This part of the story will be in ASHER'S POV
Asher's Pov
I'm so freaking tired. I just didnt see the necessity to travel to Cape Town for a family dinner, seriously! I mean we could have simply found a nice restaurant in town and just settled there but no! mum and aunt Tessa likes to go extravagant. Who am I to complain, it it makes my mum happy then it's fine, I'll go to Alaska if that's what she wants but she wouldn't think about that right??.
Plopping on bed, I decided to take a nap before going to Justin's place. I didn't even close my eyes for 10 minutes then I heard screaming, but I thought it was mum watching one of her chick-flick movies again then I heard the sound of something breaking and a child's scream. That doesn't sound like a movie. Running down stairs, I saw my mum sitting on the Kitchen island with a cup of coffee in her hand.
Mum! What's going on? I heard screaming and sounds of stuff breaking.
It's coming from the house next to us. She looked extremely tired, I know she couldn't sleep with all the screaming and shouting. I had to do something.
I'll be right back, I called as I made my way towards the door.
Asher just leave them it's al... but then I slammed the door before she completed her sentence.
I made my way to the house next to us. I think they just moved in, seeing as I didn't see Mr Marcus's car anywhere. He did tell me they were moving out. I was just to busy to notice they've moved out and another family moved in.
Just as I was about to knock the door, it opened and a familiar brown eyes stared at in surprise and what seems to look like anger.
What are you doing here? She asked as she wiped her tears with the sleeve of her cloth.
I, I, pinching the bridge of my nose, I need to compose myself.
I heard someone screaming, then I thought maybe someone was in danger or someone had died so I decided to come check.
I wished it was the latter, she muttered in what was supposed to be a whisper but I heard anyway and I wasn't going to question her any further, she looked upset as it is.
Hmmm, do you maybe wanna come over to my house, it looks like you're in bad mood and you could use a cup of coffee or something? I was nervous but I didn't show it. I think it's a kind of talent. I internally wished she'd say yes.
Sure! I need to get away from here anyway, she spoke softly.
Alright let's go. We made it inside and my mum was already watching Drop Dead Diva. She looked up, and her eyebrows scrunched in what seem like a questioning look. The kind that says aren't you gonna introduce me.
Rolling my eyes at her, I finally spoke out.
Mum, this is Davina
Davina, this is my mum. I introduced them both.
Nice to meet you Mrs Storm, Vina spoke with a smile in her face.
Oh please dear call me Jenny, mum corrected as she gave her a warming hug.
You're welcome here anytime.
Thanks Jenny.
Lets go, I spoke as I pulled her upstairs toward my room.
So this is the bad boy's room, she looked in awe.
Bad boy? I eyed her in confusion
You have a reputation at college Asher!
Chuckling at her response, don't believe everything you hear Vina.
She just shrugged at my response before settling on my bed with her legs crossed.
She looked lost, she kept staring at her fingers. I decided to relive the tension.
I actually think you have more a reputation than I have.
Huh?! She looked confused
I mean the thing with Samantha, I revived the memory.
She laughed! She looks beautiful when she laughs.
She did deserve it you know, she was being such a bitch and I just put her in her place . She needs to learn not to pokenose. Your girlfriend is too clingy.
She's not my girlfriend. I snapped
Geez sorry! She raised her hands in a surrendering manner. It's not my fault, she sticks to you like a bubble gum so I assumed she is.
I'm sorry for snapping, I apologized.
It's cool. She gave me a small smile. We talked for a long time, we got to know each other alot more.
I know this too much to ask Asher but do you mind if I stay here for the night, I don't really wanna go home right now? She asked.
I was surprised but happy at the same time.
Sure ! Thanks alot Asher, I owe you one.
We watched movies and played game before we both fell asleep with our hands drapped around each others waist protectively.
