I was very blunt in my wording, but she deserved it. She knew that Colin was taken yet she tried to seduce him anyway. This wasn’t an issue of who had no shame. She was immoral. Full stop.
She behaved like a jerk, so she deserved to be insulted.
And truth be told, I was mad and disappointed in her. She was smart and beautiful. Why did she have to devote her energy to stealing someone’s boyfriend? What was wrong with her? Jasmine, while hypocritical, was intelligent enough to catch what I was trying to say. She bit her lip and tried to deny all allegations. “You have the wrong idea, Lulu. Colin and I are friends. This must be a misunderstanding. Colin isn’t a cheater.” “Oh?” I raised my brow. “What did I say? What misunderstanding do I have? Colin isn’t a cheater, but what about you, Jasmine? What kind of person are you? Oh, aren’t you injured? Is it serious? Should I call the police? Oh wait, I mean ambulance.” Colin was sulking. The air around him turned unfamiliar, and he donned a sullen expression. Was he mad about this nocturnal excursion to Jasmine or was he angry at what I had just said? If it was the former, I’d let it slide. If it was the latter, I had plenty of things to tell both Jasmine and Colin. Ads by PubFuture
I walked past Colin and entered the room until I reached Jasmine’s bed. I was tall-several inches taller than her. And since she was lying on the bed I got to look down at her. She was below me, be it my height or my fierceness.
“I bruised my knee. It’s not that serious. No need to call an ambulance. I’ll just apply an ointment and call it a night. Sorry for troubling you two. Colin, please walk Lulu back and rest up. Her body is still growing. She needs enough rest.” Sheesh, that bitch. Was she asking Colin to sendback and return to her after? How long did she want him for? The entire night? Her actions had completely dispelled whatever fondness I had for her when we were at Lincoln University. She took Colin’s rejection very well, but that must have been an act. She laid low for many years and coincidentally, she saved his life. Now, she was going to blackmail him into dating her. Perhaps Colin’s trip to Lagado was part of her plan too. I might not have concrete evidence, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t cto my own conclusion.
I might be quite slow to catch onto things, but I wasn’t an idiot who couldn’t see what Jasmine was trying to pull off. Ads by PubFuture
“Don’t worry about me. I’m an adult now. I’m sure having less sleep won’t affectthat much. You asked Colin to cto you late at night. Given how easy it is for others to misconstrue the situation when a man goes and meets another woman at night, I would hate to see your reputation tarnished.
“Jasmine, does your wound hurt? Letsee. If It’s very serious, I’ll send you to the hospital.” I bent forward, trying to uncover her blanket.
“N-No need for that, Lulu. I’ll apply sointment myself. No need for the hassle Jasmine refused. Her hands pinned the blanket down so that I couldn’t open it.
No need for the hassle? Pfft. More like there was no wound forto check on. She was trying to avoid the embarrassment.
“But the tall man said it was a serious wound. I must check on you. Unless only Colin can see that wound? m that case, I can give you sbean privacy. Jasmine’s reddened face turned pale before flushing again.
She was like a chameleon. Hatred and disdain slowly appeared in her eyes.
