Always and Forever

Chapter 5: Her pyscho crusher

The next morning
11am

Asher's POV
I woke up to see Laylia sleeping peacefully in my arms. How can I get up without waking her? I also saw the hickey I gave her last night.

I brushed her hair out of her face and lightly kissed her forehead. I saw her smile and it made me smile. I carefully moved her off of me and onto the bed. Just as I got up I was pulled back down. I saw Layla's hand on mine and she was kinda awake.

Asher: Good morning beautiful.
Layla: Morning Asher. Why are you awake so early?
Asher: I wanted to make you something to eat and it's not early.
Layla: Let's just cuddle for five more minutes. Please?

I knew that five minutes would turn into twenty minutes and then an hour pretty quickly. I put a pillow in her arms and she hugged it tightly. She's adorable.

Asher: I'm kinda jealous that you love the pillow more than me.

Layla opened her eyes in confusion and looked at the pillow. She glared at me and I laughed. All of a sudden, she pulled me onto the bed and hovered over me. This girl can be so hot sometimes! She leaned in to kiss me, and I was ready to kiss her back, but then she whispered in my ear.

Layla: *whispering* Well maybe the pillow is a better cuddler?

I felt my face heat up because she sounded hot!

Asher: But a pillow can't give you the experience you had last night.

I hoisted myself up using my arms and kissed her.

Asher: Can I make us something to eat now?
Layla: *smiles* Okay.

She moved off me and I stood up. I put my arm over her shoulder and we walked to the kitchen.

An hour later

Layla's POV

Asher was watching sport on the TV while I was reading a book. I was lying against his chest inbetween his legs.

Layla: Asher?
Asher: Yes Babe?
Layla: Can I call you "Teddybear"?

Asher sighed deeply and I giggled.

Asher: Only if I can call you "Princess"?

I sighed the same way as Asher did and nodded. I continued reading and he continued watching TV. After a while, I got up to use the restroom. I finished my business and went into my room to check my phone. That's when I saw a box on my bed. I called out to Asher from my room.

Layla: Teddybear?
Asher: Yes Princess?
Layla: Did you leave a box in my room?
Asher: Uh...no I didn't. Is there a note?
Layla: No, there isn't.
Asher: Hold on, I'm coming.
Layla: Okay but I'm gonna open it.

I heard Asher say something but I couldn't hear him that well. I slowly opened the box and suddenly, a bunch of spiders started crawling out.

Asher's POV
I walked to Laylia's room when I suddenly heard her scream. I rushed in and saw her standing on top of her desk while spiders crawled around the room. What the heck?!

Asher: Where'd these come from?

She pointed to the box.

Asher: Why the literal frick would someone leave spiders in your room?!
Layla: Does it look like I would know?

I looked at the scared Layla and then at the spider which started crawling on me. I then noticed that it was fake. I tried stepping on one of them and it broke apart.

Asher: They're fake, don't worry.
Layla: They're still spiders which look as real as real ones!

She hasn't gotten over her arachnophobia. She kinda looks like a cat up on that desk. I found a switch under one of them and when I flipped it, all the spiders stopped moving. I looked in the box and found a note. It said, "Dear Layla, I hope you enjoy this gift from me to you. This proves how well I know you. I love you and I know that I can be a better boyfriend than Asher. I didn't see you last night but I'm hoping I'll see you today. Love you lots!"
