22: Discharged from the hospital

 When she finished eating she laid back on the bed and grabbed my hand.

 

"I feel so much better after telling you everything Ivan," she appreciated.

 

"You don't have to be scared of anything Crystal. I won't judge you. You are very dear to me," I convinced. "Good night Crys,” I wished as I kissed her forehead.

 

She smiled back and started blushing. My heart had felt butterflies of that reaction. After she had fallen asleep I left for the police station. I walked in to discuss the consequences for Hunter. They informed that there have been other rape reports against Hunter by many girls. There will be a court hearing tomorrow. The evidence gathered by the police authorities were the security camera footage of Crystal's house where it was evident that he had raped Crystal many times. 

 

"I can not attend the hearing, but please make sure he gets the worse punishment," I yelled.

 

I did not want to spare Hunter. What he did to Crystal was unforgivable. I walked out of the station and headed back to the hospital. I could see the peace on Crystal's face. I went and laid down on the couch and fell asleep.

 

*the next morning*

The doctor came in to check on Crystal. He said that she had been doing better and would be discharged in a few weeks. He also talked to Crystal about the psycatrist and she agreed to see one. I was receiving a call from the police station. I went outside to receive it and they informed me that Hunter is sentenced to life imprisonment for one rape. He'll be receiving many more for the other rape reports. He deserved death. My only goal from today is to protect Crystal from any harm. 

 

*3 weeks later*

I had decorated Crystal's room with red and white balloons. I brought her red roses and a few boxes of chocolate. I left for the hospital after I finished decorating her room. She was so happy to go home I could tell from her face. Her body had finally recovered from all the bruises and pain. Her skin was clear like before and she was so happy about it. There was no stain on her body left to remind her of Hunter. She was the old Crystal. She was messing around in the car with me and created a good time. 

-------------------------------------- 

Crystal’s POV:

 

*at home*

I had opened the door to my room and wow! The room was decorated with beautiful roses and balloons. But as soon as I saw the chocolate, I ran to it. Ivan did not let me eat any chocolate or ice cream since I had gone to the hospital. I needed the sweet.

 

"This is so beautiful," I squealed.

 

"Not more than you," Ivan rejected as he stared at me. I could feel my cheeks blushing. I loved it when Ivan looked at me with loving eyes. I loved Ivan. I had finally found someone who loved me for me and was willing to accept me with all my flaws.

 

"Your appointment with the psycatrist is in 3 hours so get ready," Ivan informed.

 

"But I need to get some clothes from home," I said.

 

"No need," Ivan smiled as he opened the third door in my room which led to another room.

 

I walked in behind him and OH MY GOD! It was a whole queen wardrobe. All types of clothing, jewellery, makeup, bags, shoes and phone cases of all colours. I turned to Ivan.

 

"You didn't have to do all this," I insisted.

 

"But I did it anyways," he laughed.

 

"I'll see you downstairs okay," he said as he left the room.

 

I spent time looking around the wardrobe. It was a dream. I picked out a jumpsuit that had an off shoulder white crinkle body and a baby blue wide trouser. I picked out white medium length heels with white pearl jewellery, white glittery purse and white phone case. I took a shower and changed. I sat in front of the mirror and straightened my hair. I then rolled up the front of my hair into two rolls and pinned then back. I wore a hot pink shiny lip gloss with blue eyeshadow and normal face makeup. I walked downstairs to look for Ivan. I couldn't see him anywhere in the house.

 

"Ma'am, Sir is outside in the car waiting for you," his maid informed me.

 

"Oh, thankyou," I smiled as I walked out. I was walked out and saw Ivan cleaning the boot.

 

"Finally you've decided to come ouuutt," he said as his voice slowed down at the end. "Owww!" he yelled as he bumped into the door as he was taking his head out and staring at me at the same time. I giggled. I walked down to him.

 

"You idiot," I laughed.

 

"No you cutie," he commented as he checked me out. I looked away because I felt my cheeks blushing. he pulled me towards him locking his hands around my back.

 

"You're looking gorgeous Crys," he commented. I put my arms around his neck and started playing with his hair.

 

"You look good too Ivan," I giggled. He took a deep breath and gulped.

 

"Why do you do that to me?" he smirked. I knew what he meant.

 

"We should get going for the appointment," I teased. The whole mood changed.

 

"Mood wrecker" he whispered to himself. I laughed. I went and sat in the passenger seat, he handed me a lunchbox with food. “Finish it on the way we go there,” he commanded. I was really nervous when we got there. 

 

"You have to do this for yourself Crystal," Ivan encouraged.

 

I had to do it for myself. I didn't want my past to haunt me for my life. I needed to cope with it and get over it. Soon the psycatrist called me in. She was really lovely. I told her everything. Salmon and Hunter. She gave me coping strategies and ways to relieve stress. It was a whole 1-hour session. I walked out feeling light. I walked to Ivan and smiled. He could tell that I was feeling better. We went and scheduled my next appointment. Ivan decided to take me out for ice cream as a reward and we also went to the game centre. 

 

We got home at 6 and Ivan had planned a movie night for us. We both went into our rooms and changed. I chose to wear a light pink night dress and Ivan wore grey sweat pants and a shirt. We both sat down on the couch in the living room and started the movie. The movie was so funny and cute. I was watching this scene where the guy proposes his girlfriend but ends up proposing the wrong girl and his girlfriend was behind him.

 

"Ivan. oh my god, look he proposed the wrong girl," I laughed.

 

"Yeah," Ivan said breathing out.

 

I looked at him and he was looking at me. I could not help but feel butterflies in my stomach. But I didn't want to get into a relationship with Ivan before my mental health wasn't sorted. I cuddled with him so the butterflies could stop. But they didn’t. As time passed we both had fallen asleep.

Chapter 23: First Night together

  *1 YEAR LATER*

 

Crystal's POV:

 

I was a Alina's birthday party I wanted to rush home to Ivan. But then again, I didn't know if he was home because he was at a pool party with his friends. I decided to go over and grab some drinks. I drank too much since I had no attention. Alina came over after a while when she saw me lying around like an idiot with the alcohol bottle. Her and her sister tried taking it off me, but I didn’t give it. That baby tasted great. She got her sister to drop me off at Ivan's house.

 

I had stumbled my way in and up to Ivan's room with the alcohol bottle to see if he was here, but he wasn't. I opened up Ivan's cupboard and took a white shirt of his. I went into the bathroom and changed into it. His shirt fell just below my ass and fell off my right shoulder. I had only buttoned it up hallway up to my boobs. Me and Ivan had got close over the past year. He knew I liked him, and he liked me back but we still hadn't been official. I walked out of the bathroom and sat on Ivan's bed drinking the rest of the bottle as I desperately waited for him. I will confess today. That dumbo is too shy. I will be the man. I told myself. 

--------------------------------------  

Ivan's POV:

 

I had been at a pool party with my friends for the whole evening. I was planning a proposal for Crystal tomorrow so I couldn't be late when I got home. I had left the party at 10 and reached home at 11. I was in my shorts that had dried on the way home. All the lights were closed except my rooms. I went up to see who was in my room and I found Crystal sitting on my bed with a bottle of alcohol.

 

"Ivaaaaannnn!" she screamed nearly falling off the bed if I hadn't run and caught her in time. She looked at me with her drunk eyes and smile. I sat down on the bed next to her.

 

“Looks like someone has had too much of a drink,” I said.

 

"Woooahhh," she exclaimed as she looked at my abs. She started tracing them with her finger as she bragged "I can count."

 

"Really?" I sarcastically giggled.

 

"yes yes yes," she repeated as she nodded her head up and down. She was in my shirt and was looking so sexy.

 

She got up and jumped into my lap as she winged "Ivan why did you come so late?" She wrapped her legs around me with her head falling off my shoulder as she drew with her fingers softly on my back.

 

"Did you miss me that much?" I giggled.

 

"Yes," she moaned. It turned me on. My hand started rubbing her back. She moved her head and moved more closer to me, now with her naked pussy on my cock and her boobs pressing against my nude chest. 

 

I could feel my cock getting hard. Crystal adjusted herself as she felt it and started teasing it.

 

"Crys don’t do that," I warned. But she didn’t listen, instead she teased me more. I crushed her on my bed, now on top of her. She raised her finger to my lips and started feeling them.

 

"I spy with my little eyeee, something beginning with L," she sung in her cute drunk voice.

 

"hmm, lips," I smiled.

 

"Correct! Your lips are so softy softy," she complimented as she flicked my bottom lip.

 

"Do you want to try them?" I smirked.

 

"Yes," she smiled as her eyes squinted.

 

I crashed my lips onto her and kissed them softly. Crystals hands slid into my hair and brushed through them. I unbuttoned her shirt and took it off her as I kissed her down from her lips to her neck. I sucked on her collar bone, and she gave out a little moan. I trailed down to her boobs
