Chapter seven
Crystal
::::::Ring:::ring::::. "Hollo", "Oh Hi Crystal is Claire there, it's Zac." "No Zac, well yes she's here, but she's in the shower right now." I explained, "Well, okay, can you tell her I'll be there around 7.00 p.m., and Tay say's he'll pick you up then too, can you be ready? Did you manage to talk to Claire yet"?
"Yes I did Zac, but you know how she feels about me and Tay, so you know she isn't going to change her mind any time soon. I don't want to hurt Tay but I can't hurt Claire either, I have to take her wishes into account, I really don't know what to do Zac". "Well, it sounds like a hard decision to make, but it's gonna kill Tay, you know". "Yes Zac, I know, I'll speak to you later, Bye".
I had to hang up the line, I couldn't think about what I had to do next it was too painful. But hopefully what Zac was telling me about his older woman obsession is all this is to Taylor, for both our sakes really. He said they never last long before he moves on to the next, he told me it's as if he's trying to find something in these women that just isn't there. Although it's going to hurt me as much, I do hope that Taylor isn't in love and this is just one of his many obsessions that will just fizzle out soon.
The drive to the restaurant was very quiet; neither of us knowing what to say both knew what lay ahead.
I could see all the hurt in Taylor's eyes, as he sat across the table from me, neither of us really saying anything, conversation just seemed to fail, now and then a topic of unimportance was spoken then left us with the edgy silence that followed. We sat aimlessly pushy the food around the plate, neither of us eating anything, and not speaking, not wanting to say what had to be said.
The electricity between us was so intense I didn't know where to look or what to say, my hands were trembling, itching to reach out and touch him, but I couldn't, because then I'd have to look at him. He sat there endlessly tapping is fingers looking around the room, now and then his icy blue eyes bore into me threatening to melt my resolve. That's why I couldn't look, I had to stay strong.
When he reached out, his shaky hands enveloped mine, and said "Crystal, what happens from here, we have to talk about it, this silence is killing me".
When I looked and nothing but sadness shone back, the tears that had been threatening to fall all evening rolled down my face, even after I ordered them to stay put. Then to finish me off my lip started to quiver, "I don't know Tay", was all I could say my voice cracking with every untrue word spoken.
"Come on", he grabbed my hand helping me to my feet, "we can't say goodbye here". Was all he said as he placed the jacket on my shoulders and lead our way out the restaurant. "Where we going Tay", I said, as we approached the car hoping it wasn't back to my house to face Zac and Claire.
Stopping in front of his car, he turned to face me, cupping my jaw in his hands and wiping away my tears with his thumbs. "My hotel room, we can talk there, is that okay with you"? , He gently leaned in and kissed my forehead as I nodded a relieved yes.
He opened the Hotel room door and put the do-not-disturb sign on the handle before locking it behind him as we entered. He turned looked at me as I looked aimlessly around the room taking in the room that he lived in, it smelt like him, my legs felt like jelly as I sat on the end of the bed. He sat next to me, reaching for my hand; "crys look at me". Looking at him, I couldn't take it any more, I just flung my arms around him sobbing, this was my worse nightmare, I didn't want to live it. At the precise moment I wish I'd never met Taylor Hanson.
~ TAYLOR ~
We sat clinging to each other as if for our lives, both crying bodies shaking with every ragged breath and sob. I knew she was going to end it, I knew this was the end of a relationship that had just started to blossom and grow, and the end of a love that we both so wanted. I decided then, that I would never give her up, it doesn't matter how much Claire would create a wedge between us, I wouldn't ever allow this to be the end, and I'll never give her up.
"Claire isn't changing her mind", I whispered into the dark room, "listen Crystal, we have tonight, lets not think about tomorrow". I kissed her neck.
After a few drinks we were both loosening up a bit, we chatted, laughed and danced. The desperate feeling I had earlier was now being replaced by, a need to hold her, touch her, and make love to her one last time.
As we lay on the bed, I reached over pushing her bangs out of her eyes, and leaned in for a kiss. Our mouths met and all the pent up tension from the evening came to the surface in that kiss, we both realized just how much we needed each other. "Tay make love to me." She whispered.
~ Crystal ~
Our eyes locked, when I saw tears brimming in his eyes I decided to take the lead, I leaned him back straddling his hips, he ran his hands up my thighs lifting my dress above my head as I leaned in to unbutton his shirt. After lifting to allow me to remove is shirt and wifebeater. He leaned in and licked and sucked at my hardened nipple. My head fell back softly as I let out a stifled moan; he let go and flicked it with his tongue. My hips instinctively rocked on his forming erection, to increase the pleasure shooting to my clit.
"God Tay, hmmm…how do you do that", I said with a another loader moan.
"Do what baby"? His lips never leaving my nipple. "H..How do you turn me on so easy",i moaned. "It's not me, It's not you, It's us we're just so perfect together".
"Fuck. Crystal I'm gonna have to get naked soon, these pants are strangling my dick". I let out a whimper from the lack of contact as I leaned up onto my knees. I reached to open his zip; instead I ran my fingers either side of his erection's outline. He was rock hard, I knew he must have been in pain. Our eye's never parted as I felt the bulge, "Free it baby, I'm in fucking agony". His breath was sharp as he pushed his hips to reach my hand; I could see the desperation in his eyes. So I smiled and gently undid the button, and slid down the zip.
Pulling his leather pants as I peeled them from his body, I kept my eyes glued to Tay's, he licked his lips, and closed his eyes at I wrapped my hand around is penis and he let out a long ragged moan of relief from the contact.
My thumb gently rubbed over the head of his penis, spreading the wetness to increase his pleasure and his hips jerked up in response.
His eye's half opened as I leaned in to taste him flicking my tongue over his slit, "AHH…yes, fuck Crys, please…. suck it". He thrust himself to try to go deeper into my mouth. Instead I slid my tongue flat against the underside and down to the base to tease him more, applying pressure with my hand wrapped around the base, whilst sucking on his throbbing balls. "Hmmm, fuck, your driving me crazy, suck it please. "hmmm, I moaned as I took in the head deep into my mouth, revelling in the fact I was driving him insane with the constant teasing.
I swirled my tongue around the head and down the shaft, I knew he was getting closer to the edge when his hands wrapped around my hair, as he jerked himself deeper into my mouth, meeting every upward suck I made.
I felt the tightening of his balls and stomach as I took him deeper, and he let out a loud moan, as his head hit the back of my throat, and the first spurt of his sex filled my mouth. I sucked hard and swallowed every spurt that followed. Once I was satisfied he'd had all the pleasure he was going to get, I crawled up to meet his lips with mine.
"You….Mrs Greenaway….are …….Fucking……Hot!" he said kissing me between every word.
~ Taylor ~I woke beside her, the light from the bathroom shining in hitting the side of her face in the shadows, god she was beautiful her white hair splayed out over the pillow, my heart swelled with pride with the thought I'd been given her love. My eyes filling with tears again, part happiness and part despair, I was so afraid that I was going to lose her.
I knew I was fighting a losing battle with Claire, of course Crystal's not going to upset her, she loves her unconditionally, the same way my mom Love's me, so I know Claire will win in the end.
But I can't give up; I can't walk away from this woman I have fallen so completely in love with, there just has to be a way for us to be together.
I reached out to touch her, I wanted to wake her, make love to her before we say good bye, I stopped myself from touching her, and slid off the bed slowly so not to disturb her.
Crystal
I woke up feeling a tickle on my cheek, looking around, Taylor lay beside me, and his head propped up on one elbow Looking down at me. I noticed the light in the room was flickering, there were lit candles everywhere our bed was covered in rose petals all around me. I looked up at Taylor his eye's smiling back.
"Hey baby, did you sleep well". Brushing his soft moist lips over mine. "Hi Tay, is this for me"? I asked, looking all around me, Silly question of course it was. I reached my hand to his cheek, and his eyes closed at my touch. "You always make me feel so beautiful and loved Tay, whenever I'm with you I feel so comfortable and wanted". I slid my hand into his hair, pulling him onto me.
I had to feel him on me, all of him, he was so utterly beautiful it hurt, it hurt to know I had to let him go, and it hurt to think I may never feel as good as I felt right then. He leaned down and kissed my forehead, trailing kisses so lovingly down my face until he came to my lips. Our eyes closed as our mouths met, I felt his hands sliding down my arm and down my sides.
"Crystal", he said softly, opening my eyes and looking straight into his, the tears falling from his cheeks onto mine, he wiped it away, and kissed where it had wet my cheek. "You won't ever forget me will you, cause I…..I won't ever forget you, I'll want you forever, and I'll always need you and hold you here", as he touched his heart with my hand. His words were soft and so sincere it made my lip quiver and I had to swallow back the lump in my throat.
"Make love to me one last time Tay", I said reaching out with my hand to pull his lips onto mine. He kissed me slowly and passionately, that was the most sincere kiss I had ever had in my life, the love evaporated from every poor of his being, the lovemaking was so slow and meaningful, I wanted it to last forever.
Our bodies slid together in perfect synchronised unison, we came together, with His soft whispery words, "I won't say good bye to you, I can't do that", fell from his lips as he kissed me. We lay there still joined together for a long time, just breathing and touching each other, it was almost as if we were mesmerising, every inch of each other's bodies. As we lay there still inside each other, Taylor, reached a hand to cup my jaw, looking into his eyes he quietly said "I won't say good bye to you, I'll find a way to come back to you".
I had no idea what to say to make the pain go away, we lay there both crying silently, not wanting the night to end, and the inevitable good bye to happen.
But it did, we never actually said good bye, but as we approached my house during the early hours of the morning to find Claire and Zac saying good bye at the door. We both knew that for us, the good bye was real. Zac watched Claire close the door and turned towards the car. As he approached us I got out, he reached out and pulled me into a hug, "you okay", he said softly, I nodded "yes". "Is Tay gonna be all right, Crystal", he sad looking in to see his brother looking, pale and sad. "He'll be fine", I said pulling Zac into a firm hug before letting him go.
As I walked away from the car, Taylor got out of the drivers side, "Crystal" he called, I turned as he came up, and pulled me into him, the tears falling, his hot breath hitting my neck before rebounding into the cold night air. We stood for what seemed like forever, he finally broke away, leaned in and softly kissed my chilled lips as I shivered. He kissed my forehead, and whispered. "I'll be back for you". And he was gone.
I stood there long after the car pulled out of the drive, just staring at the road, as the car that carried the man I had fallen in love with disappeared into the distance.
