Possession over Power

The Work and The Fire

Asher did nothing but plop onto her bed, "Finally we're back, if only the ride wasn't an extra 3 hours". He grabbed his head and groaned as Andrea replied with a chuckle. "You hate planes, and there was a massive storm outside. It's still going on" Andrea opened her dusty blinds to see rain pouring, leaves being tossed around, and lightning striking every couple of minutes. "Besides that what time is it, I feel vanished" Asher sat up on her bed, wearing the same gray sweatpants and sweatshirt.

"7:36, we barely ate any meals, shall I order something for delivery?" Andrea asked with her phone in her hand. BOOM "Holy crap!" Asher yelled and Andrea looked back in shock, "It's lightning, I'm going to order from Fire Hut, tell me what you want".

"Give me the phone, haven't bought anything from there in awhile" Andrea raised her eyebrow but concluded her suspicions. "My order is already there, just give it back so I can pay" she spoke as she closed the door and her steps faded away. Asher placed in his order and walked out the door then.

"Thanks" Andrea looked at the order, "Did you delete the order?". "No" Asher grinned as he sat down next to her, "I just may've paid for it myself".

"Why would you do that?" Andrea asked as he laid into her lap, "No reason, can I not treat you every now and then". "I'm only saying that I could've paid for it, muggle money is no problem for me now" Andrea brushed her fingers through his hair, "That's why I said I wanted to 'treat you' ". Andrea rolled her eyes and leaned back onto the couch; her head facing the ceiling. "I could care less, just don't waste it all".

A show was now playing on the T.V. until a knock at the door rang in their ears. "I'll get it" Asher took his head off of her lap and walked to the front door. "Order from Fire Hut, the name for this order was... Andrea Farm?"

From the distance Asher could hear her groan, "Yes, that's me". Despite everyone knowing her last name they knew she despised it. Even her friends didn't know till this day why it bothered her to this extent. "Thank you" Asher quickly spoke as he shut the door, "Don't worry about it, let's just enjoy some food".

He grabbed two plates and put one next to Andrea, "Worry about what?" Andrea asked. "Yourself, you always overthink, maybe relax and don't worry about your surname so much" Asher rubbed her legs. Andrea stopped for a minute, however, then moved his hand away, "I don't care about my last name, and I don't overthink. Maybe you have the wrong gal".

Andrea then gave Asher his own food, while grabbing her own. "Are you sure?" Asher questioned her once more as he received a glare, "I'm fine".

"Ok then, I'll believe you for now" Andrea glared at him once more before finally eating, "I can handle myself". Asher swallowed his food before speaking again, "I know you can, but never be afraid to ask for help, or even a talk".

"I know dude, tell me countlessly" Andrea turned on a show, "I'm making you watch this" Asher chuckled, "I liked the show".

Beep beep beep, Andrea's alarm blared off at 7 in the morning. She sat up sluggishly and didn't care to put on her glasses. She turned to her side but noticed she was the only one in bed, where did Asher end up? Andrea knew they slept on separate sides, even with their own blankets so they wouldn't feel awkward.

Andrea only put her hair into a ponytail and brushed her teeth. Her contacts were already placed in first thing as she walked out to the main area. "Hello there" Asher sipped his water. "Holy f- fudge" Andrea clenched her hands into a fist, "Why are you up?".

"Couldn't sleep, but I could care less. Usually happens the first day we get back" he shrugged his shoulders. "Well, next time wake me up. I have pills for when I had insomnia, and they work for anyone" Andrea said.
