Brittany's POV
I turned off the stove before moving over to my phone to see that I had a missed call from her, the sight leaving my mind drift back to the memory of the text she had sent earlier a smile quickly greeting my face as I called her.
"Jaz," I greeted the moment the call connected as I leaned against the counter, my entire body coming alive since my mind was still focused on the text.
"Hey baby," she replied the raspiness of her voice leaving me to wonder if I woke her up.
"Were you sleeping?" I asked the sound of her voice turning me on slightly since the raspiness had mixed with the natural deep feminine sultry tone of her voice, creating a sound that had me in a memorized state.

Jazmine's POVI moved outside with her trailing behind me, I stopped the minute I arrived at the sofa handing her the crutches allowing her to help me sit down."Thank you baby," I announced as she grabbed a pillow putting it on the small table before resting my injured foot on it gently."Do you want anything else?" she asked softly looking at me and I reached forward pulling her closer to me as emotions and adoration swarmed me."I love you," I announced really appreciating the fact that she moved in to take care of me since she didn't have to.

Britt had left for work this morning giving Aria and I the chance to slip out and prepare for tonight with no worries of her finding out.I had been planning ever since my third day in the hospital, the bed rest period of my recovery really gave me a lot of time to reflect and during my reflection, I had realized just how much Britt had done for me without me noticing or even appreciating.And everything she did for me was completely selfless, she did it without expecting something in return which was rare since people usually shook my hand with one of their hands while their other was stuffed in my pocket."Jazzy can
