The Edge Of You Chapter 35- Nothing Like This.
Asher's pov.I stepped out of the bathroom, drying my hair with a towel as my mind drifted back to last night under that metal awning.I still couldn't get the image of Leonard pulling me into a hug out of my head. Never in a million years would I have expected someone like him, always so composed, distant, and careful to be the one to close that distance first.Heat crept up my cheeks. I pressed the back of my hand against my face and let out a breath before walking over to the bed to get dressed for my morning lectures.I picked up my phone from the nightstand and unlocked it. Right at the top of the chat was a new message from Leonard.After weeks of silence and unanswered messages, seeing his name on my screen made me smile.Did you get home safely last night?I stared at the message for a moment before typing a reply.It felt so good seeing him again.But I kept thinking about the way his face had changed when I handed him the silver bracelet. It was the first time I'd seen him s
The Edge Of You Chapter 34- Can't figure you out.
Leonard's pov.We stood side by side beneath the narrow metal awning of a closed storefront, the heavy downpour splashing onto the pavement just inches from our wet shoes. Water dripped from my hair and soaked through my clothes, clinging cold against my skin.Ever since I whispered those words, Asher hadn't said a single thing. He just stood there, staring out into the rain, his jaw set tight. I kept my face blank, but the silence between us seemed to stretch with every passing second.Two hours ago, I was still at home.I had walked down to the dining room just to get a glass of water. One of the maids immediately hurried over to pour it for me when footsteps echoed from the grand staircase.Liam descended the steps, his tailored suit flawless as always. He stopped near the end of the long table, resting one hand in his pocket."Kylie hasn't visited in days, Leonard. No matter how busy she gets, she always makes time for you. Why hasn't she come by?"I kept my gaze fixed on my glas
The Edge Of You Chapter 33- I Missed You.
Asher's pov.I pushed open the front door and headed straight up the stairs to my room as evening settled over the house. I was supposed to hang out with Trevor and Brady after our last lecture, but Trevor had bailed at the last minute to take Emma on a date. Brady and I had agreed to grab something to eat just the two of us, but right as we were leaving campus, his mother called to say she was in the city and wanted to meet up.Life over the past few days had gone back to its usual, dull rhythm. Trevor and Brady had cleared up their weird tension and were back to normal but I hadn't set foot anywhere near the café since that day.Whenever class ended, I either hung out with them or came straight home. I'd tried finding a new quiet spot to clear my head, but none of the places felt right. I even tried a few other coffee shops, but the coffee everywhere else just tasted flat.In my room, I took off my shoes and unzipped my hoodie. My eyes drifted to the silver bracelet sitting on th
The Edge Of You Chapter 32- Can't Let Go.
Asher's pov.Trevor paced back and forth across the hardwood floor of my room, his sneakers squeaking every time he turned sharply. He ran both hands through his messy blonde hair, breathing heavily.“I am so pissed right now,” Trevor muttered, stopping to look at me. “Leonard has completely lost his mind! I told you, Ash. I literally told you not to mess around with him. Why? Because these insanely rich people are all full of shit! He probably never even considered you a friend in the first place.”I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the floor between my feet. Leonard’s voice from the café was still stuck in my head.Brady had been sitting quietly in the corner chair, scrolling through his phone. Suddenly, he stopped.“Guys...” he said.Trevor glanced at him. “What?”Brady stared at his screen for a moment before looking up at me.“It looks like that girl wasn't just some random date.” He hesitated. “She's his fiancée.”Trevor let out a short, disbelieving laugh.“A fiancée? Not
The Edge Of You Chapter 31- I Do Love You.
Leonard's pov.I lay back on my bed, staring up at the white ceiling as the silence of my bedroom settled around me. After nearly two weeks trapped in a hospital room, the quiet felt suffocating. I rolled onto my side and unlocked my phone, my thumb hovering over Asher’s name. The screen glowed with unread messages sent days ago, questions asking where I was, if I was okay.My chest tightened. How was I even supposed to respond now? Sending a casual reply to a message from two weeks ago felt completely absurd, but leaving him with nothing felt worse.A sharp, double knock at the door broke the quiet.I sat up on the edge of the mattress and cleared my throat. "Come in."The brass knob turned, and the heavy door swung open. Liam stepped into the room.My hands instinctively gathered the fabric of the duvet, my knuckles turning white as I squeezed it tightly. I kept my face blank, forcing myself to sit upright. I couldn't let him catch even a trace of my nervousness."It's been two we
The Edge Of You Chapter 30- Denied.
Asher's pov.The three of us sat around a round table in the crowded university cafeteria, our hands linked together in a tight circle over the smooth tabletop.“Should we check it now?” Trevor asked, his fingers twitching slightly against mine.“Wait a second.” I stared blankly at the dark screen of my laptop. “Just... give me a minute to get ready.”Brady let out a quiet breath and squeezed my left hand. “Ash, we've been sitting here getting ready for the last twenty minutes.”“I’m scared, okay?” I muttered.I looked down at our joined hands. My fingers were trembling slightly, and there was no point pretending they weren't.Trevor sighed and shifted in his chair. “Let's just pull the band-aid off. Whatever it is, it is.”“Easy for you to say.” I looked at him. “You're a genius. Your grades are going to be fine.”“Being good at school doesn't mean I don't get nervous, man.” His brow pulled together. “I still don't know what I got.”Brady released our hands and pulled his laptop clos
The Edge Of You Chapter 11- We can be friends.
Asher's pov.I stepped out of the cab right in front of my house, paying the driver before rushing through the front door. Leonard's heavy suit jacket was clutched tightly in my hands, still smelling faintly of his cologne. I let out a quiet breath of relief when I saw the living room was empty.
The Edge Of You Chapter 10- Warmth from his body
Asher's pov.After the brief chuckle, the room fell quiet again. Leonard turned his head back to the window, his expression flattening out into that familiar, unreadable mask as he stared at the traffic outside.I leaned down and unzipped my backpack, pulling out my black sketchbook. I placed it on
The Edge Of You Chapter 9- Another Version Of Him
Asher's pov.I lay flat on my back, staring up at the ceiling as I held the silver bracelet directly above my face. The metal was cool against my skin, catching the dull light filtering through my bedroom window. A nagging knot twisted in my stomach. Was I being completely selfish? I had the perf
The Edge Of You Chapter 8- What is wrong?
Leonard's pov.The city moved past the window in long, wet streaks.I wasn't seeing any of it.My eyes were fixed on the glass but my mind was somewhere else entirely, turning the same question over and over without arriving anywhere useful. Liam never called me to his office without a reason. The
