Loving Ash

The next day, Sara woke up in Ash's chest, as always. She smiled at the thought of having him for a full year, but then she frowned, knowing that it would only be a year, and then she'd be with someone else for a full year.

Luckily, she knows Ash's plan and where he wants to study, unlike most, he wants to study in Europe, Oxford, Imperial College London or ETH in Zurich, Switzerland. He wants to see something different than America. The problem with the whole thing is that she can't afford to go study outside America, her mother can't pay for it. It will likely end with her never being with him after this year.

A tear rolled down her cheek. She didn't want it to be true, but it was, and it will come true no matter what. She sobbed softly. Ash woke up behind her, he groaned, but heard fast that she was sobbing.

"What is it, my angel?" Ash asked with concern.
"It's nothing," Sara sobbed.
"Well, I can clearly see that it's not nothing." Ash pressed her and gave her a kiss on the back of her head.

"I ... I" Sara stuttered and sobbed in between.
"I just remembered that I ... I won't be with you after this year and most likely will never be with you," Sara sobbed softly.
"Why do you think that?" Ash tried to soothe her. He knew what she meant, but she needed to say it before he could do anything else.
"I won't be able to pay to come study in Europe; it's simply too expensive." Sara stared at the wall.
"What if I tell you that about the study fees and expenses, you don't have to worry?"
"What do you mean, sir?" Sara turned into his chest, looking up at him in the eyes, but she twisted her head into his chest.

Ash paused for a moment and started to lightly caress her head. He breathed deeply once or twice, then resumed with an answer.
"What if I tell you that you don't need to worry about any expenses because they will all be covered?"

Sara looked up and had a puzzled expression on her face. What was he trying to say? She suspected something, but he couldn't do that; his family couldn't pay for her expenses; that would be too much to pay. She gasped, and then she looked up at Ash.

"If your wish is to stay with me, and you want to come to me to study, my parents would pay for everything: exclusive housing, eating, study fees, transportation, anything you could imagine." Ash has now revealed the truth.

"You can't do that, Ash; that is too much. Please, that is too much money," Sara pouted, and she was shocked.
"You know, I never told you why we're so rich, my mother is the co-holder of the visa company, and my dad is working for Siemens in a high position. I also never told you that I actually live in a villa with my sister. Don't get me wrong here; my parents don't spoil me; no, they would rather let me earn my rich status, but when we're looking at education and love, they are both very big supporters, and they would do anything to make me happy, when my love is not able to pay for their expenses."

"Ash, please, don't; this feels not good, living on the coast of another family," Sara whined and turned herself away from his face.
"Firstly, you know how to address me, and second of all, all the expenses you would generate in a year are what my parents earn in a half a day; you really don't have to worry about this part; please consider it." Ash tried to explain to her, but if he really got her, he didn't know.

Ash held her firmly against his chest, and she closed her eyes to savor his touch. She could lay there with him for hours, it was something that would never get boring. His presence made her feel safe, and protected. It wasn't forced; it was just there. And when she is in his arms, she feels the love; she feels connected to his soul, knowing that he is her soulmate; he is her soul's love.

Sara turned around in his arms, and he looked from above down to her. The difference in heights was clearly noticeable; he was nearly one foot bigger than her at 6'2, and she is only 5'3. But it didn't matter to him. She was adorable-looking, and her height just supported this feature of hers.
