columns. Basically, his roof was made of glass that let light stream in, making everything sparkle.
“Wow…” I murmured. “What do you guys do when it hales?”
Asher was watching me with interest. “Nice, huh?”
“It’s lovely,” I answered truthfully. I’d never expected Asher Grayson’s house to be so…opulent.
That’s because you judged him based on what you heard.
True. I hadn’t even been sure if he’d lived in a house. I’d been under the impression he resided in a lair.
Guilt swarmed me, and I made a mini- vow to try to be nicer to Asher. He was right. I didn’t know him well enough to call him names. I didn’t think I ever would, but that was besides the point. For now, we were stuck together, and until our project ended and we went our separate ways, I’d have to tone it down.
“We’re never going to finish if you keep this up,” Asher broke me from my thoughts. He fit in perfectly with the grandiose house. He was wearing a simple white shirt and dark-washed jeans, but he was gorgeous, just like everything else in here.
“Lead the way, then,” I gestured.
He beckoned me after him as he walked down the hall. I followed a few steps behind him, admiring the artwork hanging on the walls.
And I was kind of checking him out, but only a little.
Dana would be ecstatic to know she was rubbing off on me. Asher sauntered down yet another hallway, and I was completely lost. How did he find his way around this maze?
He opened a door on the right and walked in, not glancing to see if I was following. The loud noise my sneakers were making on the floor was enough.
The room was a small theater. He had a freaking cinema in his mansion! It was circular, so the seats curved around a huge screen on the wall. There were twenty seats or so, but Asher sat in the highest row. Picking my way up, I left a seat between us and sat down. He slid me an amused glance, but didn’t comment, thankfully.
“What do you want to watch?” Asher asked. “Pick any dance movie. Even if it’s in cinema,” he added.
Lifting a remote from a compartment under his seat, he stretched his legs on the back of the seat in front of him.
“Save the Last Dance,” I decided. I’d seen the first half of the movie, but Jodi had gone and spilled apple juice on the electric outlet and fried our cable.
“Why that movie?” Asher asked, turning his head to peer at me.
I shrugged, stretching so the bones in my shoulders popped. “Why not?”
“Right,” he said in response to my vague answer.
He clicked a button on the remote, and the room filled with light. Asher found the movie on whatever network he used, and the quality was unbelievable. I wished Dana was here to see this.
Julia Stiles played the role of an angry teenager perfectly. I found myself rooting for her and on the edge of my seat during the dancing. She fought to overcome her past that wouldn’t leave her.
That was certainly something I could relate to.
Asher stayed quiet the whole time. I peeked at him a few times, but he seemed as wrapped up in the movie as I was. It was only the last time I glanced at him that I found him watching me. I kept my eyes on the screen after that.
The credits rolled, and it took me a few minutes to yank my brain from the movie. Asher stretched, revealing a slice of hard
