After dinner Anne and I sat down and talked about Aspen.
"I used the last of my powers to heal her but I wanted her to sleep. How did you know who I was?" I couldn't understand how she knew it was me so quickly.
"Well, she's had many dreams about you which isn't normal but when she would wake up she described what you looked like. Plus you just seemed like you were so at home here." I tried not to blush when she said Aspen dreams about me. My mind wandered to all of the dreams i've had about her and her beautiful body. I had never seen it but my mind still made up what it might look like. One time while I was sleeping I heard Aspen crying out and I woke up to see if she was hurt. She was having a wet dream and moaning my name. My knees go weak every time I think about it.
Aspens mom and I spent The next few hours talking about anything and everything. I let her get to know me and got to know her even better than I already did. She told me stories about when she was younger. Her mom basically adopted me, saying that I could live in their house. I was happy to live with such a caring women. She showed me some pictures and I showed her almost all the ones I had taken on my phone.
I was washing the dishes after talking to Aspen's mom, Phoebe, while her mom was sitting and relaxing for once. There was a faint rustling from upstairs and only I could hear. When I walked into her room she was staring down at her arm in disbelief.
"So are you my guardian angel?" My nose crinkled at the roughness of her tone. "I didn't need you, I wanted to die." I could hear the anger in her voice. It felt like a slap in the face.
"I'm sorry but my sole purpose is to keep you alive. I was born for you and you only. I waited my entire life to come down and meet you. I sure didn't think you would act like this." I set her food down on the table nicely and quietly walked out. She hadn't even looked at me.
I was so frustrated. All I've ever wanted was to be with my soulmate. I love her so much and she was so selfish. How could she leave her mom? I wasn't going to hold a grudge. I understood that she was upset. I walked downstairs and told Phoebe what happened. She thought that Aspen was in the wrong but told me that she was probably just surprised so much that she didn't know how to act. She also explained that Aspen is a very emotional girl. I forgave her but I didn't go to see her again.
I spent the entire night rearranging my room and putting away all my stuff that was sent down with me. The room looked like my own and I felt satisfied. I decided to take a shower since my room was so clean and organized I should be clean also.
Aspen's POV
After my angel left, I felt terrible. I wasn't really upset with him, more like just upset with myself for messing up and being so selfish.
What he said was so sweet and it made me so happy. I had seen him so many times in my dreams. And I could feel him watching over me almost all day everyday. I loved him even though I had never met him, that's another reason I never liked anyone else.
When I looked at the plate he set down I smiled wider than before. He had made my favorite meal. I scarfed down the food and ran out to talk to find him. When I got downstairs I didn see him and started to have a panic attack. I breathed to prevent it because I knew that no one could take away my panic attacks so if I let myself have one it would be a very long night for me. My mom was sitting on the couch reading and she looked happier than i've seen her in a while.
"Did he leave?" I felt like crying and then realized I already was. My mom looked up.
"No no honey he's setting his room up." She was smiling at me as my eyes went wide.
"What's his name? Is he staying forever? What is he like? His voice was heavenly." The last part came out before I could stop it.
"Okay honey well first of all relax. His name is Asher. He is staying forever, as long as you want him and he does not pass away. He's a very nice boy, he's smart and funny. he knows you very well. He's a scorpio so heś very strong and protective of you. Hes also very emotional, passionate, and romantic." My mom went on and on telling me all about Asher. I couldn wait to properly meet him. I wanted to spend time with him so I walked up stairs to his room.
I knocked on his door for a little while but he didn't answer. So I slumped on the floor because I had forgotten how mean I was to him. I knew I had hurt his feelings. I rambled on about my feelings and apologized trying to get him to respond or let me in. When I looked up he was standing over me.
My cheeks heated quickly and I looked down. I heard him chuckle and looked up again, this time avoiding his bare chest.
He was so beautiful, more beautiful than he was in my dreams. Water droplets were in his hair and falling down his stomach. All of his skin was a beautiful shade of milk chocolate. He had toned abs, his arms were smooth and perfectly toned. He was very muscular but not too much.
There was a towel hanging loosely on his waist. It showed the V-line of muscle leading down to a bulge in the towel. I looked up quick enough to get whip lash and stood up. He was towering over my 4 feet 10 inches.
"Hi my name is Aspen." I was an idiot. He already knew everything about me, especially my name. I mentally smacked myself. "I'm sorry I was so rude earlier. I didn't mean to make you upset or hurt your feelings."
"It's alright Aspen, I know you were frustrated and i'm glad you feel better." Hearing my name in his voice gave my stomach butterflies.
"Thanks.. There was an awkward silence . Uh well you should probably get some rest. So.. yeah goodnight." I walked away as quickly as I could but my foot caught on the rug in the hallway and I tripped. I yelped as I hit the ground until I realized it wasn't the ground. Something warm and strong caught me. Tingles were erupting on any part of my skin that was touching it. I looked up and saw Asher. I gasped and got to my feet, backing into my room with my skin and body buzzing. It felt amazing.
I sat on my bed for a long time thinking about the feeling. I wondered if he felt it too and if it was supposed to happen. I tried to go to sleep but my mind was racing with thousands of questions.
When I woke up in the morning I walked over to the bathroom to take a shower and then get ready for school. I was dreading going, like always. When I got downstairs I was greeted by my smiling mom and a sexy looking Asher.
"Good morning Aspen." I peed a little when he said my name. I must have not truly heard his voice last night. It was deep and smooth but also rough and manly.
"Good morning Asher." I knew I was blushing, I could feel it.
Asher's POV
"Good morning Asher." Her voice was shy and song-like. She was so beautiful that no words could do her justice. I wanted to hold her in my arms and feel the sparks as our skin touched again. I wondered if she felt it. It was magical and it woke up parts of my body that hadn't been awoken ever.
"So Asher i'll be driving you two to school today since I have to register you. What classes do you want to take?" Aspens mom was so enthusiastic.
"I want every class that Aspen has. I know what she has done up to now because i've watched her at school." I was smiling at Aspen and admiring her as she blushed harshly. She was trying not to look at me and when our eyes met her brows furrowed and she looked away. When our eyes met my stomach tightened.
When we got to the school all the students were looking at me. Girls were smiling flirtily and giving Aspen dirty looks. She had her head down and it sickened me. I hated to see her like this.
We sat down in the office with her mom in the office and arranged my classes. I was in every class Aspen was in. After the meeting her mom left and we went to her locker. The principal gave us a new bigger one to share. I helped her move her stuff over and girls kept stopping and staring at us. I could hear them talking crap about Aspen because of my sensitive hearing and it angered me.
