Chapter Three: Baby Jasmine

Jane's POV

*Alarm clock*

*Shit.....Julieeee" I woke my sister up

"Whattt??" she grumbled getting the shits to her chest

"get your ass off that bed, it's morning"

I walked to the kitchen to get her lunch ready.

>>>>>>>>>>>

"Here you go" I handed her, her lunch.

"you know you don't have to make me lunch. I'm not a kid anymore"

"Blah blah. Take it"

"No seriously Jane, it's high time you start taking me seriously"

"Taking you seriously?"

I laughed a little.

"yes and what's funny?" she had this confused look on her face

"maybe when you start showing some sense of responsibility and maturity I'll take you seriously. "maybe". I emphasized.

I left for the living room.

"I hate youuu"

"I love you" I said when she slammed the door

Julie Baker I'm so going to pamper you, do you know why? because you're my greatest investment.

Alex POV...

"I can't believe Jasmine got into another fight this week" I fell into the chair behind my work desk.

"Seems like it's becoming a routine" David, my best friend and family doctor and partial business partner said after me.

"What pisses me off is that she always gets into fights with boys not girls. I know I fought alot as a kid but I never fought with girls so why does hers have be reverse of the case?"

This was the third time this week the school called me on behalf of Jasmine, if it isn't her getting into fights the she's throwing one of her tantrums.

i know this is what comes with being a single parent but it's not supposed to be this difficult right?

"what's her reason this time?"

"Her braids were twisted twice at one knot"

"What??....That's a stupid reason to fight"

"yeah that's what I thought until I heard the full story. Jasmine would never start a fight if it's not necessary, it appears that the boy told her if she had a mum maybe her braids would had been perfect"

"but being without a mother never got to Jasmine"

"That's correct. Miss Grace said she punched his eye when he called Jasmine and I sick weirdos. Serves him right" I chuckled.

"But his right"

"oh please David don't start with this Jasmine needs a nanny crap"

David always hammered on this topic whenever Jasmine had an issue, but trusting my Baby in another woman's care was something I wasn't sure I was ever going to consider.

"Come on bro, you can't possibly raise Jasmine alone...."

"show where it says in the Bible or constitution that I can't raise my princess alone?"

"Helloooo, she's a girl growing into a woman.....what happens when she experiences puberty for the first time? or when she needs to go shopping for her prom dress?"

"Look Dave, if I single handedly took care of her for five years now there's actually nothing I can't do. For God's sake I bathed her, changed her diapers, fed her and even watch her start teething do you know that is the most delicate and difficult time in a baby's life?..... But we both saw that through so what's puberty or prom I can't handle?"

It's been Jasmine and I against the world for five years now and I'm convinced there's actually no mountain we couldn't move together.

"I'm telling you man, you need to get her a Nanny. How long do you want to keep rushing to her school like you've been doing for years now, attending parents meeting, rescheduling meetings so you could go and attend to her unnecessary wants....Broooo with a nanny things could be easier I tell you, besides ev_"

"That's enough Dave. But we're fine the way it is"

He let out a heavy sigh...

"Alright fine.... But I wonder how you'll juggle all of this with our biggest partnership coming up. Maybe when they're about to seal the deal Jasmine's teacher we'll call to tell you that She flew the fence because she thought it was you standing outside the school".

"Shut up, you know that's not possible".

"Getting Jasmine a nanny is the best thing you can do for her since you don't fancy the idea of marriage"

"Spare me that marriage crap, I'm not interested in that shit"

"then get your child a Nanny".

Good evening everyone....I hope y'all are enjoying the book, Please leave your comments. it would mean alot.
