I FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU - EPISODE 20

Everyone was already on holiday. Chrysler and her mum are baking cookies for her birthday while waiting for the cake to arrive.

Shortly after, the cake arrived and the cookies were ready. Cynthia, Chrysler’s mum, set the table and prayed before they both placed their hands on the cake to cut it.

“Okay, we’re gonna cut this cake in 3, 2, 1”, Chrysler and Cynthia counted together and pulled the knife down and the cake was cut.

Chrysler fed her mum with the cake and her mum did the same. Food was served and they started eating.

“When you’re done, go and change, we’re going to K. Disney world”, Cynthia said happily but was soon replaced with a slight frown.

“Why aren’t you excited. You’ve always wanted to go there ever since you were little so what changed” Cynthia asked

“Nothing changed mum. It’s just that I want to celebrate my birthday with my friends this time”, Chrysler pouted.

“Oh, so you’re ditching me right”, Cynthia asked with a sullen look.

“No mum, you know I can never ditch you. I just want to celebrate my birthday with my friends”, Chrysler reasoned.

“It’s okay, I understand”, Cynthia smiled and just as Chrysler was about to reply, a call came in from Steph. Chrysler excused her self and picked the call.

“Yo Steph”, Chrysler said and removed the phone from her ear because Steph was screaming loudly.

She was scolding Chrysler for bit being at White’s house early.

“Dress up fast, I’m on my way to pick you”, Steph said and hung up before Chrysler could say anything.

Chrysler sighed and ran upstairs to her bathroom. She had to bathe because of the flour that poured on her face while she was baking with her mum earlier.

She finished taking her bathe and changed into a casual wear.

She was wearing a pair of white joggers with a tight black crop top that exposed her flat tummy and wore a white jacket over the crop top.

She braided her hair and left some strands to fall, she applied a light lipstick and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled and packed a few things for the sleepover.

“Pimmmmm”, a car horn sounded and she looked outside her window and saw Steph approaching her house but something else caught her attention. She saw a figure sitting at the driver’s seat and she wondered who he was inwardly.

“Good afternoon Mrs Stone”, Steph greeted with a smile.

“Oh you’re here Steph. She’s upstairs if you’re looking for her”, Cynthia said with a smile and Steph immediately headed for Chrysler’s room.

Chrysler and Steph both opened the door at the same time. Steph gushed over Chrysler’s clothes.

“Babe you look hot and sexy. I’m sure Justin won’t be able to take his eyes off you today”, Steph said with a wink.

“Can we go now”, I said and she pulled me down the stairs really fast.

I waved my mum bye and she insisted on walking us to the car. When we got there, someone came out and I stared at him with broad eyes.

“What the heck is Justin doing here”, I thought inwardly with thin lines forming on my forehead.

As if making his presence known was not enough, he stepped forward and pulled me into a tight hug. He still smelled as nice as ever.

When he pulled away, he greeted my mum but she ignored him and asked me the question I was dreading the most.

“Who is he,,,,is he your boyfriend”, Cynthia asked with her brows raised up.

“Yes mum”, I replied honestly with my head down and both my mum and Steph screamed.

“What”, they chorused.

I know Steph will be mad at me because I didn’t tell her I was already dating Justin and it’s all his fault. He told me not to tell anyone of our friends and now again, he showed up at my house causing another trouble.

“Young lady, you better start talking”, my mum demanded but I couldn’t do that now, I was already late.

“Don’t worry mum, I will explain when I come back”, I said and heard my mum release a scoff.

“Bye mum”, I said and she nodded and walked back inside. I could tell she was angry with me.

I turned to Steph but she looked away and entered the car leaving me and Justin outside.

“This is all your fault”, I said with an angry look.

“I’m sorry baby”, Justin said softly but I was too angry to talk so I entered the car.

Justin released a sigh and bit his lips before entering the car to drive.

“Steph I’m sorry”, Chrysler apologized for the umpteenth time but she refused to say a word to Chrysler.

“Okay what can I do to make it up to you”, Chrysler said and for the first time since they were on the road, Steph looked at Chrysler.

“Nothing, just tell me why you hid it from me”, Steph asked.

“I never wanted to hide it from you but he said we shouldn’t tell any of our friends. He wanted to surprise you guys,,we didn’t know it would turn out this way”, Chrysler said and bit her lips hard.

“So that’s why you couldn’t tell me,,,your best friend”, Steph said disappointedly.

“I’m sorry Steph,, please forgive me”, I begged and she looked at me and sighed before pulling me into a hug.

“Awwwn”, Justin said from the driver’s seat.

“Shut up”, Steph and Chrysler said at the same time. Justin immediately kept quiet and continued driving.

They got to White’s mansion and got down from the car.

Justin wanted to talk to Chrysler but she ignored him.

Immediately Chrysler entered, the guys couldn’t get their eyes off Chrysler. She was looking like a model with what she was wearing.

“Stop staring”, Justin half yelled and Chrysler scoffed.

“Steph I’m thirsty”, Chrysler said and she went to the fridge to get water and gave it to Chrysler.

She drank the water and kept the remaining on the table.

Anytime Justin wants to speak to Chrysler, she ignored him or snubs him and it was hurting him real bad.

“Have you guys noticed that Chrysler has been avoiding Justin”, Jayden said.

“I noticed that too. What happened Justin”, White asked and he sighed.

“She’s angry with me because I didn’t tell anyone we were dating and Steph got mad at her as if that is not enough, I think her mum hates me”, Justin said at once.

“What,,,you mean you and Chrysler have been dating and you never told us”, Charlie asked .

“That’s not the important thing now,,,at least you know now. I’ve been trying to talk to her but she keeps ignoring him and it’s driving me crazy”, Justin said with tears threatening to fall from Justin’s eyes.

“Don’t tell me you want to cry because of that”, Charlie scoffed.

“You won’t understand,,,,I love her so much and here she is, snubbing me and you expect me not to be sad”, Justin said and wiped the lone test that fell from his eye.

“Sorry bro,,,, just keep on talking to her maybe she will finally answer you”, White sighed.

“I hope so because she’s really hurting me. I just want to hold her in my arms again”, Justin said lowly.

“Just take it easy”, Jayden patted his shoulder.

* * * * * * * *

“Why have you been avoiding Justin”, Steph asked.

“Nothing”, I replied and looked away. It’s his fault my mum is angry.

“There must be a reason,,you are really hurting him”, Steph said and I scoffed.

“He caused it”, I shrugged.

“Just speak to him”, Steph said and left.

I called her name but she didn’t answer. I looked back and saw Justin, that when I realized why Steph left. I immediately turned away from him but he came to sit in front of me.

“Baby”, Justin called but I didn’t answer him.

“Please say something, you’re hurting me”, he said but I refused to look at him.

“I can see you don’t want to talk to me. I will leave you. Bye”, Justin sniffed and stood up to leave but Chrysler dragged him back.

She gasped when she saw how red Justin’s eyes were. It was as if he’s been crying. She immediately felt bad and hugged him.

“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again,,,,I will not ignore you again please”, Chrysler begged and Justin encircled his arms around her waist and pulled he closer.

“It’s okay baby,,,,I was scared you will never speak to me again”, Justin said and kissed her hair

“I’m sorry”, Chrysler said and a tear drop fell from her eyes and touched Justin’s shirt.

Justin felt it and pulled away and looked at Chrysler and frowned slightly when he saw her crying.

“Why are you crying”, Justin asked cleaning her tears.

“I,,,made you cry. It’s all my fault”, Chrysler sobbed and Justin hugged her again.

“It’s not okay,,,stop crying”, Justin said and like magic, she stopped crying.

“Let’s go upstairs”, Justin said and held her hand and led her upstairs.
