My celebrity crush

Chapter 9: I'm not good enough!

Chapter 10: I'm not good enough!

I'm currently being dragged off like I weigh nothing at all which is an insult to all my years of doing nothing but eat and sit on a couch. I try to fight back but these guys are as hard as steel and won't budge even when I get my leg to kick them in the thigh.

I scream and shout as they are about to put me into a police car but it's of no use . It's not like a superhero will come and save me. This isn't spiderman.

"Put her down." A familiar voice says. I spoke too soon, this might be my movie after all. They let me go immediately the person gives the command. I run away from the horrible people and go to the person who saved me.

"My hero." I say hugging him tightly with my eyes shut.

I look up at him and to my surprise , Edward is standing in front of me . I let go immediately and get a sense of relief.

"You really are my hero." I say and hug him again. How on earth is he everywhere I go? Whenever I'm in trouble. He's like my guardian angel , that's what I'll call him from now on.

"How much does she owe you for the taxi?" He asks and takes out some money. "Will this be enough?" He hands the money to the taxi driver . The driver nods and drives away while the cops go back to their positions.

"How did you know I was in trouble?" I ask still not able to believe I was saved from my possible death.

"Today is your lucky day , Asher wants to see you." He says and my jaw drops . Did I just hear him right or am I dreaming? Who wants to see who now?

"Wha- what?" I stammer.

"Follow me." He says and walks to the back of the building so I follow behind. Then he stops and looks at my wrist. "Lie detector?" He asks , I smirk and so does he . "Give it here." He tells me so I remove it and hand it to him. He opens it up and does something to it and it instantly stops ringing.

"How'd you do that?" I ask . He shrugs  then tosses it back to me and continues walking forward.

"Go in here , I'll be over there if you need me." He says pointing to a restaurant a few metres away. I nod , take a few deep breaths and go in . This is the moment I've been waiting for.

"He-hello." I say as I go in slowly. I don't see anyone so I continue going further.

"So you're Crystal?" I hear someone say from behind me which gives me a fright that makes me fall to the ground.

"Ash- A-A-Asher" , I stammer and the next thing I know , it's all black. Am I dead? Please tell me this wasn't a dream.

"Go back to your dream , go back to your dream ." I try to hypnotize myself.

"Are you okay?" A voice says and I'm assured It wasn't a dream .

I slowly open my eyes and find myself staring right into Asher's small, dark brown eyes . I always knew this day would come but didn't know it would come this soon.

"What happened?" I ask once I realize I'm not in the same position I was in a minute ago. I'm on a couch and Asher is sat on a chair right next to me.

"You passed out. Are you really okay? Have you eaten yet?" He asks , concerned. This is definitely not the reaction I pictured .

My imagination definitely thought it would be more of , "Security , get this ugly beast out of here." Not , "So you're Crystal" or "have you eaten?"

I stare in silence as my lips shake nervously and my brain goes blank. What on earth is happening? Why is he so close?

"Want to have lunch with me?" He asks.
