Reciprocated love

Part 48: First Impression is the Best

On the way back to their rooms, Crystal and Asher were holding hands, walking together. Asher was staring at her side profile and admiring the way she looks when she's happy. He couldn't believe that the girl he likes is his girlfriend now and that she's dating g him. Once they reached the end of the corridor and stood at Crystal's doorstep, she turned around to face him. Looking at their hands that were intertwined, she said "Goodnight." Without saying anything, Asher held her chin and made her look into his eyes "Do you want me to go?" Of course not. She just started dating him. She wanted to spend all her time together with him. Seeing her quiet, he said "I will take that as a yes." And he turned around to leave. "W-Wait!" Asher smirked internally "Yes?" "S-Stay with me for..sometime.." "Okay." Before she could react, he held her hand and pulled her into her own room. Seating himself on the couch, he looked at her who was standing next to him, not understanding what to do. "You can go fresh up. I will wait here." Nodding, she took her clothes and went into the washroom. Asher pulled out his phone and typed a message to someone. Then he put it back in his pocket stood up, walking to the gallery to feel the cold breeze and look at the peaceful moonlight.

 A few minutes later, the door of the washroom opened and Crystal walked out. Her first thought was Asher as she looked around and saw him no where. Though Asher was in the gallery, it was closed by curtains and the person on the outside was not visible to the person inside the room. He slightly peeked into the room and saw her looking everywhere for him. Then she was mumbling to herself "He told me he will stay right here. Where did he go?" As she moved closer towards the balcony, she smelled a familiar scent and with a wide smile painted on her face she said "Come out, Ash. I found you already." Asher still stayed quiet. An idea clicked in her head, Crystal walked towards the door, opened it and closed it, pretending that she left. Hearing the sound of the door close, Asher thought 'Did she leave?' And drew the curtains aside, Crystal was standing at the door with a smirk "Hello, Ash." 

Asher couldn't take his eyes off her. Crystal was wearing a red thin strap shirt with black shorts, long enough upto her mid thighs. The thin strap of the shirt allowed her delicate shoulders and collar bones to be exposed completely, Her long hair was tied up in a messy bun yet, a few strands were out of their place. Her white skin was moist and those hair strands that escaped from her bun were damp. She looked totally edible to his eyes. As if possessed, Asher walked to her and before she could process what's happening, he held her waist, pulling her closer. Crystal was startled with the sudden  contact and looked into his eyes. Holding her closer, Asher said "You smell so good." Lowering his head into the crook of her neck, he sniffed the smell of her skin. After a moment, he looked back into her eyes which were staring at him anxiously. "Crys." He called out. Though he tried to be rational, his voice sounded husky to her. "Hmm?" Asher moved close to her face "Have you ever heard of the saying 'First impression is the best impression'? Crystal nodded, still looking into his eyes. "So..don't you think I should make the best impression?" Crystal looked puzzled. Asher's gaze moved from her eyes towards her lips. Her plum like lips looked so soft and devour able. Asher lifted his hand and rested his palm against her face. Caressing her cheek he asked "Can I kiss you?"
