FAMICS APARTMENT
Sebastian got to the pool as he couldn’t sleep. He was shocked to see Ivory there as well. She’s on a short blue skirt and sleeveless crop top.
“It’s like we are destined to keep meeting each other today.” He joked and Ivory turned around upon hearing his voice.
“I’m guessing you can’t sleep too?” She smiled and he nodded, sitting beside her.
“Aren’t you cold?” He asked, putting his legs into the pool.
“Not really. I come here almost every night.”
“Why? is it another FAMICS routine?” He chuckled.
Ivory rolled her eyes at him.
“I come here to clear my head.” She sighed
“i take it the FAMICS are going through a though time now? I noticed here is kinda empty.” Sebastian said.
“I just feel bad I can’t do anything to help. Chrystal just called me. She said her father said she would be living with her mother from now on.” Ivory sighed.
“Is that not a good thing?” Sebastian raised a brow.
“No! She abandoned Chrystal as a baby and now she’s back to act like the all so caring mother. I f*cking h@të her already. My poor Chrystal must be going through a lot right now and worse is that she leaves tomorrow.” Ivory rushed her words.
“Sorry I said that.” Sebastian frowned. ‘What kind of mother does that?’ he asked within.
“And now my Sway Sway is having a heartbreak because of her father’s condition. He’s been in surgery for six hours now and Fiona is there to support her but even Fiona is heartbroken with the breakup with Caleb.” Ivory muttered. She felt like crying already.
“I’m really sorry. I know how it feels to feel useless.” Sebastian sighed and she looked up at him.
“Useless is a hard word to classify it.” She frowned.
“Forgive me. I know I’m not the best person you’d want to confide in as y’all probably h@të me.” He said.
“h@të you? of course not. You’re like a legend now. The only student to ever top the FAMICS. You’re cool.” Ivory smiled.
Sebastian chuckled.
“It’s just a dumb test. Anyone can top it.” He shook his head.
“Anyone can top it but no one can pass the FAMICS. But anyways that’s not happening again.” Ivory winked.
“Is that a challenge?” Sebastian furrowed his brows.
“No it’s a fact. We would never let that happen again.” Ivory said seriously.
“Okay, challenge accepted.” Sebastian said jumping into the pool. He dive deep that Ivory couldn’t see him, especially since it’s nighttime.
She looked keenly at the water but he still didn’t surface. She began to worry thinking he drowned himself.
“Se…” Ivory trailed off screaming as Sebastian dragged her by the leg, pulling her into the water.
“What the f*ck!” She yelled, holding her chest.
Sebastian kept laughing as the look on her face is really funny.
“What? you needed to cool off.” He winked and she smiled.
“I thought you had drowned.” she frowned.
“I’m practically a fish in the water. Drowning is not in my dictionary.” Sebastian smirked.
“Let me race you then.” Ivory said and started swimming to the end immediately.
“Hey that’s cheating!” Sebastian yelled going after her. She reached the first end before him but he didn’t even give her that opportunity again as he reached the second before her.
“How did…” Ivory couldn’t complete her sentence. Sebastian kept laughing at her and she noticed how handsome he is especially when smiling. She smiled satisfactory as he did succeed in taking her mind off things.
“Lets go in before you catch a cold.” He said getting out of the pool. Ivory wanted to come out but she started having cramps. She usually swims with Swayer before but all of a sudden she began having usual leg cramps and the doctors advised her to stop swimming for a while.
“Hey are you okay?” Sebastian asked but noticed she’s having a hard time staying on the surface. He immediately dived back in, grabbing her by her waist and swimming to the edge. He carried her out of the pool, walking into the house immediately.
Ivory didn’t even have the strength to talk as the cramps were still there, hurting like hell.
Sebastian placed her on the couch, crouching down to take a look at her leg. The moment his hand grazed her skin, Ivory shivered but he didn’t notice this. He held her leg firm and began massaging it gently to reduce the cramps.
Ivory bit her lips, staring at his wet face and the seriously on it as he tended to her. She couldn’t describe what she is feeling at the moment but she just knew she didn’t want him to stop what he’s doing.
“Is it better now?” Sebastian asked still massaging her leg. He’s also had cramps once but it never happened again after that.
“A little.” Ivory muttered. She sneezed and Sebastian stopped, letting go of her legs immediately.
‘F*ck Ivory why do you have to sneeze now.’ She cursed herself within the moment Sebastian let go of her leg.
“Where is your room, you need to have a warm bath and change into something dry.” Sebastian said carrying her princess style.
Ivory rested her head on his broad shoulder, smiling sheepishly.
She is really enjoying this special treatment.
“I think I should have cramps more often.” She giggled.
Sebastian paused, looking down at her.
“Why?”
“Because I never receive such tender care on a daily but see how you’re treating me like a princess just because of a stupid cramp.” She chuckled.
Sebastian only shook his head, climbing the stairs
“Where is your room?” He asked and she raised her hand up.
Sebastian’s eyes widened as he still had stairs to climb. He was trying to silence the fact that she’s really heavy.
“Why didn’t you pick a room closer.” He groaned.
“Sorry.” Ivory muttered, tightening her hold around his neck.
“Try not to strangle me at least.” He smirked and she immediately loosen her hold, blushing slightly.
He got to her room and placed her gently on the bed.
“Next time, swallow your pride and be safe.” He said folding his arms across his chest.
“Swallow my what now?” Ivory frowned.
“Exactly what I said. If you had accepted that I’m a better swimmer than yourself, this wouldn’t have happened. Go on and bath now. Goodnight.” He said turning around to leave.
“Seb.” Ivory called and he turned around. ”Thank you.” She smiled and he nodded before leaving the room.
Ivory dropped to her bed, holding her chest. She kept on smiling hard until her cheeks started hurting before she realized she’s smiling too much.
“What the hell of wrong with me?” She asked herself covering her face with her palms.
NEXT DAY.
LANG RESIDENCE
Chrystal ignored the knock on the door as she knew it’d be her dad or step mom checking if she’s all packed up.
Her box is still empty as she is hell-bent on staying in this house.
“Chrystal you can’t stay in there forever. Your mother will be here soon.” Brianna called knocking again.
“I can and I will.” Chrystal said covering herself with the duvet.
The doorbell rang and Brianna left to go get it.
As expected, it’s Camila.
“Morning.” Brianna said smiling nicely.
“I didn’t come for pleasantries. I’m here for my daughter.” Camila said with a frown.
“Can you at least come in and have a seat. Chrystal is still packing.” Brianna said opening the door wide for her.
Camila rolled her eyes, entering the house. She sat down reluctantly, crossing her legs.
“Can I get you anything?” Brianna asked. Beverly just entered the leaving room, mulching on an apple.
“Morning mom.” She said kissing Brianna on the cheek.
“Morning princess. Say hi to our guest please.” Brianna said looking at Camila.
“She is the one taking Chrystal away. Why should I say hi to her. I h@të you lady!” Beverly yelled running out of the living room before Brianna could scold her.
“I am really sorry about that. The kids are really close to Chrystal. Can you please just reconsider your decision, you can still come and visit her anytime you want but please don’t take her away.” Brianna said sadly.
Camila acted like no one is talking to her, looking at her nails.
Brianna sighed, leaving the living room.
Brian also refused to leave the room. He didn’t want to be there when his daughter would leave. It’s hurtful enough she’s leaving and he can’t do anything to stop it and seeing her leave would even break him more.
Chrystal got out of her room, walking towards her father’s room. She knocked on the door slowly but no one replied.
“Dad?” She called and almost immediately Brian opened the door.
“Princess.” He said sadly, pulling her into his embrace.
“Daddy. I don’t wanna leave please.” Chrystal cried, hugging her father tight.
“I know princess. I know.” Brian said hugging her tight.
Brianna saw them from afar and she too started crying. She really loved Chrystal like her own daughter and it hurts seeing her and Brian like this.
She walked up to them and joined in the hug. Chrystal removed one hand from her dad, putting it around Brianna.
“I love you so much princess. Always remember that.” Brian said before letting go.
“Where is your box?” Brianna asked seeing she’s not even dressed like someone going out.
“I’m not taking anything out of this house. I’ll leave but my things remain.” Chrystal said coldly.
“Daddy, can you walk me out?” She asked and Brian nodded. He held her hand tight and led her downstairs to meet the w*tch.
Camila got up immediately she saw the strange looking girl which she assumed would be her daughter. She hasn’t seen her in seventeen years so it’s normal for her not to know what she looks like.
“You must be Chrystal, you’re so beautiful.” Camila said spreading her hands out for a hug.
Chrystal hugged her dad and Brianna tight before walking out of the house, leaving Camila hanging.
Camila shamefully brought down her hands and sighed.
“I will be leaving now. Good day.” She said to Brian, leaving as well.
Brian smiled a bit as he knew Chrystal would definitely give her a hard time.
“Why are you smiling?” Brianna frowned. ‘Isn’t he supposed to be sad?’
“Because my dear, Camila doesn’t know what she’s getting herself into. She’s in for one hell of a ride.”
