A Y O

I pushed the doorbell of Crystal's house and was immediately answered by a 'who is it?' The door opened to reveal a white haired but not old woman with pale eyes. "Who are you?" She asked.

"Good afternoon ma'am. I am here for Crystal." I greeted.

The woman, Crystal's mum I presume, smiled as her eyes widened in realization. "You must be Ayo! You're even more handsome than I imagined! Come on in!" She gushed.

"Thank you, Mrs Meyers." I appreciated.

"Please call me Carissa. Have a seat. Want something to drink?"

"I'm fine, thank you." I said as I sat on one of the black leather couches. Mrs Carissa took a seat opposite me and stared at me for a very long time, it was starting to creep me out.

"Your eyes are so brown!" She complimented.

"Thank y- ah!" I screamed (very manly) when Crystal's super mom was near me in milliseconds. She took my hand in hers and poked my palms in utter amusement.

"So warm and firm...little bit soft." She mumbled.

"Er...thank you?"

"Kyaa! Look at those cat eyes!" She squealed and squished my cheeks together. Those are my cheeks! "Polite and friendly, plus Crystal talks about him a lot. Yup! Definitely husband material!"

For a wild minute, I thought she was into me.

"Mum! Do not trouble him!!!" Crystal's voice came from the hallway and I jubilated mentally.

"Hey Crys!" I greeted as I stood up a little bit too quickly. She was wearing a lavender tank top on jeans and held a purple jacket in hand. "You look good." I complemented. She blushed a bit and chuckled shyly.

"Cute! Lemme take a picture!" I forgot all about Crystal's mum. I like her but she's crazy. She took a picture with a camera I had no idea where she got from, and cooed about how cute we were together.

"Bye ma!" Crystal yelled and led, more like dragged, me to the door to escape more embarrassments from her mum but Mrs Carissa was persistent, she actually ran after us. "Mum!" Crystal groaned in frustration when the older white haired woman stopped in front of us. She is fast...scary fast.

Her eyes narrowed at me and Crystal and the temperature magically dropped. The look she gave was menacing, I swear her eyes were red for a moment.

"Now listen you two. As much as I want grand children, I value purity before marriage. No funny business young man." Sweat formed on my forehead.

'I wasn't thinking of that though.'

"If you pop my Snowdrop's cherry before you marry her, I would personally rip your testicles, skewer them and make them delicious and feed them to you. My husband would handle your dick and after feeding you, we would dump your body parts in the ocean. Got that?! I have a gun and a licence, big boy and I am not afraid to use it!"

I gulped. So this is where Crystal gets her vulgar speech from.

"MUM! Ugh, you're so embarrassing! He doesn't even like me that way! Aaargh!" Crystal flared up and flailed her arms around as she made her point but Mrs Carissa just did a 180 degrees personality change.

The white haired woman smiled widely as if she wasn't just threatening to feed me my balls seconds ago and pinched our cheeks. "Have fun cuties! Buy me some ice cream!" She squealed and shut the door.

"Wait..." I froze as I realized something.

"I'm sorry about mum but she meant every word she said so it's best not to get on her bad side...or my dad's." Crystal apologized but I wasn't paying attention.

Carrissa, a woman, touched me and I didn't flinch or develop any blood vision. I am getting better! I really am getting better!

"Yo...Ayo!" Crystal waved her hands in front of me to grab my attention.

"Uh? Oh..." I chuckled. "Everybody has embarrassing parents." I laughed. I was truly happy that I was recovering.

On our way to the venue, my mind suddenly went back to something Crystal back at her house. What did she mean by 'he doesn't even like me that way!?' She is so confusing!

-

"That was amazing. I enjoyed the show!" Crystal exclaimed excitedly as we walked out of the theatre. "I cried when the main character died, and the song was not helping. You had the guts to laugh!" She scowled at me.

True, I laughed when the main character died. It was just a funny coincidence with an inner joke and I laughed, only to get myself glares promising me of premature death for laughing at a sad moment. Sheesh! Excuse me!

We got to where I parked Ite and entered the car. "Let's grab dinner." I said as I started driving.

"Okay." She smiled and switched on the radio. A Maroon 5 song was playing so she leaned back and started singing along. I joined her at some point and we vocalized together, singing and laughing at Crystal's ridiculous imitation of Sia's high pitches.

We got to the Food House in some minutes and soon we were munching away and chatting happily. We talked about random nonsense and cracked jokes here and there but a particular topic bugged my mind. How should I make my confession sincere and direct? What if she rejects me? What if she doesn't like me and that was why she friend zoned me multiple times? (*cue the heart attack noises*)

"...yo...yo...Ayo!"

"Uh?" I stared dumbly at the silverette angel before me.

"You spaced out." Crystal told me bluntly. "What were you thinking?" She asked with her mouth full. I found it cute, rather than disgusting, the way her cheeks puffed like a hamster. I inhaled and let out a breath.

'It's now or never.'

"Crystal." I began. Somewhere at the back of my mind, I realized how awfully silent everywhere became. It was as if the others in the restaurant were listening in to our conversation but it was just my imagination. I can't believe how much of a nervous wreck I am.

"Yes?" Crystal's voice broke me out of my trance.

I decided to let my mouth run. "Do you know the reason why I took you along with me to the musicals and nobody else?" I asked and before she even opened her mouth to answer, I interrupted her by answering. "Because I like you...as a woman." I mentally face palmed at that sentence. 'As a woman?!' What am I? A forty year old?!

Crystal, who was sipping on her drink, immediately did the spit take on my face and started coughing ridiculously which attracted stares from the others in the restaurant. She frantically retrieved some paper towels and attempted to clean me up while coughing and trying to apologize.

"Is everything okay here?" We both turned to see the waiter. Perfect. I paid for our dinner and led Crystal outside by her hand. When we reached the car, she was calmer but I was not. She didn't like me back.

"I'm sorry." Crystal apologized and I shook my head, forcing a small smile. I might as well tell her now that she's heard it.

"Crystal, I really like you. A lot. Not just because you're pretty but because you're a wonderful person as a whole. I like your randomness and dare I say it, your vulgarity. You're weird and say strange things that sometimes makes me question your sanity but I like that about you." When I saw her frown I chuckled. "I know. Big words coming from the guy that dreads physical contact with girls but I-"

"Shut it!" Crystal screamed and I zipped my lips shut. I watched as she pulled her hair in confusion and winced. That must hurt. When I was about to say something, she suddenly looked up at me. "Don't toy with me, Ayo." She pleaded and I frowned.

"But I'm not. You know how honest I am!" I said.

"But you like Logan, not me!"

Blink

Blink

Logan... Who's Lo...oh, Logan. Wait, LOGAN?!

"WHAAATTT?!" I screamed. I was attracting nasty glares and unnecessary attention but I didn't care.. Crystal winced at the loudness of my voice so I calmed down a little. "I don't like Logan that way! He's my best friend and brother. Heck, he's a boy! What makes you think I'm attracted to guys?" I asked.

"Well, your words and actions help nothing. Like that morning in the lockers where you cornered Logan or that day in the garden when you confessed to Logan." Crystal mumbled while fiddling with her rapunzel like hair.

"Garden? Confess?" I mumbled to myself before realization hit me hard in the head. She must've stumbled in on my practice confession with Logan and misunderstood everything. I laughed. I couldn't help it, I just laughed. "Snowflake, you misunderstood everything." I informed.

"I did?" She asked and I nodded. "Oh. I feel dumb."

"Meh. People tend to question my sexuality a lot. Did I tell you of the time the gang went on a sexuality hunt for me and started filling my brain with porn? I am still traumatized." I smiled when Crystal laughed.

"Your fault." She giggled. "You showed no interest whatsoever."

"I was more of an asexual person." I informed.

I resisted a whine when I saw her house up front. Time seemed to fly when she was with me. I pulled up in front of her house and unbuckled my seatbelt before facing her.

"So, this is goodbye I guess." Crystal awkwardly stated.

"You didn't give me an answer." I informed.

"You didn't ask a question." She teased and I groaned. Crystal laughed at my groaning and unbuckled her seatbelt in preparation to leave. "See you at school." She said and made to open the door when she suddenly spun her head and gave me a chaste peck on the lips. "Does that answer you?" She smiled and was about to leave.

Oh no you don't.

I pulled her by the hand and brought my lips to meet hers in a blissful kiss. Crystal responded immediately, much to my happiness, and wrapped her arms around my neck while I rested my hands on her hips. I couldn't help it anymore so I stuck out my tongue and licked across her lower lip for entrance, which she readily granted.

Our tongues met and the fight for dominance began, which I won. She tasted sweet and addictive. A him escaped her when I sucked on her tongue and I groaned when she dug her fingers in my kinky hair. Alas, oxygen decided to make it known to us exactly how important it was and we separated, panting.

I smirked at her dazed state and cleaned the saliva trail off the side of her mouth with my thumb. "Good night Crystal."

"Y-yeah. Bye!" Next thing I knee, she was pounding on her door and calling for her mum. When she realized I was still watching, she blinked and waved awkwardly before running inside and closing the door when her mother opened the door.

I chuckled to myself and whistled all the way home. I just kissed a girl. I'm glad I didn't mess up the kiss because of my fear of physical contact. This feeling is nice and really warm.
