Will I Ever Get My Happy Ending?{On Hold}

~Chapter twenty-one~

--Katherine's POV--

So I'm Asher Collin's girlfriend. Should I be ecstatic or should I think things over and over again once more. The thing is, you guys already know what I feel towards that cat poop, but I'm confused as to why all of a sudden did he ask me to be his girlfriend! I mean there has to be some reason behind it right?

Is he planning on humiliating me in school? If he is then he won't be alive to see tomorrow! I know, from the outside I look like some fragile girl...a weakling but sorry to disappoint you all, I'm not like that. I'm blunt and straightforward, so think a thousand times before messing with me.

It was a typical Monday and I was up in my room getting ready. Today I felt like dressing up, don't ask me why. I had taken out a pair of dark red skinnies with a white and pink striped chemise. My hairstyle for today was a French braid. Since I'm 'dating' that nincompoop, he said its his duty to pick and drop 'his' girl to and fro from school. How sweet of him!

"Honey are you done? Asher is waiting for you in the living room." came my mother's muffled voice through the door. I was just applying my cherry lip-gloss and mascara. I sprayed some perfume and then grabbed my bag and went downstairs to my boyfriend. Just even calling that lame-knuckled goat-fairy my "boyfriend" is weird for me.

"Good morning sweetie." I gave her a smile and gave her a small hug and then grabbed an apple on my way out.

"I don't get a good morning from my own girlfriend? Unbelievable!" And he's still breathing! I stopped midway and turned around to face him. I'd be lying if I say that he looked extra hot today. He was dressed in his dark blue jeans and a coincidentally red t-shirt with 'Bazinga'  written across the shirt in yellow color. His hair was disheveled giving him the total 'I-Just-Got-Out-Of-Bed' look and his eyes were covered with dark sunglasses.

"Checking me out are we?" Asher's lips were pulled into that arrogant smirk of his, which I'm starting to like. I scoffed and said, "Why the hell are you wearing sunglasses inside the house? You look retarded."

He ignored my question and came forward to hug me. This time, I hugged him back but soon we were broken by the little pitter-patter of feet coming down the stairs. Behold, the devils have arrived.

"Kathy! Ashi!"

I laughed at the horrified look on Asher's face but let out a weird 'oomph' as one of the girls wrapped themselves around my leg and I fell down sideways. I quickly pulled her off and stood up. Asher was busy spinning Becca in circles while she was giggling like a mad girl. The sight made my heart warm, these girls never got the love from people who should've given them the love they needed.

"Kathy? Why is Ashi here?" I looked down to see Rachael looking up at me with questioning eyes. Before I could answer her, the deflated air balloon answered her himself.

"I'm here to take Katherine to school, princess." Both the girls suddenly ran up to him and jumped in his arms, hugging him tightly. At first Asher was shocked but then he recovered from the shock and hugged them back equally tight. I smiled at the scene before me and my smile grew even wider when Asher unwrapped one arm from their waist and signaled me to join the hug.

Without any protest, I went and joined the warm hug my boyfriend was giving. My head was resting on Becca's back and I controlled myself from not crying at the warm gesture.

"Well doesn't this look cozy." I broke away from the hug and saw my mother standing with a smile on her lips. Asher put the girls down and smoothed down his wrinkled t-shirt. He gave my mom his dazzling smile and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I tried to shrug it off but his one hand weighs more than this whole house!
