Chapter 21

As she walked down the first fleet of stairs, she looked down the hall and thought of Cory. She could not deny the fact that she missed having him around; she missed knowing he was in the same building with her. For some reason, it made her feel safer. She shook her head, telling herself to focus on what was in front of her and that was Josh.

“Hey” she said in a low tone, getting Josh’s attention off his phone.

“Hey Hon” Josh replies, walking towards her and planting a kiss on her lips

Hey Hon? Was that it? Jasmine wondered. Of course not, he was so excited to see her that he had not really noticed her dress, so of course the compliment was on its way, it had to be.

“I’ve missed you” Jasmine tells him, with a smile
