Hey all you readers if you are still reading this after it took me forever to post this chapter than I applaud you. I also really appreciate it!
But I have to say I have a very good reason. Well after the last chapter I went to Canada to do this workshop and I was there a while without my computer. One of my best friends had a baby so that was really big. Then my twin sister had a baby so yeah busy here.
Oh yeah and I have had lots of relatives come and visit to see the baby so yeah like I said really busy.
So please review I love getting them…
I don't own anything.
Okay so shower, hair, make-up…Check.
Now there's the clothes. I had already disposed of a few outfits already and I was slowly giving up hope of ever finding the perfect one.
I know it shouldn't matter what I wear because its not like I am actually Ashley's date but if there is even the slightest chance that Clay is right then I was not going to give up an opportunity to impress.
I walk over to my closet looking once again through the mass of clothes within and I see one of my old black flowing skirts. Pulling it out I slip it on and looking in the mirror I knew this was it.
Shirt….shirt….shirt?? Humm
I slip on my dark turquoise tank it fits together nicely with its lacey bottom. The outfit is almost complete I go over to my jewelry box and pull out my silver heart necklace and put it on.
Perfect.
Taking one last look in the mirror I walk into the hall and over to Glens room.
"Glen!" I yell knocking on his door.
I hear some rustling within the room and a second later the door swings open allowing Glens cologne to escape the confines of his room almost overpowering me.
"Geese Glen wearing enough cologne." I gasp waving my hand in front of my face.
"Ha ha funny okay come in here I need your help."
I walk into his room and find that just like my room clothes are thrown everywhere. It seems he was having just as much trouble deciding on what to wear as I was.
"Ok which one?" he asks holding up two dress shirt one dark maroon the other blue and white stripped.
"The red one….and hurry up because its almost 8 and they are going to be here any minute."
Just then the door bell rings.
"Okay Spencer you go answer that and if its Ashley tell her I will be there in a minute."
I nod and rush out of the room. However I'm late cause as I reach the reach the bottom of the stairs I notice Clay already opening the door and then there she is.
She looks so gorgeous with her hair down in soft curls. I take a moment to look her over and notice she is wearing a shirt and a skirt…sorry I know that's not much detail but if you were staring at what I am right now you would have trouble forming a well detailed description too.
"Hi" she says giving me a big smile and well that just makes me melt. Which then turns me into a stuttering idiot so unfortunately the only thing I am able to utter is, "Uhhaumhumm"
Of course after realizing what I just said or well I guess didn't say would be more accurate I start to blush. Now the thing with me is I am not a normal blusher when it happens it happens bad…like I turn literally red and its not a pretty site.
"Haha ohh…" she laughs. "Its nice to see you too Spencer."
Thank god Glen chooses this moment to come nosily down the stairs and I am immediately grateful cause I most likely would have continued to embarrass myself even further and I am trying to keep that to a minimum with Ashley around.
"Hey you look hot!….ready?" He asks not trying to hide the lust behind his eyes. Which just infuriates me because I hate that he can express that so openly.
"We have to wait for Spencer's date…" Ashley says gesturing to me.
"Present!" We hear just as Patrick steps over the threshold into out house. "Sorry if I'm late."
"Oh no your just on time." I give him a forced smile.
Glen decided that he would drive and after about fifteen minutes we arrive at the restaurant.
Glen had not actually mentioned where we would be going but after pulling into the local Italian restaurant I could tell that he was trying to impress. Well at least more than his other dates anyway which he usually takes to some pizza place and then hopefully back to their place. Uhh gag
But that also means he really likes her which well sucks!
We enter the restaurant and a waiter takes us to our table where I reluctantly take a seat next to Patrick in the booth.
Dinner went well with the exception of the fact that half way through Glens arm had found its way around Ashley's shoulders thereby making them closer than I would have liked.
I did however find out that Aiden was her best friend and happened to be dating her sister who also worked at the dance studio. I was pleased that I wouldn't have to compete with Aiden but that still left me with my brother. I don't know how he does it but girls swoon over him, he can be quite the charmer.
We just arrived at Gray's and the boys left to check our coats while Ashley and I went to find a table.
We found one easily and after sitting down it went silent. I didn't know what to say I mean there was a lot of things I wanted to say now that I was finally alone with her but they just wouldn't come out.
"So are you having fun?" I finally spit out smiling slightly
"Uh yeah your brothers really nice…..you?"
"Yeah I mean Patrick's nice and all but he's not really my type…"
"Yeah…." she's about to say more before Glen grabs her arm and yanks her away from the table. "Lets dance!"
"Oh okay." she gasps while being dragged away.
Then I see Patrick walk up to the table and he takes a seat next to me.
"Hey! I'm really having fun thanks for inviting me I wasn't sure if I would ever get to see you after this afternoon."
"Yeah no problem I'm having a great time too…" he starts speaking again and my eyes glance over to the dance floor. I see Glen and Ashley dancing and at first all I notice is her and the way her body moves so perfectly to the beat. Then I notice the hand that snakes its way around her back pulling her closer and to say I was jealous is a bit of an understatement.
I keep staring until someone steps in front of me blocking my view. Looking up its Patrick so absorbed in the staring and the jealousness that I missed the part where he asked me to dance. I take his hand and he leads me over to where Glen and Ashley are.
Patrick and I start dancing and I purposefully put distance between us but soon enough his not so subtle inching puts him right up against me.
He's a fairly good dancer which is nice cause don't you hate it when you go dancing and the person who comes to dance with you is not a good as you are. You send the whole time trying to adjust so that they don't have such a hard time following. Which in turn makes you look like a bad dancer….its just annoying.
I turn around so that my back is up against him and I now have a clear view of Ashley. She's in the same position as I am her back to his front and she seems to be having a good time.
She looks up at me and smiles which immediately makes me smile. Then she does something a little unexpected she grabs Glens hands which look to be permanently glued to her hips and removes them and walks over to me grabbing my hand pulling me out of Patrick's hands and into hers.
I'm a little surprised but not disappointed as we start to dance. Her hands move down to my hips and our bodies move in sync to each others and the music.
Her skin is incredibly smooth and the more we dance the closer we get. I can feel her heavy breathing against my neck and it gives me shivers that run down the length of my body and I inwardly wonder if she can feel it too.
I feel Patrick come up behind me again however this time it does not bug me one bit.
My stomach starts to flutter and my body starts to get warmer. Which the fact that there are two very warm bodies pressed up against me on both sides probably doesn't help.
The song ends and Glen suggests we take a break and get some drinks. Patrick immediately agrees and Ashley and I shortly follow.
We walk up to the bar and order 4 waters. Taking a sip of ice cold water when you are dying of heat is heaven. Its like an immediate relief that never ceases to satisfy you whenever it happens.
We all sit down at the table in an attempt to escape the madness of colliding bodies.
"Its so hot! Like I am literally dripping" Glen says while wiping the sweat from his forehead and gulping down some more water.
"Yeah hot!" I agree fanning my face.
"Yes hot…" I hear Ashley say and when I look over we lock eyes and with a small wink she looks away.
What was that?
Shaking it off I redirect my attention back to the group where Glen and Patrick were in a heated debate over who's football team was better.
I cant say that this discussion interested me at all so I spent the whole time admiring Ashley who surprisingly was just as into the conversation as the boys were.
I noticed that whenever she smiled her nose crinkled up which was the most adorable thing and her foot was constantly tapping to the beat of the music.
"Hey Spencer!" I hear Ashley yell my name.
"Yeah…yeah?"
"Okay who's right me or him?" she says pointing to Glen.'
"Uh…You"
"See I told you! I am so right."
"Oh come on she doesn't even know what were talking about….thanks for the sibling loyalty Spence." Glen complains.
"Sibling Loyalty? Was it sibling loyalty when you rated me out to mom dad the first time I ever snuck out? Or when you told the entire 8th grade that I still slept with I blankie? If that's what sibling loyalty is than I think I followed you guide lines exactly."
That shut him right up and also earned laughs from Patrick and Ashley.
"Spence….You slept with a blankie till 8th grade?" Ashley asks bursting out with laughter.
"Ahh shut up that's besides the point I was trying to prove a point…"
"Oh you did you just bashed yourself a little on the way." She says smiling at me.
An unknown boy walks up to our table and looks at Ashley, "Hey Ash!"
"Oh hey Connor what's up?"
"Hey so in a sec…." right then the DJ cuts the music, "Hey people! Now I hope your all having a good time…" that earns a scream from the crowd. "Now it has come to my attention that Ashley Davies is in the house now if you all make some noise maybe we can get her up here to show us some moves."
The club erupts in screams and I immediately turn my head back to Ashley who surprisingly looks quite calm.
The boy just looks over at Ashley excitedly and after a moment she speaks, "Excuse me for a moment." she tells us while taking the boy Connor's hand and rising from the table.
"Yeah yeah yeah there she is now everyone make some room!" the DJ yells again.
When Ashley and Connor reach the front they are joined but another boy who hugs Ashley and slaps hands with Connor.
Everyone starts to crowd around making a huge circle and I quickly get up to do the same with the boys close behind. I push my way to the front just as the music starts. It's some popular rap song that I forgot the name to.
They start dancing and I am immediately impressed its not anything like I saw her do this morning in class this is strictly hip-hop. At the beginning its choreographed but then it heads into more freestyle. The boys are very good but Ashley blows them out of the water with her tight moves. I watch in awe as they finish and everyone starts to clap. However I am still just standing there gazing at her.
She thanks the audience with a hand wave and walks toward me. When she is about a foot in front of me I think she's going to stop but she doesn't she leans right in and puts her mouth up to my ear.
"I also teach hip-hop…" she pulls away and smiles while pushing my jaw up so my mouth is no longer hanging open. I start to blush and she gives a quick laugh and walks past me over to Glen and Patrick. They all walk back to the table and I follow hearing the guys complimenting her on how good she was.
Which she was…I don't know about you guys but there's just something about a person that can dance that makes them that much hotter.
We only stayed there a little while longer for we all realized it was getting late and we better get home.
The drive home was okay but all I could think about was I hope that Patrick doesn't try to kiss me. But an even stronger thought was I really hope Glen doesn't kiss Ashley.
Just the thought of the second one made me feel ill and kissing Patrick wouldn't be that big of a deal but I still wanted to avoid it on all cost if possible.
We pull up to the house and I quickly get out but unfortunately Patrick is just a quick as I am and I notice him walk around the car to my side.
"Will you walk me to my car?" he asks I really don't want to say yes but I do anyway.
"Yeah sure." I follow him to his car meanwhile keeping my eyes on Ashley and Glen who have followed our lead and he is walking her to her car.
"So I had a great time tonight….""Yeah me too"
"I'd really like to go out with you again soon maybe alone next time." he laughs trying to sound casual.
"Yeah sure" I say faking interest my eyes wandering over to Ashley again.
I notice him lean in and when I look back at him he pants a kiss right on my lips. A little surprised I let him kiss me for a few seconds and then pull away bringing him in for a hug.
That's when I see it Glen going in for the kiss.
No No No…
He leans down and right as he's about to make contact she cheeks him. She turns her head and all he gets is cheek…YES!
I'm a little surprised at this and so is my brother it seems cause he just pulls away looking quite embarrassed. She says something and waves at him while getting in her car.
He retreats to the house and I watch as Patrick gets into his car and leaves. I turn around to do the same and I notice that Ashley has not yet left she is sitting in her car.
I walk over to her car and she rolled down the window.
"Hey your still here!" I commented inwardly happy.
"Yeah I just didn't get a chance to say goodbye…"
"Oh well goodbye." I say smiling
"Bye…see you on Wednesday." she winks at me then rolls up her window.
I stand there and watch her drive off thinking of basically just her and how glad I am that she didn't kiss Glen. This got me thinking again of what Clay had said and for the first time I started to believe it. I believed that maybe I might actually have a chance.
I let my mind entertain that thought as I walked into the house and up to my room.
It had been an extremely long day I was exhausted. So I quickly brushed my teeth and changed into my pj's and climbed into bed immediately drifting off to sleep.
Also I would love to thank Spashley89 for the long review again…and I want to apologize to you directly because I know that you really loved this story and I again am very sorry for taking so long!
I hope I didn't disappoint you or anyone with this update.
Also I would love to hear what you all want to happen at the next dance class.
I will get the next one out as soon as possible I already have the idea in my head.
Ok thanks for reading now go review! :)
