•Jasmine's POV•

I got up this morning with a huge headache that just wouldn't die.

I drank at least two pain killers but still nothing.

Perhaps I should drink just one more?
No I can't I'm not a druggie!

Watch me overdose and I haven't even eaten yet.

Me silently crying.

I then took a quick shower so that I can go to the store and come back...

I got dressed in a pair of dark blue baggie jeans and a black tank top with my black sneakers.

Yes you heard right!
Sneakers!
Like at last.
Those damn heals had my feet sore for days.

I put my hair up in a high pony letting some pair fall out in front and in the back but I still looked presentable.

Applying a bit of mascara and lipgloss I'm ready to go.

I headed out to the elevator and patiently waited for it to reach the lobby.

Once I got out I walked out and noticed a small girl crying and her mom trying to get her to stop and that only reminded me of my mom.

I got out of the building and looked up at the sky knowing she's watching over me from above.

Once I got inside a cab he took me to the nearest super market and I got out taking a cart heading into the store grabbing a lot of random drinks and snacks.

As I walked down in the sweets aisle, I bend down to read some of the sweets names and suddenly I felt a sudden heavy wave on my back which almost caused me to fall but I didn't and I looked around to find it was a person who just jumped on top of me but I couldn't see their face just yet only their shoes seeing that I'm still bend down "What the fuck is the matter with you?!" I asked as I came up and the person began laughing and I dared myself to look at their stupid face.

Till I saw who it was.

"Surprise!" She boomed and it caused me to smile so wide I began to feel tears in my eyes "What are you doing here?!" I asked as I jumped into her arms and we gave one long hug.

"I thought I'd come surprise you! Why are you crying should I leave?" She asked acting offended as if she was about to turn around "No! Come back!" I said back to her pulling her back by her wrist "But for real what are you doing here" I asked again and she started taking packets of sweets throwing it into my cart "I actually went to your apartment but saw u getting into a cab and I felt a sudden James bond inside me and decided I'd follow you and here we are!" She said and I couldn't help but smile at her craziness.

Last time I saw Mandy was two months before I came to work for Dmarco because she went on a trip with her family to Italy.

"So then you decided to jump on me!?" I asked her and she shrugged smiling at me "Well obviously!"

We talked for a bit while walking around in the store "I want that can I take it?" She asked giving me puppy eyes pointing towards a big chocolate cake "Mandy you have been putting things inside my cart now you want a huge chocolate cake? Plus it says Happy birthday  so no." I told her and I saw her act all sad and I only snorted "Please? Plus my birthday is soon anyway..." She said causing me to laugh at her.

"Your birthday is in October it's March now." I said starting to push the cart Infront of me "Jasmine!" She said looking at me as if she's a kid in a store and I told her she cant have a toy .

I'm not falling for it.

Yep not happening.

"Okay bring it!" I said giving up and she jumped in happiness running towards the cake as if it's her future husband about to be snatched away forever "Your the best!" She said hugging me from behind.

Now here we are back in my apartment and I immediately fell over the couch because damn those bags was so heavy "Jasmine! Oh my goodness is this really where you stay?" Mandy beemed from my kitchen running upstairs "Yes I told you that it's unbelievable." I said with my face inside the pillow "So Dmarco you ex boyfriend is paying for all of this?" She asked causing me to sit up straight kicking off my shoes "No my boss is paying for this." I said letting out a little sigh.

"You know Jasmine I did some research about him after our call the other night and dammit he is sitting on a fucking fortune or more like 7 fortunes!" She said plopping down on the couch with me as she continued "-and he seems pretty famous around the ladies as well..." She said eyeing me but I only shrugged saying "Yeah so? He is after all just my boss so why should we even care?"

I got up walking to the kitchen in only my socks to start unpacking.

"Let me help you with that..." Mandy said grabbing some of the bags almost letting one of them fall on her way here causing me to laugh at her.

"Jasmine you do realize that there is hardly any actual food inside these bags it's just snacks one could swear that you left our gym days behind..." After she said that she gave me a look from head to toe then stopping at my ass once again...

"What?" I asked as she eyed me "Your butt is bigger Jasmine!" And the both of us started laughing as she ran around the counter and hugged me "Do not stress I'm here for you we will get through this!" She said and I didn't understand what she means by that so I just hugged her back.

"You know what I have an idea!" She said and pulled away from me "Let's go out tonight..." And that caused me to let out a long sigh "No Mandy I'm tired please let me rest." I told her and she put up a sad expression...

How does she even do that?

"Plus we got a lot of catching up to do..." I said grabbing the orange juice placing it inside the fridge "We can do that tomorrow please it will be fun!" She said making me think about it for a moment there probably isn't any harm to it is there?

"But I don't have anything to wear." I told her opening one of the bags of chips starting to eat "Jasmine I have tons of cocktail dresses that were made is Italy and they are gorgeous you can pick any one of them!"

"Really?!" I said as I felt my lips twitch up into a smile.

"Yes! Now let's get ready!" She said running upstairs but came back down just to grab the chips from me and then she left...

This is going to be one long night...
