Thread: A second chance (SithMistress and DeviantAngel)

Jasmine laughed lightly at the mention of her PR department doing a great job at hiding the hiring of her new position, in fact they did get a bonus for their job well done. They did indeed get a bonus for their work, it was their number one project since due to the old CFO we weren't exactly having any new business coming in. So the main focus was to overhaul the entire board. Jasmine had sat contently as she listened to Crystal talk about one of her dates, it was true that the two friends were horrible at setting people up. It was like they just saw someone single and figured it would be a match since one of the two girls were single. I haven't had to go as far as issuing a restraining order. It's like those two figure that the only thing two people need to have in common is that they're single. Personality doesn't matter at all or something. Jasmine shook her head while bringing the flute back up to her lips and sipping what was left of her champagne. I sure am. Jasmine responded to the question about being cancer free. I haven been cancer free for two years now. So it's still a fresh feeling not knowing if I was going to die or lose my breasts. But, I have learned to put that behind me and just be the best person I can be. You probably remember my attitude, it took a lot to put me down. I don't see the point in having a short temper or being annoyed so easily. Jasmine sat her empty glass down before laying her hands in her lap. It's true that going through such an experience does change a person, it makes you humble but also reminds you that life is amazingly short for something that's supposed to be substantially long. Jasmine sighs while turning her blue eyes to Crystals green eyes. It's funny to me how people think that they have utter control over their lives, they think they're going to live to be old and wrinkly. I've realized that life doesn't work like that, we have no control over our length of days. Sure an argument can be that if someone doesn't do drugs they will obviously live longer, but how do you know? Sure you don't do drugs but that drunk driver that just ran you over didn't know that. It's just a sobering experience and a feeling I hold onto. Jasmine broke eye contact for a moment before looking back towards her ex as she went on. Jasmine gave Crystal her full attention as she spoke about her luck with other women. That was something they did have in common, it was hard to find someone with the same social class and understand the demand to hold onto such a life. I'll be honest with you, I went back to giving men a chance, bisexual men since I have that little issue. I was upfront with them and everything about the situation and for the most part it was taken with an open mind. Unfortunately men are worse than women, it's not only the part about having a busy schedule but men are so insecure when it comes to a woman making more money than them. The relationships ended before they even began. Jasmine groaned at the momentary memories as she spoke of the men. Jasmine listened curiously about Crystals story about Texas, it was true that Texas works on a whole different field than the rest of the states. Interesting, I guess if any state was going to be different when it came to the court of law then it would be Texas. I think they just put in an express lane for death row inmates. Jasmine chuckled lightly at her own joke since Texas probably has the highest rate of death penalties. I haven't done any business in Texas yet, but thank for the heads up about watching who I talk to and give my number out to. When the wine bottle and glasses come the gentleman pours a couple glasses and leaves the bottle in a bucket of ice that was sitting in the middle of the table. I love the smell of a freshly poured wine. Jasmine let the bottle sit and breathe for a bit as she moved her attention back to Crystal. Through out the relationship that the two had there was one thing that Jasmine always did, she gave her full attention to Crystal when she spoke. When she began to speak about her luck with women it was a common trait the two had. I will be completely honest with you, I haven't had sex in a substantial amount of time. Years probably, which is why I keep such a busy schedule. It's just hard to find that one person you want to spend your free time with, and I'm not going to call up some random person for a fling. Jasmine kept listening and raised a brow when Crystal spoke of her exes and how they were in some way just like Jasmine. It was a surprise to say the least. A little funny, I think. Jasmine didn't quite know what to say as she swirled her wine glass between her fingers. I didn't think I could make such an impact on someones life in a way such as that. I just try to be respectful and courteous to my partner. I would like to feel that I treated you with respect and made time for you. It's easy for successes such as ourselves to get caught up in our work but we made time for each other. Whether it was bringing dinner to one another during a late night at work. I think it was all the small gestures that kept our relationship strong. Jasmine just left it there since she didn't want to bring up the conversation that ended the relationship. All we can really do is move on, what was and what could have been is in the past. I don't hold a grudge towards how our relationship ended, it was a very mature way to end a relationship and we went our own ways. So, with that, I want to make another toast. Jasmine picked up her glass and held it up. To the future, let it be filled with memories worth remembering and shared with those who you care about. Jasmine smiled sweetly at Crystal, locking her eyes on the emerald color of her exes.
