Like I had said earlier, Kyle had no idea what was coming his way. We arrived at his mansion only to see Alora seated by his porch. The look on his face was priceless. Alora and I rained very hard on him and he had no choice but to reconsider his decision so he here we are, in Alora's car, driving over to Asher's house. She even brought a bowl full of fruit salad which I am devouring right now.
I love Alora so much that I can kill for her. She is the twin sister I do not have.
"That went easier than I had imagined"
"No one can stand an argument with us darling. Queen of Sass and Queen of drama, we make an outstanding duo"
"Definitely!"
"By the way, while you were busy doing whatever it is you were doing, Asher made sure to carry out his legal duties"
"Like?" I ask with uncertainty.
"He already filed a restraining order against Seven and made sure he was notified. So Seven is not allowed to see, talk to or even touch you" She explains and I go speechless.
Well...I knew Asher was going to do it, he never gives his word in vain. I just didn't think it was going to be so soon.
That man!
"Don't look at me like that, you very well know what Asher is capable of doing"
"I just didn't think it was going to be so soon"
"Busted huh?" She asks with a smirk.
"Overly busted"
"That's Asher for you. He also changed your security code and wouldn't tell no matter how much I begged him. So you will just have to get it from him"
"He did get himself hooked up in my matter all day, didn't he?"
"The last will freak you out"
"Oh my God, I can feel my heart already beating faster than it should. What did he do?"
"So... I kind of mentioned that you will be moving in with us, before I could bat one eyelid, he already prepared your bedroom and before I could bat the other eyelid, all your clothes and accessories were already in the bedroom, so yeah, you don't need to bother about your clothes or anything, everything has been sorted out for you"
"Asher is at it again"
"Typical Asher"
"Oh my God!" I suddenly exclaims as I place my palms on both my cheeks.
"What is it?, Is the baby coming?"
"Shut up dummy!, I just remembered you said he got everything covered, that includes my underwear, toiletries and other stuff like that"
"I mean everything sweetheart, I wanted to help him but he refused. He insisted on doing everything alone"
"He what?"
"You heard me right. He even gave me some of your used tampons he mistakenly brought home saying you wouldn't be needing them since you are pregnant and I was like... oh wow, this man is well informed on women issues"
My face becomes totally red on hearing that. Talk of embarrassment, I am currently experiencing the peak of it right now. I don't even know how I am going to face him after knowing that he has seen all my underwear and women stuff.
Gah!
Asher, why do you have to be so bold?
"Once we get home, I am going to rush into my bedroom and lock up myself up for the next seven months."
"I feel you, I would be more embarrassed if it were me"
"Ugh!... Asher" I exclaim in frustration.
"You should thank him though"
"Yeah, I definitely will"
"You know, he genuinely loves and cares for you" She says softly as she shoots me a brief glance before focusing her gaze on the road again.
"He truly does and I feel terrible that things always have to be like this between us. I feel like I'm just taking advantage of him and I hate it"
"No you are not. You didn't ask my brother to do any of this things for you. He loves you with all his heart, that is why he has taken it upon himself to defend you at all times and make sure that you are comfortable. That is what every man should do for the woman he claims to love"
"Even when the woman never reciprocated that love care and concern?, even when the woman keeps choosing other men over him?" I ask with watery eyes and a croaked voice.
I'm such a drama queen, I don't even know why I am crying right now.
I'm such a drama queen. I don't even know why I am crying right now.
"You didn't mean for this to happen and Asher understands that's why he still cares. I love Asher, he is my only brother and I love him very much. I want him to be happy, you make him happy but I will never lure you to say yes to him because your happiness matters to me too. Even if you love someone else, that is fine with me, all I want is your happiness even if you don't find it in my brother, it's fine. So don't ever feel the pressured. Don't ever think that I hold a grudge against you because you don't reciprocate the feelings my brother has for you. Your emotions are yours, you control them and you are responsible for them. One thing I know is that the universe has a way of making the right things happen at the right time. If you and my brother are meant to be, you will be so don't stress yourself out. Live one day at a time and rest will fall in place"
She explains and I wipe away the stubborn tear that had managed to escape from my left eye. What Alora just said makes a lot of sense. If Asher and I are meant to be, we will be.
"I want to hug you so bad right now"
"Silly you!" She says flashing me her sweet smile as she drives one.
Alora is one in a million.
