Asher thought he couldn't get to like her even more, but he was wrong. Seeing her this red and embarrassed he felt like he was falling for her again.
She was jealous of an imaginary woman that was his sister and that made him happy. She cared for him more than she wanted to admit.
He held her close to him with one hand in the back of her head and another on her lower back. Birdie was really embarrassed but being held like this calmed her down bit by bit. She felt the safest she had in a very long time.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made an assumption" she whispered in his chest. She truly was. He had done nothing but being trustworthy and she had jumped in to making conclusions before she could ask.
Asher didn't say anything. He instead started moving his hands in circles on her back. She knew that by this he meant that it was ok and she felt at ease again.
"Let's get in the bathtub yeah ?" he said. Asher was desperate to get her relaxed, as he was worried about her and all she had been through today, still. She nodded her head and raised her arms as if asking him to hold her up. He looked at her in disbelieve but obliged anyway. She was too cute to refuse.
Asher raised her to his harms and she hooked her arms around his neck and her legs in his back like a koala bear.
He got them in the big bathtub that was filled by now. Asher's bathtub was more like a jacuzzi than a bathtub, but he didnt turn on the bubbles so for the moment it was just a big bathtub with very warm water.
He lowered them both in the big thing and he sat down with her in his legs still holding him really tight.
"Are you ever gonna let me go so I can wash you and then we can relax ?" he said with a tiny bit of amusement in his tone.
Birdie got her face out of his chest and looked up at his face to see if he was serious. She was the comfiest she could be, why would he ask her to get out of there?
When she realized he was serious she pouted and crossed her arms.
"Why are you pouting missy uh ?" he asked her again with amusement. She was acting like a kid, but he didn't mind, he liked it in fact. Her behaviour gave him a feeling of protection that he loved.
"Fine" she said, "I'll get off of you but then we are cuddling yeah ?" she continued. She realised she was acting childish but she didn't mind. She liked him and she wanted to be with him after a very long and tiring day. Was that a lot to ask ?
Birdie went to the side of the tub and took a sponge to wash him. She smelled his body wash and it smelled really manly. She loved it.
Birdie poured a bit on the sponge and got near him again. She made a turning motion with her hand and Asher turned to his back so she could wash him.
She started washing him and Arsher felt like he was in heaven. Birdie was so gentle with him that he felt like he was being washed with cotton candy instead of a loofa.
As she finished they changed positions and Asher washed her with as much gentleness as he was washed, he took more time though. He wanted her to relax, so when he finished he started giving her a massage to loosen her muscles. He noticed that she was really tense, and he made a mental note to take her to a physician soon so she wouln't get any back problems.
Birdie was on cloud nine after being washed with so much care and love. She wasn't washed like this since she was a little kid.
When they finished washing Asher got out first and grabbed a towel to put around his waist. He took a bath robe and held it out for Birdie who got out next and put the bathrobe on.
It was one of the kids ones because the adult ones were too big, and Asher had planned ahead for this. It even had little bear ears, and the moment he had put it on her he lifted the hood and got her hair out .
She looked so cute that before she could realise he had ran out of the bathroom, took his phone and ran back to take a picture.
She was caught by surprise and she only realised when it was too late, and by the time she reacted to cover her face he took the picture and she could only cover half of her face.
This way she looked even more cute, and Asher didn't even bother to take another photo.
"You're so mean !" Birdie said puting. She felt like a kid and she didn't like it. Just half an hour before this she was fighting against killers and now she was in a kid's bathrobe.
Asher laughed internally to avoid making her more angry at him, and he comforted her.
"You look cute in this, and I bought it just for you. You have to wear it. I'll put this photo as my lockscreen on my phone" He said making her see that he liked it so it wasn't wrong for her to wear it.
"Fine, but you owe me so now you're going to cuddle me till I'm asleep alright ?" Birdie wouldn't waste an opportunity to get something out of him. She was an excellent bussiness woman.
This time Asher laughed out loud and hoisted her up in his arms to take her back to the room where he put her in the bed and while he went to the closet and took one of his T-shirts for her to change into.
"Go change in the bathroom, if you don't hurry I will come in myslef so do it fast" he said teasing her.
Birdie didn't want to risk it so she went running to the bathroom and changed as fast as she could. She managed to change in record time even though she nearly feell a few times.
She came out of the batroom to see Asher in already in bed and ready to go to sleep.
When Asher saw her he felt himself start to drool. She looked so good in his T-shirt.
