My Life With My Best Friend's Brother

Chapter 14

I woke up to the sun shining in my eyes and a tight arm around my waist. I groaned and twisted around so my back was to the sun. The grip around my waist tightened and I was pulled to a warm, hard chest. Asher’s familiar scent flared in my nose and I let myself smile and snuggled into him.

“I missed you.” I whispered and kissed his bare shoulder before I slid out of his arms. Once I was to my feet I let out a yawn as well as a stretch. Looking behind me I saw Asher’s peaceful face, he looked so adorable it was unreal. I shook my head sleepily and ran my fingers through my hair. I picked out a dress I packed and put my hair into a bun before I took a key off the table and left the room. I was hungry so I decided to get some food for me and Asher.

The buffet was huge! The rest of the guys were already in there, along with Grace, Adam and Scarlet.

“Hey, babe.” Chris called out from the table, “Sleep well?” He asked. I heard laughing and I turned to glare at all of them but Hunter, like always, was already on it. I shrugged and grabbed two plates and began filling them with food.

“She’s-” Asher came in out of breath, still in his underwear. He stopped talking when his eyes meet mine. His scared, worried eyes filled with relief and he took three giant steps to wrap me in his arms. “You scared the shit out of me.”

“I was justing getting you breakfast.” I told him, “I’m sorry I scared you.”

He didn’t say anything, he just smiled and took his plate out of my hand. He kissed my cheek and entwined our fingers together as he pulled me along with him, back down the hall.

Once we were in our room Asher took my plate from me and set it on the table before he came back to me. His fingers traced my jaw and my breathing hitched as he tilted my chin up so he could look me in the eyes.

“Don’t leave me again.” He whispered placing a piece of hair behind my ear as he held my eyes.

“You thought I left you?” I whispered back.

He nodded, “I’m always scared you’re going to leave me. One day you’re going to realize that you can do so much better than me.”

I shook my head, “You’re the best that’s out there, if anything I’m scared you’re going to find someone else way better.”

“That’s crazy talk.” He shook his head, “You everything I need.”

My heart seemed to beat rapidly at that and the intensity of our stare seem to increase a ten fold. I serious think we would have stayed like that all day if we could, but alas we could not. A knock on the door made both of us groan in annoyance but the more we left the person unattended the more urgent the knocking sounded.

Finally, Asher made his way to the door and threw it open, not bothering to hide his irritation. “What?” He growled.

“Ready?” I heard Levi ask at the door, “He’s going to call back in like ten minutes.”
