Paradigm Shift [On-going]

For old times sake

Jasmine stretched out on one of the poolside recliners. Sighing as her head throbbed.

"So what did you want to talk to me about, without Roman and Seth hearing" she asked

"When I told you that found it the hardest to be around you I didn't explain why and if we are ever going to move on from all of this I feel like you should know everything" Dean stated

"Ok" Jasmine replied

"So before I even met you I smelt you a few times. Your scent. It affected me more than any other persons scent had done" Dean revealed "I mean it literally immobilised me. So when I met you i was genuinely terrified of attacking you. So I dealt with it by avoided you, but the more I avoided you the more envious I was of Roman and Seth. They were able to be close to you without being affected by your scent and I was jealous of the relationship they were forming with you"

"So what changed?" Jasmine asked "because i noticed you suddenly began to spend time with me"

"Do you remember when you fell and cut your head open at the performance centre?"

Jasmine nodded

"The towel Seth gave you to catch the blood...he brought it back to me and...well I...have you ever heard of nose blindness?"

"Yeah" Jasmine replied "When your nose gets desensitized to a particular smell"

"That's how I got over your scent" Dean continued "By using the towel"

"Wait a second" Jasmine said "Are you saying that you and Seth planned the accident-"

"No. Seth had a vision of you having an accident but he didn't know where or when it would happen" Dean corrected

"It was Frederick's idea. The nose blindness thing" Dean explained "He knew how I felt about you and just wanted to help m-"

"Wait" Jasmine interrupted "what do you mean 'the way I felt about you?'

Dean cursed himself "I care about you. A lot. I haven't felt like this about anyone since I became a vampire. I didn't even think i was capable of feeling anymore"

Jasmine smiled "I thought about you a lot when I was taken hostage. It wasn't until I was away from you that I realised just how much I really liked you"

"Seriously?" Dean asked

"Yes" Jasmine confirmed "I was in denial at first because of everything that had happened with Damien but even now, those feelings are still there"

Dean could still feel pain coming from Jasmine and he couldn't ignore it anymore "Are you in pain?"

"I've been getting migraines" Jasmine complained as she moved her head to rest against the head rest

"Do you want me to get Roman?" Dean asked

Jasmine nodded and Dean left. Roman came in just seconds later, quickly followed by Seth who was wearing swin shorts and made a beeline for the deep end of the pool.

"Where are you hurting baby girl?" Roman asked as he sat beside Jasmine on her recliner

"My head on the left side just above my eye" Jasmine replied

Roman placed his hand over the area that was bothering her and Jasmine shut her eyes as she felt his hand throb. "I wasn't sure if migraines were something you could heal"

"According to Dr. Nyle the only thing i can't heal is broken bones" Roman explained

"Is there is anything you miss about being mortal?" Jasmine asked
