The Ex-Mafia With Single Mother
Chapter 17

Gail was really impatient, Cristal was terrified. The man was a little rough, Gail even gripped Cristal's chin as she was already very curious. He is not a gentle man especially towards a woman and this is the first time he is close to a woman he likes.

He couldn't even express how he felt at the moment. Cristal even misinterpreted the attitude that Gail was showing at the moment. He felt that the man was forcing himself and he felt that the man had evil intentions.

"Jawab, why are you quiet!" Gail pressed both of her cheeks, causing Cristal to feel pain.

"Let go!" pinta Cristal's.

Gail did not also release the grip of her hand, her eyes did not escape Cristal who grimaced due to the pain in both her cheeks. The grip of his hand loosened, Gail let go of his hand and stepped back.

"Jawab, don't let me use my way so you can answer my question!"

"Why are you so curious about this?

" ask Cristal while loosening her two aching jaws.

"But I was forced to do all this because I was just a single mother. My husband is dead, leaving behind a pile of debts I have to pay. There's nothing else I can count on even I can't leave my mother-in-law because she doesn't have anyone and she's my responsibility!" Cristal. It was up to what would happen after this that he must have already said what had happened to him to the man.

Though he should not say his personal problems with strangers easily but the man forced himself to say it. It could be that the man had evil intentions, he was really scared.

"Why did you work in a club and become a striptease dancer?"

"When there is no way, what can a woman like me do? Economic impetus, responsibility for a child and mother-in-law and also debts that I should not bear, what else can I do?" Cristal covered his face and cried.

"Nobody wants to experience what I'm going through right now, but it all happens suddenly without me wanting to. My peaceful life fell apart after my husband died. Not because of his death, but because the debt he left behind was like a gallows to me that could kill me at any moment" Cristal cried sobbing, he really could not.

"I have no other way but to be a striptease dancer without having to sell my body so that I can make a lot of money to pay a debt that is not about much. If I could choose not to experience something like this, I would rather live in poverty than have to bear a lot of debt. You're the first person that's so good to me, you're the first one that's willing to help me. I'm so grateful that even if you want my body, I'm willing to give it!!" cristal said without hesitation. Indeed he did not mind, all of it was worth the help that man gave

"Stupid!" Gail approached him and hugged him. Surely Cristal was surprised, his body froze because of this.

"I'm not a waji*ngan who wants your body so easily. I just want to know what happened to you so you have to experience something like this. Now I know what's going on and I already know what to do!" said Gail.

"Thank you for helping me but I'm not as good as you think I am. I'm just a woman fighting for my daughter and an old woman. Don't like me, don't ever. There are still many young women who are much better than me so don't like me!" pinta Cristal's. He was not worthy of that man.

"Stupid, what feeling can choose? Do you think I'm happy to have this feeling? I don't like it at all. I've been like a madman, you've always been in my shadow. I'm a person formed not to know love, I've met dozens of beautiful women but I don't have any feelings for them but in the end I have to feel those feelings for you. I don't want to either but you've turned my world upside down so I look so stupid that you have to take responsibility!"

"What?" Cristal looked clueless but suddenly Gail raised her chin and kissed her lips. Cristal's eyes bulged, his body even frozen. Although at that time Gail also kissed her lips but it felt a little different.

Gail kissed him not long, he was really entangled with a widow. It seemed like he was following in the footsteps of his boss who was also similarly entangled by the charm of the widow. Gail let go of her lips, eyes staring at Cristal sharply but her face remained cold and stiff.

Cristal's face met with praise but the cold expression Gail showed was not at all supportive of the current atmosphere between them.

"What's your name?" this was the first time he asked Cristal's name. It was natural that Cristal was afraid and did not believe him let alone that he was chased by many people.

"Cris-Cristal Aaron," Cristal replied with a feeling of uncertainty. He knew he should not let the man like him much less that he would only be a burden to the young man because of the problems he was going through.

"I'm Gail Bernard, call me Gail!" this was the first time they knew each other's names after such a long time.

Cristal nodded, Gail stepped to Cristal's side and leaned against the wall that was by his side. Gail glanced at Cristal for a moment and after that her eyes looked far away.

"How's your mother-in-law doing?" tanyakanya.

"It's fine, all thanks to the help you gave me, thank you."

"No need to thank me, I didn't do anything. I'm just helping with the cost so don't thank me."

"Why your money?" Cristal lowered his head, he would definitely pay all of Gail's money later.

"Didn't I say, you don't need to think!"

"No!" Cristal turned, looked at Gail, "I'm going to pay for it, I'm going to find extra work so I can get more money to pay for your money" he said.

"What are you going to do? Do you want to work in a nightclub again?"

"If there is no road, I will work there by force. I had to pay my debt so I couldn't rely on the restaurant's salary alone" Cristal said.

"No, I told you never to go back to the club again. If you really need a job, I'll give you a job!"

"really?" Cristal turned and looked at him expectantly. If so, he would be very happy because he does not like to work at night clubs.

"Do I look like I'm kidding? Go accompany your mother-in-law and daughter, it's night. I'll come back tomorrow to see you and give you a job!"

"Thank you" Cristal approached Gail and hugged her, "I'm so grateful for your help" she said in tears.

Gail returned Cristal's embrace, hugging him feelingly. Cristal can feel it, his cries even more spilled because he felt safe in Gail's arms. The tightness he felt in his chest, spilled out just like that without him wanting. The man became a place for her to cry, the caress of Gail's hand on her back made a feeling of uncertainty. He knew he shouldn't be like that, he knew he couldn't be with the man because he didn't deserve to but for a moment, he said, he desperately needs a man's burly hand so that his feelings become better and so that the burden he feels becomes slightly reduced.
