The weekend

Asher woke up to his mother's call the following morning, and the following morning after that.

Beau was very busy with his duties so they saw each other not so often. Asher ended up hanging out with Jay and Cara more and unintentionally turned down all of Sean's advances for them to spend time with each other.

Each day, Asher got up to think about the weekend and what it held for him. This particular morning, which promised a morning of bliss, Asher woke up to discover that the day had come.

His mother's call came again. A bit sleepy, he placed the phone to his ear and yawned.

"You know that this is becoming a habit, right?"

"Tell me you don't like it," her voice came from the other side, merry and warm. Asher could tell that she was smiling. "Is there anything wrong with me checking up on my son?"
