His lips were on mine. My mind was blank, all that surrounded us was a blur, and it was like a focused lens, only focused on us. I couldn't process. His warm hands softly caressed my cheeks, and I suppressed a moan. I realised we were kissing in front of my dad's grave, which was pretty awkward, even if he was six feet under. I believed that he was watching.

I pulled apart and Ash might have taken the wrong idea.

"sorry, u-uh I didn't mean to.." he rambled.

"no, not that. we're, um kissing, in front of uh my dad's uh grave,"

"oh, yeah, right."

We sat there in silence, but this time it wasn't peaceful. It was awkward. It could have been a stupid, lame kiss to him. Yet, to me, it was the most amazing thing ever. How my stomach tingled and tickled when his lips touched mine. How my hands and legs were jelly when he kissed me. How I was thankful for the fact that I was on the ground, cause if I was standing, I would have fell to the ground. How I wish we could stay with our lips locked together forever. But to him, it was probably just a simple other kiss.

"Cassie?" Ash snapped me out of my thoughts.

"hmm?"

"will you, uh, be my girlfriend?" he asked sheepishly.

Did I hear him correctly? I was still so caught up with the kiss, I was probably hallucinating. He would never ask me to be his girlfriend. I mean, I'm Cassie Flizz. I'm the outcast, the nobody. How and why would he want me to be his girlfriend? Could this be a sick little joke he was playing? As much as I wanted to believe it was true, it seemed so hard to. It was like the words he said was a joke.

"pardon?" I asked.

"will you, Cassie, be my girlfriend?"

OKay, two times in a row and I hear the same thing. This can't be true.

"is this some sick joke? because it's not funny," I deapanned.

"no, I'm serious"

"no way,"

"yes way," he smiled.

My heart raced. It beat faster than it ever had. And it was all because Ash wanted me to be his girlfriend. His girlfriend!

"yes!" I exclaimed.

"yes?"

"yes,"

"yes!" he exclaimed, hugging me tightly.

This was a little weird though. Because he asked me out in front of dad, in front of someone who was suppose to warn guys not to touch me, not to hurt me and not to bring me home late. But somewhere in my heart, I knew he was happy for me, because I was happy.

Dad had always been a caring person. He had the biggest, kindest heart of all. He always put people before himself, which always made him look like the hero. Dad never wanted people to think he was all high and mighty, he was just who he was. He was my dad, my hero, my friend, my father. He was the one who read me bed time stories when mom was exhausted from work, because he loved her so much he couldn't bare to let her stay up any later, even when he was tired too. He always tried making me happy, as well as mom, and he would always succeed. Dad had a super power, and that was to put a smile on my face.
