Chapter 15: Typical antagonist with a twist
Grace was frozen in shock and couldn't quite comprehend the words that just came out of Jasmine's mouth
"What" I said stupidly
Jasmine stared at me and I swear I saw her roll her eyes at me before she turned away seemingly not wanting to repeat herself and started eating the dessert that appeared on the table.
I was about to respond before a voice butted in
"Well if it isn't Grace Vale at this cheap little cafe" A silky familiar voice was heard from next to me
I internally groaned before putting on a fake sweet smile and turned towards a dangerous beauty
"Ameila Hale, What are you doing at a small little cafe" I eye smiled "After All this isn't your style"
The lady before them was Ameila Hale, the sole child of a wealthy jewelry owner. She had striking red hair and green cat-like eyes.
" Oh, I saw you through the window and wanted to say hello" Ameila's sickenly sweet voice made me gag inside
"How sweet, but you can leave now" I said sarcastically and narrowed my eyes dangerously
Amelia paid no mind to Grace's killing intent and cupped her cheek sighing disappointingly
"What a shame. To think the powerful Grace Vale would stoop so low to hang out in such a dump" She closed her eyes regretfully
My left eye twitches irritatedly and my fist clenched underneath the table
Ameila smirked seeing my reaction, but frowned when she saw who I was sitting with
"Whos this" Her attitude took a 180 and she gazed at Jasmine with disgust
"Jasmine Black" I said haughtily
Ameila froze hearing the surname Black
"Black you say" she drawled while scanning Jasmine from head-to-toe
"Yep"
'This should shut her up. She is an arrogant person and looks down on those weaker, but she backs away when it comes to those more powerful than her. Though I do respect her a little,' I thought begrudgingly, ' she is on the weaker side of high society and a female who is to take over her father's position. She fights everyday to prove to others that she doesn't need a husband to take over the business. Though that doesn't excuse the way she treats others'
"Hm, I don't recall Mrs. Black having two daughters" Amelia slowly smirked, "but I do remember hearing about three illeginamate children arriving all of a sudden"
"She might be illegitimate but she is still a Black" I fought back
Through this whole conversation Jasmine has been ignoring them and stuffing her face with the delicious desert, but unfortunately she ran out.
Jasmine internally pouted and finally looked up. She tilted her head confused at the arrival of the new person.
Amelia caught her questioning gaze and sneered at her before covering it up
"How dimwitted are you to not hear anything going on next to you" Amelia insulted with a smile
Jasmine gazed at her a little longer before turning back to Grace and then turned back. She pointed to Amelia and asked,
"Friend?"
Grace and Amelia froze up and they looked at each before plastering their faces with disgusted looks.
"Ew" They both said in unison
'Huh? They seem like friends' Jasmine thought watching their interaction
Jasmine put a hand on her chin thinking deeply before realization came
'Oh! Maybe they're those types of friends that bicker all the time, but actually care for each other' Jasmine thought, 'Well if she's Grace's friend then I guess she's mine too. Two friends in one day, I'm on a roll!' I thought happily
While Jasmine completely misunderstood their relationship, she stood up catching the two's attention and walked up to Amelia
Amelia stiffened up but raised her head confidently
Jasmine only reached to her chest so she had to signal Amelia to lower herself down. Grace watched in confusion while Amelia started to grow nervous. When Jasmine was eye level with her she raised her hand causing Grace to smirk in satisfaction while Amelia was shocked and wanted to move away, but didn't want to upset someone of higher power.
*pat*
...….
Jasmine patted Amelia's head just like Grace did to her early
Amelia's eyes widened in shock while Grace's mouth was wide open
"Friend"
"Jasmine what are you doing!" Grace got up and took Jasmine by her arm and pulled her away from a frozen Amelia
Jasmine looked up behind her to Grace and tilted her head
"Isn't that what you do to friends"
Grace stared at her with wide eyes and facepalmed
"No jasmine…*sigh*....just no. She's not your friend" Grace sneered
Amelia finally regained her senses and straightened up, flushed from the turn of events. She coughed into her fist.
"Such a stupid girl" Amelia said with a stiff smirk
Grace glared at her
"Come on Jasmine, let's leave" Grace put the money on they table and took Jasmine's hand
Grace was pulled back by a force
"Huh?" She looked back and saw Jasmine rooted in place. Grace tried to pull on Jasmine's hand but she wouldn't budge
'How the hell?" Grace thought confused, 'She's stronger than she looks'
Jasmine broke out of the grip and pulled out her phone
"Number" She handed the phone towards Amelia who just stared confused at her actions
'Shouldn't she not like me for my arrogance and insults?' Amelia questioned
After a couple seconds Amelia slowly grabbed the phone and input her number once she saw Grace's annoyed face
'Hm' Amelia thought,' I might stick around just to annoy Grace'
She handed the phone back
"Well I have to leave, nice meeting you again Grace" She said with a fake smile
She turned to leave but stopped and looked over her shoulder to Jasmine
"Nice to meet you stupid girl"
'I feel like being with them will be chaos' Amelia thought with a sly smile as she left
Timeskip
"Jasmine" Grace said emotionlessly
"Yes" She answered back
"What are you doing?" Grace questioned
Grace stood in front of her couch while Gabriel was seated on it with Jasmine laying down with her head on his lap
Jasmine looked up at Gabriel's face
"Resting" Jasmine said
"Why are you on my brothers lap" Grace stressed
Jasmine looked at her and shrugged
Grace looked at Gabriel for help who just mischievously smirked running one hand through Jasmine's hair and the other holding a book
Grace looked between the two and just sighed in defeat and turned around
"Don't question it Grace, just don't question it" she mumbled to herself
An hour before
Grace led Jasmine to her house after lunch and settled her down in the living room
"Jasmine, stay here. I'll be right back, I'm just going out to buy some dinner supplies"
Jasmine nodded and got comfy on the couch
Five minutes after Grace left the door opened once more
"Grace! Im home" Gabriel's voice rang through the house
