Flip of a Coin

Chapter 35

A/N - So Grace has moved in with Eden so you may hear more from Grace although as I am nearing the end there will only be a few more chapters left.I'm expecting it to be around 40 chapters long. This won't be the end though. I am hoping to write a sequel and I have some big ideas for that. It might be unexpected to some but you'll just have wait and see. I can't wait to begin writing the sequel and I know that you will be just as excited to read it. This chapter is dedicated to @GranuleSong and @Catherinethestrange. Hope you enjoy.

"Hey Eden," Asher greets me as Grace, Annabel and I enter the library.

"Hey babe," I reply.

"Well now that all of us are here, shall we go to the park?" Asher asks.

"Why not?" Grace says and we all leave the library and make our way over the little bridge and over to the park. Asher reaches for my hand and I grab it tightly not wanting to let go. Annabel and Grace have their arms linked as they skip along slightly ahead of us. We eventually make it over to the playground at the park. This park is the best. It's teen friendly and a perfect place to hang out with friends. Asher lets go of my hand and whispers something in Grace's ear. I don't hear any of it but Asher picks my up like a Groom would pick up his bride and he places me in the large round swing so I am lying across it on one side. Asher begins to push the swing before jumping on so that it is still swinging when he hopped in. He lies down beside me and I lift my head up allowing him to put his arm around me. He does the same and I tuck my arm under his neck.

"Aww... look at them," I hear Annabel say to Grace. I smile and roll over slightly facing in towards Asher a bit more. He smiles showing me his glowing white teeth. Asher rolls in towards me to so that we are on our sides with our faces in close proximity. I lean in and give Asher a quick peck on the lips as if to say, let me know if you want more. Sure enough he puts his other arm on my shoulder and goes in for another kiss. This one lasting sightly longer than the last. The seat begins to move slightly so I sit up and Asher sits up next to me with his arm supporting my back. I see Grace and Annabel pushing the swing gently.

"Our turn!" Grace yells and I jump off the swing with Asher. Annabel hops off with Grace and Asher gives the swing one push before we go off for a bit of a walk. We have our arms wrapped around each others backs as we walk across the grass together. We turn around together and look at Gracabel being cute. I watch for a moment longer and catch them having a quick peck on the lips. I quickly turn back and continue to walk with Asher. I see him turning towards me out of the corner off my eye as we walk into the sun. I turn towards him and he gives me a kiss right on my forehead. Ah... I love it when he's like this. We are almost back at the library when we hear running footsteps coming up behind us.

"That first kiss was great!" Annabel says.

"Yep," Grace agrees. I wonder what Mrs James would be thinking of she saw that. Grace told about Mrs James' reaction and I'm so upset about how mean she was. Now Grace is living with me and it's great to have my twin back with me. I just smile for her. I'm so glad to see her happy and smiling. It reminds me of when I first met Asher outside of school at the library. That day was both the best and the worst but if it didn't happen? Well who knows what we would be like today? We all begin walking together making our ways back home. I see Sam walking on the other side of the road and in the opposite direction. His head is hung low.

"Hold up, I'll be back," I say as I run across the road, "Are you ok?" I ask Sam.

"Do I look ok to you?" he responds.

"No, not exactly," I say, "What happened?"

"Well..." he says and he begins to explain, "your mum is still trying to force me into a relationship with you. I really like you as you know but seeing you happy with Asher makes me realise that what your mum is trying to do is wrong. You and Asher are happily together, yet she doesn't like Asher and is trying to break you up. I just came from your house and we had this argument. I said I'm done with trying to help her and I'm ready to help you."

"Thanks, it must be hard for you to see me and Asher together but good on you. I hope you find someone special one day, I have to go now, the others are waiting for me but thanks so much," I say and begin making my way back to the others.
