It has been a few days since last time and the cast has officially wrapped the filming of season 5! Crystal did in fact manage to avoid Devale and it wasn't as hard as she imagined because they barely had any intense scenes together.
|Crystal's place |
Knock knock knock
Crystal opens the door for Josh and mouths "hello" because she's on the phone with the party planner- Tori.
Crystal: yes Tori we're still sticking to the rose gold theme
Tori: okay perfect! What about guests? How many tables?
Crystal: uhm I think 20 but I'll confirm later once my assistant brings the RSVP list
Tori: noted! I think that's it for now, I'll be in touch
Crystal: thanks boo, ttyl -hangs up-
Crystal: [hugs Josh] morning baby, sorry about that
Josh: don't worry about it, I bought us some breakfast
Crystal: [smiles] you're too sweet! All this party planning has me stressed I even forget to eat breakfast sometimes
Josh: I hear you baby but how about you put down the iPad and come spend some time with me? You literally just got back from filming last night- I missed you!
Crystal: [smiles] okay fine I'll put it down just for 30min and I missed you too baby
Josh: so how did filming go? Do I need to prepare myself for any Zatima sex scenes?
Crystal: [laughs] babe now you know damn well I can't discuss that with you! But I will say... you don't have anything to worry about in that department bcz Tyler took the characters on a different path this season
Josh: oh okay. Well can I ask you something?
Crystal: [unsure] uhm yeah
Josh: what's the story with you and that Devale guy?
Crystal: what do you mean bae? I mean he's like my bsf and co-star, why?
Josh: I get the sense that yall friendship goes deeper than that, baby whatever it is you can trust me
Crystal: [sighs] Josh honey what is this? You know I'm an open book, if there's something you wanna know just ask me
Josh: [exhales] okay I know you said the kiss at the Zatima premiere was a misunderstanding
Crystal: [getting pissed] yeah so what's your question?
Josh: I guess just wanna know if you and Devale have ever done something beyond that kiss?
Crystal: [chokes on her juice]
Josh: [sighs] wow
Crystal: wtf is that supposed to mean? Are you implying that I'm a hoe who fucks around with married men?
Josh: oh not at all baby, it's just yall relationship is a bit sus and I just wanted to know where I fit into all that
Crystal: first of all, I don't owe you any explanation about MY PAST because it doesn't involve you!! Secondly, you and I aren't even official so I don't have to answer any of this offensive shit!!!
Josh: the only reason we're not together is because every time I bring up us being exclusive you start a fight with me- kinda like what you're doing now!
Crystal: [scoffs] nigga you're the one fighting me!! Attacking me with all this BS so early in the morning!
Josh: baby will you calm tf down!! Nobody's fighting you or questioning your past! I just want us to give this relationship thing a try but we can't do that without honesty.
Crystal: you know what Josh I don't have time for this! My party is less than a week away and I'm fuckin stressed tryna make sure everything is perfect, this is the last thing on my mind!
Josh: [kinda hurt] so you're saying this relationship doesn't matter to you?
Crystal: -silent-
Josh: aight cool, that's all I needed to know. Imma head out [stands up to leave]
Crystal: baby wait!! Please don't go
Josh: I asked you a simple question and you couldn't answer me, that's my queue to leave
Crystal: I kept quiet because.... [hesitant] this technically isn't a relationship!
Josh: I know and I'm tryna change that but how you reacted to my questions let's me know that you're not ready
Crystal: so you really gon blame all this on me?!
Josh: that's not my intention and you know it! Baby all I'm saying is... [exhales] I think we need a break
Crystal: [teary-eyed] one small disagreement and you're ready to walk out on me?
Josh: it's actually not small at all. Crystal I really do love you but you still haven't figured your shit out!
Crystal: what does that even mean?
Josh: baby you can't have your cake and eat it too. You constantly remind me that we're not in a relationship yet you want relationship perks to come from whatever this is, we're not right for each other Crystal.
Crystal: [crying] baby yes we are! I'm just stressed rn, just please don't leave me- I love you!
Josh: [also crying] you see baby this is what I mean! You want all the relationship perks without the actual relationship!! I'm sorry but I can't do this, I can't have just half of your heart while the other half is occupied by that MARRIED man!
Crystal: for the last fuckin time!!! Devale and I are just friends!
Josh: yeah okay, clearly you're not ready to be honest and give us a fair chance so imma leave!
Crystal: [in tears] I'm not in the business of begging men! If you wanna leave, go!!!
Josh: [stops by the door] lemme just ask you this
Crystal: ugh I'm honestly over all your stupid questions!! Just leave Joshua, do like every other man in my life- walk away!! [Crying]
Josh walks over to her and wipes her tears then kisses her forehead. He pulls out a USB from his pocket and places it on the table
Crystal: what is this?
Josh: I tried to give you a chance to come clean and you obviously don't trust me enough to believe that I would never judge you for your past!! We all have a past we're not proud of.
Crystal: Josh I said what is this?
Josh: [sighs] it's a sex tape of you and Devale, idk when it was taken or why it was even sent to me but I do know one thing. You don't trust me Crystal and we can't have a relationship without trust
Crystal: [fuming] sex tape??! Wtf?! Where'd you get this?
Josh: idk, my door bell rang this morning and this was on the ground. Whoever it was also left this letter addressed to you [gives it to her]
Josh: idk what any of this is about but I'm not giving up on us Crystal. So call me once you figure your shit out! -he leaves-
Crystal slowly reads the letter as angry tears start falling from her eyes
Crystal: the FUCKIN NERVE!!!!
She sprints upstairs and changes into a tracksuit and sneakers, she grabs her car keys and makes her way to her car.
