--Katherine's POV--

I stood where I was, squished to the wooden platform and just stared at Asher who had a mischievous glint in his eyes and some sort of emotion which I couldn't put my finger on. I know I feel something towards him, but a date?

"Hello? Anyone in there?"

The light tapping of his forefinger on my head snapped me out of my day- well night dream. I blinked a couple of times and stood up straighter.

"Uh, a date? Couldn't you come up with something I don't know, less date-y?" His eyes narrowed and he closed the distance between us even more. My back was fully against the platform with his six foot two form towering me. The way his breathing was ragged and the way his nose flared and his eyes glared at me, made me feel guilty all of a sudden.

Why am I feeling so guilty when I haven't even done anything wrong? Why do I feel so nervous as he asked me, no wait, more like demanded me to go on a date with him? Ugh! This is just too fishing stinky!

"Less date-y? Look here babe, you wanted me to be gay and I did that. Now that I'm telling you to come on a date, you're backing off? The hell?"

Suddenly all traits of being guilty drowned and slight anger coursed through my body. I mustered all the energy I had and gave his chest a firm push which caused him to stumble back. He gave me a shocked look but then that lazy smirk etched on his face.

"Shut up you weasel! And as for the date, NO. Go on a date with one of the other barbies." With that being said, I made a move and was just a few steps away from the porch when I was roughly pulled into his muscular chest.

"I don't take 'no' for an answer hot stuff. If I want something, then I definitely get it." His warm breath hit my exposed neck making me squirm under his firm grasp. This baboon is so friggen strong that it annoys me! Hmph!

"Let me go you crooked frog's leg! Or else I'll scream."

I was expecting a comeback or an insult but I didn't expect him to laugh. The crazy loon actually laughed at me while I was caged in his arms.

"Do you actually think that I'll let you go just like that without getting back at you? Think again hot stuff." I huffed and puffed and wriggled but he held me still. Sighing in defeat, I turned in his arms so that we were face to face. Up close, he looked so delicious! Excuse me, its way past my bed time so that's why I'm saying all this rubbish.

"If I say 'yes' will you let me go?" He gave me a nod in response. What's the worst that can happen anyway? People will see us and then spread rumors in school? A jealous ex-fling of his crashing in our way and insulting me? Psh! I don't have the stamina for all this stuff but I have to pay the consequences right?

At least he isn't making me do anything embarrassing nor is he insulting me. After finally making up my decision, I bored into his blue eyes and said, "Yes. I'll go on that date with you but I swear to chucky cheese mouse, that if you try to do something sly, I'll kill you Collins!"

"You don't have to worry about that babe. A date with me is a dream come true."

I scoffed at his over-inflated ego. Talk about confidence! I was starting to get cold and no, it was not winter but the nights do get slightly chilly. And I was wearing a light white t-shirt with my pajamas.

"You got your answer, now get lost. I have to sleep you owl!" He chuckled and ruffled my hair to which I playfully slapped his shoulder. Me being playful with this donkey is quite shocking isn't it? Don't worry, it's just a one time thing.

"Well then babe, see you tomorrow. I'll pick you up at seven sharp. Be beautiful for me hot stuff! Oh and pack some extra clothes too." With a warm hug, he strode back to his hole. Right as he entered his house, his words registered in my head. Extra pair of clothes?!
