༄Annie's POV༄

I walked out of the bathroom to see Asher sitting oddly close to my phone, with a huge smirk on his face, "Asher, what did you do?" I say squinting at him.

I decided to run for my phone before Asher grabbed it and started running. He held it up high so I couldn't reach, I reached my hand up so I could reach it but Asher started tickling me.

"Ahhhhh stop, I can't take it anymore" I said between laughs. "What do I have to do to get my phone back. He thought for a second. "Kiss me" my face went from smiling to shock. "What?" I said surprised. "You really want me to kiss you?" I asked.

"Yeah, I do" He said. So I kissed him. It lasted for about thirty seconds, not that anyone was counting, sparks flew. "Sorry that was my first kiss,I don't really know how this goes" I said honestly.

"Shut up, here's your phone" he says laughing, "what's so funny" I said with a pouty face. "Nothing, your just adorable" he says sitting down on the bed.

I walked over to my side of the bed and laid down, and I thought, what if Asher really did like me? Or would I be just another hook up. He's really protective and wanted me to kiss him, so...

I looked over at Asher on his phone, I couldn't help but notice his lock screen. It was a picture of me. What the heck, this is insane. I never imagined in a million years that the possibility of Asher liking me, would be true.

"Is that me on your home screen?" I said subtly. "Pfft no" Asher said in a sarcastic tone. I gave him a "really" look and he got the memo. "Wanna know a secret?" I said, he nodded. I showed him my home screen which was a picture of him.

He smiled and leaned his head on my shoulder. "Are you okay?" He said. "Yeah,of course, why wouldn't I be?"  I asked confused. "You had your first kiss with me?" He said looking down. "I did" I said making him looking up.

"And I wouldn't want it to be with anyone else" I said looking at him, "you mean that?" He asked. "Yeah, I mean that." I sweetly said.

Goosebumps rose on my arms, Asher being the observer he is, he notices. "Are you cold, take my sweater" he says kindly. "Fine, I know your not going to let me say no" I say taking the sweater from Asher, he was left with with no shirt.

"That bruise looks better" I say taking a closer look. "Does that hurt?" I say pressing on it lightly, "yeah" he says shakily. "It's okay, it's okay," I say hugging him.

"What was going on to make him do that?" I asked. "You don't have to answer, I was just wondering" I said trying to relieve the pressure.

"He was drunk, and I came home late from school because I had football practice." He said shaking his head.
"And where was your mom during all of this?" I asked getting more angry.

"She was at work, she still doesn't know, I'm worried that If I told her, my dad will find out and hurt her, Annie I was so scared to go on this trip in fear that he might do something to her while I'm gone, she's all I have left" he said trembling between words. I cupped his cheeks and wiped his tears off.

"I've called her every single day since we've been here." I thought for a second. That's why Asher didn't want to say yes to moving into my house, it was because he couldn't leave his mom.

He started to breath heavily again, "Asher it's okay, your okay, your mom is okay" I say I'm attempt to calm him down. I rub his back a few times, his back was warm, but not fever warm.

"Deep breaths" I say as he finally calmed down. He laid his head back onto the pillow and took one last heavy breath before going back to regular breathing. "That one was bad," he sighed putting a hand on his chest. "It was physically draining, I feel like I'm going to pass out" he says closing his eyes.

"Sleep" I say running my fingers through his hair. Poor thing, he can't get a break. His head was in the crook of my neck.

I kissed his cheeks and slowly closed my eyes, drifting off into what I thought was a deep sleep, but five minutes later I woke up with a thought. I've fallen. And I don't know how I'm going to get out.

But now that I know that, I don't know how to act around him. Its one thing when he's sleeping, but I don't know what I'm going to do when he's awake.

My heart started beating rapidly. "Why is your heart beating so fast?" Asher said picking his head up looking at me. "No reason, it's ok, go back to sleep."

Asher laid back down. "Annie your heart is thumping, are you okay?" Asher said laying his hand just under my shoulder.

"Is something bothering you?" He asked. "I was just thinking, that's all" I said trying not to worry him. "About what?" He asked.

"You" I said. Ok, I totally surprised myself saying that. He looked at my lips then back at my eyes. I kissed him. Again. It lasted longer than the other one.

I don't know what possessed me to do what I did. Asher seemed taken back at first,but eventually leaned into it. My hands rested on his cheeks, while his wrapped around my neck.

We slowly pulled away. Our faces still inches apart. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't-" I frantically said. Asher cut me off by kissing me again, ok so this is pretty great.

Asher pulled away from my lips and kissed my cheeks making me scrunch my nose. "Your cute" he says kissing my nose again. And then he hugged me. I kissed his cheek one more time before closing my eyes and falling asleep happily.
