-Asher's POV

"What are you doing here" I asked looking at them confused.

"You really don't listen do you? We told you we were having dinner with a friend."

I scratch the back of my neck and smile. "Dad, can I come in?"

"Sure son." He outstretches his arm and begins walking back to the living room. In the living room I see my mom sitting on the couch with Drake sitting in a chair nearby. They are all drinking and talking. My father goes back and sets back down next to my mom. I continue to stand at the door entrance.

"It's good to see you again Asher." Drake says raising his glass towards me. I nod my head but turn back around trying to look up the stairs. I hear snickering so I look back and find my parents and Drake staring at me. "They are upstairs if you want to go see them."

"Thank you." I say while beginning to walk away. I make my way to Eva's room but she is not in there. I continue on towards Cara's room. I peak in and see Eva & Leila laying down on her sister's bed while Cara is throwing clothes out of her closet.

"Eva, this isn't funny! I seriously have nothing to wear." Cara says walking out of her closet throwing her hands up in defeat. Leila gets up and walks back into the closet pulling Cara by the arm with her. I knock on the door gently before walking in.

"Hey Eva." She sits up abruptly and turns towards me.

"Hey Asher, what are you doing here?" I go and sit down next to her.

"You didn't answer your phone when the call got dropped."

"Oh, I'm sorry Cara-"

"Hey don't blame me!" Cara yells from inside her closet.

"My phone dropped and broke. I'm sorry." She says putting her hand on mine. Such soft skin. I rub my thumb on the backside of her hand.

"Hey Asher, what do you think?" Cara says walking out of her closet. I turn and look at her. She is wearing a pair of high waisted fitted jeans with black boots and a white V neck shirt with a leather jacket. It looks like something Eva would wear instead.

"You look good Cara, honestly Parker would like anything you wear." She smiles brightly before her cheeks become slightly pink. Leila walks out behind her staring at me. Then she looks down at Eva's and mine hands interlocked. She smirks before leaning over to Cara's ear. Cara sighs and walks over to her purse to grab out a $20 then hands it to Leila. Leila sticks her tongue out at her sister. "She bet me that Eva would give you a chance." I smirk before realization hits me.

"Cara you didn't think she would?" I ask her which she just shrugs.

"She hasn't ever given a guy a second glance other than.." Cara trails off after looking at Eva who is shooting daggers at her sister. "Anyways Parker should be here any minute so I'm going to get going."

She is pointing over her shoulder. Eva stands up and walks over to Cara's night stand and grabs out something handing to her. I stand up and peak over Eva's shoulder to see a dagger. Wait-What?!? I take the dagger but Eva is quick and snatches out of my hand to hand it back to Cara. Cara sticks it in her purse and gives Eva a quick kiss on the cheek before grabbing Leila's hand and drags her out of the room. What just happened?

"Eva, why did you Cara a dagger?" I turn back to her.

"To keep your friend in line." She says nonchalantly causing me to go wide eyed. Shit, better tell Parker to be good. "Don't worry."

"Should I be?" I ask while stepping closer to her. I wrap my arm around her petite waist.

"That dagger is nothing compared to mine." I abruptly freeze which causes Eva to giggle. "Worried now?"
