Maggy and Hazel #5

"But... New York..." Leo frowned. His mind was a mess, he wasn't thinking at all.

Jas jumped slightly as she felt a hand on her shoulder. She glanced up to Tom, "Who's this Charlie?" He asked, using her middle name. "Tom, meet Leo. Leo, meet Tom" Jasmine introduced them to eachother. "And Tom is the reason I'm in New York. He dragged me here"

Leo looked at the man next to Jasmine and he immediately didn't like him."And? How is NYC?"

"Big" Jasmine noticed, quickly studying Leo's face. "Though it is amazing" She added.

Leo bit the inside of his lip ligjtly. She was back. His best friend is here. He wanted to hug her, tell her how much he's missed her, but not with audience."You get used to it."

Jasmine nodded, "So you left England for Broadway, how is that going?" She asked.

"Um, pretty good, yeah. Been in some big shows. Interestimg life", Leo shrugged.

"Which shows?" Jasmine asked curiously, she had missed him, a lot, so she was determined to find out what he had been doing.

"(cool musicals like hair chicago and grease)", Leo said."I don't much singimg but that's fine by me."

"you've been doing pretty well then" Jasmine noticed with a nod "I expected no less. But you should try singing, you have a good enough voice for it"

"It's sing-songy, not quality. But I try", Leo smiled lightly

"Good" Jasmine smiled back, "Should we continue chatting over a cuppa? It'll be easier than in the middle of an icerink" She noticed.

"Yeah. Good ol' British ways. My place?"Leo asked. He just wanted to be alone with her.

"Sure" Jasmine smiled, she glanced over at Tom, "I'll see you later" She said.

"See ya", Leo said skating back to the giggly duo.

(Skip?)

(yeah)

Leo waited for Jasmine.

Jasmine knocked on the door of the address Leo had told her.

Leo opened the door."Hey."

"Hi" Jasmine said, smiling at him.

When the door was closed, Leo wrapped his arms around her."I'm sorry I left, I missed you like crazy."

Jasmine wrapped her arms around him as well. "You're a bastard for leaving"She mumbled.

"I panicked", Leo whispered into her hair.

"Please don't panic again" Jasmine replied, resting her chin on his shoulder.

"Never. Can't deal with that again. Is it just me or have you gotten shorter?" he asked letting go of her.
