(👩‍❤️‍👨 He Is My Brother Best Friend ❣️)

(🔸 But I'm Not A Kid Anymore 🔸)

🌹 Rachel POV 🌹

"What!" I exclaimed in amazement. My brother really has to be kidding right now.

"There's no option left," Michael, my brother, said.

"There's an option left. You can leave me at home," I protested. Why did he have a problem with leaving me alone at home? I'm not a kid anymore. I'm eighteen, an adult.

"Rach, I'll be gone for a few days for some work, and Ill be worrying about you if I leave you alone at home all by yourself," Michael was using my nickname now. Michael always calls me Rach whenever he has to explain me something.

"I can leave you alone at home for one day, not more than that. And to finish my work, it will take me days or maybe weeks, I'm not sure."

He then put his hands on my shoulder and said, "Rach, I need someone to be there with you, to take care of you-"

"But I'm not a kid anymore," I said, interrupting him.

Michael continued, "I know you're not a kid anymore but it is for my satisfaction that I I'll be leaving you with Ashton. I need you to be safe and leaving you with Ashton can only make me feel that you are safe and away from danger."

"Safe and away from danger? What are you talking about, Michael? No one's going to kidnap me from my own house," I said and laughed. I mean, who could really kidnap me? I'm not a celebrity nor am I the daughter of a rich man. So no one will be interested in kidnapping me.

"Rachael, I'm leaving you with Ashton and we are not going to talk about it any further," he told me.

"Tomorrow I'll be leaving for my work and Ill be dropping you at Ashton's place so you better pack your clothes for the stay," with saying this, he went to his room.

From tomorrow onwards, I'll be living with Ashton.

But there's one thing that Michael doesn't know. And that thing is that I have a childhood crush on Ashton. And now, Michael is telling me that Ill have to live with him.

How will I be able to live with him when I can't even look at him without blushing? He's so handsome. And sexy. With his black hair and green eyes, any girl can fall for him.

Anyway, sometimes I think that my brother is blind. Not literally. There have been many occasions when we all, Michael, Ashton and I, were together. And whenever I used to talk to Ashton, I used to always blush. I know it.

Then how come Michael and Ashton didn't notice me blushing? Both are blind! Both are clueless about my feelings. But I don't want them to know about my feelings. It will be so weird for Michael if he comes to know that I
have a crush on his best friend!

I wish that my parents were alive. Then I wouldn't have to go and live with Ashton. My parents died ina car accident when I was ten and Michael was thirteen.

Whenever I tried asking Michael further about our parents' death, he used to always avoid answering my question. I could tell from his face that he knew a lot about the death of our parents but he choOses not to tell me.

After a few years, I completely stopped asking him about our parents.

After the death of our parents, we used to live with Michael's godparents. When Michael was eighteen, he got a job. And till this day, I don't know what job he does and what work does it involve.

Once, I tried asking himn about his job but he didn't reveal the nature of his job or his work.

Sometimes I wonder what kind of job he does. Because for doing that job, he gets an excellent pay. And because of that pay, we were able to move out from Michael's godparents' house and move into our new house.

We've been living in this house for three years. And now, Michael is going out of town for some "work' and I'll be living with his best friend.

How will I manage to live with Ashton?

He's cute.

He's hot.

He's sexy.

With these thoughts in my head, I went to my room and started packing my clothes and things in my suitcase while listening to David Archuleta's Crush.

"Do you ever think when you're all alone

All that we can be, where this thing can go?

Am I crazy or falling in love?

Is it really just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?

Are you holding back like the way I do?

Cause Ive tried and tried to walk away

But I know this crush ain't going away-ay-y-ay

Going aWay-ay-y-ay.."

This song is totally made for me! This song perfectly describes what I'm feeling right now.

I had finished my packing around 9pm.

Michael and I already had our dinner.

And only after the dinner, he told me that tomorrow Ill be living with Ashton.

So, here I am, lying on my bed, thinking about tomorrow.
Will I be able to survive living with my childhood crush, Ashton, under the same roof? I'll totally have to work on controlling my blush meter since I'll have to see him everyday. I sighed.

Lord, please help me to live with Ashton! I really need your help!
