When Water Meets Fire (COMPLETED) 13/13. #WATTYS2019

Chapter 13.Unreplaceble.

I rested my arms on the railing, looking at the peaceful view. My teal curtains billowing around me as the icy wind blew. I took in a deep breath but I found it difficult to do so.

''My feeling does not make any sense'' I said out loud, hoping that would help ease the confusion

''Then let's talk about it'' Asher said from behind, starling me so much I nearly jumped off my balcony

''How did you get in?'' I asked after I found my voice

''You left the door unlocked'' He stood beside me. He managed to tame his unruly hair with gel but still few strands of hair managed to get loose.

I reached for his hair and messed it up. He smacks my hand away with his bandaged arm.

''It looks better this way'' I shrugged leaning closer to him, sliding my palm on the painted railing.

''You have a preference on my style'' He smirked and twirled a wild strand of my hair

''Of course I do, babe'' I replied referring to the kidnaping, if you could call it that.

He laughed brightly and tilted this head down to so that our faces are inches apart.

''You never replied to one of the confession I made to you in the cell'' He stated slowly

I knew what he was talking about but I decided to play hard to get and push it.

''You were under a drug influence. Opium to be exact. I ran a test in the laboratory. You didn't know what you were saying'' I faced the view to avoid his gaze and bit my bottom lip.

He turned my chin to face him again and his hand felt so soft under my skin. I could see his eyes had a twinkle in them and his face lit up.

''I meant it. I love you Dahlia Aqua Milan. I love you loads.''

''I love you too Asher Flame Evans''

I never thought I would say those words out loud. It felt as if a firework just went off in my heart. Asher took my chin and lean in and that's when Cathy walked in.

''I hope I'm not interrupting something'' She sings in a playful manner

''Nothing, nothing at all'' Asher replied with his cheeks flustered and he ran his fingers through his hair.

''Asher invited our team over. They are waiting downstairs. Care to join us?'' Cathy stood behind the French doors.

''We will be down in just a minute'' I shot Asher a death glare. He invited people over into my house with my knowledge?!

''If you say so.'' Cathy winked in my direction before she went downstairs

''I thought you would want some company. It's been weeks since the incident and you are still dazed'' Asher blurted out, throwing his hands up in surrender.

''Fine' 'I agreed hastily ''But I want everyone out before seven''

''Consider it done'' He pulled me closer to his well-built body ''Now where were we''

I'll never get enough of his pink lips

And that's when the water meets the fire

Epilogue

''Visitors are only allowed in from 2pm until 6pm'' The security huffed out after we reached the counter.

''See, Dahlia? We should head home now. 'My mom tugged on my arm hurriedly
