Chapter One

Shy and insecure are words one could use to describe Spencer Carlin. She doesn't understand the curves of her body, she doesn't look like a supermodel or any woman you would see on T.V., and she resents herself for it. Maybe if she was a size two she would be prettier, life would be easier. She wouldn't have to slave away all day making $2.25 plus tips at a low class nearly run down restaurant. Some day's people would call her beautiful just because it was true, but very few people have. Mostly anytime she's ever heard it before it came from a family member, which she felt came out of comfort, or from people who were trying to protect her feelings, they didn't have the heart to tell her she was ugly and could stand to lose a few pounds or more. These are some of the things that ran through her mind as she worked. Embarrassed by the way the tacky red and orange waitress uniform hung to her body. It was two sizes smaller than what she would have liked, but the manufacturer did not make plus size uniforms and the owner was to cheap to shell out the cash for one that fit properly. Some would say it hugged her curves nicely, the others she often heard talking about her as she walked away.

Tired and ready for her day to end she wiped down her last three tables and collected her tips. Her tips for the day totaled to a measly thirty-five dollars even. With a big sigh she pulled the apron of shoving it into her knock off bag and stepped into the cool L.A. night. She hugged her thin jacket tightly to her body as she debated walking home or waiting for the bus. No sooner than she decided to walk and enjoy the cool breeze, did it begin to poor down rain, Mother Nature made that decision for her. She pulled the hood over her head and ran across the street managed to only get a little wet before finding shelter under the dimly lit bus stop.

Not to far away, Ashley Davies was just finishing up her boxing work out at the gym. As she leaned against her locker to catch her breath she noticed the time and decided to forego a shower and take one when she got home. She reached into her bag and pulled out a pair of sweats and a hoodie to slip over her basketball shorts and wife beater. She grabbed her keys and threw her duffle bag over her shoulder stepping outside to find it pouring rain. She used her cell phone to unlock the doors of her candy red 2012 Ferrari Dino 420. She used her voice reconigition system to start her car as she threw her duffle bag in the passagener seat and peeled out of the parking lot faster than she should have given the current weather conditions. She was trying to change the station on the radio with the controls and the steering wheel but she hadn't quite got it down yet so she opted for the old school manual way. She didn't notice the red light she was approaching until it was almost too late. She slammed on brakes, feeling the car jerk, she heard the water crash back down to the ground from where her tires made it splash.

Spencer was pacing at the bus stop in she could feel her frustration growing, her bus was over thirty minutes late and she was freezing to make matters worse somebody slammed on brakes splashing water all over her back side. She turned around to see a fancy red car with dark tinted windows, before she could even think about what to do the driver peeled off splashing water all over her front, leaving her standing there mouth agape. Her shoulders dropped in defeat as she grew even more impatient before she decided that since she was already wet there would be no harm in walking home. She pulled off the wedges she wore to work to make her appear taller; she also secretly thought that they made her appear slimmer as well. As she walked down the street other thoughts flooded her mind, like the fact that she was well over due for a doctor's appointment and rent was due in two weeks. As her stomach growled she also had the realization that she had not had the opportunity to go grocery shopping. She made a last minute decision to stop at the In & Out Station to gather a few things to hold her over for the next few days. She stopped slipping her shoes back on before walking into the seemingly deserted convience store.

Meanwhile, Ashley was waiting on her chicken and potato wedge order to be done. All she wanted to do was go home and relax in her favorite leather recliner drink her beer, eat her food and watch Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives. She turned her head when she hear the bell above the door ring out just to see who walked in and was immediately captivated by the beauty of the voluptuous goddess that at appeared. Her eyes followed the creamy milk skin around the store watching her observe the products available. As Spencer loaded her basket with cold burgers and sandwiches from the fridge, then to the drinks where she loaded up on juices and bottles of water, onto the snack isle where a few bags of chips were added, she hummed to herself trying to make herself forget her stresses for a little while clear her head if at all possible. She seemed almost as if she was on autopilot, her mind in another dimension. The sound of a bed brought her back to reality, and she nearly ran into a woman standing near the check out counter. Shock from the almost collision causing her to drop her basket, spilling out the contents.

"Excuse me", she spoke while bending down to pick up her stuff, "I should have been paying attention to where I was going". Her voice was soft, sweet, and raspy. She spoke so quietly Ashley almost wasn't sure if she said anything at all. When she stood she was about two inches shorter than Ashley, taking in to account the shoes upon her feet she figured the beauty to be around five foot two bare foot, which she found adorable compared to her five foot seven stature. She smirked to herself then shook her head at the image of this woman barefoot in her kitchen cooking breakfast. She was getting ahead of herself, for she did not know this woman at all. "It's alright" she replied, as she helped her gather her things and place them on the counter. As the Spencer bent down to retrieve her purse the cashier began ringing stuff up, Ashley stood back patiently waiting to pay for her food. "Your total is $45.67 mam." Spencer had a panicked expression on her face that did not sit well with Ashley. She looked up worried, renoticing Ashley with her beer and chicken ad told her to go head. Preferring to be a gentle woman she politely declined and waited for the young woman to make her purchase. Spencer smiled a tight smile and apologized, "I'm sorry I seem to have misplaced my card, I don't want to hold you up with my forgetfulness. Please go in front of me." Ashley tilted her head in agreement and stepped forward as the clerk let out an irritated groan at the thought of having to put all this stuff back as Spencer creep out the door embarrassed that she couldn't pay for her food, not that she really needed it anyway, a few days of not eating couldn't hurt her, maybe she'd lose a few pounds, she thought as she began to walk home again.
