CHAPTER 27
Eye-opening Advices and Unexpected Sights

As soon as the doorbell rang, I ran to attend it from the kitchen, still covered in flour.

"Hey, Addy!" Asher greeted as Hazel waved from beside him.

"What were you doing?" Hazel asked, lifting up a few strands of my hair that was covered in flour.

"I was baking a cake." I replied with a grin.

"With you head?" Asher asked and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"So, what are guys doing here?" I asked, dusting my hair with my hand.

"We came here to talk to you." Asher said.

"We did?" Hazel asked and Asher nodded.

"About what?" I asked.

"About Blake." He replied and Hazel groaned.

"Seriously, you dragged me here to talk about him?" She asked him.

"I didn't drag you here. You came here on your own will." He chuckled.

"And now I regret it." She rolled her eyes.

"️Hazel, you can wait in the living room till he's done talking." I suggested, "Asher, come with me to the kitchen." I said and he nodded before following me.

"Okay, talk." I ordered as I took the cake batter and started mixing it.

"Are you avoiding Blake?"

"No", I replied.

"Then why does he keep complaining that you're not talking to him."

"I am talking to him. But I decided that it's about time that I put some boundaries."

"Boundaries? Why?" He asked with a frown.

"Because I've been so wrapped up in the fantasy of him and I being together that I keep forgetting that he's not actually mine."

"Addy, you're not wrapped up in a fantasy. Just give him some time to realize his feelings for you."

"That's what I was doing until that day at the diner. I just felt like he was tired of having me around all the time. And I don't blame him. I've been a little too controlling recently."

"He is not tired of having you around, Addy. He loves spending time with you."

"No, he used to love spending time with me." I corrected.

"What do you mean?"

"He said that I changed a lot."

"So?"

"He said that he didn't like that I changed. All of these changes happened after I fell in love with him. My feelings are a burden to him and everything I do to get him just keeps hurting him." I said, "I never wanted to hurt him." I whispered.

"That's not true, Addy. I think that he actually likes your change." Asher said.

"Really?" I asked sarcastically, "What part of it? Me forcing him to stop talking to the girl that he has been obsessing with?"

"Addy, I've told you this before; Terra is just a phase. Stop worrying about her already." He said, "And about what he likes, he told me he liked that you're not with other guys anymore. He likes it when it's just the two of you which is why, he hasn't been with any other girl but you."

"He hasn't been with anybody else?"

"Apparently not. He's happy with just having you, Addy." He said. "He even almost got into a fight with Cole today because of you."
