HIS SECOND CHOICE Fight
Serena slowly pulled the laptop out of her bag, excited to surprise him. It wasn't a first-hand laptop but a second or maybe third hand as her financial situation didn't allow her for it. She had been thinking about getting him a laptop for some time as his current one was taking its last breath. When she enquired about the laptop, Asher revealed that this actually belonged to his dad. He had discarded and put it away long ago and when Asher persistently requested him to get him a laptop, he dumped it on him. This one was not brand new but at least was in working condition. She would be forever grateful to Dr. Harrison for this. He gave her this laptop. The kind soul was willing to give it for free but she had refused. As Asher had told her not to take favors from anyone, she had committed his words to her mind. So she bought the laptop from him at a reasonable price. In return, he also had asked her to make him Mac and Cheese which she agreed to happily. "Promise me that you won't
HIS SECOND CHOICE Little Tiffs
Asher got up from his chair and walked towards the window a hundred times. It was almost 11 and she hadn't come home yet. Once bustling street had now become almost deserted with only a few cars in sight. She had called him earlier to inform him that she would come late as today was one of her colleague's birthdays. Asher had offered to pick her up but she had refused saying her friend, Luna would drop her off. He didn't know she was talking about this late. As the minutes ticked by, his irritation grew. Suddenly, a black SUV turned the corner and slowed to a smooth halt right before their apartment. The passenger door opened not a moment late and Serena climbed out wearing a bright smile, causing him to frown. She closed the door and leaned on the window. Asher watched her as she said something to the driver before retreating and waving at the person. After that, she turned towards the entrance while the car rolled past the building. She raised her fist to knock on the door but b
HIS SECOND CHOICE His Girl
"Asher? What are you doing here?" she questioned, confused. Asher walked closer and took her in his arms, taking her by surprise. "I missed you," he replied in a husk, smiling down at her. Serena gaped at him, still confounded as he leaned over her shoulder and pressed a kiss on the base of her neck. She was pressed flush against him. A clearing of the throat snatched their attention. Blushing, Serena tried to create distance between them but Asher didn't release her. Instead, he pressed her side to his and turned towards the man he suspected was Dr. Harrison. He then proceeded to plaster a smile across his face but the bitterness in his eyes remained intact. "You must be Dr. Harrison. Thanks for dropping off MY GIRL last night," he initiated stressing on "My girl.""Your girl?" Harrison asked and looked between them in confusion. "Yes. I am her boyfriend Asher Carter," Asher promptly made the point he came all the way here for. Serena stilled, stunned by his admission. Did he ju
HIS SECOND CHOICE Date Gone Wrong
Serena had ridden in many fancy cars before but none came close to the happiness she felt riding this outdated car with uncomfortable seats and an unattractive interior. For her, it was the most beautiful car in the world because it belonged to Asher. He stopped the car outside a diner. They climbed down and walked inside. The diner was almost full except for a couple of vacant spots. Asher led her towards the table in the furthest corner and pulled a chair for her. Even small gestures like these from him were enough to make her heart flutter like crazy. He had her completely down for him. He beckoned a waiter and Serena gave their order. While eating, Serena felt the heat of his gaze on her several times but felt too shy to look up and catch him red-handed. After dinner, he drove for about forty-five minutes an hour and eventually pulled over in the middle of a vast open space. She got down after Asher and looked around. The desolate place- flanked by treelines from three sides-
HIS SECOND CHOICE Stare Down
They have been ignoring each other since then. She was all calm and composed but the same couldn't be said about Asher. The boy was spiraling out of control. Her silent treatment had started to bother him to no end and what bothered him even more was that she appeared unaffected by his silent treatment. Like it doesn't matter if he talked to her or not. He started dropping his wet towel on the floor, leaving his clothes around, and doing everything that Serena disliked to get his attention but the girl refused to bat even an eye in his direction, much to his vexation. "I can't find my black T-shirt," he barged into the room and announced. Four days had passed since they talked last. It was already Saturday. Serena didn't respond and continued watering her plants. "I said something," he repeated, frowning. Her ignoring skills were top-notch. When she didn't respond, he stalked over and caught her arm."Are you even listening?" he swiveled her towards him and demanded. She met his
HIS SECOND CHOICE Her Anger
The world stilled around them as she crossed over to him and slapped him hard across his face. Her palm stung but his face didn't move a bit. The sharp sound resonated through the room, causing everyone to hold their breath in dreadful anticipation. Asher clenched his fists while glaring down at her. There was a crazed glint in his eyes making him look deranged. She couldn't help her eyes welling up as she matched his glare with hers. Asher's features softened when he noticed tears in her eyes. He loosened his fists and reached up to wipe her unshed tears but before he could even touch her, Serena stopped him by grabbing his hand in mid-air. Her gaze was hard and angry as it bored into his eyes. "Why?" she demanded. Asher's features turned stone cold again in response. "He deserved it," he answered unapologetically. Serena eyed him with disbelief. She was speechless. "He deserved to be beaten like this? Can you hear yourself?" she questioned incredulously and tossed his hand away.
HIS SECOND CHOICE Twisted Means
"I hope you don't mind me imposing on you," Serena asked Luna with a nervous laugh. "Ohh, It's okay. I and Atlas both are thrilled to share our space with you," Luna assured her. Serena smiled and enquired after Atlas. She hadn't seen him since her arrival. Luna whistled and just then a cute little pug came running out of one of the rooms. The pooch snuggled up against Luna's legs. Serena reached out and scratched the back of his ear, earning a purr from him. "He remembers you," Luna told her, grinning. She had brought Atlas to the clinic a few times where he had met Serena. Serena smiled. Luna's place was larger and better than hers. Her apartment had two rooms, a spacious kitchen, and a balcony with a beautiful view of the garden. She could only dream of buying herself a place like this. After staying on the balcony for some time, she returned to her room. They already had their dinner and Luna had long retired to her room. She decided to sleep as tomorrow she had a morning shift
HIS SECOND CHOICE Rent
Asher opened the door to find her standing in front of him. The girl with the tiniest frame in the world was frowning down at the floor. Without so much looking at him, she walked past him inside the apartment. Asher smirked and closed the door. Serena headed straight into her room. After closing the door in his face, she dragged her feet towards her bed and dropped her bag at the foot of her bed before collapsing down on the mattress. She sighed loudly, so much for ignoring him. She was planning on coming back after he realized his mistake. But it seemed fate didn't agree with her intention. That's okay. Even though she was here, she wouldn't talk to him. Asher was feeling this strange giddy sensation after finally having her here. He was happy and content. Now the house didn't feel lifeless any longer. Even though she was cold with him, her aura was still so warm and bright, suffusing the air with a warm golden color. After making some coffee for both of them, he headed towards th
