༄Annie's POV༄

              The building looked to be an average apartment unit, "this is useless" Emily said "not unless we can find the address and find out the use of the unit" Asher says smartly.

"You are so smart"  I saw turning around placing a kiss on his nose. "I'm tired" I say leaning back into Asher. He tightly wrapped his arms around around my waist and found my hands intertwining them.

I looked over to see Emily completely passed out in her chair, "can we go to bed" I said quietly. "Yes my sweet girl" he says kissing my cheek.

His words played in my head, over and over. I wanted to be his sweet girl, I was happy he thought of me that way. Asher walked over to the bed still in his pjs.

I was in a pair of shorts and Ashers sweater that went down to my bony knees. Asher had his arms wide open and I wanted nothing more than to fall right into them, so I did.

I snuggled into his neck. "I want to be your sweet girl forever" I said bravely looking up at him, "then my sweet girl you shall be" he said before kissing cheeks, than my nose and finally after much teasing, he kissed me softly on the lips.

The kiss lasted longer than I had anticipated but I wasn't mad about it. He rolled slightly so he wouldn't crush me. He was being playful and decided to role over and tickle me.

His hands were on either side of my head, I reached my arms up, wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling him down to my level. The side of his cheek was pressed on my face, I kissed his cheek.

It was a perfect moment until my phone started going ballistic. "What's that all about" Asher said resting his head under my chin. "I'm not sure" I say keeping an arm around Asher while I reach for my phone.

When I picked it up it showed an avalanche warning and extreme winds. It said for everyone to stay indoors, "Hey Ash, look at this" I say showing him my phone.

"I-is everything going to be okay" He said in a panic like tone. "It's okay, we're safe, I can feel your heart thumping" I say giggling. "Are you sure?" He asked shaking. "Yes, my love" I said.

"I like that" he said. "You like what?" I asked. "My love" he said with his head still rested under my chin. "Than my love you shall be" I said mocking him from earlier.

"Annie?" He asked. "Yes?" I say. "Whatever I'm about to say, I don't want you to freak out" he says making me curious. "I won't" I reassure. "Annie, I think, I love you" he blurts out.

My heart felt warm for the first time in a while. "I love you too" I said to him. "You do?" He asked looking up at me. "When I got partnered with you, I told myself that I was never going to forgive you, but being with you, made that hard, so I gave in, and it was the best decision I have ever made"

I say with tears in my eyes, he looks up at me again, his eyes were streaming.  He kissed me again. Again with the cheeks, I scrunched up my nose as he pressed his lips against my rosie cheeks.

He wiped under my eyes with his thumbs. "Your perfect" he said before drifting off to sleep. This night was good, he made me feel like myself, which was a feeling I hadn't felt in a really long time.

I felt like everything was at peace. It was
like my entire life I was trying to avoid him, and now I wanted nothing more than to be with him. Life is funny like that.

I was thankful it worked like that, otherwise I don't know what I would do with myself. He's the most gentle caring human I have ever met. I feel bad about how he was brought up, he's always so panicked and I don't want that for him.

Keeping in mind that he hasn't had a panic attack in over two days, which is improvement. I have yet to meet his mom, but I'm sure she is just as lovely as Asher is.

Asher seemed more at peace when he found out his dad was gone, but it's like his getting back at him by finding out what he's really doing.

I'm really hoping that the question that Asher wanted to ask me is if I want to be his girlfriend. The answer would obviously be yes, but I'm hoping that he feels good about asking me.

As I laid there and thoughts went in and out of my head. But one thought stuck. He loves me, he truly loves me, and I love him too.

He's the most precious human to ever exist, he listens and also feels good enough to talk to me about his problems which is key in a relationship.

I'm glad that this is how things are going, I feel happy.
