Joseph’s POVOnce Jasmine is calm down, I held her still in my arms, too afraid to let her go from my embrace.”Are you OK now?” I asked her. she nodded her head, “I am so sorry for breaking down like that. You should not witness that.” She said, I shook my head, “No, It’s ok.” I said as I caressed her hair softly and comb it with my hand. “What actually cause you that?” I asked her, and she suddenly looks terrified. Then I tighten my grip on her, but gently. “Hey.. it just me.. you can open up to me, you can talk about anything to me..” I said.She sighed, as she hid her head on my chest, “I just had a rough childhood..” she started. Then I nodded my head, preparing myself on what she might start to tell me, only to have my hopes failed, as she then shook her head, “That is what I am willing to tell you about for now. We had just known eachother, and I just do not like open up about my personal issued to new people.” She said.I nodded my head understand what she means, “If you said s
Jasmine’s POV“I don’t do relationship.” I told Joseph. He looked at me weirdly. “Nice try Jasmine..” he said.I shrugged my shoulder, “I am serious about it.” I said. He then looked at me, “what do you mean by that?” He asked me.I shook my head as I finally stood up and walked away from him, “I just do not believe in relationship. So I don’t do it.” I explained. He still looked at me with so much confusion and question in his head. “One of the reason is the childhood trauma that I told you.” I continued.“And that is what I am willing to tell you now.” I said. As I opened his bedroom door. He followed me behind. “Yeah, I understand your position and I respect your decision.” He said.“So you lived here with your ex?” I asked him. He noddd his head. “You seemed that you loved her a lot.” I said. “Of course I am.” He said as he nodded his head.“And cause you loved her a lot, she leaves you.” I blurt out. And I can see an uneasiness in his eyes. “I am the one who broke up with her.”
He nodded his head, “she is so pretty. I mean I met her in real life, but she actually a charmer.” I praised his ex.Joseph chuckled, “what is this, Jasmine?” He asked.“I am having a tour! A house tour of Joseph Fransisco.” I replied.He shook his head, “are you Ok? You looked like you just hid something from me.” He said.I shook my head. “Nothing.” He sighed as he walked up behing me and hugged me. “Jasmine, I do not know what you are trying to hide from me, but please, don’t keep it all to yourself. I am here to talk.” He said. I tried to pull my body away from him. “I want to go home.” I said.He sighed, “sure, I will drive you.” He said. I stopped him, “no need, Joseph. I will just take a taxi. Thank you for picking me up yesterday.” I said. He looked at me confused.Then he raised an eyebrow at me, “what games are you plauing with me?” He asked.I shook my head. “I am not playing games. I just want to go home.” I replied him. “Then I will fucking drive you home. And I do not t
“Your mum called me last night. She is the one who asked me to meet you. To knock some sense in to you. To help you out from that woman.” She said.I raised an eyebrow at her. “Do not play with me, please. You were the one who broke off the engagement. Now that it is over. Please do not interfere with my personal matter anymore. And do not drag my mom in to this. I know my mum better than you.” I said as I turned around and walked away leaving her sat there alone.***Heard what Madalynne just told me made me feel a bit disappointed at my mum. She once experienced how her daughter was not treated right. She out of all people should have been thd one who protected Jasmine. I shook my head as I decided that I want to go home.I planned a dinner with Jasmine later. I just hope that she will not back out from my plan. I do not know what I felt for Jasmine , yet. But one thing for sure that I know is, I felt much calmer when she is around. Only God knows how much I want to run back to Mada
He smiled at me, before mouthing an Ok to me and seemed that he is busy in ordering. For a minute, I thought to myself, should I tell him? Can I even trust him on this? Will he leave once he knew how messed up mu life is? Questions are flying in my head. Does he really care about me? Or he is just making it up? Once he is done and looked at me. “My mum left me when I was a week old to my dad.” I let out the words slowly.He looked at me concern. “Do not look at m with pity eyes. I do not want you to pity me.” I said. Suddenly felt offense by his stares.He shook his head, “no, go on.” He told me.I took a deep breathe. “I am an unwanted kid.” I said. He widened his eyes when he heard what I had just said. And he decided to walk to me and hugged me. “My dad hates me. Cause he said because of me, his girlfriend left him and I am a nightmare that comes to his life.” I continued.“Oh.. ssh.. that is so harsh..” he said as he tried to caressed my shoulder slowly. “I hate it. My dad never
He shook his head, “well you feel like you like it or not, you should have something to eat, I am not going to let you starve yourself.” He said. “I will just order some Takeaway. What do you feel like having?” He asked me. “Just some sandwiches are ok with me.” I answered him. Jasmine’s POVI decided to not go to the office today, I think I need a day off from everything. I sighed as I sipped my morning coffee while scrolling on my phone. It has been a while since I actually have time for myself. I wondered how would it turn out if I decided to walk away from this whole mess. Will I feel happier if so? I shook my head.“You just took over, you need to build yourself first, then you can walk out from all of this.” I said to myself. It has never been easy cause I have been underestimated for everything. I have been told that whatever I do or however I try to upgrade myself, it will never be enough for my dad. And he will always bring back the hurtful words, such as “You are such an ung
I can hear his voice is full of happiness when he answered me, “Yes, Miss Peters?”I sighed, “Mr. Fransisco, I am so sorry for the inconvenience, but I am taking my day off from the company, for our urgent meeting, my team will reach out to your team. Since my secretary will take over when I am not around.” I replied him formally too. “Oh I thought you were professional enough for things like this, Miss Peters? But I guess I was wrong?” he said. I sighed. “Joseph..” I said, “Oh so we are not going on formal anymore?” He asked.I closed my eyes, really done with him. “I am so sorry Mr. Fransisco, But I am on my leave, and all of the work related project and stuff will be handled by my secretary. I am so sorry for the inconvenience. Hope you will understand it.” I said and about to cut off the call.But before I could do so, I heard him sighed, “Where are you?” he asked.“I am so sorry but I can not tell you , Mr. Fransico.” I replied him.“Cut the act, Jasmine. Why are you avoiding m
“You said the only reason why you wanted to try and date her is to prove Madalynne that you are over her, but the is no Madalynne here. Yet you said all those words. Man, You better not lying you yourself. Or else it might come back to you one day.” He said.I shrugged my shoulder, “Well, I was just being a good friend. That’s it, nothing more and nothing less.” I answered him. “Nonetheless, she is my fake girlfriend. My family know about it.” I said. And Kyle only nodded his head on me. “But still you are trying to meddle into her private life, you realized that, right?” he asked me.I raised an eyebrow at him, “erm, no?” I said carelessly, “Well , since she is actually not in town, and I am busy with my work, you can excuse yourself out.” I said to Kyle. He laughed at me, “I am more than happy to do so. See you!” Kyle said as he walked out. I nodded my head in answer.***Jasmine’s POVLilibeth walked in my home with Korean food in her hands. “Here I come!” she said. I smiled at h
