He's Here [Asa Butterfield fan fic]

Chapter 18

Dianne's POV

         I slowly opened my eyes as the sunshine lighted my whole room. I tossed to the other side of bed; seeing a sleeping Asa. WAIT!!! Asa is sleeping beside me?!

        The memories from last night occurred in my head. I sat up and touched my right cheek if there is still a bruise. "Ouch." I said as I touched my cheek. It still hurts bad.

"Hey, you ok?" Asa suddenly wakes up, probably because he heard me.

"Yeah. I-I just felt my right cheek's bruise." I said.

"Let me look at it." I face him and he comes closer to me. He gently touches the area of the bruise. It stings a bit.

"Don't worry. You still look beautiful." I blushed and giggled from what he said. 

         He sighs and we stare at each other for a while. "I'm gonna go to my room. See you at breakfast." He says. I showed him a thumbs up then he closes the door. 

        I look at my clock on my bedside table. 10:34 am. My parents could be already home. What if they saw Asa sleeping with me? Oh... shoot.

         My stomach grumbles meaning I'm hungry. I swing my legs to the side of the bed and looked at myself in the mirror. I brushed my hair and fixed my clothes.

        WAIT! My clothes! I'm still wearing my dress! I quickly changed my clothes into sweatpants and a baggy sweater so that my parents won't see any bruises. Then put the dress into the laundry bin in my room.

         I went downstairs and saw my parents sitting on the couch, watching TV.

"Morning baby." Mom greets.

"Good morning." Dad said.

"Lunch will soon be ready. But if you're hungry just go get something on the pantry." I nod.

        I went to the kitchen to grab a biscuit and a glass of juice. I went back to the living room and sat with my parents.

"How's sleep? with Asa?" Mom whispers.

"Uhm... ahehe." I awkwardly laughed and felt my face heat up.

        Asa went down the stairs and greeted my parents good morning.

"Dianne, will you please get Asa some snack, he might be hungry." Dad said. I brush off the cracker bits on my thighs then walked to the kitchen. Asa trailed behind.

        I gave him a biscuit and was about to go back but he grabs my shoulder.

"Wait. Did your parents see that?" He points at my cheek where the bruise was.

"Oh shoot. I forgot about this. My parents still haven't noticed it yet, I think." I whisper and he nods. "Let me just think of an idea to cover it."

"I'm going to get my phone upstairs." I said to my parents. Dad points at the table where my phone really was. Great.

"Oh, thanks. I thought it was in my room." I sat back on the couch awkwardly. Ok, Plan B. 

        I acted like I was searching for a ponytail on my wrist but there wasn't at all.

"I'm going to grab a ponytail on my room." I said.

"Here." Mom hands me a ponytail of hers. "Nevermind." I said. Plan C it is. 

"Look's like the food is ready." Dad stands up.
