Ever since the date Jasmine and Sebastian went on, they have been going on dates and enjoying each other company. They would flirt in the office and would make out in the office when it was only them alone in the company and they both loved it. Clover went back to America to finalize some paperwork and Amanda went with her to help. Life was going great.
Sebastian was in his office doing work when Jasmine walked in and locked the door and closed the blinds. She walked to Sebastian and he looked at her and smiled and turned his chair. She went to him and sat in his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Well, Hello there beautiful," he said and wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled and looked at her. She giggled and kissed his cheek and laid on his shoulder.
"I'm tired," she said and closed her eyes and yawned, and hugged him tightly.
"Well, I did tell you to go to bed after that movie we watched together but you just had to watch a series" he smiled softly as he spoke.
"It was speaking to me, I had to watch it," she said and looked at him.
"Well it's not my fault," he said and peck her nose and looked at him and smiled. She smiled and looked at him and kissed him and held his face.
They continued kissing and there was a knock at the door. Sebastian groaned and kissed her. The knock was there again. He groaned
"I'm not here!" he said and Jasmine smiled and kissed him.
"Is that how you speak to your father, Sebastian?" the person asked.
Jasmine widened her eyes and pulled away and got open and fixed herself and closed and looked at Sebastian and wiped off his lips and went and opened the door. Sebastian groaned and looked at his dad.
"Father what are you doing here?" he asked.
"Hmm, well I was in town and I said 'let me go look for my son and my granddaughter'" his father said and smiled and sat down and saw Jasmine.
"Well she's at the company's daycare," Sebastian said and fixed his tie.
"Hmm, is that the new Personal Assistant?" his father asked and Jasmine bowed and introduced herself. Sebastian's father nodded and greeted back.
Sebastian's Dad, Jacob Rae was in his 50s and was the older version of Sebastian. He had black hair with grey streaks at the front, he had well-kept facial hair and light brown eyes. He was dressed in his suit and had a cane.
"Father what are you doing here?" he asked and sat down.
"Well, can't I be in town and check up on my son?" he asked as he sat on his sofa.
"Well when you are here, it's either to tell me to find a girl to marry, for Mia, or-" he stopped and looked at him.
"Well I'm here for Mia and your mom's death anniversary," he said and Jasmine looked.
"It's been years son since you haven't gone to her grave ever since you went to college and started working," he said
Sebastian sighed and got up and looked at him. Ever since he started University he stopped going to her graveside and talked to her. Every time he said he wanted to go he'll back out until he never goes again.
"I…I can't go…I'm busy" he said and looked outside.
Jacob sighed and got up "if you change your mind, tomorrow I'll be at the graveside," he said and nodded and walked out and Jasmine bowed.
Jasmine turned to him and went and hugged him from behind and rubbed his chest and Sebastian held her hands.
"You should go visit her, Seb," she said and laid on his back.
"I know but it's hard," he said and sighed.
"Hey there, I'll go there with you but I'm sure she misses you coming there and talking to her and telling her about your life…and even seeing Mia," she said and looked at him.
He nodded and sighed and closed his eyes.
"Okay I'll go tomorrow with Mia and dad and also you, I want to tell her about you" he smiled and nodded and hugged her tightly and kisses her and she smiled and kissed back.
It was the next day. Sebastian didn't sleep at all last night. He kept waking up in the night from nightmares of his mom and how she died. Ever since she died, he has had nightmares. He remembered that day vividly and he wish he wasn't a brat that day. He wished to turn back the hands of time but he can't. Sebastian got up and wiped his tears and went to get ready for the day. He asked one of the maids to ready Mia. He called Jasmine while he was in the shower and was staring out into space.
Jasmine searched for her phone half asleep and she answered it.
"Hello?" she said in her sleepy voice. Sebastian smiled.
"Seems like I woke you," he said and bathe. She shot up and looked at the time and she blushed.
"No no, you didn't wake me," she said and sat on the bed. Sebastian smiled.
"How was your sleep?" he asked as he washed his hair.
"Um it was good" she was blushing. She heard the shower.
"Oh you are bathing but today is not work," she said.
"Yea I know, remember I'm going to my mom's grave," he said and she widened her eyes and got up and went to her closet.
"Oh crap! I didn't look for my dress or shoes! my hair is a mess! Aish!!" she shouted and Sebastian laughed.
She took out a black dress and black heels and some jewelry and took the phone and went to the bath.
"Why am I like this?!" she said and took off her PJs and went to wash her hair.
"Hey Hey, relax baby," he said to calm her down and she blushed.
"Calm down, besides I just started showering so no need to rush," he said and she hummed and washed her hair.
"Sorry I kinda forgot," she said.
"It's okay baby," he said
"Did you sleep last night?" she asked and there was a long pause.
"No I didn't get any," he said.
"After we come back from your mom's grave, We can come back to my house and you can cuddle and sleep on me how does that sound?" she said and smiled.
"Sounds good " he smiled and washed out the shampoo and went and conditioned his hair and she smiled.
They kept talking about the phone while they both got ready. They both enjoyed each other company. After an hour passed, they were ready and Sebastian was on his way to Jasmine's apartment with Mia in her car seat. After some time, he reached and she smiled and went into the car and hugged him tightly. He smiled and hugged back and closed his eyes. After they pulled apart, Sebastian drove off to the cemetery. It was a long drive. His father lived near there so he was already there.
Two hours passed and Sebastian reached. He stopped along the way to get his mom's favorite flowers. His dad saw the car and smiled. Jasmine got out holding Mia and Jacob smiled.
"Son! how are you?" he asked and hugged him and Sebastian nodded and hugged him and smiled. Jacob let him go and Sebastian walked to his mom's tombstone and kneel down on it and put the flowers on it. Jacob walked to Jasmine and stood beside her she bowed.
"No need for that since you are dating my son" he smiled and she widened her eyes.
"I might be old but I'm not dumb," he said.
"You must be wondering how she died…" he stopped and Jasmine nodded and he continued.
"When Sebastian was in his final year of high school, he had a football game that day. I was away at a business meeting so I couldn't go. He was angry at me but I told him I'll be at the next game. His mom, Sarah, was to go but got caught in a business meeting and was also in traffic. She called him and he answered. He argued with her and she tried to calm him down but he told her that if she didn't hurt up then he'll hate her forever. She couldn't stand that so she drove out and a truck hit the side of the car. Ever since that day, he hasn't played football" Jacob said and Jasmine felt bad and held Mia.
"I know he might be a handful but please take care of him," Jacob said and Jasmine nodded.
Sebastian was crying and apologizing to his mom and holding onto her tombstone and Jasmine gave Mia to Jacob and went to him and hugged him tightly and rubbed his back and comforted him. While in her arms, he kept apologizing and saying how much he loved his mom. Jacob watched and held Mia and smiled and looked into the sky.
"He's found the right one darling," he said and kissed Mia's cheek.
It was now evening and they reached back home. Mia is with Jacob and Sebastian and Jasmine are back home. Sebastian let Mia stay with her grandfather for a few days. He hasn't spoken to anyone since he stopped crying and Jasmine walked him upstairs and put him on the bed and went to change her clothes and gave him a change of clothes and he took it and put it on. Jasmine went to him and held his face and kissed him and he kissed back.
"I'm sure she forgive you a long time ago and she loves you dearly," she said and wiped his tears. He nodded and cried and she hugged him.
She went to lay on the bed and he went and laid on her chest and she held him and stroke his hair and he eventually fell asleep to a rune he knew all too well. Jasmine was humming a tune that his mom used to do for him.
Jasmine is his safe place.
