"Love is a seed that sprouts when the right person is there. Ms. Taylor, you saved my life, and for that, I'm grateful to you. I'll pay for your medical bills, compensate you, and do anything for you as long as it's legal. But you must know that I can't give you the love you want.
"And don't do this again. You're above it. If you don't love yourself, no one is going to love you. I'll pretend that nothing happened tonight. We'll consul the doctor on Monday as planned. It's late now. I don't want to keep you up. I've paid for your stay, so rest well." Colin grabbedand left decisively. "Colin," Jasmine called out despondently.
He stopped but did not turn back. "Oh, I took the liberty to find you a female caretaker who will check on you 24/7. I think it's more convenient this way. You can callif there's a problem, but I hope I won't run into such a scenaever again." He then closed the door behind him. I couldn't hear Jasmine's sobbing as the door was in the way. I only caught snippets of "How could he do this?" and "This is so unfair." What fairness did she want? Love cwhen it came, and no one could decide who could claim it rightfully.

Did he sense the distrust and anger fromjust now? He sure was perceptive for a man. Besides, shouldn't I be the one mad at his inaction? Why was he mad? I broke free from Colin's hand and walked myself. I could get mad too, okay? I barely took two steps before he grabbed my right hand. My world spun, and I found myself in a warm embrace. "Why are you running? You didn't trustfirst." "You couldn't take your eyes off her. How can I trust you? Would you trustif I did the same?" I protested grumpily, almost shedding tears.
I wasn't that aggrieved. But for sreason, frustration filled my heart when I talked about it. Crying was the only way to convey my feelings. Colin y grinned He pulledinto his arms affectionately and patted my back as if he was coddling a child. "Look at you, makingfeel bad again. Don't cry. I wasn't staring at her because I was seduced. I was just in shock because I didn't know she would do that.
"When it comes to beauty, she doesn't hold a candle to you. You don't trustbecause you lack self-confidence." "All men are jerks." "No, I'm not. I'm your loyal boyfriend. I'll save myself for you." "For real?" "Yes."
Fine. I took out my mental note and added 50 flowers for Colin. He could continue being my probational bbyfriend. For his loyalty and bbyfriending my chastity, he was almost halfway there.
