Cabin Fever

Chapter One

Ashley had told Spencer she would help her pack for the trip up to the cabin. The rest of the Carlins were going to be out until really late that night doing who-knows-what. Ashley was about to knock on Spencer's bedroom door when she hear loud music blasting and Spencer singing along equally as loud and a little off-key. "You make me want to LA LA! In the kitchen, on the floor!"

Ashley chuckled to herself and instead of knocking, she slowly and silently opened Spencer's door because, "If there's obnoxious singing, there's got to be some crazy dancing going on too," she said to herself. Ashley held in her laughter as to not disrupt the manic maneuvers being performed before her.

Spencer was wearing light pink booty shorts with the word "CHEER" written across her ass and a tight, plain white t-shirt. Her hair was back in a messy ponytail, and she was dancing? …cavorting about her room, singing Ashley Simpson's "La La" into a small baby blue feather duster. "I'll be a French maid! Where I'll meet you at the door!"

On the word door, she spun to face the door of her bedroom, pointing the feather duster towards it. Her entire body flushed red. Anyone's would if the beautiful Ashley Davies was standing in their doorway, laughing her ass off at them. Ashley buckled over, roaring with laughter at the horrified-but-adorable look on Spencer's face.

Spencer opened her mouth a couple times before she decided the music was to loud to think right (yeah, it was just the music) and walked over to her computer to turn down the speakers before turning to Ashley. "Uhm… I didn't hear you come in…"

Ashley stood up straight and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Yeah, no shit, Spence." She started to laugh again. "You met me at the door alright. With your little feather duster and everything!" She burst out laughing again.

Spencer flushed once more when she realized she was still holding the feather duster. She dropped it on her floor and walked over to the door, reached behind Ashley, and shut it. "Shut up! I was cleaning my room so I can go on the trip!" Spencer tried to pout, but Ashley's laughter was infectious, and she began to giggle as well.

Once they'd calmed down, the girls sat on the edge of Spencer's bed. "What are you even doing here? You weren't supposed to be here until after 12!"

Ashley smirked. "Spence, it's a little after one…"

"What? No it's not! It's…" She looked at the clock on her nightstand. "…oh…"

Ashley chuckled. "You are so a cheerleader."

"Oh hush! I bet you do it too! You in your sexy boy shorts and camis, dancing around your room…" Spencer trailed off as she thought about Ashley doing just that. Then, she blushed. "Er… but you probably dance around jamming on your air guitar!" She stuck her tongue out at Ashley, trying to hide the fact that she was just thinking about her best friend, scantily clad.

"Hey! Don't mock my air guitar. She has feeling, too! Wait… did you say my boy shorts are sexy?" She smirked. She loved making her blonde friend squirm. She was just so damn cute!

Spencer played with the hem of her shirt, looking anywhere but at Ashley. "I might have said… something like that…"

"Aww. Spencey Wencey thinks I'm sexy!" she mocked. She was actually quite flattered, but she couldn't let Spencer know that quite yet. She stood in front of Spencer. "So what about me do you think is sexy? Is it my luxurious legs? Ohh or is it my wonderful ass?" Ashley turned to the side and stood straight to show off her butt.

Spencer's eyes lingered on Ashley's butt before trailing up the rest of Ashley's body and finally meeting the brunette's taunting eyes. She shook her head and buried her face in her hands, and Ashley stopped teasing and sat next to Spencer again, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "Hey, it's okay, finding girls attractive. Hell, I've been doing it my entire life," She jibed, trying to make Spencer feel a bit less embarrassed.

Spencer sighed. "I don't think girls are attractive, Ash!" Ashley looked slightly taken aback by the tone Spencer used. "Just… just you…" Spencer looked Ashley in the eye, and the plethora of emotions Ashley saw made her heart skip a beat. The one that stood out the most though, was fear.

Ashley tilted her head to the side, a soft smile played at her lips. "Really?"

"Yes, Ash! Gawd!" She stood up and started pacing her room. "I've liked you for a really long time, okay? I always just blew it off as just a best friend kind of connection, but I know that's not really what it is! I was just naïve. I mean, oh man, I can't like you, Ash! My mother would flip!"

Ashley stood and wrapped her arms around a conflicted Spencer. "Hey," she said softly, "come here." She pulled Spencer over to the bed and held her, Spencer's head resting on Ashley's chest. "It'll be okay, Spence." She sighed. "Okay, look. I like you too… a lot, but I know how your family is, and you still like guys, right? So, I mean… you don't really have to worry about it because I'm sure you'll find some guy eventually. I… ugh! Why is this so hard to say?" Ashley took a deep breath. "What I'm trying to say is… If you wanted to try… us… I wouldn't mind that one bit. And we could keep it just between us or, you know, whatever you need to do to just try and figure this out, I'm here for you, Spence. You're my best friend… Do you get what I'm saying?"

Spencer looked up at Ashley and smiled a little. "I think so… You're willing to try and take things slow and whatnot, but if I don't want to deal with my parents finding out, then you're okay with just being friends and keeping things how they have been… right?"

"Well… when you put it that way, it sounds so simple." Ashley smiled. "But yes, that's what I meant… I'm pretty sure, anyway." She chuckled lightly.

"Okay."

"Okay?" Spencer nodded. "Okay what?"

"I think I want to… I want to be with you Ashley… but we have to take things slow! Like, really slow… and I… I can't tell anyone."

Ashley nodded. "I understand, Spence." She placed a soft kiss on Spencer's temple and hugged her close. "So! Let's get packing, eh? We've got a lot of things to decide one here!"

Spencer smiled widely. "Thank you, Ash."

"Of course, Spencey Wencey! Now turn up that music, and let's get crackin'!" Spencer blushed and stuck her tongue out at Ashley again, then got up and turned up her speakers.

The girls had finished packing and were laying side-by-side in Spencer's bed, their hands clasped together between them. Spencer brought Ashley's hand to her mouth and pecked her knuckles, then started playing with her fingers. "I can't believe your little brother is coming on the trip now!" Spencer exclaimed.

"I know, right? It totally sucks. But apparently, they hired some nanny or something to look after him most of the time we're up there, so he won't be in the way too much."

"Oh… well that's good, I guess." Ashley's little brother was in middle school and has had a huge crush on Spencer ever since he was little. It was cute when he was younger, but now, it was just kind of gross and creepy. "Wait so, your parents hired some nanny that they don't even know, and this person will be spending the whole week with us? That doesn't sound safe."

"Yeah, apparently, she's from there and gives skiing lessons and crap, so she's offered to take him under her wing for the week."

"Huh… well that's interesting… glad you parents can just trust someone like that…"

Ashley laughed. "I think my dad knew or knows her dad or something from a band he's been on tour with before. I don't know. I don't really care as long as the little hellion stays out of the way and away from my girl."

Spencer giggled. "Your girl, huh?"

"Mhm."

"And who is this girl you speak of?"

"Oh just someone I've known for a while. We're finally trying out a relationship. She's beautiful. Blonde hair, blue eyes, nice legs… oh and she's really good at singing!"

Spencer swatted at Ashley with her free hand. "Be nice!"

Ashley looked at Spencer. "Where's the fun in that?"

Spencer leaned up on one arm and gently pecked Ashley one the corner of her mouth. "You get special rewards." Spencer winked and lay back down, watching Ashley to gauge her reaction.

Ashley stared at Spencer for a moment. She smiled and cupped Spencer's face, and Spencer place her hand on Ashley's arm, stroking it softly. They stared into each other's eyes, slowly inching closer to one another before finally meeting in a soft, sweet kiss.
