Jasmine closes her eyes expecting Brandon's lips to crash on her lips anytime soon, her heart is busy beating right now.

Brandon leaned down but his lips went to her neck, he inhaled air into her neck and Jasmine shivered just from that.

it sent shivers down her spine.

He kissed her neck, it's the most sensitive point of her body, only the kiss made her almost mad but she controlled it and sighed.

He started sucking her neck, Jasmine can't help it, she tried to fight him off but it's impossible, his lips on her neck are heavenly and a true definition of perfection.

He kept kissing her neck, sucking slowly, but that's enough to drive her crazy now, his hands on her waist sending butterflies to the pit of her stomach, busy flapping their wings there.

She can't help but m*an slowly.

Right now is the perfect time in his life.

"How did he know my most sensitive point?" Jasmine wondered inside her.

Brandon made it soft and gentle, his hands soon found his head and she buried her hands in his hair.

She wishes it never ends, her touch is the best.

The moment Brandon pulled up, he made sure he had left hickeys on his neck.

They remain in this position looking at each other with so much affection.

He touched her cheek and bit it gently.

"You are so beautiful Jasmine" Brandon said with the sexiest voice.

Jasmine blushed and looked him shyly in the eyes, she can't believe what's going on.

"We're friends now, aren't we?" Brandon questioned as his finger traced his cheek.

"Yeah" Jasmine nodded and her face immediately lit up.

"So you can stop calling me those awful names" Brandon asked and she smiled.

"Okay, I'm going to stop calling you that, and you too stop calling me crazy" answered Jasmine sulking gently.

"I can't believe you have a calm side, your crazy side is scary but you're still pretty," Brandon said.

"You're trying to flirt with me, aren't you?" she asked making baby faces.

"Maybe, we're friends, so am I wrong to admire my friend's pretty face, eh" he said and he took her in his arms, wrapping her in his arms again, he patted her back, stroking her hair and she smiled sweetly.

"Pervert friend, I have a lesson now," Jasmine said pulling him out of the clinic.

* Lunch time

"He's so mean, I can't believe he asked such tough questions to our group, it's good we have you in our group Jasmine" Selene said patting Jasmine back.

"So where are we going to do the group work?" Andy asked.

“My house of course,” Selene replied.

"I'm kinda stuck now, what about my job? If I keep not going to work, I might get fired," Jasmine said sadly.

"I'll find you a more suitable and more comfortable job baby," Selene said gently and her mood brightened.

"Really," Jasmine replied.

"Yes baby" Selene said hugging her.

" I love you "

"I love you too, you're the best" replied Jasmine.

"I'm jealous" Lisa said in a childish voice.

"Come here" Selene smiles and hugs her too.

They head to the cafeteria for lunch.

"Hi girls" A voice said behind them, they turned around and saw Bella walking towards them.

Andy blushed slightly and faced the other side.

"Hi Bella" They waved at her.

"Uhn, I want to talk to you nicely for a minute," Bella said, pointing to Andy.

"Ohh, excuse me girls" Andy smiled and followed

"Um, I want…" Bella started to say but her words stuck in his throat, he had never been nervous talking to a woman before, he wondered why he was suddenly getting nervous.

"What did you mean?" Andy asked curiously.

“Can you go out with me? Bella said.

"Are you asking me on a date?" Andy asked smiling.

"Yeah kinda" he replied.

"Yeah, when?" Andy asked.

"Saturday, 6:00," Bella said and she gave him a wink and left.

"Did he just wink at me?" Andy narrowed his eyes and ran to join his friends.

* Cafeteria.

Andy walked into the cafeteria and went to sit with her friends, she smiled shyly and sat down next to Lisa.

"What's up girls? She winked at them.

"Finished talking to your crush huh?" Lisa asked.

"Bitch" She swore and blushed

"What did he tell you?" Jasmine asked as she ate her rice.

"He asked me out," Andy replied, holding his hand.

"So sweet, can't wait for you two to become couples," Selene said.

"Selene" she called and frowned.

"What! You don't have a crush on him?" Selene said.

"New idea, Jasmine is now Brandon's friend," Lisa said.

"Omg" Andy shouted.

** Fernando Mansion

Mia lit her cigarette and put out the smoke, she sat elegantly in the living room smoking, the door open and Marcus walked in with a frown on his face,

the fact that he's going to set eyes on Mia is something he's not happy about.

"Miss Mia" called Marcus and Mia scoffed.

She gave him a menacing look.

"How dare you call my name?" she asked as she measured him and climbed

"I'm sorry," Marcus said pleadingly.

"Better to be a thug," she replied.

"Marcus," he said.

"I don't care what your fucking disgusting punk name is" Mia shouted as she stood up

Marcus laughed at her rudeness, how can someone be so mean, arrogant and bitchy, with the way she smokes, she disgusts him but he doesn't dare say a word, she is capable of anything

"You ask for my presence" says Marcus

"I want you out, I want you to go around Hollywood and stop giving me that look if you still want your fucking bastard job," Mia said before leaving.

B*tch* Marcus mumbled a little loudly.

* Night

"Mom, how does it feel to be in love?" Jasmine asked as she sat down next to her mother.

Mabel raised her eyebrows, she had never asked him that, she is surprised.

"It's great, it's the best thing anyone could wish for, but it comes with pain, betrayal, heartbreak and heartache, only the strong carry on, you see the love of a child brings happiness, joy, peace but it can also bring sadness,” Mabel said, stroking her hair.

"I always wonder what it will be like to be loved and to love someone," Jasmine said as she rested her head in her mother's lap.

"Be strong baby, when you fall in love, trust your partner, trust and understanding are the things that make a relationship strong ok" Mabel replied and Jasmine smiled.

"You are the best of moms" said Jasmine.

" I love you baby"

* Place Noémie

She is slightly ill, she hasn't been able to go to her place of work, she is in her bed covered with the duvet.

She misses Shelton terribly, she wishes he was here with her, she regrets not telling him that statement, she is still in her thoughts, when the knock on the door she wondered who it could be , she is Not expecting anyone, she got up lazily and walked towards the door which she opened and her eyes widened.

"Shelton" called Naomi.

"Naomi" says Shelton

They stood there staring at each other without saying a word, surprised Naomi pulled him into a hug.

★★★★★

Shelton's face showed how shocked he was as she hugged him, he watched her hug him unbelievably

He didn't expect this, he can't believe this is happening, she hated him and now she's hugging him herself, it feels good not to be true, but it's happening for real.

He hugged her and stroked her hair, their hearts beating so fast they both felt it.

Naomi couldn't believe she hugged him of her own free will, she couldn't fight anymore, even though she didn't know anything about him but her heart fell deeply in love with him, she couldn't deny it anymore.

Being in his arms is the best feeling, the feeling is different from the one she got from James, she remembered him but surprisingly she wasn't hurt.

Shelton felt his body and he was burning, his temperature is a little higher.

They stayed like that for almost two minutes before Shelton broke the embrace

"Why are you here?" Naomi asked looking down, avoiding his gaze.

"You're sick, your body is burning," Shelton said avoiding her question because it didn't matter right now.

"I'm fine," she said.

"Stop lying to me, I know you're not okay, admit it already," he said.

"Okay, I'm a little sick, you're fine now" replied Naomi smiling.

"You haven't answered my question," Naomi added.

"I just wanted to check that you were okay" replied Shelton slowly.

"Why?" Naomi asked.

"I don't know" replied Shelton, he is already tired of his questions.

"I thought you would never approach me, I'm sorry for my action" said Naomi

"I can't avoid you, have I missed you?" Shelton says and she immediately looks at his face

"I missed you too," she replied, slowly cupping her lower lip.

Right now, she doesn't want to lie anymore, not anymore since she felt the same way.

Shelton suddenly held his face in his palms

He kissed her on the forehead and it sent tingles through her stomach.

"You are so beautiful," Shelton said with so much affection in her eyes.

Naomi looked at him without knowing what to say, she blushed and continued to look at him endlessly.

Their heart is busy beating right now.

"Don't push me away okay, I love you so much," Shelton said kissing her nose.

"Shelton," she said, not knowing what to say.

"Hush, don't say a word, should I get you some drugs?" Shelton said.

"No, I'm fine, since you're here with me, I'm fine" Naomi said as she got into bed.

Shelton felt his heart rejoice at what she had just said, he walked over to the bed and sat down next to her, he touched her hair and she giggled.

"Touching my hair is expensive" Naomi says smiling

“I'm ready to pay any price to touch it. he replied and she smiled.

He held her hand and she immediately looked away.

"Get well," Shelton said with such concern.

"What if I don't?" Noami asked.

"I'm going to be sad," Shelton said sincerely and she stared at him for a long time.

"You are so sweet and beautiful" Naomi said in her thoughts.

"Naomi" called Shelton.

"Yes" she replied.

" What do you think ? he asked.

"Nothing" she replied, biting her lip.

He touched her head with his hand and it was so comforting that she fell asleep.

★★

** The next morning

She woke up to see Shelton sleeping next to her.

She sat down properly and looked at him, he is still sleeping, he is so cute even when he is sleeping

She studied his face and smiled, "He's so cute, even in his sleep he's so handsome." She thought and felt the urge to touch his face.

She reached up to touch her face but Shelton suddenly woke up and caught her.

"What are you doing?" he asked, staring at her hand.

"Uh, I just wanted to touch your hair," she replied uncomfortably.

Shelton knew she was lying but let it pass.

"Thank you for staying with me," she said.

"Thank you also for allowing me to stay by your side" he said with a nice smile

She went mute and started watching again

"I know I'm beautiful," he said pulling her out of her thoughts.

"Stop the pride, you're ugly" she said, hitting him lightly

"Really" he said with a wink.

"Jasmine aren't you going out, or do you want me to drag you myself" Mabel shouted in the kitchen, she needs a hand.

"Ohh, mum, I'm coming" moaned Jasmine

She was given a day off, which means she has no work today.

She brushed and went to the kitchen and met her mom, who is frying potatoes, the aroma is captivating and she is already salivating.

"Gosh mum, the aroma is so good, what are you frying?" she asked, stepping closer to take a look.

"Potatoes" replied Mabel

"Can I taste mum?" she asked gently.

"No baby, not yet until I've finished frying it," Mabel said.

"Please mum, please" she said in a pleading tone like a baby

"Okay baby you can" replied Mabel still supporting her

Jasmine took one and bit, her expression changed and she smiled.

"Mom is the best" said Jasmine

“I know, I'm the best cook in the whole world, you're going to stay with me today,” Mabel asked.

"No, I'm going to visit my friend" answered Jasmine.

"But Naomi is at work," Mabel replied.

" No it's not Noami, it's my classmate " replied Jasmine taking another chip

"Ohh, I forgot, that must be a nice girl," Mabel replied, turning off the stove.

"She's really nice" answered Jasmine

"Help me bring the stew to the dining table" Mabel said as she walked out.

"OK Mom"

* Fernando Mansion

Daddy, I'm fine" said Mia on the phone

I hope the maids give you what you want? asked Mr. Fernando.

Yes dad, but I don't like my driver, he's rude and very disrespectful, I want you to fire him," Mia said.

Marcus is a good guy, he's been working for me for 3 years now, you just don't know him, you'll like him over time, trust me,” Mr. Fernando said.

Where is Mom ? and when are you coming back? Mia asked.

She got out, I don't know when," Mr. Fernando replied.

Ok dad, I love you"

I love you my daughter "

Mia opened her closet and started looking for what to wear, none of the dresses are to her liking, she started scattering them angrily.

"I need new clothes, I hate these clothes, they're all trendy," she said and went downstairs.

** Averities nova clothing line.

Mia gracefully entered the building with a maid following behind her

“Hello mom, you are welcome to the nova clothing line” A worker greeted her.

"I want to change my wardrobe" said Mia without sparing a response to her greetings.

"Okay mum, over here" the employee said and she followed.

She is taken to the section where the best clothes are neatly hung, all kinds of expensive clothes, shoes, underwear, jewelry.

"I like it," she said.

She started selecting her choice, after two hours she was done.

She went to the cashier and made the payment

"I want these clothes delivered to my house" she says to the manager, who smiles stupidly, the sales made by her alone are so good.

"Okay mum, your address" she answered.

Mia gave her address and started going out, she walks out as Brandon walks in, they both passed each other

"What the hell are you st…" Mia trailed off when her eyes met Brandon.

She looked at his face, lost in his beauty, he's like a demigod, she almost whipped him, his eyes are so perfect, his lips, his beauty, Mia is struck looking at him, her heart started to beat fight, she loves him already.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Brandon asked angrily.
