Our Girl

After their wedding

Leo

"Mike. Look. She's crying" I crouched down next to his bed on the side Jas was sleeping as a few tears rolled down her cheeks.

"That is not surprising. Sweetheart." He poked her cheek.

"Jas. Jas. Jas. Jas." I repeatedly tapped her cheek until she opened her eyes slowly. "There we go" She grabbed my index finger and bent it backwards. "Ow! You wee shit" I snatched my hand back.

"Why were you crying?" Michael asked.

She smiled and turned around, hiding her face in her pillow. "I wasn't" she mumbled.

"Yeah you were. What happened?"

She let out a small muffled laugh "It was nothing. It was silly"

"Go on" I pushed.

"I had a dream you guys were eaten by the sand monster from Beetlejuice" she mumbled, making us laugh.
"Stop laughing. It was actually incredibly traumatizing." She mumbled, reluctantly getting out of bed and pushing past me to go into the bathroom.

"You were scared of the sand monster from Beetlejuice?" I sat down where she was sleeping, watching her tie her hair up messily to brush her teeth.

She side eyed me before closing the door, making me chuckle.

"What time will you be back, my love?" I called.

She opened the door with a toothbrush in her mouth and held up six fingers, making me groan and fall back onto the bed.

"Where's the wedding?" Michael walked in. I didn't even know he had gone. Jasmine held up a finger before quickly finishing brushing her teeth.

"In Cork....I think"

~·~

"What are you doing?" Alex asked, taking his shoes off.

"What?"

"Why are you pacing?" He looked at me weirdly.

I'm bored man. I want Jas back.

I shrugged "Thinking about dinner"

He looked at the clock "At three pm?"

"Cállate guero. cabreándome." I mumbled, taking my keys out of the bowl and walking out of the house "Going to the club" (Shut up man. Pissing me off.)

~·~

"Can you pick Jas up please? I need to take care of some stuff" Alex asked. I agreed and immediately got up and grabbed my sweater, telling Tony to take care of everything.

"Send me address. What time do I have to be there by?" I asked, getting in my car.

"Like right now"

"You little bitch. Why didn't you tell me you cunt. ¿Qué sucede contigo? Why would you tell me this late? Ahora ella tendrá que esperar. Are you thick? The fuck is wrong with you?-" I shouted into the phone (What's wrong with you?...Now she's going to have to wait.)

Was that a tad overdramatic? Yes. Was it necessary for Alex? Yes.

"I love you too" he cut me off, hanging up.

I got there half an hour later and I spotted her packing up her camera and talking to a couple. I got out of the car but stayed there, resting my elbow on the stop of the car, waiting for her.
