They made their way back home with Jasmine giggling as Liam cracked some random jokes.
Tonight feels so special. it made her realize she's got the perfect people surrounding her. She could see her mom in Mrs Nolan. How happy she was.
They stopped abruptly as they got to the living room. Jasmine glanced at Liam then right back at the figure in front of them.
It looked like a teenage girl in her 18's. She was backing them and a glass of juice was in her hands as she sipped from it.
"Pink?" Liam suddenly called.
The pink girl turned having a huge smile on her face. She was grinning widely as her eyes settled particularly on Liam.
"Liam?" She called running to Liam and hugging him, not without putting the juice away.
Jasmine just stood, watching the whole scene. Who's she?, She couldn't help but ask herself.
"What are you doing here pink? You didn't tell me you were coming!" Liam said, pulling away from the hug.
"Really Liam?, It's summer break already at Spain. Besides, aren't I allowed to come spend sometime with you?" Pink asked.
"You are... But you didn't let me know you were coming. Obviously, I wasn't expecting to see you" Liam said.
"I wanted to surprise you Liam. Now I feel like you don't want me here!" Pink winced.
"Don't get me wrong pink!, when did you arrive?" Liam asked.
"An hour ago, I think!" She said and Liam nodded.
"So!... Heard about your wedding Liam.." Pink said moving her gaze to the confused Jasmine.
All this while, Jasmine felt like she no longer existed. And the Pink girl,,, didn't even bother sparing her a glance.
"Uhm! Pink, this is Jasmine... She's my wife"
For a second, Jasmine thought pink had passed her a glare but it was quickly swapped with a smile.
"Sweetheart... this is..." Liam wanted to say but Pink cut him off.
"Let me introduce myself Liam" Pink offered then turned to Jasmine. She had that overly sweet smile.
"I'm Natalie Raymond but I preferred being called Pink because it's suits my nature. Just be clear, I'm the sister to Liam's Ex girlfriend... I'm sure you must have heard about her" Pink said.
"Oh! Good to have you hear Natalie" Jasmine said.
"Pink... just call me Pink" She said.
Jasmine simply be nodded.
"Why don't you go upstairs,, you must be tired" Liam said.
"Sure, but only if you piggy back me... You know, like you always does" Pink said.
"But..."
"I'm sure Jasmine wouldn't mind... Right Jasmine?" She asked.
"Uh... uh.. sure, I don't mind. Go keep her company baby!" Jasmine said.
From the side view, Jasmine could see Pink mentally roll her eyes. Or Maybe she was mistaken.
"Great.. C'mon Liam. I have a lot to tell you" Pink said.
"Okay fine.. let's go!" Liam said.
"Piggy back first?"
"Like I have a choice.." Liam said and Pink quickly hopped behind him, then jumped on him.
Jasmine watched as Liam carried Pink away. She shrugged and headed to the kitchen. She picked up a glass of water and gulped down. She walked upstairs to her room. She could hear laughter coming from the room opposite her's. Guess that's where pink would be staying.
Going into the room, she went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. She sat on the bed.. she's gonna wait for Liam so they could go to sleep together.

"...I'm telling you Liam.. The girls were so jealous of me" Pink said as she placed the last clothes into the wardrobe.
"You won the beauty pageant?" .
"Of course! That makes me the queen of the entire school. And that makes the other girls jealous because I've gat the fame they wanted".
"That's what you've always wanted, right?"
"Of course Liam. Only I deserve the fame... and only I deserve to be the queen" She said dreamily.
"You're just a teenager pink... Don't get so carried away by fame"
"Yeah... yeah. Just let me enjoy this fame while I still have it. I need to be the talk of the whole school next session" Pink said.
Liam shook his head... There's no need talking to pink.. it's useless.
"So, tell me Liam, When did you two become lovers? I mean, you and Jasmine?" Pink asked as she crossed her feet, waiting for Liam's reply.
"Well, as long as I can remember. it just happened so fast!" Liam simply said.
"You had to get married to her? I mean, are you both in love with each other or you were being pressured. As far as I know, Liam... You didn't want to fall in love after the death of my sister" Pink said, sounding serious.
"I know.. but live isn't something you could possibly avoid. I'm in love with Jasmine and that's what matters the most" Liam said.
Pink twisted her lips... then shrugged.
"Okay then!" She simply said.
"It's getting late pink, you should get some sleep" Liam said standing up.
"But it's still early..." pink winced.
"I insist pink,, You came from Spain and you shouldn't be awake by this time. Get some sleep now!" Liam ordered.
"Oh! alright... " Pink said laying down.
Liam turned to leave but Pink stopped him.
"You didn't tell me good night!".
"Tsk! Good night pink!" Liam said.
"And a good night kiss?" She asked.
"You aren't a kid anymore pink... Go on and sleep" He said walking out before she could stop him again.

Jasmine felt herself begin laid properly on the bed... "Baby!" She muttered softly.
"I'm here sweetheart,, Sorry I kept you waiting" He apologized.
"Hmm!" Jasmine hummed.
Liam laid beside her then placed her head on his chest, wrapping his hands around her.
"Sorry I didn't tell you about pink.."
"It's nothing baby!.."
"Pink normally comes to Singapore Every summer break. I didn't expect to see her.." Liam said.
"Hmm! So she's your Ex's sister?" Jasmine asked.
"Yeah! Funny how we both kinda developed the close bond... Pink was dejected when she lost her sister. I somehow felt guilty, so I decided to fill in that space and be that person she could lean on. She got used to me after then" Liam explained.
"That's so thoughtful of you Liam.. to think about the feeling of others" Jasmine said.
"Let's go to sleep sweetheart!.." Liam said placing a kiss on her forehead as they both drifted off to sleep.

The next morning....
Both Liam and Jasmine walked down the stairs.
"Hi Liam!" Pink's lively voice echoed in the living room.
"Hey pink... You're up early" Liam said. His eyes srutinizing her entire body and he notices she's all dressed up.
"Going somewhere?" He asked.
"Well yeah! I wanted to go with you to the company"
"No Pink, you aren't coming along!"
"But why?" She winced.
"There's a nothing fun going to the office... Just stay back. Besides, Jasmine's here to keep you company!" Liam said.
Pink glanced at Jasmine then back at Liam.
"But I wanna come with you!" She winced again.
"Liam's right Pink. We can have a little discussion yunno... A girl to girl talk"Jasmine said.
"But..."
"Pink..." Liam called in a warning tone.
"Fine!" Pink mumbled... Folding her hands, she slumped down on the sofa. Picking up her headphone, she placed it on her ear.
"I'll leave now sweetheart!" Liam said placing a kiss on her lips, before walking out.
Now,, it's just Pink and Jasmine... Jasmine puffed out some air, thinking of what to say next.
"Uhm! Pink, What do you think we should do to spice up the atmosphere?" Jasmine asked.
"Nothing!" Pink simply said, vibing to the music she was listening to.
"Why don't we talk about you. You know, your fun days at school..." Jasmine Suggest. She noticed pink acting a bit cold towards her, or maybe she isn't used to her yet.
"Thanks but No! I can only talk about my school stuff with Liam" Pink said, then removed the headphone.
"Since you're so persistent, why don't we talk about my Late sister... Liam's Ex" Pink said.

Nolan's Empire!!
"Mr Orson, I believe you ought to have apologized for your earlier act of theft" Liam said.
He was having a meeting with the board members. They're all Seated in the conference room.
"Mr Orson....." He called when he got no response.
"An apology, I shall not render. Little boy... You should speak with respect" Mr Orson thundered.
The other board members were seated quietly, watching the whole scene. They believed Liam could handle the situation very well and whatever decision he takes would be in their favour.
"Respect? I see...." Liam snickered.. "For over a month Mr Orson, Nolan's Empire had waited to receive your letter of apology but we got non. Seems like you have no remorse for trying to steal Liam's Tech.. My product,, the company's product" Liam said.
"I'd rather leave than apologize to you, little boy!"
"Then so be it Mr Orson... The door is right behind you. I can ask the security to accompany you out"
Mr Orson glared at Liam... "I can see myself out!"
"Good, now please do so. Nolan's Empire doesn't accommodate un-repented thieves" Liam said. Mr Orson angrily stood up then head towards the door.
"Mr Orson!..." Liam called making him stop.
"This is your loss!" He simply said.
Mr Orson glared at him then stormed out.
Liam turned to the rest of the board members.
"I hope this serves as a warning to all... Liam's Tech is meant to provide the best mobile services to both the small and large areas of Singapore. Anyone who really wishes to stealmy idea would be at the loosers end"
"Gentlemen, Shall we proceed with the main business of today?" He asked the board members who nodded their heads in agreement mumbling a yes!
Liam signal to Merry to distribute some files to them.
"In there, is a brief design of a new mobile service which would be produced alongside Liam's Tech...." He started.
•••
Liam got to his office after adjourning the meeting. He rubbed his forehead tiredly. He's been working too hard lately. Maybe it's high time he puts Stephen in charge of some duties... And maybe Adam too. He should try considering that. It would help relieve him a bit.
"Come in!" He said when a knock came through.
Merry walked in with a banquet of flowers. They were pink roses...
"Uhm sir, Someone delivered this" Merry said.
Liam furrowed his brows as he stared at the flowers. Could it be Jasmine?. He could see a card attached to it.
"Let me have the card" He said stretching out his hands be and Merry handed it to him.
He opened the card and met with a short letter.
"I love you so much Liam.. So very much.." He reads. "From a secret admirer"
With a loud scoff, He handed the card back to Merry.
"Get rid of that. Henceforth, do not receive any gift or packages except it's a business package or a package sent by my wife" He said sternly.
"Yes sir!" Merry said taking the flowers away.
He wonders who could have sent him those. What effontery? He knows Jasmine wouldn't have sent him those... besides, he hasn't told her pink roses where his favorite.
Besides, he wasn't ready to accept gifts from any secret admirer.. when it's not from he's Jasmine.
His wrist watch beeped, jolting him out of his thoughts. It was time for another meeting with an investor. He stood up, grabbed his keys and walked out of his office.
"I won't be coming back to the office Merry, make sure you lock up before going home" Liam said as he stopped at Merry's desk.
"Okay sir!" With that he walked out heading to the venue of the meeting.
