Always and Forever

Chapter 3: A kiss under the stars

Third person
Layl,a: Oh, h-hey Asher.
Asher: H-Hey Laylia. It was my fault, I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking.
Layla: No, I was the one who bumped into you.

Asher smiled and brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear.

Asher: How about we agree that both of us weren't paying attention?
Layla: Yeah...okay.

They stayed in that position for a few seconds but then came back to reality. Asher let go of Layla and she stepped back.

Layla: You look so...
Asher: Different? I don't normally wear suits so yeah.
Layla: I was actually going to say handsome, like how you look all the time.

When Layla realised what she just said, her face turned red.

Layla: I mean, you look great in a suit! You look just like a fairytale prince.

Layla put her hand over her mouth and looked down.

Layla: Did I really just say that?!

Asher smiled and blushed.

Asher: Thanks. I'd compliment you too but I can't really see your outfit. Either way, I don't need to see your dress to say that you look as beautiful as you do everyday.

Asher then entered Jasmine's room, leaving Layla blushing even more.

Layla: I think I'm going to die!!!

She went back to her room.

Jasmine's POV
I heard Asher enter my room just as I finished with my hair. I turned to him and saw him blushing.

Jasmine: What happened that has you blushing like that?
Asher: Layla called me handsome, and she said I look like a fairytale prince.
Jasmine: Are you sure that was Lia?

Asher nodded and I smiled.

Asher: She thinks I look handsome all the time.

I felt like I was going to explode! She actually said that!!?? Ahhhh!!!!

Asher: Anyway, I came to ask for my tie?

I left it on my vanity so I gave it to him. He thanked me and then left. If these two aren't dating by tomorrow I'm going to cry!

I heard my phone vibrate. I picked it up and read that Layla was asking me to go to her room. I went there and when I walked in, I saw her wearing her dress and the heels. She looks so pretty!!!

Jasmine: Lia, what universe did you come from where you're wearing a dress like this?! You are so beautiful!!
Layla: I did gain a bit of confidence while I was gone.
Jasmine: A bit?! You told my brother that he's attractive. You gained a lot of confidence! What did he say to you?
Layla: He said he doesn't need to see my dress to say that I'm as beautiful as I do everyday.

OHMYGOSHIMGOINGTODIE!!!!!

Jasmine: Can you guys just get married already?
Layla: Who knows, maybe I'll ask him out tomorrow.
Jasmine: Are you joking?

She shook her head and smiled. If it was possible to explode from fangirling I would've exploded like a firework by now.

Jasmine: I expect to be the maid of honour.
Layla: If there's a wedding, you will me.
Jasmine: Not "if", when there's a wedding.
Layla: Okay.

I looked down at the heels Layla was wearing and they really suit her.

Jasmine: The heels look great on you. You can keep them if you'd like?
Layla: No thank you! I'm just going to borrow them for tonight and then I'll give them back.
Jasmine: If you insist. Do you know how to walk in heels?
Layla: Yes, otherwise I wouldn't put them on.
Jasmine: Show me then.
