Hot 'n' Cold

It was the final school day of the week, Crystal was walking through the college. She saw Brock, she stop him and asked,

‘‘Are you ready to lose today?’’

Brock replied, ‘‘Please, after this afternoon, you’ll heading home with your head down.’’ Then Brock saw Carol, he said,

‘‘Crud. There’s Carol. I’m going to ask if she wants to play with us.’’

Then Brock walked towards Carol. Crystal said to herself, ‘‘I shouldn’t be like this towards Carol or any other female, it’s not their fault that they find Brock handsome. I find Chad Murray handsome, I’m pretty sure Brock wouldn’t make a big deal about it if I was friends with him. But then again, that jezebel cheated on him, Brock could have trust issues after that.’’

Alyssa came and said, ‘‘Hey woman, what are you doing?’’ Crystal turned to look at Brock and Carol. Then Alyssa saw who Brock and Carol, she said, ‘‘Calm down woman, calm down. They’re just friends.’’

Crystal said, ‘‘He’s inviting her to our contest tomorrow.’’ Alyssa asked, ‘‘And you’re okay with it?’’ Crystal said, ‘‘Trying to. I’m trying to myself they’re just friends.’’ Alyssa said, ‘‘That’s true, I mean if Brock wanted to cheat on you, he would’ve done it already.’’

Brock asked Carol, ‘‘Carol, me, my professor.’’ Carol said, ‘‘Professor girlfriend.’’ Brock just shrugged it off and said, ‘‘And some other people are going to have little competition this afternoon, want to join?’’

Carol said, ‘‘Y’know, I thought you were a straight up guy. That you would say things straight forward and not make excuses. Apparently not.’’ Brock said, ‘‘Look, Carol. I wasn’t thinking of her when I told you, no. I didn’t know that I was going fall for her. I was going to give you a chance, but we started hanging out and we fell for each other.’’ Carol said, ‘‘Y’know, if you weren’t so handsome, I would stop talking you.’’ Brock asked, ‘‘So you’re coming?’’ She said, ‘‘Yes, I’m coming, what time?’’

Brock said, ‘‘Today after school.’’ Carol asked, ‘‘Where is it going to be?’’ He told her where.

Carol said, ‘‘I’ll be there.’’

Carol asked, ‘‘So, I can’t give you hugs anymore?’’ Brock said, ‘‘Nope, I’m in a relationship now.’’ Carol said bye and walked away. Then Brock came back from talking to Carol. Brock said, ‘‘She’s coming.’’ Brock said hi to Alyssa. Crystal just stared at Brock with her eyes squinted. Brock asked, ‘‘Why are you staring at me like that?’’

Crystal said, ‘‘See you at class.’’ Then Crystal and Alyssa walked to their classes.

The day went by, it was the last class. Brock entered Crystal’s class. He sat down as Crystal was waiting for rest of the student to come in. After fifty minutes, Crystal saw Brock, he made signs to cut it short. Crystal said, ‘‘Okay class, it’s Friday. I know you’re waiting to get out of here to have fun. So get out of here and enjoy your weekend.’’

The students left, Brock walked up to Crystal. He jokingly asked, ‘‘Ready to lose?’’ Crystal jokingly said, ‘‘I’m ready to see you cry.’’ Brock scoffed and said, ‘‘Yeah, not gonna happened. You’re going down.’’ Crystal said, ‘‘Not even in your dreams.’’

They went to their own homes, got dress in sporty clothes, and drove to the park. While driving there,

Crystal playing fully told Brock, ‘‘I’ll show what girlpower means.’’ Brock told Crystal, ‘‘Professor Davis, you truly don’t know who you’re messing

with.’’ Then they arrived at the park, they chose their teammates, and began to play. Crystal showed Brock how competitive she is. Crystal would make Carol look like an amateur. Crystal eliminated Carol, then Crystal allowed her jealousy to get the best of her. She began to talk trash to Carol, and the rest of the people was just staring at her. ‘‘What? You don’t have nothing on me.’’ Crystal said. It came down to Brock and Crystal. They brought the competiveness out of each other.

Finally after twenty minutes, Brock got the win for his team, and they left the park after that. Crystal and Brock went to eat. They arrived at the restaurant, they ordered, and a few minutes later, they ate. Brock prayed for his food, he finished praying, and began to eat. Crystal said, ‘‘Told you I was a tough woman.’’ Brock said, ‘‘Yeah, you’re tough. I still beat you.’’ Crystal scoffed and said, ‘‘Yeah, barely. Who knows, maybe I let you win.’’ In a playful manner.

Brock smiled and said, ‘‘Your mind games won’t work on me.’’ He added, ‘‘Boy, you didn’t hesitate to let everyone know that had something against Carol.’’ Taking a sip out of his drink. Crystal said, ‘‘Like I said, Do, not, touch, my, man.’’ Brock replied, ‘‘Speaking of me being your man, when do you want to get married?’’ Crystal said, ‘‘Soon, we still need to plan it.’’ Brock said, ‘‘We could start planning it right now.’’ Crystal said, ‘‘Well give me two months. I need to give a

heads up to the head of the college first.''

They left the restaurant, walked to her car, got in, and drove to Brock’s apartment. While driving there, Crystal asked, ‘‘Does the bible say we or you aren’t allowed listen to nonCHRISTian music?’’ Brock said, ‘‘No, but we believe that, that music is not from GOD.’’ Crystal asked, ‘‘Why?’’ He said, ‘‘I don’t know. I just was just brought up like that.’’ Then Brock said, ‘‘But then again,

‘‘Madagascar’’ one and two aren’t CHRISTian movies. Why is it ok for us to see those movies, or any G, PG, PG-13, movies?’’ Crystal asked, ‘‘How about rated R movies?’’ Brock said, ‘‘I try not to watch movies that has R rated sexual scenes or any explicit nudity. As for the violence? There I go again, why is it okay watch, Passion Of The Christ, (which it’s not really Jesus, it’s an actor playing Jesus.) and we can’t watch movies that hardcore violence? There’s some things I don’t get. Now, I don’t care to listen to non-CHRISTian music. But, I don’t see how it is ok for the

movies and not music. I get it if the song sends wrong messages, but when it’s clean like ‘‘Pieces Of Me’’ by Ashlee Simpson, I don’t see why is it wrong. Like, ‘‘Why can’t I’’ boy, that song has dirty lyrics.’’

Crystal said, ‘‘Sorry about that. I didn’t realized it said that.’’ Crystal asked, ‘‘You’re a Hispanic, right?’’ Brock said, ‘’Yes, I am.’’

Crystal asked, ‘‘Why don’t you speak Spanish a lot more?’’ Brock said, ‘‘I don’t know, I guess I allow my English to be more dominate.’’ Crystal asked, ‘‘Can you teach me?’’ He said, ‘‘Okay.’’

Crystal stared at him ready for him to teach her. Brock asked, ‘‘Now?’’ Crystal nodded her head, yes. Brock said, ‘‘Me gusta tus ojos verdes.’’ Crystal said, ‘‘Ojos means eyes, right?’’ Brock said, ‘‘Yup.’’ Crystal said, ‘‘You said, you like my eyes.’’ Brock said, ‘‘I said, I like your green eyes.’’

Brock left Crystal at her house, he said, ‘‘Okay, bye.’’ He kissed her, she said, ‘‘Yeaah.’’ Then she

began to talk gibberish. Brock laughed. Crystal said, ‘‘At our wedding day, I’ll tell you why I do that.’’

Brock said, ‘‘I love you.’’

Crystal said, ‘‘I love you too, Brock.’’ Crystal got down and walked to her house. Brock drove to his apartment.

Over the two months that Brock and Crystal were dating, Brock began to show Crystal how stubborn and brutal he could be. Brock didn’t let Crystal fully in. They would get into heated arguments.

Crystal would say, ‘‘No wonder Natalie left you. You’re impossible to be in a relationship with.’’ Since they loved each other they made up hours after they argue.
