Yasmin thought her one night stand with a handsome stranger in Miami, was just that. Never expecting to see him again, her world is turned upside down when she crosses paths with him again, leading them both on a journey of self reflection, healing...
"Maybe I shouldn't go," I said to my friend Alisa on Facetime. Alisa looks at me with a stale face before smacking her lips.

"Girl do you know how much you have talked about this man ever since that night in Miami? Your ass disappeared for a whole night, no calls or texts or anything. We thought someone kidnapped your ass! You were on cloud nine the next day, I'll never forget that look on your face. You talked about that man all the time, and now that you met him in Houston, you talk about him even more. So why are you second guessing this?," Alisa asked.
"Because....you know I don't want to get attached with anyone."
"What's so wrong with that though Yasmin? You deserve someone special and from what I know so far about Zayn, he seems very nice and sweet towards you. It's not like you have to rush into anything, but for you to write him off when you talk and think about him so much, that isn't right."
"What if he's just like.....Nathan?," I said. Hearing that name made me cringe.
"Why even bring him up? I bet you Zayn will never be like that man. He will never abuse you or fucking....do that bullshit he did with Tia." I cringed even harder at her name. Fuck that bitch.
"I'm just so scared and nervous. I don't want to go."
"Yes you do. So get dressed and go." I groan as I clench my towel around me.
"Show me what you plan to wear," Alisa said. I walk to the closet and show her my outfit.
"Is it ok?," I asked.
"I think that's perfect. He will love it."
"Ok."
"Baby just go with an open mind please. I think you will have a great time with him. I'm going to let you get ready. If he doesn't have you bent over all night, call me with the details," Alisa said while winking.
"Bye," I said while laughing. I hang up the phone and sigh heavily as I set down my phone. I'm supposed to meet Zayn in an hour, I need to hurry up.
I look over my appearance in the mirror. Fuck I am so nervous now! I gather my things and I quickly head out. I pull up to the first destination with 5 minutes to spare. Thank goodness I am not late. I wonder where we are though? It looks like a restaurant. I walk towards the entrance, and I see Zayn inside sitting at a bench. I take a deep breath, before opening the door. Zayn looks at me and smiles widely.
"Hi," I said shyly.
"Hey Jasmin....you look amazing. These are for you," Zayn said while handing me a dozen of white and red roses. I accept the roses as I smile widely. This is so thoughtful to me.
"Thank you so much, they are beautiful," I said.
"You look so beautiful Yasmin," Zayn complimented.
