{Asher's Pov}

I followed Cas out of the restaurant giving the kind waitress a grateful nod and thanking the guard who opened the door for us.

"Now, do we go home?"

"Nope." He said smiling so wide that I could almost see all his teeth.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll know..." He said as the Harvey came to life. He handed me the helmet as I sat behind him rolling my eyes. I was frowning cause of his gestures. They were so more than friendly and yet, all I could think was that I didn't wanna get between him and Josephine.

"Like the ride?" He asked as we hit the road.

"Yeah, I like riding you." I stated as I looked at the passing shops to avoid feeling the butterflies in my stomach. No, you're just on a normal ride with a good friend, this is nothing more than that nor will it be. I kept repeating in my head.

Cason snorted, he actually snorted at my response.

"What? What's so funny about what I said?"

"Nothing Asher, nothing, you just like riding me, that's all."

"Not you dumbo" I said smacking his arm lightly when the realisation dawned on me "Oh no no noo that's not what I meant I meant I like the Harvey, I mean riding it behind you ummm I mean I like your bike and riding on it, it's comfy and I like riding it but I can't ride a bike so I like riding behind you..." I rambled putting a palm on my face to hide my blush.

He chuckled at my response as I wished for a hole to appear and swallow me.

The next part of ride was just a comfortable silence as I sat pressed to Cason's back, completely trusting him to not kidnap me as he took me somewhere. What, I still cared for my parents, what would they do if I got mugged that too by my bestfriend/first love. I shook my head at my thoughts. Cason wouldn't kidnap me, not that I wanted him to.

Finally we stopped in front of an ice cream parlour.

"We're here" he said as he parked the bike.

"Cason, I don't have my wallet with me... Please you've already spent so much on me, that too without any occasion. Please don't waste you're money."

"I'm not wasting it, I told you it's my treat, don't worry about the money, it's not like I'm spending it on an extravagant basis."

"You never listen to me."

"But you always do, so I'm using my power on you to make you have some ice cream."

I crossed my arms and pouted."Nope, I'm not listening to you." I stated flatly.

"Not even if it's choco chip icecream with coffee base?"

"Ummm nooo!!!" I deadpanned covering me ears as Cason pulled me inside the shop.

"There will be an extra scoop too..." He cooed. I couldn't do anything but give in. I hate him for having so much control on me. It's actually  cause you love him my heart said. Ignoring the thought I took the ice cream from him. He took a coconut cream ice cream and we headed out of the shop after he paid the girl at the cash counter.

"Like it?"

"Nah... I love it" I said beaming genuinely. The rest of the desert was eaten by us in silence between us as I sat on the Harvey and Cason talked to a friend from his college about the event the day after tomorrow.
