Run Away

Step 3

I got dressed. You see..Asher and I were close. So I had clothes here. We would hang out till 3 in the morning and there was no way I was going home at 3 in the morning. He would sleep on the couch and I would sleep in his bed. I would always wake up to breakfast. He was sweet like that.

I grabbed my clothes for the day and walked into the bathroom. My hair was a mess. The curls were falling out of my messy bun. My makeup was all over my face from crying. I smelled. I was the definition of ew.

I turned the nozzle to the warm water side of the shower. I striped and hope in. Letting my hair flow down my back. And the warm water hit my body.
I heard a knock on the door.
I wasn't about to get out. Hell no. I still had conditioner in my hair.

"Come in!" I yelled over the noise of the rushing water.

Asher walked in.
"I brought you a towel. You walked in without one. Just saying" he said while laughing.

I shut off the shower and reached my hand out, past the shower curtain to grab the towel.
He handed it to me. I wrapped the towel around me and put my hair up with the scrunchy on my wrist.

I stepped out and ugh god.
He had jeans on, but no shirt. I could see his tan body...his muscles...his abs. Ugh what the hell Asher?

I denied eye contact with him. There was no way I was looking at him. No no no.

I brushed my teeth and straighten my bangs. Then just left the rest of my curly dark brown hair down. I scooted last him with my clothes in my hand and made my way to his room. And got dressed. I put the finishing touch...which was my beanie.

I walked out. And finally he had a shirt on. A black shirt with the words VANS written in blue letters. He had a beanie on. Ugh why did he have to look so cute?!
What the fuck Asher?

He looked at me and smiled and embraced me in a yearning, warm hug.
I embraced him back.
He was warm and sweet and loving and caring but I can not be with him. I have Ben...and god...he just Ben. He's great. He's amazing. Ben is my world. And I have no room for another.

I sat on the counter in his kitchen and watched him make us sandwiches. He said he was going to take me somewhere. And he said that I needed to eat first.
He gave me my sandwich. And scooted me out of the house. I didn't have my money or phone or anything. But I guess that what happens when Asher's on a time schedule.
I climbed Into the passenger side of his car. And he climbed into the driver side.

He started up the car. And backed out of his driveway.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"You'll find out. Just chill...it'll all be fine, ok? No worries." He replied.

No worries? Really? When I don't know where your taking me so there will obviously be worries.

He turned up the radio and turned on my favorite station. The song playing was Bomfire by Knife Party.
We both looked at each other with excitement and started singing along.

We jammed out...till I knew where we were going. The salty air smell took me back. He was taking me to the beach. Blue skies, salty air, blue water, waves, sand...mmm I loved all of it.

The beach was my place. I loved it. I grew up near the beach. I was born in Daytona, Florida for god sake. The beach was my home...it was comforting. I loved the beach.

We park near the pier and I quickly got out if the car squealing with excitement.
I jump on Asher and he picked me up and held up.

"Your the best man!" I screamed. And I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

He smiled. And put my down. He grabbed a bag out of the trunk and pulled out bathing suits.

"So I packed towels and extra clothes and stuff. I wanted to you have a fun day...since you've been stressed and all" he said with that big beautiful smile on his face.

I smiled and took the bathing suit from his hand and when to the girls bathroom to change

Minutes later I came out of the bathroom and he was in his swim trunks. He looked so cute dude. Sooooo cute. It was frustrating how cute he was.

He picked me up and gave me a piggy back ride to the beach. I was so excited the I jumped off of him and ran into the water. God I love the beach.
He walked towards me.

"Thank you Asher....I love this."

"I love you."

He leaned in and kissed me slowly...but softly like I was his girl.
