INSECURITIES.

CHAPTER 16.

After the kissing incident between Dave and Jasmine, they didn't hear from each other for a long period of time.
A lot was going on in their individual lives and they didn't have much time for each other as they used to.

Things changed drastically between them.

Their communication lessened but whenever Jasmine felt the need, she called him.

They could literally hear from each other once a month.

Dave was not as active on social media as he used to be too.
He claimed that all that mattered to him were his dreams and how to make them come to reality.

Jasmine on the other hand, was occupied with school work so she didn't really have time for Dave.
All of this didn't change her feelings for him tho.

One day when Jasmine was online chatting with her friends, a guy texted her asking if she wanted to vibe.
He seemed cool and so she let in.
They began to talk and he was somehow, in someway making her self confidence and self esteem grow bigger.

His name was Tokyo.
She liked him a lot and he also liked her.

The vibe between them was legit and they flowed well.

He told her he was once depressed but thankfully, he came out of it.
Several discussions led to others and it brought them to Dave.
She told him about her relationship with him and all.
She felt really comfortable around him for some reason and she always told him about all the guys that were hitting on her and all.

One night when they were both sharing their experiences on Love, she told him about how she got attached to Dave and how they couldn't date even if they happened to be in love with each other.

Or, even if she was in love with him.

She told him about how she had tried to leave a lot of times but something kept on bringing her back to him.
Tokyo could relate 100% and it just made her happy that at least, someone understood her. His love life was kinda rough too.

One night, Dave called Jasmine and she was complaining about the lack of attention she was receiving from him and how unsteady he had become online.

He told her she should get used to it because he won't always be there for her as he used to.
He also asked her to place someone above him but she didn't listen.
After the phone call,he came online and they began to chat.

He told her he had gotten a girlfriend and that is why she was receiving such vibe from him.

Jasmine froze the moment she saw that text.

She couldn't believe what she was reading.

She managed to compose herself and wished him well in his new relationship.
She immediately went to Tokyo to vent out to him.
He wasn't online at the moment so she just began her overthinking once again.
Her hands were shaking for some reasons she knew not.

Dave later told her it was a prank and she felt a huge relief.
He told her he wanted to see her reaction.
He as well told her that if he got a girlfriend, it would be private.

She asked him if he would tell her about it and he said he wouldn't.
That almost led to a misunderstanding between them.
For real, how would he get a girlfriend and not tell her about it as close as they were?

As if she sensed the fight coming, she changed the topic and asked about his senior brother who came around to stay with Dave for a while.

Dave told her that he asked him who she was because she followed him on Instagram and when he went to her page, he saw that Dave was also following her.
