It had been a week since the kiss and Ashton had continued to treat me like a princess.
"Jasmine?" He would ask when I would get home from work. "How was your day?"
"It was good,don't worry Ash." I would say.
Ash has become very focused with his music Every time I came over to hang out with him and Destiny, he would be in his room, playing his guitar, and singing softly. I've only caught a few words, 'my world' and something along the lines of 'changed my life'.
Ash's and Destiny's birthday is in a month and I feel like I really owe them. They helped me really get back on my feet these past couple months. I have been pondering what I should do. Finally it came to me while I was at work one day.
Cher Lloyd had stopped by to work on a new single and I was just heading back to my office when I overheard Tommy and Jessi talking.
"...just saying this could be an amazing gift for the employees" Jessi was saying. I don't usually snoop but this sounded interesting.
"You know I love the employees," Tommy said,sighing. "But I don't know if we had the money for it."
"Please Tommy." I could tell he was pleading now.
Tommy sighed. " Ok, fine. I'll probably get my ass kicked for it though."
About an hour later, me and Jackie were filing paperwork, I have begun to trust her a little maybe it's because I'm in a relationship now. Tommy came over the loudspeaker.
"Attention all interns!" He said cheerfully " I have some great news for you! The company is allowing us 4 tickets to Disneyland with plane tickets and hotel rooms paid for!"
My heart leapt in complete joy. That's it! I would take them to Disneyland! If Jack wanted to come, he and Ashton could take one room and me and Destiny could take another.
***********
I checked my mailbox as I went to leave Sony. There were the four tickets, I had already asked Tommy if he could buy my plane tickets for next moth because of the birthday thing.
I put everything in my bag and walked out to my car. I did notice something strange though. Jackie was talking to a guy in a hoodie just up the block. That wasn't the strange part though, the guy was wearing sunglasses and it was 7:50!
When she walked over to her car, which was parked next to mine, I decided to test my trust with her.
"Who was that?" I asked her. She gave me a funny look.
"What are you talking about?" She asked giving me a blank look.
"That guy in the hoodie down by Ms. Shannon's Wedding Emporium?" I said raising an eyebrow. Was she really gonna try to act like I was born yesterday and try to pull a fast one?
"Oh, he's my brother." She said with a smile before hoping into her car.
I climbed into my car and just sat there a minute. She had just said that was her brother. I began to rack my memory. She had moved when we were both in the 7th grade and I remember she did have a older brother. Well at least she HAD had a brother. He had died a year before she moved.
Why did she just lie to me?
****************
"Jasmine..." Destiny called from the kitchen. Ashton and I were on a stay in date, just watching movies and eating popcorn. "It's from the police department!"
I froze. Holy shit what is Scott want?!? Didn't he already torture me enough?
I took the phone from her hand and hit the speaker button as Ashton hit the pause button on the movie.
"This is Jasmine." I said calmly
"Ms. Palmieri," a man spoke "one of our inmates would like to talk to you face to face please. Can you please come down to the jail, or are you uncomfortable with this?"
I swallowed but shook my head. "It's fine, I'll come by tomorrow with my boyfriend." God I loved that word.
"Ok, have a goodnight Ms. Palmieri." The man said before hanging up.
We sat in complete silence for a good ten minutes. The phone never leaving my hand, Destiny kept staring at the phone in disbelief, nobody bothering to unpaid the movie, Ashton watching my expression.
Finally Ashton broke the silence, asking the question we were all wondering "What the hell does he want to talk to you about?"
