Feedback: I would like to have some feed back, but I'm not gonna force you to review so that I will update, I hate it when authors do that, I don't think its fair.
Pairings: This is a Spashley story, so that should give you a hint towards who the pairings are. Everyone else's pairings will soon be seen in the story.
Rating: Well I don't understand the American ratings because I live in the UK but according to the FF ratings, I'm going to put this as a T, but I might change it to an M later on in the story.
'Never Been Higher'
'Chapter 1: Chance meetings'
-Spencer's P.O.V-
Vacations...
The very things people would do for just a couple of weeks of relaxation.
For me, I see it as a place you go that you have no idea where anything is, you have an uncomfortable bed, and you can hardly understand what anyone says because of the laguage difference,
So to put it simply, it's like two weeks of hell. Add an annoying brother and sister, who will push you into the pool any chance they get and roll me into the sand after I just put sun block on, to the mix and there we have it. Although Jen is a year younger than me, and she's more of a pain in the ass than Glen sometimes; she's my best friend...but yeah it's still hell being on a vacation with her.
Oh wait you need the devil for it to be hell, well my Mom is also with us, so she fits the bill pretty nicely. That's another reason I hate vacations, my Mom never lets me have any fun even though I'm now 18. Like for example, she wont let me go out with Glen, she's worried that he will introduce me to boys.
Well there are two things wrong with that theory, the first one being that Glen would never introduce me to guys because he is too busy getting turned down by girls, and the second...is that I wouldn't even get with the guys that I would supposedly be introduced to, and the reason for that is...
I kinda like girls
Well I think I like girls, I've only just realised recently. I mean I haven't dated a girl or anything but I find girls more attracted than guys. So yeah, i think it's safe to say no guys.
The only person who knows about this is Jen, there is no way I could tell anyone else in my family, my parents and especially my Mom would not be happy about it. Glen...now Glen would just grass me up to her , then he would either make jokes, or totally ignore me. It could go either way. And my Dad. Well i don't really know what his reaction would be. hes always been completely unpredictable.
So for now Jen is the only one who knows, and I trust her with my life, and she trusts me with hers, so I know my secret is safe while I have time to figure it out myself. She was fine with it though, that's the good thing about her, she doesn't care about who i love, she just want me to be happy.
So there you have it, the reasons I hate vacations. And here's the fun part,
Guess where I am right now...
Give up?
Well I am on a plane with my 'oh so fantastic' family on the way to sunny Greece, now apart from what I just said, I have always wanted to go to there, just minus the family.
Yup, Sun, sea, sightseeing,long ass flights and thanks to my mother, no margaritas.
I do love the beach though. It's peaceful... most of the time if Glen isn't there trying to get me to bury him in the sand. Jen is pretty quiet, she loves her music and spends most of her time listening a playing it. And I must admit she has some pretty good taste in music.
"Would all passengers please fasten their seatbelts and turn off all electrical devices for landing, thank you" the captains voice mumbled through the speaker, I could only just make out what he was saying.
I looked to the side of me to see Glen gripping the arms of his chair while Jen was on the other side of him laughing at his expression. What a wimp, he never did like flying.
"you big baby" I stated to him and he turned to and glared,
"Spencer shut up" Glen hissed gritting his teeth, me and Jen just kept laughing,
"I think he needs his diaper changed, I'm guessing he's filled it by now" Jen laughed out while Glen just glared at both of us,
"Spencer, Jennifer! Stop teasing your brother" Mom scolded from the seats in front of us.
We carried on laughing while Glen stuck his tongue out at me, I gave him one right back, but not before taking a picture of his terrified expression with my phone.
At least something is actually making this flight better.
Three long hours later and we're finally pulling into the hotel, but we just have to wait for the keys to our rooms and then I can relax, hopefully.
Thankfully because of room space, I'm sharing a room with Jen, While poor Glen has to share with the parents, oh joy, I'm just crying inside for him, no really I am.
I really do suck a lying.
Anyway, I'm just happy that I'm sharing a room with Jen, at least its not with Mom. I think I would die if I did. Constant moaning and whining would give me permanent brain damage.
I lugged the suitcase up to the reception following my family up into the air conditioned building. It would have been nice to have some help with these bags but Glen is too busy checking out the girls with bikinis; Jen is listening to her music again and the parents are getting the keys. So no help for me. So I just lugged the suitcase over to sit on one of the couches. I stopped the case and dropped on the coach and rubbing my face while groaning,
"So are you just not the vacation type or do you just like to groan randomly" a husky voice broke the silence and I removed my hand to look at the owner of the it. I looked up to see a beautiful girl with brunette curls that ended at her shoulders. She was wearing shorts and a bikini top that suited her tanned skin.
So to put It perfectly. She's HOT!
She was sending me an amused smile and I couldn't help but send an embarrassed one back to her,
"I would have to say the first one" I replied placing my hands on my knees and looking down at my feet. She slowly nodded and sat down beside me, I turned and I couldn't help but look into her beautiful brown eyes.
"And why is that?" she questioned and I laughed looking over at the reception desk and pointed to my parents who were conversing with the reception, Glen who was still checking out the girls, and Jen walking outside to soak up the sun.
"Embarrassing family!" I stated and she sent me an 'Oh' expression,
"Right, I guess that could be the reason for the groaning... but if I were you I would be hitting up the beach by now" she said with a giggle at the end, then taking a sip from her water bottle. I smiled at her and furrowed my eyebrows.
"And who are you?" I asked her with an amused smile on my face, she then pretended to think it over while I chuckled slightly,
"Well I get called a lot of things, but to brighten your mood, I'll let you have the nicer one...Ashley Davies" she laughed sticking out her hand, I took it politely, revelling in the softness of her skin.
"Spencer Carlin" I replied with a shake of my hand, then letting go, she smiled at me and looked back over at my family,
"So...you just got here?" she asked genuinely interested in my answer, I just nodded and sighed,
"Yeah, sadly" I said back to her and she frowned a little at my answer,
"How come you don't like vacations then, you're not one of those people that stay in their houses and hardly see sun light are you" she asked grimacing in a joking manor, I just laughed,
"No, I'm not, don't worry...I come out at least twice a year" I joked back and then she laughed tilting her head back. It was one of the nicest laughs I had ever heard, I smiled and then carried on, looking back down at my feet,
"I don't know, I guess I like my own space, and when I go on vacations I feel like I'm stuck in a cage because the only people I know are my family, and I can't really understand most of the people here, and I'm not that partial to Greek" I confessed and she nodded with a smile,
"I can understand that, families are never what you want them to be" she said looking down to her lap, I looked over to her with a concerned expression,
"Are you here with your family?" I asked and she looked over to me and smiled sadly,
"Kind of, I'm here with my sister and her boyfriend, but it gets pretty lonely being around them, you know, the third wheel treatment" I nodded understanding what she meant by that,
"Well at least you can do anything you want thought right?" I asked and she looked thoughtful and I couldn't help get lost in her eyes again,
"Yeah, that's true, but It's no fun if you have no one to do it with" she replied and I nodded once again,
It was strange, I'd only known this girl for like 15 minutes, but I already feel comfortable enough to talk to her, that usually never happens for me.
"So how long have you been here?" I asked as she took another sip of her water before replying,
"About two days now, so two days of being alone, how fun" she said mockingly and I laughed,
"So do you usually spend your free time talking to strangers in the hotel lobby" she smiled at me making her nose crinkle in the cutest way.
"Well technically you're not a stranger, I know your name, and plus you looked like you needed cheering up" she explained and I laughed lightly,
"Well then, mission accomplished Miss Davies, thank you" I stated and smiled at her and she just winked at me which made my stomach turn, but in a good way.
"You're welcome Miss Carlin, wouldn't want the start of your vacation to be all that bad" she stated and I smiled again looking towards my family,
"Don't get your hopes up, I still have two weeks left" I mumbled out and she smiled sadly at me and was about to say something when I heard my Dads voice echo through the lobby,
"Spencer!" he shouted and motioned for me to go over, I sighed and stood up and Ashley followed suit, I then turned to her and smiled,
"Well thanks again for cheering me up Ashley, it was nice talking to you" I said extending my hand and to her and she took it with no hesitation,
"No problem Spencer, it was great talking to you too, I guess I'll see you around?" she asked hope lacing her tone, I nodded enthusiastically,
"Yeah" I said simply and she smiled once again, it was then that I realised I was still holding her hand, I let go awkwardly, she smiled and I thought I saw the slightest blush on her cheek, I then pointed over to my family with my thumb,
"Well I better go, bye Ashley" I stated and she smiled and nodded biting her lip, and I felt another fluttering feeling in my stomach.
"Bye stranger" she winked and then turned around and walked away, my eyes following her, and I know it's sounds really perverted, but I couldn't help but notice how nice her ass was,
What? It's not a crime to look at someone's ass! Well sometimes it is but...meh, who cares, she's got a pretty nice one.
"Spencer come on!" Glen shouted, braking me out of my perverseness, I then actually smiled and turned around and walked towards my family.
Maybe this vacation won't be so bad after all.
