The beautiful lady, whom Jasmine tried to see in her head as ugly, pulled away from Liam and left his lips glossy from the kiss. Jasmine could feel her temper rising as she stared at both of them. Of course, he was the same as everyone else, there was nothing he could tell her to make her think otherwise. He was rich and handsome, everything a woman wants and she had been a fool to believe that he would settle for only her. Her blood kept rising and her head kept ringing as she thought about it. But it will be over her dead body that she would get up and leave the table for both of them.

"Valerie?! What the hell was that?!" Liam asked, enraged. Valerie had always been a bit too comfortable in her skin and in getting under the skin of others. Liam had told her over and over again that simply because they were friends, it didn't give her the right to kiss him on the cheek whenever she wanted to.

"I'm so sorry. I was aiming for your cheeks, but then you turned and I got your lips instead

Throughout the drive to the apartment, Jasmine didn't take her eyes off the tall buildings and the people who were enjoying their evening, totally clueless about the girl in the car who was slowly losing her mind. A tear dropped from her eye and she wiped it away. Clearing her throat, she made up silly excuses for Alex and consoled herself with them.Bethany, her best friend, didn't ask many questions when she opened the door and saw a wet and crying Jasmine on her doorstep."Oh honey, come here." She said as she drew her in for a hug."My things are in the cab outside. Can you help me get them and also pay the cab man?" Jasmine said when she broke free of the hug."Of course, darling. You get in and dry yourself, okay?" Bethany said as she walked outside to bring her things in.Jasmine knew that Bethany would want to engage her in conversations that would lead to more tears. As

    "Jas, you're scaring me. What's wrong?" Bethany said as she drew closer to her."I could feel his pain, Beth," she responded and the fear in her made her voice come out as a whisper."What pain are you talking about?" Jasmine ignored Bethany's question and slowly turned her head to the white sofa she was sure that would be Alex's favorite chair if he ever met Bethany and gotten into her house.

Bethany screamed when she got no response from Jasmine.Turning her face swiftly toward Beth, Jasmine said with a smile. "Let's go back to bed. It was probably nothing."Bethany squared her eyes as she looked at her friend.

He also wanted to spend more time with her and wished that as a result of some miracle, she would agree to go with him.Staring into Liam's eyes and soaking in his facial features made Jasmine know that she wouldn't be able to make a wise decision, so she removed her gaze from his face.

    Jasmine pulled away from his arms, averting her eyes to the busy road that paid no attention to her nor her feelings. She avoided looking into Liam's eyes out of fear of what she may find in them. Her insides were restless but she kept a stoic face."What's the matter?" Liam had finally gotten over his disappointment of not kissing her and tried as hard as he could to hide it. He knew that he was unsuccessful in his mission but if she could behave as if nothing happened, he could do the same."Nothing. I just don't think we should be doing this." Her insides burned with a hunger for him but her head kept her sane. What guarantee did she have that he was any different from Alexander Keller? Jasmine conditioned her mind to feel hatred for Alex, and she hated that a tiny part of her wouldn't allow her to feel that way. She still yearned for his touch, still ached to be in his arms, still longed for the sound of his voice, still prayed to hear him laugh. She still wanted him and she wasn'

    "Who is it?" She asked Bethany."If I knew the answer to that question, I won't be grinning this much, Jas. So, tell me, who is he?" Bethany asked while giggling."How am I supposed to know? I haven't even seen the guy," she said and got up from the bed with mixed emotions… Something in her wished it was Alex who had finally looked for her and found her at Bethany’s place. She walked to the door and opened it without looking through the peephole. Jasmine was surprised to see that there was no one out there, she stretched her neck and looked into the hallway, still, she didn't see any figure. Closing the door with a frown on her face, she turned to look at a smiling Bethany."Beth, that is not funny. You know I need my beauty sleep.""I said outside Jasmine, not outside the door.""What are you talking about?""Okay, let me explain it in simpler terms for your tiny brain to understand. A man is waiting for you outside the building and from the looks of it, he must have been standing th

    Jasmine stared wide-eyed at her boss, Ms. Laura. She blinked her eyes rapidly as she tried wrapping her brain around the statement that the woman just made. Jasmine froze in her seat as she stared at her boss and then, involuntarily, she lowered her head. She placed her hands on her chest as she tried to steady her breathing."Jasmine, are you okay?"'Was she okay?' That was a question that would take hours for her to answer. She was having the worst week of her life and she didn't even know why. She wished the person she had offended would come out of the shadows and tell her what evil she had done, it would be easy for her to apologize. At least, it would be easier than going through a series of heartbreaks in a day."Ms. Sullivan?" Laura said as she shifted awkwardly on her chair to get a better view of Jasmine's head which was bent low. "Ms. Sullivan!" Laura shouted when she still didn't get a response from Jasmine."Yes?" Jasmine raised her head as she finally looked at her boss
