Holly Knows Best (Patreon)

Chapter 01

Jasmin sat on her couch watching TV, she tried to get into the show she was watching but she couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened and what might happen in the very near future. She sighed deeply as she turned the TV off and shook her head “Why hasn’t she come to see me? Why won't she get this over with? I can’t stand this waiting, it’s been two days and after the screaming and shouting she gave me when it happened I haven’t heard a thing from her, what is going on?” she wondered as she stood up. The 20-year-old let out a sigh as she walked towards the full length mirror that sat between the front door and the large window, she picked up her brush and began to brush her long dark hair, she half smiled at herself as she looked at her slim dark skinned body, she was still wearing her pajamas even though it was past midday, her blue shorts and matching top showed off her womanly body. Jasmin looked through the window at the main house “What is mother planning? She said I would get punished for what I did but this can’t be it, being forced to stay in my off house apartment. I mean I have everything I need here, a bedroom, kitchen, living room and a shower. The only thing it doesn’t have is a bath, even after I begged her for one when mother had this built for me for my eighteenth birthday. Mother said it was an added expense that wasn’t needed which is true with the spa outside beside the pool and the two baths in the house but I still wanted one” she said as she placed the brush back down. Jasmin turned around and looked at her apartment and let out a groan “I’m so bored, I want to get out of here but she was furious with me and told me to stay in here until she called for me and I was so close to being cut off and thrown out. I can't let her do that, I have to know where to go and no money of my own. I’ve never worked and I don’t plan on working, not when mother has all the money I need” she smiled as she walked back to the sofa. Jasmin sat back down and looked up at the ceiling and frowned “Doesn’t she go away for work today? Yes!” she smiled and sat up “Awesome, she goes off to work and I get free roam of the house for the next month, I love it when she goes away. I have friends coming over this weekend for a little party, it's so good I have the party and then the cleaners come in and clean it all up before mum gets back. When I get back to the house I need to get onto the PC and order a new phone and a new laptop, I can’t believe they both got smashed up in the crash but I will just have to get new ones and I can organize drinks and everything for this weekend” she thought with a satisfied sigh.

A cracking static noise ran through the apartment which caused Jasmin to panic, she knew what it meant as her mother's voice came through the intercom “Jasmin come to the house now!” she said firmly. Jasmin swallowed as she stood up “I hate that intercom, I never wanted it, it's just a way for her to keep an eye on me” she thought with a sigh as she walked to the front door. She opened the door and felt the cool air touch her skin, she looked down at her slim legs and frowned “Should I get dressed first? She did say now though, oh whatever this will do” she said to herself as she walked up the path towards the house. Jasmin looked at the large one story house as she approached, it had five bedrooms, two living rooms, three bathrooms and a large kitchen in the center of the house. The front bedroom was her mother's with its en suite bathroom complete with bath, and the back bedrooms were for guests, usually Jasmin’s Aunt Holly or her cousin Allie and her baby would stay over for holidays but they hadn’t been over for a while. Jasmin entered the house through the back door and she could hear movement coming from the front of the house, nervously she walked towards the noise “Right she has shouted at me and threatened to cut me off, it’s been two days and she is going away maybe she has cooled down” she hoped. She stood in the large entrance room to the house, Jasmin has always thought that an entrance room was always snobby, nobody she knew had a room for only entering and exiting the house. Three suitcases were pilled up beside the front door while Jasmin heard movement coming from her mother's bedroom beside the entrance room, Jasmin’s heart was racing “Everything will be fine” she said to herself when her mother left her room.

The slim mature woman stared at her daughter with a frown, she had short black hair and she was wearing a fashionable business suit with black high heel shoes, she shook her head as she walked towards her suitcases “Right I will be back in four weeks, I’m sure we will have a lot to talk about when I get back, until then you be good for a change” she said with a snort. Jasmin sighed with relief “I’m off the hook? Well for now anyway, I can wait a month” she thought with a slight smile when she heard someone walk up behind her. She turned to see her Aunt Holly looking down at her with discontent, her aunt was a tall, large woman, she had long dark hair that was tied back into a ponytail. She was wearing blue denim jeans and a baggy black shirt, a massive contrast to her younger sister. Jasmin turned back to her mother as she opened the front door and took hold of her suitcases “Holly’s here to babysit you for the next month” she said before Jasmin had a chance to speak. Jasmin’s eyes widened “What I don’t need a babysitter I’m 19!” she shouted but her mother didn’t respond as her driver took the suitcases from her, she turned to her sister and sighed “Do what you must” she said and looked at her daughter one last time and half smiled before turning and leaving the house closing the door behind her. Jasmin’s heart was racing once again as she stood beside her aunt “Babysitter? I’ve never had a babysitter before, why is she doing this? I can be trusted with the house for a month. Oh great well there goes my plans for the next month, I’m going to have to cancel that party, Holly will not let anything like that happen” she sighed as her aunt walked into the house. Jasmin turned and shook her head “Allie always told me that she was strict when growing up, she was never allowed to have parties or boys around. I guess that didn’t help as she now has a baby and isn’t married but I hope she doesn’t think she can do that to me, this is still my house, she is the guest. Whatever I will just stay in my apartment for the time”. Jasmin walked back through the house towards the back door “Jasmin come here!” she heard her Aunt bellow from the back living room. Jasmin sighed “Well I better get this over with and then I can spend the rest of the time hiding from her” she thought.

She walked into the living room and found her Aunt sitting on the sofa, she gestured for Jasmin to sit down “I’m fine” she said, Holly shook her head “I insist” she said coldly. Jasmin rolled her eyes “Fine” she said as she walked over to the sofa and sat down. Holly took a deep breath “Your mother has decided that I will be looking after you for the next month, she had told me everything you have been doing and you sound like a young child acting out so I will be treating you like a child until you can prove that you are a mature woman” she said flatly. Jasmin gave a nervous laugh “Yeah sure, if you need me I will be in my apartment” she said with a sigh. Holly shook her head “The groundskeeper has locked your apartment, you will be staying in the house so I can keep an eye on you”. Jasmin’s eyes widened “What! You can’t!” she shouted, Holly smiled “I can, you will be staying in the spare room for the next month and maybe longer, depends how you behave for me, now as I see you’re still in your pajamas so I will have to give you a bath and get you ready for the rest of the day” she said with a smile.
