Our Girl

Bonus XXI

After their wedding

Michael

"Hello sweetheart" I greeted when she walked into our office at the club, not with her usual smile.

"Hi" she mumbled. She buried her face in the crook of my neck as she relaxed her body, causing me to wrap an arm around her so she doesn't collapse.

"How was work?" I asked, continuing to do mine.

"Good."

"What happened beautiful?"

"No-"

"Tell him the truth." Alex interrupted, pouring himself a drink.

"Nearly got fired again" she mumbled.

"What happened now?" I rubbed her back.

"The truth Jas" Alex added, sitting on the sofa.

"Kicked someone" she mumbled.

"What?!" I mouthed to Alex. I pushed my chair back and grabbed her shoulders and pushed her up so she was standing but she hung her head. "Look at me" I ordered. She shook her head. "I said look at me" I repeated in a firmer voice. She lifted her head with teary eyes.

"I didn't want to but he asked for it. I'm sorry"

"What did he do? What's his name?"

"A lady was telling me about how painful her cramps are and he called her weak so I kicked him in the dick and he threatened to sue but my manager talked him out of it and let me off with another warning and suspension without pay. She said if I get one more, I'm fired." She explained.

She has valid reasons every time but she needs to stop-

That's hypocritical Michael.

"Who was this guy?"

She shrugged "Roger something"

"Russell!" I shouted for my bodyguard outside the door. He came in almost immediately.

"Hello Russell" Jas looked back with a smile. He nodded his head in response.

"Russell find out everything about a guy called Roger from her work" I asked. She slapped me on the thigh "Please." I added, making her smile and rest her head on my shoulder again as Russell nodded his head and left.

"Sweetheart, try and not get yourself fired. If someone says something, come straight to us."

"But I can do it myself."

"I know you can beautiful but you're the one with a job on the line"

"So are you"

"No I'm not? I can't get fired" I retorted making her sigh.

"Where's Leo?"

"Bringing dinner"

"Wh-"

"We need to get some work done" I answered her question before she asked it. I her closer by the waist and placed a gentle kiss on her lips before she pulled away and wiped her chin on my shoulder.

"Your beard hurts"
I raised an eyebrow and leaned in closer before rubbing my chin in her neck, making her squirm and laugh.
"Can I shave it?"

"No." I pulled her closer and sat her down on my thigh.

"Why not?"

I looked at Alex who was on his laptop. He had a scar on his cheek from the last time Jasmine shaved his beard for him.
