14 - The Kiss.
The cab ride was very talkative. I explained everything, they told Asher and I how their life was going in Australia.
We make it to the London eye and I reluctantly text Jim. For some reason or other, Asher and I get on separately than Ada and Brendon, but I wasn't complaining.
Asher helps me on and sits across from me. It stars moving.
"So, 'Richard Brook' is my dad,"
I say.
"Answer me honestly, are you ok. You're more fragile than you think you are sometimes," Asher asks.
"Asher, don't worry about me. I'll be ok-"
"Yea, but are you ok now?"
I smile. "I'm not 100%, but I'm not 0% either. I'm ok."
He smiles even bigger than me."I'm glad. Come on." He pats the space next to him."
I quickly move next to him. "What's gotten into you," I ask.
He grabs my hand, making me pay more attension to him. "You know I would never intentionally hurt you, right?"
"Yea, Asher, are you ok?"
"Oh Charlie, I'm perfect."
He grabs my chin and his lips meet mine a second later. My first kiss. Oh my gosh... My. First. Kiss.
In confused on what to do. Asher helps me by pulling me into his lap. I put my hands in his hair. The kiss ends, even though it felt like eternity.
"No one to ruin it this time," Asher says happily.
"It was perfect," I answer.
I continue to sit on his lap, laying my head on his shoulder. He is stroking my hair. We sit in a comfortable silence till the ride ends.
