.
“And why are you smiling?” Crystal asked in a more disgusting tone which made Red still smile the more.
“No one has ever said no to me dummy. Not even a girl as little as you are” he announced.
“Could you stop calling me dummy then? Because as it stands, the dummies are those people who couldn’t stand up to you” Crystal demanded as a tsk follows.
“You shouldn’t be this hard on me Crystal, I…..” He was about saying when he heard a man probably in his late forties yell out at him.
“More the fucking car dude!!!”
Immediately, Red turned to look at the highway. That was when it dawned on him that the other cars were already far gone.
“Shit!!” he cursed.
“When did this happen?” he asked but not even Crystal. Replied his question. She had kept quiet like a mute.
Finally, they were out of the traffic. They got close to a Coffee store and that was when Crystal asked to stop.
“I would love to alight here sir” She feigned a smile while she suggested to come down.
“Here?” he stopped his car and looked around the place.
“I don’t see any home here or a boutique where you could buy a cloth from around here” he spoke out as he kept his gaze around the place.
He was still confused when she Opened the door and climbed out of his car.
“Where the fuck does she thinks I will let her go to?” he muttered as he climbed out of his car immediately , ran over to her and grabbed her hand.
“What is wrong with you dummy?” He asked.
Seeing him grab her hand every now and then only gave her thrills in her belle. “Let me go” she pulled her hand off his grip .
“Could you please go back to your mansion? I know I would be fine without you ok?” she stated as she turned to leave him at a spot.
He watched her walk into the coffee store that was there and that was built there. He looked at the name of the coffee store and that was when it dawned on him.
“I thought she said something about not being able to work here anymore?” he said to himself.
He placed his hands on his waist as that was the only thing he could do. He wasn’t sure if he was to go after her or just go home.
“I am so confused and u think I am going to lose my mind because of her so soon” Red complained as he placed his hand on his short curly waves and ran his fingers through them.
He huffed as he walked back to his car. “I hope I have made the right decision” he wondered.
Red turned on the engine of his car and in no time, he zoomed off put of the spot where he had parked.
“I guess she’s old enough to take care of her self” He thought to himself.
“Why am I even worried about her. She could go due for all I care!” he kept on saying things that only a jealous boyfriend would say to his girlfriend.
He barely let girls talk to him so he barely know anything about them.
He drove to a restaurant that was close by. It wasn’t that far from the coffee store though.
He only stayed there so he could see when she exited the coffee store.
He ordered for a creamy cup of coffee and in no time, it was given to him without hesitation.
He could buy the restaurant if he wanted too .
At the Coffee store…..
“Hey Crystal” her long time friend back then in high school greeted her as she walked into the coffee store.
She paused for a while wondering why she was in the same store that Jack owned .
“Hey” She forced a greeting out of her mouth.
“Babe, how about we…..” Jack who was exiting his office paused at the sight of Crystal.
“Babe?” Crystal whispered to his hearing.
“Can we talk?” he suddenly suggested.
“Yeah sure” she followed him to the back of the coffee store.
It was an open place though and people could see them but couldn’t hear their conversations unless they walked closer to them.
Red was still looking out for when she exited the coffee store until his eyes caught her.
“What is she doing there with that scumbag?” he thought to himself.
He saw them talk for a long time but when he realized that Crystal was going to cry, he stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
“How dare a nobody touch or try to make my dummy maid cry?” he spoke out as he walked frantically towards the coffee store to ho get Crystal out of there.
“Where is he?” He questioned with a furious look.
