No one is innocent here

"Curiosity killed the cat,
Cooper."

Even though they'd known each other since childhood, she'd always called him by his last name. Never gave them a chance, even for a second, to get a little closer. Maybe he was thinking along the same lines since he never said anything. Just that sharp and eerily cold stare.

"Is that a threat?"

The young man shook his head and straightened up . His eyes stared into the girl's eyes, who suppressed the urge to wrinkle her face in a mocking grimace.

"Did that sound like a threat?"

The girl replied with a hint of humor averting her eyes from her older classmate, but he didn't wait with an answer. It seemed to Asher for a second that his plump lips almost formed a smirk.

"From you? Undoubtedly."

The girl's eyes stopped again on Aiden Cooper. curly blonde hair was wet and a single drop fell on his white cheek. Only now did she notice that not only his luxurious hair was wet but also his clothes. It was strange to see him so... Unideal.

Her eyes slid over his strong body, over the clothes that clung to him like a second skin, and for the first time in her life Ash didn't know what to say to him.
