PRESENT DAY:
Jake part
Seeing Richie play the piano really made me remember the past.The past i couldn't shake off, the past that made me indifferent with women.Annabelle Harryson,that woman changed everything i knew about commitment and relationship.She was using my son to make money from me and i would have done everything for her.She betrayed me and even had an affair with my best man.I wanted a love able family which was including her and my son but all she wanted was money and nothing else. Seeing my son lack a mother figure in his life makes me feel like i haven't done the best for him and it breaks my heart. 'Dad am done playing,lets go to the musical before its late.I don't want to miss the opening' Richie said snapping me out of my thoughts. 'Yes Richie,lets get going' i answered standing up.We both moved to the limo waiting outside for us when my phone rang.Seeing who the caller is, i sighed 'hmmmm,Richie go wait in the limo for me, i will be right there in a minute'. 'Okay dad' he entered the limo.'Talk to me Scott' I answered the call.'Jake there is a girl on the field right now threatening to beat the contractor up if he makes a move on the field. She claims her dad owns the field, Jake i really don't know what to do right now' he said in a frustrated tune. 'I will take care of it tomorrow, right now i need to be with Richie. Just leave the field for today and get me every detail about that girl' i hung up. Scott is a hard working guy but always shrinks under pressure. I entered the limo seeing Richie adjusting his bow and i helped him set the bow well. 'Dad how do i look?' he asked ' you look charming Mr Richie' he giggled as i answered. 'Robert, we are ready to leave' i tell our chauffeur.
Crystal part:
'We just moved to America and those men have the nerve to try and destroy dad's field,the only thing he left for us mom!, they claim they are the new owner of it' i said in frustration.I just couldn't understand what was going on anymore. Dad had left us with debts to pay, leaving us really poor to the extent we sold our house in Canada just for us to move to where his last property was and now some people claim they own it.I just can't help but be angry at everything right now. 'Mom are you okay?' i asked seeing that she was silent the whole time i was talking. I walk up to her seat and touch her to see if she was okay. 'Mom?' i called her, 'am fine sweet heart, its just that i was thing about what you said' she answered me. I sighed as she responded, i thought something was wrong. 'Maybe those men are right Crystal, you shouldn't have threatened them' she sighed as she spoke. 'Mom you sure you okay? have you taken your drugs today? i had to ask because she was sounding really off this night. 'Yes i did, am just worried about you' she answered. 'Me? i really didn't know what my mom was worried for about because look at me i'm fine. 'Mom why are you worried about me? am good' i told her.
'That's not what i mean Crystal, you've been taking care of us since you were kid and something is always happening because of your dad and you ain't complaining and am worried about that' she said with a lot of concern. 'Hmmmm', i sighed 'mom why would i complain?, you are my only family and i want us to be happy. I love you mom and i will do anything to make you happy' i answered her and hugged her. I know how worried she can get and i really don't want that because of her health. 'Mom i just remembered, i have an interview tomorrow and i need your blessings so i can get the job' i told her as i bend down my head for her to kiss it. She kisses it and smile 'you will get it sweet heart because you are the most intelligent and loving person i know' she said. I walked back to the kitchen to bring the chicken for dinner and i just couldn't help but think about our situation and everything that has been happening. Dad had sold everything and even borrowed. He had invested everything into his last business he went but never returned. Now some dudes wants to take the only thing remaining of my dad, what if dad sold the field like the other things he sold or what if this people are just trying to take advantage of our situation. I really don't know what to do anymore. What if i don't get this job, the pay is mouth watering and will help me settle all the debts we are in. But i have to check the field before i go to the interview since it starts by 11:00am. 'Crystal stop staring at the chicken' my mom shouted bringing me back to reality. 'So sorry mom,' i said carrying the chicken to the dinning table 'dinner is ready' i said with a singing tone. 'It smells delicious sweet heart' she complimented. 'Thanks mom' i answered with a giggle
'A blissful morning to you sweet heart' my mom greeted me a kiss on my fore head. 'Good morning mom, have you.....' 'yes i have Crystal' my answered me cutting my question. 'But mom you didn't let me finish' i complained. 'That's because i already know what you were about to ask, have you eaten? have you taken your medication? i know you sweetie and where are you heading so early? your interview is suppose to start 11am? she asked. 'That's because am heading to the field to check if those contractors are still going to touch dad's field' i answered hanging my bag on my shoulder. 'Sweet heart why don't you let them be, i just don't want you to be caught up in your dad's affairs besides we aren't even sure if what they are saying is true, maybe your dad really did sell the field to them' she sighed. Mom is really going to let this people get away with this, 'mom please let me take care of this and i love you, i said with a kiss on her fore head. 'Wish me luck' i yelled as i stepped out of our apartment. I knew mom was worried about the whole issue but am not gonna let them take away what's rightfully ours.
'So you still have the guts to come back here, i thought i told you what will happen if i see you in my dad's property' i yelled ready to beat the crap out of that annoying guy call Scott. 'You must be Crystal' a masculine voice said behind me. I was compelled to turn and behold a man in his late twenties was standing like a god in front of me. He was tall and masculine. emerald eyes that could make a girl lose her mind and his face!! so handsome and dreamy. What if he was shirtless, that would be breath taking and seeing him in his grey suit makes me wish he was mine.... wait what happened to me? Why am i thinking about a man i don't even know, get it together girl. 'Are you done staring at me' he asked snapping me out of my day dream. 'And who the hell are you Mr' i asked rudely. Who was this hunk of a guy and why is he here? He looks really sophisticated. 'I own this field and you are disturbing and stopping my workers from doing their jobs' he answered calmly. 'Wait, what?' who the hell is this guy? Telling me am disturbing his work in my dad's field. 'Who gave you the right to come to my dad's field with all this machine and start work' i stressed the word work so he would know i wasn't kidding here. 'Who do you think you are coming here and claiming this is yours, my dad owns this field and you are violating and trespassing by coming here to work!' I said with me standing on my toes so i could look him in the eye.He was staring at me with calmness and i just couldn't read his expression. Who he look so good and still be the bad guy? A smirk appeared on his face and the next thing was his lips on mine. He was kissing me and i just stood there allowing him to penetrate into my mouth. He freed my mouth and i was short of breath, he just stole my first kiss. 'How dare you do that to me? you just stole my first kiss' and i said that out loud without thinking. 'Miss Crystal, your dad sold this field to me and still owes me a lot of money. Why don't you come by to my office and lets talk about how you will pay me back the money he owes' he replied calmly as if he was the victim here. I'm trying to process the whole thing that just happened now and i just can't understand anything right now 'then why did you kiss me Mr?'. 'Jake, that's my name Miss Crystal and i felt you needed it to calm your nerves and it worked because you ain't shouting anymore' he replied. This man is really getting on my nerves and he doesn't feel remorseful about it. 'Do you do this to every girl you see?' i asked in anger. 'No i don't, any other question?' Really, did he just say that to me? i gonna make him pay for this. 'Am gonna make you pay, just because you wear an expensive suit doesn't mean you can do want you want' and my alarm hoots 'sh*t am gonna be late for my interview' as i realize the time. 'And you Mr Jake, am not done with you at all, i will be back and you won't touch my dad's field' i said with a warning tone.
Thank goodness i made it just in time but this place huge, no wonder their pay is mouth watering. Working here will be really cool and i could pay off our debts in no time and still deal with that prideful man but i need to concentrate on this interview. 'Miss Crystal' a lady in skimpy but expensive gown called. 'Yes ma'am, am Crystal' i answered standing up from my sit. 'They are ready to see you' she said nonchalantly. She looked really sophisticated. 'Thank you' i said with a smile on my face. She didn't answer but i was fine with that. I just want to get this job and be able to pay off our debts. The top floor or should i say the pent house floor is really beautiful, i walked to the big golden door and pushed the door open.
I walked to the man sitting down facing the window and he looked familiar even if i couldn't see his face. 'Excuse me sir. am here for the interview' i said with a hushed tune. I kinda feel awkward right now and he turns to face me. Oh no!
