Loving Asher King

Asher's POV :

I couldn't get over the kiss. I know it was only on the cheek. But it was like an assurance that I still had a chance. I can still make her heart flutter again. I can still be her number one. The love she always wanted. I want to give her everything she deserves. After the heartbreak and pain, I have given her. I can't let her go now. Never.

I know it's unsafe to be by my side. But Kiara makes me want to take that risk, cause I know I am going to protect her with all my life. I smiled as I closed the laptop only to see Blake and Christian standing there staring at me.

"What?" I asked getting up and wearing my jacket. "Why are you smiling like a weirdo?" Blake asked. "None of your business," I said. "Aww did Kiara give her daddy Ash a kiss?" Christian said, making me look at him shocked. "Wait what?" Blake asked.

"Don't you two have work to do?" I asked. "No this way is better," they said sitting down. "I am going to lock the office so you are welcome to stay," I said. "Well, I came to tell you we are having family dinner this Friday," Christian said, getting up as we all walked out of the room.

"And Allisa is inviting Kiara," he said. A smile made its way to me. "And why are you mentioning that specifically?" I asked. "So you don't fight with her?" he said, confused. "Don't worry that won't happen," I assured him. "Of course now that you know of your undying love for her, huh?" Blake said.

I didn't answer them as I walked to my car. I don't care what they say. I was and I knew it.

Kiara's POV :

I was almost done with work. "You want to come over for dinner?" Kyle asked. "I would love to see the kids, but I am exhausted," I said. "Yeah you look like it," he laughed. "Kyle, don't make me hit you," I said, getting up. "When is dinner at Allisa's?" he asked. "Tomorrow," I said as we walked out.

"Have fun," he said, kissing my forehead. "You are not going to ask?" I said. "I already know, I will cut him some slack after that talk. But when he decides to date you again I am going to punch the shit out of him," he said getting into his car.

When he dates you, not If he does. Kyle has more confidence in Asher than I thought. I was about to walk to my car when I saw there was another black car in the parking lot that I had never seen before. And it was almost 10 pm. I got into my car and as soon as I started it. I felt the other car start too. My heart started beating louder as I started to drive out of the parking lot. I took out my phone dialing the first number I could find.

"Kiara?'' His deep voice brought some soothing to me. "Ash, I think someone is following me," I said, trying to sound brave. "Baby, where are you?" he asked concern, lacing his voice. "Driving out of my office building. "Okay, I'm going to try and catch up to you. Can you make sure not to take a secluded turn?" he said.

"Umm-hmm?" I said as I saw the car still following me on the streets. "Be on the call okay?" he said. "Yeah," I said. "Are you driving your black Lamborghini?" he asked. "Yes." "I see you pull over to the big restaurant right on the next right turn okay?" he said. I took the right quickly pulling over. Only to see the Black car going straight.

Asher's car stopped right behind me and he got out of his car and I got out of mine running to him. He pulled me into his embrace. My nerves relaxed as I was engulfed in his warmth. I hugged him tighter.

After a minute when I pulled apart, he looked at me for any sign of injury. "What happened?" he asked. "I don't know for a while now I have had this feeling that somebody is following me, but I guess this car wasn't it," I sighed, still looking at where that car disappeared. "It's okay, even if it was a hallucination or even if this car wasn't following you, I am glad you called someone to make sure we knew where you were," he said, sighing.
