Chapter 0180
Well, despite a very different start to my day, and a very rushed preparation for work, | don't think I had stopped
smiling all day. In spite of the slight delay ingetting ready for work, thanks to Asher and his “distractions”,
shall we say, | amazingly still made it to work with minutes to spare, giving the excuse that | had slept through
my alarm. But, it was so worth it, because he had madefeel so wanted. So good about myself. He made me
feel almost whole again in a way | didn't think was possible, not that | would ever admit that to him. He seemed
to wantfor being me.
He had seenat sof my weaker moments, he had seenwithout my make up, when my hair was in its
natural curly state, and he still wanted me. He knew how | liked to read... in fact, on the many nights we had sat
in the lounge watching TV, we talked about my studies, the books | enjoyed, and he never once judged me, or
made a negative comment. He sawas me, flaws and all, yet he still seemed to want me. It was the strangest
feeling, yet the most amazing feeling... the most freeing feeling...
The day seemed to fly by, with thoughts of Asher on my mind, as well as because | looked forward to my sister
coming. She knew what t| was due to finish work and had agreed to caround then. | hated disappointing
Asher when he said he wanted us to spend the night together tonight. | would have loved nothing more, but |
had already arranged this with my sister, and she needed my support. | needed to step up and be the big sister
she needed right now. | knew how low Miles could stoop. The pain he could cause, and | didn't want it to cause
my sister damage.
As | brought my class to a close for the day, and sent the children out one by one to their parents, | saw Asher
waiting outside with the parents, makingsmile. He was not doing much to hide the fact he was waiting for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtme. So much for trying to be discreet...
Once all the children had left the classroom, Asher walked up to the side doorway of my classroom where the
children had left, a big smile upon his face. Gone was the dark and moody Beta | had met, this was a completely
different guy, of that there was no doubt... "That has to have been one of the longest days ever!" he grumbled.
And | giggled. “I don't know, | think it went quite fast.” I told him, and he rolled his eyes.
"Evidently | did not do a good enough job this morning then!" he whispered as he moved closer and slipped his
arms aroundas we moved inside my classroom. "Or else you would have been struggling to think of much
else, and would not be able to wait to seeagain."
| giggled again. “Oh, is that right?" | poked him lightly in the chest. "And is that what you plan to do to me, is it?"
"Too right!" he wiggled his eyebrows atsuggestively. "When | get the opportunity, of course." He stuck his
bottom out at me, pretending to sulk. Obviously referencing the fact he wasn't able to spend talone with me
for a little while with my sister visiting.
"You are such a child!" | rolled my eyes. "What happened to good things cto those who wait?"
"Hmmm, | think | got tired of waiting."
| laughed. “I am sure you will be worth the wait. | don't think | have stopped smiling all day." | admitted, and his
face broke into a big smile.
"Now, that I like the sound of." He
softly kissed the top of my head, before lowering his lips to my ear. "I would kiss you properly, but one, knowing
our luck, somebody would walk in, and two, after this morning, | am not quite sure that | could stop. And taking
you over your work desk, as fun as that sounds, is not what I envisioned our first tto be." He winked at me,
and | felt my cheeks flushing at his words. He could be so bad sometimes... who would have thought behind that
dark and moody exterior there was this Asher hiding away... my Asher...
"I do think the classroom may be a little dangerous, though your office could be fun." | told him with a little wink
of my own, thinking two could play at being bad... and his eyes lit up at my suggestion.
"Ooohh, Miss West, it seems, you
definitely aren't the sweet and innocent young thing you make yourself out to be. | like it!" he chuckled. And | am
sure | could find

office. He wiggled his brows.
suggestively once more, causingto giggle, just as the classroom door opened. Thankfully, this twe were
only standing next to one another, and not actually touching, so we only looked like we were chatting.
“Bailey, have you... Oh, Beta Asher. Nice to see you again." Alli said calmly, her voice a little more formal than
usual. "More business to discuss with Bailey, | assume?"
