Jasmine* "29, you?" He responded with a gentle and infections smile. "Nevermind," He took my hands and began to fondle it. "Have you ever wondered why Jayden, why this stranger?" "Destiny helper, that's what you said you are, you could be my destiny helper so I don't fight my helpers." We laughed together. This man was cooler, he laughed with me but then I had already learned not to fall in love with just anyone. "Can I take you out?" "Umm... My patient will need my help, you know I need to stay close in case my assistance is needed." "Okay, it's okay. I feel better now that I have seen you, I hope to see you again constantly, always." "That will be very impossible, I don't live in Melbourne." "Oh really?" "Yes, here's my hometown though, I come in when I want or when I have to." "Where do stay permanently?" "Broken Hill," "When you are in Broken Hill and I want to see you, will you have a problem with me if I make it to Broken Hill?". "Of course not, I'm not like tha

Jasmine* I nodded at him and he stretched out to turn it down. "Are you better?" I nodded again in response, "You know what?" "I dislike rodents especially lizards, I have a feeling that I got one in my car." "This car?" I asked in fright as I raised my legs up, high. "Lizards running from lizards, is that necessary? I mean you have been nodding like them since you got into this car." He turned an eye at my direction to see my reaction. "Fuck, you don't mean I was the lizard all along." "I have not said so. Time for questions." "Yeah," I heaved and waited for it. He took a sharp turn and headed for the hill, it marveled me how he knew places in Broken Hill as well as he did at Melbourne. "According to the pamphlet, what do you do when a fellow lady shouts at you in a meeting?" "I remain quiet through out, I can meet her afterwards to talk things out with her amicably. My gifts?" "But you are wrong," "I'm not," "You are, I have read the book. You didn't follow the proced

Jason* "Those men will never go unpunished unless I'm a tinkling cymbal," I told Irene, my wife's friend who visited my office just to plead on behalf of those loosed men. "But they are your brothers, your friends for crying out loud. Why are you so heartless?" "Maybe I wouldn't have bothered if I had my wife around but if she can be heartless on me, why wouldn't I with any one I wish to be heartless on? Judge justly, my dear." I picked up the pair of spectacles on the table and wore it over my eyes, my eyes skimmed the pages of the book the financial director delivered to my table. "I'll help you with your wife, I can do that. I promise," Irene said with so much concern that I wondered if one of these men was her man? "Look Irene, you can breaks bars, sweep the oceans, bomb the whole world, I'm not backing out of this plan. These men are beasts, they raped Aurora my staff! Don't you get it? I wouldn't even let you into my office but for Jasmine's sake, I don't believe you will s

Jasmine* I knew there would come a day when I would have to join the meeting at work, today was the day. The CEO was going to address an issue and he requested that all the staff make themselves available at the meeting hall. Irene was around. She helped with masking me up for the meeting. I drove my car and parked just where I always do, pick my bag, and walked up to the gate. Without worry, I walked confidently into a seat. Maria was up while Jason sat with his face buried in a magazine. "No, Maria. I will take care of the funds. The secretary to the financial director?" Jason pointed out but no one was upstanding. "Rosella?" Ariella searched the hall with her face. "Isn't she Rosella?" Jason asked pointing at me. The crowd shook their heads "Oh, but they both have a slight resemblance," While he was talking. Rosella, the lady they mistook me for walked in wearing a stiletto. "Where have you been, Rosella?" "I'm sorry, sir. I stumbled on a dirty scene on my way to work."

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,
