"Thanks Jasmine. You were my last hope. I was considering just bringing Gracie to work with me, if you hadn't applied.'' I began. Both of us stood to shake hands. "You're a lifesaver.''
''As are you. You don't know how desperate I was myself,'' she replies, moving from the table and begins walking with me to the door.
''Then I guess we're both doctors,'' I joke. I wasn't sure if she got it based on the confused stare she was giving me. "You get it? Because, doctors save lives? Nevermind. You start Monday.'' I mumble, walking out of the cafe.
You're an idiot, Cole.

Don't Fall in Love with the Flirt
WARNING! Don't fall in love with the flirt. You're bound to get your heart broken... Growing up, Jasmine Lopez has always been the pretty one. Her stunning features and natural charm have made all the boys flock at her feet and all the other girls hate her. She's that girl who'll steal your date and make your boyfriend's eyes stray. But here's a secret - Jasmine is not the consummate flirt everyone believes her to be. All the guys she dates only see her as a challenge and not as girlfriend material. So she dates a lot but never commits to one guy. It's her way of pushing them away and keeping her heart safe. Until her childhood BFF Sebastian moves back into town. Sebastian is the friendly guy-next-door (with six-pack abs!) who's just too good to be true. And for the first time in her life, Jasmine feels like she can be herself around someone. No games. No pretenses. As they spend more time together, Jasmine thinks that maybe, just maybe, she's starting to catch feelings for him. Can Jasmine let go of her player persona and finally open her heart? Or is Sebastian just playing a game of his own? -- This story has 20 Chapters! (COMPLETE) #1 BESTSTORYEVER in just 1 week! 24 June 2022 - 25 July 2022 #13 BOYNEXTDOOR - 29 June 2022Complete
