Asher & Julia| 16+✔️

Chapter 48

Asher's POV

Julia laughing with my mother as they walk in front of me, I lock the car doors and follow behind them listening to the bliss of Julia's contagious laugh.

"He would run around wearing my bra at the age of four shouting "Look mummy I have boobies" it was hilarious" my mother tells my girlfriend, I'm completely embarrassed.

"Aright alright" I try shove it off and unlock the door.

My mother had a glass of wine or two at dinner and she's been smiling all night, hasn't stopped since I walked in the door with Julia.

"Do you have photos?" Jules laughs standing by my mum as she unlocks the door.

"I do, I have photos of him in the bathtub too" she giggles, I think she's a little intoxicated.

"Oh god" I shake my head and follow them inside.

"Do you want a drink of wine Julia?" She asks.

Julia glances at me, "I'm not drinking age" she says trying to act like she's innocent.

I've seen her drunk...it ain't pretty.

Mother shrugs, "It's just one drink dear"

"If that's the case..."

"You're not getting!" She points a finger at me.

"Uhm..." Julia looks away from me, "Sure one drink" she smiles.

Mum comes back in the living room holding two glasses of wine as a large photo book is under her arm. She sits down beside Jules and places the two glasses of wine onto the coffee table, she opens the book showing Julia the pictures of Cam and I when we were younger. Jules leans slightly into my mum studying the pictures carefully.

"Look here's the bathtub photo!" Mum enthuses.

Julia giggles and points, "It's.." she stops herself with wide eyes, I know she was about to make an inappropriate joke.

"It's what Jules?" I smirk.

"Nothing" she presses her lips into a thin line holding back her laughter.

"He was so adorable" Julia stares at the pictures, my mother's thumb swipes over my face with a sad smile.

"Now he's all grown up"

And a disappointment...

"Jo!" The front door slams shut, I know that voice from anywhere and I feel my heartbeat increase knowing that Jules is about to meet my sad excuse of a father.

"Ken, what are you doing here?" She leans forward places the glass of wine back into the table and closing the book.

His eyes move from my mum to Julia, I look away unable to look at him.

"Whose this lass?" His Scottish accent thick.

I look at Julia begging her not to speak to him but her eyes are on him, her being the polite she forces out a smile, "I'm Julia, Asher's..."

I cut her off, "Does it matter? What are you even doing here?"

"You can talk, you don't live her the last time I checked" his eyes narrowing towards me.

"Last time I checked neither were you"

"Ken, Ash stop it"

Jules shifts uncomfortable feeling the tension, "So, you're his girlfriend then?" His eyes glued to Julia, I know he's about to tell her some shit I don't want her fucking knowing. I'm happy she doesn't say anything back to him.
