Knowing Asher

Chapter|46|

"Good morning dad" I mumbled into his shoulder surprised to see him this morning. "Aren't you suppose to be at work?" I asked. This is the one of few times I get to see him when I wake up.

"My boss gave me a week off" he replied and continue flipping pancakes.

"That's great"I grinned. I get to spend this week with him.

He slid a plate of pancakes to me. "Thank you dad. Where is mom?" I asked after I took the first bite.

I loved the taste of his foods. He cooks way better than mom and I will never admit that out loud.

"Work"he replied and sat across me.

"So you have a boyfriend now"he asked or more like stated. I nodded unsure of where this was going. "I want to meet him this week" he said and my eyes widened.

"Is it really_"

"6pm sharp on Saturday"he stated and left no room for argument.

The last thing I want is my dad scaring him off. "Is it really necessary?" I sighed.

"I want to know if this 'Asher' guy is good enough for you"his protective side is out now and I nodded.

"Okay" I replied and stood up to wash my plate.

My phone vibrated in my jeans pocket and I took it out.

I am outside-A.

My heart fluttered and I sighed. This is one of the few times he comes to pick me up and I really like it very much.

I grabbed my backpack and hugged my dad. "Love you dad. My ride is outside waiting" I mumbled into his shoulder before pulling away.

"Is it the guy?"he asked and I nodded.

"You are not meeting him now. 6pm on Saturday remember" I said mimicking his tone and he rolled his eyes at me.

"Have a nice day at school my little munchkin" he ruffled my hair and kissed my forehead.

"Bye dad" I waved and walked out.

I am thankful he didn't come out of his car to receive me like he always does.
I opened the door and settled on the comfy car seat. "Hi" I smiled.

"Hey. Did you sleep well?"he asking with a small smile.

He started the car as I buckled up my seatbelt. "Yup. You?"

"I did"

"Great"

"Did you have breakfast?"

"Yeah"

"I am going to stop by here because I wasn't able to grab something at home" he said pulling in front of the cafe in my neighborhood.

"You coming with?"he asked and I nodded getting out of the car.

"Might grab a hot chocolate drink" I said as we entered the cafe.

Everyone was staring at us like we were aliens or something out of the world. Maybe at Asher because he looked totally out of place here. We got in line and waited for our turn. I have gotten used to us going to the front without being questioned. That is definitely not going to work here.

"Good morning to you. What can I get you?"the barista said with a smile.

I recognized the voice and he seems he does to. His eyes widened and he grinned widely. "You never called?"he said and I wasn't expecting him to remember.

"Dude,that was last year. How can you still remember my face?" I said giggling at the last part. I felt eyes on me and I turned to Asher. His eyes went from the barista to me and he raised an eyebrow.
