Color Me Blind (A Divine Love Story Book 1) by Melinda Michelle Page B

I’m the best friend of the son. We’ve been as thick as thieves since we were ankle biters, much to the chagrin of Frank.  Oh, and I adore his mother.” 
    Dr. Williams laughed. 
    “Oh, so much is starting to make sense now.” 
    She gave him a quizzical look, “Like what?” 
    “Well, now I understand why the redhead kept cutting her eyes when the son mentioned you.” 
    “Amber was cutting her eyes about me?  I can’t imagine why. Blake and I are just friends.  She knows that. They’ve been together for quite a while now.  She’s met my boyfriend.  You must have misread the situation.”
    Dr. Williams looked at her like she was insane .  How can someone seemingly so intelligent be having such a stupid moment?  He opted to leave it there and get back to the kidney. 
    “Ms. Monroe.” 
    “Call me Jasmine please.” 
    “Ok ay Jasmine, I just want you to understand what it is you’re doing.  This is a major medical procedure, not to mention the emotional aspects involved.  I know this ultimately isn’t my business, but why are you doing this?” 
    She mumbled, “Because God has a sick sense of humor.” 
    “Come again?” 
    “Look, I don’t expect you to understand this but trust me when I say I know that I will be a match for him.  Even though his life isn’t important to me, it is important to someone who I care very deeply about.  This is the right thing to do.  I’m young, I’m healthy and I will be okay.  If I don’t help him, Frank won’t be.” 
    Dr. Williams had seen a lot of things in the two decades that he had practiced medicine.  But this one definitely ranked high on the list of the strange ones. They scheduled an appointment for her to come the next day to take all the tests.  He told her it would be two weeks to get the results.  Then they could schedule the surgery if she was a match. 
    She got up to leave when he said, “Just one last thing.” 
    “What’s that?” 
    “What makes you think he will accept your kidney?” 
    She smirked, “Oh he will accept it because after his initial temper tantrum his pride and vanity will win ou t. He’s too mean to die.  I’m sure he knows even the Grimm Reaper doesn’t want him.” 
    With that she walked out and prepared to face her arch nemesis.
    She walked back by the nurse’s station to give herself another moment.  She had been here for almost an hour.  She knew Blake was going to come and look for her soon.  She so was not in the mood for Frank and his antics today.  As a matter of fact she figured she would be more likely to give him her kidney if she could just not see him until the surgery.  This time the nurse’s station was full with nurses busying themselves.  She was searching for Nurse Ashley when she felt a tap on her shoulder from behind.  Jasmine smiled as she turned to see Nurse Ashley. 
    “Hey, did you get all your questions answered?” 
    “Yeah I did.  I’m going to be tested tomorrow and I’m trying to get my mind right to go in his room.” 
    Nurse Ashley laughed, “Well blue-eyes came out here asking about you.  I told him you had to handle something that came up but said you would be back any minute now.” 
    “Okay thanks.  How long ago was that?” 
    “About fifteen minutes ago.” 
    “I hate lying to him and I’m sorry you had to but…” 
    “But this is something you had to do because you don’t want any hopes to get up until you know for sure.  I understand, and I didn’t lie. Something did come up.” 
    Jasmine smiled, “You know what? I like you.  I hope you like me because I may need an ally when I go down in the trenches.” 
    Nurse Ashley laughed and waved as Jasmine headed to Frank’s room.
    Jasmine stood at the door and took a deep breath before she entered.  She knocked lightly and then opened the door.  When she stepped in she saw Frank.  He looked so frail and sad.  She felt the pity in her belly begin to stir for him.  Blake
