HIS SECOND CHOICE Lost And Found
Asher didn't have to search too hard for the receipts. He found them crammed up in the drawer of his dad's work table. He read the buyer's name and realised his dad sold everything to one person. After taking a quick photo of the receipt, he put it back inside the drawer and left. Did you find out?The message was from Serena. He had just woken up and checked his phone in hope of finding a message from Shanice. But there was none except for Serena's. With disappointment, he typed a yes. She then told him to meet her at the bus stand. Asher sat up to type as it was going to be a long text. He tried to dissuade her from coming as he didn't want her to skip classes but Serena was adamant. Eventually, he had to give in. Serena was perched on the bench, looking fresh and bright like usual. A smile found its way on his lips at her sight. He pushed his glasses up and lengthened his strides. "What a beautiful morning, isn't it?" Serena sprung to her feet and chirped. Asher could see her e
HIS SECOND CHOICE Eye Opener
"No one," Serena tried to snap up her phone from his hand but in vain. It was impossible to free it from Asher's angry clutch. "Who is it, Serena?" he asked again, sounding like a ticking bomb that can explode any moment now. "It doesn't concern you. Now give me my phone back," she told him."If you won't tell me then I will find out myself. I am calling the person," he put in her passcode, causing her eyes to grow wide in horror. She was truly regretting sharing her passcode with him right now. He thumbed the number and the screen changed into calling. It prompted her into action. Without wasting a second, she reached out to cut the call but Asher prevented her by raising the phone out of her reach. Serena pleaded with him with her eyes but he didn't relent. "It's Deshmond, okay. Just cut it," Exasperated Serena, annoyed by his unyielding nature. Why does he have to know everything about her? Serena loved this boy with all her heart but sometimes she just wanted to hit his head
HIS SECOND CHOICE Betrayal Hurts
Everyone's attention was centered on the gorgeous couple in the basketball courtyard. Reed was whirling a girl by holding up ass while the girl was laughing her melodious laughter with her arms locked around his neck. She was staring lovingly into Reed's eyes. Just like she used to stare into Asher's. Everything slowed down around Asher as he watched Shanice cuddling with another man. Denial was his first response until he couldn't deny it any longer. It was her. She was clearly enjoying herself wrapped inside his arms. The sight made his insides ache with a searing intensity and yet he couldn't tear his eyes away from them. As if sensing his gaze on her, Shanice suddenly looked in his direction. Their eyes locked and her smile faded instantly. She paled as if seen a ghost. Their stare-down stretched on for a long moment until Asher decided he had enough. Clenching the wooden heart tight, he spun and stormed off. "Ash....Ashe..please stop," Shanice implored him, running after him.
HIS SECOND CHOICE Confession
"Why are you ignoring me?" Serena blocked his path and demanded. Today, she had come to the lake where he worked to get the answer to her question. "Why are you here?" he questioned sternly. Serena's face visibly fell. His callous tone made her want to cry but she put it together and lifted her chin. "To know why are you ignoring me," she answered persistently. His jaw twitched in irritation. "I am not ignoring you. Now leave. It's my work time," he answered and was turning away when Serena grabbed his hand, making him stop. "Did you have an argument with your dad? Have I done something wrong?" she asked softly, desperate to know why he was so sad. Asher balled his hands into a tight fist. She noticed that but it didn't waver her determination. She stepped around to face him. Her gaze warm and tender as it wandered his face, expressing profound fondness. If he could see himself through her eyes, he would know how precious he was for her. "You can share anything with me, Asher. I
HIS SECOND CHOICE Rejection?
Serena was thinking about skipping school today. For one, her head was aching as she couldn't sleep whole night and secondly, she was nervous. Mind-numbing nervous. Today, he will either accept or reject her, and either way her life will take a drastic turn. It all happened at a super fast pace. She had no idea what came over her yesterday that she blurted it all out. She didn't mean to spring it on him, not when he was already stressed out. He must have felt attacked. What if he rejected her in his overwhelmed state? The possibility of him breaking off their friendship too was scaring her the most. She didn't want to lose their precious friendship. "Get a grip, Serena," she coached herself, feeling her anxiety shooting up. If it was some other situation she would have called Asher as he always knew how to pacify her but here he was the source of her anxiety. She decided to call Shanice. Maybe, talking to her would calm her down a bit. Shanice didn't answer her call. She then reach
HIS SECOND CHOICE A New Beginning
His mesmerizing green eyes were centered on her. Serena gulped. Her heart was running miles per second, close to ripping out of her chest any second. His undivided attention felt too heavy to bear right now. She would have stood up if not for her wobbling legs. Shanice and others were eyeing him, intrigued. It would be a real shame if he rejected her in front of so many people. Serena wouldn't have a face left to show then. "Asher," Serena breathed through the knot in her throat. Her eyes were wide in surprise, her lips slightly parted, and her brows slightly up. She was afraid of being rejected in front of everyone. He wouldn't do that, would he? Her last BF had slapped her in the face and called her a worthless whore in front of several students as revenge after she broke up with him. Years had passed but the things he had told her were still embedded into her brain. He said she should be happy that he was dating her for she was too ugly to attract attention from boys. That no one
HIS SECOND CHOICE For Him
"Why are you going alone? Where is Asher?" Shanice asked, feigning nonchalance. If not distracted by the question, Serena would have noticed implicit spite in Shanice's tone. Her smile dimmed for she didn't know where was Asher. He hadn't even said anything about their date. "He had some urgent work after school," Serena replied. Shanice hummed. "Bummer! I thought he would take you out on a date. I mean Boys usually want to be with their girls as much as possible. I wonder what could be more important than you?" Shanice remarked, staring ahead at the road. Serena was just as clueless. Asher hadn't told her why he left today earlier than usual. If she didn't know better she would think he was ignoring her. But why one would ignore someone right after asking them out. Makes no sense. She really was also expecting some together time after school. Even a walk to bus stand together would have meant a lot for her. So yeah, it had disappointed her a lot when he left school without eve
HIS SECOND CHOICE Surprise Date
"Isn't it too revealing?" Serena asked, gazing down at her dress with a small frown. The dress was loud red and its sweetheart neckline was low enough to expose the beginning of her swell. "Honey, you are going on a date not to offer prayer in some church. The shorter it is, the hotter it is," Shanice dismissed her concern and got back to the task of applying blush on her cheeks. "Actually, Asher doesn't like short dresses," Serena shared her concern with Shanice. Shanice's forehead puckered. Asher doesn't like short dresses? That was new. He never had qualms with her wearing short dresses. In fact, the shorter her dresses got, the more pleased he became. She was convinced Serena was making up excuses to get rid of the dress. "So, you wanna go on the date in a white robe, carrying a bible? Would he like that?" Shanice questioned while applying the mascara. Serena shook her head. That would be extreme too. "No, but this dress is.." a loud sigh from Shanice cut her off. Shanice dro
