≠Dmarco's POV≠

Jasmine came back into the office with a cloth and a new cup of coffee for my mother.

She placed the cup on my table and started with picking up the pieces of glass and I bent down to help her which caused her to look at me surprised.

I gave her a small smile but my mother interrupted the moment I thought we had.

"Dmarco get up from there. Let her do it." My mom said getting on my last nerves and I shot her a glare basically telling her she better stop.

She let out a loud huff and whispered something under her breath.

"Ow!" I heard Jasmine beside me and I immediately looked down at her and saw she cut herself with one of the peaces of glass and I yanked her hand away and saw the cut was pretty deep.

"Are you alright?" I asked concerned looking down at her waiting for her eyes to meet mine "Yeah yeah it's not that bad but I might need a bandage..." She started and I immediately walked to the door not seeing Riley anywhere, so I had to think for a minute who else can I call who's name I actually know...

Ah!

"Cody!" I called to the long but thin guy with glasses and he looked so surprised that I called him for the first time ever.

He just started at me "Hello? Isn't your name Cody?" I asked already irritated with him "Uh y-yes sir my name is Cody." He said with confidence and I just gave me a weird look "Okay well get me a first aid kit and be fast." I told him about to turn around and go back to Jasmine when I saw he's still just standing there

"Are you deaf?!" I bursted and he came back from whatever zoned out place he just went to and smiled suddenly running straight toward the elevator so I assumed he went to get the kit.

Creep.

I turned back around and saw Jasmine sitting on the white leather couch holding her hand in the sky so that the blood doesn't drip anywhere.

My mom let out a loud sigh and got up giving Jasmine a look I can't really describe taking her handbag in her hand she gave Jasmine one last look saying "Don't think I don't know what you just did." And walked towards me "Mom I really think it's better you leave now." I told her seeing a slightly surprised look on her face after my words.

"Alright Dmarco it's all fine but watch out for that girl." She said and walked out of my office with the stain still on her skirt.

"Why does your mother hate me so much Mr Hunter?" I heard Jasmine ask and I quickly went to sit down with her on the couch "Come on.." I said lightly pulling her up by her other hand "What now?" She asked "We need to get your hand cleaned" I said directing her towards the bathroom in my office.

She lightly frowned as I put her hand underneath the cold water to wash off most of the blood

"It burns..." She said causing me to chuckle a bit "It's alright it will be over soon" and at that she looked up at me and our eyes met and I saw something different in her eyes that I haven't seen since she came here.

What happened yesterday night is still stuck inside my head damn I couldn't even sleep after that happened.

After Jasmine went home last night I couldn't help but think of how well her lips moved with mine and the sudden warmness I felt creeping up towards my cheeks as I tried to ignore the mixed up emotions I felt.

Having her back in my life is a bit weird for me because neither of us are the same teenage kids we were but I'm not sure what it is but there is something there and I feel it each time I'm around her each time I look into her eyes or when she smiles I have this feeling it's as if my heart is having a party inside my chest.

I saw as a small smile creeped it's way up to her lips and I couldn't help but share at her pure beauty.

"I got it!" I heard a voice looking up I saw Cody holding the first aid kit and I feel like throwing him off of this building, he is busy ruining a beautiful moment we just had and I gave him a cold look as I took the kit from him and his smile fell from his face.

"That will be all thank you." I told him staring straight into his dark brown eyes and he looked slightly taken aback "Are you sure sir?" He asked ...

Can't he catch onto my drift?
"Cody get out." I told him slowly and he nodded walking away and I turned back to look back at Jasmine and saw she was now sitting on the closed toilet looking up at me.

"Why are you so rude to people all the time?" She asked confused and I just shrugged my shoulders "Am I rude to you?" I asked causing her to let out a dry laugh Asif asking me if I'm being serious.

"Sometimes." Is all she said looking away "Yeah but you deserve it." I told her being absolutely serious because it is the truth she likes pushing my buttons all the time.

"See your rude once again!" She said laughing and the sound of her laugh is like music to my ears "If you say so... Now give me ur hand."

I took a bit of this other disinfectant spray and sprayed a bit into the cut causing her to pull away slightly.

We were quiet for a bit sitting in a comfortable silence as she allowed me to put the bandage around her hand.

"Listen Jasmine, I really am sorry for my mother's behavior earlier I really am." I told her and she just looked away and said "it's probably fine but I promise I didn't do it on purpose." "I know you didn't." I said to her.

"You're all fixed up." I told her after I finished with her hand "-it might swell up a bit but it will get better just be careful." I told her putting away all the other stuff getting up

She got up as well and I walked back into my office putting the kit on one of the counters "I'll go get my phone and read you your schedule for today." She said and with that she left my office.

Dammit this girl.

•Jasmine's POV•

I walked out of Dmarco's office straight into mine slightly struggling to pick up my phone with the bandage on.

Dmarco was actually of great help today but that won't change anything...
Or at least I hope so.

The moment we shared in his bathroom really got to me and for a split second I saw the exact same Dmarco Hunter I fell for back then.
The sweet caring Dmarco and it woke something in me and I'm not quite sure what that is but it really is causing me to view the different side of him
