Chapter 28 Why Him?
Jasmine came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe while drying her hair with a hand towel. Water droplets dropped from her hair to her face, sliding down to her chest.
Standing in front of her mirror, she stopped her movements to stare at herself in the mirror.
The encounter with Jack replayed in her head and she couldn’t help but tighten her grip on the towel while cussing inaudibly under her breath.
That same moment, her phone rang pulling her from her thoughts. She quickly find her phone, it was Nicole calling. She answered the call and placed the phone close to her ear. "Hey." Her voice shifted a little too soon.
"Hello, I hope you’ve been well, I just called amidst my busy schedule to tell you that I’ll be coming back to the country in two days. Please prepare to come pick i and Hailey at the airport." Nicole kept talking, making plans for them and Jasmine happily indulged her.
After their girly conversation, Jasmine got off the phone with Nicole with a big smile on her face. Her best friend was finally coming back to LA with her goddaughter, Hailey.
She would be less lonely for a while, with that in mind, Jasmine removed her bathrobe and wore a simple Nightgown that covered most of her body.
She let her hair down and combed it before applying a body lotion. Once done, Jasmine hurried downstairs to go meet the old man who came to visit them.
Getting to the table, she spotted Grandpa Elm and Kingsley already waiting for her in the dining hall.
"Sorry for keeping you both waiting." She giggled a little as she came nearer.
Kingsley only threw her a look before returning his eyes to his phone, not expecting Jasmine to come near.
