Jasmine POV
"What?" I looked at him.
"Dont be mad." Paul said. "I did used to date Jennifer. Back in high school. She was my sweetheart but we broke up when began I started my acting career. And her real name isn't Jennifer Rueza it's Tamara Mello, she changed her name though. Anyway, we did a movie together. She's all that. And she slept with the director."
"Are you serious?"
I jumped up and ran to him to hug him. It makes sense now. She's just trying to get him back. The relief that overcame me made me cry. I was so happy. Oh, God.
"Jasmine, you are supposed to be mad at me." Paul told me.
"Well, I'm not. Just shut up and let me breathe relief." I said.
Paul nodded and kissed my cheek. I squeeze him and buried my face in his chest.
"You do realize that it's Christmas and a bunch of unwrapped presents are downstairs for us."
I shrugged. "I want to watch Netflix and chill with you." I winked.
"Your parents are downstairs." He whispered.
"So." I kissed him.
"That's weird." Paul pulled away.
I sighed. "Well, can I have some four play?" I asked.
He debated. "Fine. Only for a minute."

Around dinner, I was happier than everyone. One, because Paul in fact did give in and bang me. Two, he's not a cheater. And three, he finally told me the truth.
"Jasmine, you seem mighty happy." Daddy said.
I nodded and noticed Zayne staring adoringly (is that even a word) at Melanie. Melanie looked back and smiled. They are so cute. If only Paul looked at me the way Zayne looks at Melanie life would so much better.
I reached for Paul hand and he kissed mine.
"You know I love you." He whispered in my ear.
"Mmhmm." I nodded.
"So, uhm, Jasmine and Paul." Mommy said getting up.
"Talk to me." I said.
"We have something for you." Mommy said and walked out the kitchen.
She came back with a big wrapped rectangle. I looked at Paul and he shrugged.
I unwrapped the rectangle and gasped. A painting of me and Paul on our wedding day. It was our first marriage kiss. It was so cute how we held each other. It made me forget about our problems. We looked very happy. And we were at the time.
"Thank you so much. I...this..." I began to cry. Ugh, why can't we still be that happy?
"It's beautiful." Paul said rubbing my back. "We appreciate it."
I held up one finger and went to the bathroom. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Zayne came in.
"Whats wrong?" She asked.
"Seeing that picture...it made me miss our happiness." I sobbed.
"What? I thought you two were happy. Of course you had your issues but you guys look happy." Zayne said.
"That's a show. All a show." I said.
Paul came in and Zayne looked between us before leaving quietly. Paul closed the door and leaned against the bathroom counter.
"What's going on?" Paul asked looking slightly annoyed.
I told him why I'm so emotional. Paul ran a hand down his face. Why is he so annoyed?
"Bubba, are you serious?" Paul asked me.
"Yes. What is wrong with us."
Paul wet a cloth and wiped my face. "Stop crying. We're fine. Every marriage has its problem. You know what I notice?"
I shook my head.
"You have been very emotional lately." Paul told me.
"I don't know what's wrong with me." I shrugged.
"Well, I'm very hungry so can we go out there and eat?" Paul smiled.
I nodded. Paul kissed my cheek and ran a hand through my hair.
