Asher's POV
I don't understand, why won't she just accept me. She's trapped between a wall and death, and yet she's trying to climb the wall.
Im not that bad am i? i've done nothing to make her fear me, but maybe it's the future she fears. Her freedom and dreams are being stripped from her.
"hey, how we do a trial? like a 30 day fiancé thing? and during that time we will protect you. You can leave and cut off the wedding at anytime. I promise." I touch her arm, rubbing it in a smoothing manner.
"really? You mean it?" Her eyes soften, no longer in defense mode they were in a moment ago.
"Of course, but we will follow the contract rules during this trial. So you get a taste of the life, okay?" I lay on the bed, signaling her to lay next to me.
Slowly but surely, she laid next to me. Resting her hand on my chest, I held her in my arms. She must be overwhelmed, has to be. She's being told to marry me in order to protect herself and her mother.
I start to play with her hair and she starting to fall asleep on me. I tried my best to take my shoes off with my feet, trying not to move to much. She needs sleep, but i really need these damn shoes off.

Waking up, i realize she's not with me. She must be in the bathroom or something. I head to the door, and once i open it i'm engulfed in a delicious smell of french toast and coffee.
"hey sleepy head, hungry?" Andy says holding up a plate. She's in shorts and a oversized t-shirt that say "sunny".
"Always." I flirt, looking her up and down. only to get a swat on the head by her.
"For food you idiot!" She scowls, walking about to the kitchen putting the plate on the counter.
"Jeez women, you didn't need to hit me, you know?" I rub my head.
"how do you like your coffee?" She ignores me and continues with breakfast.
"Uh I can help." I walk over and grab two mugs.
I began adding sugar and creamer to mine, but pause because I don't know what she's likes in hers.
"How about you? How would you like your coffee?" I ask, stirring my drink.
She reaches towards the cabinet, pulling out cinnamon and handing it to me before walking to the fridge.
"A dash of cinnamon along with sugar and creamer, and to top it off," She hands me whip cream, "whip cream!" Andy smiles up at me.
"Sweet tooth I see." I grab it and go to make her coffee.
"Something like that." She continues making eggs and bacon.

"So this is the last day of public school?" She frowns.
Currently we are on our way to school. Our parents decided it'd be best to do homeschooling for now. It's our last year, so it's not that big of a deal... to me.
"Yes, sorry dear, but it's for extra precaution." I park and kiss her head.
"I understand." She gets out before i can unbuckle.
"dang it! it wasn't even my idea!" i think out loud as she walks through the school doors.
Andy's POV
"Precautions my as-"
"Hey andy!" Cameron walks up to me, his smile bigger than ever.
"Hey Cam, how are you?" I ask walking to my locker.
"Good good, jusy bored every weekend. Say... why don't you let me take you on a date this saturday?" He quipped, leaning against locker.
"Ehm, i'm not sure, you see i kinda have a-"
"Fiancé." Asher deadpanneds behind me.
I felt me cheeks heat up with embarrassment and anger. I didn't think we'd be telling people. I've been here less than a month and i'm getting married to asher. I can't even explain why i am to others. Fucking asher.
"Andy is that true, sorry but it's a little absurd don't you think?" Cameron's voice gets a nervous high tone. His face morphed with anger, confusion, but mostly hurt.
"Uh yeah, something like that." I scratch the back of my neck.
"Oh, well congrats i guess." Cameron walks away.
Turning around I punch Ashers arm. How dare he. I feel like we should have discussed this.
"Owe, whats with you and hurting me?" He whines, rubbing his arm.
"What's with you and pissing me off?" I say walking away.
"Hey hey! hold up! Put this on, now." He grabs me hand and puts a ring on it.
"it's a engagement ring, i want you to wear it everywhere. After school we'll go meet my dad to discuss everything. Okay?" Asher says holding my hand.
"Uh yeah yeah sure." I stare in disbelief at the beautiful ring on my finger.
"I can tell you the history of the ring on the way to dads. but for now let's go to class." He kisses my forehead before leading me to first period.
________
"The ring was passed down from generation to generation. My great grandma gave it to me. Me being an only child I had to find a queen now or later. Back to the ring, my mom wore that when my dad purposed. Even though this isn't your ideal wedding idea, i do hope you can accept me." Asher says, eyes focused on the road ahead of him.
"I-" i was cut off from my phone ringing.
Jakeb? Why is he calling?
"Do you mind if i take this real quick?" I ask.
"No go ahead I guess." He clenches his jaw.
"He-"
"YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED? AND YOU DIDNT TELL ME! AND ITS TO FUCKING ASHER! THEE ASHER? SPILL!" Jakeb yells into the phone.
Moving my phone back I reply, "Well there's nothing to tell, me and asher are getting married. Just uh the usual high school lovers." I nervously chuckle.
"BULLSHIT BITCH! YOU HAVENT EVEN KNOWN THE GUY FOR A YEAR! ILL CALL BACK LATER, AND YOU BETTER SPILL IT." Jakeb hangs up.
"He's loud." Asher chuckles.
"You both are." I reply.
