Jasmine's POV
It seems like I slept while crying yesterday because when I woke up it was already morning, and the sun was up. I check my phone and it says ten a.m.
I recalled what happened yesterday and I felt like crying all over again, but then decided against it ' he does not deserve my tears ' I thought to myself. I make my way to the bathroom and take a look at my messy face. My eyes are puffy and red.
I wash my face and the after that I brush my teeth. And the I take a shower. And when I am done, I get out of the bathroom and make my way to the kitchen to get some breakfast. I make some eggs, beacon, bread and some coffee. I sit on my couch and turn on the TV. As I flip over the channels, I come across an advertisement about traveling.
And then a thought comes to my mind ' how about I leave this country?' and with that thought, I take my cellphone and make a phone call. After the fourth ring it's picked up "Hi Jasmine, how have you been? It's been so long since we heard from you" says my mother from the other end.
"I'm doing fine mom" I say and pause, I take a deep breath to brace myself. "Er mom o have decided to leave the country" I say in one breath.
"What?! You can't be serious Jassy. And why are you leaving all of the sudden?" my mom asks panicking.
"I think I need to start afresh, away from Nate" I say.
"What happened with you and Nate honey?" my mom ask worriedly.
"I caught him cheating on me with another woman" and I drop the bomb, waiting for my mom's reaction.
" He did what? I am going to kill that bast*rd" my mom shouts on the other side of the phone.
" No mom let him be, it won't change anything even if you did" I say to calm my mom down as I know she can overreact sometimes.
" But still I can't sit here and do nothing while you are heartbroken and he is having fun. I have to do something."
" No! Mom please don't, for me at least" I say immediately.
" Okay then if you say so I won't" she says with a disappointed sigh.
I let out a sigh of relief and after that I change the topic " So yeah I think about leaving next week"
"What, so soon?" my mom sounds from the other side.
"Yeah, the sooner the better" I say to her, ruffling my hair.
She lets out a sigh of defeat "Okay then, it's your choice and life I can't keep making decisions for you, you are grown woman now"
" Thank you Mom, for everything." I say with guilt. I don't want to leave my mom behind but with what happened last night I need to move on, that includes moving to another country.
" I did everything I could. Okay I have to go honey, chat with you soon. Bye, I love you." mom says.
" Bye, love you too." I hang up, and sigh. I wondered what it would be like to move to another country.
After talking with my mom I felt lighter. My mom gets me more than anyone and I love her, but I have to clear my head and heal my heart without bumping into Nate.
After that I went to the kitchen to do the dishes. After I was done, I decided to clean up my messy apartment. As I was cleaning I found a letter that Nate once sent to me, I look at it with disgust and toss it in the trash bin.
It took me about three hours to finish cleaning my apartment and when I was done it was already lunch time so I went to take a shower and wore a plain white T-shirt, a pair of faded jeans and some sneakers. I tied my hair in a ponytail and take my cellphone, keys and purse, and got out of my apartment.
I chose to walk to the nearest fast food restaurant and I got a burger and some fried chips with a soda. As I was eating I take my phone and look for plane ticket. And when I was done. I went to my gallery and as I was swiping I stumbled upon pictures of Nate and me, I quickly deleted all of them. And then I deleted his number and everything to that involves him on my phone.
After I was finished with my lunch, I decided that I would go shopping today for fun.
I got out of the restaurant and hailed a taxi. I tell the drive to go to the mall. And when I arrive, I pay the driver and got off. Everything here is amazing, I go from one store to another, with bags on each of my hands. By the time I was done the sun was already setting, so I decided to eat some dinner before going home.
And I spot a Chinese restaurant and decides to have my dinner to there. As I am having my dinner peacefully a man approaches me and immediately I let my guards up. The man comes to me and says "Good evening Miss, is this seat occupied?"
I look up to him and fake a smile "No it's not" I answer.
"Ohh, do you mind if I take a seat?" he asks politely.
'What the hell, take a seat?' I wanted to shout but held myself. "No, not at all"
And as I said that he takes a seat across me. And I continue eating ignoring him. But as I continue eating, I can feel his hot gaze on me, so I lift up my head and look up to him.
"Err, is there something wrong sir?" I ask him suspiciously. After what Nate has done to me I can't seem to be trusting any man again
"Call me Justin" he says to me.
"Okay then Justin, is there anything wrong?" I ask again.
"You're beautiful" he says.
I nearly choked on my food. I took the glass of water and gulped it in one go. "Oh, thank you"
"Are you alright?"he asks, worry written all over his face.
"Yeah I'm fine" I say "Excuse me sir.... uh Justin but I have to go, nice meeting you. I take out my purse to pay but..
"I've got it" Justin says to me.
"No you don't have to do that" I say through gritted teeth.
"But I want to" he says instead.
"Okay then suit yourself" I say and leave, I don't have time to argue with him. As I leave I can feel his burning gaze on my back but I ignore it and walk out.
When I get out I take a deep breath. 'Well that was uncomfortable' I thought. And with that I hailed a taxi and went home.
When I get home, I open my door and get in, before I can even settle my phone beeps, I opens it and see an unread message from an unknown number. I open it and it says 𝒃𝒂𝒃𝒆 𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑰 𝒎𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒖𝒑, 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒆 𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘 𝒔𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒊𝒏, 𝑷𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆.
𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒆.
