Chapter 2

6 years later...

The phone rang in Crystal's bedroom. She ran quickly up the stairs and into her room. She picked up the phone and whispered a breathless hello.

"Baby? What's wrong?" Josh's voice came over the line. Her and Josh had started dating seven months before. They had discovered that they had feelings towards each other as soon as they knew what it meant.

"Oh, nothing, Josh, I was just running up the stairs to grab the phone. I was in the kitchen. So, what's up?" Crystal asked, pushing her long blonde hair over one shoulder. "Are you home?"

"Yeah, Crys, I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to go out tonight to see that new action movie that just came out tonight," Josh said.

"Yeah, sure, Josh. What time will you be over?" she asked, twirling the phone cord on her finger.

"Well...I could come over now, maybe watch some TV in your room before we go to the movies. And we could invite Jase, even though I can't stand his obnoxious girlfriend," Josh said dryly. Crystal laughed. It was true that Jason had picked the snottiest girl, Janie, to be his girlfriend, but hey, who wouldn't date the picture perfect girl. Everything about her was perfect.

Except her insides, Crystal thought.

"Okay, yeah come over, and I'll call Jase. So, I'll see you in a bit?" she said.

"Yeah, bye babe." Josh hung up the phone.

Crystal quickly dialed Jason's number.

"Hello?" Jason mumbled.

"Hey, Jase! It's me. Listen, do you wanna go with me and Josh to the movies tonight? We could make it a double date!" Crystal said.

"Um...sorry, hun, I can't. I gotta, um...do something with Janie tonight." He sighed. "Listen, please don't tell Josh about this. I trust you, Crys, okay?" Jason whispered. Crystal became alert.

"Yeah, you know that I will, Jase. What's up?" Just then, someone on her door knocked. She sighed in frustration.

"Listen, Jase, can I talk to you later? Someone's knocking on my door, and I don't want anyone to overhear our conversation," Crystal said.

"Umm...okay, Crys, I'll talk to you later. Thanks for the invitation. Bye."

"Bye." She hung up the phone, and went to open her bedroom door. It was Josh.

"Hey, baby, did you miss me?" Josh whispered, closing the door behind him and locking it, bringing Crystal into his arms, and bringing his lips down onto hers, moving over her slowly. He brought his hands up and down her back slowly and gently. They slowly moved towards her bed, and he gently nudged her down onto it.

Crystal slowly moved her hands under his shirt, running her hands up and down. Her heart started to beat faster as Josh's mouth trailed down her neck and unto her chest. He slowly started to remove her shirt.

Oh God, he's getting closer and closer to where we usually stop. What if he doesn't this time, what do I do? she fretted.

God, I can't have enough of her. She's so damned beautiful and sexy. I'm so glad I have her. I love her sooo much... Josh thought, his brain foggy from desire. He sweetly kissed her neck, and started to move his hands down to her breasts, his hands cupping them.

Crystal's heart pounded even faster. When she saw that Josh was about to unhook her bra, something he hadn't tried to do before, she roughly pushed him off her. He landed on his back on the floor.

"Shit!" Josh cried when the jolt of pain shot through his head.

"Oh, God, Josh, I'm sorry!" she apoligized rushing over to where Josh lay on the floor. She helped him sit up.

"Why'd you push me like that for, Crystal? That damned hurt a lot! And I'm not just talking about physically!" he said, rubbing his head.

Crystal was torn between what to do. Should she have let him continue. She knew she loved him, and that he loved her.

"Why do you want to have sex, Josh?" she asked softly.

"God, Crys! It's not like that! You make it sound sordid! We would be making love, baby. Because we love each other," Josh said.

Isn't that what all guys say to get into a girl's pants, she thought. But she knew he wasn't like that. Or was he?

"I don't know, Josh. I'm...I'm just not ready!" she blurted out. Josh sighed.

"Okay, baby, that's perfectly all right. Are we still on for tonight? Ruskin, Florida doesn't have much to offer, but at least it has some good movies unlike other small towns that they get all the crap," Josh said, back to his old self. Crystal sighed in relief.

"Yeah, Josh. So, um, do you wanna go back to your house, and I'll meet you outside around seven?" she said, standing up. She grabbed her pants, and slipped into them.

"OKay, I can take a brush off," he teased, easily standing up. He leaned down to kiss her, and seemed to hesitate for a second before he kissed her on her lips softly, and walked out of her room.

Crystal sighed, and decided she needed a walk to clear her head and cool her insides.
