Lethal Bride - Season 1 - Episode 26

CHRISTMAS VACATION “Enjoy your stay”, the escort bowed a little and left.

Crystal sat on the bed and felt
the sheet, it was silky. Then a
thought hit her.

“Easton where would you be sleeping?”
“on the bed you are sitting
on” he replied
“where would I be sleeping?
“on that same bed”, her eyes
widened a little “there is no way that would
happen”
“then what option do you
have”
“why didn’t you book
another room for me” “actually I thought about that, but it didn’t make sense
to me, this place is too big for
one person” “in that case I will sleep on the
bed and you would make yourself comfortable on the
couch”, she had a mischievous
smile on
“why in heavens name would
you want to sleep alone on
this large bed” “if it worries you then I don’t
mind the couch”
“don’t worry I would use the
couch”. She had a triumphant
smile on. She knew Easton
would want to please her. She watched him as he whistled
and arranged his things in the
closet. He seemed relaxed and
happy. She remembered what
he said at the reception.

“why did you say Mr. and Mrs. Easton?, we are not married neither dating, we
don’t even have any form of
chemistry between us,
nothing romantic between us
no spark at all, I’m more like a sister to you, you are my boss and I work for you”.

“I just thought it was the
proper thing to do and I
wanted to look responsible.

Anyway that’s not important, get yourself
together and settle in. The day
is still young; I would like us
to check out the restaurant”.
“alright”, she said as she
started arranging her things into the closet too. In no time
they had placed everything
into their right positions and
were ready to see restaurant.
She loved being away from
what she was used to, but the thought of she and Easton staying together bothered her
a little, it felt a bit out of place.

They got down to the
restaurant and were wowed
by what they saw. Everything down to the
sitting arrangement was
different from what they
were used to. Easton spotted
a table that seemed secluded
and pulled her towards it. He behaved like the perfect gentle man and pulled out her
chair for her. She thanked him
and sat down. She looked at
him and noticed something
different about him. He seemed at peace and happy but there was something
more than that but she
couldn’t place her finger on. A
polite and smiling waiter came
and took their order. The enzymes in her stomach became active; she
remembered that what she
ate on the plane satisfied only
one percentage out of the
hundred percentage of hunger she felt. She placed her left palm on her stomach and shut
her eyes.

“what is it?’ he sounded really
worried,

“I’m hungry”. He laughed, “once you are hungry everything stops making
sense to you. Don’t worry the
food would soon be here”. She
smiled and nodded. The waiter
came with everything they requested neatly arranged on a large tray and served them
with a touch of expertise.

“have a beautiful day”, the
waiter bowed a little and left.
Crystal smiled and looked at Easton, “I love being treated like royalty”.

“that’s who are”, he placed his
right palm on her hand that
rested on the table, “my
beautiful princess”. She looked at his hand on her hand and
pulled away gently and felt
somewhat uneasy by the
way he touched her. An
awkward silence lasted
between them until Crystal caught sight of a familiar figure that walked in with
the corner of her eye. She
turned to get a better view
and spotted Brian, she
frowned a little then drew the attention of Easton to who she saw.

“what does he want here?,
looks like he’s stalking us”,
she sounded curious

“calm down, it might just be a coincidence”, immediately
Easton finished his statement,
Brian turned and saw them,
he smiled and waved, he
seemed happy to see them. He
got up and moved towards them. Crystal felt uneasy and almost got up from her seat.

“Easton why is he coming
towards us?”
“relax, he means no harm”.

Brian got to where they were and stretched his hand quickly towards Easton. Easton shook
his hand firmly, then Brian turned to Crystal, held her right hand and kissed it. “A
beautiful evening to you my lady”, “good evening Brian it’s good to see you again. What brings you here?”.

“everyone knows that New
York is place for the Christmas
holidays, everywhere bustling with the spirit of
Christmas. Beautiful lights on
the streets. Gifts under Christmas trees, the colors and the love that feels the air”. He
inhaled and exhaled loudly “beautiful city. Anyway let me be on my way and leave
you two”. He shoved his
hands into his pockets, smiled
and left. Crystal let out a sigh
of relief “mehnn! I thought he was going to stay longer; he freaks me out anytime I see
him. When I see him I see Bruce”.

“get used to it, you can’t
change anything. Just enjoy your meal and relax, it’s Christmas”.

She took his advise and
resumed eating her meal,
nothing was going to ruin the
luxury she was experiencing, not Bruce, not Brian, and not even herself. She and Easton
talked on and on about so
many things. It felt different
because they weren’t talking
about killing a target, stealing or arranging a business with someone. After a long while
she felt sleepy and rubbed her
eyes, she covered her mouth
as she yawned.

“its about time you take a shower and rest”, Easton said, he got up and took her hand.

She didn’t like the way he
held her, she pulled her hand
away, “Can’t I hold my wife’s
hand again?” “I can’t be your wife Easton”

“meaning you can’t be with
someone like me” he smiled
revealing his white teeth. She
frowned and glared at him a
little, “Easton are you sure you are okay. Right now I have a slight headache, I need
to sleep”. She got up and
walked towards their suite,
he followed her. Easton paid
close attention to the way she walked, the way she took her steps with poise, he watched her arms as they moved while
she walked. Looking at her
from behind he discovered she
had a perfectly shaped hour glass body. He shut his eyes and increased his pace to walk
beside her, walking behind
her was going to make him
imagine things.

As soon as they got to the suite, Crystal got to the bathroom, took off her
clothes and had a quick warm
shower. After the shower she
remembered that she didn’t
take the clothes she would change into. She got pissed, what was she going to do?

She contemplated calling him
and telling him to help her
with her clothes. She toweled
herself and prayed that he would leave the room. He didn’t, she heard him
humming to a Christmas song
that was playing. She decided
she was going to call him.

“Easton”, she called out “yep”
“I need my shorts and a shirt,
help me bring them please”

“alright”. He got to the closet
and searched for what she
asked for. He found it and got to the bathroom door and knocked. She opened the door
slightly and snatched the
clothes from him. Easton
smiled and shook his head. He
had never seen her feel uncomfortable. He got back to the couch and sat down.

Crystal came out from the
bathroom dressed in her black
shorts and white shirt and
holding the clothes she removed in her arms. She frowned when she saw a
smirk playing on his face.

“wipe that smirk from your
face Easton, this is not funny”
“it is my dear, I have never seen where a wife is ashamed to dress in front of her man”.

She ignored him and folded
the clothes in her hands then
la!d down on the bed.

Two quick knocks on the door made Crystal groan.

Easton got to the door,
“who’s there?”
“its Brian”
“Brian?”
“yea”. Easton got a bit suspicious and frowned.

Crystal got up from the bed
when she heard Brian. “what
does he want Easton”, she
whispered with her arms
folded. “I don’t know”, he whispered too. Easton courageously open the door
and saw Brian holding a
banquet of red roses in his right hand.

“good evening Mr. Easton” “evening Brian” “red roses for the lady” he
stepped forward and gave the
roses to the already nervous
Crystal. “thank you”, she said
with almost a whisper. “you are welcome”
“how did you know the
exact door to knock Brian”
Easton asked with a suspicious
tone.

“errr, well I just discovered your suite is next to mine”
