"Alright class! That's it for today!"
"Thank you, Miss Jasmine!"

Jasmine smiled at her toddler kendo class as she waved good-bye to them. Although Jasmine is a skilled kendo master, with many medals and very qualified to teach an adult class, she prefers teaching a group of toddlers. They are much easier to handle then a huge group of adults.

"Jasmine!"
"Yes, boss!"

Hunter Levesque was Jasmine's boss. He is a rather large guy, being a pro-wrestler, before he went into the kendo business. He's a really nice guy and Jasmine absolutely adores him like another dad.

He looked at Jasmine and laughed, "Don't you have a birthday party to attend?"

"Oh, right! Gotta go, boss! I'll see you tomorrow!" Jasmine said

Hunter nodded as he waved good-bye to Jasmine, who dashed out the door with her Baggu duck bag, hung on her shoulder. As soon as she was out the door of the kendo center, Jasmine took out her iPhone and called her best friend, Eve, who ran a kick-boxing studio.

"Hello?"
"Hey Eve!"
"*laughs* Yes, Jas… How can I help you?"
"It's almost time for Alanna's birthday party! Are you done?"
"Oh gosh! I nearly forgot! I haven't got any classes so I'll pack up."
"Great! I'll come over then! See ya!"

Jasmine ended the call and hurried over to Eve's kick-boxing studio, 10 blocks down.

"Hey, girl!" Jasmine said, as she put her arm around Eve's shoulder
"Give me a few minutes. I need to pack up." Eve said
"Yes, ma'am!" Jasmine said, as she sat at the reception.

As soon as Eve finished packing, the two of them locked up and headed over to the amusement park at the boardwalk for Alanna's birthday party.

"Hey bro!" Jasmine said, walking up to a rather huge guy, carrying a little girl.
"Hey Randy!" Eve said, walking behind Jasmine.

Randy turned around with the little girl in his arms as soon as he heard the girls' voices.

"Hey, Jas! Hey, Eve! Thanks for coming!" Randy said
"Are you kidding? I won't miss anything in the world for my little Alanna's birthday!" Jasmine replied, tickling Alanna.
"And, you won't want Aunt Doris to come after you." Randy said
"Yeah. That part's true too." Jasmine said

Randy laughed and messed Jasmine's hair with his other free hand. Randy had been Jasmine's god-brother ever since she was born so the two were practically like real siblings. Since her parents moved to Hawaii after Jasmine started working in Florida, Randy took on the task of ensuring that she was taken care of, as a promise to her parents. Even though he had gotten married and had a daughter, he still adhered to his promise.

"Anyway, here's Alanna's present from the both of us." Jasmine said, passing Randy a paper bag.
"You guys didn't have to get her anything… As long as you two came, it's enough for her." Randy said
"Nah… We won't want her to remember the two aunts that didn't give her anything on her 2nd birthday." Jasmine said

Randy chuckled and shook his head as he put the paper bag next to the other presents Alanna has.

"So, are all the little kids having fun?" Eve asked
"Yeah. Samantha's over there trying to handle them." Randy replied
"I'll go help." Eve said
"And I'll go get Eve the milkshake she wanted." Jasmine said
"Yes, thank you!" Eve said, walking over to Randy's wife, Samantha.

Jasmine looked at Randy, "So, did you invite your supposedly annoying worker?"

Randy sighed, "I didn't have a choice, right?"

Just then, Matthew walked over, holding a plate of food.

"Woo, woo, woo. Bro boss, this birthday party is sick!" Matthew said
"Good. I'm glad think so." Randy said

Matthew noticed Jasmine standing there and smiled.

"Hey Jas, how are you doing?" Matthew asked
"I'm good." Jasmine replied
"Where's Eve? Do you two have plans for tonight? Wanna go fist-pump with me at a club?" Matthew asked
"Uh, thanks for the offer but… We've already got plans." Jasmine replied
"No sweat. We can do it another time." Matthew said, before walking away and fist-pumping to Justin Bieber's 'Baby', which was playing through the megaphones.

Randy and Jasmine both laughed before she remembered about Eve's milkshake.

"Okay, I'll be right back. Gonna go grab Eve's milkshake." Jasmine said

Randy nodded and walked over to Eve and Samantha just as Jasmine left for the milkshake counter, near the ferris wheel area. She ordered two cups and paid for it and as she turned to walk away, she collided into someone; causing her cup to smash into the guy's chest, causing a huge stain to appear on his light blue dress shirt.

"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry!" Jasmine said, quickly grabbing a tissue pack from her duck bag.

"What the bloody hell?"

The guy who was dressed in what looks like an expensive outfit with the tailored shirt and pants plus the leather shoes which Jasmine can only assumed came from Gucci or Prada, glared at her.

"I'm very, very sorry! I should have seen you coming! Here!" Jasmine said, holding out the tissue pack to the guy.
"You think your tissue pack is going to clean up the stain you made on my shirt?" The guy said, with his English accent, heavily coating every word.

Annoyed that this guy was getting to be quite a prick, Jasmine couldn't contain her rising anger, as she stuffed her tissue pack back into her duck bag.

"Look dude. I already apologized to you. It wasn't an intentional act of mine to spill milkshake onto you. I wanted to offer to pay for the dry-cleaning of your shirt but since you are such a gentleman, I'm just going to walk away." Jasmine said

She glared at the British guy before she tossed the remaining contents of her cup onto his shirt. Satisfied with the stain growing much bigger on his shirt, she threw the cup into the bin next to the store. The British guy looked at her with an astonished look but she merely smirked before walking away leaving him a little pissed but very amused and impressed.

As soon as Jasmine walked away, 2 huge guys ran up to the British guy.

"Sir, do you want me to go after that girl?"
"No, it's okay, Mason."
"Stuart, sir, are you sure?"
"Yes, Ezekiel. Let's go."

Mason and Ezekiel, nodded and led the way back to the car. As they walked, Stuart couldn't help but replay the scene in his head. That girl was different from the other girls he ever met. Usually when girls accidentally bump into him, he would have some sort of control over the situation. But this time, he had none of that. In Jasmine's case, she seemed totally unfazed by him. Stuart had a photographic memory so remembering Jasmine wasn't going to be difficult for him. He took one last look at where they were previously and caught sight of Jasmine's green duck bag further down. He smirked and unbutton the top of his shirt before getting into the car.
