I couldn't process what had just happened. Did that just really happen to me? What did I do? I put my hand to my cheek, which still stung a bit. I was just a few minutes away from home but I couldn't go home right now. I needed to clear my mind but where? What I need is food right now. I stopped at a gas station and went in to buy some snacks and a drink.

As I was going back to my car, a nice car stopped right next to me. Whoever it was I didn't pay attention and kept on walking. I had my keys ready in my hand to open the door and go.

"Jasmine I wasn't done talking to you back there." I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard him. I didn't look back and opened my car door and got in. Did he follow me?

I didn't want to look up and out my window. I was scared because he could follow me home. Thank God I didn't go directly home.
My body jumped when there was a knock on my window.

"Come on baby, open up." I looked up and he looked sad.

"What do you want?" My hands were shaking from fear. I grabbed my phone and I was ready to call the police just in case.

"We need to talk babe. I want to apologize for what I did. I truly am sorry. I never meant for any of that to happen, I don't know what came over me. Please Jasmine forgive me. I need you, I really do." He eyes started to water and soon enough tears were streaming down his beautiful face.

I sighed and got out. He soon wrapped his arms around me and hugged me, I hugged him back. He kissed my head over and over. Repeatedly apologizing for what he did.

"Its okay. I forgive you." I looked up at him and smiled. He gave me a kiss on the cheek, on the one he slapped me on.

"I'm so sorry." He sobbed. I have never seen a guy cry before. I just continued to hug him and rub his back. At least he won't do it again.

"Babe its okay, don't worry. I just bought some snacks and drinks, you want some?" I pulled away to go get the snacks.

"Yes cutie, I would love something right now." I handed him some potato chips and a water. He gladly took it and started eating. I opened my salt and vinegar chips and ate them.

"Did you have to go home now?" He gave me a toothy smile. He licked his fingers and drank the rest of his water.

"No. I'm free, but I do have to buy some groceries later." I said as I stuck my hand back in my bag of chips to only find nothing, I frowned.

"That's good. We should go to my place and watch some movies." He ruffled his hair and that was hot. I wanted to feel his hair through my fingers. I bet it was soft like silk.

"Uh yeah sure. Lead the way." He gave me a hug once more and walked to his car. I turned and got in mine. I followed him and we drove for like ten minutes. I realized we were going to the richest part of the town. All the houses got bigger and more gorgeous.

"Wow." We came to a stop and I looked at the house, it had to be Mark's, it was so big. I saw him get out. I turned off the car and got out as well.

"This beauty is yours?" I couldn't stop looking at it. The garden beside it was what caught my attention the most. It was even more beautiful.

"Yeah. I don't really like it though." I looked at him with surprise. This house was many people's dream home and he had it but he didn't like it. What a bummer for real.

"Jeez Mark. Be grateful." I shook my head and followed him as he walked toward the front door.

"May I go to the garden?" I was excited to go see the whole garden.

He loves me, I think. Where stories live. Discover now
