"Oh really Alison? Even Stefen here was talking about you. He was wondering where you were," Jasmine spoke looking all frustrated but with a fake smile as if she'd kill Alison just by glaring at her. Stefen was speechless hearing Jazz act weird all of a sudden.
Caleb had a question mark written all over his face too. He never heard a word come out of Stefen's mouth about Alison. So, what was Jasmine taking about?
"Really Stef? You were missing me so much? I missed you too baby," Alison finished her words and kissed his cheeks again replacing the previous one she gave Stefen when they greeted each other. This was it for Jasmine to control.
Does this girl have a contract with the god or what that she'd die if she didn't kiss Stefen after every 1 hour? And baby? Did no one ever teach her that baby is the term used a for young CHILD not a young MAN? Jasmine's soul was cursing Alice.
"When's your birthday Alison," Jasmine asked.
"Why?" Alison asked with her fake accent, looking up not wanting to move her head from his shoulder.
"So that I can gift you a dozen of lipsticks since you have the habit of kissing guys' cheeks every now and then I'm sure you must run out of it often," Caleb choked on his drink and Stefen's eyes widened in shock after hearing what Jasmine said, all in one go.
An internal weird satisfaction was there in his heart.
"You bloody bi***," Alison shouted finally leaving Stefen and tapping her foot in anger.
"If cursing would make a person great then believe me I've piles of ill words roaming around my head right now. And if I start spitting it all out on you right now, it won't take more than a minute for blood to ooze out from those filthy little ears of yours," Jasmine gulped down all her coke and stood up and walked away leaving Alison more frustrated than ever and the boys still in shock of what just happened.
"That bloody psychopath. What does she even think of herself? And does Stefen literally have no problem with her seducing him so openly or is he dumb..." Jazz was standing alone in the balcony enraged at everything that happened.
"OH MY FREAKING GOD... What have I done?" Jasmine covered her mouth as realization hit her. "What did I just do now?" she recalled everything that she'd just done inside. "One moment I was just thinking of those words and the next moment I said it out loud. What's wrong with your brain Jazz?... Nononono I didn't do that. I just embarrassed myself in front of everyone. What had GOTTEN into me? Why was I acting like that all of a sudden? Hell Jazz, the only way out is to now jump from this balcony," she said looking down to check the height. "That Jack jacka**, who told him to buy an apartment that's at this height? It must be just two floors below heaven. What if I die jumping from this height? Mindless idiot."
"Are you done talking to yourself or should I come back later?" A male voice came from behind where Jasmine stood.
"Yeah come back later," she replied instantly not looking back but in the matter of seconds her eyes widened as she recognized the voice and slowly turned her head to see the person, praying for that person to not be the one she was thinking of. Nononono.
"You?" She sounded disappointed. He was probably the last person she wanted to see that moment.
"So, can I know what you were talking about?" Stefen came closer and turned around, his hands resting on the metal railing behind him as he faced towards Jasmine.
"Nothing that you should know of," she kept a straight face and turned to re-enter the apartment but she was stopped by a strong yet soft hand and was pulled back. She dashed on him, her arms rested on his chest as he rested his on her waist. She didn't dare to face him so she just lowered her eyes and stood still.
"I want you to listen to this carefully Jazz."
Jasmine just nodded her head, still lowering her lashes.
"Alison and I are just friends. Our fathers know each other, they do business together so I just can't shut her but trust me I don't see her as anything more than a friend nor will I ever." He said with seriousness and truthfulness visible in those ocean blue eyes of his.
"Okay." She finally looked at him in his eyes, her heart had started to pump in a whole different and new pace. She had never felt her heart beat so fast but still it was relaxing her.
He blinked his eyes and removed his hands from her waist still not breaking the eye contact. Jasmine stepped back as well maintaining a good distance between them.
"I think we should go back in," she said more like whispered to him which he heard it anyway.
"Yeah we should." He nodded and walked in holding her hand and she didn't oppose it as well and followed him.
Hey Jack, You are reading this letter, meaning I am not around you anymore. It’s funny when you come to think of it, we have been living under the same roof for so long but when it came to leaving, I don’t have the guts to face you and say my final goodbye. So I am writing you a letter, a letter that represents my cowardice. Thank you for giving me your friendship and the care that came along. I never realized that I had grown used to your care until now. You remember that night on the balcony you asked me ‘How you were portrayed in my eyes.’ I would like to answer that again, You Jack, you are the most annoying and stubborn person I have ever seen in my entire life. You seriously tore all our hard works into pieces without thinking deep just because you did not want me to leave. You bunk working hours and somehow always catch Sandra’s attention. You ranked 1st when it came to getting on my nerves in the initial days at the office. But… you were also the one who stood with a handke
“It feels weird to be in this room and not see Alice,” all the memories with Alice flushed back the minute they stepped in the bedroom. “I miss her too,” Stefen said. “Come,” he pulled her in and closed the door behind. Jasmine’s sadness turned into nervousness the moment she heard their bedroom door shut. She was starting to have second thoughts on letting Stefen stay with her for the night. Stefen left the hold of her hand and went to lay on the bed. He stretched his one arm on the other side of the bed, a bit lower from the pillow and titled his head, asking her to come and sleep beside him. She was happy to see him not in rush for anything and the respect he gave her and their relationship. She walked on the other side of the bed and laid on top of his hand as he caressed her hair and then embraced her back. She also hugged him tight as she rested her head near his chest, feeling his heart beat. He kissed her forehead and pulled her closer to him, “good night my princess, swee
“Are you sure about this?” Stefen said as he kept both his hands on both side of his pants pocket… helpless. “Yeah,” Alice said as she was almost done packing. She had reached Jack's apartment before anyone else and she had changed into her comfortable clothes as she started packing all her things up. “When will you be back? You will be right?” Jasmine asked standing beside Stefen, equally helpless. “I don’t know,” Alice gave a false smile. “Can we do anything to make you stay?” Stefen asked. “I HAVE TO GO. The plane ticket is expensive you know…” Alice laughed, completely failing to prove that she was fine with all this. “But I thought you were staying. you said you’d throw away the ticket,” Jasmine asked befuddled. “Well then, it’s good I didn’t, right?” She forced smile again. “Can I ask you for a last favor? Can you drop me to the airport?” Alice asked Stefen. “That's not gonna be a problem but... let’s just wait for some time. Jack must be on his way. Let me call him-” S
Jack looked at Alice hearing her as he narrowed his eyebrows, questioning her what she meant. “You don’t have anything to worry about,” Alice looked back at Jack with tears threating to fall down anytime. “Because we are not together… and we will never be together,” tears rolled down her cheek as she said those words. But she immediately wiped her tears and smiled. She gave one last glance to Jack and she walked away without another word. “Alice?” Jasmine followed her. Jack stood still, processing what Alice said. Just few hours back Alice promised to be by his side despite any hurdles and now she was contradicting her own words. Realizing that he can’t let her go he walked forward to go after her but he was held back by Alison. “Where are you going?” she questioned him. “Don’t tell me you are going after her after hearing all the things I’ve just said,” she was exasperated. Seeing that he was being the extra in the conversation Stefen approached Jack and tapped his back, “I’ll g
Alice reached the top floor and when she went to the roof no one was there. “Ha,” she gave a short sarcastic laugh. “Another prank-” But before she could say anything more, she was pushed from behind and she fell on her knees and hands. The slit dress contributed in bruising her knees. She turned around to see the person and was out of words at the sight. Alison stood tall in front of her with a cunning smile. “Hello there! Are you hurt?” sarcasm was evident in her voice. “What the- it was you all along?” Alice said slowly getting back on her feet, dusting her hands, suppressing the pain her new bruises gave her. She was shocked. “Surprise,” Alison moved her hands from her head to toe presenting herself. “Do you like my surprise?” “There,” Stefen pointed at a TV. “There’s Alice.” “She's on the rooftop," Jasmine exclaimed. "Let's go." "Okay, I will call Jack and tell him to be there," Jasmine picked her phone and dialed his number. They rushed towards the elevator and pressed o
“Okay everyone,” the host stood with a mic and grabbed all the attention with his voice audible from all the speakers from all the directions. “The most awaited time has finally arrived. Grab your partner and be ready, because today the sun will set only after witnessing 'A Beautiful Couple Dance'. So hurry up and ask for the permission to dance… LIGHTS,” the lights in the hall all went off and in the center blue and white lights glowed, making the air more calm and peaceful. Couples started coming forward and dancing along the music, under the blue and white light in a slow and romantic tune. The lights gave a winter vibe and the dance between two hearts warmth the place. “Can I have the honor?” Stefen opened his hand. “It would be mine,” Jasmine placed her hand on top and they walked towards the dancing area. “Will you dance with me?” Jack asked… unsure. “I don’t know, I am a terrible dancer,” she wasn’t lying. “Then that makes the two of us.” Alice chuckled and accepted his h
