|Sujk|
I was surprised me talking to her went better than expected, because I was expecting another hot beverage to be burned on my face but I'm glad she allowed me to take her to a more comfortable environment. We both walked down the road back to my house, when we got halfway there Jasmine was too fatigue to continue on, I took the chance to carry her, thankfully she allowed me too. She had her arms around my neck as I carried her all the way up the stairs and gently laid her in the bed, she fell right asleep when I did so. The only thing I did was place a blanket over her and left her to sleep peacefully.
I went on to my own room and sat on the edge of my bed, I opened the drawer of my nightstand and took out a small photo album, I'll admit, I can't really remember the last time I looked at this album again, I opened it and saw the first photo of a 10 year old me and my mother. It was a little faded but I could still make out the picture.
Why did I allow father to treat you the way he did…You were such an amazing woman and I allowed a terrible man play you for a fool.
I gritted my teeth as I remembered that terrible night. That night father came home reeking in alcohol along with another woman not giving a care at all at mother's reaction.
I can remember mother gasping at the sight, "How dare you bring another woman in our home!" I remember mother saying.
Father scoffed at her, "I can do whatever the hell I want bitch,"
"But we're married!" mother wailed with tears.
"You were just some arranged bitch my parents made me marry; now get the hell out of my face so I can fuck my new temporary woman,"
Mother gasped and ran out the house crying, I can remember seeing father lead his mistress into the bedroom. I can remember just standing there paralyzed in confusion and hurt tried to run outside to try to catch up with mother but that was the last time I remember ever seeing her again.
I would ask father about mother as I grew up but he would always respond with either, "Who?" or, "I don't care" or "I'm just glad the bitch is gone,"
A tear drop fell onto the photo, that night she ran away I couldn't find her; I didn't make enough effort to make her stay. And I allowed myself to be taught and raised to become like my father's ways. I failed as her son; she would be disappointed if she were to see me now.
I rubbed my thumb over her face, "Forgive me mother…" I said softly, "you didn't deserve to be treated that way…"
I finally decided to lie down and drifted off to sleep with the photo still in hand.

I woke up in the familiar bed, I stretched and let out a loud yawn, I'll admit, I had a very nice sleep. I looked over to place my phone on the charger; I had to wait a few minutes since it was dead dry. When the screen lit up I had about a hundred missed calls and texts from Katt.
Aw crap! She's probably worried sick.
I quickly called her back, she answered on the first ring.
"Where are you?!" she yelled.
"I'm sorry, my phone had died on me, but I'm ok, I'm….still at Sujk's house actually."
Kat got quiet for a second, "Wait, why? Arent you pissed at him?"
"Yeah, I was.. but I sort of had no choice since I had no way to get home," I told her, I also went on and explained to her how Sujk made a complete 360 on me and apologized for his behaviors.
"Wow, so I don't need to break in some guys car to save you?"
I gave a light chuckle, "No, no… let's just say I'm not in any danger right now,"
"okayyyy, well if anything happens you know what to do!"
After I hung the phone up a knock came to my door, "Com in,"
An older man with an apron on walked in with a tray, must have been one of the cooks, "Good morning Miss Bronston, Master Sujk had me bring you up a nice breakfast and soup to help with your cold," he explained as he set up the dinner tray across my lap. I couldn't help but smile, I've always wanted to have a Bed & Breakfast experience. Maybe Sujk is coming around after all…
"Also, he told me to give you this," the cook said handing me a small note. One he left I opened the note that read, 'Good morning Jasmine, I hope this wasn't a bother to you, I just figured you'd be hungry after that rest you had. I'm sure you were very tired last night. Anyway, I hope you are feeling a little better. –Sujk' I couldn't help but smile again, that had to been the cutest thing he's done. And if this was his handwriting it was beautiful, I've never seen perfect cursive lettering.
I looked down at my breakfast; I had pancakes, sausages, hash browns, and scrambled eggs and egg drop soup off to the side. It all looked so delicious I didn't know where to start. I began eating my food and it was freaking amazing, whoever cooked this I had to thank them personally. When I was almost done eating I herd another knock come to me door, "Come in," I yelled.
The door opened slowly and Sujk stood at the doorway, "Uh..Morning," he said.
"Morning,"
"I take it you got my note,"
I smiled, "Heh, Yeah I did. This was. Pretty sweet of you,"
"Well I'm glad, if you still want a ride home I can do that for you..."
I looked down then I looked back up at him, "On second thought, I think I'll just stay here. If that's fine with you,"
Sujk raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Oh.. well I have no problem with that,," he shuffled his feet a bit as he put his hands in his pockets, "I'm glad to honest, because I also wanted to ask you out to dinner later on and…talk,"
"Yeah…I would like that," I said with a warm smile.
"Glad to know," he continued to stand in the doorway.
"You know you're allowed to come in," I said with a grin.
He stepped a little further while rubbing the back of his neck, unsure of what to do "I just..don't want you to feel uncomfortable,"
"Well, I appreciate what you're doing now Sujk, it's pretty adorable in a way,"
He sat next me on the bed and looked at my tray, "I take it the food was pretty good?" he grinned.
"Yes, defiantly, I like apologies like this, but just know. I'm a girl that can sometimes forgive but never forgets,"
"Understood, well I'll give you some space and I'll come back around when it time to go to dinner, deal?"
"Deal,"
