ELLIOT

I glanced up at him sharply, the action almost giving me whiplash with how fast it was.

“All of a sudden? Where is that coming from?”

He shrugged. “Since we’re on the topic of parents…”

I pursed my lips as I thought of the answer to his question.

Did I hate Margaret?

At first, I thought I did. When my father first married her, when she first stepped into this house with Asher, I was convinced I hated her. I had such a visceral reaction every time I saw her that for a long time, I thought

    ELLIOTI glanced up at him sharply, the action almost giving me whiplash with how fast it was.“All of a sudden? Where is that coming from?”He shrugged. “Since we’re on the topic of parents…”I pursed my lips as I thought of the answer to his question.Did I hate Margaret?At first, I thought I did. When my father first married her, when she first stepped into this house with Asher, I was convinced I hated her. I had such a visceral reaction every time I saw her that for a long time, I thought it was hate. Or maybe I convinced myself it was, just to feel less guilty.But the more I got to know her, the more time I spent with her, I realized I didn’t hate her. At least not entirely.“No,” I replied. “I don’t hate your mum.”Asher raised an eyebrow. “Really?”“What’s with that reaction? Do you want me to hate her?”“No, of course not. I’m just surprised, that’s all. You always act like her very presence bothers you.”I sighed, because he was not wrong. “Yes. But that was before. And ev

    ELLIOTAsher and I settled into a nice rhythm.Every morning at 5am, I slipped out of his bed into my own bedroom, went for classes, ate lunch with my friends and Asher, came back home and then slipped back into his bed after dinner when everyone else was asleep.Dad and Margaret were definitely surprised we were suddenly getting along but they didn’t say anything about it. Perhaps they were afraid of ruining it if they pointed it out and were just happy that we were getting along as ‘brothers.’If only they knew.Another week passed just like that.Another week of..Another week of keeping our relationship hidden from our parents.I was thankful Asher hadn’t mentioned telling them again. He didn’t push. He was giving me time just like he said he would.Deep down, I knew I could not avoid it forever, but it still didn’t mean it had to be this soon. Our relationship was still new, wasn’t it better to enjoy it first?Later. That was what I kept telling myself. We’d tell them later.It d

    ASHERElliot didn’t respond. He pulled away from me completely, sitting up properly on the bed.I sat up too.“Elliot?”He dragged a hand through his hair.“I don’t really like talking about this,” he said.I rushed to reassure him.“Then don’t,” I said. “You don’t have to—”“I want to.”He took a deep breath, like he was bracing himself.And then he spoke.“I don’t think I ever told you how Mum and Daniel died.”“No,” I said quietly.And that was fine. I was fine with him never telling me about it if he didn’t feel comfortable.“Three years ago,” he started, his voice quiet. “They had a car accident.”My chest tightened at the raw pain in his voice.“They were coming back from one of Daniel’s football games,” he said. “He always insisted Mum stay till the very end, even if his team was losing.”A faint smile flickered across his face.“He was so excited that day,” he murmured. “They won. He scored too. Called me on the phone to tell me all about it. He wouldn’t stop bragging about ho

    ASHERThere were a lot of moments I loved with Elliot.But this was my favourite.The one where we cuddled against each other every night in my bed, just breathing each other in and enjoying each other’s warmth.It’s been almost three weeks now since we’ve been officially boyfriends and every moment still felt so surreal.A little too good to be real. I lay on my back, one arm tucked under my head while the other rested loosely around his waist. He was half on top of me, his head on my chest, fingers absentmindedly tracing patterns over my shirt.It was one of those rare moments where we just existed in each other’s space.Everything was easy with Elliot. Maybe a little too easy.I exhaled slowly, my fingers brushing lightly through his hair.“What are you thinking about?” he asked quietly.“How do you know I’m thinking?”He tilted his head up, placing his chin on my chest, just enough to glance up at me.“Because,” he pressed down on the deep furrow of my brows, “you’re thinking a l

    ELLIOTFor a while, neither of us spoke.We didn’t need to.The silence wasn’t awkward. It was full, comfortable.Asher took a jacket from the bag, wrapping it around my shoulders. I hugged it to myself tightly.I pulled my knees slightly to my chest, resting my chin on them as I stared out ahead.“This is nice,” I said quietly.“Yeah?”“Yeah.”A pause.“I wanted it to be something you’d like,” he said quietly.My heart skipped.I turned my head slightly to look at him.He wasn’t looking at me. His gaze was fixed on the view ahead, expression calm, almost careful.“Why?” I asked.He frowned slightly, like the answer should’ve been obvious. “Because I care about what you think. And I wanted you to be comfortable.”My stomach flipped. My heart pounded loudly in my chest.I looked away quickly, focusing back on the city.“You didn’t have to do all this,” I said.“Of course I did. It’s our first date.”There it was. The words I’d been waiting for. Just as I’d hoped, this was a date.Our

    ELLIOTAsher was acting suspicious.He’d come to my room earlier today, told me to dress nice but casual, because he was taking me somewhere.At first, I thought he was taking me to a party. It was a Saturday night after all. Although, I knew Asher didn’t like parties but maybe he wanted to spend time together.But now I wasn’t so sure he was taking me to a party.There was another option at the back of my mind but I didn’t want to entertain the idea. I didn’t want to be too hopeful. It would be risky anyway.I had to give him props though. It was so elaborate and everything. He even borrowed his friend’s car for the night. Clearly, this wasn’t a spur of the moment thing and he had been planning this for a while.I turned to him, no longer able to hide my curiosity. “Where are we going?”He kept his eyes on the road. “You’ve asked me that several times now.”“That’s because you’re being suspicious.”“I’m not being suspicious.”“You made me leave the house without telling me where we’r
