bad at love~asher adams

im sorry asher

Alexa's Pov
I wake up to the sunlight hitting my face through the crack in the curtains. I squint my eyes shut as I begin to open them fully. I try to move but something is stopping me. I look down at my waist and see a muscular arm draped over it. I follow the arm and see Asher behind me. Spooning me in his sleep.

That's when I remember what happened last night. The kiss. The make out. The expressed feelings. The Truth.

I slowly peel Asher's arm off of my body and crawl out of bed. I slowly walk into the bathroom, hoping not to wake him and I go over to the sink. I drown my face with water as I wash my face and brush my teeth. I walk in and see Asher still asleep and I leave the bedroom and go downstairs into the kitchen.

I walk into the living room and see my assignment and striped box on the coffee table still. I sit down and sigh as I think about yesterday.

I don't regret what happened, I don't think I do. I just kind of wish it didn't happen at all. Don't get me wrong I think I am in love with Asher but...I can't be with him. I know that he won't hurt me and I would never try to hurt him, but what if something happens and we build this whole relationship only for it to come crashing back down on us.

How do I tell Asher that we should just stay friends?

I stand up from the couch and walk into the kitchen and put on the coffee machine. I don't even realise Asher walking into the room until I feel him behind me. He wraps his arms around my waist and he lays his head on my shoulder.

"Morning Lex." he says placing a kiss on my neck.

"Morning Ash." I say trying not to come off as seeming uncomfortable, trust me I like this but I can't necessarily DO this.

"You okay? You seem tense." Asher says as he moves to stand next to me.

I sigh.

"What time are we moving in?" I ask him.

He pulls his phone out of his hoodie pocket.

"Round about 11.00am and its 10.15."he says.

"Well best get packing." I say and quickly rush out of the room leaving a confused Asher behind.

I go into my room and start to pack up my things but I keep the keys to the cars. I pack my stuff into each car so that one by one we can drive each of the cars to Asher's house since they have a double garage there and a big driveway. Asher comes into the garage with his stuff and puts it all in his car.

"You ready?" he asks and I nod.

He drives off in his car and then I drive off in the Jeep and pull up outside his house a few minutes later. Asher and I walk inside the house and his Dad instantly comes and pulls Asher into a hug and apologising repeatedly. Asher hugs him back and then his Dad comes and hugs me too.

"Thank you." he whispers to me as he grabs a box out of my hands.

His Dad helps us unpack both our cars and then Asher and I walk back to my house and get the other two cars with my things in. When we pull up outside of Asher's house he gets out of the car and smiles at me.

"Why are you smiling?" I ask.

"I love this car." he says patting the side.

I smile at him as we start to carry some more boxes inside. By the time we've finished it's 3pm so we decide to go to the cafe and meet Jordan and Olivia.

"Hey guys." we say as we walk up to the table they're at.

"Hi Alexa, Asher." they say as they hug us.
