It's a rainy Thursday afternoon. Spencer has just finished the last of her homework. Mentally exhausted, she jumps on her bed and stretches her tired body. She decides to catch up on the latest celebrity gossip and starts to read the tabloid. She reads through three pages when her cell phone rings. Spencer looks at the name on the caller ID and a small smile crept upon her face.
"Hello?" Spencer said pretending like she didn't know who was on the other line.
"Hey babe it's Ash. Just wondering what you were up to." Spencer's smile grows larger.
"Just indulging in Star Life magazine and reading about the tragic lives of celebrities. Why?"
"Why how very teeny bopper of you. Well, I was wondering if you come over and maybe watch a movie with me. Maybe down a pint or two of B&J while we're at it. I was planning on going to the video store and maybe pick you up on the way." Ashley said with a sweet tone of voice that Spencer could not refuse.
"Yeah sure, let me just ask my mom. I'll call you back. Bye"
"Sure. Bye"
Spencer lightly jogs down her stairs and heads to the kitchen where her mom is surprisingly pouring a glass of chardonnay.
"Special occasion?" Spencer asks sounding concerned.
"No. Just unwinding. I had two gunshot wound patients and a handful of stabs", a tired Paula says.
"Oh"
"Did you need something honey?"
"Oh yeah, Ashley invited me to watch a movie at her house. Can I go?...Please?" Spencer asks with her hands folded together.
"I don't know Spencer. It's a school night. And Ashley?" Paula being Paula.
"But Mom, it's like 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I'll be home before 11. And you know what I said about giving her a chance" Spencer negotiated.
"Well, alright. But no later than 11. Okay?
"Yes Mom. I love you." Spencer gives her mother a kiss on the cheek and runs up stairs to put some things together to take to Ashley's place. Paula lets out a disappointing sigh and takes a long sip of her wine.
Spencer grabs her phone and dials Ashley's number. (Spencer's POV thinking to herself) I'm so excited. I am actually going to have some quiet time alone with her. It's rare that we have time alone anymore, ever since mom walked in on us. I'm surprised she's even giving Ashley a chance. Let's hope things stay this way. God I hope we can do other activities rather than watch movies. I want to show Ashley that I love her. Even though it would only be the second time, I want it to be perfect…again. In less than three rings Ashley picks up the phone.
"So can you come over?" Ashley says quickly.
"Yea. She said it would be fine. I just need to be home by 11."
"We can abide by that. I'll be there in less than ten minutes. So hurry…oh and BRING A BIKINI." Ashley nearly screamed the last part.
"Okay..wait what why?" Spencer says out of curiosity.
"You'll see. See ya soon" click.
Spencer stares at her phone which now says "Call Ended" and lightly laughs to herself. She walks over to her closet and grabs an oversized sweatshirt, boxers, and her favorite brown bikini. She shoves the clothes in her backpack and grabs her purse. Spencer decides to wait outside because she becomes too anxious to wait inside the house, especially in her room.
"Ah. The freshly polluted air of Los Angeles will calm my nerves for now", Spencer says sarcastically to herself.
Just then, a convertible pulls up in front of her driveway.
"Hey babe get in" Ashley gives Spencer a wink. (Ashley's POV thinking to herself) God she looks amazing. I can't believe this beautiful girl is mine. I just want to have a quiet night with the woman I love. Okay that's a lie. I want to have an amazing night with the woman I love. I hope she will be open to my plans. I don't want to push her into anything she doesn't want to do. But I mean we've slept together once already, so it shouldn't be too much for her. But whatever she wants I will do…or not do.
"Hey" Spencer says with a glowing smile on her face. That smile breaks when the brunette's lips collide with the blonde's for a quick peck. Ashley changes the gear to D and drives away.
"So what kind of movie are we watching tonight." Spencer asks.
"Well, I was thinking of a horror film or a chick flick. Yea I know my options are totally off, but I am in the mood for either gore or romance…or both."
"Um…." Spencer takes a while to think of something.
"Something scary sounds goods. How about something relatively old like Silence of the Lambs or Texas Chainsaw Massacre?"
"Uhh…that is so unlike you Spence, but I like it. I'm definitely in the mood to watch some guy's leg get chopped off"
