LILY’S POV♡Â
It’s been two months since Asher and I have started seeing each other secretly. We’ve grown closer and I think I have fallen more in love with him, if that was even possible.Â
Today is Noel and Rose’s birthday and I’m currently in class contemplating what will be the perfect gift for them. Noel’s a bit of a free spirited person and hopefully he will like the gift I can come up with. Rose on the other hand doesn’t even like being wished happy birthday, far less receiving a gift and celebrating it. She actually doesn’t like to be reminded that it is her birthday, something about aging too fast and it gives her anxiety. Noel on the other hand loves attention on his birthday and is definitely a party guy.Â
“Lily, are you paying attention?” Ms. Lilac asked, her face fuming as she looked at me in annoyance. I looked at her with guilt before Rebecca decided to answer for me.Â
“No, she’s too busy daydreaming about her none existent love life.” She said with a wicked smirk, making everyone laugh at my expense.Â
I turned towards her, glaring holes in her head before asking “Rebecca, what does my love life have to do with you?”Â
Her mouth gaped as she stuttered for a comeback, as everyone looked and giggled at her like she was the most idiotic person here. She was about to retort when Ms. Lilac decided to stop her by hitting the desk making everyone jump.Â
“Everyone quiet down!” She fumed. Everyone did just that, except Rebecca, who decided to take her bag and leave, banging the door dramatically. Rolling my eyes at her, I went back to listening to Ms. Lilac, who was on the topic of teens on social media.Â
Five minutes later and class was over. I stayed behind packing my bag and then decided to give Rose a call to see if she thinks that my gift would be goodÂ
enough for her brother. On the second ring, she picked up sounding exhausted.Â
“Yes?” She asked while yawning.Â
“What’s wrong?” I asked.Â
“Noel is what’s wrong, that little bitch has been talking in my ears the whole night about his party.” She yelled through the phone and I could picture her pulling at her hair in frustration.Â
“Oh my god, is he having a party again? I thought it would just be us three tonight doing a marathon of Pretty Little Liars.” I whined, fully knowing that the party would be too much. Last time he had someone bring tigers and lions while he tried to fit an elephant in the building. The owner called the cops and we had to bail him out while he complained about us not helping him not fit the elephant.Â
“Yes, and he has been nagging about bringing strippers to the apartment.” She said, sounding annoyed.Â
“Strippers?” I gasped.Â
“Yes, so I made a deal with him. If he wants strippers, then he can only invite ten people to the apartment.” She said, and I could hear her chopping something in the background.Â
“I’m definitely not coming over.” I told her definitely.Â
“Oh yes you are, you little shit! I’m not suffering this alone.” She yelled at me, and I could tell she is thinking of ways to kill me if I don’t show up.Â
“Geez, fine. I’ll come but I’ll stay inom.” I sighed.Â
“Deal!” She chirped.Â
“So speaking of Noel, do you think a thong would be the best gift?” I asked her. Noel clearly doesn’t like to stay with clothes on for long…Â
“Thong? I hope you’ll be wearing it for me tonight.” Asher said behind me as he snaked his arms around me, pulling me flush on his front. I jumped as wasn’t expecting him to be here and I totally forgot about Rose as I turned towards him as I buried my head on his chest, smelling his manly scent that IÂ

love.Â
“Who the fuck is that?” Rose asked, making me open my eyes as I realized she must’ve heard Asher. Not knowing what to do, I didn’t answer her and hung up. I put the phone in my back pocket as I looked at Asher cheekily. He kissed me before I broke it.Â
“Was thong the only thing you heard, perv?” I asked him, laughing at his horny self. He pulled me closer, gripping my ass in a possessive way.Â
“Yep. So will you be wearing it tonight? Because I would enjoy banging you on the counter, the table…” He listed, but I cut him off by giving him a peck and chuckled at him when he squeezed my ass.Â
I rolled my eyes. “About the thong, it’s actually a gift for a friend and about tonight, I won’t be coming over since I’ll be at Noel’s birthday party.” I said.Â
“I don’t like when you talk about this Noel guy.” He groaned in annoyance while he squeezed me lightly.Â
Getting out of his arms I rolled my eyes at him. “Oh my god Asher, he’s gay!”Â
“Well how would I have known? You never told me.” He replied sheepishly, scratching his head in embarrassment. I chuckled as I passed my hand through his hair teasingly and let him pull me back into a hug. “Can’t you come over after the party then?” He asked, desperation in his tone.Â
“I can’t, I promised Rose and Noel a sleepover.” I softly spoke.Â
“Ugh. My night would seriously suck without you.” He groaned and buried his head in my neck, giving it a light kiss.Â
“One night without having me won’t kill you, Asher.” I giggle, making him groan.Â
“I’ve heard blue balls actually does kill.” He told me, pulling away.Â
“You’re such a horny shit.” I joked as I took my bag ready to leave. I really didn’t want anyone to catch us in an intimate position. Knowing Asher, he would surely try to seduce me right there.Â
“Only for you babe.” He winked, making me roll my eyes.Â
He scratched his head nervously before saying. “So there is a game this Friday and I would like for you to be there.”Â
I looked at him shocked before answering him truthfully. “I don’t like crowds, Asher.”Â
“Please, you’ll be my lucky charm, I’ll definitely win.” He begged and got on his knees.Â
“Okay fine, but I’m not staying for long and I’m definitely not going to the after party.” I sighed and gestured for him to get up. He got up and kissed me happily.Â
“Fine by me, plus you’ll be riding me all night, so bonus.” He shrugged.Â
