Loving the Playboy

 Crystal felt a little fluttering in her stomach and tried to she keep her face as neutral as possible "good afternoon sir, how can I help you?" "Please drop the formality. Its just Michael to you and I brought you lunch" he was still smiling What's with this man? dosen't he ever give up or was he too blind to see the handwriting on the wall. "oh thanks but am not hungry. Am too busy right now" she kept her eyes on the screen in front of her. "I appreciate your zeal. But I am the boss and I'm saying we take off sometime to eat. Just 30 minutes" he tried to convince her "I'm really sorry but as you can see I have a lot of work to do. I'm actually behind schedule" Crystal focused intently on her laptop, she didn't want to feel guilty. Looking at him will make feel like she was doing something wrong by saying no "Is it so bad that I want to

******Crystal felt a pang of sadness as she packed the stuffs in her room into the box she will be travelling with. She was going home today and although she was happy to finally become a graduate, she was still sad at leaving because she would really miss her room and the people around her but she consoled herself at the thought that it was part of life to move from one stage to another. She was to be travelling with Kelly that morning as they were both going to Lagos although they lived in different parts of the city. She lived in Ikoyi Lagos while her best friend lived in Victoria Island Lagos which means they will still get to see each other often. The two months following her defence had come and gone, results were out and certificates had been issued. Crystal made a CGPA of 4.31 a bit higher than her best friend who made a CGPA of 4.0. As she entered the bathroom she couldn't help but feel that so far things had gone really well

*******Working for Tonads publishing house was not as easy as she had hoped, although it was a thrilling experience to finally do something that she loved. Her major task was editing. Which she did alongside other editors in the company. Crystal woke up in the morning feeling great....she said her prayers and then glanced at the clock...seeing that she had barely thirty minutes to spare, she hurriedly got up to get ready for work. She looked pretty smart in her pencil skirt and light red top with silver heels to match... taking one more look around her cozy apartment she headed off to work. Today was really going to be a busy day... she thought as she buzzed into the office building. She made her way to her to her desk stopping every now and then to exchange pleasantries with the workers she passed on her way. As she got to her desk, she looked at the pile of papers stocked there and gave a lou

*******Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months with Crysral's mum getting better and better. She had just been declared a survivor and was discharged to go home. The next day did not come early enough for Crystal. She tossed throughout the night and was glad to see daylight. Her mum was coming home today so it didn't really matter whether she slept or not. After a quick shower, she hurried over to the hospital without even bothering to eat. As soon as she got to the hospital, she barged into her mum's room to find her mum sitting at the edge of the bed slowly munching a snack. Crystal rushed to her side "hey mum" she beamed giving her a kiss on her cheek "Hey yourself" her mum smiled at her "You get to go home today, are you excited?" she asked "Sure I am, this place is eating up my insides with boredom" her mum replied pretending to frown

********Damn this feelings.... Crystal thought as she got ready for work. A few weeks had gone since Michael asked her to lunch. She found herself thinking about him more than normal. Even though she wanted to be really close to him, she resolved to do the opposite. She didn't want to go through the heartbreak that was bound to happen if they entered a relationship. Like they say 'once a player; always a player.   She arrived the office about ten minutes late and quickly got on with the days activities. Soon Kelly popped in   "Hi girl" she greeted cheerily settling herself on one of the chairs.   Crystal looked at her friend closely. It seemed as if she had this glow around her "What's with the radiant look this morning" she asked her   "Its obvious isn't it?" Kelly smiled   "What is obvious?" Crystal looked confused   "OMG... Crystal he proposed... we ar
