"I don't know about this Kyla, I think we need to take our time deciding on who our new roommate should be."
"Spencer I'm telling you this girl is perfect! She's in my intro to art class and she's really cool. And we could really use the help on rent. Did I mention she's loaded! Her dad is Raife Davies, the lead singer of Purple Venom!"
"Well I guess that's cool and all Kyla, I just wish we could have decided on a roommate together."
"I know Spence, but trust me, you are going to love Ashley! She's going to be moving her stuff in this afternoon."
"Well if my best friend loves her then I'm sure I will love her as well."
"Yay! Thank you Spence! I promise you will love her so much! And she's really hot so you will thank me!"
"Well I do love hot girls so maybe this will be a good thing."
"It will be a great thing Spence, trust me!"
"Okay Ky, if you like her, I'm sure I will like her too. Hey I have to get going, I told Aiden I would study with him this afternoon for our abnormal psychology exam. He should be in the library waiting for me. "
"Okay Spence, I'll see you tonight. We can have dinner with Ashley and you can get to know her."
"Sounds good, I'll see you tonight Ky."
"Ok Spence, oh tell Aiden I said hey, he is super-hot!"
"I will do that, see you later."
Kyla was Spencer's best friend, they had been best friends since the third grade when Kyla moved to Los Angeles. Spencer was pretty outgoing and saw that Kyla was new and didn't have many friends. She decided to make the new girl feel at home, it turned out that Kyla and Spencer had a lot of things in common and they just clicked. They have been inseparable ever since. Kyla was even super accepting when Spencer came out to her. Kyla was even there when Spencer came out to her family, which had gone way better than Spencer could have imagined. The Carlin's had always suspected that Spencer was gay and when Spencer had confirmed their suspicions they were more than happy to support their daughter. Even Spencer's Brothers Glen and Clay were really supportive, Spencer was a lucky girl and she never forgot it. She was also lucky that she got to live with her best friend while they were in college. It was Spencer's third year of college. Spencer and Kyla had gotten tired of living with their parents and following rules. It was Kyla's idea to get a three bedroom apartment last year. Their friend Chelsea had also lived with them last year and since they all had part time jobs, they were able to pay the bills. Everything was great till Chelsea got accepted into this art school in Paris. She had moved away last month and since she had left Kyla and Spencer were barely getting by with the bills. That's when Kyla came up with the idea of inviting Ashley Davies to move in with them. Sure Spencer would have wished she had a say in the selecting process, but Spencer was not going to pass on a girl that could help them keep the apartment. And if Kyla liked this girl then Spencer knew that she would as well.
"You're late Spence."
"I know Aiden, I'm sorry. I got caught up with Kyla talking about our new roommate."
"Oh she found someone already? That was fast."
"I know, but we could really use the extra help with the bills. And I trust Kyla's judgement."
"Yeah I guess Kyla does have pretty good judgement, she did pick your crazy ass as a best friend."
"Hey I'm totally awesome! And you know Kyla is single."
"Yeah I know. I like her, but I don't know if I want anything serious right now."
"You're just afraid of commitment Aiden."
"Oh whatever Spence, as I do recall you haven't had a girlfriend since sophomore year of high school."
"I haven't found the right girl yet."
"I think you're just afraid to love someone again. Ever since Katie cheated on you in high school you have ran from serious relationships."
"So what if I do Aiden, it did kill me to find her in bed with Carmen. I thought she loved me, but I was wrong."
"Not every girl is going to break your heart Spencer. And how can you ever find love again if you just keep running."
"I'll know when I'm ready for something serious Aid. Until then I just want to focus on my studies."
"Well if that's what you really want to do. Hey we better get started, this test is going to be a bitch, and I heard it's a hundred questions."
"Damn, guess we should start, ok what are some behaviors associated with Generalized Anxiety Disorder?"
After five hours in the library Spencer was positive she was going to ace this exam. She was always a bright student and when it came to tests she always had a way of picking the right answers. She was confident in herself and knew that she knew the information. She can't believe it was already going on ten o'clock. She totally missed dinner with Kyla, Kyla would understand though. She said goodbye to Aiden and made her way to her car, it was a pretty beat up old Chevy Impala, but Spencer had gotten it as a present from her grandpa when she was sixteen, and it was nice having her own set of wheels, so Spencer wasn't complaining. The drive home was a nice one, there was a cool breeze. The night air even smelled like a bonfire, one of Spencer's favorite smells. When she finally got home it was almost ten thirty. Kyla would probably be asleep because she had work early in the morning before class. Spencer was quiet when she came in, so she didn't wake her up. She quietly made her way to the kitchen to see if there was any leftovers from dinner, Spencer was starving. She made her way inside the fridge and spotted some leftover lasagna and garlic bread. Once of Spencer's favorites! She grabbed the food and made her way over to the table and jumped when she saw a shadowy figure at the table. It was a girl that Spencer didn't recognize. It must have been Ashley, shit Spencer had forgotten all about her moving in today.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I like having a snack before bed while I listen to some music."
"It's totally fine, I just keep forgetting we have a third person here now. Kyla always goes to bed early on Tuesday nights. I'm Spencer by the way."
"I know, I'm Ashley. It's really a pleasure to finally get to meet you. Kyla talks about you all of the time."
"She says good things I hope. Let me get the light so I can actually see you."
Spencer put down her food and felt for the dining room light switch. It was the light went on that she finally saw what Ashley Davies had looked like. Kyla had told Spencer that Ashley was hot, but that couldn't even begin to describe this girl. She was gorgeous! She had sexy brown hair with red bangs, a fit body, and the most beautiful brown eyes Spencer had ever seen. Spencer had never seen a more beautiful girl in her life. Even her ex-girlfriend Katie couldn't compare to this girl, and Spencer thought Katie was a goddess.
"Spencer?"
"Huh?"
"I asked what your major was."
"Oh, sorry it's Psychology."
"Oh that's awesome! I'm an art major, but you must already know that because that's how I met Kyla."
"Yeah I kind of figured so. So are you from around here?"
"Yeah I've lived in Los Angeles my whole life. We probably would have went to high school together, but I went to Westcott Academy because my parents thought I would be better off in a private school."
"Lucky you, you probably got a great education there."
"Not really, but the girls at my school were pretty hot so I wasn't complaining."
Did Ashley just say girls? So this means that this incredibly gorgeous girl was into girls. Maybe this new roommate was going to work out pretty great. Wow Kyla is actually pretty amazing when it comes to selecting a roommate. Spencer would definitely have to thank her tomorrow.
"Do you mind if I stay up with you while you eat dinner? I can't really sleep this early and a new environment makes it harder."
"Not at all, gives us a chance to get more aquatinted."
After about three hours Spencer had decided that Kyla was totally right about this girl. She was really cool and easy to talk to. She had found out that Ashley was kind of a bad girl in high school and was always getting into trouble. She almost dropped out of high school, but then she had turned her life around when her best friend had overdosed on cocaine. It was a huge wake up call for Ashley. After that she decided then and there that she wasn't going to join her friend six feet under. Spencer also thought it was pretty cool to learn that Ashley was in a band. Apparently her dad's musical talent had rubbed off on her. Spencer definitely wanted to hear her band play one day. Ashley was also a very talented artist, she showed Spencer her sketchbook and Spencer was just blown away. There was nothing this girl couldn't do, she was amazing!
"Wow look at the time! I better get some sleep, I have this exam in the morning that I studied all night for."
"Sorry to have kept you up so late Spencer."
"It's okay Ashley, it was definitely a pleasure to get to know you better. Now I see why Kyla picked you to be our third roommate."
"Is it because of my insanely good looks?"
"It's exactly because of that!"
"Spencer Carlin are you flirting with me?"
"Maybe I am, that a problem?"
"Not at all, a little flirting never hurt anyone."
"My thoughts exactly. Well goodnight Ashley, try not to dream about me all night."
"Well I can try Spencer, but I can't promise anything. Sweet Dreams."
Spencer smiled and made her way into her bedroom and shut her door. Okay so not only is her new roommate insanely gorgeous, but she also flirted with Spencer. This whole situation could not get any better honestly. Maybe it was time Spencer stopped running from relationships and instead try to pursue one with this amazing girl. Okay maybe Spencer was getting ahead of herself, but Spencer knew one thing for sure, she would take any opportunity to flirt with Ashley. What did she have to lose?
Spencer woke up to the smell of pancakes cooking in the kitchen when her alarm went off at six the next morning, it smelled heavenly. Kyla would already be at work so it had to be Ashley cooking. Spencer decided to get up so she could have some time with Ashley before she had to get ready for class. She just needed to fix her hair so she could look attractive for Ashley. Spencer had some pretty bad bed head in the morning. A quick check in the mirror then she made her way to the kitchen.
"Morning Ashley!"
"Morning roomie! I made breakfast so help yourself to some chocolate chip pancakes and freshly squeezed orange juice."
Spencer smiled and grabbed a plate. Suddenly Spencer realized that she wasn't alone with Ashley. There was a girl eating pancakes at the table. She had long black hair with purple highlights. Who the hell was this girl and what was she doing in their apartment?
"You must be Spencer, Ashley has told me a little about you. I heard you kept her company last night while she was doing her late night snacking. I keep telling her she needs to stop eating so late, it's not good for her stomach."
"Yes I'm Spencer. And you are?"
"Oh I'm sorry, where are my manners. I'm Rita, Ashley's girlfriend."
Girlfriend? Ashley never mentioned she had a girlfriend once last night. And she had a cute girlfriend, Spencer definitely couldn't compete with this girl. This arrangement went from the best to the worse real quick…
