Dear Dairy
It's me again...This time I have not been truthful with myself lately, I have been having problems with my step-mother Lissa, and step-sisters Gabelli and Tina, as well step-brother Hosea. They are making my life a living hell, and I am trying to keep my promise to my father to stay with them until he gets back from his business trip to New York City.
Plus I was hoping to be in my new apartment by now to relax from my day with these three..... I've got to go now dairy I have to make breakfast for the three spoiled children and Yes I called my step-mother a spoiled child and oh boy she is one spoiled child I have to deal with when my father leaves for business trips...."Sigh" life can be hard just wish I can get away from here for good...
from Crystal Rose Silverheart.
I closed my diary got up from my bed, and went to a small treasure box on a bookshelf in my room. I opened the box, and put my dairy into it, before closing the box I picked up a picture of my mother and my little bother Zax. A memory flashed of what had happened that day because my mother had taken us to the movies to see The Wolverine, as we were heading back home a car ran a red light and hit the side of mothers car and the next thing I knew was we were flipping through the air before the top of the car folded inward. We all ended up in the hospital where my mother and Zax died. Tears started to stream down my cheeks, I wiped my tears away put the picture back into the treasure box, and closed it.
Afterward, I went to the bathroom to take a nice hot shower to relax my muscles and wash away yesterday's worries. After the shower, I looked into the mirror to admire the figure that I had inherited from my mother I had tan skin, long reddish-golden-brown hair, and my eyes were unique in the fact they were a very rare color of purple. I got the hair color and the skin color from my mother, and no one knew where my purple eyes came from except my father did told stories of one of his ancestors having purple eyes.
After staring at myself for about a minute, I headed out to my closet. Looking in my closet I saw a mixture of my clothes and my mother's, I could not let her memory go and this is how I kept it, my father agreed encouraging me to wear mom's clothes. I picked out a pair of blue jeans and a black Pentagram blouse before putting my hair into a braid with beads braided into it.
I then grabbed my favorite pair of boots that had moons and stars on them, i put them on and took hold of my purse, then headed towards the kitchen to make something to eat as I got there, Hosea was standing in the kitchen as he stood there in my way he looked at me and I swear I saw a smirk creeping across his face.
I was creeped out by his smirk because to him I was the most beautiful creature on earth who he wanted to have his way with, and keep me to himself in his mind no one else could have me, I hated it! How does he think he could have those thoughts about me?
He said, "Good morning Crystal how did you sleep? Did you have any sexy dreams about us? Maybe if father and mother aloud it I can ask mother and father if they can give you to me since we aren't blood-related. Would you agree? With me on this matter since no one wants to be your boyfriend?"
I tightened my fist took a deep breath in and let it out slowly to calm myself down before saying, "Good Morning Hosea, and I slept good thanks for asking. I would never have sexual dreams about you, I would pluck my own eyes out and give them to the birds of prey to eat before ever dreaming of you. I know for a fact my father would never approve of you to have your way with me especially since we are siblings now! By the way just because I have no boyfriend right now doesn't mean no one wants me, so fuck off and stay away from me."
I started to prep breakfast for Lissa, Gabelli, and Tina since they were picky eaters, they don't like anything touching, no fish, only low-carb foods, wheat, or anything with rice. Oh let me not forget desserts they want nothing with gluten in it. I can tell you this they are malnourished, so I came up with a plan to trick them by eating what they don't like.
As I was placing the plates on the table, I could hear Gabelli coming down the stairs when she came into the dining room she said, "You better have made breakfast correctly this time Crystal. I would hate to see what father and mother would say to you. Be a good slave and do what you are meant to do."
Feeling my rage rise within me I slammed the plate on the table and said, " Listen here Gabelli I am no slave to this family. You need to respect me as a sibling and just for you Gabelli your mother means nothing to me, ever since you guys came into this family you guys have been nothing but insufferable ungrateful brats and acting like spoiled children thinking they are rich. Well news flash you aren't, everything that is in this house is my father's. So, we could have a house over our heads and clothes on our backs if you don't like it? Too bad so sad buttercup."
That is when Lissa walked into the dining room and walked towards me before she raised her hand into the air as if to hit me I closed my eyes waiting for the slap but it did not come, she had stopped and said, "How dare you say that about us! I could talk to your father and have that damn Cafe taken away from you to teach you a lesson about talking down to us."
I gave Lissa a fake laugh knowing the Cafe was mine and mine alone, I said, "Hahah very funny Lissa father can't take the cafe away from me because it is not his, but it was my mothers shopped before she died and it was given to me when I turned 17 years old don't you remember Father even said, "This is now yours my sweet darling baby girl Crystal. You have your mother's shop, and everything that is inside belongs to you and only you no one else. That is when we signed the papers of ownership over to me Lissa and not only that you do not want to lose the money that is coming from the shop to the house right? Anyways breakfast is ready for the three of you I need to get going to the cafe because unlike some people I have to work for a living."
I headed towards the front door when Tina came down in a nice-looking outfit and said, "Good Morning Crystal." I was glad that Tina was in a good mood for once because when she is not she agrees with everything that her sister and mother say and then she does it. She is not that bright but she does have her moments when she is smart.
I smiled at her and said," Good Morning Tina breakfast is made you just need to take your plate to the kitchen and grab your food."
Two ways you could tell Tina and Gabelli from each other since they were twins was that Tina has green eyes while her sister has blue eyes that match their mother's eye color, Gabelli wants the attention in the wrong ways while Tina tries her best not to grab the attention of anyone.
Gabelli has long wavey blonde hair while Tina has long black like her mother does, they both have fair skin but the way they presented themselves could sometimes hide that fact.
I opened the front door and headed down the road towards the cafe. Since owning the cafe I have had to fix up the building making sure everything works right.
As I arrived at the cafe, I noticed my best friend Niki standing outside waiting for me to let her in. I waved to her and smiled saying, "Good Morning Niki, I hope you slept well with the Rose bath bomb and muscle relaxer I made you."
Niki smiled as she saw me and said. "Good Morning Crystal, I did sleep well and the bath bomb and muscle relaxer indeed worked for me it's just a little to strong." Nikki is someone I could depend on when I needed someone to have my back.
I smiled at her and gave her a big hug, before saying, "What can I get for you, Niki?" I opened the front door, And I could hear the sweet ringing of the bells my mother put over the door to alert her when customers entered the store, now they alert me as I am making things for the patrons to enjoy. I walked to the front cash register as Niki said," I would like a peach tea with your mother's rose petal Danishes, that you kept on making even after she passed."
"The Danishes will take ten minutes to make if you don't mind waiting for a while?" I had said to her. Niki shook her head before she said, " I don't mind waiting plus gives me time to talk with ya anyways." I made her tea and placed it on the counter for her, Nikki had taken the cup and went to sit down at a table, she waited for her food while I made the danishes and talked with the other customers who were coming in.
I was just about done with one customer when two gentlemen whom I had never seen before walked into my store. One of the gentlemen looked to be seven feet tall judging by the ruler by the door, he had a slender build wearing a fine suit looking to be tailored to him, and hip-length silvery gray hair that was kept in a braid, his storm gray eyes had scanned the establishment almost as if searching for something or someone, and his pale skin almost seemed to contrast with the black suit making him seem almost stark white, his facial features were not anything to frown at he was very handsome but something seemed off almost unnatural as he turned his gaze to me and it almost seemed as if there was a pain in his eyes and his facial features. The other gentlemen looked to be eight to nine feet tall with a broad build, and slivery white short hair with a goatee, and blue eyes. Wearing blue jeans and a white under a T-shirt with a leather jacket over that shirt. While looking to be in his early 30s to late 20s. The men slowly walked up to the counter and in a thick Irish accent, the broad gentleman had said to his partner. "Hey, do you want anything mate?"
The younger slender man looked at him and shook his head before they got to the register and the broad man Said. "Hay lass ya have any coffee? I could use a strong brew right now." the man's voice was deep but smooth it was nicer than other people I have heard and he seemed to be kind though his friend did not seem to care about anyone around him at all.
I smiled at him and said, "Yes we serve coffee. What kind of coffee do you prefer? We got vanilla roast, French roast, and dark coffee like someone without a soul." I giggled as I made the joke. The broad man chuckled and nudged his friend. "Oh look they have ya blend mate."
The slender man gave a faint smile before looking at me for a moment. "You must be Crystal, the daughter of Robert Gale Thompson... I am A'kreath Draco and this is Spazz." he motioned to the broad man who nodded his head." hey ya lass. And on the subject of my coffee, I would like an Irish blend if ya have it."
I smiled at him and said, "Yes, I am Crystal and that is my father's name. Do you know my father?" I heard the front door ring and Gabelli's loud annoying voice ring out. She said, "Crystal, how dare you try to take this store away from our family!" I thought to myself, 'Oh here she goes again, why do I have to deal with this shit from her and her mother.' I looked at her put a fake smile on and said, "Gabelli, this store doesn't belong to your family but belongs to me alone."
Gabelli looked around the store and spotted A'kreath and Spazz, both of whom looked at Gabelli, Spazz leaned in slightly whispering. "not on good terms lass?" he was not wrong but at the same time something seemed wrong with A'kreath as I looked at him, his eyes seemed cold and somewhat cruel as he watched her almost unblinking, he looked back at the door and seemed as if he was planning something he looked back to me and handed me a card. "call me if you need help." was all he said his voice seemed deeper colder and seeping with cruelty.
I shook my head in response to Spazz's question and said, "Not really, ever since their mother married my father it's like a battle with them over everything and she thinks she is the queen of the world because our father spoiled her and her sister Tina." I took the card from A'kreath and said, " I will do my best A'kreath."
Gabelli did not like the attention I was getting from both A'kreath and Spazz, so she said, "Trying to flirt with the patrons again Crystal? Aren't you being shameful in your behavior, it's no wonder you are failing in your business, and here's the reason. Why don't I give you an example of how a real woman can get a man unlike a whore like yourself."
The look I saw in A'kreath's eyes scared even me as his eyes seemed to dart to the side at Gabelli, all Spazz said was. " Oh no lass now ya did it... you might want to choose your actions and words carefully and besides lass, I am married not looking for another." He stepped to the side and motioned for me to stand back and stay out of the conversation as A'kreath turned around to look at Gabelli.
Gabelli looks at Spazz and said, "I was not talking about you ugly ass Scottish bastard, who wants to date your ass in the first place, I feel so sorry for the woman who was probably forced to marry you. I was going to show Crystal how to get this guy here."
She started touching A'kreath's chest. The look on A'kreath's face looked oddly calm as she touched him he simply grabbed her hand and before she could say anything I heard a sickening crack as her wrist was pointing back towards herself and A'kreath began to speak in a cold tone. "why don't you keep your hand to your self you wretched slut, you realize not every man in his right mind would touch such a filthy disgusting harlot such as yourself? or maybe you are too lost in your delusions to even realize you are barking up the wrong tree like a bitch in heat." Spazz seemed to be trying his best not to laugh as A'kreath let my sister have it.
