Chapter 44

July 9th

Grayson- 3 months

Asher's POV

"I need a nap" Papa groans as Herb pulls the door open for us. I had spent the week at work with my parents, I didn't really do anything, but I always enjoyed going to work with them.

I got to try out some new things, met some interesting people that I was too scared to talk to, but Dad and Papa had some weird conversations with them. I just like spending time with them, so it's all worth it.

"Did you have fun?" Dad asks wrapping an arm around my shoulder. "Of course I did, but Papa you should warn me when you want to sleep in my bed, you scared the crap out of me" I laugh at my half asleep parent, who still wanted to be sleeping.

Papa and Dad shared a room in the back and then I had my room right next to theirs, last night though which isn't a surprised Papa joined me at like 3 am for cuddles. It was nice after I realized I wasn't going to get murdered.

"You back!!!!" An energetic toddler shouts running down the hall and crashing into my leg. "Hello EJ" I smile picking him up. He grabs my shirt hugging onto me for dear life.

"You're back" Em walks out behind him, but instead of sounding excited, she just kept raising her eyebrows up and down. "Atlas missed you" she teases making me go red.

"Where is he?" I ask not taking my eyes off the toddler still clinging to me. "In his room, I doubt he knows you're here" she answers walking over to me. "Hey? Emerson, can Asher go say hi to Atlas?" She asks him. The toddler sits up and looks at her a frown present on his face.

"We go say to Atlas- it okie" he smiles. "I'm fine with-". She quickly objects "EJ weren't you hungry?" The toddler quickly starts wiggling around and I set him down.  "I sowwy Ashy, I go. Be-because my tummy says so" he rambles out the most adorable apology ever.

"It's okay we can play later" I reassure him. Not even 10 seconds later he's running to the kitchen. I turn to my parents to see their reaction to Atlas and I going to hang out, no surprise they are passed out on the couch.

I giggle waving back to Em. Speed-walking down the hall just wanting to get to Atlas's room before getting stopped by others. Opening the door I chuckle "I swear, do you even leave your room?"

I spotted Atlas on the floor, his wand up like he was practicing. He quickly drops it jumping to his feet. "You're back!" He cheers pulling me into a hug. "I missed you too" I whisper before being pulled into a kiss. "I've been thinking" he whispers pulling away.

"What?" I ask, he takes my hand leading me to the bed. I hop on sitting crisscross and he sits next to me his hand still holding mine. "I want to do something... new, before you panic, it's not... that".

"What's that? Ohh..." my face goes red from realization. "What d-did you want to do?" I curse myself for stuttering.  "Just tell me when to stop..." he mumbles his hand going to my cheek.

My face is probably the reddest it's ever been. What did he mean new, maybe I'm too boring for him, or maybe he just wants to take the next step but is the next step big? Why is my heart racing so fast. Also how horny has he been!? Immediately thinking of this when he sees me.

A set of lips quickly press against mine being taken away just as fast. "You're overthinking, my love" he whispers and I nod looking back up to him. I initiated the kiss showing him that I was okay with what was going on.
