Taking chances

The body guards

Mercedes: *sees jasmine come round the corner of the main room So she gets up and goes straight over to give her a big hug because she can clearly see that jasmine is in a bigger state than when she got here* what the heck did Snixx do to you? ...Tell me and ill kick her ass right now? *was totally joking, she just wanted to seem overly protective like that to make jasmine laugh*

Jasmine: *did laugh a little because she has luckily never had to see much of the snixx that her grandma's friends talk so much about* she didn't do anything... this is all me and my messed up brain's doing! *swallows the lump in her throat*

Mercedes: *sighs because she hates seeing jasmine talk down on herself. She doesn't say anything straight away and just holds jasmine close* ...you remind me so much of your grandma, you know that?! *smiles as jasmine lifts her head from Mercedes' chest and smiles back*

Jasmine: *lets go of Mercedes so she can talk to her* how so? ...was she a cry baby too? *laughs because she cant imagine Santana being so Brocken and insecure. That's far from the woman she has seen and grown to absolutely adore*

Mercedes: well yeah... *laughs as does jasmines* but she is also one of the strongest people I've ever met because no matter how bad things get, she always manages to find the humour in the situation. and now that shes older she can look back and laugh and make jokes out of it! *smiles as jasmine smiles back* ...you will get there one day! I promise! *smiles as jasmines smiles back*

Jasmine: yeah... its one of the things i admire most about her! *smiles*

Mercedes: me too! *smiles

Santana: *just walked into the room with Carlos by her side when she saw Mercedes and jasmine smiling at each other* what the heck has she been telling you? *walks up to jasmine and pulls her in for a side hug*

Mercedes: down girl... Snixx jr, jr here was just telling me how much she adores you! *smiles as san smiles back then looks to jasmine for conformation as if Mercedes was just saying that to wind her up*

Jasmines: *smiles at her grandma* shes not just saying this to wind you up! *knew her grandma would be thinking that because of how much her and mercedes mess with each other*

Santana: *smiles even more because she rarely hears people saying stuff like that and actually mean it* thank you sweetheart! That really means a lot! ...ill be sure to rub that in your mama's face and say i told her so, later on. *laughs with the 2 woman in front of her as she remembers all the times Jessica would tell Santana off for being such a bad influence on her kids*

Carlos: *was smiling as he watched the 3 woman interact with each other. Then he catches jasmines eye, he gets a lump in his throat remembering the talk he just had with Santana* id hate to break up this
Lovely competitive talk you've got going on here... but i think its time jazzy and i head home so we can get back to Elliot and make sure he hasn't done anything stupid. *laughs as do the others* 

Santana: alright! Give me a call when you get in and tell Elliot i send him a big virtual hug. *smiles as she gives jasmine a hug and kiss on the cheek*

Jasmine: *smiles at her grandma* will do!

Carlos: try to stay out of trouble you too! *playfully glares at Mercedes and Santana. Santana playfully sticks her tongue out at Carlos making them all laugh some more*

Damian: *gets up from his seat to stand with Mercedes* don't worry! Ill be keeping them under control *they all laugh because he totally sounded like he didn't even believe his own statement*

Carlos: good luck with that, big guy! *gives Damian a quick bro hug like they always do. Taking jasmine by the hand he leads them both out to the car where Carlos then does his usual chivalrous act by opening the passenger door for jasmine then gets in the drivers seat and holds her hand again as they make there way back to their place* ...there doesn't seem to be anything too suspicious going on here! *looks around as they sit outside the flat*

Jasmine: *looks up at Elliot bedroom window and sees that the light is off* yeah! He must still be on the couch because he always has is light on otherwise. *smiles at Carlos as he smiles back*

Carlos: *takes the keys out the ignition and checks to make sure he has his phone in his pocket* come on... lets get you inside so you can put your feet up! *smiles at jasmines and sees the weight of the day finally hit her, making her slouch in her seat and look like she is seconds away from falling asleep*

Jasmine: *definitely felt the weight of the day on her shoulders so she just looks up at Carlos with her biggest puppy dog eyes* ...carry me? *speaks in a babyish voice to try and convince him a little bit more*

Carlos: *laughs a little at how cute jasmine look when she acts like that. He leans forward and gives her a quick kiss on the lips before getting out the car and going round to the passenger side* come on cutie! *picks jasmine up bridal style then kicks the car door shut before heading inside. Once they get up in the lift Carlos crouches down a little in front of jasmine, offering her a piggy back.* hop on! *once she is situated and holding on, he head over to the front door and goes straight in*

Elliot: *heard jasmine giggling in the hall, which he assumed that Carlos was doing something not so PG to jasmine now that they are together and Carlos doesn't have to hide how he really feels* hey you too! *sees that jasmine was getting a piggy back so he internally thanks the man above that it wasn't what he originally thought was happening. because thats just too weird for Elliot to want to imagine happening between his baby sister and his best friend* ...so nice of you two to actually show face before dark! *laughs because he doesn't actually mind being home alone and they are also fully grown adults so there isn't any need for them to have an actual curfew.*
