LOGIN187"Can I also get your mother's energy lemonade drink please, Mari? It's too hot today." Fiona came up with the excuse. "I was waiting when you'd ask for it, Fiona. I know how much you love it. Wait here. I'll get you your drink." "Thanks so much, Mari. You're a princess." Mari left them while chuckling. "Why did you send them in? You didn't want them here and see whatever medicines you're giving me, did you?" Jasmine yanked on her sleeve and pulled her closer. Fiona shrugged, "I feel sorry for lying but it's for your own good. You'll thank me for sending them away when I give you...." She searched in her bag. "This."Nerves twisted and twitched in Jasmine's belly as her mouth hung open. Fiona was holding a pregnancy test kit. She forwarded it towards her. "Your symptoms show you're possibly pregnant, Jasmine. Once it's confirmed, I'd suggest you come with me to the hospital and see an OB-GYN." Jasmine didn't catch on her words because her entire focus was on the little package
186"Get the spray first!" Jasmine huffed. When he left, she sighed and offered to massage Lila's back."Thanks for this, Jasmine. You're really a great person.""There's no need to thank me, Lila. Kyle considers you his sister. Anything for my husband." Lead settled into Lila's guts at that response. She bit her tongue hard, making it bleed."I want to apologize on his behalf, Lila." Jasmine's words didn't let Lila dwell over her previous remark."Why, though? I don't get it.""Kyle can sound very mean sometimes. But that doesn't mean he doesn't care for you. You'll always be his girl best friend.""You don't have to explain that to me, Jasmine. You just recently came into our lives." Lila spoke haughtily. "Whereas Kyle, Falcon and I have known each other since we're kids. You're basically an outsider (Jojo and Mari fumed at that from the kitchen) Sorry, if it sounds bad, but that's the truth.""I know. I just thought to say that as his wife. My husband is very soft on the inside bu
185The interview flowed more smoothly than water flowing in the rivers. Kyle and Jasmine shared what happened further and how their story progressed. They spoke about misunderstandings, about meeting each other again and again, about how God made their paths cross again.When it was over, Amber took a selfie with them both."Thank you so much, you guys. This is one of my best experiences so far. Your story made me feel like I was inside the Wattpàd world. My viewers are gonna love it. This video will be out in the evening tonight. Is it okay if I tag you both, and your shop's page too, Jasmine? It's a wonderful place for a binge reader like me. The ambience and aesthetics are perfect.""Sure." They both replied.Jasmine tried to talk to Birdie after that but Birdie made an excuse. She said she's busy and avoided her gaze. But Jasmine could see through her silence. She was hurt.Jasmine didn't force her much and decided to come back home where Lila was waiting for them in the living h
184She almost repeated it twenty times before he moved closer to capture her lips in a hot kiss. "I’ve never felt this sense of belonging before. Thanks for accepting me, Jasmine. You've done a huge favour on me." He kissed her knuckles while she felt her hackles rise at his tone. "I... I feel like such an idiot for wasting the first two months of our lives. I regret it." "I think that was required. How else would we have learned what we mean to each other!" "That's also right." "Anyway listen up, we have a lovely highschool girl here who takes interviews of famous people on her followers' demand. Let's do it.""An interview," His shoulders rose in agitation. "Oh, no, no, no, no. No interview. I hate it. They twist your response around and—" "She said we can filter out any question we do not like. And she's very sweet. I doubt she's like those corrupted journalists you met before."After a moment of contemplation, Kyle agreed. They both came back to the crowded area only to see
183"Hmm. Jokes apart now." Fiona nodded. She stared at Jasmine's now glowing face before her eyes lowered down to her belly. A faint smile ghosted across her lips and it vanished before Jasmine could notice. Clearing her throat, she said, "You look fine to me. It's probably weakness from lack of sleep. But I might have to tell Kyle to let you sleep at least eight hours a day. Otherwise your health may really deteriorate.""Fiona, can you please stop it!" "What?" They both shared smiled before Jasmine covered her face. Then they came down. Jasmine spotted Amber sitting on her table with a purple face. She appeared as though she was blamed for a murder. But it was just Jasmine's thoughts that were making her look like that. "I think you should push her out of here. She looks weird." Birdie's whisper made Jasmine look at her and her heart slowed down. Jealousy was dripping from her face and Jasmine realized that she kept staring at Amber's uniform. Yeah, she went to a private schoo
182He slid beside her in bed and wrapped an arm around her. "Happy with your compensation?" He asked, still breathing hard. "Very happy." Jasmine barely replied. ***Jasmine was glowing next morning and it showed. She returned to the counter after serving an order to a regular customer and rested with her hands on the counter. "You okay, Jasmine?" Birdie noticed her drained face and rushed to her. "I don't know. I don't like the smell of macha.""I can totally relate. When you're surrounded by it all day, it makes you nauseous. Come and sit here." Birdie made her sit on a chair at an empty table. Have a BREWTIFUL day— had just opened for the day and there were not many customers. Birdie brought her a glass of water. Making her drink it, she sat on another chair. "You should go home." She removed hair from her face. Jasmine smiled while shaking her head in a no, "I think I'll stay."Birdie hummed but she wasn't very convinced. She was doubtful that Jasmine wasn't well. She did
90Falcon did. He knew Kyle better than he knew himself. He sighed and moved towards the window to get some fresh air, not before passing a 'Take your time to cool down' look at his shaking best friend. The room had become stuffy with tense air and the heat from Kyle's searing glares. Falcon looke
89Three days later, Kyle threw his tea mug on the desk, wetting papers with the hot liquid. The steam rose off in the air while he grasped his hair and let out a growl between his gritted teeth. The noise made his secretary, Titus, rush in. He entered without a knock and froze on the door whilst
92"Wow! You look like a princess, Jessica." Sky gasped, looking at Jasmine's final look in the mirror. "Please tell me you're one of the Disney princesses that is stuck in our world. Where is your prince charming? Is he coming to meet you tonight?""You’re making me sound prettier than I am, Sky. I
87A tiny voice, aggravating and enraging at that, rang out from somewhere in his mind and said, "Too bad that she was taken. We could've changed it, though?! All you had to do was get her divorced— you had plenty of ways to get it done— and then she would have been yours. What's the point of think
