Under His Protection

Cory gets up slowly and creeps out of the bed, trying his best not to make any noise that would wake Jasmine up, as she was still deeply asleep. He plants a gentle kiss on her forehead, puts on his shirt and tiptoes out of the room quietly. 


He had deliberately parked his car a few blocks away from the Grant villa, to prevent unwanted eyes from seeing him when he returned later on, the day before. He climbs down the stairs cautiously to avoid anyone noticing him leave the boss’s quarters, and slips out, only stopping briefly at the gate to acknowledge the guards who were preparing to change shifts. 


He puts on his ear plugs and starts to jog towards the direction where his car is parked, his mind occupied by the events of the previous night, and this new overwhelming feeling he now had for Jasmine, which he couldn’t control sufficiently.
