Asher POV
-
I can't help but to stare at her as I pull her down on top of me as I lay back in her bed. She makes me happy, something I haven't been in awhile.

I want to spend all day with her just laying in this bed, with our clothes on even. Coming from me that's something I didn't think I would say about a girl for a long time. I may sound like a dick but I've seen how relationships go and they aren't pretty. I vowed to myself I'd never have a relationship until I knew it would be a good one.

And Baylor is by far the best thing I've had so far.

I'm not going to go as far as to call her my girlfriend, but she's definitely my best girl-friend.

There's some part of me that wants more, wants to have it all and lay it all out on the line with her. Then there's another part, the scared part, that is too afraid of having someone that close who is so able to break my heart again at any given moment, and that scares the hell out of me.

But what scares me more is the fact that I think she already can...

"What are you thinking about."
She asks me as she smiles down at me and I lazily smile back.

"Nothing, lets go back out there before your brother comes looking for us."
I say and her eyes flicker to my lips and she leans forward the slightest before second guessing and getting up and heading for the door.

I grab her wrist right before she grabs the door handle and I pull her back against my chest.

Her breath hitches and she looks up at me through her lashes. Damn she's so hot.

"You can kiss me anytime you want to. Don't hold back."
I tell her with a smirk expecting her to become embarrassed.

So I'm shocked when she looks me over seductively before wrapping one hand in my hair and then she drags her tongue across my neck before sucking the spot and then she flicks her hair and walks away leaving me standing here horny as ever.

Who the hell was that and what did they do to my shy little sour patch kid.

I can't keep the smile off my face as I walk out of the bedroom a moment later.

"Damn bay what'd you do to him to put him in such a good mood."
Ty whispers and bay blushes. Ahh, there's my shy girl.

"Baylor I will forever be offended if you do not fucking drink this right now!"
Ty says as he holds out a cup of eggnog. Baylor's eyes shoot to mine as she refuses the cup again. I respect her for not drinking after what happened, but nobody here is driving and I honestly wouldn't mind a drink myself.

"I'll try it."
I say and everyone's eyes shoot towards me in question. Damn.

"What?"
I ask and they all look away before ty hands me the cup still staring at me confused.

"I don't think I've ever seen you drink. I feel honored."
Ty says and I just shake my head at him.

"I drink. Just not often."
I say and he nods.

"I think earlier is the first time I've ever seen you smile as well."
He states and I can't help but laugh and he looks at me like I'm crazy.

"Oh my god he's laughing."
Ty says to Leah and bay and I just smile. It feels good to laugh.

"She can take credit for that."
I say talking about what happened earlier but by the look on Leah and Ty's face they obviously read deeper into it. Hell maybe I meant it that way too.

"Treat my girl right and you can have all the eggnog you want. But be careful mama didn't raise no bitch that'll put you on your ass. It sneaks up on you, like what I'll do if you hurt my girl."
Ty says before walking away into the living room and Leah follows but not before giving bay a look.

"That's my friends for you."
She smiles as she looks up at me.

"Ty is something else."
She laughs and nods her head.

"Yea. He'll grow on you."

"Like you have."
I say as I take a step closer to her.

"I've grown on you huh? Wow is big bad Asher hill not so bad anymore?"
She teases and I pick her up and sit her on the counter behind her.

"Careful now."
I say and she leans down towards me so that her lips are only centimeters from mine.

"Or what?"
She asks as she bites her lip.

"Presents time!"
I hear someone shout from the living room but I stay where I'm at.

"Or I'll just have to use that bet you still owe me."
I smile and she raises an eyebrow.

"And what would that be."
She asks breathlessly as she stares down at my lips.

"I have some things in mind."
I say as I look down at hers.

"Hey. Lovebirds. Let's go."
Leah says from the kitchen door.

Bay slides down off the counter sliding down me in the process and I bite my lip as she walks away. She looks back at me over her shoulder with a smirk, damn she did that on purpose.

I like the confidence my girl is gaining, its sexy.

"Okay so I might have went over the fifty dollar limit we set but I don't care I'm Santa this year and I brought a shit ton of gifts for my BFF's."
Ty says as he hands Leah and bay a pile of gifts.

"Jeesh ty this is why we set limits!"
Leah laughs and ty shrugs.

"Shut up bitch and be grateful!"
Ty jokes back and bay just looks at me and shakes her head. I smile at her as she opens his gifts.

"Oh my gosh."
Cam says beside me and I jump. When the hell did he get there.

"Damn dude don't sneak up on me like that."

"Well if your weren't lost in La la land ogling my sister you wold have noticed me walk up to you to talk."
I can feel my face heat up as I lower my gaze to the floor and bite back my smile.

"What the actual hell is happening to you. Did you for real just blush and smile at the ground like a girl? Where the hell is my best friend."
Cam asks incredulously and I just laugh and shake my head as I look at him.

"I didn't blush and am I not allowed to smile?"

"You really like her don't you? You don't even have to answer my question I can see it all over your face. Damn. Ash, bro. My sister? Really? Out of all the hot ass girls you've got you're going to chose my sister to fall for?"
Cam asks still shocked as he narrows his eyes at me.

"I'm not falling for anyone. Bay and I have just gotten close, she makes me happy."
I stated and his eyes widen.

"Oh my gosh. You're actually into my sister. Like not just for sex. Wow. I've been a dick about this whole thing too but I can actually see you care for her. Don't try to deny it either you've been caught bad boy. She's turning you soft. You're going soft on me."
He stares and I turn towards him and put him in a headlock.

"I'll show you soft."
I laugh and he laughs too and he gets out of the headlock and tackles me to the ground and we continue to wrestle with each other.

For the first time in a long time I am completely happy.
