Asher was seated next to me, and so when I choked, he patted my back gently. “It’s okay.”

I stopped after a while, and felt better.

I hated the way everyone suddenly stared at me, including Summer, and I felt so embarrassed. I couldn’t stand it so I excused myself and disappeared into the kitchen.

My heart raced when I realized Asher was following me.

I sat on one of the old kitchen stools and held my head in my hands.

“Are you okay?”

Is that why you followed me? “I still can’t believe you are

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 55 - Blacked Out

    Asher’s POV As I watched Grace speak with Alex, I wondered if they were having an argument because she was kinda looking agitated.I've never felt so welcomed in any other place the way her family welcomed me, and her siblings made me feel like a brother to them. The whole bond just felt so natural. I just wished she would really come back to Michigan.I was super glad when she made mention of it earlier this afternoon. Well, it doesn't matter if she made up her mind already to stay at Suzella's place. What matters more is the fact that she was returning and we could always hang out or see each other. That Friday Xena had pranked Grace was one of the worst days of my life. I felt like I was stabbed in the heart. It pained me most because I couldn't defend her."Do you feel like you can't ever be charged to court?!!” I thundered at Xena."Are you defending her now?” Xena fired back, but before I could give her a piece of my mind, Ms. Nora appeared and made us leave the hallway.From

    “It’s a very simple condition, you know.” Asher said with a mischievous smile.“Then out with it!” I blurted, getting impatient.“Make my hair first.”Indeed that was a very simple condition. I made his hair and he did our nails. He was also good with the clippers, so he helped Faith with a very cool haircut.Before six, we were ready to go. I didn’t even realize my parents were absent till we were about to leave and I sent Summer to go call them in the garden, ‘cos there was this garden further down behind the house.“They left already for Annie’s baby’s birthday.” She blurted.“What?! Really?” I was damn surprised.“Yes, of course. Mum and Mabel’s mum are close friends, remember? But I think dad said he was going to branch off to see someone important.” She continued. Fine. Whatever. We had a fun ride to the Pine Groves. I was surprised to see it was actually a scenic park with a river view, and quite relaxing. It was about a ten minute drive away from the house. I was sure it woul

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 55 - Bubbles in Our Heads

    Asher’s proposal left me speechless. I didn’t know what to say or think. As much as the idea sounded great, I wasn’t sure if there would be bad sides to it that I may not see now.Maybe like making out with Asher.And probably getting pregnant too.For goodness sake, why are my thoughts always running wild?“You don’t have to give me a reply now. You can actually think about it.” He said.Is that so? My throat felt somewhat dry. “But your grandma said she doesn’t like the idea of a live-in staff, so I doubt she might want to take me.”Asher gave me a look that said he was annoyed. “Who ever mentioned a live-in staff? She only wants to offer you a job and accommodation, that’s all.”What's the freaking difference?On the other hand, I guess there was not much point, thinking about it. I wasn’t sure what I would be to the old couple; a constant reminder of their late granddaughter, a live-in staff or a mere burden.“It’s okay, Asher. Thanks for your offer. But I think I would rather be

    I exhaled deeply. “I wasn't done eating before you guys arrived, and I would really like to get back to my meal, right now." I said.Mabel rolled her eyes. Of course, what I said was totally unrelated to her dumb question.She turned to Asher with her brightest smile, who was still with Faith. "Hello, handsome. It's so good to see you.”Asher just stared straight at her, wondering what she was up to."I kept staring at you when I saw you at the church because I thought you looked familiar. Now, I know why." she paused with a smile. “You look like your dad. Mister Simon, right? We have always been eager to meet his family. He is a close family friend of ours, you know. And I'm so pleased to meet you.” She stretched her hands shyly and meekly for a handshake, but Asher didn't take it.He merely stared at her like she was a mannequin. "I'm her boyfriend.”"What?!” Mabel echoed the exact question in my mind.“You were asking Grace. Yes, I'm her boyfriend." With that he walked away with

What’s your deal?”“That’s not the point, moron. The point is that you are here, first of. And not only that, you don’t know the kind of fix you have just put me with this town people, with all that drama that you played out there when you saw me. I wish you just pretended I was invisible, like you do in Xena’s presence.

  • Taming Asher    Chapter 52 - A Choking Response

    My first impulse was to push him away as he hugged me, but he smelled so great, so I just let him be and inhaled his scent. I think the hug must have lasted about a quarter of a minute before he finally let go.“Why have you been treating me this way all because I spoke to your dad?”By now, everyone’s attention was centred on us and I almost felt embarrassed. Good thing I had my best outfit on, a fanciful black and white shirt dress that barely touched my knee, paired with white Jimmy choo sneakers. The only good thing I ever got from Aunt Cecil.“I can't believe you're a celebrity here." I folded my arms.He grinned at me like he was blushing. "I'm a celebrity everywhere I go. You're the only one in the world who doesn't acknowledge me.”I raised a brow with a scoff. "Really? Is that why you're blushing?”He laughed hard for real this time. He looks more handsome when he laughed. And that was when he noticed Summer. "No way. You guys are four?”It was my turn to smile. "Why do you
