Ally

I woke up the next morning laying in someone else's bed, I looked around and remembered whose bed I was in. I sat up and looked around looking for Asher but he wasn’t in bed. 

I got up and walked out of his room then down the stairs to the kitchen, i saw him sitting at the table with a coffee cup in his hand, he had his laptop sitting on the counter checking emails

“Good Morning” i said wrapping my arms around his neck 

“Morning Ally” he said turning around in the chair to face me

“How’d you sleep” i ask and he laughed at my question

“Ally, i don’t sleep” 

“What! Oh, yeah” 

He grabbed my hand and lifting it to his lips, kissing it

“How did you sleep, my love” 

My Love. god the way my brain goes fuzzy when he says that

“I slept really well actually, your bed is very comfortable” i said and he smiled at me then let go of my hand and stood up going over to the counter to pour me coffee. He handed me the cup

We sat at the kitchen table not talking, but it was peaceful. Being around him is so peaceful, he makes me forget about the shit i’ve been through, how many times i’ve been hurt, he makes me believe for once, things are going to be okay….

“So whats the plans for you today Miss Cole” 

“I don’t know Mister Avery, what shall we do on this fine day” i said and he smiled shaking his head 

“Well how about we stay here and watch movies” 

“Boring, let’s go shopping” I said with a big smile on my face, he looked not very excited about my offer

“Do we have to” he said giving me a smug look

“No, but it would be fun, we can go to the mall and you know do the normal stuff you do at the mall” 

“I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but “normal” isn’t my forte” he said putting air quotes on ‘normal’

“Well Asher, if you plan to keep me around you better get used to normal things going on” 

“I don’t know Ally, i’m not a big shopper” 

“Too bad, we’re gonna add some “normal” to your life, now get your ass up and get ready” i got up and kissed his cheek then left the kitchen before he could protest anymore

We got to the mall and Asher looked nervous, very nervous…. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it  to help him ease up, he held my hand as we walked around going to stores, i bought a couple shirts which I had to fight Asher not to pay for, which obviously didn’t work cause he refused to let me pay. 

“ You don’t need to buy me stuff, i’m well capable of buying my own stuff” I said turning to him as we walked out the store 

“ I know you are, but you are the one who wanted “normal” and from my understanding boyfriends paying for their girlfriends things is normal” 

“Don’t use my words against me” 

“What? That's what you said”  he said with a giggle

We walked around the mall for a couple hours and I could tell Asher was now feeling better, he was no longer nervous or watching everyone's movements. 

I felt at home with him, he gave me a sense of feeling I had never felt, I felt I could tell him everything and he’d expect me no matter what. We all have demons and I choose to hide mine, but for him I would let him crawl inside of me and find every single detail of my whole life. He has become my hope, the hope I never thought I'd need. 

He is my family. Oh shit.. Family..

“Fuck” i said grabbing my purse and digging for my phone 

“You okay” he said with a concerning tone 

“No, no i’m not” i kept digging for my phone not finding it anywhere 

“Babe if your looking for your phone it’s in your pocket” 

I turned to him then reached in my back pocket and low and behold there it was. As fast as i could i called my mom 

“Wow, Ally so nice of you to call” she said with a bitchy tone

“Yeah mom sorry, so are we still having that dinner next weekend” 

“Oh so now you want to see your family” 

Asher was looking at me with a worried face, i knew he could hear what my mom was saying

“Mom i just want to know if it’s still happening or not” I wanted to try and make it seem like i didn’t want to rip my hair out everytime i talk to her, but i don’t think i’m doing a good job

“Yes Ally it’s still happening” She almost sounds happy that i want to come 

“Okay, that’s great, see you next week mom” I hung up and put my phone back in my pocket

“Your mom sounds like a delight” Asher said with a stressed looking face

“Oh yeah, she’s wonderful and you’re meeting her next weekend” I said with a smile 

“I’m sorry what?”

“Please, I can’t go alone, please baby” I pouted my lip trying to convince him 

“Ally I-” He started to say but i cut him off 

“Please Please Please Please” 

“No” 

“Please Please Plea-”  

“Ally, no” He cut me off with a very harsh no 

“I’ll stay at your house for the whole week” 

“Deal” 

And that ladies, is how you get a man to do whatever you want…

“Thank you, I seriously can’t go without some type of support” I said, hugging him, he hugged me and kissed my head. 

This man will be the death of me…
