"Jesus Christ!!!", Andrew yelled as he fell on the floor shocked to see a stranger, and grown woman in his bed room. "Who the hell are you!", he placed his hand on his chest trying to calm himself, he then noticed the woman moved back shivering with fear. He was confused why, then he spotted Lily next to her."Lily? who's this!?!".
"She's my friend dad", Lily said smiling brightly. Crystal slowly turned and looked at Lily, surprised she called her 'a friend'.
Andrew wanted to say something, but then realized he could say it in front of the strange lady. "sugar bear, could we talk outside?".
"Sure daddy!", she hopped out of the room joyfully.
"Who is that?!", he whispered angrily, holding her arm.
"Daddy she's my friend..."
"If you had a friend who was a grown woman I would have known!"
"Hmmm well, we met today."
"Today? where?", he loosen his grip and looked at her confused.
"She was the road kill that was lying on the beach."
"Honey there can't be a road kill on a bea-- Wait what??...", he moved his face backwards.
"Daddy were you about to cuss?".
"No... but why the hell will you bring a complete stranger into the house!! She could be a serial killer for Christ sake!".
"No Daddy she's not! She lost her memory so she doesn't even know who she is. She innocent and helpless".
"You are just six years old, what do you know about innocence?!"
"Six and the half daddy! and also the Bible says, that children are so innocent and pure, they can sense the innocence of another", she giggled.
"Oh really?", he said sarcastically, "Okay then what part of the Bible?".
"Ummm... hmmm... Abraham... something, something, chapter four verse something, something twelve?", she squeezed her hands together feeling stupid.
"We need to start going to church more!"
"Okay daddy, but please let her stay, she has no where to go... just for a few nights"
"Nope let's call the police, they take care of her!".
Lily knew he wasn't going to change his mind, so she faked cry.
"Ugh Lily not now!"
"You don't love me daddy!!! ahhhhhh", she pushed out more tears and fell on her knees.
Andrew let out a sigh and held her shoulders up. "Okay okay don't cry, she can stay".
"Really daddy!", her eyes immediately dried up with a bright smile.
"But only for two nights!"
"Seven!", she argued.
"Three!", he snapped back.
"Six!", she lifted her finger.
"Four! or no deal!"
"One hundred and forty four hours!"
"Deal!", he smiled.
"Deal!", the shook their hands. Andrew nodded his head continuously, feeling proud he out smarted his daughter.
"Wait! Hey!!!!", he yelled out when he realized 144 hours is six days.
"Hehehehe! too late!", she giggled and held her cheeks. He let out a sigh then patted her head, "You won this time smarty pants! now come help me with dinner". Lily the realised she spent the whole day outside with Crystal, and it was already 4:53pm.
At six o'clock, they were all at the table taking dinner. Andrew and Lily made spaghetti and meatballs. Lily loved to play with her food, so as usual, she didn't use a fork. Andrew was feeling very uneasy, eating with a stranger at the table with them. Crystal just sat there staring at her food, unable to eat.
"Crystal? why ain't you eating?", Lily asked , while chewing loudly. Crystal looked at Andrew then back at Lily shyly and said in a very weak low tone, "I...I don't know how?".
"Really?... ooh I forgot I didn't teach you in the storage room". Lily stood on her chair and picked up a her small plastic fork and thrusted it in front of Crystal. "Hmm well, my hands are messy with the sauce, but daddy can feed you." She had a devious smirk on her face as she looked at her dad. Andrew rose his head up immediately in shock and looked at Lily, "Wh...what wait!?".
"Yess daddy, she doesn't know how to eat... so you'll have to show her, after all... I'm too little", she smiled and licked her finger.
'You little... Ugh! This girl would be the death of me', Andrew narrowed his eyes at her.
He took in a deep breath and stood up, he sat on the seat right next to Crystal, who was too shy to look at him in the eyes, and kept her head down.
"Um... uh... hey Crystal you um... you take this and pick up the spaghetti, then place in your---", he completely froze as she lefted her head up, and looked at him. He was captivated by her diamond deep blue eyes with shinny grey sparkles at the center and lined with gold. He forgot completely what he was doing, and stared at her deeply, with the fork in his hand.
Lily was confused what was going on between them, because even Crystal sat still staring back.
"Daddy?", she said in a low tone, still contemplating whether to interrupt them or not.
"Your eyes?...", Andrew mumbled staring deeper and moving his face up close a little. Crystal stayed there without a word or a movement, studying his own normal black eyes, till she her focus was taken away by something behind Andrew, a quick movement of a dark shadow behind the kitchen door.
"Uhhhh--....", she groaned and fell on the floor.
"Crystal!!", Lily yelled as she jumped from the chair and knelt by Crystal. Andrew sat there confused on how she just suddenly fainted, and turned back to see what she looked at, that made her faint. "Daddy help her!!".
"Morning Crystal!", Lily said out with a smile on her face, and her hands holding her chin.
"Mu...uh... Li...Lily?", she mumbled out as she held her head. "Does your head hurt?".Crystal nodded slightly. Lily got up and walked to the desk in the room, Crystal then realized she was on Andrew's bed.
"Here! Daddy said you should take these when you wake you!", she held out a glass of water and two pills.
"Uh... how do I...??", Crystal held the glass I'm one hand, and the pills in the other.
"Just put the pills in your mouth, don't swallow, then you drink some water."
Crystal slowly put the pills in her mouth then gulped in some water. When she was done drinking the whole glass, she made a irritated face. "It's doesn't taste sweet!", she said. "You must have left it in your mouth too long before you drank water... it's bitter".
"Now come! we need to go take a bath it's already 11AM, I'll warm you some water".
Crystal obediently got up from the bed and followed Lily to the living room. Lily saw a hip of cloths on the couch, but was unaware her father was actually beneath them.
"ok Crystal stand here and take off your clothes while I go and bring your hot water from the kitchen", Lily ordered as she skipped to the kitchen. Crystal quietly turn and to cover clothes slowly took of her clothes. she immediately froze up, when she heard a noise coming from the couch, she turned and noticed that the clothes were moving upwards. She was completely naked, clutched onto her shoulders feeling afraid. "Man! my back hurts!", Andrew groaned as he stretched his arms in the air, he shut his eyes while yawning and turn to the left side. he immediately froze up when he noticed in naked beautiful woman right in front of him, he was shocked and wanted to jump but the part of him made him stay and stare at her glorious body. Crystal was slim but her skin colour was glowing and silky, with her white hair falling over her breast. He couldn't get his eyes off of her, or even blink an eye. He was just so captivated from her amazing shape and glorious skin. The frighten and innocent woman stood there staring back at him wondering whether to run or to stay.
"Daddy stop looking at her!!!!!!".
The moment was immediately ruined as Lily dropped an empty bucket on the floor and yelled at her father for staring at Crystal.
"what wait!", Andrew came back to his senses and immediately jumped up from the couch, clutching a pillow below his waist covering his private region.
"Um...Uh...Uh...I ..am I ...I ...I ....I ...I... I mean.. I am ...I didn't ...see ... Um..."
"Daddy when did you start stammering?"
"Um ...what is she doing here why is she undressing here?"
"I told her to undress here, I thought you went out. But why were you staring at her daddy???", she crossed her arms and pushed her hip to the left. "Um--- I... uh... I..... didn't mean... I mean... I am ...I didn't ... um..how was I supposed to know that there was a dressing woman... I mean...a women undressing.... why didn't you tell me!!!!".
"Like I said, I thought you were out".
"I'll um... uh.. I'll just go now ...I'll just go now", he said with the pillow still below his waist.
"Dad why you covering between your legs????", Lily asked narrowing her eyes.
"Uh ... um... nothing!", he ran in his boxers to the bed room, with Crystal still holding onto her shoulders and watching the scenery.
"Boys!", Lily slapped her head.
