Underneath

👉" chapter 11" : Lost, lust and hurt

         Walking out of the lot after a gruesome practice Asher wastes no time in heading for the lot and getting into his corvette. After slamming the door , quite harder than intended he rests his head on its wheels and releases a long sigh.

            He has been distracted for some time now avoiding his friends , put the t.v on cartoon Network then goes straight to his room and lounges there till God knows when, at least his mom gave him kisses on the cheek for his help, though he hates to admit it ,Zara was right.

      Since he started paying more attention to his siblings , he learnt that Shawn liked the green Powerpuff girl saying she's super awesome, Shaney hates snow white because her singing irks her, the twins share a mutual liking for spider man because of his name 'peter Parker' hence the reason for their spider man nighties , bed spread, towel, and room colour.

         He also learnt that Shawn loves to sleep in his bathtub more than his bed and Shaney is apparently a night crawler.

         He remembered trying to sneak out so he could have a night run around the neighborhood, after spending nearly two hours on running , jogging, strolling, he returned home all sweaty to behold Shaney in all her spidery glory as she attacked him with ropes in both hands screaming bloody murder, let's just say his quiet sneak out got exposed since his parents rushed down the stairs in haste asking what the problem was.

Shaney explained that she thought he was some kind of criminal, and both parents concluded that they had to take Shaney to a doctor because of her weird sleeping patterns, her teacher has complained nonstop about it, she's a sleeper by day and a crawler by night.

Asher got snapped out of his thoughts as he sees sal jog into the lot, his mouth looked like he was calling out to someone , he winds his car window and is about to answer but stops when Zara steps out from a group of cars.
         " Hey zee" sal greets as he stops Infront of her, oblivious to Asher's eavesdropping.
         "Salvador, how you doing?" Zara replies, her hands taking off the headset over her ears, asher takes note of the fact that she seems to always have that thing with her.

" When will you stop calling me that??" Sal asks , his sun burnt nose scrunched in a scowl.
     "When will you ever stop sleeping around?" Zara retorts.

"Okay, fair question, but FYI Im not a man whore, I just have my moments"he replies with a shrug.

       "I never called you one, so it's either you've got a guilty conscience or you've got a guilty conscience, so....whatever makes you sleep at night Sally boy"

       " You are basically not giving me any options here, and again Sally boy?,really?, Your name spoiling ability just skyrocketed, any ways that's not my reason for calling zara"

     "I kinda figured, so what's up" she asks , her right brow raised in expectation.
      " Thelma hasn't called nor texted me in days , no emails or voicemails, no pink sticky notes on my windshield or paper planes shaped letters"

     "Wasn't that what you wanted Salvador?, You mad all of a sudden?,or do you miss her?" Zara asks with a tiny smirk on lips.

     "Am fucking excited, it's like I can smell freaking captain America right now cause all I smell is FREEDOM!!, Bitches fucking FREEDOM," sal booms , his eyes wide arms apart, smile practically reaching his forehead.

       "All I smell is someone who needs a shower and not just sprays of axe " she says taking a step back to emphasis her point.
          " How did you even know I just applied deodorant without a bath?,dosent matter anyways, but how did you do it, it's almost like she never knew me, infact I'm indebted to you, you know my guys actually thought I was done for, saying her brother's gonna kick my ass and she'll probably kill me before my time"
