What I Want and What I Feel

Ariana sees her reflection in the mirror. Indeed, her beauty is so perfect, and with this red dress, she is wearing now. Certainly, all men will immediately bend their knees to her. Of the men, Leonardo is the right and the most suitable man to walk side by side with her.

[ Is it true? Can Leon be mine?! Then, what about Jasmine? ] Ariana asks in her heart. She is standing between love and friendship; what will she choose?

"No!! Don't be crazy, Ariana! Leon's heart is only for Jasmine." Ariana shatters her dreams.

"What's the matter, Sweetheart?" Kyara asks; Ariana's strange impression is confusing her.

"No, Mom. I remember about something."

"What's that?"

"Not important, only my next photoshoot schedule after school tomorrow." Ariana smiles. She denies her feeling toward Leonardo.

"Okay, get some rest, Baby girl! Mommy has to prepare other things." Kyara kisses her daughter.

"Yes, Mom. Good night." Ariana receives a kiss from Kyara on the cheek.

The day past so quickly. Without realizing a week has passed, Leon and El still can't approach Jasmine at school because of the strict rules that Jasmine made for them.

Now at school, Jasmine is more often walking or chatting with Ariana, eating together, joking and laughing, talking and studying together.

Jasmine feels comfortable being friends with Ariana. Besides, Ariana never talks about her social status like other children. She is brilliant, and Jasmine often learns from her. So she doesn't miss out on the lesson target.

Like now, after school hours, Ariana is teaching Jasmine in the school library. Jasmine is weak at physics, and Ariana is very good at it.

"I'm looking for a book first." Jasmine gets up from her seat.

"Okay." Ariana returns to her book, doing her homework.

Jasmine walks over to the rows of metal shelves filled with textbooks. There are so many books, and they are so complete. Libraries at elite schools are indeed different. Each year, graduating students donate knowledge books. No wonder the books in this library are full.

At noon, The library is empty because most students prefer to go home rather than repeat today's lesson. Jasmine and Ariana like quiet places because they can concentrate more when discussing or doing their homework.

While walking on the far end of the shelf, someone grabs Jasmine's wrist and covers her mouth with a palm hand.

"Ah... em!" Jasmine tries to scream, but the hand suppresses her mouth.

"Shh... if you do not scream, I'll let you go."

"Laapael? (Raphael?)" It turns out the mangy dog is the kidnapper.

"Promise me. You'll shut up, won't you?" El asks.

"Hmm." Jasmine nods. Slowly El releases his palm.

"Aaa... hemp!!" Jasmine screams, and El stuffs her mouth again.

"You said you didn't want to scream?! Didn't you just scream??" El grumbles in excitement with Jasmine's wishy-washy act.

"No, eh! his him I Hanhi! (No! This time I promise not to scream!)." Jasmine answers, her voice sounds like gargling water.

Finally, El releases his palm from her lips, and Jasmine immediately takes a deep breath as much as she can.

"You want to kill me, huh?" Jasmine is gasping for air.

"Huh?? How is that possible?!" El loves Jasmine now. Why does he want to do it?

"So, why use kidnapping and silence people's mouth carelessly?!" Jasmine's hand is on her hip.

"Shhh... keep your volume down! Your voice is like a broken radio, Bae!" El interrupts, afraid that Leon will wander around Jasmine too.

"Why the hell you're here, El?? I already told you, if you guys approach me within a radius of 5 meters, I'll leave the school." Jasmine threatens Raphael.

"Well, don't do it!! After all, it isn't school time anymore! So, It's okay, don't you?" Raphael is looking for excuses, and he swears he misses to death with this wildflower. Especially her fierce but cute and sweet figure.

Since knowing Jasmine and falling in love with her, Raphael broke up with all his one-dozen girlfriends. He can no longer enjoy his beautiful sex with several women because the image of Jasmine's face always appears in his mind when he does it. There is a feeling of guilt haunting him. A sense that never can be satisfied except with Jasmine.

"What do you want to talk about with me? Get to the point! I'll give you 1 minute!" Jasmine glances at her watch, starting to count down.

"What, just a minute?!"

"56 seconds."

"Jasmine!"

"50 seconds!"

"Okay... okay! Here! I want to give you this." Raphael opens Jasmine's palm and puts a ring on it.

"What's this?"

"Ring."

"Sorry, I don't want this ring! I'm Leon's girlfriend!" Jasmine refuses firmly and gives it back.

"I don't care! Take it." Raphael takes Jasmine's hand and forces the ring on her index finger. The ring is too big for Jasmine's ring finger. On the surface, there is an engraving of the Durontea family symbol -in the form of a wolf's head. (Durontea means everlasting, some people believe that werewolf is an eternal creature)

"No, El!" Jasmine tries to pull her hand away, but El holds her tightly.

"The function is the same as Leon's earrings. If you don't want to, use it as a necklace pendant. So wherever you go, we can meet." Raphael strokes the back of Jasmine's hand.

"Is your brain swaying, El? Are you drunk with too many girls' milkshakes? Or have you hit a power pole when you go to school?" Jasmine pulls her hand, about to take off Raphael's ring.

"Tsk, don't act like you don't understand what I want and what I feel!" El presses Jasmine's body against the bookshelf. His arms are holding on to the sap of the shelf, preventing Jasmine back from leaving him.

"El!! Don't be like that! I'm screaming if you stand still!" Jasmine threatens

"Scream. Who cares?!" Raphael, who can't hold his feeling anymore, brings his face closer. Jasmine tries to dodge, she keeps step to back away and moving away until she finally sticks to another bookshelf. Jasmine's eyes blink a few times before finally going wide. El seriously wants to kiss her.

When El's wet lips touch hers, Jasmine immediately crouches down. Only friction can not count a kiss, right?! Raphael immediately follows Jasmine to crouch. His right-hand lifts Jasmine's beautiful face to look at him. His forefinger moves Jasmine's chin up.

"Keep the ring carefully, Jasmine! Otherwise, I'll kiss your lips for real!" Raphael kisses Jasmine's forehead and then walks away from her. Leaving Jasmine sitting limp.

[What was that?!] Jasmine's face turns red. It feels so hot. Her heart is no less pounding, like when Leon confessed his love to her first. Damn, so dangerous!!
