Hidden Love {Finished}

blur

who are we to wonder where we're going? Who am I to tell me who I am. Let's take it back and take in every moment.

“Alright turn left.” I told Asher.
“Are you sure that this restaurant is around here.” He asked.
“I'm sure.”
I wasn't technically lying. We were going to a place with food but its actually  Lilia's party.
“Okay turn right and it should be there.”
Asher turned the corner.
“This isn't a restaurant.”
“Surprise!”
Asher was silent. “Annie no. Please I don't want to go in there.”
“It'll be fun. I promise.”
Asher sat there biting his lower lip and leaning his head on his hand.
“Come on. Please, for me?”
He didn't say anything. He just looked over at me and I frowned.
“Screw it let's go.” Asher unbuckled and parked the car.
“Alright!” I got out of the car and we walked into the house holding hands.

It looked like a party you see in the movies.
Drinking, loud music, and people everywhere.
I started walking but was held back by Asher who didn't want to move. I grabbed his arm with both hands and dragged him in.
“Hey Annie!” Lilia said.
“Hey. Asher this is Lilia, Lilia this is Asher.”
Lilia hugged Asher. “Nice to meet you.”
“Alright so the drinks and food are over there by the pool. Don't be afraid to jump in.” Lilia laughed. Asher faked a smile.
“Thanks.” I said.
I walked over to the table with the food and drinks and Asher followed.
“Hey Maddie.” I greeted. “Hows kenzie?”
“Better. She'll probably finish the year homeschooling.”
I nodded. “Oh this is Asher-”
“Your boyfriend. I've heard about you two. Want a shot?”
I looked at Asher and he shrugged. I grabbed the small plastic cup with pink liquid in it.
“1, 2, 3.” I counted down. At three we both poured it in our mouths.
I looked at Asher and he had the kind of face you have when you eat a lemon.
“Yeah!” He screamed and grabbed another one and we did it all over again 2 times.
By the way Asher was slurring the words I could tell he was drunk. As for me it takes me awhile for the drinks to affect me, like I'm immune or something.

We went on the dance floor for a little bit and Asher definitely had the best moves.
He was dancing his heart out with a circle forming around him when he jumped up and yelled “skinny dipping!”
He started taking off his shirt and pants as did everyone else.
“You coming Anns?” He had the same tone with me like he always does: kind and polite.
“Sure.” I took of my shirt and pants and jumped in the pool with Asher.
We played basketball and volleyball in the pool which was mostly the boys yelling at each other bragging.
It was my turn to serve and I was ready to show everyone how good I was. I threw it up in the air and slapped it across the pool making us gain a point.
“Oh my god Annie! That was amazing!” Asher swam over to me, hugged me and placed a kiss on my lips.
Everyone around us started to scream and whistle.
The rest of the night was a blur of fun. I do remember the part when I was hauling Asher in the car to drive us back to my place knowing his mom would kill both of us if she saw him.
I got home and no one was home which I was happy about because that meant Asher and I could just sleep on the couch.
I probably stayed up till 3am binge watching The Hunger Games while Asher laid on my chest asleep.
It was a good night.
