Molten Chocolate - S01 E34

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 34

Jasmine's POV

"Can we please have this to go? I'm not feeling so good suddenly," I lied.

"What's wrong, sweetie?" Concern in his voice as his eyebrows creased on his forehead.

"I think I might be coming down with the cold or something. Can we just go, like, right now?"

"Sure. Lets get you home."

Shooting up from my seat, I took the lead and walked out the cafe easily and unseen.

"You can't be serious! You're doing exactly what I told you not to do," Zenia grilled me like I was the younger one. I had told her what transpired at the cafe. "You're just lucky he hadn't seen you. You're playing with fire and you're going to get burned if you don't settle those flames. Just make up your mind and stop playing games with those two men.

"It's either you forgive Bradley completely and accept him back in your life, or just tell Evan everything and he could give you back the money to refund Bradley, since you feel you owe him so much, and then you can send him on his way and get him out of your life."

"It's not even that simple."

"It is that simple; you're making it complicated. Anyways, I have to get to work now. Have a nice day." She planted a quick kiss on my cheek and ran out the door.

Mom had already left for her job before I got back so I was home alone. It was July and I was thankful for the day off. I was so exhausted from that trip.

I put on the television and decided to look at GSDC-- Gossip and Sweet Drama Channel. Lo and behold, Jessica Hills was being interviewed and it peaked my interest, since I had slept with her ex.

"So Jessica, what's this rumor about you and Evan Hollen being engaged?" the interviewer asked.

"Oh Patty, it's not a rumor. It's a fact, actually."

"Why hasn't it gone public yet?"

"Evan doesn't want it to hit the fan just yet. His parents don't even know about it, so I'm only saying this now because you've managed to put me on the spot." She answered and giggled.

I scoffed as I drank some water.

"Jessica, I just want to congratulate you on that, but something surfaced recently, and that's one of the main reasons we called you to the show."

"What's that Patty?"

The monitor screen showed a picture of Evan and me in the Bahamas. We were holding hands walking through the hotel lobby. I choked on the water. I knew something like this would happen.

Jessica laughed-- a very nasty laugh. "Her? Oh Patty, I thought it was something bigger than that."

"Do you know her?"

"Of course I know her. She's his assistant. Jasmine Blackman."

"But don't you think she's looking a bit too comfortable with your fiance?"

"Oh don't you worry about that. Maybe I was too friendly with her at his office so she got the wrong impression about me. She'll feel my wrath for that little stunt she's trying to pull. I think she's just desperate and wants attention or a spotlight...or a bonus!" she finished off with another nasty laugh.

I felt sick. I turned the television off.

I had just started going out with Evan and it had already started. I had a feeling more attacks were absolutely coming my way. I felt vulnerable, suddenly, and I was home alone.
