The moment Her mum left her room she stayed for a while before finally removing her cover cloth,she glanced at Grandma Royales side she felt her presence but she still asked, "Grandma are you there"worriedly.
"yes dearie"Grandma replied.
"I wish you turned back to your image"Jasmine wished out of curiosity and Grandma's image became visible.
"Grandma what exactly am I"since the Royales were not ordinary people she knew they were the only one she could trust with her curiousity,What she had not realized was her trust in Grandma Royale has increased immensely unlike the hatred she had in her heart when they had first met ,but Grandma Royale had noticed it.
"Jasmine you are a rare Gem,now you will sleep I don't want you getting dark circles round your eyes,it's morning already we will talk later okay,and Jasmine thanks for today"Grandma was being considerate of her Granddaughter and she had promised to see her later in the day so it was better if she slept well.
"Ok Grandma, Good morning"at this Jasmine gave a loud yawn,it never crossed her mind if Grandma's word had charmed her to sleep.
Once Grandma watched Jasmine sleep deeply,she teleported back to her room,
she had never expected Jasmine to heal her but she did,But she knew Jasmine has only extended her life a bit the soul bond was unbreakable,the bond between her husband and her was unbreakable,she was still glad to see her Grandson wed, and his birthday made her smile.
Curling herself in the bed, vampires had never been blessed from heaven with sleep only her grandchildren could sleep after all their mother was a human and they had inherited the human attribute from her.
she was anticipating her families reaction when they see her new look,this morning,at that thought she stood up agily and ran to her bathroom to check her new look in the mirror,and her curiousity didn't disappoint her it only shocked her ,she looked ,just like her young self.
-------------------
Sunday service came and left, Jasmine's family had received the shock of their life when they saw the Royales in the church fellowship.
Jasmine on the other hand was not shocked remembering all her activities with Grandma Royale yesterday,she knew the options she had was to accept the Kings family proposal, remembering the proposal ,she had forgotten to read the letter the king had given her yesterday,she wondered what was in it.she would read it later once she got home,but she had forgotten when the Royale accompanied them home,after everyone had eaten the food Mrs Cole had prepared,Jasper stayed and took permission from the coles to speak with Jasmine,if he was ever going to gain her love, her trust,he needed to learn things about her and that starts from now and if he ever was going to learn it it would be from her,he thought.
"Hi"Jasper started.
"Hey"Jasmine Replied him she has never acted awkward until now.
"you don't have to feel awkward since we are going to see each other often from now on and my name is Jasper santus Royale,your future husband to be in three days,you can call me Jasper"Jasper said Introducing himself.
Rolling her eyes in her mind at the way he had introduced himself "and I am Jasmine ,your wife I guess"she said shocked at how easily she had said the word wife smoothly like they had known each other for years.
Jasper was a little bit happy at her acknowledgement on being his wife,but he noticed her unsettling mind and he smirked,Grandma had told him not to worry.
"can we have a walk"he asked nicely and in expectations stretched his hand towards her, as if controlled by a magnetic force,her hands willingly slide into his this got Jasper smiling,as they both strolled hand in hands.It had begun to snow,even though the Royales didn't feel cold since their blood was cold,Jasper knew best how his dad treated his mum when she was human before he turned her to half vampire,at this thought he drew her close holding her waist and drew her to his warmth he had allowed the human in him to take over his body temperature.
Once he was certain she won't get cold he caught sight of a bus stop seat and directed them both there as they both sat,he still didn't leave her waist.
Jasmine was new to Jaspers possessive act who wasn't her dad or Thomas her best friend act the way Jasper treated her now,she blushed at his attentiveness to her,even though she was dressed in coats,gloves,shawls and boots she still felt cold,her cheeks flushing as the wind blew her hair that sent shivers to her spine,she was trying to hide it all this while but it seems the vampire was nice after all.
"what do you have interest in doing"he asked her snapping her out of her thoughts.
"I love cooking,baking, writing and reading"she replied him.
"what about you"Jasmine asked curiously,if he was going to ask her questions she was more than ready to do the same as well.
Jasper shrugged his shoulders lightly still not letting go of her waist,"doing things I am pleased with"he replied her.
"well what University did you apply to"he asked her even though he knew it already he only wanted to get close to her with his questions.
"Actually my mum have no fund for now so I never bothered to apply"Jasmine replied truthfully,she has never been the type to lie about her parents status and has never been bothered by it.
Jasper knew this he was testing her waters,"what if I admit you to be my assistant in one of the Royales bakery branches in United kingdom would you accept"Jasper asked hoping for a yes.
Jasmine on the other hand wasn't sure how to reply,she didn't want to be at the debt of the Royales ,they had saved her from a marriage she would have never been comfortable with and would die in not only that she was also going to marry their son the richest man in Europe,and she was being helped to discover who she never knew she was.
Jasper seeing her reluctance, immediately"I wasn't asking you miss Jasmine Cole I was just informing you of my decision to do so actually"he said, giving Jasmine no space to refuse.
suddenly Jasper phone rang,it was John on the other end,picking it up he mouthed an okay and for once removed his hand from Jasmine's waist locking them with her hands one more time before hanging up.
Standing up he did the unthinkable,he kissed Jasmine at the edge of her lips,he didn't know if his body would support the Beast in him if he took her by her lips directly,so he quickly turned his head leaving Jasmine heart beat fast as she was left in shock ,calming herself down couldn't bring her heart to beat normally.
"Seems we will have to stop here,I've got some work to do now,it was nice talking to you miss Cole,and we will see around tomorrow I promise, we will talk better and" sliding his business card in her hands"you can call me with this and I would be taking you to the bakery tommorow,he winked at her.
as he turned and walked them both back to the Cole's home, leaving Jasmine speechless .
