The apartment you two shared was silent, except for the sound of the running water coming from the kitchen as you were washing the dishes. Washing the dishes and doing the chores around your shared apartment wasn't exactly how you planned your weekend, yet somehow, Asher, once again, managed to convince you to do his part of the chores. That idiot-

"Hey bro!" A force latches itself onto your back, causing you to jolt out of your thoughts. Two strong arms were wrapped around your waist, trapping you in his embrace, as Asher rested his chin on your left shoulder, a cheeky smile plastered on his pale features.

Was he a jerk to scare you off like that when you were so lost in your thoughts? Probably, but in his defense, your surprised expression was too amusing for him to stop with his shenanigans. Plus, it wasn't anything new; his behavior remained the same since you two became roommates, in an attempt to shrink down some of the college expenses.

His smug grin didn't cease when you glanced at him; annoyance was written all over your features before you looked away. He knew that you didn't like being taken by surprise, but did he care? Not even in the slightest.

"I know that you don't like it when I come to you like this, but can you really blame me? You should've seen your face!"

Asher words were meant to ease the tension between you two; his lips brushed against the back of your skin in an attempt to ease the tension in your body. Was he really that oblivious? To not see the effect of his lips on your neck, his hot breath trickling your earlobe, and his arms wrapped around your waist so- intimately?
