"but I don't want to be a burden either…"
"but I don't want to be a burden either…"
"Asher. You're not a burden, my parents would be completely fine with it and I don't mind either," Fleur said, glancing over at him as she drove.
He seemed conflicted with himself
"Just think about it.." She said softly, turning up the radio and singing along to the songs as she drove.
He nods smiling a little. He liked listening to her sing
Fleur drove a little faster as they neared the school again "Do you have a car?" She asked Asher, pulling into the parking lot but keeping the car running.
"Nope…I walk…"
"Did you decide yet? I can drive you off at your house if you don't want to stay with my family." She drove out of the parking lot and waited for his decision.
"I guess I could spend the night…"
Fleur smiled and nodded "sounds good, trust me you'll like it." She started driving and quickly parked In front of a small gray house with wood trim and a white door. "Welcome to the most amazing home around." She shut off the car and got out, swinging her keys around on her finger and smiling happily.
He followed quietly
"Are you ready?" She asked, slowing down so she was walking next to him as they reached the door. "Let me do the talking and it'll go fine, just nod your head or give them a short answer if they ask you anything right now ok?"
He nods. "got it…"
She gave him a light smile before opening the door, "Mom! Dad! I'm home!" She shouted, walking in and taking off her shoes at the door. She grabbed Asher's hand and walked into a small but neat living room, her mom sitting on the couch with a book.
"Hi honey," Her mom said, not looking up.
"Mom, this is Asher, I was wondering if he could stay here tonight, his dad and him are…not on good terms." Fleur said, causing her mom to look up and give Asher a small smile.
He smiles waving slightly at her.
Her mom nodded and closed her book, standing up and walking over to the two of them. "I'm Lilly, nice to meet you." she smiled before looking at Fleur and glancing at the kitchen "Your father is making dinner, I think it's pizza again."
Fleur chucked "Ok, I can show Asher to the guest room as soon as you say if he can stay."
Asher felt uneasy not knowing what to do
Lilly nodded "He can stay, just talk to your dad first," She walked back over to her book and sat down to start reading again.
Fleur smiled and grabbed Asher's hand "Ok, quick stop by my dad and then I'll show you where you can stay." She pulled him to the kitchen where her dad was just putting pizzas in the oven. He nodded in greeting as Fleur started talking again "Dad, this is Asher. He's going to be staying in the guest room tonight, he needs to get away from his dad for now..they aren't the best of friends." Before her dad could respond, she pulled him out if the kitchen and down a short hallway with four doors. "This is the bathroom," She said, opening the door closest to the kitchen, "That's my parents room," She pointed at the door at the very end of the hall and opened the next door "This is my room, sorry it's a mess," She smiled and quickly opened the door right across from it, revealing a nice bedroom. "And this is now your room."
"T-Thanks I guess…" He said blushing from the contact.
She glanced at his hand and quickly let go, couching nonchalantly "Um..sorry about that," she said,shoving her hands in her pockets.
"N-No i-it's fine" he laughs
"Are you sure?" She took her hands out of her pockets and smiled at him.
"Y-Yeah" He smiled back.
She tentatively reached her hand out and took his, smiling as she did, "Cool."
He slowly walked up to her hugging her tightly still holding her hand. "thank you."
