he's back
Chloe
UUU why are you calling me this early
anna
Well good morning to you to best friend" I say in an oddly sarcastic tone
anna
Hey I was wondering if you want to get coffee later
anna
And here I was thinking you'd be excited to see me,,
Chloe
Well of course I want to see you, but he can come he doesn't have to be there though, but you know it'd be fun right 😅
Chloe and I have been best friends since 6th grade when we accidentally bumped into each other in the corridor and I accidentally broke her glasses and she broke my favorite flask
We decided to start a lemonade stall together during the summer to buy back our things without telling our parents
They later found out, and we were both grounded together and since then we swore to stick together
also Chloe might have a tiny crush on my older brother Noah 🤭 though she claims it's not that serious but it's pretty obvious,,
anna
you'd love that wouldn't you
noah
Are you going to sleep all day
anna
Aaargh speak of the devil I'll text you later Chloe Noah is here
Chloe
really, what is he wearing 🫣
anna
Chloe stop we are not having this conversation again bye girl
I put my phone away before she responds
Turning my attention Noah who is standing in the middle of my room with very ugly duck pajamas
anna
noaaaaah it's Saturday what do you want
noah
Well good morning to you too dots
noah
Well sorry to cut your little tantrum session short but you need to get up and get ready were leaving at 10:00
noah
Ooooh opsie ,, I forgot to tell you
anna
Forgot to tell me what noah
noah
we're going to the airport
noah
To pick up Asher he's back in town and he is going to be living with us for the next couple of months before he gets his own place fixed
noah
So hurry up you know how he is when people arrive late
anna
wait Asher as in ASHER SMITH??
noah
"No Asher McDonalds ""
noah
Of course Asher smith A.k.a my best friend whom I haven't seen in 7 years " so get ready I'll go tidy up his room
Noah walks out and leaves me to be swallowed by my thoughts
anna
Wait no no no this can't be happening
anna
Asher is coming back?
I've had a crush on Asher since the first day I saw him
Both of my parents are lawyers which means there not really at home that much ,, so they decide to look for a place where we could call home
They found a nice peaceful neighborhood in New York Manhattan and hired a nanny to take care of us
as we were unpacking our things a ball flew from across the fence and hit my face where Noah found it very funny as I threw my little tantrum stomping my feet on the ground a young boy around Noah's age came to take the ball ,, his mother came rushing after him and apologized to us all my mother said it was okay and invited them over ,Noah and Asher actually had a lot in common and because friends instantly,, I on the other hand was captivated by him for some reason
Since then Noah was at our house more than he was at his place
My parents were never really home so it was just the three of us
How ever I later found out that his dad had passed away that's why he and his mom moved here
His mom was an air hostess so just like us she was rarely home so my brother treated him as the brother he never had though as days went by my crush on Noah grew when I met Chloe it was pretty easy for her to figure it out
My brother always said that we were all siblings hence I felt guilty for liking him
when Noah and Asher turned 18 my parents decided the nanny could go because they were old enough to take care of themselves and me
Soon after Asher left for abroad to go and study medicine when he left I decided it was high time I let go of that stupid teenage crush ,, because I never thought I'd see him again
anna
I guess I really have no choice but to face this
i check the time and it's already 9:30 ooooh my goshhhh Noah is gonna kill me if I'm late I jump of my bed and hit the shower I pick out whatever I could find and for my makeup I go for the most natural look I could get
By the time I'm done it's already 10:20
As I open the front door I come face to face with a very angry looking noah
He honks and I quickly jump in
noah
I knew I should have woken you up earlier
I don't say anything because he seems pretty mad
my thoughts slowly drift off to Asher
it's only then that I realize I haven't seen him in 7 years I wonder if he still looks the same
when the car stops I snap out of my thoughts completely embarrassed at what I was thinking about
noah
What are you thinking about your almost drooling
anna
Let's go find Asher " I say changing the topic
As soon as we got off the car I see a tall figure pulling a suitcase walking towards us
They quickly do their little handshake and I just awkwardly stand there
noah
I've missed you menh you've changed so much
asher
Well med school isn't exactly what you think 😂
I cough pulling them out of their little moment
Asher turns to look at me and since we got there I look at him like really look and damn Noah wasn't wrong he had really changed,
He was no longer the little childish brothers best friend but he was actually a man now a really good looking one,,
wait I'm staring at him nooo
asher
well if it isn't my little dots
He hates it when I call him by his second name
asher
wow your not so little any more
anna
Well yes so don't call me that
asher
Fisty as always I see
noah
I called her that this morning, and she almost blew my head off
they both laugh and I get into the car they get in, and I sit at the back where Asher gets my spot
They blast their music in the car and soon after we're home
I get off first and remembering I didn't have breakfast I rush for the fridge
By the time they get in my mouth is stuffed
asher
Always with the eating dots
noah
I swear she's never fully
anna
Noah if you don't shut up I will shove this entire orange down your throat
He raises his hands in surrender and leaves to go get Noah's luggage from the car
I pour some apple juice into my glasse and I bend to return it into the fridge
shoot I forgot Asher (ash ) is right behind me I straight up and turn around and if my eyes didn't decive me I swear he was totally checking me out
anna
Want some ? I ask showing him the glass
asher
Yeah I wouldn't mind
I bend to get the juice again and this time I was totally sure he was checking my ass out
I reach for the shelf to grab a glass but it's out of my 5'3 reach
Before I could think of what to do I felt a warm hard body right behind me and I knew it had to be Ash ,
He reached for the glass and without any notice I turned to face him which left no space between us I looked at his eyes and for the first time ever I realized they were the prettiest shade of brown I had ever seen
Noah's voice echoes through the house as he walks into the kitchen and Asher manages to pull away just in time
noah
here's your stuff Anna will help you take it to your room and I'll make arrangements for tonight how does that sound
anna
He knows his room it's not his first time here you know he can do it himself
anna
Uuurgh fineeee follow me
I pick up his luggage and as I walk up the stairs I hear him tell back to Noah invite Cassie and I just roll my eyes
When Noah and Asher were in high school they were major play boys and Cassie was Asher's favorite one-night stand she always wanted more, but Asher didn't
I thought maybe he was changed now, but it turns out I was wrong
anna
Well here you are , your room
this was our guest room, but literally it was more like his room, when we were you he mostly slept over, and he stayed in that room, so technically it was his
anna
Everything here is pretty much the same how you left it but your toiletries are in the bathroom and anything else I believe you can manage
And without letting him say a word I walked out
I don't know why but the fact that he still wants to see Cassie after all those years made me feel somehow upset, and I don't know why
On the phone " ring ring"
Chloe
Hey girl I'll be out soon
anna
change of plans could you come to my house we have a lot to talk about
Chloe
ooh alright I'll be there in an hour
Soon after Noah calls out to me and they head out
