LILY’S POV♡
I groaned when I felt a weight on my breast making me uncomfortable. I was so tired and whatever that was on my chest was forcing me to wake up to remove it. Opening my eyes, Asher’s head on my breast came into view. I pushed his head off not too gently, making him stir awake and let out a cárse,
He squinted his eyes as they adjusted to the sunlight that was seeping through the curtains. He finally settled his eyes on my disheveled hair.
I rolled my eyes at him and let out a humph, then got off the bed aggressively, maybe even being a little dramatic. There is no way I would let Asher know that I’m still hurt by him kissing Shelly. Even though it was just one sided, I just couldn’t erase that horrible vision in my head. Even thinking about it made me nauseous.
I quickly tied my hair with the rubberband I had around my wrist. I was getting ready to leave the room when he stopped me by hugging my back to his chest and buried his head on my shoulder. I could hear his soft whimpers as I felt the tears roll down his eyes and land on my shoulder. My heart clenched as I felt his body shake from his silent tears. I turned around in his arms and couldn’t help but hug him closer. He pulled away and looked at me with red rimmed eyes.
“Please, don’t leave.” He whispered.
“I won’t.” I whispered. I couldn’t even if I tried.
“I’m sorry.” He muttered, his voice cracking.
“For what?” I asked, pretending like I didn’t have a clue why he was apologizing.
“For allowing Shelly to kiss me, I don’t know why I didn’t pull away faster. I was so shocked, I never expected her to do that especially as I told her-” He stopped and let me go to look at me. What the fuck did he tell her?
“Told her what?” I asked, my tone hardened as I glared at him. He shifted uncomfortably and made a sound of displeasure.
“Uh.. That I was in a committed relationship.” He finally answered, not daring to look at me as he backed away.
“YOU TOLD HER ABOUT US?!” I shouted, not recognizing my own anger in my voice.
“No, not about you exactly, I didn’t mention names. I just said that I was in love with someone and that I’m not interested in anyone else.” He said, he looked nervous as he avoided my eyes. He walked towards his bed and sat down at the edge with his head down.
“Why did you even tell her that?” I asked. What was he thinking? This girl is obsessed with him, God knows she would make it her mission to know who he was referring to. I walked towards him and stood between his legs. He finally looked up at me and hugged my thighs with a strong grip. I run my hands through his soft hair, earning a satisfied groan from him.
“Well, she was at one of the practices since she is a cheerleader. I didn’t know what to tell her, it was the only thing I could say to stop her advances on me.” He spoke, his voice muffled as he buried his head on my thigh.
I let out a soft sigh as I weighed the consequences of his words. What if she tells Asher’s parents? It’s not like she knows exactly who…
“It’s already over and done with, let’s just leave it like that.” I told him. He looked hopeful as he gave me puppy dog eyes, he knew I couldn’t resist.
“Does that mean you forgive me?” He mumbled.
“Of course I forgive you, Ashy!” I chuckled as I teased him. He squinted as he heard the name I called him.
“Baby, I love you, but you gotta stop calling me that.” He said and groaned.
“Did you just say you love me?” Lasked, flabbergasted.
He bit his lips as he cleared his throat “Yes, are you okay with it?”

“I am but…” I started saying but saw his face drop when I said ‘but. “I don’t think that you love me more than I love you.” I continued cheekily and watched as his face brightened as he heard those truthful words tumble out of my mouth. He pulled me on top of him as we both giggled in joy
“You love me?” He asked doubtfully.
“I always have.” I answered truthfully and looked at him like he was the only guy I have seen. I don’t think I have ever loved anyone as much as I loved Asher, well except for my mum.
He pulled me into a soft kiss and broke it to peck me all over my face. “Thank god, I couldn’t bear the thought of losing you.” He sighed.
“You are not going to lose me, Asher.” I told him, but didn’t know if those words were true. No one wants us to be together, sometimes I don’t know why we even bother fighting for our love when the world is against us, but if I have to spend the rest of my life with Asher, then fighting the world for him wouldn’t be a problem. Why am I thinking about the rest of my life with Asher when we just started dating? What will I do if he decides to just leave me one day for a model or worse – Shelly?
“What are you thinking about?” He asked, getting me out of my depressing thoughts.
“Nothing, just our future together.” I whispered as I traced his jawbone.
“Stop thinking about it.” He sighed.
I stopped and looked at him, astonished and in disbelief. “What do you mean, don’t you see a future with me?” I asked him, my voice sounding scratchy from trying not to cry.
“That’s not what I meant, it’s just that…” He started explaining but got cut off by a woman’s voice. His eyes widened in fright as he froze.
“ASHER!” She shouted in anger and forcefully opened his bedroom door, making it bang on the wall. We looked up at the woman standing in the doorway with a man behind her, seething from anger.
“Mom, dad!” Asher shockingly rushed out as we got off the bed. I stood further away from Asher and looked down to avoid the stares of his parents. I was so embarrassed to be caught by them in this position.
