Best Thing I Got 《 Janthony 》*ON HOLD*

Chapter 5

Jasmine groaned, her alarm was going off like crazy, and she turned it off with a scowl. She sat up, looking out her window to see that it's still dark out, for it was still 4:30 am. She had set an alarm for this time to finish packing, and hopefully grab a few snacks from the convenience store. They were going to start their drive at 6:30, which she sarcastically thanked Anthony for telling her so soon. It was going to take them about a day or two to get there, but she found road trips to be more fun than flights. She fixed her bed, stretching up, and went to her kitchen to grab a breakfast bar she had in the fridge. She scrolled down on her phone for a while, whilst finishing her breakfast bar. It didn't take her too long to finish, and she started finish packing.

Her stuff all fitted neatly in a suitcase, and she just brought one carry on which had a few of her essentials, like laptop, girl stuff, a few make up. She hopped in for a quick hot shower, afterwards brushing her teeth and then getting dressed. She wore a white cami in a red plaid shirt, black pants and a pair of white converse. She had her hair up in a ponytail and had light make up on.

As she finished up her look, Anthony began knocking at her door, suitcase in hand.

Jasmine opened the door, and Anthony glanced at what she was wearing "Hey, isn't that mine?"

Jasmine chuckled in response "Yeah, you left it here once, figured since we're dating I can slip on some your clothes."

Anthony felt his cheeks heat up a bit "That's a gift I got from my mom when I got in to Hamilton." He chuckled nervously

"Makes us dating more convincing then." She winked "Shall we?" Jasmine asked pulling up her suit case

"Ladies first." Anthony stood aside, offering to pull her suitcase, as Jasmine locked up her apartment "Let's drop by at a convenience store, I need to buy a few... stuff."

"No problem, I need to buy a few lady stuff for emergencies anyway." She nodded, as they made their way to the elevator

Reaching the parking lot, Anthony popped up the trunk, placing in the two suitcases. Jasmine sat by the passenger seat, shortly joined by Anthony who sat at the driver seat. They drove to a nearby convenience store, grabbed a few necessities, and continued on with their drive. It was still pretty dark out, for it was still around 5 am, neither of them realized how early they were. But, they didn't mind. Miami is pretty far. Really far from New York. So, the earlier they leave the better, even though they know they won't get there in less than a day. It will probably take them about 2 days to get there by car, but since Anthony told Jasmine so late they didn't had time to book tickets.

They reached the exit of New York, pretty quick since not much cars are out this early on a Saturday, Anthony had his focus on driving whilst Jasmine stared out the empty streets.

Anthony glanced at her for a second though, and tried to break the silence "You okay Jazzy?"

"Yeah." She yawned, looking at Anthony, whose eyes returned back on the road "So, how do you think we can pull this off?"

"I don't know, my Ma will for sure ask a lot of questions, don't worry about Steph and Mario though." He replied

"We should establish a few answers then, like, where was our first date?" She suggested

"Ice cream parlor close to Richard Rogers, where you always order vanilla ice cream with chopped nuts and chocolates syrup on top." He chuckled confidently with his answer, surprising Jazzy

"Wow, good call." She giggled

"How about, how I asked you out?" He asked

"Hm." She thought for a second "For how long does your mom think we're dating?"

"About a year." Anthony uttered

"What if it was when I took you to your first world series at Citi Field Met Stadium for your birthday?" She said ~Okay I know they were like with Jess Seinfeld that time~

"Not very romantic of me, but not too bad Jones." He smirked, glancing at her for a sec "That's pretty much all what my mom should ask, of course we met because of Hamilton, and we know each other pretty well for personal questions."

"Uhm, since when were you the romantic type?" Jasmine laughed

"Hey, I can be romantic, you just haven't seen that side of me yet." He protested "Let's just say that when the team won and everyone was cheering I asked you to be my girlfriend."

"Wow, romantic." She said sarcastically "If that was true, I would question why I said yes." She joked

Anthony didn't respond, his face serious. Thoughts ran through his mind. Well in reality I wouldn't ask you out that way, he thought to himself. It's been about a year since they met, and as time passed, his feelings for Jasmine grew. But he could never get the courage to ask her out, some of their fellow cast members already notice how he felt, and some say Jasmine is still oblivious to the fact.

"Ant." Jasmine snapped fingers in front of him, snapping him out from his thoughts "Are you okay? You zoned out on me there."

"Nothing, still a little tired I guess." He shook his head "You can take a nap for a while, I'll wake you up when we reach some city."

Jasmine nodded. She sat back on the seat, staring out the dark streets. Now, she was in deep thought. She knows he likes her, as if their nosy fellow cast members didn't tell her, especially Daveed and Pippa. And she liked him too, no doubt. But, being the actress she is, she acts oblivious. Pippa and Renee were the only ones she told of her feelings, those two have tried convincing on telling him but she never did. She feels if they date and when things get serious, she rid Anthony of his freedom, he was 2 years younger than her after all. She can wait for it, if they really are meant to be.

Jasmine fell asleep. Anthony kept on fixing her position so she wouldn't wake up with a sore neck or something. It was already 8 am. At this point they were approaching near Washington. Which is considered pretty fast.

His stomach growled. He didn't really eat breakfast, for he knew he would take longer to get ready if he did.

He pulled up at a gas station, Jasmine still sound asleep. He smiled, before heading out to gas up his car, afterwards ordering take out from the diner. He sat at the driver seat, placing some of the nuggets and coffee aside for him to snack on in the way, and set aside the food he ordered for Jazzy. Who was still asleep.

He smiled glancing at her "Sleep well, princess." He pulled on his seatbelt and drove back in the road to Miami.
