Our Girl

Bonus XV

After their wedding

Alex

"Hey boss. There are some-" I put my finger to my lips when Joseph walked in. He nodded his head as a form of apology and told me what he needed to do in a whisper, due to Jasmine sleeping on my shoulder.

She was certainly out cold but I needed her to sleep. Dr O'Connor had given her some medicine to help her sleep yesterday but she refused to take it because she was supposedly fine but Leo slipped it in her lunch so here we are.
Also Michael would kill me if he finds out Jasmine hasn't slept after the doctor's visit.
Why me? I have no idea.

"Al, the guys- oh thank God" Michael let out a sigh of relief whilst walking towards me when he saw Jasmine sleeping on my shoulder. "How long has she been out?"

"Eight hours, I think. She woke up once or twice for water though."

"That's incredible." He stroked her hair gently before leaning down to kiss the back of her head "Everyone is downstairs by the way" he informed, talking about the poker game Colin organised at ours.

I nodded in understandment before he left as I, very gently and softly, played with Jasmine's hair whilst going back to what I was doing.

~·~

"Good morning sunshine" I saw Jasmine open her eyes whilst sleeping on the couch where I moved her in the ß be more comfortable.

She glared at me and turned onto her stomach and hid her face in her inner elbow with a sigh.

"Are you hungry, princess? Or do we still want to sleep"

She shrugged but stayed there. Sleep it is I guess.

"Where's Michael and Leo?" She mumbled.

"Dead. Finally"

She turned her head and glared at me. "Alex."

"Downstairs"

"What time is it?"

"Twelve"

"In the morning?"
I nodded
"How long have I been asleep?"

I shrugged "Nine hours? It's been a while." I turned my laptop off and turned my chair to face her. "How do you feel?"

"Tired" she turned back onto her back. "I don't even know how I fell asleep. I didn't take the medicine" she rubbed her eyes. "Did I sleep through dinner?"

"Yup. Are you hungry?"

She nodded. I got up and held my hand out for her which she took and got up.
"Have you fed them?" She stopped by my fish tank, tapping on the glass gently.

"Of course I have." I pulled her infront of me as we went to the kitchen where I heated up a burrito Leo had made for her.

"I didn't mean to sleep that long and miss dinner. I'm sorry" she said halfway through dinner.

"Don't apologise princess but we can't let it happen again. You will take the medicine at a reasonable time at night" I said, leaving no room for objections. She sighed but agreed.

"Come" I led her downstairs once she finished dinner.
We walked downstairs and headed towards the poker room where she opened the door but immediately closed it and turned around, bumping into my chest, causing me to hold the back of her head to avoid her hitting the door.
"What happened?"

"There's so many males" she whispered.

"Do you want to go upstairs? I don't mind" I whispered back.

"No...it's okay. I'll just go and wear a proper t-shirt first-" she looked down at the tank top she was wearing with grey sweatpants. She was about walk past me but I pulled her back by her wrist and took off my sweater. "Thank you" she smiled up at me. I nodded my head and kissed the top of her head before leading back in.

"Look who it is" Colin smiled when we walked in.

She immediately went behind me after Michael and Leo kissed her on the way before she followed me to empty seat left for me. I patted my thigh so she could sit on my lap whilst we played.

"So how have you been, Jasmine?" Lucas asked her whilst Henry shuffled the cards.

"I've been good. You?" She rested her head on my shoulder.

"I always forget you're English. I've been alright" he replied.

"Say Jasmine, how's Hardeep? I haven't heard from him in ages" Tony leaned forward.

"He's good. I think him and my sister are going to come here in-"

"Two weeks" I mumbled.

"Two weeks. With their kids"

"What's it like-"

"Christ Almighty. Stop with the fucking questions. Leave her alone" Henry interrupted, making Jasmine chuckle. "You know how to play?"
She shook her head.
"That's okay. That cunt behind you will teach you" he nodded towards me, making Jasmine chuckle again.

~·~

"Stop smiling" I put my hand over Jasmine's mouth when it was her turn "Where do you think the term 'poker face' comes from?" I whispered in her ear, making her smile even wider.

~·~

"Who invited you?" Lucas sighed, throwing his cards on the table when Jasmine won for the fourth time in a row.

"Your mum" she mumbled, making me to pinch her thigh whilst she collected her chips. "Beginners luck I guess" she smirked.

~·~

"How much did you fucking put in her food?" Michael asked Leo, following me whilst I carried Jasmine's sleeping body in my arms.

She had fallen asleep in the middle of game which made the others incredibly happy due to the fact they had a chance to win.

"I put the recommended amount. It's not my fault she had four glasses of rum and coke." Leo defended.

"And who's fault is that?"

"In her defense-"

"You shut up" Michael cut me off. "You're the one who gave her all those drinks" he called me out, making me shut up.

"Stop shouting" Jas mumbled in my neck. She straightened up and looked around with her arms draped over my shoulders whilst I walked up the stairs. "What time is it?"

"Four" Leo replied, making her groan and put her head back in the crook of neck but when we reached the landing, Michael gently pulled her head back and placed a kiss on her lips as Leo did the same before they both said goodnight and headed towards their room whilst I headed back to mine with Jasmine.

"I need to go to the club tomorrow" I informed when I put her on my bed.

"Why?" She opened her eyes, keeping her arms around my neck so I had my hands on either side of her waist to support me up.

"Just to see how things are doing. Do you want to come?"

She shook her head and closed her eyes, not letting go of me. I tried to pull her arms off me but she whined and pulled me closer. "Jasmine. Let me take off my fucking t-shirt" I kissed her softly.

She overdramatically groaned but let go, allowing me to take my t-shirt and trousers off before I climbed under the covers, on top of her and rested my head in between her boobs as she pulled the covers over both of us whilst I guided her hand to my hair so she can play with it until I fell asleep.

"I love you" I mumbled.

She kissed the top of my head "I love you more"

"Not possible" I replied, making her tug my hair gently.
