JAZMIN
Flashback continues…
I SILENTLY opened the girl's bathroom and heard someone crying. Someone is trying to suppress her crying, but I can still hear it. I saw Ezra looking at the mirror while tears flowed down her face. She was sad and hurt. But why is she still beautiful when she's crying? Unlike me, I look terrible when I'm crying.
When she noticed someone standing behind her and saw me through the mirror, she immediately washed her face in the sink and dried it up with her handkerchief. Her eyes are still puffy and red.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask with a concerned look. I just stood there, and we were staring at ea
JAZMINFlashback continues…THEPASTmonths were like heaven for me. The happiness that Ez was giving me is priceless. I'm finding myself falling hard for her every day.Today is my birthday, and I told her that Mama wanted to meet her officially. I told Mama and my BFFs about us, and they are very supportive of our relationship. Their reason? They had never seen me happy like this before. And I could say that I am.Of course, we hide it from anyone in school and be casual with one another if we are t
JAZMINFlashback continues…THEDINNERwas great. Mama, Pearl, Ben, and Ezra get along well. They like Ez because she's a genuinely wonderful person."Hmm, Miss Ramirez, can I take Bonnie to dinner this coming Saturday night?" Aww, she asked for my mother's approval first before mine. I appreciate it. I didn't know about the dinner until now.Mama just smiled. Pearl and Ben are just staring silently. "Of course, dear, but only if it's okay with Bonnie." What a wonderful parent! I love Mama!
JAZMIN Flashback continues… IT IS SATURDAY,and I am nervously excited about our dinner date. I don't know where Ez will take me, but that won't be a surprise anymore if I ask. But I have to work first before seeing her, which is why I'm here at FT. The work and Denisse averted my thoughts towards the dinner for a while. Yes, Denisse! She's threatening me again, and I'm so afraid of what she's saying right now. "I know what you're doing, Bonnie. You're using your flirty self to get more of the position, huh." I froze. I can't continue putting the final touches on the ordered salad. "Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie. So
JAZMIN I FELTthe tears in my face, slowly flowing from my eyes. Yes, Ez was my first. I can still feel the pain in my heart till now. Not the pain from that lovely night but the pain of losing her. Her touch, her caresses, her lips to mine, her body, her love. I balled my fist where the bracelet was located. But I'm the one who let go and didn't get the courage to fight for her. Just like what I've said to her, I'll fight for her, but I didn't. And now, I shouldn't ruin anything for her. She deserves to be happy. I can see she's happy with my Dad now. It's good that she acted like she didn't know me. At least, I have no explanation to say to her. I'm not yet ready, I think.
HANAJAZMIN has beenacting weird since last night she met Averi. She's being quiet and distant, but maybe like what she said, she's just tired. But something is off with her.Like right now, we're having dinner, and she's reticent. And when we talk about Dad and Averi, her expressions are something that I can't read.I've never really talked to her in person in seven years, but thanks to the help of social media, we managed to get to know each other well ever since I apologized to her. We get to know what each other likes and don'ts, simple things, and secrets. Even her first love. But she never told me the name of that girl.She doesn't want to bother the girl anymore
JAZMIN "GOODafternoon, ma'am. I finished cleaning everything but didn't cook because you said you're not going to eat here. So, can I leave now, ma'am?" said the outgoing maid who's just coming to my house to clean every day. Katie is my helper and also my working student. I hired her through my resources. She's been the caretaker of my house ever since I bought and built a house in this lot four years ago. Katie is in her fourth year in the course of accountancy at UST, and I can say she's doing great in the field that she has chosen. For four years, I can say that I have trusted her about anything regarding my house and also my secrets. "Yes, Katie. Thank you. Send my regards to your mom." She nodded.
JAZMINWHEN MY phone vibrated, I was startled even more. I took it from my purse and answered it as I walked to my family's table."Where are you?" Hana's brow furrowed. I can see what she's doing. She's tapping her finger on the table, which is one of her mannerisms. My older sister is impressive.I took a deep breath and then responded to her."I'm right in front of you, your little kitty," I said, smiling. Then she cut the line and looked in my direction; she smiled hugely. As if she had seen her special someone. But I know my sister adores me, which is why I adore her."Hi, Dad." I kissed him on the cheeks, and he was surprised for a moment because he thought I was someone else, and Dad smiled back when he realized it was just
AVERITHE HEADACHE WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD. I'm sorry for ruining the family outing. I was pleased to see Jazmin being so sweet to her family. At the very least, she hasn't changed the old her that I've known. She's still charming to the people she cares about a lot.How about me?Me?No, you're not welcome.Of course, I am. I'm from Jazmin's past. Yes, past. And, as I've previously stated, the past is the past.I shook the thoughts out of my head. It will cause me more pain, not only in my mind but also in my heart.But I'm feeling better no
Three weeks later...AVERI"BABY, could you please zip my dress?" The redhead inquired as she turned her sexy back to me, which only I could do by gulping. "Or maybe later, babe?" she teases as she notices I'm staring at her back."Not today, Jaz. You don't want to keep your in-laws waiting, do you?" As I zipped her dress, I replied. I was doing my best not to join in her teasing."Maybe after meeting my in-laws, you know..." she mused as she turned to face me, a teasing smirk on her face. Her mere breath touching my ears caused the hairs on my arms to stand on end. "Baby?""Jaz, stop." My heart was racing as she tried to give me little kisses on my jawline down to my neck while sensually touching my breast. "J
JAZMIN"HEY, you're here," Hana said as I entered the mansion's front door. She kissed me on the cheek. She appeared to be in good spirits today."Yeah. Uhh," I'm not sure what to say. Averi texted me to meet her here without explaining why we should meet here. But I just went along with it because she said she'd tell me later."You're just on time," she said as she dragged me into the living room. She didn't even give me a chance to speak. What is going on with my sister? I had no choice but to follow her lead because she was still dragging me."You have a visitor," she announced. I looked at her perplexedly and was about to ask her a question when I heard a familiar voice greet me.
JAZMIN"SO, WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE MANSION?" Averi asks, not looking at me but concentrating on her cooking.We've arrived at my home. She called me after talking with Hana because she needed to talk about something important. But even if we didn't talk about anything important, I'd like to invite her over and stay with me for the rest of my life. Cheesy!"Hana was having a lovesick problem," I explained, taking the apple from the basket and washing it in the sink before returning to sit on the counter."Oh! Finally, she was interested in someone. Who is the unlucky person?" Still, on her back, she inquired. I wanted to burst out laughing at her question, but all I could muster was a broad smile, which she couldn't see. Before I repli
JAZMINI WAS ON MY WAY OUT, looking for my keys in my purse, when I accidentally ran into someone."Sorry, Miss," the girl I ran into said. I look at her and immediately recognize her. "I'm sorry," she apologized. The witch has transformed into a lovely lady. What did she do to her face and body?"Denisse?" I inquired, but the girl scrunched her brows and looked at me perplexedly."Excuse me, beautiful, but how do you know who I am?" She asks, her gaze fixed on my eyes and features."It's me, Den. Can't you recall an old acquaintance?" I replied with a broad smile. She didn't recognize me.Then she must have remember
JAZMINI CAN'T BELIEVE she's now right beside me, snuggling her sweet chocolate scent that I can't get enough of. Her naked and glorious body pressed against mine. I enjoyed everything we did last night.It was my first time doing it because Averi told me she had never been laid after leaving her seven years ago. Can you believe it? Even Dad hasn't touched her, and I'm so grateful for what I've known. Of course, I believe her. I proved it last night.I caress her cheek and tuck her hair behind her ear, the strands falling in her face. She sleeps like an angel. Her breathing was slow and peaceful. I can't believe she's mine again. Everything is mine. I lightly peck her lips so as not to wake her. But she is a light sleeper, and she always wakes up smiling at me.
AVERII CAN STILL HEAR HER VOICE UP THERE. I look in the mirror, my face swollen with tears.I was missing her terribly. I want her back, but it's not possible right now. Everything is so complicated. She's the one who gave up on us. Why is she ruining everything? I despise her!Someone else opened the door after I heard it crack. I automatically wipe my tears away with my hands and look down. I didn't bother looking at the person who went inside. When I heard that they had locked the door, I looked at them in the mirror. And I noticed a red-haired goddess standing behind me. She's looking at herself in the mirror."Are you okay?" she inquired sincerely.I didn't bother to respond to her.
AVERITHE CUSTOMERS were yelling and cheering for the two hot sisters in front of the stage. Since the sister took the stage, Aiden's Resto has been just like any other resto-bar. Their presence caused havoc in the otherwise peaceful setting. Even George was yelling. While yelling, his professionalism flew out the window, "That's my little ones! Woohoo! That's my daughters, you guys."I smiled at his demeanor. He is very proud of his daughters. Of course, he should be. If the mere presence of the two causes the customers to become agitated, imagine how much worse it will be when they hear them sing. I'm sure all the boys will drool for them. I'm not exaggerating. I'm stating a fact.The two were accustomed to the attention that the customers lavished on them. They were born to be stars.
JAZMINWE'VE COME TO AIDEN'S TO EAT DINNER WITH THE FAMILY. Yes, including Averi. So, this would be our first meeting after that steamy make-out session in her office.We took our usual seats. Aiden is pretty crowded tonight because a band is performing. Aiden improvised into a social resto-bar.I was just here two weeks ago, and after that lunch with Pearl, this is only my third visit. They do renovate quickly. The location, on the other hand, was fantastic. It's still as cozy as ever.There was a stage with complete instruments, amps, and mics. This just goes to show how much Ben and Pearl enjoy music. I didn't know if Pearl was here, and I didn't want to bother her, so I didn't tell her I was there."Kids, Ave will be late for
JAZMIN"HANA? Baby? Where are you?" I asked as I walked down to the mansion's living room. I could hear shouts coming from there. Is there a brawl going on over there? I was worried about my sister because I could hear her scream even when I was in my room.It was Sunday and my day, so I planned to sleep until noon. I was exhausted from our night at the clubs with Jacob the night before. I didn't go home with him last night at my house because he begged me to bring his gigolo for the night to my own effin' house. I couldn't object because he used the you-owe-me tactic.That's why I'm in the mansion, sleeping until I want to wake up. Who cares? I am free to do whatever I want. I also need to recover from the events of the previous week. Yes, another week had passed since I almost raped the will
