Paramore Series: The White Dragon (COMPLETED)

Talk (2)

Lux

I sat down, placed my bag down and glanced into his eyes. I saw so much shame there that I felt embarrassed. 'Sweetheart.' He sighed and his voice cracked. 'I'm so sorry...' he grabbed my hand, kissed it and placed his head down in defeat. He could barely look at me.

'I just don't... understand it-' I had already lost all my control, tears falling down now. 'Why would you...-'

He saw me crying and he flinched like that did him so much more pain. He placed his head in his hands again and shook his head.

The waiter came up to our table, saw the state we were in and turned on his heel. 'Come back later...' he added quickly.

'I never should have done that.' He whispered. Still not looking at me.

'No you....it's not that. Thing. It's afterwards.' I stumbled.

He glanced up. Eyes wet. I had never seen him like this. My unalterable titan.

I hesitated but continued. 'We did... nothing wrong. The place was kinda dodgy... and the timing was... questionable. But...-' I took a deep breath. 'You ignored me all week!' I angrily hissed at him. 'How do you think that made me feel? Like a two cent hooker, Asher!'.

There I said it. Now it was his turn.

'Wait.... You aren't angry about the bathroom sex?'

I rolled my eyes.

'No of course not, I wanted it stupid. As if you couldn't tell.'

The waiter came back. I snapped at the dude: 'two burgers, no pickles for him. A side of French fries and a coke.'

He shuffled away and I angrily crossed my arms and waited for his next words.

He had a small smile on his face now.

'I thought... you wanted nothing to do with me after...'

'After you left me there all alone and didn't look at me the next day. Well yeah I did.'

He sat back and glanced at me, slightly amused now.

'It was kind of kinky though, you must admit.'

I rolled my eyes again.

'Don't roll those eyes at me sweet cheeks.'

'We are not good, it's no time for nicknames.'

He grabbed my hand and squeezed. 'Sebastian I can handle. That gangbanger I could see why. But my twin brother? I'm so jealous I could have strangled my own brother last night.'

I smacked his hand away and sighed. 'Wait what?'

'You and Oak?' he added like I was stupid.

'He's my friend, Ash!'

'Like I was your friend?'

'No... not like you.' I said. But was not sure I meant that.

'I think you're lying.'

'Well both of you are walking liar detectors these days apparently.' I snapped.

'I knew it!' he laughed. 'You like him.'

'Doesn't matter. He would never.'

'I always thought so but now I'm not so sure anymore.'

'You are jealous?' I added, flabbergasted.

He laughed. 'Can't even think about it.' He said.

I huffed. 'That's funny actually.'

'Can't stand the fact you spend so much time with him, reading.' He uttered that last word as if we were committing a crime.

'You should try it sometime. You might learn a thing or two.'

'Such as?'

'How to treat a girl for one.'

'Two orgasms isn't the way?'

'Asher Briareve!' I squealed pretending to be appalled. 'What in the world....-' I closed my eyes to compose myself.

'Not leave a girl in a bathroom afterwards perhaps!' I hissed.

'You got me there... I'm sorry sweetheart. Really. Truly. Sorry.'

The waiter dropped our dishes in front of us and hurried away like his tail was on fire.

'You are leaving a big tip.' I said to him.

Afterwards he walked me towards the hairdressers. We weren't cool but I was going to try to forgive him. 'Are you seeing Oak later?' he asked with a slight edge to his tone.

'Nope, Sebastian tonight. Skylark tomorrow.'

'Can I claim Sunday?' he hopefully added.

'That depends on what you're planning. I'm not doing any bathrooms anymore.'

He chuckled. 'I'm making up for that first time of ours sweetheart.'

'Who says there will be a second time?' I teased. I was damn sure I would want a second time but he didn't need to know that.

'After what you see what I got planned... you would want to rip these clothes of.'

'Sure Ash...' I rolled my eyes.

'So Sunday then'

I nodded. 'Sunday it is... but Ash.'

He turned around and I stated. 'Bring Oak.'
