Serenity turned over and gave Jasmine a light pinch. “Alright, I’ll sleep. I’m not flipping pancakes.”
Jasmine hugged her and offered comforting words. “You’re basically an elderly couple now. Mr. York loves you a lot. It’s just a miscommunication. It’ll be over before you know it. Relax and go to bed. You’re able to face another day once you get a good night’s sleep.”
“I’m so lucky to have you, Jasmine. At least I have someone to talk to when I don’t feel good.”
“Duh, we go way back. I come to you when I’m feeling down too. Come on. Let’s sleep. Don’t torture yourself with all those thoughts.”
“Okay,” Serenity answered.
Her best friend’s assurance soothed Serenity to dreamland.
It was dark and quiet all around by the time Zachary arrived at the Soxes’ residence. Everybody was deep in slumberland.
He pulled up at the gate of Jasmine’s family home.
Zachary parked the car and gave Serenity another call.
Since Serenity was asleep, and her phone was on silent mode, she did not take his call.
As a last resort, Zachary braved himself to call Jasmine.
Awakened by the ringing phone, Jasmine accepted the call without looking at the caller ID.
“Who is it? Don’t you have a heart? Why are you calling in the middle of the night? I need my beauty sleep even if you don’t. It’s a sin to wake people up.”
Zachary murmured, “Ms. Sox, it’s me…”
“Who are you? You… Oh, Mr. York?”
Zachary answered in a husky voice, “Yeah, that’s me.”
Jasmine tilted her head to glance at her best friend who was beside her. Seeing that her best friend was in deep sleep, Jasmine gently got up and tiptoed to the window. She pulled the curtains open a little to look down. As expected, she saw Zachary’s car at the gate.
“Why aren’t you in bed at this hour? What’s the meaning of calling me in the middle of the night?”
“I’m at the gate of your house.”
“Oh.”
“Ms. Sox, is Seren asleep? Can you call her out? I’ll take her home.”
