The Tattoo (zayn)

Part 2

"There is no way that happened." Asher, one of the personal assistants on set, butted in. He was pretty good looking. Brown hair, nice jawbone. He was pretty cool for the most part and we liked the same music. Rumors flew around the set like they did in high school and Dakota, another personal assistant, told me that Asher actually had a thing for me. Couldn't say that I minded.
"It really did!" I playfully hit him on the arm, my favorite flirting technique.
"Nah I want proof." He leaned back into his spot on the couch which was next to mine.
I whipped out my phone and scrolled back in my timeline. I landed on the picture that Megan, the tattoo artist, took with my phone after the tattoos were done. It was Zayn and I next to each other, showing our tattoos to the camera.
I showed it to Asher and he immediately stopped laughing. Like a wave of jealousy came over him.
"So why didn't you ever tweet him or something?" Jasper asked while he snaked his arm around Arielle's waist. They were the most precious couple ever. Jasper actually worked at Buzzfeed, the Internet site, where they met when she came in to do make up for a video of theirs.
"Well when I moved out to Los Angeles I wanted to get settled and by the time I got around to it, I saw on Instagram that he had a girlfriend, so I didn't do anything about it." I looked down at the picture once more. I still remembered that smile. Whoever she was, she was a lucky girl.
"Oh come on Rachel you have to at least let him know that you're out there." Dakota insisted. Asher remained perfectly quite. This whole thing was starting to make me a little anxious.
"You guys I'm gonna grab some air." I said as I got up from the couch. I felt everyone's eyes follow me to the window.
I hopped out onto the fire escape and climbed up to the roof of our building. I looked out over the LA sky. I tried my best to forget about the feelings that were being brought up while telling that story.
I heard footsteps heading up the fire escape and I figured it was just Arielle, checking to see if I was ok.
I turned my head toward the steps to see Asher coming up them.
"Hey." He said as he stepped over the ledge onto the rooftop.
"Hey."
He came over to me a propped his elbows on the side of the building, mimicking my stance. We had a moment of silence of looking out over the city.
He broke it. "So I know I'm no Zayn but I really like you and I'd love to take you out on a date sometime."
He kept his attention to the skyline.
I smiled when he finished his sentence. I had been really into Asher since filming started so I was actually fairly excited that he asked me out.
"Yah i'd like that." I answered him and we stayed up there for another hour, talking and admiring the city.
