JASMIN£ “Get away from my girlfriend, Ace.” I heard, we both heard, which made my head whip faster than it should have to the direction of where the voice came from. I got the shock of my life to find Armani, standing there giving Ace a heated glare. That was when his warning resounded in my head. He was the one who said it. He called me his girlfriend. I was overwhelmed and speechlessly, I glanced back at Ace, who frowned before also diverting his gaze to the direction of the voice. His gaze locked with his brother's in a burning glare. “Come here babe…” Armani voiced, with his eyes steadily on Ace. In that distracted moment, I pushed Ace away from me, sprinting into the arms of Armani. Hugging him close, clutching his jacket. This was definitely an act, and I'm all about playing along. His firm hands held me closer to him, as he placed a kiss on my forehead. “Been looking for you all night……” The gears were turning in my head, but I decided to keep up with the act. “
Ace No woman had ever been able to turn me on except my Layde. Infact, I was a walking hard on around her, when we dated. But Parklane? I'd never been turned on by another woman, but somehow she managed to do that, even without touching me? How did she pull that off? I can't deny the fact that she's hot but heck, I can't be attracted to her. When I saw her at the club tonight, dancing, swaying her hips against that man's body, like a trained whore, I had every intention to ignore her and Veronica's kiss was the perfect distraction. That was until, she approached me and I caught a glimpse of that sparkling necklace draped around her neck. It completely entranced me, and made me imagine this was how it would look on my Layde. For a fleeting moment, I envisioned it to be her, my Layde standing right there, flaunting that priceless gem, that was until reality hit me hard! It wasn't her. It was actually Jasmine Parklane, wearing her special necklace and taking a seat in front
JASMIN£ The plot is coming up well, but getting on Ace's good side seemed to be hard to achieve. Yet I was relentless because I have to get into his good books, so that when my scheme goes well,he will not point an accusing finger at me. He is smart that way, to suspect me for the hazard I am about to mysteriously cause, and that is something I cannot risk. Tonight was the dinner party, so I got dressed in a luxury fitting. It was a dinner for the elites. Lots of political executives and businessmen, would be gracing the meeting,considering a famous icon was the host, I needed to look my best. So I picked out an elegant blue slip gown that hugged my curves. It had a cowl neckline, with a side slit that gave a view of my toned legs. I paired my dress with a silver louboutin with diamond necklace and bracelet. I wore light makeup and matched it with red lipstick because I was feeling bold. Tonight's look was simple, yet classy. I had ordered a gift for him, Ace, which I picked u
JASMIN£ We walked side by side, as he pranced pompusly towards the in house casino, like he owned the entire place. “You love defeat..” He just said, with a cocky grin plastered on his face. “I wouldn't say that if I were you..” I smiled slyly in turn. You don't even know who you are up against. “It's been long I played because no one had been bold enough to challenge me in my game. You see the thing is I learnt from the best master. Are you sure you are in for this, Jamine?” A hint of pride settled in my chest, at the fact that he called me his best master. Ofcourse I was. But I think it's time I humble my arrogant student. “Very sure, Ace…” When we were almost outside the room, I paused to stand in his way. “Let's make this more fun shall we?” “What do you mean?” He frowned. I took a bold yet defiant step his way, “Let's place bets.” I said. I have already come up with the perfect bet to stake against him. He frowned, “And what would that be?.” I glanced at the entr
JASMIN£ I paused and turned to her with a frown. “WHAT. WAS. THAT?” She asked spitely with raging eyes directed at me. “What do you mean?” I asked. “The stunt you pulled at the casino…” she gritted out. “You did it to get his attention didn't you?” I couldn't help but frown at her statement. If she thought, I put my life in danger just to attract her so called boyfriend then she was totally wrong. “So what did it look like to you? That I purposely endangered my well being or that I faked everything just to get Ace's attention?” I asked in a ludicrous manner. I can't believe her way of thinking. “I don't know….he was all over you there….” she waved a frustrated hand about. Then took a threatening step closer. “Jasmine, I might have been friendly to you tonight but I just want to remind you of your place. You are his employee, you only know Ace on a contract, but you don't know me. You don't know what I can do. So now, I'm warning you. Stay away from my boyfriend or you can ki
Jasmin£“Remember our first kiss?” He finally whispered over my lips, trapping my eyes with his hope filled ones.A fearful gasp left my lips as my eyes darted between his, and I shook my head slowly.The hair rose at the back of my neck and my insides trembled.No! This can't be happening.It was like my worst nightmare coming to life….I stumbled backwards, hoping to get away from him, but he inched closer. He took slow forward steps to me, and finally, he breathed out a relieved laugh as he shook his head, with happy tears, “Fuck…I never thought this day would come….”“Wh-what are you saying?” I stammered eyeing him frightfully while my heart was relentlessly pounding in my chest.I inched back, scared of what might be going on in his head, only for him to keep coming closer.It was like he was completely oblivious to my fear, like he was lost in his discovery, as his eyes only pierced deeper into mine, he visibly swallowed heavily.I continued backing away, backing away from him
ACEI stirred in my bed, feeling the soft morning glow from the sun kissing my bare torso through the unfurled curtains before I peeled my eyes open, to meet sight with a very familiar ceiling.A ceiling I had not opened my eyes to in years. My childhood bedroom ceiling.I sat up,definitely surprised and tried to recall why I had fallen asleep here, but instead a monster headache set in.I groaned at the effect, and I perceived the alcohol in my breath, making me palm my face.Shit, how much did I drink last night?And what the fuck happened?How did I end up here?I was still rubbing my head to soothe the ache, as I downed Advil tablets, and just in, a pungent smell of burning paper and smoke wafted through my nose, eliciting a cough from me.Leaving me to wonder where the heck the smell came from.Wanting to know, I slid the duvet aside, getting out of bed and following the smoke, as I waved my hand around to clear it off.I got closer to the source, my closet and heard a soft fem
JASMIN£ “What if we host an award for him and then, wait for it….” She leaned closer and snapped her finger in my face. “Right in front of the entire crowd, we released a bucket of disgusting slime down his face. What do you say?” She concluded, earning her another burst of laughter from me. Chloe was ridiculous…in the funny way tho and her round of suggestions had been going on for the past one hour,yes. Ever since she found out that Ace was my ex-boyfriend, she had gone from liking his style to hating his guts, and now all she could think of was the perfect comeback for him. She had a list of over a hundred horrible things we could do to Ace, and this was by far, one of the least decent, and less harmful ideas, she'd dropped. “Chloe please…” I couldn't help the laughter anymore. “Just saying sis,” she shrugged picking up her bowl of chips. I shook my head, “Chloe, it's fine, I'll be just fine. Everything will go well” I reassured her. I already told her the plan, she knew it
