Livia *very slow updates*

Chapter 17

When Ash first met Livia he was mesmerized by her looks pro. He thought she was just gonna be another pretty girl he saw once, and never see again.

But when Livia came a second time he thought, 'Aren't I just super lucky today.' When he saw Livia for the 3rd time he surprise. And she she came again, and again, and again. She became a regular.

Gradually as he continued to see her, he would try and make small talk with her. This led to them becoming 'store friends' of that is a thing.

Just by observing Livia, he could tell what her personality was like.

Kind, quiet, smart.

She was the introvert with a dash of extrovert. The late evenings over early morning, or late nights. The shy at first, but crazy when you've known her for a while.

She was the girl of his dreams.

—————————

That night before he went to sleep, he sat on his couch after his shower and stared at the ceiling. He had so many thoughts running through his mind.

Well.. many thoughts about Livia, but still, those are thoughts.

He sat there for a good 5 minutes before realizing that he was zoned out. He quickly got up, and grabbed his phone on the coffee table. He then walked towards his room.

Before he entered his room, he slowly grabbed the door knob, before stopping.

"Oh my gosh." He said under his breath.

"I'm so down bad for her." His legs started to feel tingly.

He quickly opened his bedroom door and shut it, before running to his bed.

"Damn it, Asher. Don't get too attached." He smacked his forehead, causing his head to fall back and hit his pillow.

He slowly turned his head to the right side of his bed. His imagination had pictured Livia lying right next to him.

"Ahhhh!" He flipped around to scream in his pillow.

"Asher calm the fuck down!" He said to himself.

Ash quickly too some deep breaths, the he turned around again and laid back down on his back.

Go to sleep you idiot, and try not to dream of your beautiful, mesmerizing, breath-taking Livia.

His eyes started close and he blew one last sigh before dozing off.

And dreaming of Livia ;)

The next morning Asher woke up feeling energized. He felt the great morning energy smack him in the face.

He got out of bed and went to the bathroom to get ready.

After spending 10 minutes getting read he exited the bathroom and went back to his room to get dressed.

He walked towards his closet and picked out what he would wear for the rest of the day, not including the night time.

He settled for a brown oversized sweater and khaki cargo pants, with some black and white converse.

When he exited his room, he walked towards his kitchen and grabbed an energy drink from his fridge, before getting his keys and leaving his apartment.

Ash quickly got to his car and drove off to work.

When he got to work he quickly examined his store before opening it up.

He grabbed his phone to check the time.

9:07am

"Should I check on Livia?" He said to himself.

He was zoned out for a good minute before hearing the bell of his store door.

He set his phone down.

"Good morning and welcome." He plastered a smile to the person.

"Oh it's you!" He said before leaving the cash register.

"It's me!" Livia said as she walked towards him.

"I was just about to text you a 'good morning'." Asher said to Livia still smiling.

"Oh really?" Livia grinned.

"We'll good morning to you Mr. Asher." She greeted him.

"Good morning Ms. Livia." He greeted her (again).

"So what time do you have to be at work today?" He asked Livia.

"9:30, but it's not to far away from here, so i'll probably leave in like 10 minutes unless you need time to leave right now?" Livia said to Asher, to reassure herself.

"No- no you could stay here for as long as you like." He said before he quickly jolted.

"Did I just say that out loud?!" His face turned red in embarrassment.

Livia laughed under her breath.

"Yeah, you did." She laughed again.

"Oh my god I'm so embarrassed!" He said before turning around.

Livia grabbed his shoulder and turned him back around, but accidentally turned him around too close to her face.

Now she was the one turning red.

She quickly backed away.

"Sorry, I was to close to you." She said now feeling embarrassed.

"It's fin.." He was cut off from the bell on the door.

"Good morning, and welcome!" Asher said to the guest.

"Livia." The man replied.
