Brandon and Jasmine came to their senses, they quickly turned around and saw Jenny looking at them with a certain look, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

Jasmine pushed Brandon away from her and ran away leaving Jenny who was still in her fright.

"Brandon, what does that mean?" Jenny said shyly.

She found her voice.

"The meaning of what?" Brandon asked.

"Last time I checked, you hate her, don't tell me you're falling in love with her?" Jenny asked.

Brandon chuckled and smiled.

"I still hate her, what do you care if I fell in love with her, we're not dating, so it broke," Brandon replied icily.

"You're cheating on me Brandon, I love you can't you see huh" cried Jenny.

She is deeply hurt to see them together, the fact that Brandon hates Jasmine makes her feel good but seeing them now, the way they both looked at each other, she just knows it won't be long before something happens. begins to happen with them.

"I never told you you were my girlfriend, I never liked you, I can't like no girl, I was just fucking you Jenny, you don't understand, I don't like you and I don't never will I love you or I still love you, my heart is stuck on loving girls, just know it's over between us, stay away from me Jenny Fernando." Brandon said.

He opened the door and entered.

Jenny almost fainted, she can't believe these words are coming from Brandon, it seems he is very serious, she let her tears flow freely, she slowly turned around and left.

Along the way, she passes Shelton, her eyes now red from tears.

Shelton's heart started pounding so hard that he tried to avoid her but found himself moving closer to her.

“Get out of my way, loser,” Jenny shouted at Shelton.

"Jenny what's wrong.."

Jenny pushed Shelton and ran away, she went straight to her car and asked her driver to take her home.

Shelton stood there, confused, wondering what had happened to her.

"What's wrong with her? I still love her even after what she did to me." Shelton shook his head and continued on his way.

** Junior class.

Jasmine has been silent since she came back from the Brandon salon.

Her friends notice and try to ask her what's wrong, but she keeps saying she's fine.

Currently a biology lesson is going on in the class, she loses her concentration.

“Miss Jasmine, can you explain the theory of evolution to us? asked the professor.

Jasmine gasped.

She stood up slowly and didn't know where to start, it's not like she didn't know but right now her mind is clouded by Brandon's face.

She tried to say it but her brain is blank.

"I don't think I can explain it mum," Jasmine said coldly.

"Okay, but that's not like you, you look dull today and you're not paying attention to my lesson, what's wrong?" asked the professor.

"Nothing my" answered Jasmine, nodding positively.

“Something is really wrong with her, I can feel it, even though she denies it, something must have happened between her and Brandon,” Selene said.

"Yeah, I think so," Lisa and Andy replied in unison.

"What's wrong with me, what is Brandon doing to me? Why can't I get his face out of my head" Jasmine thought and sighed.

†††††

Brandon is supposed to have a lesson but he turned it down, only Edward and Bella went.

He can't concentrate well, all he sees now is Jasmine's face, even though he denies it. He felt good when she was in his arms, the feelings were different from those he had from his ex.

He can't believe he almost kissed her, he would have kissed her if Jenny hadn't interrupted the moment.

"God, I'm going crazy now, I can't be in love with her, I hate her," Brandon said with a sigh trying to convince himself he didn't love her.

** Fernando Mansion.

Jenny is in tears, she hasn't changed her uniform since she came home from school, she is lying on the sofa and crying.

Why would Brandon do such a thing to her, it's not like they were dating, but she wanted it to be official, everything would have fallen into place if Jasmine hadn't intervened.

All these thoughts ran through Jenny's mind and her hatred for Jasmine grew.

Her most dreaded moment came true, what she felt was happening, her instincts were right.

"I hate you Jasmine, you can't have Brandon, no one can take him away from me, I'm going to make him fall in love with me" Jenny shouted.

One of the cleaners heard her scream and rushed over to check that she didn't know she was making a mistake.

“Miss, are you okay? The housekeeper seeing his rough state.

Jenny looked at her wickedly and she flinched, backed away, she began to shiver.

"And who are you to ask me if I'm okay, are you my parents?" Jenny shouted.

She quickly got to her knees.

"I'm sorry, I heard you scream that's why I'm asking, I'm sorry" the maid said pleadingly.

"Come here" said Jenny.

She got up and walked towards her, but she could tell what was going on, Jenny gave her a hard slap that knocked her down.

Jennifer came down on her giving her the beating of her life, Jenny kept hitting her transferring her anger onto her.

She left her half-conscious and went upstairs.

★★★

Classes are over, Jasmine, Selene, Lisa and Andy come out, Brandon arrives.

Selene saw Brandon coming towards them.

"That's my stupid brother" Selene said.

Immediately Jasmine heard this, she said goodbye to them and rushed off.

"Something's wrong with her, I'll find out from Brandon, he's not hiding anything from me." Selene said they went to their prospect cars and drove off.

"Hi buddy" Bella said.

He comes with Edward.

"Yeah man" replied Brandon.

"Who's that girl with your sister?" Bella asked as she saw Andy drive off.

"That stupid question, if you want to know, go ask my sister, I'm going home" Brandon said and got into his car.

"I'll take care of it mehn let's go brother" Bella said.

**

Jasmine came home after a few minutes, she's lucky to get a taxi so fast, she unlocked the door and went inside, it seems her mother got out.

Her mother sells cakes and other baked goods in the small market near them.

She fell tired on the worn chair and sighed.

“He almost kissed me”

"Why was I so weak in his arms, I couldn't fight my feelings, I wanted to discuss it with Naomi" Jasmine said, she took her backpack and headed to her room.

** Johnson Manor

Brandon hasn't come out of his room since he got home from school, he thinks back to what happened hours ago.

He has this feeling and wants to see Jasmine.

“I have to apologize to him”

"What! Did I say I'll apologize to her? The word 'sorry' isn't in my dictionary, it's nothing far off, we hate each other and nothing can change that, which happened has nothing to do with it.

His thoughts are interrupted by Selene who has just entered.

Brandon lifts his head and looks at Selene who gives him a certain look.

“Learn to kick witch, before you ever see my dick,” Brandon said.

"You gotta say it, eish," Selene replied.

"What's that look?" Brandon asked.

"What did you do to Jasmine?" Selene asked.

Brandon raises his eyebrows looking at Selene.

" Eh "

"Stop staring at me and answer my fucking question Brandon, what happened between you and Jasmine at school today?" Selene asked.

"She told you something happened between us?" Brandon replied.

"Nothing happened between the two of us," Brandon answered, avoiding her gaze.

"You are definitely hiding something from me, you always avoid my eyes when you lie big brother. She was in a bad mood since she came back from your living room, she couldn't answer a question in class, she was losing her concentration" said Selene.

"I said nothing happened," Brandon shouted.

“You fucking screamed at me,” Selene yelled back and jumped on Brandon, she started punching him.

He smiled and stopped her, he hugged her and stroked her hair.

"Come on sister, nothing happened, sorry for yelling at you," Brandon said kindly.

Selene smiles and faces him.

"You'll be very romantic if you decide to fall in love," Selene said and Brandon frowned.

"You started your classes, huh? Try getting a little sister boyfriend," Brandon said.

"I love you big bro" Selene said.

"I hate you for being a pain in my ass," Brandon said.

Selene started hitting him again.

"Okay stop sis, I love you Okay" Brandon between two laughs.

"What was Jasmine doing in your living room?" Selene asked.

"To thank me for helping her mom, I was surprised that she could say thank you," Brandon replied.

"Is that the only thing that happened there?" Selene asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, let me go now please" Brandon said pleadingly.

Selene kisses his neck before rising from his body.

“I will surely find myself a model,” Selene said and left.

"So crazy, I have a crazy sister," Brandon muttered.

** MEXICO.

A car pulled up in front of a very beautiful seven star hostel, couples got out of the car, just by the look of them you'll know they're very rich, fucking rich, well couples ain't other than Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.

The seven star hostel is the best and the most exotic, the most expensive, the most standard and everything you can think of a good hotel in Mexico, it has the biggest pool, the best food, the best suite for relaxation and the rest.

They are in Mexico to establish their branch (JB Company)

Mr. and Mrs. Johnson walked into the hotel beautifully, even their footsteps display money.

They entered the elevator with their bodyguards.

The elevator stopped at the 7th floor and they got out.

The automatic glass door opened and they walked in, holding hands.

"Hello sir and my" The employee in charge of welcoming people at the hotel welcomes them.

"This way sir," she said again.

Mr Johnson looks at his wife and they both smile at each other.

A table is carefully set for them, they sit down with the bodyguards standing behind them.

"Your order sir and mum" said the waitress as she placed the menu on the table.

Mr Johnson opened the menu and started checking it out.

“I think I will have vegetables and chicken,” Mr Johnson said.

"I'll go with a bottle of Hinkle wine and some rice," said Mrs. Johnson.

"Okay mum and sir" said the waitress with a bow.

Their food is brought and they begin to eat.

"You are so gorgeous," Mr Johnson said.

Ms. Johnson blushed and looked away.

"You make me blush dear, thank you, you look better every day," Mrs. Johnson replied.

"Awnn, you are the best wife in the whole universe," Mr Johnson said.

Mrs. Johnson is going crazy right now, she's blushing heavily and she can't hide it.

"Honey, let's eat our food before it gets cold" Mrs. Johnson.

"Okay, if my gem says so," Mr Johnson replied.

The glass door opened, Mr. and Mrs. Fernando entered, followed by their guards.

He widened when he saw Mr Johnson with his beautiful wife.

“Who do we have here,” Mr. Fernando said as he walked towards Mr. Johnson.

Mr Johnson turned and saw him, a smile forming on his lips and he stood up.

"Fernando, it's a pleasure" Mr. Johnson holding out his hand.

Mr. Fernando received it and shook it.

"It's a pleasure to see you for a long time," said Mr. Fernando.

His wife and Mrs Johnson waved to each other.

"Nice to see you," Mrs. Johnson said.

"It is with great pleasure," replied Mrs. Fernando.

“I see you are having a great time with your beautiful wife, can we join you? asked Mr. Fernando.

"Of course you can, that will be a pleasure," Mr Johnson said.

They took the remaining chairs, soon their food is brought in front of them.

"So, how's your son?" asked Mrs. Fernando.

"He's fine, how's your daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Johnson asked back.

“Mia is fine, she will return to Hollywood and I hope you connect her with your son,” Mr. Fernando said.

"Yeah, I'm thinking about it," replied Mr Johnson.

"I will be happy if they get along well," Fernando said.

"We'll make sure of that," Ms Johnson said.

“By the way, you look radiant,” Ms. Fernando said.

"Thanks, you don't look bad either," Mrs. Johnson replied.

** Pizzeria (Hollywood)

"You mean James did this to you?" Jasmine asked Naomi.

"Yeah honey, I felt like dying now," Naomi said, breaking down again.

"He didn't deserve your tears, stop already, you're breaking my heart" said Jasmine almost crying.

"Okay baby I won't, how are you doing with the psycho in your school?" Naomi asked.

" You mean Brandon? " Jasmine asked.

"Yeah" Naomi nodded.

"You know what I can do, we still hate each other, but these days things are changing, I kept seeing it in my dreams and thoughts. We're almost kissing today" Jasmine said lowering the eyes.

"What!!" Naomi shouted.

"Lower your voice" Jasmine silenced her.

"What really happened, how did it happen?" Naomi said happily.

"I can't explain it, ever since the day he helped my mum and finally saved me from falling down, I've been thinking about him lately, I've tried to fight back but I can't , and today, my God, I tried to resist him but I still found myself bending over to kiss him, I couldn't control myself, it was a force that controlled me" explains Jasmine .

Naomi sat across from her as she explained everything to him, she knew this moment she was developing feelings for him.

"I'm sorry to tell you, your heart is falling in love with him," Naomi said.

Jasmine gasped and looked at Naomi.

"It's not funny, I can't fall in love with him, he can't be my best friend," Jasmine replied.

"You can't tell your heart who to fall in love with baby, your heart loves people you don't expect, so believe me, you fall in love with him without realizing it, your heart was racing when he was about to kiss you when you think of him you smile i don't need you to say it but i know i was in love once remember you can't fight it baby," Naomi said.

"You're talking nonsense." Jasmine frowned.

"You're going to admit you bitch soon" Naomi said smiling.

"What!! You called me a bitch" Jasmine said and was about to punch her when her phone beeped.

"Another order," Naomi said.

She checked the notification and her face paled with sadness.

" What's wrong? " Jasmine asked noticing her sudden change in her face.

"The delivery location is at James' house," Naomi said, already getting emotional.

"God, baby, you can survive this, you'll find someone who really loves you, be bold to face him, he doesn't deserve your love in any way," Jasmine said hugging her.

"I love you" said Naomi.

"I love you too my little girl" answered Jasmine

"See you later, I'll be strong" Naomi smiled and left.

"Is it true that I'm falling in love with Brandon? No, it can't be true" Jasmine said and stood up as an order grabbed her phone.

* Minutes later.

Naomi arrived at James' house, the feeling returns but she tries very hard to fight it off.

"I can handle it," Naomi said, exhaling loudly before ringing the doorbell.

The door opened revealing James who is shirtless, Naomi's eyes took in his abs and chiseled chest, she got lost looking at him, her heart flutters, she can't stop loving him even after what he did, she would gladly accept it if he apologized to her.

She remembered the times they had spent together, the love he showed her, cuddling her, she came to her senses as James' new girlfriend called her name.

“Baby, why are you taking the time? James' girlfriend called as they walked out as well.

"You again, what are you doing where, I hope I told you to stay away from my boyfriend," she said.

Naomi glared at him before facing James.

"I'm here to deliver the package your fucking boyfriend ordered, lose the bitch, try to learn some manners, it'll help you be cocky" Naomi said angrily and pushed the package towards James and left.

"What!! She just called me an arrogant bitch" She snapped angrily and went inside.

Naomi let her tears flow freely, it really hurts, she can't stop loving him, seeing him just now makes things worse.

She walks distractedly by the side of the road, crying without caring about the passerby.

"Will I ever forget him, I'm confused now, love is cruel, James is the first guy I really love with my soul, he hurts me deep inside," Naomi cried more.

She continued to walk, she is looking for a taxi to bring her back, her scooter is damaged, she hasn't had a new one.

A stop near her and she wonders who it is.

"Do you need my help?"

The voice sounded so familiar to her, she turned around and saw him moaning on her car window, she didn't know when she was smiling.
