This morning when I woke up I was laying in the most comfortable position ever!
Asher's arms were wrapped tightly around my waist and his head was in the crook of my neck. My arms were on the pillow next to me and our legs were twisted together.
Ever since he moved in I've been sleeping properly. We practically molest each other in our sleep, but we both wake up and actually feel awake.
Today is graduation. Halley, Mara and I are all super prepared for today. Mostly because Mara and Halley have been planning it since we started high school. I couldn't care less the whole time, because we started just after Tara died.
It is kinda nice to know they put in so much effort. They even made sure that we'd be wearing Hodgkins Lymphoma awareness bracelets and they ensured I'd be wearing my twin ring necklace, as they call it. Tara and I had the same necklace, that had two rings on it. She was buried wearing hers and I will be buried wearing mine one day.
I carefully woke Asher up. And by carefully I mean, bashing him with a pillow repeatedly. He's a very heavy sleeper.
He finally groaned, signalling that he was at last, awake.
"Happy graduation day Babe!" I smiled.
"Yay! You ready to finally be rid of high school?" He asked, kissing my neck softly.
"Yep. And unless you want to be late you better stop doing that, because I won't bother controlling myself." I giggled, squirming out of his grip, leaving him with an extremely attractive smirk plastered on his face.
I rolled my eyes and got out of bed, grabbing the dress the girls are forcing me to wear off of the dresser, and walked into my bathroom.
After I showered, I got dressed and blow-dried my hair. I braided it and then did my basic make-up. I put my necklace and bracelet on and walked out to see Asher rolling the sleeves of his dress shirt up to his elbows.
He was wearing black skinny jeans and a grey button down dress shirt. He was looking mighty fine I must say.
"Hello gorgeous." He smiled, looking over at me.
I smiled and grabbed my heels, that made me about 6'2 in terms of height. I was still shorter than Asher, who stands at about 6'7, needless to say he's very fucking tall. But so am I so... Ya know.
We walked downstairs, hand in hand to meet mother, dad, Quentin, Quentin's girlfriend Kaylin, Mara, Mara's boyfriend Xavier, Halley, Kynan, Emma, Taylor, Bea, Carson and Patrick. Oh and also Judah and Heath. That's a lot of people... And half of them hate each other.
"Daddy!" I yelled, letting go of Asher hand and running to hug my father. "You came."
"I've missed too much. It's time I be the father I should have been for you and Mara." He said, hugging me as if it was the last time he ever would.
"Excuse me... Sir? I'm Asher Michaels... Cara's boyfriend. I have something I'd like to bounce off of you... Before we leave would be great." Asher smiled.
"Certainly son. C'mon, lets go out the front and leave all of these humans to themselves." He chuckled, letting go of me.
I wonder what he's gonna ask about.
Anyway I smiled and watched as Asher and my dad walked outside.
I turned to mum and shrugged. She just winked, so did everyone else in the room... That's not creepy at all.
About ten minutes later Asher and dad walked back in, and soon after, we all left for the school.
We pulled up at 'hell' and got out of the cars.
Asher and I walked hand in hand into the crowded auditorium.
"Please be seated in alphabetical order students." Principal Matthews announced through the loud speakers.
I gave Asher a quick kiss and went to the very first seat, because there was no one in my grade that was ahead of me on the roll.
Soon we all had our certificates and they were handing out pointless awards.
"Most likely to become a model... Cara Bridgette Erikson and Mara Eleanor Erikson... Looks like it's shared this year." Principal Matthews smiled.
Mara and I collected our awards and sat back down.
"Cutest family... Asher Tyson Michaels and his baby brothers Judah and Heath along with Cara Bridgette Erikson!"
"Most attractive female... There seems to be three this year... Mara Eleanor Erikson, Cara Bridgette Erikson and Halley Maybel Sampson!"
"Most likely to marry young... Asher Tyson Michaels and Cara Bridgette Erikson." Principal Matthews announced.
Asher and I stood up and walked out the front.
"Um... I wasn't gonna do this now... But I've found the perfect opportunity. Cara Bridgette Erikson, you are my one and only, my forever and always and my never ending story. I love you more than anything and I need you more than the air we breathe. You're my bestie, my girlfriend and the love of my life..." He slowly lowered down onto one knee and pulled a small velvety box from his pocket. "Judah, Heath, say it." He smiled looking at his brothers.
"Car-car wiw youw mawwy Ashwer?" They asked.
I had tears brimming my eyes, ready to fall.
"So, Cara Bridgette Erikson... Will you marry me?"
"Yeah sure, why not?" I answered.
"Not exactly what I was expecting, but I'll take it!" He beamed, slipping the ring from the box onto my finger.

I was finally happy.
The Formal will be in the next part... BTW, that ring is like amaze balls!
