Chapter Eleven - End goal

Asher

I was waiting for Farrah to come and pick me up. I called her earlier to make sure she was still coming. I was not giving her the chance to change her mind.

“I am curious, Asher, are you and Farrah dating?” My Grandma asked.

“No, we are only friends,” I said.

“Are you sure?” She asked.

“Yes, I am sure I would know if I was dating her,” I laughed.

“Oh well, that is a shame because she is a nice girl,” Grandma said, “And she would be good for you. Better than all those other girls,” She added.

I let out another chuckle and reached in and kissed her cheek.

“We are only friends, don’t get your hopes up,” I said, “Plus, she is too good for someone like me,” I added.

No, I was not looking to date her, anything of the sorts, but it would not work even if I did want that. Farrah was too sweet for a guy like me. I will stick to what I know. Screwing around and breaking hearts.

“Nonsense,” She said, shaking her head, “There is nothing wrong with you. You have just had it harder than most your age,” She added.

“Thanks, Grandma,” I said, “I am going to out and wait, Farrah won’t be long,” I added.

I hugged her, telling her I love her and then went outside to wait. I was looking forward to a chilled sort of night with my buddies, gaming and a little smoke. Farrah being there is a bonus. And the more time I am around her, the more I can work on her.

I got pulled out of my thought when I hear a car pull up. I smirked when I see it was Farrah. I made my way over to the vehicle, and Violet was already in it. I hopped into the back.

“Hey,” I said, smiling brightly at them.

“Hey,” Violet said softly.

“Hello,” Farrah said, smiling back at me, “You will need to direct me,” She added.

“I will,” I said, “I honestly thought the two of you were going to cancel at the last minute,” I added.

“We thought about it,” Farrah giggled.

I am glad they chose to come. I gave direction, and Farrah got on the way. I rested back on the seat, messing with my phone. I looked up for a moment and caught Farrah looking at me in the mirror. I smirked and winked at her. I watch her face go red before she turns away. She wants me. I don’t doubt it, and if she asks, she can have me, well to a certain extent. I am alright with some heated make-out session and a little touching to begin with. We can go from there.

I caught her doing it another couple of times, but I didn’t respond. I don’t want to embarrass her. I will bring it up later when we are alone. I tried my best to keep a conversation with them. It wasn’t easy; they are as bad as each other when it comes to chatting. I hope as the night goes on; they will relax.

“Just this house here, the one with the red car in the driveway,” I said.

Farrah parked the car, and I was expecting them to get out, but none of them seemed to be moving.

“Um, you need to get out the car before we can go in,” I laughed, “You don’t need to be nervous, there is only like three of us, plus you two. It isn’t anything crazy,” I added.

I dread to think how boring their everyday lives are, mainly if they act like this because they will be hanging out with the three guys. It took a moment, but I convinced them to move. I slipped my hand slowly around Farrah’s waist. She shuddered but let me. We all headed in.

“Dickhead’s where you at?” I called out.

“BASEMENT, PRICK,” Stuart called back, laughing.

“Well aren’t all of you nice to each other,” Farrah chuckled, shaking her head.

“Yes,” I said.

We made our way down to the basement. The basement was Stuart’s playroom if you like. He had his TV, games console, laptop, music system and whatever else. He was a spoiled brat, but he isn’t one for bragging about it. His parents are wealthy, and he is an only child, so he gets what he wants.

We greeted the guys, the girls giving them a shy smile and a wave.

“Are you two always this shy and quiet?” Stuart laughed.

“We just need to get them out of their shells a little,” I said.

“Good luck with that,” Farrah snickered.

“Ladies make yourself comfortable,” Stuart said, “If you are hungry or thirsty help yourselves,” He added.

Violet took the free chair, and I led Farrah over to the sofa to sit with me. I rested my hand on her knee, trying to get her to relax. I could feel the guys looking at me. I turned to them, and both of them were smirking at me. I know what they are thinking. They are wondering why I was acting the way I was around Farrah.

I flipped them off, and they turned away. Farrah looked at me, a little confused. I smiled and left it at that.

***
It has taken a couple of hours, but the girls had finally relaxed. Violet was kicking Stuart and Lennon’s ass on the Xbox. I was finding it all very entertaining. Farrah was sitting with me, her legs resting over my lap. Farrah was happy just chatting and listening to the music, munching away on cheese puffs.

“See, it wasn’t so bad coming here,” I smiled.

“No, it wasn’t,” She said, smiling back at me.

I reached in, tucking the hair behind her ear and grazed her cheek with my fingers. She gave me a soft smile and then diverted her eyes away from me. I chuckled, pulling my hand away. What I wanted to do was kiss her, badly. I liked her lips, and I like my lips have been the only ones to touch hers. It gave my ego a boost if you like, and I wonder what other first I can get her to give me along with the kiss.

“I am going to make sure you have fun,” I said, “Not only tonight,” I added.

“And what does this fun entail?” She asked, with a raised brow.

“Nothing too wild,” I said, “Get you out more for starts. Introduce you to parties, maybe a little alcohol somewhere along the line. Hmm, maybe a little making out,” I added.

“Yeah, that probably will not happen,” She giggled, shaking her head.

“I can be very convincing,” I said confidently.

“Nope, not going to work,” She said, firmly.

“We shall see, won’t we,” I said, prodding her nose.

Farrah laughed loudly and did the same back to me. It was good that she seemed more at ease around me, considering how she was the first day I met her.

“Come on, let’s go get some air,” I suggested.

Farrah hesitated for a moment, looking around. When she saw Violet was still having fun, she turned back to me, nodding. She removed her legs from my lap, and I got up. I offered her my hand, which she took, and I helped her to her feet. We didn’t tell the other’s, they were pre-occupied. I placed my hand on the small of her back, leading her upstairs and towards the back yard.

I wanted some alone time with her. I believe if I have her alone, there is a better chance that I can coax a kiss from her, and that is my goal by the end of the night.
