Jasmine

"I was thinking we could go Kenya, then Mexico, then Italy, then Greece." Xander suggested as we walked home.

"All at once?"

"I guess. Like, we stay in Kenya for a couple of weeks and then Mexico, and then Italy, and then Greece. Just to meet our parents."

"So we wouldn't come back to England for two months?"

"Yeah. Unless you want to then we can do whatever you feel like, my angel." He stroked my hair softly before putting his arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer. 

"I'm down. Are you sure your parents will like me?"

"I pinky-promise you that they'll love you." he held out his pinky, making me smile as I linked mine with his. "I'll never get over how tiny your hands are." he leaned down and kissed my knuckles, making me fuzzy inside.

"Okay...I have normal, average proportions. You guys, on the other hand, don't. Who told you to be over 6'3? No one. It's not normal. You and Leo can't even find shoes in the store. So are my hands tiny or your hands big?"

He chuckled. "You have a point gorgeous." he kissed the top of my head.

"Are you guys coming tomorrow?"

"Where?"

"The HareKrsna temple. It's a big Hindu holiday tomorrow. Janmashtami."

"I thought Diwali was the big Hindu holiday."

I smiled. "No...It is a big holiday. Janmashtami celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna."

"The blue guy?"

I chuckled softly "Yes."

"I'll come."

"Really?" I looked up at him with a smile. 

"Yeah why not? I'll bring the others there too."

"That's amazing. You can come in the afternoon but don't come too late otherwise it'll be very crowded."

"What time are you going?"

"I'm leaving around seven because I need to get Krishna so we can get there by eight. We're volunteering at the entrance so let me know when you're coming and I'll take a break to show you guys around."

"Will there be food there?"

"Loads of food but it's all vegetarian...obviously."

"That's okay."

"Did you know Michael's hair caught on fire on the exact median day of his life. He had a literal mid-life crisis."

He chuckled. "I did not know that."

"It's raining." I stated the obvious when it started drizzling as we were to my house.

Xander immediately took off his hoodie and put it over my head. 

"I don't want it." I protested, pushing his hands away.

He made us stop and grabbed both my wrists. "Stop whining and put it on. I don't want you getting sick." he said in tone that didn't allow objections whilst he put my arms through the sleeves.

"I'm not gonna get sick." I mumbled as I continued walking.

"I don't care. You're wearing it." he ordered, putting my hood up. I slowed down as the rain got heavier. "Jasmine." Xander sighed, not looking back. 

I stopped completely and stood there in the rain. He immediately noticed, stopped and turned around. He chuckled and walked towards me, looking so yummy as the rain poured down his face. "You look so cute when you're mad."
