My Turn

Chapter seven

As I'm getting ready for school, I'm so excited to see Asher again. We've been texting each other for the whole weekend, but I wasn't sure if mom was ready to let me out of her sight again so we couldn't see each other. We have plans to hang out after school today on Park Plaza, the hip hang out spot in Angles.

I told mom I would be going over to Allies and she insisted that Andre would drive me. I finally manage to get her to let me have Allie drive me after explaining how she's let her drive me places for forever and they would know where I was and lots and lots of begging. Yay!

Bio takes too long to come, but I don't focus in any of my other classes because Asher and I are texting each other on our laptops pretending to be taking notes. He says I look beautiful today. Yeah right, he hasn't even seen me today.

Not true! I saw you at the assembly with Allie and you looked stunning.

Oh yeah? What was I wearing?

A light blue off the shoulders dress and your hair is in a braid.

Okay, so maybe he has seen me today. I smile as I think about how he was purposely looking for me at the assembly. I may have looked for him too, but was unsuccessful.

Finally, just as I can't bare to not see his face anymore, it's time for fifth period. I try to hide my excitement as I walk through the door but it's very difficult. Bio used to be the class I dreaded, now it's the class I long for.

"Hey there cutie," Asher says as he sees me and a smile spreads across his face.

"Hey there," I say trying to match his manly voice. He chuckles.

"Ready for our date today?" He asks with the goofiest grin and a wink.

"So ready," I respond smiling back.

"Me too," he tells me as he brushes his hand over mine taunting my body for contact with his. We can't let anyone else find out we are in a relationship, but it's nearly impossible to not look at him that way and to keep from touching each other. Not in a gross way, just like, holding hands or stuff like that. I can tell he's struggling with it too.

After what seems like an eternity, school is out and I rush to Asher's car meeting him there at the same time today. He hands me the blond wig and glasses, necessary accessories this time, and opens my car door for me. Such a gentleman. Then, we drive off to park plaza.

"How have you been?" He asks. "I know we have been texting constantly but like, I don't know, it just seems like I haven't seen you in forever."

"I know!" I say smiling at him. "And ya know, since I got over the wrath of my mother I've been pretty good."

"I'm assuming you didn't tell her about us?" He asks.

"Oh no," I say with a giggle. "I don't want to imagine what she would do to you if she found out. You poor thing, you would never survive."

"Ha!" He chuckles. "So, have you told anyone about us?" He says raising his eyebrows up and down in a suggestive manner that makes me laugh.

"Yeah," I say wondering how he will react to hearing the Queen knows about us. "Just Allie and my sister."

"Woah," he says a little shocked. "The Queen knows about me? Cool."

"Oh, I wouldn't say that," I laugh shoving him a little. "She is so protective of me she's probably done a million background checks on you and has someone following you at all times."

"Well," He says deducing the facts. "If she hasn't put a restraining order on me yet, it sounds to me like she approves!" I laugh as he cranks up the music. We both dance and sing along to the songs looking like lunatics and laughing at each other for the rest of the ride.

As we pull up to Park Plaza I can barley wait to start this amazing date with Asher. I'm sure it will be equally as special as our lasts. And I hope we have many more special dates to come.
