The Horse, The Friend, and The Bad Boy

Chapter Five: Love Letters

After school, Hayden and I were hanging out at my house. We were playing Star Stable on my labetub. After a bit of galloping in the game, my phone buzzed. It was Asher! I open it to see that it was a Snapchat from him. I turn towards Hayden, my phone was off to his left side, so he couldn't see what I was doing. I open the Snapchat, and... oh. My. God. I should've been sitting on a towel because what I saw was a picture of Asher's abs and the caption "what's up?". I saved the photo. Then I sent him a picture of my face, and say "nm how r u?". He then sent me a message.

Asher: why did u save that???????

Me: for l8r (winking face)

Asher: ok

I left him on open for a bit and watched Hayden play Star Stable. Then, after about twenty minutes I texted him back. 

Me: nm, hbu????

Asher: just sitting at home, listening to xxxtentacion

Me: rlly? i love his music 

He then left me on open and I went back to hanging out with Hayden. "Who were you talking to?" he asked, suspiciously. "This guy from my work, he's so stupid," I answer, rolling my eyes, but smiling. He then paused the game and looked at me, seriously. "Last time you said that you were talking about Daniel Murphy. And you had a crush on him!" "Well... I think he's cute," I confessed. "But he's super mean and I don't like it," I said with a smile. He looked at me concerned. "You glow when you talk about him..." Hayden said, in a dim voice. He then turned back to the computer for a moment or two, before saying: "I should be getting going." He got up and then left. 

Later that night, I called my mom who lives in California. I talked to her twice a week, and I told her all about my crush. She told me I should go for it. So the next day, I plan to ask Asher out on a date. 

The next day came and at school, I tried to talk to him. But either he ignored me, or there was an entire wall of girls blocking my way. Eventually, I gave up, but when I got home that same day, I tried to message him on Snapchat, but he just opened it and didn't reply. "UGH."

At work, when he was cleaning out one of the stalls, I entrapped him in it, by locking the door. He then turned around and realized it was locked. "WHAT THE FUCK, BITCH?" He yelled. "Open the door!" He bellowed. His pitchfork, covered in poop. "Why are you ignoring me?!" I asked, my arms crossed. "Because you're a crazy bitch!" He answered. "What, no I'm not!" "Yeah, you are! Only crazy bitches lock people in stalls!" "Oh!" I said, flustered. I guess he had a point. I then went over to opened up the stall, but then stopped myself. "No. I'm not gonna open it until you tell me why you've been ignoring me." "I. Just. Did." He insisted, grinding his teeth on his words. His green eyes looked at me so aggressively. They were sharp and wide. I wasn't sure if he was going to pin me to the ground and beat me up or make love to me. Either way, I definitely had a lady-boner. 

"I know you're not being honest. Tell me, why are you ignoring me!" He was silent for a moment. His mouth tight, and his eyes glistened. "I'm busy with school." "No, you're not!" I quickly retorted. "You barely even show up to school, let alone do homework. So it's not like you're too busy to message me back." He went silent than he said to me: "Fine, but if I'm gonna be in here, please grab my smokes  in my leather jacket. "No," I protested. "not until you're honest with me." 'I'm not telling you shit, bitch. Now grab me my fuckin' smokes." He said, grinding his teeth. "That kind of language isn't gonna get anything out of me," I said with a wink, sticking out my tongue. "Woman! I don't have time for your games! Open the fucking stall." 

He then began aggressively shaking the stall door. It was then, Lucy ran over, because of all the commotion. "Moss, open the door." "Silly, how'd you get locked in the stall!?" She gasped. "Because of psycho bitch, here." Asher pointing at me. To say my feelings were hurt is an understatement. But I acted like it didn't affect me. Lucy opened the door, and Asher stepped out. He then looked at me wide-eyed. And once Lucy left, he grabbed me and pinned me against the wall. He looked intensely at me. His jaw sharp, and those gorgeous eyes, staring so passionately at me. God, I really hope you want to make love to me. He then said in a growl, "Ever do that again, and you'll see what happens." He was less than an inch away from my face. I wanted to kiss him so bad, but I was afraid of what he'd do if I did.

Later that night, after I was done with the pillow. I started listening to 'i love you' by Billie Eilish on Spotify. And I fell asleep thinking about his strong arms, pinning me against the wall.
