On the other side, Wendy also noticed Asher.
But she was just like the other ordinary students in the cafeteria. When someone screamed, she curiously looked over. Oh, it's their quarterback, she thought, no wonder someone reacted so strongly. Then she silently withdrew her gaze and continued eating her lunch.
"Wendy, are you going to help with the photo exhibition this afternoon?"
"Yes," Wendy nodded.
Her volunteer experience in Costa Rica had gradually helped Wendy find what she wanted to do in the future.
So during the club recruitment week at the start of the semester, she joined the school's animal protection organization.
Next Tuesday, they would hold their first event: a photo exhibition in the school auditorium, with the theme being endangered animals and their precarious situation.
This whole week, Wendy had been busy with this. She and three other team members were responsible for collecting photos and setting up the exhibiti
Asher was still on an IV drip, so his movements were very gentle. When he sucked on her lips, it wasn't with his usual almost-devour-her-whole attitude. Instead, he kissed her, then paused, waiting for her reaction before coaxing her to respond.Her shoulder leaned against the man's firm chest, her entire back sinking into his embrace, gently pressed against his strong pectoral muscles. Wendy could feel the still-pumped-up muscles of a player who had just come off the field.So strong! She loved it way too much!Her breathing became rapid, her eyes hazy from the heat.Footsteps occasionally sounded outside the door. Wendy wasn't sure if Neil had left or if someone might suddenly barge in. These worries kept popping into her mind, but there was nothing she could do about them.She was pressed tightly against the man's strong chest. This possessive beast wasn't letting her go; she could only obediently accept his lingering, wet kisses.So comf
At the end of the first quarter, the Submarines, who weren't known for scoring, had already racked up 16 points, while the Lightning had yet to put any points on the board.Coach Matt had no choice but to make a substitution, sending Asher into the game.However, Asher had spent the entire week focusing on mentoring the newcomers, and the coaching staff's strategy had been built around Montahi.In the second quarter, although Asher quickly scored a touchdown, the Submarines continued to add points, widening the gap instead of closing it.During halftime, Drew, the Submarines' defensive end and this year's standout rookie, found an opportunity to approach Asher.Drew had the confidence of a newborn calf unafraid of tigers: "I've studied every single one of your games from the past three years—more than once, in fact. It's been useful because no other quarterback compares to you. Beat you, and I can handle any quarterback."Drew arrogant
The two people in the room were locked in a passionate kiss when the lounge door suddenly opened.Accompanied by hurried footsteps, the newcomer's voice was filled with concern."Asher, the team doctor said you..."Hearing that familiar female voice, Wendy stiffened and awkwardly struggled out of Asher's embrace, because the voice belonged to...Simone.Wendy instinctively wanted to distance herself from Asher, or at least get out of his arms first, but the man's hand with the IV drip held her firmly. Could she bring herself to pull away? Naturally, she couldn't.Wendy couldn't go anywhere. Before the newcomer got closer, she whispered to Asher, "Asher, I don't want to leave, I just..."Wendy glanced at the calm man who clearly had no intention of letting her go. Fine, she thought resignedly, let it be.Previously, they had agreed that she would handle Sam, and he would convince Simone.Besides Simone, Edward was also th
But this man held her, unable to stop kissing her. Even though she was enjoying the kiss immensely, it was all his fault... He was the one who wouldn't let go, he was the one holding her tight, unwilling to release her.Kissed until her legs grew weak, Wendy opened her damp eyes, sensing that Asher still hadn't had enough. She kept swallowing saliva that by now she couldn't tell was whose, her hands gently pressed against the man's chest.This forceful kiss, Asher's kiss, brought Wendy an unusually overwhelming joy.Finally, the kiss ended. Wendy gasped for breath rapidly. As there was a slight gap in the man's embrace, she relaxed her waist and softly called his name."Asher...""I love you, Wendy."Wendy's breathing hadn't even steadied yet. Her eyes flew wide open—what had he just said?"I love you, Wendy. I love you."Asher's deep blue eyes gazed at her seriously. "I know this is hard for you to accept, and I know we've broken up. But I love you. I can't pretend anymore that I don
Wendy dejectedly carried the bouquet of flowers back to her dorm room."Hey, you're back." Eleanor came out of her room upon hearing the door open."Why do you look like that? Didn't you see Asher?""I saw him, but we didn't get to talk," Wendy said."What happened? He waited for you downstairs for a long time. Let me think... I came back about an hour ago, and he was already waiting for you then."An hour? Wendy was shocked. What did Asher come to see her for?"Eleanor, did he say why he was looking for me?""There were several girls surrounding him at the time, and he seemed a bit impatient." Eleanor shook her head. "I didn't want to get involved, so I just came straight in."Without stopping to think further, Wendy placed the flowers on the table, grabbed her keys and phone, and immediately ran out the door.She didn't know where Asher might have gone. The most likely place was his dorm room.On the way, Wendy called Asher, expecting him to hang up as she anxiously waited for him t
Sure enough, as she walked out of the ground-floor lobby, she saw the man surrounded by a crowd. Leaning against the wall, he wore a faint smile at the corner of his lips, unlike his usual aloofness, which only drew more people around him.Just as Wendy was debating whether to call out to him or send him a message, Asher noticed her and immediately made his way through the crowd toward her.In that moment, Wendy overheard murmurs like, "Didn't they break up?" "Maybe they can get back together?" "So it's still her?"Before going to bed last night, she had made up her mind—she would simply toss out the tangled mess in her heart!She wouldn't carry around speculation about whether Asher liked her or not; instead, she would genuinely feel it out through their interactions moving forward."Why are you here? I thought we were going to have lunch before visiting Hubble," Wendy said."Right, so I came to pick you up for lunch," Asher replied w
