The Asher that I know. I touched my lips, still tingling, my heart racing with excitement, but as I took stare of the nurse, with the way the nurse stared at me as if something was wrong, I looked at myself and I was half naked, she was suspicious but she was silent, about it.“ Your dad is having another seizure and your mother is going ruckus, can you please calm her down” she said, as she left in a hurry.Asher who had been pretending to be asleep, immediately flung out of the bed as he heard, he looked at me to see if I was okay, but I was.I immediately tried to zip my clothes, as I proceeded to leave the room.

Arabella. POVAfter what felt like forever, of staring out the car window and occasionally drifting into restless sleep, we had finally reached the place. While in the car my mind had been racing the whole trip, filled with worries about what might happen. Would this trip be okay? Going on a field trip with Asher was it going to work out?As we pulled up, the first thing that caught my attention was the beach view. I had never been to the beach before because of my parents. They had this odd belief that beaches were for crazy people, a place where you were just asking to be drowned. Ever since childhood, it has been my dream to go to a beach.As I stepped out of the car, my heart raced with excitement and a bit of nervousness. Without thinking or even looking at Asher, I ran straight toward the beach, arms spread wide, feeling the wind rush past me. I closed my eyes as I inhaled very deeply, savoring the salty, fresh scent of the sea. It was like a moment of connection between me and

Arabella's POVAs Asher lifted me into his arms, my initial reaction was to protest. I could feel the heat reach my cheek as I whispered softly "Asher, put me down" Everyone around us was looking at us. The smile was playful, but his hand squeezed against my fingers.“Fuck, let's give the media something to talk about!” he breathed, a teasing smile played on his lips. His words were soft and low, meant for my ears alone even though they held a promise that had goosebumps breaking out across my skin.I could not even help but smile at my own embarrassment. The way he smiled, he smiled in a way that made everything seem fun and exciting moments. People turned as we walked through the lobby, muttering after us. My face was buried in his shoulder, embarrassed and thrilled at the same time.Once we reached the suite, Asher set me down gently, his eyes never leaving mine. "You okay?" he asked, brushing a strand of hair from my face."Yeah, " I breathed out over a racing heart.He grabbed m

Arabella's POVThe sound of thunder rumbling through the suite woke me up. The storm seemed to have come in full force, rain beating against the windows very relentlessly. I immediately turned to the side of the bed, to see if the sound of the thunder had woken Asher up just like he did or if he was still asleep. But rather than seeing Asher, I met no one on the bed but me, I couldn't help but be worried and wonder where he was."Asher?" I called out, my voice barely audible over the storm. No answer. I called his name louder, and the unease grew, tightening around my heart. Why the hell, wasn't he on the bad and what if something had happened to him? I thought, different things about what might have happened to him came running to my mind, I couldn't shake the possibility of it being true so I got out of bed to satisfy my curiosity as I headed to the restroom, hoping that he was there but he wasn't there, I decided to head out to look for him, I grabbed the umbrella by the door.

Arabella's POVThe fresh morning breeze grazed my skin and the laughter from outside woke me up. I opened my eyes slowly, clearly enjoying my sleep and what caught my attention was Asher, slumped in a chair close to me, fast asleep. His face looked peaceful yet tired, and beside him was a bowl of water and a towel. It was clear he had been taking care of me.I couldn't help but feel grateful for that, he has been such a darling ever since he got to the hospital. I leaned in close to him and stared at his face, his cheeks rising slightly with each breath and I touched his cheeks trying to feel its warmness. His skin was warm under my fingertips, and the touch seemed to have woken him up. His eyes fluttered a bit then it opened, and he stared at me with a smirk on his face, his face looked tired."I thought I almost lost you," he said, his voice a little rusty and tired.I smiled weakly, as Ieaned closer and gave him a peck. "Thank you really, thank you for taking care of me, Asher."
