jack vanessa and i got seated at the long table of the restaurant we're eating at. i'm a little nervous to see jasmine tonight after how things went on friday. i guess i was being a little rude, out of jealousy.
it's like no matter how much effort i put into vanessa and i's relationship we just haven't been clicking like we use to. the spark is gone, she hasn't made me happy for months now. we've just been attempting to get the spark back, but it hasn't came.
i get butterflies when i see jasmine, there's something so special about her. she makes me feel like i'm in highschool again. but she also makes me feel like an idiot because she's found someone new. nate isn't good for her, and i know that. she doesn't see it yet.
sammy arrives with his date, jasmine's friend gabby. i guess they're dating now, but it probably won't last long like his usual relationships. after that, johnson arrives with his wife hailey. then finally, nate and jasmine arrive.
"so nate's dating her now, your assistant?" vanessa asks me with a disgusted look on her face, making no effort to keep her voice down.
i shoot her a dirty look, before hailey speaks up quietly, "i think she's pretty."
nate and jasmine make their way to the table, sitting at the only seats left. jasmine sits across from me, while nate sits beside her.
the waiter comes and we all make our orders, then everyone creates small talk as we wait for our food.
this whole time, i'm unable to keep my eyes off of jasmine and i hate it. if i could make the feelings i have for her just go away, i would.
i love vanessa, i do, but our relationship isn't the same. all the money has gotten to her head and changed her. i've been trying my best to keep our family happy for kelsie. i don't want her to suffer through growing up in a broken home.

jasmine everyone's finishing up their food, and seeming to have a good time. i keep accidentally locking eyes with jack. but i continue to be the one that breaks it.
i can't say that i don't feel anything between jack and i, and i hate that. i'm always pushing the thought out of my head. there will always be something between us, even if i'm not sure what it is.
but i'm happy with nate, and that's what matters. he fulfils my needs and wants, and i love him.
nate nudges my arm, bringing me out of my thoughts. "i'll be back." he says, giving sammy a nod causing him to also stand up and exit the restaurant. i'm left confused, looking to gabby.
"smoke break." jack whispers, so only i can hear it.
i shoot jack a confused look, and point to my phone signaling that i'll text him so we don't make a scene or anything.
to jack🤪: so um i didn't know nate smoked..
from jack🤪: weed and cigarettes. there's a lot of things you don't know about him.
to jack🤪: whatever jack, i know lots about him.
from jack🤪: woah, no need to get sassy ;)
i look up at jack from my phone to see he's already looking at me. i roll my eyes at him.
to jack🤪: take a picture it lasts longer.
i then watch as jack puts his phone out in front of him, ready to take my picture. i shake my head at him, but then smile for it.

vanessa instantly gives jack and i a dirty look. "she just needed someone to take her picture." jack lies, shrugging.
nate then appears back into the restaurant alongside sammy, and you can already tell he's as high as high can get.
i give him a dirty look. really? at a fancy supper with friends? couldn't it wait? i feel embarrassed.
nate and sammy sat down at the table silently. i could smell the weed on them. i didn't speak to nate.
jack made the big announcement about taking everyone on the cruise, and they were all so excited. i would be too, but right now, my mood is ruined.
everyone gets ready to go, before jack looked at me and realized nate was my drive, and now, he's clearly unable to drive.
jack mumbles something to vanessa, sending her towards johnson and hailey, before jack walks towards me.
"there's no way he's driving you home," jack says, looking to nate. "i'll drive you two back to nate's apartment."
"thank you, but it's our apartment." i correct jack, letting him know nate and i moved in together.
jack's jaw clenches, showing he's bothered. that always happens. why does apart of me like that he's jealous?
jack nods in response, and leads nate and i to his matte black lamborghini. of course this is his car.
jack opens the passenger door for me, and i thank him as i get in. nate gets in the back.
"babe are you mad at me?" nate asks, his voice sounding slightly off since he's so high. i'm so disappointed, i don't even want to talk to him.
"we'll talk about it later nate." i answer, looking out the window as we begin to drive, trying to distract myself.
"i did nothing wrong!" nate yells, putting his head in his hands.
jack sends me a look. "the drugs and alcohol fuck him up easily.. once he starts he can't stop."
"fuck you jack! you don't know anything!" nate yells even louder, sounding as mad as i've ever heard him.
i'm embarrassed at how much he's acting like a child. i don't know what'll happen when we get back to our apartment.
"you're fucking lucky i offered you a ride, you would've killed your girlfriend driving home tonight!" jack fires back, leaving me scared.
jack is intimidating when he's this mad. i just hope we're back soon, i hate this tense car ride.
