" I ' ll send you a recording of it ." I noticed that she was already packing the stuff I brought . " Go home ." I was surprised she didn ' t follow that with , " Alexander . That ' s an order from your commander ."
I sighed . There was no point in arguing . " Fine . . ." I grabbed my small bag and threw it over my shoulder . I know she ' s looking out for me , but I ' m an adult , too . I can handle myself .
Did I tell you how much I love Jasmine ? Because I really do love her . She does so much for me . I feel like I just don ' t deserve her . After everything she ' s gone through , she still ain ' t afraid to fall in love .
Jasmine got hurt real bad in her last relationship . When we met , she had a black eye and a swollen lip . She kept her mouth shut about it for a while , but once we got to know each other , she told me her boyfriend was beating her . I was the one who got him sent to jail . We ' d been together ever since .
It was pretty late when Jasmine got to the house . I was in bed , just staring up at the ceiling . I didn ' t have anything better to do , and looking at my phone would make my headache worse . I didn ' t see her walk in , but I felt it when Jasmine sat down on the bed . " How you feelin ', babe ?" I shrugged . " Could be better ."
Jasmine nodded . " I think we both could be . What ' s even happening ?" " You know ," I said , looking away from the ceiling to look at her . " Dallas got outta jail last week ."
" Yeah . . ." Jasmine sighed . " Don ' t talk about it . I don ' t wanna think about it . I don ' t wanna think about him . You know , you ' re at more of a risk than I am . He ' s gonna wanna find you ."
I knew she was right . I knew he was gonna do something awful to me for " stealing his girl .” Jazzy was never his to begin with , though . She ' s mine . She always will be . Ain ' t nobody gonna take her away from me . " Get some sleep ," she finally said . " You need it ."
She kissed me goodnight and left . I hate being alone .
