The Girl He Ever Wanted{Unedited}

Chapter 25

Jasmine was woken up with the buzzing of her phone that was placed close to the lamp stand. Sluggishly,she opened her eyes and then used her back hand to rub off her sleepy eyes. She covered her eyes when she saw the brightness of the sun greeting her through the windows.
"Its morning already. What time is it now?". She mumbled with a yawn and sat up. Her phone started buzzing again,so she stretched her hand the table pick up the phone. She didn't care to look up the caller, she slide it and placed the phone on her ear.
"Hello". She answered in a groggy tone.

"Hi Brandy. Looks like I'm the first caller to wake you up. Its exactly what I wanted. How are you doing today?" Ray said with a grin on his end.

Jasmine quickly sat up,widening her eyes. The sleep in her eyes wiped off immediately when she recognized it was Ray's voice. She wasn't expecting his call,she didn't even wished to speak with him this morning not after what happened yesterday. 'Why didn't I even look at the caller before receiving the call in the first place?',Jasmine questioned herself face palming herself inwardly with a sigh.

"Brandy?". Ray called when she didn't reply.

"Ugh. I'm fine. Why did you call so early?". She replied abruptly.

"Nothing much. I miss you that's why I'm calling. I didn't get to hear your voice last night before sleeping,so I decided to call first thing this morning." Ray said with enthusiasm.

"Oh.OK." Jasmine replied abruptly again.

"Sweetie,are you OK? You're sounding weird." Ray replied with a worried tone sensing something was wrong with Jasmine response. She wasn't feeling excited as usual.

"Nothing. I need to go now. I want to prepare and go to my dad's company. I'll talk to you later. Bye." Jasmine replied and hanged up.

"Hello,hello,hello..." Ray said but found out that she has already dropped the call.
"What's wrong? Why is she cold towards me this morning? Maybe she had a nightmare of me,or she woke up on the wrong side of the bed". He sighs and shrugged. "I'll get to talk to her later, I think by then her mood would be better." He added before doing fifteen pushups and headed to the bathroom.

Jasmine had seen her friend,Emily off to the motor park to board a bus back to Lagos this morning before she came to her dad's company. A lot was going on her mind while she was heading to her office on the fifth floor. She was thinking of the beautiful moments she had with Ray few days ago,but at the same time she was making a decision of shutting him off her life. To her,its something she really needs to do. She's thinking of calling him out after work to meet up with him and tell him what's on her mind and she's also having a rethink of what Emily had told her 'don't let him go, babe. Hold on to him,he really loves you. He'll be hurt if you chose to leave him this way. You need to fight for what yo love,babe. Don't just let him go all because you want Sylvia to be happy and you'll end up making yourself sad. This were the words of Emily to Jasmine before she left to Lagos. Jasmine sigh with confusion on what to do. Not looking where she was going, she bumped her face on something hard, no, not something but someone.

She rubbed her forehead still looking downward and mumbled something under her breathe.

"Won't you at least say sorry for bumping on me?". The masculine voice said with a smirk.

Jasmine furrowed and raised her head up to see who it was. She gaped and fixed her gaze on the handsome guy that was putting on a blue shirt and a black suit with a light brown chinos trouser in front of her. "Raymond". She mumbled still staring at him while her heart was beating fast at the sight of him. She couldn't help admiring how gorgeous he looks today.

"Yeah,Brandy. Are you OK?". He asked wanting to touch her face but she flinched.

"Please excuse me. I need to get to work." She said walking past him to enter the elevator. She pressed the button and got inside waiting for it to close. Just as it was about closing, a foot stepped in making it not to close. He was here again. Raymond.
