| "Jassssssssssssyyyyyyyyy!" The guy came up and hugged her tightly. I thought I made this clear. Only I call her "Jassy" dammit! Who the hell are you anyway? "Oh my God! Josh!!" Jasmine squealed. Right. It *so* figures. "My, you've grown." Josh said looking her up and down. "You're like, 14, now right? He winked. Nick winced. He's older than me. He's a dick. I hate him. "She's 20." Nick said, firmly. Now would you please go now? "I'm guessing you're Nick." Josh said with a sly grin. "I've heard alot about you from Jassy here. I hear you've been taking good care of her. Keep up the good work." Josh looked over at Jasmine and she smiled. "She's quite the tiger, isn't she?" He nudged Nick jokingly. Nick backed away. Your presence is unwelcome. Notice me backing away from your repulsive touch. Sure, chicks may dig your look. I don't. You suck. Go away. I wish I had the balls to say this to you instead of thinking it you bastard. Oh..then you'd be sorry. "You'll have to excuse him." Jasmine said quietly to Josh. He's really easily hurt and he's pissed that I didn't tell him about you." "Yeah, I heard you guys talking about me." Josh said almost angrily. "Yeah, you'll have to forgive Brian, too. He has a crush on me or something." Jasmine said trying to explain. "Do you really think I raped you?" Josh asked thoughtfully. "No, not really. Sometimes I don't know though." Jasmine replied truthfully. "You can't rape the willing, as you said." Josh replied. "I know, hun. I'm not sure if I was willing." Jasmine explained. "Fair enough. Brian liked you a lot, doesn't he?" Josh said trying to change the subject. "Sometimes more than I wish he would." Jasmine said. Nick overheard. Huh? Okay..whatever. "I'm sure you've heard about Alyssa." Josh said regretfully. "Yeah." Jasmine replied. "I heard she's doing alot better." Josh smiled. "We have to go." Nick said emotionlessly. Josh frowned. "Okay. See you around, Josh." Jasmine sighed. "Love ya." Josh said quietly. Jasmine smiled softly. "Nick loves you, a whole lot. Don't let him go." Jasmine smiled bigger. "I know. And I won't" She replied. "Well, if you want to stay and talk to your former flame instead of spending time with the boyfriend you never get to see I can leave you here." Nick said angrily. "Seems as though you either want to talk to Josh or Brian. It's never me. No, it's NEVER me." "Nick, stop it." Jasmine pleaded. "So what if you think he possibly raped you? He's a wonderful person. So what if he dealt drugs and actually got your friend hooked on heroin. He's a fucking BRILLIANT person. God damn, how did you ever let him go? He's so much better than me." Nick fought back tears in his eyes. "You can't rape the willing." Josh retorted. "It seems as though you did." Nick muttered. "STOP IT." Jasmine yelled. "Nick, stop acting like an asshole. Josh, back off." "Fuck you." Nick retorted. Shit. Ok..too far. BAD IDEA Carter. Shit. "If you would be so lucky with her." Josh shot out to Nick. "I was." |
