Chapter 21: Playful

Ace

We had been out all day mainly because her friend wanted to spend the entire day. I literally had to pry her away because she refused to let her go into her house. I walked upstairs and went into her room to see what she was possibly doing. She was in bed already asleep snoring softly. She wrapped her hair up right away I see. One last look was given at her before I exited the room and jogged to the kitchen. Once my eyes managed to find a snack I searched for a blanket - it was awfully cold in here not that I haven't been in worse conditions but I'm still not willing to freeze my fucking ass off. I plopped down the couch and propped my feet on her table turning on the Tv. Today wasn't annoying like I thought it would be. I managed to discover more things about her wasn't too much she's interesting that's for sure. My phone dinged indicating me he was here so I got up and opened the door.

"How was she? Any behavioral issues?" He questioned wiping the blood off his hand.

A chuckle escaped my throat "You sound like my damn mother. But she was fine in fact she seems much more chill than she projects. We did, however, run into her friend but she's clueless about what's really going on so she's not needed to investigate," I explained

"Where is she now?" He scanned the room

"In her bedroom, you are more than welcomed to go upstairs and see for yourself,"

Lucius leaned against the wall looking serious making the mood Change "We have a fucking problem. Bison is wanting war with me. This morning one of the cars blew up when they pulled out the gate," I took in the information before I went to the couch. "The girl will start working again make sure you wake her before 10. Everything has been arranged for her," He said before he left

My shoulder was shaken until I opened my eyes "Jasmine, I'm up geez. What time is it?" I yawn stretching out my limps.

"It's 8:30 and you have work today at 10. Make sure you get ready" Ace's voice made me snap my eyes open before jumping.

Oh, that's right - he didn't get hit by that bus - He stayed here last night. I only gave him a quick nod before I hopped to the bathroom. He was explaining something but the words flew right over my head I couldn't concentrate because my mind was somewhere else. Thinking about that dream I had of the people in the cloaks it was extremely... odd. I only gain my concentration back when the scolding hot water burnt my skin. I needed a shower now that I think about it.

I peeked my head out to see he was sitting on my bed. "shower," I explained as nicely as I could muster.

"Ok and?"

I wanted so badly to glare at him for his stupidity but I stayed quiet until he got the hint. He stood up abruptly and slammed the door but not before threatening me. I wasn't planning on being sociable today but I've had enough. Being watched like a hawk was plain stupid especially when I already informed them more than once that I wouldn't mention the events that took place. I want to be left alone and return to my normal life but no I just had to enter the wrong room and have these psychotic people on my ass. I had locked my bedroom door before I got in the shower. The thought of being carried around not having freedom dampens my mood. Having more than one worry was stressful. Jasmine now being known as someone close to me didn't sit well but not knowing if he reported back to Lucius about that information scared me more. Being dragged into this dangerous situation wasn't something she needed to bare.

The hot water felt relieving on me well except my ankle it made it sting. I was going to take an hour shower but I remembered he said something about having somewhere to be a ten. So after the shower, I picked out my black pants and a white dress shirt and went downstairs. Once was eyes locked onto the wrapper of my chips I knew he went in my secret cabinet and was eating my stash! How dare he eat my junk food! Disappointment washed over me knowing I never got the chance to taste them. Causing an issue wasn't something needed so I kept my thoughts to myself and went to the living room waiting for him to inform me of my next task.
