“How do I set up an email that isn’t for business?” She asked him softly, tilting her head as she set her brush down and took the phone from him. She was in a better mood, but still a little frustrated with their current situation.
He smiled lightly. "I'll show you, if you want." He replied, letting go of the phone and looking at her carefully. He was happy that she was enjoying the room, and that she had at least something to entertain her and make her happy.
“Yes please. Let’s go somewhere more comfortable… I don’t have any seats or chairs in here.” She murmured, looking down at herself. “Let me change before too. I don’t want to ruin your furniture.”
He nodded. "Alright. I'll meet you in the living room, then." He said with a small smile, heading out of the room. I'll help her set up an email, and her phone. Anything else she wants, she can get.
Arabella groaned lightly as she grabbed her brush and paints and began to clean up. She washed her brush out before setting it down and moving to the room, where she scrubbed her body of paint and changed, sighing softly as she looked herself up and down. She was skinny… nearly sickly. It was alarming. She had stressed a lot…
Asher waited for her in the living room. He pulled out his own phone, scanning through pictures and such. He lingered on a few from months ago, with Peri, but otherwise moved through them all at the same speed.
Ignoring the grim thoughts that plagued her mind, Arabella walked out into the living room, having left her hair tied up. She looked to him and smiled weakly:
Asher looked up as she came in, putting the phone away. "Alright. Ready to set your phone up?" He gave her a small smile. "I promise you that I'm not going to regulate, monitor, or otherwise mess with it. All I'm going to be doing is paying for it's service, and helping you out if you need it."
She blinked at him and smiled softly, sitting down next to him and turning her phone on. “Thank you, Asher… you are a wonderful man.” She murmured, looking up at him.
Asher shrugged. "You're welcome." He replied softly. He pulled out his laptop, and did the passcode for it. "It's easiest to set up an Email account on the computer." He explained. "Now, I'm not going to save your passcode, so make sure it's something you'll remember." He signed out of his own account, then clicked "create new", and handed her the laptop. "Name it whatever you want."
Arabella took the laptop gingerly, staring at the screen. She began to type up different things and fill in the blanks of the information section. She sighed softly when she finished, looking up at him. “Alright…”
He took the laptop back, signing her out. "Okay. Turn the phone on." He instructed. "It'll tell you to sign in. Use your email account that you just created." He said, putting the laptop away.
She nodded and did as told. Soon she had a working, set up phone that he had helped her create and put together. She sighed softly, smiling. “Thank you for that.”
He nodded. "Of course. If you want apps or games, its all in the app store right there." He pointed. "If you want to set a passcode, I can show you that." He smiled slightly, and pulled out his own phone. "I already have your number in mine…" He trailed off, sending her a simple "hello :)".
She giggled at his message and sent a simple: ”Hello!” back. She was livid. Her own phone and there would be no restrictions to it. She felt so excited.
He grinned, watching her. "If you want or need anything else, let me know." He told her, sending her "😊".
“I will!” She said happily, giggling again at his message. She couldn’t pull herself together enough to send one back, too excited as she pulled him into a hug. “Thank you Asher.”
He froze for a moment, then hugged her back. He smiled lightly. "You're welcome, Arabella." He replied. "And you're welcome to give your number to anyone. I don't care." He told her. "Obviously be careful, I wouldn't want a predator or rapist or someone getting to you, but…" He shrugged slightly.
She pulled away and nodded firmly. “I understand. I will be careful. I would never be put in that situation either… I’m never going to look for another man.”
He nodded. "Alright." He said. "Also, do you want the WiFi password?" He questioned, realizing that it might be a good idea to connect her to the WiFi. The phone had unlimited data, sure, but it would be faster on WiFi.
She beamed and nodded, offering him her phone for the WiFi. She was so used to having her dad do it so she couldn’t know that it was just common sense to her.
He took the phone, and opened up the WiFi, making sure she could see what he was doing, and put in the passcode, then handed the phone back to her. "There you go."
She watched nervously, relaxing when he handed her back her phone with no yelling. “Thank you, Asher. I appreciate it.” She mumbled, stretching out and groaned.
"You're welcome." He replied with a small smile. "If you have any questions about anything, let me know and I'll show you how." He said, yawning softly.
She nodded, looking at him as he yawned. “Take a nap, I’ll wake you up in time for the dinner.” She told him firmly. “Besides, I have more painting to do.”
