It had already been more than an hour, what were they doing?!
Spencer was pacing around the house, cleaning a thing or two while she was at it, anything to keep herself busy. She was once again walking into the living room to ask Glen.
"You really have no idea about when they will come home?"
"For the hundred time no. No! You distracted me and your wife took advantage of it!"
The blond was amazed to see how her brother was in awe not an hour ago and was at the moment annoyed by the rock star.
"No! You can't beat me at Halo!"
"Ha! Die again! I'm the Halo Queen"
Glen got up and threw his remote on the couch. "Let's try another game"
"What else do you have? And no more Call of duty"
"Guitar Hero?"
Ahsley raised an eyebrow "I'm going to make you cry like a little girl"
"Glen, you do realize she plays guitar for a living"
"No, she sings for a living and…it's very different on a video game"
Ashley was a little offended by that "I'm not just a singer!"
"Sure, sure, you are hot too"
The brunette got up too, started to walk towards him but was stopped when Spencer grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Let it go, he is only riling you up because he is a sore loser and hopes it will destabilize you"
Ashley realized she was pretty close to her wife at the moment, she smirked as moved even closer, the blonde barely had time to gulp before she was grabbed by the neck and pulled down in a kiss. She couldn't help but respond, putting her hands on Ashley's waist and pulling her against her body.
Spencer pulled back as soon as she heard a noise, Glen had dropped a game box, he was a little pale, so his sister had to ask.
"Glen are you okay?"
"This is a nightmare. It would be so hot if it wasn't you"
Ashley still buzzing from the kiss let out "Believe me, this is definitely hot with her"
The young man made a face "Ewww, that's my sister!"
The brunette smirked ready to speak again but was cut short by her wife "What about your sister Ash, ever walked on her with a guy?"
It was her time to lose some color, Ashley sat down "I was just messing with him"
"There will be no talk of that kind with my family, ever. Get your pervy self in line"
They exchanged a look, before Ashley sighed, turning her head toward the tv, a weight settled on the singer's stomach, a fear that maybe Spencer wasn't just talking about what she said, but about what she did too. And why the hell was she sacred about that anyway?!
She frowned.
Spencer sighed too before she sat down next to Ashley, she raised her hand to touch the other girl.
"Stop, you can't stand so close for a while. I don't want to be traumatized and… more importantly. Ashley has a sister? Is she single?"
He avoided a pillow "What?"
"My sister has a boyfriend, and she is off limit"
He was receiving an evil glare, it made him laugh. "You've got to work on that. Spencer's mean look is way scarier than that"
"What?! No way!" Ashley turned to her blonde "Tell him!"
Spencer just smiled at her, so Ashley spoke again "Don't look at me like I'm cute, tell him I'm scary"
"Oh so scary" But the blonde's tone was very sarcastic.
Before her wife started again Spencer got up "I'm going to order pizza, you all want some?"
She didn't wait for a reply and walked away. This was going to be long.
Twenty minutes later Spencer open to front door ready to pay for her pizza and came face to face with someone unexpected, for the second time…
"Mom! Why did you ring the bell?!"
"Your father has the keys"
"Where is he?"
"He went to help Mrs Johnson, she had trouble with her groceries"
Spencer was squirming, she couldn't run, nor yell at Ahley to hide. She was screwed.
Her mother was frowning as she removed her coat. "I told your brother so many times not to play video games with the sound so high"
She made a move to go in the living room, Spencer got right in front of her.
"It's okay. It's guitar hero, it's better when the music is loud" Or so they had told her.
Paula was going to comment on that but stopped when she heard her son yell "That's not fair! No more playing your own songs!"
Another voice was heard, female voice, but not loud enough to understand what she was saying.
"Someone is here with your bother? Glen?!"
Deafening silence in less than a second. Spencer could feel sweat running down her back.
Glen came running alone, sliding a little on his sock before stopping. "Hey mom. We didn't expect you so soon?"
"I guessed as much. Who is in the living room? If it's your girlfriend, I'm not impressed, not even coming here to greet your parents"
Spencer clenched her jaws, she had to make this announcement as she was calm. Glen on the other hand could speak anytime.
"Actually no. But guess what Spencer brought home from Vegas?!"
An expression of disgust appeared on their mother's face as she spoke in a disapproving tone "I can…respect that you are…that you feel attracted to women at the moment…"
"I'm gay mom! Gay! You can at least say it, and for the last time it's not a phase!"
"Well I had hoped after what happened…"
Spencer was repeating her usual mantra when it came to her mother "Stay calm. Stay calm. Deep breaths…" She couldn't believe she was bringing that up, as if abusing boyfriends didn't exist too.
"And a girl from Vegas. I at least expected you to have better tastes, but once again you disa…"
She stopped when someone cleared their throat. Paula turned to look at someone familiar.
Spencer stepped in, going to Ashley, she grabbed her hand, more for herself than anything else.
"Mom, I'd like you to meet my wife. Ashley Davies"
Paula was speechless, mouth hanging open.
The singer smiled and in a sweet voice said: "Ashley Davies Carlin. Nice to meet you"
Paula didn't move until her husband got in, carrying pizza boxes.
"I just paid for some pizzas, who ord…?" He stopped when he turned around and faced an unexpected situation. Spencer was holding hands with Ashley Davies. Glen looked like he was having a blast so of course Paula looked as if she was going to explode.
He said the first thing in his mind that was safe. "Anyone hungry?"
"That's all you have to say! Our daughter got married in secret with another woman and you just…"
"You got married Spencer?"
Glen grabbed a box, started eating a slice while still holding it and watching the show. His sister was squirming under their father's gaze.
"I…we…" It was so hard to lie about it to her father. She turned her head towards Ashley as she felt her squeeze her hand.
"It's all my fault Mr. C. I couldn't wait anymore, we were in Vegas so…here we are"
"I always thought I would walk you down the aisle"
"I'm sorry dad" She meant it in more way than one, she looked down letting her blond hair hide her face so she was surprised when she felt him wrap his arms around her.
"It's okay" He took a step back again, looking at the brunette this time, holding out his hand. "I'm Arthur Carlin, nice to meet you"
She grabbed it with a big smile on her face.
"Ashley Davies, so very nice to meet you. She told me so much about her parents"
Ashley was definitely a better actress than what Spencer thought, but her smile dropped instantly at what her father said next.
"So what are your intentions regarding my daughter?" The singer gulped, she couldn't get back her hand.
"I…we…are married" Ashley didn't know what he wanted her to say and Spencer was having some fun at her expense, she could feel her smile.
"I know you have a…special way of life being a musician and all. I hope you are going to protect her from…everything"
"Of course I will"
They looked at each other in the eyes for a second before he let go of her hand.
"Good, I'm just Glen already did her big brother threatening speech so I'll stop here. Pizza?"
Spencer snorted, before commenting "More like the perv speech"
He pushed her shoulder, she pushed back. They were glaring at one another but were interrupted before they could go any further. "Kids!"
The two of them said "sorry" at the same time, and Ashley snickered.
Arthur grabbed the pizza box from Glen's hands. "Let's eat before Glen eats it all"
"There are three pizzas!"
"Like that ever stopped you before" Was all Spencer said as she walked towards the living room, Ashley in tow, who whispered to her. "What about your mother?"
The blond looked back at the woman who was frozen in front of the door. "Accept that minute of peace for what it is"
It was said in such a manner that Ashley couldn't do anything else but nod.
They sat down, each grabbing a slice before they heard Paula's voice but not what she was saying then a door slammed.
In between bites Ashley had to ask. "Should I fear for my life?"
"Of course not Ash!"
She couldn't help but not really trust what her new wife was saying. Glen saw it. "Just try not be all alone in the house with her"
A door slammed again and she jumped. Arthur smiled "So Ashley I heard you have a new album"
"Yes, although it's a little complicated now"
Glen laughed "Complicated is one way of putting it. So Spence are you going to move in with Ashley?"
Spencer froze mid bite. "Ah…we…didn't really talked about that yet. Ashley will go on a tour for her new album, and I didn't finish college yet"
"But you decided to get married" She hit her brother with her foot under the table.
"It was a spur of the moment kind of thing!"
"Right. Then why does your brand new wife wear an engagement ring with her wedding ring? Although I'm not surprised that you would be the guy in this relationship"
She hit the leg of his chair, he had moved, damn it hurt. She winced, he laughed.
Arthur was going to step in again when Ashley spoke.
"Actually…"
"I'm not the guy! There is no guy!" Exclaimed Spencer.
"Not that! About the moving in part, I was hoping… I… could hide here for a little while. You're still on vacation and my place is surrounded by photographs"
The three Carlins were staring at her.
Spencer asked very slowly "Are you sure you want to stay here? Here? With my pervy brother and…" There could her a loud clang, so the blond made a hand gesture in that direction. "My lovely mother?"
Before she could reply Glen said "If you stay here she will kill you. In your sleep if she has to"
"I'm taking my chances"
"You are crazy"
"Obviously Glen you never had to put up with the paparazzi"
"Obviously you never had to put up with my mom"
"She can't be that bad?"
This time Spencer replied "You have no idea"
"Children, please. Ashley you can stay as long as you want to"
The singer smiled and nodded "Thank you"
"And it will be a great opportunity for us to get to know you"
"Awesome" Was all Spencer said leaning in her seat.
On that Ashley got up and excused herself to go to the toilet.
Once she was gone Glen turned to his sister "I bet you 200 buck that she won't stand to stay here more than three days"
"You're so on!"
Arthur smiled at his children's antics, shaking his head from side to side.
It didn't take long for her to find out how bad Paula Carlin could be.
Ashley was washing her hands when she started to hear voices, pretty sure she wasn't crazy she cracked the door open. There was a shouting match.
She walked back to the living room, the voices were getting louder.
"I can't believe you're willing to let her stay here!"
"We all need to calm down. And Glen stop antagonizing your sister"
Ashley was now in the doorway, watching the Carlin family argue, no one had seen her yet.
"I cannot stay calm. This is wrong. Spencer experimenting is one thing, but obviously I allowed it to go too far. She will not stay here"
"How many times do I have to say it?! I'm gay! This is not a phase! And 'allow" are you kidding me?!"
"Yes allow, we should have put a stop to it when you started messing around with that Rachel girl. And then you didn't even see that it was wrong when it was hitting you…"
"Paula!" Interrupted her husband.
"This has gone too far. How can you be okay with it?!" Questioned Paula.
"That's right. You have gone too far. We can and we will help them"
"So what I have to say doesn't matter?"
"It matters, but you're are not being reasonable"
"I'm not being reasonable! Don't you remember? We said no girlfriend were allowed to stay here, in their room! And all of a sudden you're welcoming a girl she brought home from Vegas"
The singer was offended, it sounded like she was a stripper or some kind of hooker.
The Carlins got silent as she walked fully in. Standing by Spencer she spoke.
"I'm not her girlfriend. I'm her wife"
A glaring contest started, after a minute Ashley sighed as she lowered herself to be face to face with the blonde who was still sitting.
"I'm sorry for all this. I didn't think…"
She stopped a second to breathe in as she heard her new mother in law snort.
"I can book a room in a hotel" Offered the musician.
Spencer was looking at her in the eyes, then glanced at her mother before grabbing her neck and leaning in. Ashley froze for a second as she felt soft lips on her own, then she was kissing back.
"This is…This is…"
Paula couldn't find her words, which was not the case for another, younger Carlin.
"Oh my god! I'd better not see tongue or I'll have to go the bathroom"
Spencer pulled back instantly "Ewww Glen!"
Ashley still in daze, winked at Glen for good measure, but was chastised by her wife. "Don't encourage him!"
"So do I get a full tour of the house or do I need to call a hotel?"
Then glanced at the furious doctor Carlin. Spencer got up, pulling Ashley with her by the hand. "Come on I'll show you around"
Glen was feeling a little uncomfortable, knowing his parents needed to talk, he got up too.
"Well, it's time for me to go to. I have to reply to my call of duty"
He nodded seriously as he walked out, hearing his parents talking again.
The voices in the living room picked up again, but definitely not as loud.
As soon as the newlyweds were climbing up the stairs, the brunette following, Ashely knew she liked being behind her wife in the stairs, Spencer spoke "So this is my mother"
"She is not that bad" Said Ashley.
Walking in Spencer's room, the blonde closed the door as soon as the other woman was in and incredulously asked.
"You can't be serious?!"
"Well, she is not that bad to look at"
The blonde's mouth fell open. "You did not just say that"
"It's a compliment, you'll probably look like her in the future"
Spencer raised an eyebrow as Ashley sat on her bed. "Would you rather I tell you she is the milf"
"Oh my…" The blond did the only thing she could. She hit her wife with a pillow. Ashely Davies would deny it later but she did squeal.
Spencer playfully hit her again, but the third time around Ashley grabbed her arm and pulled her around. Pinning the blonde under her, on the bed. They froze.
Ashley had Spencer pinned, holding her wrists to the bed, sliding up she held her hands there instead. They were both breathing fast, chest barely touching. The brunette with a thigh between Spencer's legs.
A moment passed like that, unsure, but she wasn't pushed away so slowly leaning in, Ashley was looking in her wife's eyes to be sure. Their eyes closed as lips touched.
The brunette felt hands slid down on her shirt, then slip under and caress her naked back. She started to kiss harder, slipping her tongue passed the other woman's slips.
None of them could tell how long they had been kissing when Ashley pulled back smiling.
Spencer's eyes grew wide as she pushed Ashley to the side. The brunette sighed, disappointed but she was more than sure now that she felt something. Something she never did before, it was scary but at the same time it felt so good. She told herself she wasn't going to let it go. If she could she wouldn't let Spencer go.
The blond was cute to Ashley as she was pacing mumbling before turning to her.
"I'm so sorry"
"I was not complaining"
"We need to keep it strictly business. This is a sham. You are not my…"
She wasn't sure how she was supposed to finish that sentence, or if she was saying if for Ashley or herself, her lips were still tingling. She really liked Ashley's lips but it only made things worse with the singer still in front of her, on her bed. She knew this wasn't a good idea. She should never had agreed to it.
