Jasmine* "Jayden!" "Jay..." He hugged me from behind shutting me up. It surprised me that he had so much courage to do so. We had just started to get acquainted with each other and I was not expecting him to do so. "Were you scared?" " 'Course not," "I brought you flowers, Jasmine. You love flowers?" "Every woman loves flowers, I'm like every other woman." He took me to his car and brought out the cutest bunch of flowers that I had ever seen. "Here's for you, I just thought I should stop by to surprise you but unfortunately, you came home today. I was going to leave them at your doorstep with a letter." "And the letter?" "I was going to write the letter, I was searching for a pen though." He smiled and I did the same. "That's okay, I thank you for this. It's cute. But you still owe me a gift prize for answering your question the other night." "Oh yes, I confirmed it, you were correct. Unfailingly, I must give you your prize." His phone rang and he placed it over his ear,
Jasmine* A man kept banging on my door after ringing the doorbell a thousand times in a row. I was still in bed. I was extremely tired from yesterday's labor. Reluctantly, I got up and wiped my face so I would be able to collect the sun rays emitting from the window. The man kept banging as though he would, at any slightest provocation, break down my door. Wrapped with a duvet, I trudged to the door. I turned the lock right and pulled the doorknob. Oh mine, a strange man stood by my door without a smile. He appeared as though he has just lost his wife and children in a ghastly motor accident and I was the perpetuator. I heaved and greeted. "Good morning, sir." "What's special about this morning?" "I'm sorry, excuse me?" "You are not excused woman, you owe me." He took his glasses oof and revealed a stubble face. Oh my fucking, this is not good. I told myself. "Aren't you going to let me in?" He asked with furrowed brows. "I don't know you from anywhere, I don't welcome s
Jasmine* It was another day to go to work. I was dressed in my best clothes and looked different as usual. I ran lipstick over my lips and picked up a purse. Today I would be meeting with Jayden after work. Last night he called to inform me about taking me to the beach for a walk. I parked my car at the usual position and pressed on to the Bang and Cum Industry. As soon as I passed in through the gate, my eyes met with Jason's car in the garage. What? Today was a bad day, I was going to be queried. I walked behind a certain car and checked my face in the mirror. I just wanted to walk into this place without Jason's awareness. I went on to Fiona's office first. She carried an angry face. "Why are you coming now, I thought I gave you a day off yesterday?" "I umm... I umm..." "That's okay, the CEO's waiting in his office for you, that's probably what you wanted." She said and got busy with her computer. "Please, Fiona, can you please listen to me?" "I can't help you, Jasmine.
Jasmine* We walked arm in arm-into the park. There were people of different caliber going to and fro the place. There existed the feeling of home as everyone seemed joyful and mindful of each other. Jayden and I moved into a seat and soon, the waitress came around. "Good evening to you all, what would you like to have?" I looked at Jayden's face, he didn't seem to hear the young girl. "Hello, mister." She called out again to attract his attention to her. "Oh, yes?" "What do I serve this table?" The waitress asked. Jayden gestured for her to ask me, "I'll go with whatever she wants." "Grilled mackerel with salad, add a glass of apple juice." I looked at Jayden but his eyes were on his cell phone. He seemed worried as though he had seen something that had rendered him weak and flummoxed. The waitress brought the food and soon we were eating. "Let me go to the lavatory, I'll be back soon." I nodded at him. "Don't take long," "Yeah," The place where I was seated had dim lights
Jasmine* "I can't come with you," "But why?" He asked breaking off his grip on me. He carried a disappointed face. "I don't want to visit a man now, I have..." He interrupted me. "I no longer want to be like every other man to you, Jasmine." "What do you want to be?" I looked up at him and when he saw my facial expression he apologized to me. "I'm very sorry that didn't come out well, I didn't mean to put it that way." He rubbed his temple. I shook my head, "Drop me at my house, I need time to be alone for a while, it helps with depression." "No, you mustn't be alone in a depression less you try anything stupid." "I'm not like other miserable depressed people, I'm depressed, not miserable." "I would like you to meet my family," He took my hand. "You are beautiful and I can't stop staring at your face everyday, I want to keep you closer so I don't have to travel miles every day just to be with you." He brought his hand under my jaw and lifted my face to meet his glowing blue
Jasmine* I stood by the door and watched him descend the stairs to his new car. This man also lived in luxury but he wasn't tagged a billionaire yet. I got back to the room and pulled off my sleep clothes. I got into the shower for a bat and turned on the water dispenser for some mild water. When I was done, I made food and ate to my fill. As soon as I entered the room again, I heard my phone ringing. It was my lessor and I had only two thousand dollars on me. He had stressed that he didn't need payment by installment so, I was hoping I could save up for him. I picked up the call and he was furious because I wasn't taking his calls the first time and he thought that I was ignoring the calls. "Hello, sir" "If you are not here in the next 15 minutes, forget about your apartment and your properties." He threatened. "But sir, I'm out of town," "That's no business of mine, we had discussed this earlier I don't expect you to play with me." I turned to the clock, it was almost noo
"You stole the money," Jason said calmly. "I didn't not steal your money, sir. The ring belongs to me, it was bought in a fair manner." "Seven million dollars is missing in this company, and your salary can't be compared to the ring you claim as yours, you stole my money." Everywhere was quiet, Jasmine began to sob. "I believe she stole the money," Maria said. "She loves coming to work very early and when she's done cleaning, she runs away like a thief. Who else noticed that?" She turned to the staff who were seated. Ninety-five percent of the staff raised their hands in the air. Jason heaved, "Is that true?" "I just love to go home early enough to avoid problems, I'm not a thief." She was still wearing the glasses. "Fiona," Jason called out. Fiona kept standing, "What is this that you have done to this company?" Fiona was tensed, she wished that Jasmine would take off her glasses, wipe off her bloody make-up and make things milder. He would have forgiven her but then, she wa
He picked her bags and other belongings that her lessor had left behind for her. He put them into the boot of his car, and got back into the car to be with her. He pets her and pats her on the back. "It's okay, stop the crying it wouldn't solve anything. You will be fine," He said. "Will you come with me?" He asked and all she could do was stare with an open mouth and indecisive heart. Wasn't this Lilian's prophesy? Lilian told her that she was going to pack in with this man. No, she would be staying there for only tonight, by tomorrow, she must have fixed her new place. Suddenly, she remembered that her boss at work had stressed the fact that no one should stay away from work or else, there would be a consequence. She pulled the sleeve of her dress to check her wristwatch, and she sighed. "What's that?" Jayden asked upon hearing her sigh. She didn't feel it would be right to tell Jayden about her job, telling him about it meant telling him about Jason and she didn't want tha
