Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0194

I was torn, I had time alone with Asher... something I had been craving since the moment Morgan had arrived, despite the fact she had been here less than a day... and then I had work. I knew in truth, I should be in work. That was where I was expected to be, and now I knew that Morgan was going to be okay, I should head into work. It would be so unprofessional of me not to.

Morgan was safe with Marc, and there was no denying she was happy. Her face had more than shown that as she had left. But Asher was here with me. We were alone. Finally. He was almost begging me to spend time with him. I am not sure if I had almost admitted to him, that I was falling for him too... But, I am so torn...

He held his hand out to me, his big green eyes focused on mine, that affectionate look making butterflies appear in my belly all over again. How did he do that?! "Come on then, beautiful, if you are going to work, at least let me walk you." He smiled.

I sighed. He had obviously realized I wasn't sure what to do, and had chosen not to pressure me. I don't think I could have found a more patient and understanding guy if I tried. In all honesty, I would love nothing more than to spend the day with Asher. I really would. But, I knew that was not the decent thing to do, not when I was needed in school.

She had wanted her day with him too. I think it was safe to say she was becoming as attached to Zion as I was Asher...
