Asher’s hands grip my hips and my hands grip his hair. His lips feel deliciously blissful and I feel as though I could do this former. That is, if oxygen wasn’t a necessity. We break apart, and he rests his forehead on mine, our breaths mingling together. The sound of movement downstairs spring us into action.
“Seth!” I whisper shout, in full on panic-mode. “You have to get out of here!” I push him towards the balcony.
“How the fuck-”
“Just climb down, there is a tree right there. I do it all the time.” I tell him, pushing him out the door. I half close the door before opening it again. “Oh, and you should roll your motorcycle down the street a little before starting it, you know, so Seth doesn’t hear it.” Asher looks at me in shock, like he can’t believe I am making him do this. I half close the door, before opening it again. I stick my head out and give him a quick kiss on the lips. “I’ll make it up to you,” I promise him with a wink. He smiles and descends down the tree, tiptoeing to the driveway. I leave the door open to let the cool breeze into my room, and go downstairs to check on Seth.
“Seth?” I call. He limps out from the living room.
“I hope that man I just paid was the contractor.” He calls back, his face contorting in a look of pain as he stands.
“What happened to you?” I rush to him and he leans on me for support.
“I don’t know.” He winces.
“What do you mean you don’t know?”
“I don’t remember.” I lead him back to the couch and he slowly sits back down. “Did you fix me up?” He asks. I nod.
“When I got home, I found you on the couch unconscious and all beaten up. You scared the crap out of me.” I get him a few ice packs from the kitchen. “You don’t remember anything?”
“No, nothing.” I can tell he is lying, by the way he avoids looking at me and his uninjured leg bounces up and down, but I don’t say anything. “Can you help me upstairs?” He asks, standing up and hopping over to me.
“Clare cooked some dinner, it’s in the kitchen.” I tell him as we exit the living room.
