Chapter 5 Collision

• ~ Asher’s POV ~
• Damn. She’s like something off a movie screen.
• Asher didn’t mean to stay in the club for too long. He just wanted a quick drink before continuing on his journey. But just as he was about to leave, he saw this girl walking into the club.
• As soon as he laid eyes on her, Asher felt a magnetic pull. It was like he couldn’t look away. This girl was maybe 5’ 4, she had jet black hair and the most mesmerizing eyes he’d ever seen. It was this bluish, purplish color. She came in through the doors in her high leather boots and short skirt. Her slender legs were the first things he noticed, but her eyes were the nail in the coffin.
• Asher cocked his head to the side as he watched her. Most New York City people actually bored him. He felt like they were trying too hard to stand out from the crowd. But this girl, she was effortlessly beautiful. And best of all, she was ignoring him all night. Even after she saw him, she just turned around and pretended like she didn’t see him.
• Asher took it as a challenge. Letting out a smirk, he put his drink down on the bar and strode over. The girl was talking to her friends and she had her back turned to him. Asher stood at an arm’s length away and waited. Her friend noticed him first, and finally, she turned around.
• Asher almost forgot what he was doing. Being in such close proximity to her, she was even more beautiful than he’d imagined.
• “Hey,” he said finally, locking his eyes with hers. He felt a jolt in his chest, sending vibrations all around his body.
• “Hey,” she replied, looking up at him expectantly.
• Asher noted the curves of her face, her sharp little nose, the plump juicy lips, and the blushing cheeks. Her skin looked so soft, he wondered what it’ll feel like to kiss them.
• “Do I know you from somewhere?” he asked, cocking his head to the side. Something about her felt so mysterious yet familiar.
• “No,” she shook her head.
• Asher narrowed his eyes at her. The girl swallowed hard as she held his eyes. She looked like she was scared of him. Asher let out a smile.
• “Hm. My bad,” he said, stifling out a laugh before walking past her.
• Nah. She’s way too inexperienced, he thought.
• Asher saw the fear in her eyes and decided this wasn’t gonna be worth it. He had better things to do anyway. He walked straight past her and back to the bar, finishing up the rest of his drink. Once he was done, he pulled out a twenty dollar bill and put it on the table.
• “Are you not gonna get me a drink?”
• But just before he was about to leave, he heard a voice. He looked up to see the girl with blue and purple eyes standing in front of him.
• Ah. Looks like she wants to play after all.
• “You already got one,” Asher said, motioning to the glass of martini in her hand. “Besides, I don’t wanna get in trouble,”
• “What trouble?” she asked.
• Asher paused for a beat, letting out a knowing smirk. The girl just stared at him quizzically.
• Finally, Asher took a step forward and closed the distance between them. The girl suddenly looked uncomfortable and stepped back. Asher put his hands out and trapped her in between his body and the bar. She had nowhere to go.
• “What’s a girl like you doing in a place like this?” he asked, staring deeply into her eyes.
• “W-what?” she stammered.
• Asher leaned closer to her ear and whispered, “I saw the student ID in your wallet. You’re still a high school student,”
• The girl let out a shocked gasp and pulled away instantly.
• “Wrong. I just graduated!” she argued. “B-besides, who do you think you are? Peeping into a girl’s wallet?”
• Hm. Feisty.
• Asher let out a laugh and put his hands up.
• “Hey, I’m not here to bust your balls,” he chuckled. “You’re a big girl. You can do whatever you want,”
• Asher grinned mischievously and the girl was staring at him in total disbelief. A part of her looked like she wants to fight him, and the other part felt like running away. Asher could see through all of that. Her eyes gave everything away.
• “This place isn’t really your scene, isn’t it?” he said finally, taking another step closer. “You wanna get out of here?”
• Asher gave out his hand like it was a challenge. The girl looked at it and then looked back at him, swallowing hard.
• “N-no, I’m good,” she said finally. Though she didn’t sound too sure about that.
• Asher let out a disappointed smile. It was worth a shot, he thought.
• “Alright then,” he said as he grabbed the drink in her hand. He chugged it in one swift move before putting the empty glass back in her hand. “See you around,”
• The girl’s mouth fell to the ground. She was totally caught off guard. Asher let out a chuckle as he walked past, grinning victoriously.
• “H-hey! That was my drink!”
• He heard her yell, but he just kept walking away. Once he got far enough, he turned back to look at her. She was angrily glaring at him and that made his smile grow wider. He winked at her playfully before turning a corner.
• Oh. This will be a fun night.
