A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed so far! Keep them coming!

Previously On Three's Company…

I smiled as I watched her seductively lick the ice cream as it melted over the sides of her cone. God that tongue looked like it could do wonders.

"So I overheard a couple of guys on the team having this argument the other day. They were arguing over whether all girls were bisexual, or at least bicurious. And so I've been thinking about it, but I wanted to get your input first. What do you think Ashley?"

"I'm not sure. I think it's different for everyone. Some people are curious, but others are really set in their ways. Personally, the thought of being with a guy kinda makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth, but it wasn't always that way. I dated guys in high school."

"So it sounds likes from personal experience, you're kind of leaning more towards 'yes, every girl is at least bicurious'…"

"I guess you could say that. So what was your conclusion?"

"Oh, I definitely think all girls are bicurious and possibly bisexual."

The accompanying grin on her face was pretty hot.

"Well, shall we?" she asked as she stood up and nodded towards campus.

"Yes, we shall!" I answered as I stood and threw out my cup.

As I enter my room and throw down my purse I hear the da-ding on my phone telling me that I have a new text message.

It's from Spencer.

"Wanna Skype?"

"Alright." I respond via text as I turn my laptop on and wait for it to boot up.

Hmm, so Carmen says that every girl is bisexual or at least bicurious. Let's see, which girl would have the best chance of being that lucky lady? Well I am her best friend on the team…

I'm snapped out of my thought process by the familiar ringing of a Skype video call.

I click "Answer with Video" and in seconds Spencer's face appears on my screen.

"Hey Ash!"

"Hey Spence, how's it going?"

"Alright. It's my first day back though and I already have homework."

"Sucks to be smart. All I had to do tonight was some work on the dance floor."

"Ah, did you guys have your usual back to school party at the track house?"

"Yea."

"So how's Carmen?" Spencer asked with a smirk.

"She's good."

"Yeah? Like a tanned up, single, and ready for action kind of good?"

"That's none of your business."

"Harsh Ash. I was just making friendly banter. You don't have to get so defensive over your little straight girl crush."

"Spencer, what did you call for?"

"To talk."

"About what?"

"I don't know, I just figured you might wanna talk."

"Well I don't. I'm pretty tired and I have an early practice tomorrow morning. So if you don't mind, I think I'm gonna go to bed now."

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry Ash. I was just joking around with you. Just talk to me for a few minutes and then I'll leave you alone and you can go to bed. I'll be nicer, I promise."

With a deep sigh I responded, "ok."

"So you're living in a different dorm this year right?"

"Yeah."

"Show me!"

I unplugged my laptop from its charger and proceeded to walk Skype Spencer around my tiny room. The tour ended with an underly-enthusiastic "ta-da."

"Wait, go back to your desk one more time."

I obeyed and showed Spencer my desk wondering what she was so interested in, but then it hit me.

"Ashley, is that the picture I drew for you our senior year of high school?"

I glanced over at the frame on my desk which contained a giant heart, the names "Spencer and Ashley" in graffiti lettering and dozens of love quotes scattered in the background, all in Spencer's handwriting.

A smile seeped onto my face. "Yeah," I responded, somewhat embarrassed as I made a conscious effort to rid myself of the facial expression.

"I just really like it ok?"

"Yeah, it's fine. I was just wondering if that's what it was. Sorry."

"Alright, well like I said, I have early practice tomorrow. So I'll talk to you later. Goodbye."

"Bye."

I hit the "End Call" button and slunk back into my chair. Seeing Spencer, talking to her, it always confuses me. One minute I think I'm completely over her, I'm ready to move on and then somehow she manages to snake her way back into my life and my heart. It's just…after all we've been through together and especially after the chat we had this summer about her and Aiden…

"Are you sure Aiden is what you want?"

"Right now, yes."

"What do you mean 'right now, yes'?"

"I just mean that it may not always be that way, but right now I want to date Aiden."

"I see what's going on here."

"What?"

"You're just with Aiden right now because it's easier for you. You don't have to deal with the issues involved with a long distance relationship and he's a guy so he puts out without any of the emotional stuff which is great for you since you have such issues letting people in and trusting them!"

"That is SO not how it is."

"Really? Look me in the eyes Spencer. Look me in the eyes, and tell me that you don't love me, that you're not still in love with me and I'll walk away and you can be with him or whoever else you damn well please!"

She teared up at this.

"I can't," she managed to blurt out in between sniffles.

"Can't what Spencer?"

"I can't be with you again right now. I can't go through what you put me through freshmen year all over again. We fought… so much. And you really hurt me."

"I know and I'm really sorry. I've changed though and I can promise you that that won't ever happen again."

"I love you Ashley I really do, I'm just not ready to date you again."

"Ok, I understand. If you're going to keep hooking up with me though, could you at least consider dumping Aiden? I don't like feeling like I'm helping you cheat on him. It's not right."

"I know. I'm not gonna dump him though Ash. He was there for me when I really needed him and I really do love him too. I just… I really like the way things are with me and Aiden right now and I don't wanna change them."

"So where does that leave us?"

"I don't know Ashley! You're my best friend. I love you. That's all I know right now."

After that conversation this summer, I started to feel like Aiden was just a figure-head, just someone who was in the right place at the right time and who did nothing to make her want to hurt him now. After talking to Spencer though, I just felt like she didn't have the same passion in her relationship with Aiden that we do in ours.

In the entire 2.5 years that we dated, she never once cheated on me. It never even came up. She was addicted to me and me to her, but she's not like that with him. She wants me now, just as much as I want her. More often than not, I'm the one who has to remind her that she has a boyfriend. Figure-head or not, I still don't really feel comfortable having her kissing me while she's dating him.

I love her. I never stopped loving her, but she seems pretty dead-set on keeping Aiden around as her boyfriend.

It's times like these that I am beyond grateful to have Carmen in my life…
