After Office Hours (Office romance)

{Blake}

Rick has just been arrested by the Police and I hope that it stays that way for a while for Jasmine's sake. I close the door and lock it I loved hearing her calling me her boyfriend, I guess I am really and that makes me so happy the most happiest I have ever been except when I first met Alice I guess. I wonder what she is up to now. I shake my head washing away any thoughts of my ex, I look at Jasmine and she still looks pale, I bring her to my chest and kiss the top of her head. Tomorrow is going to be a long ass day. 

We head upstairs and I take my jeans off and slide back under the covers, keeping my boxers and t-shirt on. "Why you keeping your t-shirt on?" Jasmine says as she slides in taking the t-shirt off and bottoms so she is laying naked next to me and now I feel guilty of ever thinking of Alice as I have this beautiful woman next to me. "Why don't you help me take my t-shirt and boxers off then" I say rubbing my nose against hers and her fingers lift my t-shirt off and then I lowed my boxers so we were equals because I know she needs closeness tonight. 

"Jasmine are you okay?" I ask her in the darkness, her head is resting on my chest, I run my fingers through her hair. "This is nice, Blake I really like this and I am okay because you're here with me" She whispers turning her head to look at me, I glance down and smile. It's too early to say the four letter l word but I am falling for this woman beside me. "We should get some sleep a long day at the Office tomorrow and I want to talk to you about a project I want to work on and also about Christmas" I say. Of course I want to spend Christmas with Jasmine but of course I want to be with my family and hers too, maybe I could book somewhere big enough for both families or is that to soon. God I wish my brain would just switch off for a moment and not jump too far ahead into the future.

"Hey you okay?" Jasmine asks me "I kind of lost you for a second there" She smiles and traces my jaw with her fingers and I gently go and try and bite them and she squeals. I chuckle I love it when she makes that sound. I can not take this woman for a road she means to much for me, "Jasmine I really care about you, I haven't felt this way for a long time about anyone special to me" I whisper pressing my lips to hers. We drift off to sleep around 4am and I toss and turn Alice keeps coming to the front of my mind like I am missing something but I am falling for Jasmine for sure.

It's the next morning and Jasmine's alarm goes off and I wake up and Jasmine is laying on her side away from me. I notice she has tear stained cheeks I brush my knuckles against her cheeks and she turns wiping her cheeks "did you know you mumble in your sleep?" She says not looking at me "oh I didn't know was it to say how lucky I am to have you in my life?" I ask leaning up on my elbow. She shook her head "you were mumbling about Alice" She says lifting her eyes at me and my stomach dropped. "So yeah" Jasmine says then throws the covers back "I'm going to take a shower" She says and gets out. "Can I join you?" I ask her and she just shrugs. Taylor texts me to let me know that he has a suit for me and that he is outside Jasmine's I head downstairs just feeling awful and so guilty and like shit. How can I fix this "Boss I'll go and wait in the car till you and Miss Howard are ready" Taylor says. 

I hear the water turn off, I missed my chance to shower with the woman I'm falling for fucking Alice, she broke me and I am not letting her breakdown what could be an amazing relationship with Jasmine. Why did she have to enter my mind at all, I head back upstairs as Jasmine comes out in just a towel and heads to her bathroom. "Jasmine, she doesn't mean anything to me you do please forgive me I'll do anything" I say looking at her beautiful face "Blake we need to get ready for work and then we will see and maybe we talk about it later a lot has happened this weekend" She says and walks away from me and into her room and I feel completely lost we just started dating and I've already fucked it up. 

I head into Jasmine's bathroom and step into her shower leaning my head back and close my eyes why did this happen to me, I just wanted to hug her and reassure her that there is nothing to worry about I am in for us all the way. I step out not feeling any better, I walk into Jasmine's bedroom and she is a vision of beauty wearing a navy blue skirt, white blouse and navy blue blazer. "Jasmine you look stunning" I say as I do up for purple tie knowing it's her favourite colour. "We will stop off at the coffee shop and then head straight to the office" Jasmine says and grabs her bag and we head downstairs "Taylor's outside" I say as I open the door and she locks the door. I want to hold her hand but I don't think she wants that right now.
