46 Old Hormones

As soon as Crystal met her grandmother's accusing stare, she bit her lips and looked towards her feet in guilt.

She knew she was in deep trouble now....

Shireen caught her ear with her right hand, "I cannot believe you! How dare you and Andrew go behind my back!"

"Granny...."

"Oh my heart pains so much.... the feeling of betrayal." Shireen places both her hands on her heart.

Crystal knows her overdramatic grandmother very well, she took her hands in her own and kissed the top of her hands softly.

"You know granny, we love you and we will never betray you."

"Haa.... lies..... All lies....After all these years of me begging you to take over our family business, you finally do it without telling me!! Your grandmother, who loves you the most in this entire world." She sobs and turns her face away.

"Don't be so dramatic my beloved wife, give Crystal some rest." Andrew slowly makes his way towards them.

"Oh, do shut up old man, it's you who need rest. And you will sleep in the guest room..... I'm so angry on you!! How could you not tell me before..." Shireen ranted on her husband.

Crystal gave her grandfather an accusing stare, "Grandpa!! You promised, we'll tell her together...."

Andrew raised his hands in air and defended himself, "Darling, you came in late.... You were busy with Will and your grandmother here quickly saw through my facade. Can't blame her cunning eyes..."

"Oh you... Andrew screw yourself!! You just didn't call me cunning..." she poked her index finger on her husband's chest.

Crystal was trying hard not to laugh out loud, otherwise she will be the one, on the receiving end from her grandmother's ranting.

"Absolutely not dear. I called your eyes cunning, not you...." Andrew looked towards his granddaughter for some rescuing.

Crytsal shook her head and mouthed, "All your doings"

Her grandmother immediately turned, "Oh see now, you both are privately talking... Do you think I'm too old to see. Am I..."

Before she could complete, Andrew turned her face and kissed square on her lips.

"Oh my God!!!!!!" they heard two girls screaming.

Olivia and Rain were watching the scene in front of them with wide eyes.

Crystal placed one hand on her head and closed her eyes, she was used to her grandparents PDA, but her friends weren't and now her grandfather was in some deep shit.

Shireen's whole face was as red as tomato. She glared at her husband with murderous glint.

'You are soo sleeping outside' was evident in her eyes.

"OMG! That was so cute!!" Olivia gushed.

"Damn! Old hormones are still active!" Rain commented, wiggling her eyebrows in mischief.

Shireen blushed furiously, while Andrew cleared his throat somewhat embrassed at being caught by young children.

"Crystal, you don't seem shocked. I take it then, you must be used to this lovely PDA." Rain was teasing them.

Olivia giggled, seeing the Stanley's speechless was epic.

Crystal groaned, "Rain and Olivia!!! Stop teasing..."

"Okay,okay! We see it's Stanley's secret... My lips are sealed." Rain actions of zipping her lips and throwing away the key.

Shireen walks over them and gives them a big long hug, "It's been so long!! Where were you two gone?? You didn't visit me! It's been one whole month! Is it because there's a new man in your life? Who is he? Tell me about it..."

"Darling, let the girls breathe... Come on in girls..." Andrew takes his wife's hand and they all make their way inside the house.

"Shireen, I love this home decor. The blue wall colour with green structure gives a fresh feeling." Olivia tells in awe.

"Yes indeed!! I prefer this one over the Luna Bungalow's decor. This feels refreshing." Rain compliments, taking a place near the dining table.

"Thank you my lovely children. Andrew here, quite disagreed to my choice of colours... I'm glad you all loved it." Shireen smiled sweetly and smirked at Andrew's direction.

Andrew groaned, "Fine! You win Shireen."

Crystal laughs, "Grandmother won the bet!!"

"Bet??" the girls exclaimed together.

"Andrew didn't like the colour, he said no one will like it. They entered into a bet, so far Granny got 3 votes and Grandpa got zero." Crystal stiffles her laugh, when Andrew glares at her.

"Awww.... poor Andrew." Rain gave him a sad look, as if understanding his pain, Andrew nods back as he is glad someone understood him.

"By now you should know, my dear husband never dislike your women's taste. If you do, then believe me her taste in men would also suck. I believe mine sucks..." Shireen grins evilly.

All the girls swoon at her play of words.

Rain whistles in encouragement, "Go Shireen.... Boo Andrew."

Andrew slumps his shoulder in defeat, "All the girls gangs up on me, everytime."

"Aww, I love you Grandpa.." Crystal hugs her grandfather.

"I love you too my princess." he patts her head lovingly.

"And I love you all..." Shireen joins in, hugging both Olivia and Rain tight to her chest.
