"We've shared our lives and all of what we know, But now it seems you don't know me from, The guy next door, or the next or the next. Give it back, You need to give it back. The loyalty is something that you lack. I let you in and showed you all of me, But you took it all then trashed the place, And I'm so sick of cleaning it up. Give it back, You need to give it back, The loyalty is something that you lack. Give it back." I sang as I cleaned my room. It didn't really need cleaning, there was just nothing else to do. Today was just an ordinary boring day and I didn't feel like coming out of my room because I knew that as soon as I did someone would just be expecting something from me. Just like every Saturday, in fact just like everyday since I moved here. See I used to live in Ohio, some of the best times of my life were spent there, but now I'm in L.A. But even I have to admit that this place seems a lot less bad if you have a beautiful girlfriend with you.
"Spencer!" called my mom. I rolled my eyes at her voice, well more like the tone in it. She was about to complain about Ashley I just know it. So before she can invade my room I walk down the stairs and see the fakest grin she's ever shown me.
"Hey sweetie, I have something I want to run by you, see since we are going to Canada and you guys are growing up your father and I have decided that each of you can bring one friend, ok well your brothers brought it up again and we said yes, so I just wanted to know who you wanted to bring." Paula finished. So that's it, she knows that I'm going to pick Ashley and she knows that my dad is going to allow it. I play with her head and pretend that I'm actually thinking about it.
"Uh Ashley." I say rather slowly just because it's fun to watch my mom cringe. That and I love to hear her name, even if I'm the one saying it. Mom just sighs and walks away, see I told you she knows she can't do anything about it. I smile and go back to my room to call Ashley and tell her that she's coming.
"Hello," she answers groggily from the phone. I forgot Ashley doesn't wake up until twelve and it's only ten.
"Good morning beautiful." I smile as if she's right here in front of me. As if she is standing right mere inches away from me.
"Ugh, Spence I love you, but if you wake me up this early again, I may just have to kill you." She says from the other end.
"Well what if I offered you a trip to a sunny island with sand and rocks, and calm relaxing waves, a nice boat ride, and lots and lots of romance." Spencer said with a smile, she could hear Ashley sigh on the other end and could practically see her smiling ear to ear.
"Mmmmm that sounds really nice Spence," She tells me. I love when she does this, makes me feel like I'm the best person in the world, makes me feel so amazingly important. "But I'm guessing we won't be alone." Ashley replies knowing my family way to well.
"Well no but It's a really big island Ash, and maybe we can still get time alone together, in fact I know we can because there are different houses on the island and I'd really love if you would go with me." I whine. I use the voice I know she can't resist just to make her decision easier.
"Fine." She says after an exaggerated sigh. I smile like I just won the lottery at her answer.
"Ok well you should come over and help me pack." I tell her excitedly.
"What when are we going?" Ashley asked shocked that I'm already packing.
"Tuesday." I reply like it's nothing.
"What Spence, that's like three days away!" She yells over the phone. I wince knowing how frantic she can get under pressure.
"Ash don't worry about it ok, I'll help you pick out things to wear and stuff." I tell her trying to calm her down. I just listen to her sigh and her next sentence which sends chills throughout my body, the good kind though.
"You're lucky I love you Spencer Carlin." I smile and we hang up the phone so she can get ready and come over.
XXX
I hang up the phone and smile to myself uncontrollably. How is it she can always do this to me? Make me smile like an idiot. Well it doesn't matter because right now I need to get ready to see that girl that does amazing things to me. I'm shuffling through my clothes unsure of what it is I want to wear.
"Hey Ashley, where are you headed?" Kyla asks as I speed down the steps.
"Spencer's." Is all I say before rushing out the door. I turn the car on and take in the beauty that is early morning L.A. Or at least early for me. The cool breeze and bright shining sun are very soothing today. I can't seem to put my finger on it but something is different today, something great is going to happen, I know it. I'm still taking in the great view as I stop at a red light. My fingers unconsciously tap to the guitar of Lifehouse's Trying. I smile unsure of the reason, just smiling. Maybe at the beauty placed in front of me. Maybe at how lucky I am right now or maybe at how perfect life is at this particular moment. I finally pull up into Spencer's driveway and my smile just gets wider knowing that I'm about to see the girl of my dreams. I walk up on the porch and knock three times and Glen opens the door.
"What do you want?" He asked with a sense of hostility.
"Spence called me to come over now get out of my way." I tell him. Ok not the best guest in the world but he was an ass what am I supposed to say. I push my way past him and run up the steps to knock on her door. She comes to the door with nothing but a towel on and I'm already getting wet. She smiles at me brightly.
"Hey." she says, me still staring at her with no words. She pulls me in her room and locks the door behind her still looking at me. Still looking at how speechless I am. She starts to blush and I guess I've made her uncomfortable so I try to think of something to say.
"Hi." was all I could manage. She smiles and laughs, well at least someone is enjoying my lame comment.
"So…" She says. Why are things so awkward right now? Oh right I'm still staring at her breasts.
"Uh um so you uh wanted help packing?" I ask. Spencer smiles at I'm guessing my face and steps closer to me taking just one of my wrists. I'm just sitting on her bed confused at her sudden quietness. She starts to move my limp hand again and its heading towards the bottom of her towel. I think she's smiling but I don't know because I'm not looking at her face anymore. She lets go of my hand and I slide my fingers up her thigh and can feel the goose bumps of anticipation form on her body and then her shiver. I yank my hand away as someone knocks on the door. Spencer walks over to it ready to unlock it.
"Spencer, your mom and I are going out for a couple minutes." Arthur calls through the door I sigh of relief and get up off the bed spinning Spencer around.
"Ok dad." She yells back her eyes never once leaving mine. I lower my head and start to kiss and nibble her neck. She giggles a little and pushes me away.
"There is a reason you're hear remember?" she asks me. I just sigh and nod.
"You're such a tease." I mumble to her with a smile. She smiles and takes off her towel right in front of me and I swear it took every bit of me not to jump her right then and there.
"Just let me change." She said with a smile. There is no way I'm letting her get away with that. I chase after her into the closet and she squeals with laughter as I throw her on the bed. I lay on top of her and brush hair out of her face. Now we're both smiling like idiots.
