Chapter 3
Ashley's POV
It's been a few weeks since I decided to tell spencer and jess. The thing is though, I haven't said anything. I'm getting more nervous about telling them the longer I wait. I've been hanging out with Spence non-stop and the more I do the more I realize Ky's right I never really got over Spence. I mean it has been only like two and half years since we were together, and I knew back then I was in love with Spence. But then she moved and we didn't do a very good job at keeping in contact.
I'm brought out of my thoughts by Spence yelling from her room telling me to "stop pacing or I'm going to put a whole in her floor". Oh did I forget to mention I'm at Spencer's, yeah well we're going back to Art's. When Spence emerges from her room she asks me
"How do I look ash?" and my only reply is to gulp she has a low cut V-neck shirt on that shows just enough cleavage to leave it to the imagination with a short jean skirt that shows off her very toned and tanned legs that look like they go on forever…I think I may be drooling. Spencer's laughing..
"I'll take that as I look HOT!"…"Let's go ash" she says as she closes my jaw with her fingers. I didn't even know my mouth was open. Gee what this girl does to me. We walk out of her apartment arm in arm heading to Art's.
When Spence and I get there we head straight to the bar to order our drinks. While waiting for our drinks some brunette walks up to Spencer.
"Hey sexy wanna dance?" She asks Spencer looks at me and I show no emotion because I don't want her to know I'm jealous. She frowns out my lack of emotion and walk with the brunette to the dance floor. They start dancing to this upbeat song and I'm watching Spencer, she's grinding seductively with the brunette. She looks over at me and our eyes lock. She's trying to tell me something we her eyes but I don't know what it is.
….
I think I'm on my 6th drink and I feel totally plastered. Spencer's been dancing with that pretty brunette all night. I'm feeling very jealous how she's running her hands all over Spencer's body. Those should be my hands. That's it I can't take it anymore I get up a bit shaky and stumble my way over to Spence. I tap the brunette's shoulder and she looks at me
"Can I cut in?" I slurr while giving her a hard glare. Well the best I can while drunk. She brunette looks at Spence and walks away. I bring Spencer to me by grabbing her hips. We are so close I can smell her perfume it's Vanilla. Yum. I lay my head in her neck, it looks so kissable so that's exactly what I do. When I do I hear Spence gasp but she doesn't push me away so keep kissing her neck. And no, no I am too drunk to think about what all this means. I just know I like being in her arms. I'm feeling sleepy so I hold Spence a little tighter.
Spencer's POV
Ashley's kissing my neck and I'm trying to hold back a moan. Her lips feel so good on my skin. The kisses are getting a little sloppier I think the alcohol is getting to her. When that happens it means she's sleepy. I wrap her arms around my shoulders and we walk out of Art's and head towards my apartment. We're walking in to the apartment when ashley's phone starts going off. She mumbles in my ear to make the noise stop. So I dig in her jacket pocket for her phone. Aw look it's Jess calling. (Btw that was sarcasm) I really don't like her she's always calling ash to complain; about what I don't know, I don't ask. It always makes ashley sad though. I Can tell when she gets off the phone. But I answer the phone you never know it could be important.
"Hello?" I say into the phone while laying ash on the bed.
"….Spencer! What the hell are doing answering ashley's phone? Where is she?"
"She's right here but she's passed out I don't know how many drinks she had while we were out."
"Well bring her home I'll take care of her."
"I would but I'm already home so I'll just have ash call you back. Okay?"
"Whatever." Click. Ugh I can't stand her. I look over at ashley she's laying there looking at me, well she's trying to but her eyes keep closing.
"Ash here's some pj's why don't you change." She just sits up and starts to take her top off I don't turn away until her shirts off. I mean I so shouldn't be oogling her she's drunk. I turn back around when I hear the rustling of my comforter, and walk over to the dresser to get me some pj's a t-shirt and AE boxers. They are so comfy. Then I crawl into bed, and ashley snuggles into my side laying her head on my chest. I look down at her she's beautiful, she looks up catching me staring at her. I'm paralyzed by the look she's giving me, it's a look of pure unconditional love she looked at me that way when we were together.
"I love and I want you Spency…" she trails off closing her eyes, breathing evening out into small light purrs.
….
….I so don't know what to think I mean I love her too and here's a fleeting thought she hasn't called me spency since we were together. I wonder if she knows what she said, if she'll remember in the morning. And this is what I think about until I drift off to sleep in the warmth and security ash always brings me.
Ashley's POV
I wake up in Spencer's arms and smile because this is where I want to be always. She looks so cute with her lips barley parted breathing in and out. Spencer's mumbling something in her sleep OMGeee she is so adorable.
"Ash-ash…I love you….always baby always…" she says smiling. But me on the other hand yes I am too smiling but I am totally speechless. See maybe this means she loves me like the me I am today. God I hope she does. She's moving a little, I look down at her because I have sat up. She's laying her head in my lap hugging my legs it's so cute.
"Ash stop staring at me it's creepy it's always been creepy." She says and I know I've been caught. But I don't say anything.
"Ash I so don't want to dampen your mood but Jess could your phone last night and she wants you to call her asap." She said with a hint of annoyance. I so don't want to call her back but I know I need too she doesn't like Spence very much.
"Okay let me up.." I sigh out. She moves over "Ash I'm gonna go take a shower, give you some privacy she didn't sound to happy last night." She says walking into the hall. I grab my phone from my jacket laying on the dresser.
"Finally ash! Where are you we have an appointment in 20 minutes with the floral shop."
Oh snap! "Okay Jess I'm on my way I can't believe I forgot." I rush out while shutting my phone and yelling to Spence that I'm borrowing some of her clothes. When I'm done getting dressed Spence is still in the shower so I knock on the door open it a crack being totally tempted to look inside but don't and tell her that I got to run and I'll call her later. She yell's a OK and I'm out.
….
When I get to the floral shop Jess is waiting for me. She does not look happy either.
"Sorry I'm late let's go in" I say as I try to kiss her check, but she sighs and moves away.
"Ash I rescheduled the appointment. "Pause "What's happening to us ash we barley see each other these days.."
"Jess can talk at home? I don't want to do this here.." I sigh out. She looks hurt and I think she knows what about to happen. She sighs but doesn't say anything. And we walk back to our apartment in silence. I don't know what or how I'm going to tell her but I know I need to now.
….
"Let's sit on the couch." I say to Jess and she sits down.
"I don't…" She cuts me off
"I cheated on you!" What?
"What?" I whisper out. I'm shocked I never thought she would.
"I c..cheated on you ash about a week ago. I just don't think we're meant to be maybe,… maybe we shouldn't get married." She says looking only slightly guilty.
"I.. I agree…I'm just gonna go I'll come by tomorrow and get my stuff." I say while taking off my engagement ring and setting it on the kitchen counter as I walk out. I think I'm numb. I'm walking around not sure where I should go, when I walk into someone. When I go to apologies I see its Spencer.
"Ash what's wrong why are you crying?"
