Chapter 303: How Could I Have Forgotten?

While Crystal was in the shower, Nathan picked up his cell phone and sent Vic a text message. "Has the bracelet been finished yet?" he asked.

"It is done," Vic replied. "I haven't picked it up yet, though. Do you want me to pick it up now?"

Nathan replied that he did, and as he put his phone away, he began to laugh. Crystal had escaped him before, but with what he had in mind, that would never happen again...

The next day, Crystal was rudely awoken by a hard tug at her wrist. Her eyes popped open, and when Nathan saw the startled look in her eyes, he burst into gales of laughter.

"What's this?" Crystal growled.

"It's time to get up," he replied. "Don't be such a slacker."

Crystal sat up in bed, swung her legs over the edge, and kicked him in the shins.

"Ouch!" Nathan yelped. His pupils dilated, and he cursed her out.
