Face to face with Crystal

Watson felt his heart skip a beat when he finally cornered her. There was desire in his eyes, and Crystal could see it clearly.

He wanted to clear things out with her and claim her again.

He didn't mean to roughly pull her, when she let out a cry he immediately took his hands off her elbow, and placed it on either sides of her head.

He could feel the heatness coming up to her cheeks.

If anything, she looked more beautiful than before.

Her eyelashes were perfectly battering in confusion and then in shock, it was amusing for him to see her finally loose her facade.

Her ignorance earlier in the conference room was not doing good to him at all, he wanted to ask her a thousand number of questions... but before that he wanted to kiss her and feel her warmth engulfing him.

So he leaned in, and smelled her....

His forehead touched hers, and lips were about to meet....

Just then Crystal snapped back to reality and pushed him hard, he lost his balance but did not fall to the ground.

She was staring daggers at him, she wanted to yell at him for touching her... but she didn't want to gain anyone's attention in the office.

Rumours would quickly spread like fire.

She gave him a disgusting look and turned to walk towards the elevator, without uttering a single word.

That hurt hard.... to Watson.

She didn't utter a word!!!!

She didn't even acknowledge him in the conference room, except Orlando.

Before she could leave again, he came ahead and blocked her way.

He placed both his arms wide so that she could not escape the passage.

Crystal was really getting pissed, but more than that her heart was beating frantically.

The man she was avoiding was now sticking like a glue to her.

She didn't think that he would still want to talk to her after all that has happened in the past.

She didn't even search about him in the last seven years. Nor did she think about his relationship with Victoria.

It was all over for her that day....the day she was tortured.

In addition to that, 'I would destroy you.....' kept ringing in her ears.

"Talk to me" he whispered.

Crystal sighed and brushed past him.

He caught her again by her elbow.

This time Crystal, caught his hand holding her elbow by her other hand and twisted it.

"Don't you dare touch me, Mr.Watson." she then dropped his hand and rubbed her hands with her handkerchief, as if he were some dirt.

Watson felt his heart clenching in anguish.

What has happened to his Crystal....????!!!

He also knew, somewhere he was to be blamed for her change.

"I will touch what belongs to me." he would not back down now and he'll let her know that she is his and only his forever.

Crystal rolled her eyes and scoffed, "I'm not your plaything Mr.Watson.

I DO NOT BELONG TO YOU."

"You are angry.... that's why you are saying that." he was trying to reason her out.

"It's okay, I deserve it... but please know that I'm yours and you are mine. Only mine."

"I am not yours... Get that straight into your head Mr.Watson. I am not your Victoria!!!" she screeched.

Her words hit him hard.

He wanted to tell her about his mistake, about his misjudgement, but before that she ran into the elevator and fled.

He saw her body trembling, shaking with anger or perhaps crying....

He could not let her go like this, quickly he made his way through stairs and reached the entrance.

What he saw made the air around him burn...

burn with jealousy.

There he saw his Crystal in the arms of Will, who was holding her with all care and affection.

They were freakingly hugging each other, just outside the office premises.

Before he could go and separate them, Deandre took him by the arm and dragged him to their car.

Crystal and Will got together in one car and left.

All the while, Watson was seething in anger.

He wanted to tear Will part by part.

He was not an agressive man like Romano or Deandre, but he literally wanted to beat the shit out of Will for touching her girl.

"How dare he touch her!!!" Watson finally let out his anger by hitting the car window.

"He touched her because she let him do that." Lucas answered camly.

At such situations, Lucas was the best person to speak and get the matters in the hand.

"She twisted my arm when I touched her and infact ordered me to stay away from her!!! And she let him touch her!!!!!!????" Watson vented in frustration.

He wanted her to be with him....instead of Will.

"Can't believe to see you acting like a jealous man." Deandre said, as he was driving the car.

"I can't believe Crystal twisted your arm.." Orlando said in disbelief.

"Yeah, even I cannot believe. Maybe after seeing Olivia beat Christano's bodyguards, Crystal too must have learned from her...." Lucas said, ever the observant man that he was.

"Wait a minute, now that you mention... I wonder how Olivia learned this? Because I never knew my woman was into this....And most importantly why?" Romano said in alarm, something was fishy for sure.

"Well, I think... with regards to Crystal's file, after her incident. You know they might have... just a guess."

Orlando guessed. "I need to search more about this..."

The boys thought about it and it actually made sense.

"Even I have to research more about Crystal. What ever happened to her in my absence."

Watson clenched his fist again and closed his eyes.

He felt mentally exhausted...

"I'll help you with that....Gotta search on my woman too." Romano offered, patting his back.

"Happy that you both found your woman.... We three are yet to find ours..." Deandre commented, his words were true and sad at the same time.

"I'm sure we'll find all of them soon. Now that Olivia and Crystal are out... we will soon find them as well."

Romano assured them.

"Oh and one more thing, Watson..." Deandre said nervously, eyeing his reaction through the rear mirror,

"When Crystal came running through the elevator, she was all flustered.... at first I thought it was because of meeting you... but then I saw her breathing heavily and Will rushed to her side..."

"What??????!!! You are telling me now." Watson roared.

"Watson, you weren't in the right mind that time. We waited for you to calm down." Lucas said, leaving no rooms for agruements.

Deandre continued, "Anyways, as she was breathing hard, Will got something out of his pocket for her to breathe.

If my assumptions are correct, she got asthama."
