Light Hazel|| a Dark Green sequel

Chapter 4

Harry

She messaged me. I knew she would, why wouldn't she? That man she's engaged to doesn't know her the way I do. He hasn't been there the way I did, he would never want her like I do.
I believe she understands why I had to left last time, why she couldn't come or be with me.
I hope she finally understands.

This is the first step in making her mine.

Quinn

After writing the message to Asher, I take the forbidden phone and send Harry a time and a place I know no one would find about us. After a brief visit at the hospital and seeing Zac out, I got to work. I tried hard concentrating so my heart wouldn't jump out of my chest at the thought I'm meeting up with Harry.

I wonder if this is a mistake: the meeting and the secrecy. I should have told Asher years ago about my first, real love but at the same time, I didn't want him to meet the Quinn that fell in love with a guy she shouldn't have even met in the first place.

I smile remembering Asher.

I still think about that little smiley face he wrote in my coffee cup and how, despite of my broken being, I felt a little tinge in my heart and the blush in the tips of my ears. He was handsome and had the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. Not for the color or the shape, but because they were sincere and showed no pain.

I didn't call him for months and he didn't push it any further but a small part in my head kept thinking about him.

So I ended up calling, maybe out of curiosity or maybe because it was that first person that made me think about something else apart from my pain.

That day, he was so surprised he couldn't say a word right. We talked about nothing and decided to meet one day for coffee.

We became friends.

Later, we became best friends.

I fell in love with him.

He told me he fell in love with me long before friendship.

I told him I was in love with him but I couldn't date him.

He told me he understood, with sad hazel eyes.

We grew a bit a part but I couldn't live without him.

I kissed him a couple days later and told him exactly that.

He cried a tear while I cried a hundred and promised me he would treat me rightly.

That's how we started dating.

I asked him to go slow at first, and keep it a secret so people wouldn't meddle in. He wanted just the same so he took me out many times and we kissed in his car when he dropped me home careful of spying eyes. After a couple of months of secret meetings and kisses, I wanted people to know I was in love with such an amazing guy. I told my brother and Dianna about him, with my heart up my throat and trembling hands. Dianna said she would meet him if that's what I wanted despite my brother's pout about the idea.

She told me she felt so happy she was the first one to know about this.

So, my brother and Dianna, met Asher and loved him from the start.
