My Father's Boss

Chapter 14 Mo Grá

As soon as Jasmine was out of the shower, she was in the kitchen, helping her dad prepair the ocean of food he had bought for only 6 people

It was ridiculous

She was sure that they would all have enough to take home and still have left overs for 3 days

After 4 hours of chopping, pealing, cutting, and washing, they were able to start actually cooking

At exactly 1:30, there was a knock on the front door. Renoldo turned down the music that they were listening to and whipped his hands on the black kitchen towl, next to him

"I'll get it!" Jasmine shouted, as Renoldo returned to the task at hand: shaping the beef patties for the burgers that were planning to grill

Jasmine whipped off her hands and ran off to the door, expecting to find her tall blue eyed, brown haired friend

As she opened the door, she felt two strong arms wrap around her upper body, she she was lifted off the ground

"Hey Green Bean!" He said, setting her down on her feet

He pulled away from her and smiled brightly at her

"Can you please stop calling me that?" Jasmine spoke, remembering the mortifying moment that her father shared with everyone

Damn her love for green beans!

"Why? I love that nickname" he pouted jokingly, smiling down at the young woman who knew there was going to be no use for her efforts

"Hunter" She spoke firmly, having to try her luck

"Jasmine" he mimicked her, mirroring her facial features, the best he could

Jasmine groaned and kicked the door shut, letting him pass her. Hunter chuckled and leaned down to kiss her cheeks softly and then walked around her

Even from around the corner, Jasmine could hear the delight in her father's voice, as he greeted her old friend

She took a deep breath and walked back into the kitchen. Two hours later, everything was prepared and ready to be grilled. In a matter of hours, Hunter, Jasmine, and Renaldo had caught up with each other. They managed to pick up where they had left off

As Jasmine mixed up the fruit salad that she was famous for, the door bell rang

"I'll get it!" Shouted Hunter, as he whipped his hand on a near by kitchen towel

He turned around, fixing his shirt. He had turned around and looked back at Jasmine, catching her as she staired at him. His pearly white smirk, made her blush slightly

"Oh shut up!" Jasmine called out, turning her attention back to her salad

Even from where she stood, she could hear the deep rumble of his laughter

"Jasmine?" Her dad whispered, softly poking her side with the end of the spoon he held in his hand

"Hmmm" she responded, turning to look at him with a smile, engraved into her face. A smile that never faltered

He smirked and wiggled his eyebrows, nodding over to Hunter, who was opening the door

"What?" Jasmine asked, confused

Renoldo's eyes widened and then pointed at Hunter

'He likes you' he mouthed, smiling brightly

Jasmine frowned his eyebrows in confusion, not understanding what he was getting at

Renaldo raised his eyebrow and then rolled his eyes, shaking his head at his daughters obliviousness

For the longest moment, Jasmine looked at her father, expecting him to laugh and admite that he was just joking around.  He knew...at least that was what he told her

Hunter came back with the pretty woman from last night and a young boy by her side

He didn't look older than 5 or 6. He was cute and resembled his mother greatly. He hid behind his mother's long pink skirt, smiling shyly up at Jasmine

Jasmine looked down and wiggles her fingers at him, causing him to giggle and hide his face with his mother's gorgeous skirt. Jasmine looked away, smiling

The only person that they were waiting for now was Aspin.

"Why don't we all go out in the back yard. Aspin should be here soon." Renoldo suggested, after he had greeted his company

They all agreed and grabbed the uncooked food, making their way out back, where Hunter and Renoldo had set up 3 tables

As Jasmine took a step outside, she heard the door bell go off

Renoldo looked up, silently asking if Jasmine could get it.

"Coming" she shouted, turning around

She turned to her dad and Hunter

"It's probably Aspin. I'll be right back" she smiled and walked back into her warm home

Again, there was another ring

"Jeez...I'm coming!" She shouted, picking up her pace a little

She made it to the door and pulled it open.

"God Aspin, it was unlocked. You should have just come i-" she was speaking before she opened the door

Jasmine expected to find her tiny blonde friend, standing in front of her with a smart remark. Instead, she was met with a 6'2, blue eyed, dark haired, Greek god, that had lied to her

"Hello, mo grá"

The smile that she received, was the type of smile that caused girls to go crazy in love, but Jasmine knew better...atleast she thought she did

"Killian..."
