Hello my loves,

I apologize for my lateness but work is becoming more and more hectic. I'm very sorry for that.

I hope you like this part. 

Enjoy :)

I woke up feeling a warm breath over my neck. I moved slightly to see who it was when arms tightened around my waist making me stay in place.

"Go back to sleep, Emberly." Asher's morning voice ordered. What the hell was he doing in bed with me. I immediately looked inside the blanket. Phew, thank goodness I was not naked.

However, my bladder seemed like it was about to explode if I don't relieve myself right now. I tried to pry off his arms from my waist but this resulted in his tightening them even more.

"Asher, I need to pee." I whispered urgently. He mumbled something incoherent before leaving me and turn back on his other side.

I immediately got up from the comfortable bed and ran to the bathroom. Once I was done relieving myself, I got up and walked to the wash basin. While washing my hands, I looked at my reflection in the mirror on the wall. That slap made a nasty mark on my face. Damn Stephan!

Once I was done, I walked back to the room. Part of me was tempted to go back in bed ad lay next to Asher but this was not a habit that I wanted to adopt.

Instead, I let him sleep and walked outside the room. I walked down the stairs and saw Ally and Nick in a discussion. Wait, Nick? What the hell is he doing here?! From behind Nick, I could see the entire gang present.

"Emmy." Ally shouted once she saw me. Once I reached downstairs, she ran towards me and bear-hugged me. "How are you feeling?" She whispered.

"Better. You haven't told anyone, have you?" I asked, fearfully.

"Not yet." She replied. Thank goodness. "But why are you hiding it though?" She enquired.

"I'll tell you later." I replied.

"Morning E." Ryan said cheerfully, taking me in a hug but immediately let go of me. What's wrong with him?

"Good morning, baby." I heard Asher say and soon his muscular arms circled around my waist pulling me closer to him. I felt him peck the corner of my head making my face heat up. "It's not right to leave your boyfriend all alone in bed and simply walk out of the room, is it?" He whispered in my ear making me shiver.

"I-I—"

"Aww, look at this gorgeous couple." Asher's grandmother said walking with a plate of muffins. "Both of you remind me of my young days with your grandfather." She said remembering her days full of bliss. "Anyways, muffins?" She asked holding the plate in the air.

"Yes." All the boys shouted and all of them snatched the muffins from the plate until there were none left. Great, I didn't even get one to eat.

"You can eat from mine." Asher said, placing the muffin in front of my mouth as if sensing my thoughts. I took a bite from it and once I was done, he took a bite too. What is wrong with him? Why is he being so nice to me? Oh yeah, his grandmother is here.

"Emberly, darling, I'll bring some more for you." Asher's grandmother said before leaving the living room.

"So, we are planning to go to the mall. Are you coming Emmy?" Ally asked taking a bite from her muffin.

"Um, I don't know." I responded. Quite frankly, I didn't want to go anywhere. All I wanted was to rest in bed and hide.

"Oh, please, Emmy. Pretty please." Ally pouted making her puppy eyes. Now how am I supposed to say no to that.

"Fine." I replied, defeated.

"So, even you can't deal with her puppy eyes. I thought I was the only one." Nick said making Ally stick her tongue out at him.

"So, we'll go in an hour." Ally said before leaving us.

Asher's grandmother brought us some more muffins. After eating two more muffins, I got up from my seat and walked back to my room to get ready. Since it was a bright day, I decided to wear a pair of shorts and my favourite blue shirt along with my Converse shoes.

Once I was done, I walked outside the room but Asher's muscular body blocked my way. His eyes moved from up to down my body before glaring at me.

"Go and change." He said authoritatively.

"Why?" I asked looking back at my outfit. It seemed good enough.

"Go and change. NOW." He ordered in a hard voice making me wince. I immediately walked back inside and removed my shorts and put a pair of skinny jeans instead and walked back to where he was. He looked at me before nodding but his hard stare was still present.

"Here." He handed me his card. I looked at him confused. "I want you to pay for your shopping with this card." He said rolling his eyes.

"No, Asher, thank you." I refused.

"What do you mean no?" He asked, beginning to get annoyed at me. "I want you to take it."

"And I'm refusing." I argued back.

He sighed heavily. "Do you always have to be this difficult, Emberly?" Somehow, I felt that he was meaning something else when he said this.

"Yes, I have to be this difficult. Now let me go." I bickered.

"I'm not letting you go before you take this fucking card." He growled. I guess I just have to take this card so that he stops pestering me.

"Fine." I said, taking the card unwillingly before moving past him.

"Be careful and if anything happens, just call me." Asher said behind me.

"You're not coming?" I asked a little bit disappointed. Part of me really wanted him to come.

"No, I have some work to do." He said, avoiding eye contact.

"Okay." I replied before going downstairs.

"Should we go?" Ally asked once I was down.

"Yeah."

However, before leaving, I saw Asher talking to Caleb in private. I wonder what is going on between both of them.

"Emmy, let's go." Ally said grabbing my hand and pulling me to the car.

Once we were all settled in, Nick got in the driver's seat and started the engine and soon we were being driven to the mall.

"Ally, can we go home now?" I asked for the thousand time. Gosh, I didn't know Ally was such a shopaholic until today. She was walking with at least twelve bags in her hands and was not tired yet. Ally did all the shopping while the boys and I just followed her.

"Just one more store and then we'll go." Ally smiled.

"Ally, that's the eleventh time that you're saying this." I reminded her.

"Oh, please don't be such a spoiler." She replied before entering Tiffany with me following her. She began to look for a ring for her. However, what struck me was this beautiful necklace with the letter E. Wow, it was gorgeous. I was so tempted to buy it. I gingerly looked at the price tag. My eyes widened at the sight of it. Fifteen hundred dollars for a simple necklace. Oh boy!

"Did you find anything?" Ally asked me once she was done.

I looked at the necklace once again before answering no.

"Okay let's go to Victoria's Secret now." Ally said energetically.

I sighed heavily before once again following her.

"Oh my God, Emmy, you need to but this." Ally said showing me a beautiful pair of royal blue panties and bra. It was absolutely gorgeous, just like the models wear during their ramp show.

"No." I replied blushing.

"Oh come on. I bet Asher will be extremely pleased when he sees this. Oh and best of all, you could wear it for your D-Day." Ally said grinning widely.

"D-Day?" I asked confused.

"The day you two have sex." She whispered making me go absolutely red.

"What? No." I covered my face with my hands making her laugh at me.

"Oh, please take it. If you don't wear it, I'll borrow it from you, but please take it. Besides it's on sales." She convinced.

"Okay." I replied and paid for the pair of panties and bra. "Can we go home now?"

"Yep." She said popping the P. "I'll call Nick, I think the boys and him went to buy something to eat."

Once she was done calling them, we both walked to the parking lot and waited for the boys to arrive.

"Have you told Asher about what Stephan did?" Ally asked suddenly serious.

"No. I don't plan on telling him either." I replied.

"Why not?" She crossed her arms on her chest.

"It's not important." I lied. I preferred to keep her out of this. It will be better for her too.

"Not important?" Ally asked incredulously. "Emmy, that guy scared you to death and you're saying it's not important? You do realise that one day or the other Asher will get to know about it right?"

"Yeah, I know." I said defeated.

"You should tell him." Ally said, holding my hand and tightening it. "The boys are coming."

"Did you have fun girls?" Ryan asked taking a seat in front.

"Yep." Ally replied and we all got in.

Half an hour later we reached home. Ally and Nick went to their rooms and I took the stairs to my room.

I was about to reach my room when somebody roughly grabbed my hand, pulling me back.

"Hello hello beautiful." I cringed when I heard the horrible voice of Stephan. I felt disgusted when he called me beautiful.

"What do you want?" I asked in a hard tone, pulling my hand back but this got him to hold it even tighter.

"Ooohh, feisty. Did you forget about yesterday's episode?" He asked in a mocking voice making me shiver.

"Just let me go." I snatched my hand from him.

"Oh, what do we have here? Hmm, Victoria's Secret? How do you know that I love girls who wear those sexy panties?" He asked making me want to throw up all the muffins that I had eaten this morning.

"That's not for you. I bought these for my boyfriend." I said courageously making him narrow his eyes at me.

"Oh of course, you're pretty boy. I wonder what he would say when he will say when I will the one who will fuck his girlfriend." He smiled wickedly at me.

"You're sick." I spat at him.

He simply laughed viciously at me. "Oh, there will be a surprise for you in a week." He said before leaving me alone.

What does he mean by surprise?

I shook my head before going back into my room. I placed the small Victoria's Secret bag on the table before taking a seat on the bed. I wonder what does this sick person like Stephan want to do with me? Can't he just leave me alone?!

I was still in the middle of my thoughts when my phone went off. My eyes immediately brightened when I saw the caller ID. Losing no time , I answered the phone.

"Taylor." I screamed through the phone making him chuckle. Gosh, I missed my best friend so much.

"Hello, my lady." He said in his posh British accent.

"How are you? I missed you so much." I said sadly.

"Missed you too. But don't worry, we'll meet at school." He replied.

I was about to answer back when my phone was snatched from me and a fuming Asher was staring right back at me.

"Listen here Johnson, if you want to stay alive, I suggest you to stop calling my girlfriend." Asher threatened before shutting the phone.

"Why did you threaten him?" I got up and snatched my phone from him, very irritated that he talked to my best friend in such a way.

Asher grabbed my shoulders and violently pushed me against the wall. The vein on his head began to appear. Oh crap!

"You're mine Emberly and I fucking hate sharing what's mine." He growled before roughly smashing his lips to mine and kissing me like there's no tomorrow.

"Remember that." He said, breathing hard and once again brought his lips to mine.
