The Girl He Ever Wanted{Unedited}

Chapter 16

"You've got to be kidding me." Emily said to her friend with a furrowed brow.

Jasmine shrugged and looked down on her fingers and started playing with it.

"Honestly I don't believe you Jasmine would finally like or love a guy. Tell me,how did it all happen?". Emily asked moving closer to where Jasmine was sitting.

"Actually, its kind of complicated." Jasmine replied.

"Complicated? How do you mean?". Emily asked.

Jasmine huff. "Its a long story. But I'll..." Jasmine was cut in by her friend.

"I don't mind. I'm listening. Go ahead and tell me. I don't want you to cut it short. I'm your closest friend and you know we don't hide things from each other." Emily said in a persuaded tone.

"Fine. I'll tell you all that you need to know,"- Jasmine said and paused taking a deep breath before she continued,-"it all started when he came to my shop with his fiance to do some makeup that fateful day. When I saw him,there's this thing I can't explain that got me staring at him for a long time which is something I rarely do. It wasn't just me that did the staring,he also did. Our eyes were locked for more than a minute. We got back to our normal self when his fiance noticed it and called our attention. When he later left with her,I thought that was the end of it,I thought I would never see him again, but...but I was wrong." She paused and swallowed the lump of saliva she was having in her throat.

"You saw him again after that day?". Emily asked staring at her friend.

Jasmine nodded and continued. "Yeah,I did. I met him again at my dad's company when I went to give a presentation my dad gave me to handle in his company. It happens him and his dad are partners with my dad's company."

"What?!". Emily exclaimed with wide eyes.

"Yeah. I never knew as well, not until that day. I was so surprise just as you are right now. Do you know the worst part of it all?". Jasmine asked and Emily shook her head and gestured her to continue.
"Three days later,both of us were paired as partners to go for a three days trip to Abuja for a business purpose."

"Oh my goodness! And you went?". Emily asked.

"Yeah. I never knew he'll be my business partner. I already got to the airport before I was told,and I couldn't say no to my dad because it will cost him his contract with his partners at Abuja to be terminated. I didn't wanted to see my dad in such a pain that's why I accepted to go." Jasmine answered.

"What a fate. When you saw him again, were you happy? What did you guys do when you saw each other?". Emily asked now looking so engrossed with her friend's love story.

"He pulled me into a suffocated hug." Jasmine replied and Emily chuckled.

"Its not funny,girl." Jasmine said given her friend a playful glare.

"Oh. OK. Please continue." Emily said ceasing her chuckles.

"Good. When we got to Abuja, I was finally killed.... I meant literally". Jasmine corrected with her fingers curved on the air.

"Killed? Literally? How?". Emily asked confusedly.

"We were sharing one hotel room." Jasmine said.

"Oh boy! Sounds cool." Emily said with a giggle which only got her a pinch on her laps by Jasmine and she squeal.

"Cool you say? I've got a b*tch as a friend then"- Jasmine said and Emily gave her a tongue out before she continued. -"Well,that's by the way. I wasn't happy with the decision of both of us sharing one room but since it was a decision made by the CEO of the company we are dealing with, I had no choice but to accept it like that." Jasmine continued telling her friend all that happened right to the dinner she had with him earlier today.
