59- Stalker

"You're so pretty," Asher coos.

I blush. "Thanks."

I pull off my shirt so I can change into the dress.

"I'm still here," Asher says from my phone. "I can close my eyes if you want."

"It's okay, baby. I'm not shy around you anymore."

"I wish I was there with you. I would've kissed you so hard."

"It's only one more day. Reception is today and then we're headed back home tomorrow."

"That's forever," Ash groans. "How was the wedding? You didn't call me yesterday."

"Oh sorry, we were celebrating for a long time. By the time we came up to our room, I was too tired to do anything."

"Is Kavya with Jay?"

"Yeah. She told me they're skipping the condoms," I add with a chuckle.

"Oh boy."

"I feel bad for the people in their neighboring rooms."

Asher laughs. "How loud are they?"

"A few summers ago, we went over and one night they were doing it. I was like 13 or 14 and I definitely knew what it was. Basically, they are loud even when they're being sneaky so imagine now."

"Are you going to get dressed?" Asher asks.

I look up at myself in the bathroom mirror and see that I'm still in my bra and pajama pants.

"Oh right. The reception is in an hour and I have to get ready and then go downstairs," I say.

"An hour is not that much of time. I can hang up if I'm distracting you."

I roll my eyes, playfully. "Just stay. I'm sure you enjoy the view."

"I mean, you look hot no matter what so I always enjoy the view."

I blush again. "I wish you weren't so sweet."

"My mama raised me well, plus you make the Romeo inside me come out."

"I thought Romeo was inside of Juliet," I joke.

"They're both in the ground because they're fucking dead."

I snort. "You didn't have to be that brutal."

"Have you read that book? It's frustrating as fuck."

"And you're cute as fuck."

"Don't change the topic, my beautiful ray of sunshine who I love very very much."

"Don't change the topic," I mock him.

"You're still not changing."

"I'm sorry, you are distracting as hell."

"I'll call you back in half an hour?"

"Okay. I love you."

"I love you too, Chase."

"Bye, baby."

"Bye, beautiful."

He blows me a kiss before ending the call.
