One Night Mistake
2006 Words
"Good morning family" Jasmine greeted, sitting close to her older brother, Damian.
"You look like a mess" Damian whispered to her, wearing a mocking smile on his face.
"Have you seen yourself in the mirror?" Jasmine replied. Damian kicked her leg from under the table. Just as she was about to retaliate, her father cleared his throat.
They both stopped. Sophie dropped her fork and leaned back on the chair.
"Mr Isaac and his family will be coming for dinner tomorrow"
"Mr Isaac? Your childhood friend?" Damien asked his father and he nodded.
"Why is he coming?" Jasmine asked, cutting into her bacon.
"They want to make a marriage proposal" he said.
Damian clapped his hands.
"Woah, Sophie is finally going to get married" he said. Jasmine smirked and ate from the bacon.
"No, not Sophie. It's Jasmine. Fred is going to marry Jasmine" he said. Jasmine shot her eyes wide open and smirked.
"I can't marry Fred" Jasmine said.
"Why?" Her father asked.
"Yeah, why?" Her mother added.
Jasmine stood up.
"He is my childhood friend, I get it. I really can't get married to him. You can't understand how it feels dad. But if you go on with this marriage, I'll have to leave the house again" she said and walked away.
Everyone watched her leave. Her mother stood up, wanting to go after her.
Mr Raymond grabbed her hand and shook his head.
"Let her be. She'll come back to her senses. She must marry Fred, whether she likes it or not" he said.

Jasmine entered into her room and quickly got dressed. She wanted to leave the house because she was annoyed, probably... Go to see her friend.
.
Mr Cooper was in his office with his son. They were watching the new commercial that the Rainbow Airline made. After watching it, he switched off the TV.
"You can see how Raymond is rising to the top. How do we pass him? I'm sure he has a secret!" He yelled at his son.
"Father, we'll think of something" he said. Mr Cooper angrily threw the remote at Brian. It hit his head, making him bleed.
"Don't think! Act!" He yelled. Brian secretly rolled his eyes. How can one act without thinking?
"I need you to find his secret! Find out how he's growing so much. We must put an end to it!" He said, angrily.
"Yes father" Brian said. Mr Cooper took a napkin and walked to his son. He gently wiped the blood off his forehead.
"Don't let me down. I'm counting on you to take this company to the top!" He said and placed the napkin on his son's palm.
"Thank you father" he said and left. Just as he went outside, his sister sprung up from the waiting chair and followed him.
"Did father hit you again?" She asked.
"Shut up Kylie" he said, walking to the elevator.
"Of course, I'll shut up" she said and watched her brother push the button.
"Why are you here?" He asked.
"I need you to drive me to Rainbow hotel" she said, pouting her lips. Brian rolled his eyes.
"You're off to see that girl again. If father finds out that you're hanging out with his rival's daughter, he won't be happy"
"I'm his princess, he won't do anything bad" she pouted, flinging her hair to the back.
Brian rolled his eyes from his sister. The elevator suddenly dinged. He walked out with Kylie. They head to his car and drove off, off to the Rainbow hotel.
.
After some minutes, he got there. Kylie grabbed her bag.
"I'll have to tell dad to get you a driver since you're scared to drive yourself" he said.
"I already have one" she said.
"Who?" He asked.
"You" she said. Brian raised his hand and she laughed.
"Won't you say hi to my friend? I've been with her for five years and you haven't met her once" she said.
"I'm busy. I don't have time for women" he said.
"Whatever. I only pity the girl that will marry you. So grumpy" Kylie scoffed and alighted from the car. Brian wore his sunglasses and drove off.
.
.
Few minutes later, Kylie was in the room with Jasmine. She sat on the chair, sipping wine from her glass cup. Jasmine laid on the bed, staring at the beautiful ceiling. She can never get tired of coming here.
It was one of her father's hotel. The room at the top of the hotel, belongs to her. It was a VVIP suite, just for her.
"Why would your father want you to marry your childhood friend? Besides that, Fred is a typical playboy" Kylie said.
"I know right. They'll be here tomorrow. I'm just going to stay here till like... whenever. I'm so not going back home" Jasmine replied.
"I'll stay here with you" Kylie said, pouting. Jasmine smiled.
"You will?" She asked.
"What are friends for?" She asked.
Jasmine laughed. She swiftly sprung up from the bed and sat down.
"Why don't we go to the club?" Jasmine asked.
"You know I'll say yes. The one opposite this building is the best" she said. A cunning smile appeared on Jas face.
.
.
Hours later, Jasmine and Kylie found themselves in the club. They had fun, drinking and smoking. That was how Jasmine love to spend her time. She roamed about in the VIP lounge, dancing. She was even watching the strippers dancing downstairs.
A call entered Kylie's phone. She saw it was her brother. She answered it and started yelling.
Brian couldn't hear anything, except for the loud music and screams.
"Kylie?!" He yelled her name.
"Brian! You dumb boy!" She yelled back and giggled. He disconnected the call. The beeping sound was loud enough for Kylie to hear that her brother disconnected the call.
"Uh" she moaned and threw the phone on the chair.
"Kylie, come over here!" Jasmine yelled. She hurriedly ran to Jas. They stared at the couple's dancing and started laughing.
.
.
Minutes after midnight, Brian appeared at the club. He headed towards the VIP lounge but they almost didn't let him till he showed his identity.
He was allowed in. Immediately he got there, he saw his sister and Jasmine wasted on the couch. A sigh escaped his lips.
He left Jasmine and carried her sister up. She opened her eyes. The sight was blurry but she could tell it was her brother. She was still drunk as she spoke.
"Brian?" She called out his name.
"You'll keep quiet. I'm taking you home" he said.
"What about Jasmine? Who will take her back?" She asked.
Brian saw her. She looked like a ghost with her hair covering her face.
He sighed and gently kept Kylie back on the chair.
"You stay here, I'll be back" he said.
"Of course" she said, clapped her hands and stretched it to grab another bottle. Brian took it from her and pushed her with his finger. She fell back on the couch and fell asleep.
Brian tuned to Jasmine and carried her on his shoulder, walking out of the club.
He was grateful that he knew a little about her, thanks to Kylie. He got into the elevator and head up. He couldn't unlock the door. He had to steal the golden card from her purse and opened the door.
Immediately he walked pass the huge living room, the lights came up on his own. He carefully placed her on the bed and looked round the room. It was so beautiful.
"Now I see why Rainbow is always at the top" he said to himself.
"I want it"
He heard a voice behind him and shrieked. It was Kylie, she was sleep talking.
He walked back to her and took off her shoes. While he was about to cover her body, the telephone beside the bed rang. It was so loud that it can wake her up. He left the duvet and swiftly answered it.
"Greetings to our guest, the hotel will be having a little back up. Due to that, we may have to shut down everything in the hotel. The power will be restored soon" the voice said.
"Hey, no!" Brian yelled.
"I really need to..."
He couldn't complete his words, the lights went off.
"Fvck" he murmured and threw the telephone. He now regretted helping Jasmine. He thought to himself, if he had known, he would have left Jasmine there and took his sister.
He sat down on the bed and touched his forehead. He suddenly left a hand touching him, all over his body. He wanted to move but he thinks she's sleep walking again. he thinks she'll let go of him soon.
"Did I rent you for the night?" He immediately heard her voice. His eyes shot wide open. He now realize that she wasn't sleep walking or talking.
He wanted to stand up but her grip was tight. She didn't let go of him. He lost balance and fell on the bed.
"Hey, Jasmine? I need to leave immediately" he said in a serious tone.
"Shhh" Drunk Jasmine placed a finger on his lips.
"Don't say a word" she said and giggled.
Brian felt her leg crossing to the other side of his body. She lowered her body and her hair fell on his face. He got cold chills and shut his eyes.
"Take this off, will you?" She asked, taking the jacket off. Brian just wanted this touch for a long time but die to work and to impress his father, he didn't have time for ladies. He knew this was his free night. A chance for him to get what he was looking for. He has completely forgot that it was his sister's friend. He didn't even remember that he left his sister at the club.
She took off his jacket and shirt and started kissing his chest. He wanted to sit up but Jasmine didn't let him. She just pinned him down so he won't run away.
"It's okay. I'll pay you, no need to be scared" she said. Brian didn't expect the pleasure to be too much after the heat got intense. Skin against skin, the heat in the room made the night even naughtier.
It was one epic night that one of them will probably forget about.
.
.
The next morning, Jasmine woke up when she heard her ringing tone. She grabbed her hair and sat up. She had the most weirdest dream where she was on a yacht with a man. They looked happy together.
It was in the purse, lying on the floor. She took it and answered.
"Where are you? Mr Isaac family will be here soon!" She heard her mother's voice and sat up.
"Mom?! Argh! Is dad really going to let me marry him?" She asked.
"Of course, yes. You better hurry here. He's getting upset already" she said.
"I'll be there" she said and disconnected the call. She lowered her body, to pick her purse. She saw her panties and blinked repeatedly.
She slowly peep inside the duvet and saw she was naked.
"How did this happen?" She asked herself.
Immediately, she heard a soft snore behind her. She knew that Kylie do not snore. Gently, she turned her head and saw a handsome naked man on her bed. She gasped softly, staring at his fine face. It was the man in her dream. She shot her eyes wide open.
"Oh fvck! Why?! How?! Why?! How?!" She asked herself, swiftly wearing her clothes. She didn't even take care of her hair. She took her stuff and ran out of the hotel.
People thought she was crazy but she didn't care. She entered her car and started breathing hard.
"Who was that man?" She asked, panting.
A text from her brother entered her phone.
'The Isaac family will be here in two hours, where are you?'
She left her question unanswered and drove home.
