Chapter Eight - Sneaking out (Part 1 of 2)

(Hello everyone, I thought I would say hello to you all 😊 hope you are all well. What do you think, will Asher being nice stick or do you think he will go back to old habits? Let me know your thoughts. I will try and get part two up tomorrow)

Farrah

I had spent most of my day and night with Asher at his house. It has been a good day. He wasn’t acting like an ass, just hope it stay that way this time. He won’t be getting another chance if he goes all jackass on me again.

“I should head home, it is nearly curfew,” I said, sitting up.

We were laying in his bed watching another movie. It was good to hang out with him without his remarks and trying to hit on me.

“Yes, we don’t want you to be late,” He said, “Come on then, I will take you home,” He added.

I nodded, and we both got to our feet. I wanted to stay a little longer, but I know I couldn’t. And tomorrow was a school day, so it is best I go home when I am supposed to. My parents don’t mind sometimes, but they wouldn’t be happy if I made a habit of it. I got my shoes and coat on, and we headed out.

Asher’s Grandma was already in bed. We said our goodnights to her earlier. Asher led me to his car,

“What are your plans for the rest of the night?” I asked.

“I am not sure yet,” He said, “Maybe go see the guys for the bit or something else, or go home,” He added shrugging.

“Maisie?” I asked softly.

I had a feeling that something else was hers. I know it wasn’t anything to do with me, but I was hoping that isn’t where Asher was going. I know it shouldn’t bother me, but it does, a little. I will keep that information to myself.
“Nah, not tonight,” He said, “I am sure she will be mad at me tomorrow for it,” He added, laughing.

I swear I think somewhere is Maisie’s head. She believes Asher is more than he is to her. I did feel a little bad for her because he uses her, but at the same time, she lets him. What happens between them, again, is none of my business.

“Cool,” I said, smiling brighter than I mean to.

“Cool?” He chuckled, “I see you aren’t even trying to hide that you are happy about it,” He added, shaking his head.

I think my bright smile gave me away.

“I don’t know what you mean,” I giggled, and turned away from him.

“Sure thing,” He laughed, and got the car started.

He could have said more to me about it, teased me about it, but I am happy he didn’t. Hopefully, that will be it dropped.

“What about you? Plans for when you get home?” He asked.

“Shower, pjs, read and sleep,” I said, “That is how exciting it gets for me,” I added, laughing.

“Hmm, you have said that more than once to me,” He said, “I think we need to change that. Sneak back out and come and meet me,” He added.

“What, tonight?” I asked, and he nodded, “I don’t know if that is such a good idea,” I added.

“I think it is a great idea,” He said, “Wait until your parents are in bed, text me and I will come back and get you,” He added.

And what were we going to do at that time of night? There isn’t much to do, not around here.

“And do what? Everything is closed,” I said.

“I will find something for us to do,” He said, “Come on, sweetness, sneak out for me,” He added.

I had a feeling he wouldn’t let it go until I agreed. I found myself nodding. Asher smiled widely at me, pleased with himself that he is getting me to be naughty. We arrived at my house, and I told Asher when my parents usually go to bed, so he knew roughly when to start heading back over here.

“I will see you again, soon,” I said.

“Looking forward to it, gorgeous,” He smirked.

I went to open the door, but as I did, Asher placed his hand on my arm, and I turned around to face him. He had his seatbelt off and was only inches away from me.

“If I remember correctly, you still owe me a kiss from earlier,” He said.

“And how did you come to that conclusion?” I asked.

“Because you were a little tease before we went down for dinner,” He said.

Hmm, to kiss him or not to kiss him. I think not. It is my turn to mess with him. I acted like I was to reach in and kiss him, but I didn’t. I patted his cheek with my hand.

“Not happening bad boy,” I said, pulling away.

I quickly got out of the car and turned to look at him.

“You are so mean,” He pouted.

“Call it punishment,” I giggled, closing the car door.

I heard him laugh loudly from inside the car. I smirked to myself and headed inside. It was a weird feeling, me being able to do that to him. I have not been like that before. Asher must release something in me when he is around. Strange. I kind of like it though.

I headed inside, catching up with my parents for a little while before heading to my room. Now, all I need to do is wait for them to go to bed. I can’t believe he has me sneaking out again. I guess it could be worse. He could be getting me into real trouble, worse trouble. I slipped under my covers, so my parents would see I still had my clothes on rather than my nightwear when they come in to say goodnight. I grabbed my book, reading to keep myself occupied until later.

***
My parents had finally fallen asleep. I thought it would have been sooner than this, but not tonight. Asher has been waiting outside for twenty minutes. I am surprised he hasn’t left yet. I sneaked out of my room and downstairs. I quietly closed the front door before rushing to Asher’s car and getting in. I told him to drive straight away in case someone saw us.

“I thought you had stood me up,” He laughed.
“Nope! My parents are usually sleeping way before now,” I giggled, “Where are we going?” I added.

“The look-out,” He said.

I have heard people from school mention that place. It is the highest point of the town. You can see the entire town from it. And I am sure that is where they go to make-out and hook-up.

“Um, I know what people go there for, and if you think that is what will be happening, you can think again,” I said sternly.

Asher let out a chuckle and shook his head.

“Would you relax? We are not going there for that,” He said, “It is a good view, and at this time it will be quiet at this time,” He added.

“Hmm, just so you know,” I said, “I know how your teenage brain works,” I added, giggling.

“I do not know what you mean, Miss Farrah,” He said, “I am as pure as you are. I have not even kissed a girl,” He added teasingly.

All I could do was roll my eyes and laugh. Yes, no one would fall for the crap when it comes to him. Everyone knows him too well. Asher and I made fun of each other for the rest of the ride, until we arrived at our destination. There was not a single person or car in sight. We were the only ones here. Thank God! The last thing I need is someone from school being here. I can only imagine what they would think.

“You will love the view from here,” Asher said.

“I am sure I will,” I smiled.

We got out of the car, sitting on the front of his car. My eyes went wide at the view in front of me. It was beautiful. It was like a ghost town. All the lights were incredible.

“Wow!” I said, smiling at him.

“I thought you would like it,” He said.

Maybe sneaking out wasn’t a bad idea after all. It was worth it for sure.
