chapter 45: My world

Playlist: Thinking Out Loud by Ed sheeran

Love me harder by Ariana Grande

Waking up slowly, I struggled out of Asher's grip but he wouldn't budge. I managed to turn around and stared at his beautiful golden face while caressing his cheek.

"Hey" he smirked waking up.

"Good morning king" I pecked he's lip.

"Morning queen" he said opening his eyes and I rolled over sitting at the edge of the bed and started scrolling through my messages.

"10am hmm that's early for you"

"I know right...I'm proud" I grinned

"It won't last tho" he teased

"Shut up" I said throwing a pillow at him. "Well thank God its Friday, what's planned" I asked.

"Homework" he said in a duh tone wearing his PJ pants.

Sighing I stood up and walked to the door to go downstairs. "Ok Dad... See you downstairs" I rolled my eyes and left.

Ash and I had most of our school work done and I was actually finished but I kept on reading through to pass time staring at my laptop.

"Aren't you done" I whined.

"Nope" he said without looking at me and I rolled over making me climb on top his well toned back and my hair distracted him from the screen of his laptop.

"I'm trying to get some work done over here so could you please get off" he pleaded.

"Nop" I said popping the p. "I'm bored let's play" I said like a kid and he roles us over making him be on top me.

"You want to play video games" he asked and I grinned. "I'll just complete my project later" he said sighing.

We couldn't decide on which game to play so he split the screen and he played he's with his friends while I played mine.

He looked so focused saying things in coded ways to other people playing with him, making me wonder.

"What do you guys talk about" I asked curiously pausing my game.

"Trust me you don't wanna know" he warned.

"But I do" I urged poking his sides and he took off his head phones and gave them to me.

I listened for a while and immediately regretted it. "Ok that's some weird shit" I declared giving him back.

We later decided to play the same game and it was pretty cool beating Asher's butt. I sat on the floor while ash was on the bed.

"Ann" he called and I hummed in response. "Please come to the bed" he said trying to be cute.

"Why? So that you can cheat, no thank you"

"Nah I'm serious I just want you by my side" and I blushed to that.

"Pleaseeeee" he whined.

"Nope"

"Oh come on he wants you by he's side" SC encouraged.

"Please" he whined more.

"Nope" I stood my ground.

"Come on you know you want to" SC teased.

No I don't

Yes you do

No

Yes

No

Your gonna meet him

"Please" he whined

"No" I said.

"The floor is lava" he said and I contemplated .

Nice move

I stood up and sat on the bed beside him pouting. "Piece of shit" I mumered and he hugged me kissing me all over my face.

We played for a while longer when realization slapped me on the face and I dropped the controller on the floor almost breaking it and ash looked at me like I  grew another head.

"What the fuck wrong with you" he asked astonished.

"We are growing teenagers, we're meant to be out in the sun not damaging our brains with video games" I said.

"Ok mum....but you could have simply said let's stop the game" he said. "What are we gonna do anyway" he asked and an idea popped into my head which I'm sure he would love.

★★★★★

"Please ash please....if you love me you'll let me wear it" I begged clinging to he's right leg like a piece of gum while he struggles to walk.

"You know I love you" he defended.

"Then why don't you let me wear our country's Jersey"

"Cause its an important part of my collection" he gave the lamest excuse.

He is currently in a Roma jersey with black soccer socks and soccer boots while I'm on white soccer socks and soccer boots with my underwear and I don't want to wear any other Jersey than the Nigerian one.

"Please....I won't kiss you for a week" I declared damn serious and he peered at me to see if I was bluffing.

That's right...I'm serious

"Fine" he said defeated and I squealed in glee.

We were out at his back yard and ready to play.

"Ok first let me teach you the basics" he said setting the ball down.

"Hold up, what makes you think I don't know how to play" I said placing a hand on my hip.

I mean I'm not good but I can do better than most girls.

"Cause your a girl" he muttered pretending to cough

Oh no he didn't... Let me just tell you that I've hand a lot of guy friends and they thought me Some things.

"Ok first of all that's really sexist and second of all..."  An idea popped into my head.

" I know nothing about soccer, teach away" I said stepping aside to watch.

He taught me the basics Like passing, shooting, ball control, etc and we were ready for a friendly match.

"Ok first to 10" he said and positioned the ball.

"Let's wager on that shall we?" And he smirked challenging me,

"since girls are so poor at soccer then you have no fear. If I win you'll do anything I want but if you win I'll submit to you" I offered and put out my hand.

"If you reach 3 I'll submit to you" he laughed and we shook on it....get ready to be played.

★★★★★

It was sweaty and dirty and involved a lot of running which I hate but I did it.

"I won  I won" I cheered doing my victory dance.

"No you didn't its 4-10...I won"

"But you said if I reached 3 you'll submit so I won I won" I continued dancing.

"I let you score so that you won't be angry" he defended but I didn't care.

"Now carry me to my room to bath servant" I ordered jumping on him and he carried me bridal style.

"Your gonna be the death of me" he smiled.

"Then its gonna be the happiest death of your life" I grinned.

"You want to take a shower right" he asked passing the pool and I nodded. "Ok" he said and threw me into the pool.

"Lee" I screamed while he laughs he's ass out. I got out of the pool and entered the house dripping.

I took a quick shower and I guess so did ash because I saw him on his computer with grey sweatpants and a white shirt looking all clean and fresh and the room smelt manly.

I sat on the bed and cuddled beside him. "I'm sorry for throwing you into the pool, you were becoming cocky and cockiness is my thing" he said and my  mind went back to the event. well its to late to be angry now.

"Its cool" I said kissing him. "I guess I needed to cool off" I grinned and he pretended to laugh at my dry joke.

After a while of cuddle I laid on his lap and drifted off slowly while he plays with my hair.

★★★★★

Someone was shaking me lightly in attempt to wake me up but I decided to shrug it off.

"Come on...wake up its time for dinner...I know you can hear me" ash cooed and that's when realization hit me.

"Dinner" I said surprised and  sprung up immediately. "What time is it"

"8pm"

"I slept for 7 hours" I asked in disbelief but he just shrugged.

"I didn't want to disturb you...plus a few friends came over so I was busy" he said as if it was nothing.

"Ok let me just wash my face I'll be down soon" I said wearing my flip flops and walking into his bathroom.

Moments later I walked down the stairs and into the dining to see Ash eating his rice like the cave man he is and scrolling through his phone.

I entered the kitchen and came in contact with the Chief maid.

"Good evening" I greeted.

"Good evening dear...what a pleasure seeing you...where have you been"

"Sleeping" I answered as she served my food and I took it from her hand.

"Well then you must be well rested" she said

"Yes I am, thank you" I said and walked out of the kitchen.

I sat next to ash and immediately started digging into my food, I feel like I've not eaten all day. Ash placed his left hand on my thigh while he used the other to tap on his phone.

"Who are you texting that's so important that you can't eat your food properly" I asked feeling a pang of jealousy.

"People" he shrugged.

"Well tell the people I know that I sent my greetings" I said looking over his shoulder a little to spy....uggh I'm acting petty. But he just tilts his phone a little to prevent me from seeing and I mentally gasped.

I decided to shrug it off and continued eating the delicacy in front of me. I looked over at asher and he was still concentrated on his phone, I used my fork to steal 3 pieces of his fried plantain and he didn't complain...ash always complains.

Okay that's is

I snatched his phone from his hand and stood up but he just sighed.

"Could you please give me back my phone" he asked lazily.

"No" I said sticking out my tongue. "Now who are you talking to" I said and waved his phone threatening him, daring him to get up.

"Are you trying to tease...cause it doesn't suit you" he smirked.

"Oh ok let's see...humm the first chat mum, aww that's so cute" I said with and evil glint in my eyes and that's when I knew I've hit him.

Before I gave him any chance to react I dashed upstairs to get away from all the overly expensive stuff but he was hot on my trail. Feeling all the excitement building up inside me I kept on running and giggling.

"Stop running your gonna break something... Most likely your bones or cut yourself" he screamed seeing as most things in this house are either marble or glass but I didn't care and kept on running.

I ran into what ash likes to call his man cave and hide in the dumbest place ever... Behind the curtains. It was dark with only a slight light from the window guiding me, soon I heard ash enter and locked the door behind him. He turned on the light and scanned the room.

"I've got you trapped now" he said in victory and I mentally face palmed myself for choosing this room to hide in.

"You know what, I'm gonna let you have your fun...I'm ready for you" he said and turned off the lights.

"Try to escape I dare you" he said with humor in his voice and I peeked out of the curtain and came out slowly.

*Asher's POV*

Mastering the structure of the room I was sure that I could find her. I took slow steps walking in deeper looking at every direction to make sure that I don't miss her when my phone buzzed signifying that a text came in and I turned to the direction. "I've got you now" I saw a dark figure walking past and I charged after her.

She noticed I was on to her and started running, in no time I caught up to her and jumped her, pinning her to the floor and my phone feel a few inches away.

"Ha you can't escape me" I said feeling victorious.

"Fine you win" she said defeated and I lifted some weight before I crush her but that was a mistake. she fiddled forward and grabbed my phone hitting play on the voice note that came in.

"So when are you going to ask Ann"my mum's voice sounded out in glee. And my body tensed with Ann looking confused.

"ask me what" she asked and I had to think fast.

Think

Think

Think

"Oh well I wanted to ask you if you would like to go to school together" I said and she smiled.

"I would love to but you know I can't" she replied and I let out a sigh of relief.

"Ok no problem just wanted to know"

"Come on, let's go to bed" she suggested and I followed her.

* Ann's POV*

We watched variety of movies and cuddled up on the bed until ash zoned out and slept of while I was full of energy.

I scrolled through my phone contemplating on who to call and my thumb landed on Bella's name. Three rings after her beautiful faced popped up on my screen.

"Sup baby" she greeted.

"Hey" I grinned.

"How are you...what made you call at 11:46pm" she asked looking at me suspiciously.

"Boredom"

"Where is ash" she asked and I showed her a knocked out Liam.

"How bout Ella" I asked and Bella tiled her phone a little exposing a concentrated Ella painting her nails with rollers in her hair wearing a pink and black PJ.

"Hey" I squealed and she looked at me in shock then smiled. Ash also shifted cause of my noise but settled once again.

"Sup b" she waved

"Cool...what are y'all up too"

"Nothing its our birthday soon so I'm planning the party" Bella informed.

"But its October 20th...its gonna be in school"

"Yeah but we'll celebrate it  Sunday night with our friends then come to school on monday and again on our actually birthdays" Ella replied.

"Ok cool plan"

"Sorry to cut our chat but we have some dolling up to do....ttyl" they waved and ended the call.

I guess I should get some beauty sleep too.

Many shifts,turns and frustration grunts later I decided to face the fact that I can't sleep, I checked my phone and it was 5minutes to 1am. I turned to face Liam and studied he's beautiful face as the moonlight kisses he's glorious features making him look absolutely stunning.

I snuggled closer to him and couldn't resist planting a light kiss on his lips, again and again until he gently captured mine with his when I pecked him, kissing me for some good solid seconds savouring the moment before he let go and opened he's eyes passing a hand through my hair.

"Sorry for waking you" I said placing my hand on his cheek.

"Its ok...what's wrong"

"I can't sleep" I confessed.

"Just try to baby" he said drifting once again and I poked he's cheek.

"You can't ignore me....if I can't sleep,you can't sleep" I cooed still poking his dimple and he groaned.

"Should I sing you to sleep" he offered and I was thrilled by the idea of hearing him sing.

"Sure, I've never heard you sing before" I said and he chuckled lightly.

"In your dreams" he replied and I pitched him.

"Uggh ok I'm awake" he groaned and lazily got out of bed and headed for the bathroom.

Moments later he came out looking fully awake and sat on the bed next to me. "You know this is your fault" I said innocently.

"I know, and seeing that your not gonna sleep anytime soon...I'm gonna fix it"

"How"

"I'm taking you out"

"Are you crazy...its way passed midnight, its dangerous" I reasoned and he cupped my face looking intensively into my deep chocolate eyes and I could melt under his amber ones.

"Your safe with me...just get dressed and be ready in 15mins" he instructed

"But how are we gonna pass the security... You have a plan right"

"Yes...we get dressed, enter the car and I tell the guard to open the fucking gate" he said bluntly

"We're not going to a club are we?"

"No ,trust me you'll like it"

and I nodded going to my room.

* Asher's POV*

I entered my closet and wore a plane black shirt with a big dark blue hoodie over it, black sweatpants and vans. I walked over to collect the tiny black box on the top shelf and stared at its content contemplating.... I guess its time.

Ann walked in wearing a black and red short flowery dress with boots and a small bag wearing a small gold necklace with matching earrings.

"Don't you want to wear something warmer...it looks chilly" I said kissing her forehead and she nodded.

"I can handle a little breeze"

"Suit yourself" I shrugged.

We walked up to my personal garage and let her scan through.

"So which car" I asked.

"Grey that's roofless" she pointed and I rolled my eyes at her lack of car expertise. I opened the door for her and getting out on the streets was as easy as pie.

I glanced at her a few times as she admires the stars in the sky and placed my right hand high up her thigh and a bright red blush creeper up her cheeks and tried to hide it by facing away.

"Tonight is really beautiful" she said suddenly and I agreed with her.

"Could you please tell me where we're going"

"Its a surprise"

"Are we close"

"Very"

After the 35min ride I parked the car and got out, opening her door for her to climb out and her face lit up taking in her surroundings.

"The beach" she said in awe "its pretty"

"Shall we" I offered taking her hand and we started walking.

"Why did you bring me here" she asked suddenly and I looked down at her.

"My mum and I used to come here anytime my dad wasn't around especially at night just to think and enjoy each other's company...my mum loves water, she likes how the moonlight reflects on the water and the tides washes against her feet" I explained.

"She's right...its amazing"

"I wanted to share this moment with you...just to walk,talk, take in the beautiful before us" I said and she sat near the water feeling the water tickle her feet and I joined her.

"Water reminds me of peace...I like it" she said and I nodded taking out my phone to listen to some music and I plugged in my airpod to my left ear and one to hers.

"Pick a song" I offered and she scrolled through my playlist admiring my diverse songs choices.

"Thinking out loud" she whispered and hit play and I chucked to he option.

"You wanna dance" I said standing up and she nodded giving me her hand and I lifted her from the ground.

I took her arms from the side of her body and wrapped it round my heck holding her close to my body by her waist as we dance in silence. She started feeling the song and danced with all joy and I followed her rhythm before slowing down again.

"This is amazing" she said looking up at me.

"Your amazing" I said and kissed her lips.

The song slowly died down and the next song was call out my name by the weekend. We sat back down and she looked at me.

"Ash could you please sing for me" she asked with hope in her eyes.

"Do I have to" I whined and she nodded.

"Ok but don't laugh"

* Ann's POV *

I waited eagerly for ash to start and he closes he's eyes following the song that was coming next.

We found each other

I helped you out of a broken place

You gave me comfort

But falling for you was a mistake

He's voice was smooth and soothing, nothing like I expected, he sounded amazing. He then opened he's eyes giving into the song and gave me a little show.

I put you on top ×2

I claimed you so proud and openly

And when times were rough ×2

I made sure I held you close to me

He sang so well, I couldn't help but join him in the part I knew too well

So call out my name (call out my name)

Call out my name when I  kiss you so gently

I want you to stay( I want you to stay)

I want you to stay, even though you dont want me.

He sang holding my hand as if he wanted me to get the message.

Girl, why can't you wait( why can't you wait baby)

Girl, why cant you wait till I fall out of love

Won't you Call out my name (call out my name)

Girl call out my name and I'll be on my way

He sang with so much passion and looked at me holding my face closely

I said I didn't feel nothing baby, but I lied

I almost cut a piece of myself for your life

Guess I...

My heart raced inside my chest at his words and he looked at my lips then back to my eyes inching closer and cut the song smashing his lips against mine, I leaned back at the pressure of his body as he hovered over me deepening the kiss. He kissed my cheek, jawline ,neck pleasuring me and broke it looking at me.

"Come on, let's go to the car...sand is getting into your hair" he said getting up and dusting me.

He carried me walking back to the car and opened it easy sitting at the back sit with me on his lap...good thing I wore a dress.

We just sat there playing with each other's fingers and listening to music when he finally spoke up.

"Ann" he called out gaining my attention and I hummed in response smiling at him.

"I have something to tell you" he said looking emotionally serious and I paid more attention.

"Its hard" he confessed.

"You can say it...you know hard words leat to great destinations" I said cupping his face so he could look at me. At this moment love me harder by Ariana Grande came up and I smiled to it

"I broke my walls for you...

No rather you broke my walls" he said and I rubbed my thumb against his cheek to urge him to go on.

"I tried to be strong, not to let my self fall so deep...because I just end up crashing. I've felt so much pain in so many ways and thought the world was just horrible but I met you and you just lit it up" he said and kissed my hands.

"I can't promise to fix all your problems but I promise you that you won't face them alone" I said kissing his  forehead and resting mine against his.

"You found parts of me I didn't know existed and in you I found a love I no longer believed was real" he said kissing my cheek then neck, nibbling on it for a while then kissed my shoulder.

"I'm addicted to you...your smile, your lips, your body, your personality, your love.... I love you" he confessed and got off my shoulder to look at me and I froze hearing the last 3 words.

"What?" I asked astonished.

"I love you" he repeated and I couldn't believe my ears.

"Oh really...if you love me prove it...scream it to the world" I laughed and he smiled leaning against my ear.

"I love you" he whispered.

"Why did you whisper to me" I asked confused.

"Because your my world" he smirked and I looked at him feeling all the emotions building up

Before I knew it I smashed my lips against his wrapping my arms around him and he did the same. It was eager but yet sweet, feeling all the love through that kiss...it was not like any of the other kisses.

He loves me...he really does love me.

It was not until I felt the hot  liquid that I realized I was crying and he broke the kiss.

"Why are you crying" he asked whipping the tear away.

"You make me so happy...I love you ash, so fucking much" I said hugging him.

"That's all i needed to here, But that's not all" he said and brought out a small black box.

He opened it to reveal a beautiful diamond crown ring and another rose gold diamond one. I looked at it thinking it was all a dream but its not.

"But why" I I said lowly as more tears ran down.

"Would you Ann parker make me the luckiest 17 year old and be my girlfriend" he proposed and I thought for a minute.

What the fuck are you thinking about...say yes

"Yes" I nodded and he slipped the two rings on my ring finger.

"Do you like it" he asked as I admired it and I nodded still feeling speechless.

"Good cause it was fucking expensive" he said bluntly and I rolled my eyes.

"And that's what I wanted to ask you... To be my girlfriend, my official Queen. My mum was in the planning committee" he confessed kissing the side of me head.

"Ash" I finally spoke.

"I'm cold" I sheepishly said and he laughed taking of his hoodie and gave it to me.

"I know I was just waiting for you to admit it" he said and I punched his shoulder.

"We better started going" I suggested and I stood up from his lap and went to the front seat and he sat down on the driver's seat. Once we were all buckled up, I wore the hoodie loving ,Asher's scent on it and looked at him.

"I love you very much" I said and pecked him on his lips.
