Jasmine entered the car and sat on the passenger's side as usual.

"Hi," she said with a smile as she put on the safety belt.

Stefen gave a weak smile and drove the car.

She instantly knew that something was off. "What happened?" she asked in a polite tone.

"Nothing.”

"Stefen. I know something's bothering you. I can sense it. Tell me." She maintained her tone.

"You know things about me even before I tell you?" Stefen asked trying to divert her mind and divert his own mind as well.

Jasmine was shocked after hearing him say that.

"You are walking away from my initial question," She said to save herself. "What's the matter?"

"Well..." Stefen glanced at Jasmine and back on the road, "I got my department transfer letter today." He said.

"And?" Jasmine asked trying to hide her excitement. She remembered what Stefen had said when they met for the first time.

"Right now I am working in the IT department. We do rotations after every 3 months. I guess I'll be in accounts department very

    Jack widened his eyes as he saw her leaving, "Alice?". He called out to her and ran to catch up to her but he was late. The elevator door was closed already. He knew it was impossible to run down the stairs so he decided to take another elevator and waited. He did not stop tapping his feet on the ground showing his desperation as he waited for the elevator to come. The elevator door opened and he rushed in and pressed the button. He was very impatient. "Alice, please wait, please wait, don't leave," he was chanting as if he was reciting a mantra. Luckily the elevator went straight to the ground floor without having to stop on any floor. He walked out and saw Alice walk away just few steps ahead of him. Without wasting anymore time, he ran and held her wrist. She halted and looked back. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened in shock. She immediately closed her mouth and restrained herself from laughing. Jack did not understand that reaction of her so he just spoke what he had in his

    Alice was knocked out of her wonderland. She brought back her rude facial expression. "Don’t think too high of yourself?" Alice scolded him. She was trying to hide her embarrassment. Jack smiled listening to her. The old Alice that he loved having around and being around with was back.Jack walked and sat on the couch near the files. "Come, have a seat," he signed her to seat. She nodded and sat as she kept her bag aside. "Want something; water, juice, wine, vodka, tequila?" Jack's lips curled more and more as he uttered the drink's name. He loved teasing her. This guy is unbelievable, she thought. Alice smiled, "Looks like you have all the drinks in the world?" she had a challenging voice. "I do," Jack said it confidently smirking even more. "Then how about..." she paused as she spoke. Jack was expecting her to name one of the drinks he just mentioned, "a cup of coffee?" she completed her sentence. It didn't even take a full second for Jack's smirk to fade. "What?" he asked in

    Alice understood what Jack thought of when she said those words. "As I said before, don't flatter yourself too much and no need to think too much as well." Alice said harshly. "Then?" Jack slowly took back his seat. "I just felt like you might be working the whole night and I know that you live alone, so I thought maybe I could be here with you throughout the night to accompany you... If a person is around you then you are less likely to just fall asleep. And in case if you do fall asleep, I will kick you in your precious behind and wake you up. Simple." Alice explained. But in her heart she asked herself whether that was truly the reason behind her wanting to meet him and be around him or had she just declared herself as a fool for coming up with such a ridiculous reason. Jack's heart smiled hearing that. She was here because she cared for him and that was crystal clear. No matter whether she agrees with it or not or even if she herself genuinely did not know, she did care for him

    He picked the book from the floor and looked at her. "Are you fine?" he asked. Alice did not say anything. "It was the book that fell Jack not Alice herself," Alison walked closer to them. "And what in the world are you doing here?" she asked being disgusted. "Oh wait... so that lousy cheap bag is yours?" she asked being more disgusted. Normally Alice would've replied confidently on her face making it impossible for Alison to insult her ever again. But, for some unknown reason, Alice's lips were sealed and her brain was blank. "Shut up Alison." Jack spoke for Alice. "She works herself alright. She doesn't go around hanging with strangers all the time. She doesn't have a filthy rich boyfriend to buy her every luxury in the world unlike you." Jack retorted. Alison had insulted Alice, but it looked like it was Jack whose ego was hurt. "Really?" Alison chuckled. "Who are you then?" Alison moved her eyeballs towards Jack. Alice stared at Alison not believing what she just meant. "I-"

    He stopped writing and looked at Alice with an unanticipated look. Alice looked serious."Why do you ask?""I actually..." she was debating whether to say it or not.Jack was waiting for her to complete before raising any more questions."I am sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I kind of heard what Alison said."Jack recalled that moment when Alison asked him that. "What's the matter Jack? You don't love me anymore?"Jack did not speak as he was in his flashback moment."So?" Alice asked again bringing Jack back to present. "You loved her?... Or maybe love her?""That's difficult to answer," he said sounding addled."What?" Alice did not believe him."We were 16 when we started dating and we broke up...""What?" Alice could not believe that. She knew both Jack and Alison for a very long time. In their uni days both seemed fine around each other. They never behaved like each other's exes. And this new news blew her mind."Yeah..." Jack assured her. We were young back then and I was v

    Alice went all red with embarrassment. Her cheeks blushed, going completely out of her control. She focused on the tattoo and immediately went pale seeing that. The tattoo was a bit above his left chest. Did he make it there so that it is always close to his heart? Alice thought and that thought pinched her. The tattoo was a big love sign and “A” was written on top corner and there was another small love sign and then “J” was written at the bottom. It was a beautiful piece of art. "It's beautiful," she subconsciously said it. "Thanks, I designed this myself. I wanted my loved one's name to be near the heart that beats faster when I am around them. Thank god I only wrote the initial letter back then. The whole name would have been a pain in my life. This letter I can get it removed whenever I want and the pain will also be less, at least compared to the one that she gave me," Jack laughed. Alice knew that he was trying to cool down the intense mood. She had a question in her mind

    Just after few ring Stefen picked up the call. "You miss me already?" Stefen had a teasing tone but Jasmine was in no condition to understand any of that. "Stefen..." she spoke in a low tone and her voice quavered. "Jasmine?" Stefen changed his tone to serious and concerned. "Are you fine? What happened?" He asked as his heartbeat also paced up. He was anxious. "Stefen..." this time she cried. She was too scared. All the bad thoughts made their place in her mind. It might have even been a prank but no one would dare pull a prank that far. She wanted to tell him what had happened but it was as if her vocal cord was absent and the only thing she could do was weep in fear. "Jasmine?" Stefen was more terrified than Jasmine. He was scared that something serious might have happened to her. "Don't cry alright, I am on my way." Stefen walked out of his room and grabbed his car keys and rushed out of his apartment. He did not cut the phone. He entered his car and drove without wasting any

    "Yes Stefen..." Alice said from the other side of the phone. "Where are you now?" "I am..." Alice was hesitating. She looked towards Jack and was unsure whether to say or not. Stefen could not wait any more seconds for her to answer, "If you are home then can Jasmine crash at your place tonight?" he asked with worry and seriousness evident in his voice. "What's the matter? Is everything okay?" Alice could figure out that things weren't normal. Jack left his work and looked at Alice with a concerned face after hearing her. "I will explain that later but can I bring Jasmine to your place... right now?" Alice could not hide it anymore. If Jasmine needed her then she had to be there for her. She did not care what Stefen and Jasmine might think afterwards but for now, she had to do what was right. "I am not home tonight, I am at Jack's," she said. "What?" Stefen could not believe what he had just heard. "Explaining you isn't important right now. If Jasmine needs me right now then I

    Hey Jack, You are reading this letter, meaning I am not around you anymore. It’s funny when you come to think of it, we have been living under the same roof for so long but when it came to leaving, I don’t have the guts to face you and say my final goodbye. So I am writing you a letter, a letter that represents my cowardice. Thank you for giving me your friendship and the care that came along. I never realized that I had grown used to your care until now. You remember that night on the balcony you asked me ‘How you were portrayed in my eyes.’ I would like to answer that again, You Jack, you are the most annoying and stubborn person I have ever seen in my entire life. You seriously tore all our hard works into pieces without thinking deep just because you did not want me to leave. You bunk working hours and somehow always catch Sandra’s attention. You ranked 1st when it came to getting on my nerves in the initial days at the office. But… you were also the one who stood with a handke

    “It feels weird to be in this room and not see Alice,” all the memories with Alice flushed back the minute they stepped in the bedroom. “I miss her too,” Stefen said. “Come,” he pulled her in and closed the door behind. Jasmine’s sadness turned into nervousness the moment she heard their bedroom door shut. She was starting to have second thoughts on letting Stefen stay with her for the night. Stefen left the hold of her hand and went to lay on the bed. He stretched his one arm on the other side of the bed, a bit lower from the pillow and titled his head, asking her to come and sleep beside him. She was happy to see him not in rush for anything and the respect he gave her and their relationship. She walked on the other side of the bed and laid on top of his hand as he caressed her hair and then embraced her back. She also hugged him tight as she rested her head near his chest, feeling his heart beat. He kissed her forehead and pulled her closer to him, “good night my princess, swee

    “Are you sure about this?” Stefen said as he kept both his hands on both side of his pants pocket… helpless. “Yeah,” Alice said as she was almost done packing. She had reached Jack's apartment before anyone else and she had changed into her comfortable clothes as she started packing all her things up. “When will you be back? You will be right?” Jasmine asked standing beside Stefen, equally helpless. “I don’t know,” Alice gave a false smile. “Can we do anything to make you stay?” Stefen asked. “I HAVE TO GO. The plane ticket is expensive you know…” Alice laughed, completely failing to prove that she was fine with all this. “But I thought you were staying. you said you’d throw away the ticket,” Jasmine asked befuddled. “Well then, it’s good I didn’t, right?” She forced smile again. “Can I ask you for a last favor? Can you drop me to the airport?” Alice asked Stefen. “That's not gonna be a problem but... let’s just wait for some time. Jack must be on his way. Let me call him-” S

    Jack looked at Alice hearing her as he narrowed his eyebrows, questioning her what she meant. “You don’t have anything to worry about,” Alice looked back at Jack with tears threating to fall down anytime. “Because we are not together… and we will never be together,” tears rolled down her cheek as she said those words. But she immediately wiped her tears and smiled. She gave one last glance to Jack and she walked away without another word. “Alice?” Jasmine followed her. Jack stood still, processing what Alice said. Just few hours back Alice promised to be by his side despite any hurdles and now she was contradicting her own words. Realizing that he can’t let her go he walked forward to go after her but he was held back by Alison. “Where are you going?” she questioned him. “Don’t tell me you are going after her after hearing all the things I’ve just said,” she was exasperated. Seeing that he was being the extra in the conversation Stefen approached Jack and tapped his back, “I’ll g

    Alice reached the top floor and when she went to the roof no one was there. “Ha,” she gave a short sarcastic laugh. “Another prank-” But before she could say anything more, she was pushed from behind and she fell on her knees and hands. The slit dress contributed in bruising her knees. She turned around to see the person and was out of words at the sight. Alison stood tall in front of her with a cunning smile. “Hello there! Are you hurt?” sarcasm was evident in her voice. “What the- it was you all along?” Alice said slowly getting back on her feet, dusting her hands, suppressing the pain her new bruises gave her. She was shocked. “Surprise,” Alison moved her hands from her head to toe presenting herself. “Do you like my surprise?” “There,” Stefen pointed at a TV. “There’s Alice.” “She's on the rooftop," Jasmine exclaimed. "Let's go." "Okay, I will call Jack and tell him to be there," Jasmine picked her phone and dialed his number. They rushed towards the elevator and pressed o

    “Okay everyone,” the host stood with a mic and grabbed all the attention with his voice audible from all the speakers from all the directions. “The most awaited time has finally arrived. Grab your partner and be ready, because today the sun will set only after witnessing 'A Beautiful Couple Dance'. So hurry up and ask for the permission to dance… LIGHTS,” the lights in the hall all went off and in the center blue and white lights glowed, making the air more calm and peaceful. Couples started coming forward and dancing along the music, under the blue and white light in a slow and romantic tune. The lights gave a winter vibe and the dance between two hearts warmth the place. “Can I have the honor?” Stefen opened his hand. “It would be mine,” Jasmine placed her hand on top and they walked towards the dancing area. “Will you dance with me?” Jack asked… unsure. “I don’t know, I am a terrible dancer,” she wasn’t lying. “Then that makes the two of us.” Alice chuckled and accepted his h

    Stefen looked at the person and chuckled. “Yeah, we are where we should be,” he made her sit down and he himself took a chair beside her. “Hello Mr. Wills!” Jasmine said in a low voice and the man diverted his focus from his PA to Jasmine. “Oh, didn’t see you two arrive,” he smiled. “And please Jazz, call me Uncle, end the formalities,” he raised his eyebrows and nodded wanting Jasmine to approve. Jasmine just smiled and Mr. Wills went back to talking to his PA. Jasmine pulled Stefen by his coat and whispered in his ears. “Why is Mr. Wills talking this sweet and how does he know my nickname?” Stefen laughed hearing her. “Hey, what’s so funny?” “Why don’t you ask these questions directly to him?” “What?” Jasmine’s eyes widened knowing his intention. “No Stefen, no no-” “Dad?” “Hmm?” Mr. Wills looked back at Stefen. “Dad?” Jasmine was addled as she looked at Mr. Wills. “My girlfriend here wanted to know why you asked her to call you Uncle and how do you know her nickname.” “

    As they were walking down the stairs the boys were waiting for them with their hands in their pant pockets and legs slightly parted. Jack had worn white shirt whereas Stefen had worn a black shirt. However it did not do a good job when it came to hiding their well-built body. Both had worn black coat on top and black pants. Both the boys and their cool pose flew along the thin air when they saw the girls. Jasmine walked down with a shy smile as she saw Stefen and his intent gaze. She looked down on her steps to avoid his eyes to which Stefen smiled. He was swooned. On the other hand, Jack was frozen. He had seen her after so long though they were living under the same roof and after all the distance he suffered, this view blew him away. Alice was walking beside Jasmine, her eyes only focused on his. She noticed how her heartbeat rose seeing Jack and she was happy feeling that loud pump inside her. She knew that her decision to be fearless was the best one because she could never let

    It was a hectic hour in the hall. People were rushing around, frowning and screaming at each other. “Are you freaking deaf? I said only white lilies will be put on the stage. What the heck are you doing you freak. Are you colorblind?” the manager shouted at a staff. “Sorry sir, I will do it correctly this time,” the staff said pitifully. “You better…” the man said. “And you fool…” he shouted at another staff. “Are you going to finish that next month? Are you preparing all these for your own wedding or what?” “Sorry sir!” “Hurry up.” The staff nodded. “Mr. Gill?” a man in a blue suit called out the manager. “Yes, yes sir,” the manager responded. “Is everything ready?” “Yes sir the staffs are doing their work. Just an hour at most and we will be ready.” “All the top businessmen in the country will be here this evening, make sure everything is arranged perfectly. From the décor to the meals, I want everything to be PER-FECT.” “Yes sir, I’m at it,” the manager nodded. “Good,”
