Jasmine POV.

School came and went like most of my life. Me, Emma, and Jonah are all headed to our part-time job. We all worked at a small bakery in town. Our boss was an elderly man named Grandpa Glen but we call him Gramps. He was the sweetest old man who treated us like family.

" I hope we have leftover donuts today" Jonah comments from the back seat.

"Are you sure you need any more of anything? I'm sure you were getting stuffed and filled last night " Emma says bursting out laughing.

" Emma," I say trying to hold my giggles in.

" Both of you are some bitches and at least I'm likable enough to get laid," he says hitting her shoulder.

At his comment, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Emma looked at me before rolling her eyes.

" Not the horny virgin laughing," He says making me stop laughing.

" Hey that felt personal, " I said still chuckling.

" It was " he scoffs before scrolling on his phone. Did he just oh hell no? I reached back and took his phone out of his hand. 

" Jasmine what are you wouldn't dare " he screams as I hold his phone out the window.

" Are you nuts for the show? Do you think I'm playing with you " I say eyeing him.

" Fine, I'm sorry. Can you please give it back ?" He pleads.

" Next time watch your mouth, " I say tossing his phone at him. He looked at me stunned before looking hurt.

I glanced at Emma to see her smiling at me.

I rolled my eyes at her in annoyance. Sometimes they really can get on my nerves I swear. 

We had finally made it to work and were currently walking in. 

" Gramps," I say pushing open the door.

" Jazzy," he says turning around.

I pushed past them and crushed Gramps into a hug. He was like family to me. Me and my dad would come to the bakery twice a week and pig out on sweets.

That was until my mom made it one day instead of two. Just the thought of my father made me sad. It's been hard but Gramps has been there for us the entire time.

" At least we know who his favorite is, " Emma said chuckling.

" Of course " I grin.

" Enough of that I love you all," he says smiling.

They both instantly hugged him looking emotional. Such drama queens I thought.

After our greetings, we quickly got to work. Emma was terrible at baking so she stayed at the front desk while I helped Gramps bake. It was fairly easy seeing that Gramps already made the dough for everything. I didn't mind it because my favorite thing to decorate.

" I heard from your mother your uncle is coming into town tomorrow," he said randomly.

" Yeah, that's what he said " I answer shortly.

I don't want to think about that and him right now.

" Good good, tell him don't forget to stop by the bakery sometime "he adds.

" Alright, I'll let him know, " I say forcing a smile.

He just gave me a nod before walking away with a tray of cookie dough.

I was doing so good with not thinking about him and now I'm thinking about him.

" Jazzy there's someone here to see you," said Emma popping her head in.
