“He’s right, you know? I don't have to tell you everything '' I say with my eyebrows raised. “I thought we had a moment- you know what, I'm not gonna even! It's not like I didn't expect it!” he says, making my eyes widen for a second and I go back to my blank look. I would be lying if I said that sentence didn't hurt but I let it go cause he is just saying these things out of anger.

SCARLETT

Me, Ryder and Ethan take one look at each other and burst out laughing. Everyone is beyond confused now. “you- you should've seen your face” Ryder tells clutching on to his stomach and laughing, literal tears are forming in my eyes. Gosh, we got him good.

Asher looks at us in disbelief while we just continue laughing.

________

After a tiring day I finally lie on my bed. Ahh this is what I want. I am too lazy to go to the restaurant so I decided to call room service.

After the food came , I pulled the duvet over me and cuddled myself into the bedsheet. I place my plate of fries on my stomach and I start binging Lucifer. After a few while the bell rings. Hmm

I pull the duvet from myself and I keep the plate on the nightstand and I walk up to the room door , before I open the door I see the time. 12:45 am.

Who would come to my room during this time? I open my door , not entirely. And I see Asher so I immediately open the door wide open. His eyes are looking at my chest , I glance down to see that I am only wearing my shorts and bra.

I quickly close the door and run to take my tee and I put it over. And I ran back to the door. “Asher hi what are you doing at this time?” I ask, confusion laced in my voice. “Can I come in?” he asked. He is being weird Eh sure” I spoke and let him inside. “So do you like him?” he asks with a stern look on his face.

“Like who?” i ask still not getting why he was in my hotel room in the middle of the night. “I don't know, the ethan guy?” he asked, sarcasm laced in his words. “No and it's none of your business” I reply, getting annoyed with him. He can't tell me who to like and who to date.

“None of my business?” he scoffs and comes closer to me, my eyes widen at the closeness and I instantly take a step back. “What are you doing Asher?” I ask in barely whisper
“ showing you who’s better” he replies with a smirk and before I could comprehend what's happening, he grabs me by my neck and pulls me in for a kiss. My hands go around his neck and I pull him inside still while kissing him and he pins me against the door. My hands tangle in his hair while his hands go to my hips. He carries me and now my legs are around his torso and his hand on my ass. He walks up to the bed without breaking the kiss.

He puts me down on the bed and hovers over me.We are breathing heavily and staring into each other's eyes. And he finally breaks eye contact and pulls my lower lip back into the kiss. He starts kissing my neck and  he pulls my tee asking for permission. I just nod and he removes my tee and throws it on the floor , leaving me with just my bra. He looks at my body with so much desire , making my heart beat a skip and he removes his tee too. damn his abs.

He starts kissing me in the cleavage between my chest. “ Asher….” I whisper. He doesn't stop , instead he kisses me harder.I can't with the butterflies in my stomach.

And suddenly his phone rings but he still doesn't stop kissing me. “Asherr….. Your phone is ringing” I manage to tell him. But he doesn't respond. “It might be important,” I say, placing my hands on his shoulder.

He finally stops and groans and takes his phone out of his pocket.  He picks up the phone angrily “ what olivia!?” he spats. It's her again? I try my best to hide my sadness. My eyes widened at his words. He stares at me while listening to her. “I will talk to you later” He says and ends the call.

He leans down to kiss me but i stop him “we shouldnt do this” I say to him without looking at his eyes. He scoffs at my words “ and why is that Scarlett?” he asks with his eyebrows raised. “ i don't know and you need to leave” . he nods his head “is that what you want?” he asks and I simply nod.

He gets down and takes his tee from the floor and wears it, he leaves my room without turning back. He slams the door , making me flinch.

It's the next day and I wake up to my phone ringing. “ Scarlett! Get your ass out of bed! It's 10.30 am and breakfast is gonna end soon so get your ass down here right now” Noah yells through the other side of the phone. “Good morning to you too” I reply in a still half-sleepy tone. I still can't believe I made out with Asher last night. Today's mission is to ignore Asher all day. I'm sure I will be able to do it.

I get my phone and lock my hotel room and go down to the buffet area. Everyone is already there eating including Asher and Olivia. I gave all of them a smile successfully ignoring Asher, I went to the buffet area, got my breakfast. A ham and cheese omelet, brioche french toast and a breakfast burrito and some fruits. I know it's weird but it is yum and that's what is important. I sat next to Charlotte and me and her started talking about random stuff. Out of the corner of my eye I see Ryder feeding Noah a few strawberries and honestly, that is the cutest thing I've ever seen. I let out an awww. involuntarily and everyone looked at where I was looking.

With all the attention Noah's face turns red making us all laugh out loud. “What are y'all looking at!” Ryder spat angrily  but we end up laughing. Ryder rolls his eyes.
I unintentionally look at Asher , who is already staring at me. Without breaking eye contact, Asher taps Olivia on the shoulder and becomes extremely touchy with her.

She does not seem to know what's going on and she also unintentionally flirts back. Her laughter is making my ears bleed, this makes my blood boil and I look away.

I suddenly get a call , I take my phone out of my pocket and the caller’s id is BRANDON.

I pick up the call “yes brandon” and Asher snaps his head towards me. I smirk inwardly “hmm do you wanna meet up?” he asks. Meet up?. “ yeah sure but why?” I ask in confusion.
“To hang out maybe?” he asks with a hopeful tone which I couldn't say no to. “ yes brenden i would love to” I reply. “Can we meet up in the cafe , which is nearby  at 4?” he asks and I reply with a yes and cut the phone.

I can feel his eyes on me.

It's 4 and I walk to the cafe near our hotel called “Emma's cafe”. I walk inside and I find Brandon in the right corner. I walk up to him and he gives me a smile. “Heyy” He says and I return his smile.

“What would you like to have?” He asks me “umm how about cheese cake?” I ask him with a smile. He chuckles at me and goes to order.

It's been an hour and now we are walking back. I genuinely  had a fun time , I hope he did too. We finally reach my room and I turn towards him.

“I had a great time Brandon,” I told him with a smile. “So did I” he replies with a grin scratching the back of his neck with his hand. “Okay Brandon see you later” I tell him looking at my watch and heading towards the door. “Scarlett, wait” he says, rushing towards me and grabbing my wrist. “Hmm yea?” I ask with a confused gaze.

“Would you like to go out with me?” he asks and I can tell by the look on his face, he's nervous. “Brandon…..” I trail off not knowing what to say. “Its okay if u dont like me” he says in one breath and I sigh. “It's not Brandon , there is a person I really like.” I told him really wishing I didn't like him anymore but sadly I still do and it would be wrong if I led Brandon on.

“Ohhh” he says with a defeated look but smiles nonetheless. “I really want us to be friends Brandon” I say with a hopeful tone hoping that this did not ruin our friendship.
“Yes that can be done!” he exclaims, making me sigh  in relief. “I am sorry Brandon” I apologize profusely for feeling bad for him.
“No it's totally fine ,  whoever it is he is damn lucky. Goodnight scar” he says with a smile and walks out of the door.
“Goodnight Brandon” I tell him before he leaves and throughout the whole day. There was only one person on my mind, Asher.

Before I could get inside my room someone grabbed my hand harshly and turned me and pinned me to the wall.
