"Whoa! Are you wearing Stu's shirt?" Andrew asked, seeing Jasmine descend the stairs behind Eve.
Stuart looked up from his plate and couldn't help but smile to himself upon seeing Jasmine in his shirt.
"Seems like something must have happened on the walk back here." Randy said
Jasmine rolled her eyes at Randy and took the wet clothes from Eve, "I'll bring it to Sam."
Before Eve could say anything, Jasmine picked the clothes out of Eve's hands and walked down to the basement where the washing machine and Samantha was. Upon hearing the stairs creak, Samantha turned around and smiled.
"Wow… Stu's shirt looks good on you." Samantha said
"Not you too…" Jasmine said
"What happened?" Samantha asked
"Randy just openly teased me upstairs." Jasmine replied
Samantha laughed and took the wet clothes from Jasmine as she put it into the washing machine.
"You do know Randy is just happy something happened between you two." Samantha said
"Nothing happened between the two of us! He just lent me his shirt. That's all." Jasmine said
"I'll bet. Look… Stu is a nice guy despite his unfavorable personality at times. And, I can tell he likes you. Very much." Samantha said
Jasmine sat on top of the dryer, that wasn't in use and sighed, "Well… I am starting to like him too."
Samantha stopped what she was doing and turned to Jasmine with a huge smile on her face.
"That's great! I'm so happy for you!" Samantha said, "You two would make a great couple."
Jasmine was about to say something else but ended up sneezing again.
"Are you okay? I think you caught a cold due to the rain." Samantha said
"Nah… I'm fine." Jasmine said
"No, you're not. Wait here. I'll go get you a cup of hot tea." Samantha said
Before Jasmine could refuse, Samantha headed up the stairs towards the kitchen to make Jasmine a cup of hot tea. Not long after, Jasmine heard footsteps coming down the stairs and she looked up, surprised to see Stuart.
"Stu?" Jasmine said
"Yup, it's me." Stuart said
He walked over to her and noticed that her nose had gotten a little red, due to the sneezing.
"Are you okay? You seem to be having a cold." Stuart said
"Yeah. I'm fine. Just maybe getting chills from the rain earlier." Jasmine said
"Come on. I'll take you home." Stuart said
"That's okay… I can still manage." Jasmine said
Stuart shook his head, "I'm not taking 'no' for an answer. Come on."
Since she had already admitted to herself that she likes him, she couldn't help but agree to his thoughtful gesture. She nodded and he smiled as he helped her off the dryer. The two of them walked up the stairs, back to the living room where everyone was.
"Randy, I'm going to take Jasmine home. She's getting a cold and I think she should go home and rest." Stuart said
Randy looked at Jasmine, "You do look a little under the weather. You should head home."
"Fine, fine. I'm getting chased out by the host. I'll go." Jasmine said, "Eve, are you coming?"
"Yup! I'll be in the car behind you two." Eve said
Jasmine looked into the kitchen, "Sam! You don't have to make the tea already. I'm heading home first."
Samantha stopped what she was doing and walked out to join Randy's side.
"That would be a better plan. Rest well then." Samantha said
Jasmine nodded and hugged Samantha before bidding good-bye to everyone else.
"See ya, kiddo!" Hunter said
Jasmine nodded and waved at him before walking out behind Stuart with Eve. When they were outside, Eve headed to her car while Jasmine followed after Stuart, getting into his car when he opened the door for her. Within minutes, they were on their way to Jasmine's house. Feeling tired, Jasmine couldn't help but give in to her eyelids as they closed.
