Jasmine

There wasn't a word to describe how I felt towards Alexander right now.

He takes care of me and he lives my son as if he were his own. He's so good with Elijah I'm surprised he doesn't have experience with kids but Elijah is more of a grown man then a toddler so that's one advantage he has.

I was currently packing Elijah's things from my parents home because instead of taking him on this trip he was going with his dad. It's been awhile since he's seen him and I know how hurt Eric would be if I took Eli on this trip without him seeing him first.

Yeah, Alexander wanted him to come and explore the island with us but Eric is his father and he has a right to see his son and so to keep the confusion down I told Eric he could take him. Of course it took convincing Alex but he came around eventually.

"Knock, knock" someone said as they entered Eli's room. Elijah jumped off the bed and straight for the door once he heard his father's voice.

"Daddy! Daddy! I come with you" he screamed as he jumped in Eric's arms.

"You bet you are. Now, give me and tell your mom a minute and I'll come get you so we can start our day of fun okay buddy?"

"Yes" he wasted no time running down the stairs into the living room. Oh my baby's growing up.

"Hi" he said awkwardly while scratching the back of his neck. We haven't really talked since that night he came to pick me up so I guess this is a little awkward for us.

"Hi" I answered back. I wonder if he dislikes me from my lack of communication with him over this time we've been apart.

I mean we've been apart before but we always remained friends well, until now.

"Look jasmine I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable or any kind of way that night but you have to believe that I never intended to. I was stupid I know but please, I miss my jasmine"

Aww he apologized this is the Eric I know that's sweet and caring and wouldn't want to take advantage of me.

No what am I saying Alex would be so angry if he knew about this.

But Eric is Elijah's father you've known him since you were sixteen and he's been the same Eric since high school days. He was your first love jasmine.

Wait do I still love Eric?

Of course I do I mean look at him. He's caring and lovable yeah he might have his days but no one is perfect. He's so sweet where Alex ooze intimidation.

Did i just compare him to Alex? Oh this is really bad.

"I'm sorry Eric I-I cant do this" I placed Elijah's suitcase in his hands and leave the room in a hurry.

I find Eli sitting on the couch just watching tv without a care in the world. I smiled and kissed his forehead telling him goodbye before leaving.
*******

Parked outside of Alexander's home I stay inside of the car for a few minutes contemplating if I should go inside or not. They have been nothing but rude to me every since they got here and to be honest I'm tired of it.

"I can do this only a few more days before me and Alexander finally leave for a vacation. I can do this" I prep myself for the unruly people inside. Right before I went inside I got a message from an unknown number.

Unknown- you're way to beautiful to be sad love. Cheer up and show me that gorgeous smile.

The picture was of me sitting in the car pouting. I looked around frantically at the suspicious looking cars lurking in the neighborhood. I quickly jumped out of my car and ran inside the house to find Alex and tell him about this mystery person watching me in the neighborhood.

The house was full of chaos as usual with Alex and his family speaking another language to one another while I don't know a word of it.

"mamma sto cercando di dirtelo ma tu non stai ascoltando. non l'avrò in questa casa cercando di riprendermi di nuovo! questa sarà l'ultima volta!" Alexander was yelling.

I didn't want to interrupt but I needed to tell him this. I already know he will be angry if he found out himself that I didn't tell him as soon as it happened.

"Alexander" I tapped his shoulder but he shrugged it off and continued to argue with his mother about something. I knew how much his mother didn't like me but I needed for him to hear this.

"Alex" I repeated and tapped him once more. He still didn't acknowledge me as him and his mother screamed back and forth. I didn't feel comfortable with all the yelling voices coming from every one in the house.

"Alex" I tapped him again and this time he exploded.

"Stop fucking touching me jasmine! Don't you see I'm having a conversation with my mother why the hell do you keep pestering me for!" The whole house went silent at his booming voice.

I was startled and shock by his reaction to me. I put my head down in shame and stuttered out an answer. Well, tried.

"I-I w-wanted t-to-"

"Stop stuttering and spit it the fuck out already!"

I sniffed and tried to hold back the tears that threatened to escape but I couldn't hold them back once I met his eyes. They were so fierce and cold I couldn't even comprehend what to do.

"I'm sorry" I ran out of the door and down the street. I made sure to leave his keys because I didn't want him upset with me even more for taking his car keys.

I ran as far as I could until I seen a bus stop where I sat to breathe. I took out my phone and dialed the only number I could.

"Jasmine? Mommy!" I could hear the excitement in Eli's voice. His voice made me smile just from hearing it.

"I'm sorry if I'm ruining your time with Eli"

"Nonsense wassup?"

"Could you possibly pick me up just for the day" or maybe two until I can find out what I'm going to do after that.

"Are you Okay? I'm on my way!" I could hear him shuffling in the background.

"Thank you Eric"

"No problem just let me know where you're at and stay on the phone so that I know you're okay"

I smiled and thanked him once again. Why did I ever leave him when he's showed me that he's always here for me? Why did I leave him when he's never acted the way that Alex has whenever he's angry?

Why did I choose Alex?
