Chapter 7

The next few nights, Willy and Krystal would always talk on the phone together since the two of them usually sleep really late. Every morning, Willy makes sure he texts her a good morning which always makes Krystal's day. Today however was Krystal's birthday but she herself had forgotten about it. Willy had secretly gotten Krystal a special present. He had gotten a special necklace for her.*



*This was the first time he was buying a gift for a woman. Charlie had called Krystal and told her to come over for dinner while her sister was already there helping out with the cake. At around 7 p.m. , Willy started becoming anxious.*


Willy: What do I say? How do I give this to her? What if she hates it?


Charlie: Mr. Wonka, calm down!


Ruby: She'll love it, trust me. Calm down and go with the flow. 


Charlie: She's here! Lets go! *pulls Willy*


*They reach the door and Willy freezes. He sees Krystal standing there. Krystal notices him and calls him to come over. As he does, he notices how her outfit hugs her perfectly but gives a classic look too.*



*The whole time, Willy couldn't keep his eyes off Krystal. Krystal would notice and smile at Willy. But he never stopped looking at her. Mr. Bucket noticed as well after the grandparents mentioned it to him. Mr. Bucket went to Willy and nudged him to call him aside. The two men walk outside the house that's now located in the factory*


Mr. Bucket: You really like her don't you?


Willy: That obvious?


Mr. Bucket: Very. But I know you want to be her friend first so you may need to lay off on the staring...


Willy: Will do. I just know nothing about love anymore. *sigh*


Mr. Bucket: If you have anything you want to know, you can ask us.


Willy: Thank you, thank you so much.


Mr. Bucket: Anytime. Now go give her your gift...


*The two men go back into the house. Willy had told the oompa loompas to switch the lighting so that the chocolate room would look like its at night with stars too. Willy walks to Krystal who's talking to Mrs. Bucket.*


Willy: Excuse me, is it ok if I can borrow Krystal for awhile?


Mrs. Bucket: You have her for as long as you want.


Krystal: *blush* Heh... Lead the way Willy. *links arm with Willy*


*Willy leads Krystal to a spot surrounded by light candy trees. On the grass laid a picnic blanket with two glasses filled with soda. Krystal took off her heels and sat on the blanket as Willy joined her after placing his walking stick down and taking off his shoes. They talk and get to know each other while lying down and watching the stars. Willy notices the time and its getting late. He wants Krystal to get her rest too. He sits up and pulls out the box containing the necklace.*


Willy: Krystal, I have something for you. A present for your birthday.


Krystal: Willy, you didn't have to. 


Willy: I wanted to. H-here. *passes the box to Krystal*


*Willy watches nervously as Krystal opens the box. He watches as her facial expression changes into shock.*


Krystal: *gasps* W-willy... This is beautiful! Thank you...


Willy: I felt like this would suit you best...


Krystal: The lavender fits with what I wore when I first came here. C-could you help me put it on?


Willy: Of course... *takes the necklace*


*Willy opens the hook and watches as Krystal turns so her back faces him. He moves closer to her so its easier to put it on her. As Willy moves the necklace in front of Krystal's neck, she leans back to help making her head hit his chest. The two freeze as Krystal looks up at Willy and he looks down at her. They blush and move again. After hooking the necklace around Krystal's neck, he moves back as Krystal turns to face him and look at her necklace. The two lie down again and look up at the stars. Krystal felt cold midway and Willy decided to let her borrow his coat so that she wouldn't be cold. Willy also hugged Krystal to keep her warm after a lot of mental conflict. Somehow, they end up falling asleep with Krystal's head on his chest and Willy's arm around her waist keeping her close to him. Hours later, Ruby and Charlie search for Krystal since they're supposed to head home. When they stumble upon the sleeping pair, they decide to take a picture and send it to the Bucket family then leave them there to sleep. Charlie drops off Ruby off that night and picks her up the next morning. At that moment, Krystal and Willy wake up and notice their position*


Krystal: O-oh! I-i'm so sorry...


Willy: N-no... I'm sorry. We must have fell asleep...


Ruby: Yup, we came to find you last night but saw you both sleeping soundly so we didn't wake you up.


Charlie: Ruby brought you some clothes Krystal. I'll show you a room for you to freshen up in. Mr. Wonka, you should too. Mom wants us to join for breakfast.


*Krystal, Ruby and Charlie head to Krystal's room while Willy goes to his. Through the whole thing, Willy couldn't stop thinking about how warm Krystal was. Krystal got changed into a comfortable outfit and helped Mrs. Bucket make breakfast which was pancakes.*



*Willy walks in and sees Krystal helping he takes a seat next to Krystal's seat. Mrs. Bucket and Krystal hand out the food. As Krystal places his plate of pancakes in front of him, her chest and stomach accidentally touches Willy's back and head. He freezes at contact but he doesn't quite hate it. Krystal takes her place next to him and they have breakfast. After breakfast, Willy and Krystal head to the inventing room while Ruby and Charlie plan something. The two of them join Krystal and Willy in the inventing room.*


Charlie: We're here! Ruby came to join...


Willy: Of course.


Ruby: Charlie, could you show me around?


*Ruby and Charlie walk past Krystal and Willy. Ruby pushes Krystal and walks past so that Krystal would fall straight into Willy which ended up taking him to the ground as well upon impact. The two scream out of shock and blush especially when they noticed Krystal straddling him. They move off each other and Krystal helps him stand. Later before Charlie and Ruby leave the room, they push Willy so that he falls and takes Krystal down with him, pinning her down. They freeze as they stare at each other. He gets off her and helps her up. Krystal then rushes to catch Charlie and Ruby leaving Willy sitting on his chair in a blushing shock.*


Krystal: Ruby! Charlie!!! Why?


Ruby: We wanted things to move forward faster.


Krystal: Don't. You know he hasn't been a socially active person. Especially in relationships. Heck, he's never had a girlfriend even. He needs time. Unless fate does something like that, don't try. Let him take things at his pace. Plus, we're just friends.


Charlie: Ok Krys. I'll check on him later too. See you both later?


Ruby: Yes. Bye Charlie.


Krystal: Bye Charlie...


*The whole way home, Krystal couldn't stop thinking of how sweet Willy was but tried hard to not think of how she accidentally straddled him. On the other side, Willy was thinking of the exact same thing but he however was having trouble controlling his feelings that he took the rest of the day off to calm down.*
