Chapter Nine:
A soft trilling sound filled the otherwise silent room. A hand wiggled itself out of a large red blanket, and swatted at the alarm clock. Missing several times, before hitting the correct button, shutting off the alarm.
The form under the blanket moved around before, falling, gracefully off of the bed. Jasmine groaned and pulled the comforter of the bed and on to the floor. She pulled it over her head, and tried to fall back asleep. And finish the dream she was having. In the dream she was in a small hotel room in Colorado. She was laying on the bed, waiting for someone. She had this dream rarely. She loved this dream. But today she woke up before the person she was waiting for got there. So she really, really wanted to finish the dream. This dream was actually a memory, a very happy memory. And this particular memory was very, very, precious to her.
There was a soft knock on the door.
"What?" Jasmine whined.
"Its Carter. I just got a call from Alison, she wants to meet us at GD." Carter informed her. Jasmine scrambled to her feet, and all but ran to the door.
"She does?" Jasmine asked eagerly, throwing the door open. Right now if you were asked to descibe Jasmine, kid in a candy store, would come to mind.
"Yeah" Carter replied smirking. "Get ready, we're leaving in half-an-hour." Carter told her, before turning and going downstairs.
Jasmine closed her bedroom door, and walked over to the closet. She riffled through the closet, until she found the perfect outfit.
Jasmine went across the hall and took a quick shower, and blow dried her hair. She but a bathrobe on, that Sarah had provided for her. And she went back to her room, and put on the outfit she had picked out earlier. A tan shirtsleeve top with an open back, but she covered that up with a black J. Crew cardigan. Being in an isolated area for most of her life definitely didn't affect her sense of style. She finished the outfit off with black dress pants, and black satin ballet flats.
She skipped happily down the stairs. Slipping on the last one, and falling on her butt.
"Note to self. Do not skip on stairs." She said grabbing the railing and pulling herself up. "Ready to go" She called out.
"Okay, let's go" Carter said walking out of the kitchen and toward the door.
Another awkward car ride:
Carter parked his Jeep outside, and we walked inside. People were hurrying in and out of GD. They all had things to do, new inventions to make, and deadlines to meet. And Jasmine hoped she'd be joining them soon.
Jasmine and Carter walked into Allison awesome glass office, and sat down in the black leather armchairs in front of her desk. Allison walked in a few minutes later, carrying a manilla envelope, stuffed with papers.
"Jasmine, would you come with me?" She asked, but it sounded more like an order. Jasmine cautiously stood up and followed Allison out of the door next to her office. She had know idea of what to expect on the other side. But what she did see, definitely wasn't on her top ten guesses.
Sorry that's its so short, but I'm starting to run out of idea's. If you have any don't be afraid to share. RR
