The TV fills the room whilst I flick through a magazine. It seems nothing holds my interest any more,everything looks and sounds the same. The room holds a slight chill sending the hairs on my arms to stand up,I can hear the soft voice of Kyla singing in the shower. Usually her singing would annoy the heck out of me but today Im not bothered,it seemed everything just passed straight over my head. Sharing a small flat with my half sister isnt exactly living my dream but when dad passed away I decided to try and save a fair amount of money. Sighing I tossed the magazine on the coffee table and stood up,my legs ached from sitting uncomfortably. The flat looked a tip but there was no way I was going to even attempt to clean up. Glen's shirts lay scattered on the back of the furniture,it was about time Kyla and Glen got their own place. Either that of they both should clean up the mess they have created. Don't me get wrong I am the messiest person anyone will ever meet,the only time I make the effort is when Spencer comes round.
Spencer Carlin. The girl that stole my heart and made all my dreams come true. Apart from sounding totally cheesy its quite true. I never imagined myself with one girl,it was always love them and leave them but with Spencer its different. Never before have I met anybody so amazing and beautiful,Spencer is everything I want. Of course things between us have gotten tough lately,with her at a new college and me working all the time,its hard to fit any us time around everything. Not to mention that I hate the fact she is surrounded by pretty girls,not that I think Spencer would cheat. If I had it my way Spencer would be living here with me,but since Kayla has Glen here every night there Is just no more space. Anyway I think Spencer is a little nervous about the whole moving in thing,yeah I know its a big deal but I want her with me all the time.
I walk into the kitchen and switch the coffee machine on,a caffeine fix was definitely what I needed. Whilst the machine got on with its business I pulled my phone from my pocket,sliding it up I felt a wave of disappointment wash over me. No missed calls or texts which meant Spencer was busy. Without thinking I scrolled down my phone book and reached her name. My heart telling me to just call her,even to hear her voice for a few seconds would satisfy me. But my damn head warning me to leave her alone,the last thing I wanted to do was to be checking up on her.
"Hey" Kyla ruffled her hair with a towel. It was so obvious she was loved up with Glen,the dorky grin and constant happiness was a dead give away.
"Coffee?" I ask already grabbing another mug.
Kyla nodded and ran her hands through her damp hair. "I'm so tired,I cant believe I slept in so late. Why didn't you wake me?" she asks pulling out a chair and sitting at the kitchen table.
I shrug my shoulders and pour the coffee. "Get an alarm clock" I reply bluntly. Only annoyed by the fact I was missing Spencer terribly and Kyla was the nearest person I could take it out on. Handing the coffee to Kyla,I leant against the kitchen units as I sipped the hot coffee.
"You heard from Spencer?" Kyla innocently asks although I can feel my stomach twist in painful knots. "You know its Glen's birthday next weekend,im thinking of throwing him a surprise party" she smiles dreamily.
I force an unconvincing smile and rub my forehead a little. "Spencer..she's just busy you know..college" I nod and try to block out all the negative thoughts trying to enter my brain. Spencer with another girl. Spencer flirting with another girl. Spencer hooking up with anybody else that's not me.
"Ashley..." Kyla rolls her eyes as I snap out from my day dream. My eyes lock with hers and I then realise that im a crap liar. "Is everything ok between you guys?" she asks looking genuinely concerned.
I nod sweeping the hair from my eyes. "Everything Is good,its all good" I speak slowly already planning a romantic weekend in my mind. Spencer deserved to be treated and I wanted to be the one to treat her. We both have been working so hard that we deserve some time together,not just a few hours here and there.
"So about the party?" Kyla begins once again. My mind already wanting to switch off from pointless chatter about Glen. These days anything that came from Kyla's mouth was about her boyfriend,or half the time she was waiting for somebody to bring him up so she could talk about him.
Trying my hardest to concentrate,I nod and make all the right sounds. "Sounds great" I say in my most cheeriest tone I could fathom. My heart suddenly jumps as my cell phone begins to vibrate against my leg. Putting my coffee cup down I fumble in my pocket,a smile broadens across my face when I see Spencer's name.
"Hey Spence" I flash a smile at Kyla now walking back towards her bedroom giving me some space. "Now? Yeah sure,give me ten minutes" I grin grabbing my car keys as she hangs up. With Spencer finishing early this gives us some time to be together,her sweet voice instantly brightening my mood. "I'm meeting Spence,talk to you later" I call to Kyla and rush out the door.
* * * *
A rush of students exit the building,I watch from my car. It was easy to spot Spencer from a crowd because she was so gorgeous. My fingers tapping the steering wheel as I waited anxiously,I hated waiting. I'm probably the most impatient person,I don't know how Spencer puts up with me at times. Just as boredom takes over and I reach over to switch the radio on,I see her. Spencer's long blond hair blowing in the wind as she holds her books tightly to her chest. Sometimes it was like watching her in slow motion,the way her face would form a perfect smile and the sweet sound of her laugh was enough to fill my heart forever. A group of girls wave her goodbye and she half runs towards my car,I can tell by the expression on her face she is excited to see me.
"Hey!" Spencer grins opening the car door and sitting herself down.
"Hey I was beginning to think you were never going to come out" I joke staring into her sparkling sea blue eyes.
Spencer laughs and tilts her head to the side,"What,and miss spending time with you? Not for a second!" she smiles and leans into hug me.
I wrap my arms around her and take in her scent. That sweet smell of perfume and shampoo,it always sends me to heaven and back. Just holding Spencer in my arms feels so right. These are the moments I want to capture on tape and lock them away forever,just knowing she is all mines enough to make me smile. "So how about dinner and back to mine,I could really do with a full making out session" I grin as wide as possible and start the car once again.
"Ashley Davies your no good for me" Spencer jokes sliding her sunglasses on and leaning against the window.
"Ah..that's not what you said the other night Carlin..infact quite the opposite" I joke back loving the playful banter we so easily fall into. Spencer is my girlfriend and best friend all rolled into one. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Spencer rolls her eyes as I pull out of the college,i cant help but look at her from the corner of my eye. As I stop at the traffic lights I reach for her hand and our fingers lock together. Spencer turns her head towards me and gives me one of them smiles I love. The smile that lets me know she loves me. The smile that I long to see on her gorgeous face.
"Were you waiting long for me?" Spencer asks.
As much as I hate letting go of her hand I gently unlock our fingers and change gear. "I'd wait forever if I had to" I speak softly. Spencer is the one and only person that completely softened me,as much as I hate to admit it..im totally whipped by this girl. I would do anything she says without questioning it.
This is totally from Ashley's POV and will be told throughout the whole story. Please review because I have a lot of drama and Spashley cuteness coming your way soon!
