Author's note: In the last chapter I messed up on this part… "I love you honesty. It's refreshing and kind of encouraging." Spencer was actually supposed to be saying "I love it, honestly. It's refreshing and kind of encouraging." Sorry. I reread it after I posted it and was like…. WHAT? Lol, sorry.

Rise Above All
Chapter 3
Spencer's POV
Basketball try out are tomorrow. I'm so nerves. I keep trying not to think about it but I can't help it. Ashley and I have been practicing together. She is really great at basketball. She hardly misses a shot especially after she gets warmed up. She has taught me a few things. I have taught her something's. We are really helping one another out.
"Hey! Buddy boo?" Ashley says walking into my room. I smile at the new nickname.
"Buddy boo?" I look up at her never letting me smile leave me face.
"You don't like it?" Ashley asks pouting. I giggle at her. I pat the bed next to me. She walks the couple steps to my bed and seats down. "Are you thinking about tomorrow?" I nod my head and give her a fake smile. "You know, I liked the cocky woman better. What happened to her? The girl you were when we first met. The girl who told me and I quote 'I can take you' unquote. The girl who never backed down ever after I kicked her ass."
"You only bet me because you cheated." I tell her stopping her rant.
"Oh please. It's not my fault you are so attracted to me." She says giggling. God her giggle is just too cute.
Flashback
"Come on, loser." I tell her with a smile. Ashley is standing at the three point line dribbling the ball. She is down by a shot. She starts walking closer to me and I grab my basketball shorts and pull them up a little bending me knees. I extend my arms out and wait for her to continue her journey. She stops at the free throw line and shots the ball. I jump into the air trying to block the shot. I turn and watch the ball drop into the net.
"Who's the loser now?" Ashley asks sticking her tongue out at me. I grab the ball and throw it to her. The score is now 9, 9.
"We are tied. I sure the hell ain't losing, loser. Last point wins" I tell her checking the ball with her. I plant myself at the free throw line so she can't try and pull the same move. She is again standing at the three point line. I'm ready for her to come at me. Ashley drops the ball to the ground and pulls her practice jersey over her head. Now she stands in front of me with just her sports bra on. I lift my eyes from her shirt on the ground, slowly running my eyes up her body. I stop my eyes at her stomach. It looks so soft, so toned, so sexy. God, this girl is beautiful. I slowly bring my eyes higher. I'm mesmerized by her beauty and the sexiness of her body. God, what I would give to run my tong…
"Now, who's the loser?" Ashley asks. I bring my eyes up to hers. I didn't realize she shot the ball.
"You cause you're a damn cheater. I would have had you and you know it, that's why you pulled what you did. You're a cheater and a loser. Poor sport." I tell her grabbing the ball. "And put your shirt back on, those people are staring."I tell her grabbing her shirt and throwing at her. Ashley looks around and sees a few guys and a couple girls staring at her, checking her out.
"Jealous?" Ashley asks pulling her shirt over her head.
"Of Who? Those people checking you out? Why would I be jealous? You took your shirt off for me. I have no doubt I won't be able to do it again. Maybe next time I'll be the one taking it off for you." I tell her with a smirk and walk away leaving the beautiful brunette speechless.
End of Flashback
That was a good day. Ashley didn't say anything to me the whole walk back from the park. We spend a lot of time at that park and it's weird because Ashley has a basketball court in her yard. She said she has been trying to talk her father into building her an indoor one. He told her he will if she wins the state championship two years in a row. This year will be year number two. She is happy. She is hoping for the crown again.
"Well, don't be so damn sexy and I won't be attracted to you. You saying that to me is like telling a mosquito to stay away from the light. It's not going to happen." I say standing up from my bed.
"I'll just get fat." Ashley tries to say seriously. I laugh at her.
"Babe, you'd die first before you let that ever happen. You like all the attention your body gives you. Especially, the attention I give you for it."
"See I got her back. The cocky girl is back." She yells in victory, jumping up from my bed and throwing her arms in the air. I laugh at her silly antics and shake my head. "Admit it. You love me for being able to take your mind off of the try outs." I smile at her choice of words. Love is such a strong word. We have been handing out every day for the past two months. There really has not been a day that goes by that we don't hang out. On most weekdays I help Ashley with her homework. She may be a junior but does not pay attention in class. She is Glenn. She once told me flirting with the girls around her or making jokes with her buddy Aiden is more exciting. Aiden had a major crush on me until I busted his bubble and told him I was into chicks. Ashley said he whined to her for a couple weeks before she finally told him to shut the fuck up and find another chick to fawn all over. Aiden didn't waste no time at all finding another girl. Ashley and I laugh at him. He is such a guy.
"Well, what can I say? You just have that much power over me." I tell her not really knowing what to say. Ashley knows I like her. I know she likes me. Why we don't cross that line is beyond me. We've came close to it a few times and we've made out at a couple party but nothing came of it. We act like we don't remember but I know she does and I know I do. How could I forget? Her lips are so soft. They move with mine perfectly. She is such an amazing kisser. The kiss made my knees go weak. Actually, I do know why I'm scared to go further. It's because I still haven't told her I am a virgin. Ashley is extremely experienced in the women department. I on the other hand have none, none at all. It scares me that we will go there and I run away because I have no fucking clue what I'm doing.
"I know I do. I'm Ashley Davies after all." Ashley says the cockiness lining her voice.
"Who's Ashley Davies?" I ask looking at her with my best 'what are you talking about' look.
"You know your best friend. Your partner in crime. Your right hand…"
"I don't think you want to be my right hand." I laugh at the look on her face. She is looking at me like I grew two heads and one of them is about to eat her. And not in the way she wants it too. After a couple minutes Ashley still says nothing else. I smile at myself for again making her speechless. I'm good at it. "Are you going to talk or just stare at me the rest of the day?"
"Maybe tomorrow." Ashley says dropping her eyes to the white carpeted floor below our feet.
"Huh?" I'm confused. "What the hell are you talking about?" I add raising my eyebrow at her. Ashley giggles bring her eyes back up to meet mine.
"I have no idea." Ashley says still giggling. I smile at her words and set back down next to her. "I'm tired." Ashley says lying back on my bed.
"Tired or sleepy?" I ask, following her actions. I put my hands under my head and turn to look at her.
"Both. Maybe." I smile at her. She is so cute when she is clueless. "Why do you have to be so technical?" Ashley adds with a glare.
"I just want to know if you need more sleep or if you just want to be lazy." I tell her. "You wouldn't be so tired or sleepy if you would stop calling me and staying on the phone all night."
"Do you want me to stop calling?" Ashley is pouting again. My smile spreads across her face. I turn my head and stare up at the ceiling. "Is that a yes?" Ashley asks rolling over into my space. She hovers over the top of me, looking into my eyes. She is trying to read me. All I can do is stare back. I hope she is reading everything I am trying to tell her. She sighs and looks down. I move my hands from under my head and to her face. I place my hand under her chin and slowly guiding her to look back at me. I smile at her once our eyes meet again. Her brown orbs are darker than usual. Her eyes are her best feature. I love her eyes. I can get lost in them forever and not care one bit. When I look into her eyes, I feel like we are the only two people in the world. There is nothing else on this planet that means anything to mean when I am looking into her eyes.
"No, I don't." I say still looking into her eyes. "I don't want you to stop calling me." I add bringing a smile to her face.
"I knew you loved me." Ashley giggles and rolls back into her previous position. I place my hands back under my hand and look at the side of her face. The way the sun is shining in through the window is making her look breathe taking, which causes butterflies to erupt in my stomach. I am never going to be able to keep these feeling under control. My feelings for this girl grow with each passing minute we spend together and we spend a lot of minutes together. If she is not with me, we are on the phone. If we are not on the phone for some reason we are texting one another. I have to leave my phone in my room when we have dinner or my mom will take it from me. Last week at dinner was my last warning. My mom told me next time she will take it for a week. I leave it in my room now. I think I would die without my phone. Now I would since it's the only thing I do when I'm not with this beautiful brunette.
"You want to watch a movie?" I ask pulling her from her thoughts. Ashley smiles over at me and crawls up onto my bed, lying her head down on my pillow. I put in a movie and lay down next to her. Tomorrow is going to be a good day. I can feel it. At least I hope it is.
