Call Me Your Darling
The entire room fell silent.
The men who had been drinking and playing poker fell silent to look at Crystal.
Audrey remained seated by Henry’s side, making it look as if she was the queen of the area.
Crystal was stumped.
If she were to say that she was joining in on the fun, someone would point out that she was not invited
to the event.
Yet, the relationship she had with Henry was not enough for her to say that she was there to catch him
red–handed in cheating.
Zachary had a fight with her a while back, so he was the first to target her. In a sarcastic tone, he said,
“Oh my, what winds brought you here, Crystal? Why don’t you stick around and have some fun with
us?”
Crystal turned to Henry, who was dressed casually that day in a black shirt and a pair of black. pants.
At that moment, he was sitting on the couch, smoking.
The promiscuous way he acted was something Crystal had never witnessed.
Henry glanced at Crystal, but he did not do anything to help her out of the awkward situation. Perhaps
he was unhappy.
All of a sudden, Audrey leaned over to peck a kiss on Zachary. With a half–smile on her face, she said,
“Zachary, stop teasing Miss Winters. I doubt a girl like her can be this uninhibited.”
Crystal tightened her fists.
Again, someone was implying that she was reserved and not a good sport. Are Audrey and Henry
parroting each other?
Henry’s gaze was dark the entire time.
After a while of staring at Crystal, he finally said, “Crystal, go back first.” His words embarrassed
Crystal. It made her seem as if she had come to catch him red–handed in cheating but did not have the
ability to actually confront him on the act.
Zachary snorted, feeling amused and vindicated.
Right then, someone else said, “All right, all right. Let’s not pressure Crystal anymore. Let’s go back to
what we were doing before.” With that said, the scene turned lively again.
Just then, a voice softly said, “I can be uninhibited!”
It was so soft it nearly went unnoticeable to everyone.
Nevertheless, Henry heard it, and he knew that Crystal was the one who spoke.
Narrowing his eyes, he ordered in a sterner voice, “Go back first, Crystal.”
No one dared to speak after that, for even a fool could tell that Henry was upset.
They guessed that it was because Crystal was humiliating him by not heeding his words.
Then, Seth’s voice broke through the silence. Chuckling, he said, “I’m sure Crystal can be uninhibited if
that’s what she says.”
He then pulled Crystal to his side and filled a glass of red wine for her.
“The loser will have to drink. If you win, you can make any request to anyone. There aren’t any
restrictions on this.”
Henry hissed, “Seth!”
Seth chortled and asked, “Henry, are you the one who’s reserved instead? Audrey’s already
contributed plenty of kisses, but why can’t you do this when it’s Crystal? Haha! I know, I know. She’s
yours, so you feel protective toward her, right?”
At–that, Henry glanced at Crystal.
Putting out his cigarette, he leaned forward and uttered, “Let’s do this.”
It was a simple game of comparing the numbers on the cards.
In the first round, Zachary won. Though he was on bad terms with Crystal, he did not dare to take any
risks with the ambiguity of Henry’s attitude toward Crystal.
Thus, he chose to kiss Audrey instead.
It was a passionate kiss that made those who looked at them turn red in the face.
After the kiss, Audrey giggled and said to Henry, “If I win, I’m going to kiss you!”
Henry ignored her.
Crystal had gotten the card with the smallest number, so she drank half a glass of red wine.
She was fair, and when she downed half a glass of red wine, a hint of red crept onto her face, making
her rosy–checked and even prettier than before. There was no way Seth, who was sitting beside her,
would not be tempted by her looks. The interest he had for her was visible in his eyes.
Even a blind man would be able to see it.
Coincidentally, Seth won the next round.
The room turned quiet.
Oh darn. I guess drama’s about to unfold, some of the people in the room thought.
Henry threw his card onto the table and turned to gaze at Crystal.
Before Crystal could react to the situation, Seth hunched over to hover over her, his hands propping
him up beside her head.
In the next second, he gently brushed the tip of his nose against Crystal’s.
Crystal could only look at him helplessly.
Her lashes were lightly fluttering, and the tips of her cars were flushed pink, tempting Seth to get closer
to her.
His gaze darkened.
Robert, who was sitting in the corner, flicked the ashes off his cigarette and mused, If I were Seth, I’d
kiss Crystal even if it means having my legs broken by Henry
Despite Robert’s four–year relationship with Crystal, he had never known what her lips tasted like,
Everyone thought that Seth would not be able to hold himself back from kissing Crystal–only Crystal
could see the gentle way he was looking at her.
Seth swallowed. He truly, truly, wanted to kiss her.
But he did not. Instead, he leaned toward her ear and whispered, “I’d like to hear you call me your
darling.”
The room went quiet again.
With how dark Henry’s expression was, no one dared to speak.
Things would be less tense if Seth had just given Crystal a peck. He had crossed the line in asking
Crystal to call him her darling. How was Henry going to lay by Crystal’s side on the same bed from then
on?
Clearing his throat, Zachary said, “Hey, Seth, that’s enough.”
He then shot Seth a look, asking him to quit it,
Seth lifted his head to peek at Henry, a smile that did not reach his eyes on his face. “Henry said. he’s
fine with anything.”
Henry did not respond to that.
He merely lowered his head to light his cigarette and slowly blew out billows of smoke.
Audrey laughed.
Ha! Crystal probably wants to get Henry’s attention, but too bad for her, these games are trivial matters
in our circle. It’s easy to call someone your darling since it’s just all an act. Henry wouldn’t care. In the
end, Crystal is the only one that will be embarrassed.
Right then, Seth lowered his head again, almost pinning down Crystal save for the fact that he was not
actually touching her.
His gaze and voice were soft as he repeated, “Crystal, call me your darling.”
Sure enough, Crystal had drunk enough liquor to play along with him.
She gazed right into Seth’s eyes as if Seth was the only person in the entire world she could see- as if
Seth was the only one she loved since the beginning of time.
Parting her red lips, Crystal said in a low, seductive voice, “Seth, my d-
Before she could say the last word out loud, someone grabbed her hand and pulled her into their
In the next instance, Henry towed Crystal toward the doorway.
The only words he uttered to the others were, “Put this on my tab.”
Silence ensued.
Seth tidied himself before shrugging at the others with a smile.
“I told you so. Henry can’t bring himself to play along with this. Now that Crystal’s gone, Audrey. why
don’t you call me your darling instead?”
Audrey’s face was ashen.
She never thought that Henry would actually care about Crystal to that extent.
I thought he loved me. If he can see me kiss others, why can’t he stand hearing Crystal calling
someone else her darling?
Once Henry brought Crystal outside, Crystal sobered up from the night breeze.
She then tried to pry away his hand, but he had a tight grip on her. Upon reaching the parking lot, he
shoved her into his gold Bentley Continental.
However, he did not drive off right away.
Instead, he gripped the steering wheel and adamantly stared ahead.
“Was Melora the one who brought you here?”
Crystal was feeling down, so she turned her head away and ignored him.
Turning around, Henry studied her side profile for a while. He did not know if it was just, him, but she
seemed to be growing prettier with each passing day. Every time he looked at her, he would be taken
aback in a different way.
In the end, he stepped on the accelerator and brought them out of the parking lot.
Crystal thought that he was going to drive back to the condominium, but he went down two streets and
came to a stop before a nearby five–star hotel instead.
“Get down.”
After unbuckling his seat belt, he walked around the car to her side.
Crystal knew what he wanted to do–sleep with her.
But she did not want it.
