Reggie held her close, "Jasmine...I DO want you to be my girl." He pulled away to look at her in the face.  "I want to be with you, to help you understand this new world.  You will survive.  I'll make sure of it.  You're going to understand how things work, you're going to have a life here." He hugged her again.<br/><br/>He meant all of this.  He wanted her to be his, and he wanted to be hers.  He wanted to help her live here, with him. To get this world, to make a life for herself. He was so ready to have something close to him.  And she was probably ready to get out of that confinement that was laid upon her.<br/><br/>He wanted so desperately to help her, that before he knew it...he had laid his lips upon hers.
