Chapter three: Announcement

"I'm getting married," Jasmine announced, earning yells from her friends.

" Married???"

Laurette and Flora have been Jasmine friendssince childhood and they overcame difficulties together.

The three musketeers developed the company together and with team work, they were always at the top.

"You're getting married? Why? When? Who made that decision for you?" Laurette who's"29" years of age, blonde hair, blue eyes, and a figure eight structure bombarded her with questions.

Jasmine went silent for a while.

"Will you say something please. The suspense is eating us up." Flora who's chubby and with chestnut eyes and long brown hair impatiently said.

Jasmine inhaled deeply and sat down with heads bowed while she ruffled her hair. "I'm left in between and I don't even know what to do. It all started this morning, I woke up and then saw the notification of my wedding plans for tomorrow. Like who the f* does that?"

Laurette sucked on her tooth and stood up. "This is getting too much of mama and papa. If I'm not mistaken, this would be this fifth time you would be going on an arrange date but the last one should be the worst. How can they just decide that you would be getting married tomorrow. It uncalled for."

"Can someone tell them that? Can they?!" Jasmine cried out angrily and Flora walked to her side, she placed her hands on her shoulder. "All this, isn't an issue, we can easily get a divorce but what about Dominic?" She asked and deep silence eloped the air.

Everyone knew it that the main issues.

Dominic and Jasmine has been dating for the past two years now and she hadn't even set her eyes on him and it was more like a long distance relationship where people date online and take days to visit each other cities.

"Should we still get back to this? We all know this isn't the main issue flora, you can't just bring out someone who doesn't care if they don't see for two years and more to be the main issues. Divorce isn't so easy in a marriage! You can't get married now and at the same time get divorced. Why didn't you think it through, that would be the questions. We have to find for a solution. Dominic isn't an issue, all you need to do is give him a call and tell him you can't continue the hide and seek and you're done. That to save you many talks." Laurette suggested but Jasmin wasn't even listening.

"I'm finished, he would call me a cheat."

Flora sighed," I knew all of this couldn't work…." She was about saying something when she got interrupted by the crazy tone coming out from Jasmine phone.

She looked at the caller and froze. "It him, it Domini…. Dominic. What am I going to say to him." She stuttered and they sighed.

"Just go ahead with the normal way you two bounds, then hear him out again. He might have something to say."

Jasmine slowly picked up the call and carefully placed it on her ear. "What took you so long to pick the call babyy." The voice from the other end whined, she made out her voice to say something but she suddenly lost her voice.

"M…m..oh" she cleared her throat and cooled her nerves. "I wasn't with the phone at the moment and I just got here." She quickly made an excuses and got a small snickering from the end.

"I've decided to give my baby a good shocker, but I need you to make a guess" he demanded and she frowned stamping her feet on the marble anxiously.

"I…I'm a little bit bad in guesses and you know that."

"Okay, okay. Let me just come clean and make you happy. I just boarded a plane coming down to California……"

"Whattttt?????" Jasmine yelled, the phone on her hand fell rashly on the floor, earning reactions from her best friends.

"Mine, are you over there?" The voice asked but she was still on daze.

She was really done for. Why must it be at this time?

The call ended and Laurette and Flora quickly rushed ovet to her. "Are you okay babes?"

"No…no…no no I'm not okay" she continuously said, her breath simultaneously increasing. "He's coming over"

"What????" The both yelled with opened mouth. "You don't mean it right?" Flora asked but jasmine just continue ruffling her hair.

"All you need to do now is to call him and tell him the truth. No more lies. He shouldn't bother about it." Laurette suggested, jasmine shook her head in disagreement.

"I love Dominic and all I ever wanted was to see him and now he's coming but just because I'm getting married tomorrow to some fool then I will loose him?. Nicholas Damian is ruining my life!"

Laurette and Flora raised up their eyebrows. "Nicholas Damian?"

"Yes, he's the one I'm getting married too"

"That beast? He's a hidden creature and fierce like a lion. And you're getting married to him?" Flora gasped with great shock. They were both surprised and scared at the the same time.

"But I won't be getting married to him, I'm standing on my words. For once in my life, I need go do something favorable for my life." Jasmine said with determination laced on her voice. "It my life and I will rule it just the way I feel it good."

"What if?" Flora tried saying something but Laurette chirped in.

"That the spirit girl…but I won't like the outcome. We know your parents are one of the strict human beings of our time and you can't go against them."

"All I need is to tell them that, I have a boyfriend and my boyfriend is back in town." Jasmine said walking towards her bedroom.

"And you think that would work? You think that would work on them?" Flora butted in but earned a death glare from Laurette.

"The only important thing here is, I'm telling her that I've a boyfriend and we've been dating for two years now." She said and slammed the door with a long sigh.

God help me.
