Asher's Heart

Chapter 20

"Is this your home?" Megan asked in awe, looking out the window as we entered the McArdles' driveway. I turned off the ignition and faced her.

"No. My home is over there," I said pointing to the other side of the road. She turned her head to look.

"That's a huge house," she said.

"Actually they both are pretty much the same size," I said referring to my house and the McArdles' house.

She nodded.

"All the house in this area are the same size," I told her getting out of my car.

She got out after me.

"Um why are we here?" she asked.

I smiled mischievously at her.

"Do you remember I texted you once about helping me with something?" I asked her walking to the front door.

She thought for a moment then her blue eyes sparkled as she finally remembered.

"Yes!" she said. "But what do you need my help with?" she asked.

"We're going to give Asher a taste of his own medicine. We're going to play the player," I said.

Megan smirked evilly and I knew just then that my decision of choosing her as my partner in crime was a good one. God forbid if I had chosen Brooke this plan wouldn't see the light of dawn.

"But what about..." she trailed off. Doubt marring her face.

"Don't worry. Nobody's home," I reassured her. Linda and Tyler wouldn't be home until night and the twins were at school for soccer practice.

"But then how are we gonna get in?" she asked.

I smiled smugly and produced a key from my pocket. I jingled it in front of her then proceeded to unlock the door.

Megan gasped as we went inside.

"It's beautiful," she whispered looking around.

Even though Linda was a renowned fashion designer she had outdone herself at interior designing too. The house had modern look but the decorations gave it a royal touch.

"It's like I'm in a palace," she said excitedly.

I smiled in agreement.

"You want something to drink?" I asked.

She shook her head absentmindedly, still gazing at her surroundings.

"Okay then. We should start our plan. The boys will be home in a few hours," I said.

Megan looked at me and nodded.

I put my bag on the table and opened it. It was filled with all the stuff I was going to use for this plan.

I explained my plan to Megan and we divided the work. She went to the garage and I went upstairs.

I hesitated for only a moment before turning the knob to Asher's room. I haven't been here for years but I wasn't surprised to see that it was exactly the same. The king sized bed still faced the balcony and the walls were still plain grey with nothing on them. It was gonna change soon though.

I put my bag on the bed and opened it, taking out a small bottle. I made my way to his bathroom and filled the bottle of shampoo with the liquid in my hand. I closed the bottle and shook it. I left the bathroom as it was. Without leaving any clue I was here.

First phase completed. Now, step two.

It was going to be tiring. I rolled my sleeves back and got to work. After endless minutes of working with paper and glue I was done. I stood in the middle of the room, admiring my work. All the walls were now covered with loads of pictures of different sizes. Of him. I smirked. This would take self obsession to the next level. I would never want to live in a room like this. It was already starting to give me the creeps.
