A/N: Hey guys, I'm so sorry for the super long delay in posting this chapter. I really need to focus the last couple of weeks of school. So now that it's out I should have a lot of extra time to post now. Hopefully I still have some readers. I'd like to thank everyone who has read and commented on this story. Spencer arguing with herself is in italics. so I hope you all enjoy this chapter. And as always please comment. Thanks for reading!!!!
I wake up to the sound of my cell phone ringing. I grab it and answer it without really looking at who's calling.
"Hello?"
"Hey Spence", comes the cheery voice.
"Oh, hey Ash", I say instantly perking up at the sound of her voice.
"Did I wake you", she asks suddenly sounding worried.
"Yeah, but it's okay", I tell her.
"I'm sorry. I didn't think you.."
"Ashley, seriously it's okay", I say cutting her off.
"Okay. Um I was just calling to see if maybe you would um maybe um possibly um like to maybe hang out with me today", she's says rambling. She sounds so cute.
"Yeah, I would love that", I tell her with a big smile on my face.
"Okay, um then I can pick you up at like 12:30", she says.
"Yeah that works for me", I tell her. I give her my address before we hang up.
I take a glance at my cell phone and see it's 10:00. Crap that only leaves me 2 and a half hours to get ready. I don't even know what she plans for us to do. Maybe if you calm down a bit you can figure it out. But what if she doesn't like what I'm wearing or what if it isn't right for what we're gonna do. She likes you so I'm willing to bet she won't mind what you wear. Yeah you're right. Of course I am. I'm you. Oh god I'm losing it.
I've been searching through my closet in just a towel for an hour now. I can't find anything to wear. This is crazy, it's just Ashley right. I mean it's not like this is a date or anything. Wait or is it. Shit, shit, shit, shit. Okay calm down Spencer. If it's a date cool if it's not that's fine too. Just put some clothes on she will be here soon. Okay that's a good idea.
After I finished my conversation with myself, I decided to put on a light blue bikini under a pair of short shorts and a white and black tank top. I throw my hair in a messy bun and grab a pair of flip flops just as the doorbell rings. I rush down the stairs with the flip flops in hand, I open the door to see Ashley in a tight skirt and an even tighter band tee. She looks so hot. I look up to see Ashley looking me up and down. I blush a little feeling a little self conscious.
"Sorry it took so long no one is home", I say causing her to look at my face.
"It's no problem", she says smiling. "So um you ready to go?"
"Yeah just let me grab my keys", I tell her. I run to the kitchen and grab my keys and put my flip flops on the way and make my way back to where Ashley is waiting. We walk to the car and she once again opens the door for me.
"So where are we going", I ask her once she's in the car and we start to pull away from the driveway.
"To the beach", she says looking over to me quickly smiling.
"Oh cool. But won't that be a little difficult to relax, I mean people are bound to recognize you", I ask.
"Yeah that's why I rented a secluded part for when I come home and want to get away from the fame", she says.
We drive the rest of the way to the beach in silence. I love how content I feel just sitting in silence with her. I look over at her and realize just how beautiful she really is. Perfect tan, amazing brown hair, those gorgeous brown orbs, she's just…..perfect. I'm still looking at her when we pull up to the beach. Ashley is at my side in an instant opening my door for me. She holds out her hand to help me out of the car and takes my hand and leads me down the beach to a spot that already has towels laid out.
"Um if you need a swim suit I have some extras in the beach house", she tells me pointing to a house a little ways away from where we're standing.
"It's okay, I decided to wear one underneath my clothes ", I tell her.
"Okay cool. You look great by the way", she says smiling really big.
"Thanks, you do too", I tell her blushing like crazy.
"Thank you. Do you wanna go for a swim", she asks me nervously.
"Yeah that would be fun", I say starting to pull off my shorts. I notice Ashley watching me do so. Once they are off I look back up at her to see her starting to remove her skirt.
"Last one in is a rotten egg", I say removing my shirt as I take off towards the water.
"No fair Carlin", she yells after me. Once I'm in the water she comes up behind me and tackles me. I let out a loud yelp. Once I recover from the initial shock I dunk her under the water and try to swim off, but she catches my ankle and pulls me under the water. We continue to play in the water like a couple of kids for about an hour before we decide to get out. We go lay out on the towels to dry.
"Ashley do you have any suntan lotion in there", I ask looking over to her.
"Yeah, I'll be right back", she tells me getting up and jogging over to the house. I lay back out in the sun. A couple of minutes later I hear footsteps approaching and I see Ashley coming back with a bottle of lotion. She motions for me to sit up so she can apply the lotion. Once she has finished the top parts of my body she tells me to roll over so she can get to my back and legs. Once she has sufficiently applied the lotion to my body I return the favor.
"So Ashley how often do you come out to this place? It's very relaxing and comfortable", I say looking over at her from my place on my towel.
"Um it really depends on how stressed I am", she tells me with her eyes closed and the sun beating down on her. I don't say anything else, I just close my eyes and turn over and enjoy the silence between us.
******************************************************************************
I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I know Ashley is waking me up.
"Hey sleepyhead , you hungry", she asks rubbing my back.
"Yeah a little", I say sitting up. I then notice the picnic blanket a couple of feet from where I'm laying and smile.
"Go inside and change, there are some clothes in the bathroom, it's the first door on the left", she tells me and I notice she has on a pair of jeans and another band tee. I nod and get up and go in the house and find a similar outfit for myself. Once I'm in the clothes I go back outside and find Ashley waiting for me on the blanket. Once she notices my presence she help me sit down on the blanket.
"This is so sweet Ashley. It's perfect", I tell her honestly.
"Thanks, I just wanted today to be special for you", she tells me blushing slightly. She's so damn cute.
"Well it was, I had a lot of fun", I reply. We stop talking long enough to eat the sandwiches Ashley made for us. By time we are done eating the sun is beginning to set. I look over to Ashley and see her leaning back looking at the horizon. She looks over to me and pats the space between her legs. I look down nervously before I move to go sit between her thighs. Once I'm settled she wraps her arms around my waist and I lean back into her chest. She then rests her head on my shoulder and lets out a content sigh.
"Spencer, I um I really like you, and I know this might be a little soon, and you're free to say no and I'll totally understand, but would you consider maybe um being my….girlfriend", Ashley says to me with nervousness dripping off of her voice.
I'm quiet for a moment before I say, "yes".
"Yes you'll consider it?", she asks.
I chuckle lightly before saying, "No, I won't consider it, but I would like to be your girlfriend".
She doesn't say anything back, she just presses a light kiss to my temple and tightens her grip on me. We sit in silence and watch the sun set on the horizon.
"Spence, we should get going it's getting chilly", Ashley says once the sun has completely set.
"Ok", I reply. I stand up and then turn to help Ashley up, then she starts collecting the blankets and towels. Once she has them gathered up she turns to me and takes my hand and we walk back to her car. She stops and helps me in before she goes and put the things in the trunk. She then comes and takes her place behind the wheel of the car. Once it's in gear she takes my hand and intertwines our fingers. We make the drive home in silence. It's so peaceful.
We arrive to my house about 45 minutes later. She once again comes to my side and opens the door for me and helps me out. She's so sweet and thoughtful. She walks me to my front door.
"Today was fun", she says playing with my fingers.
"Yeah it was, I had a great time Ash", I say smiling.
"Yeah me too. Um maybe we can hang out again tomorrow", she says looking nervous.
"I would like that", I tell her. She gives me a bright smile before she slowly starts to lean in. I close the distance and bring our lips together in another chaste kiss, only difference is this one lasted a little longer than the one last night. She once again pulls away and I'm met with her soft eyes gazing at me.
"Well I'll talk to you later", she says.
"Ok", I say and give her one more peck.
"Bye Spence", she says with a small smile.
"Bye Ash", I respond before walking into the house. I watch as she goes back to her car and pulls out. Once inside I close the door and lean against it.
"Hey Spence, where have you been", my father says coming out of the kitchen
"Oh, hey dad, I was at the beach with a friend", I tell him. He walks over to me and kisses my forehead.
"Okay well next time just leave me a note", he says smiling. I tell him I will and head up the stairs to take a shower and get the salt water off of my skin.
A few hours later when I'm getting ready to go to bed my cell rings and I see Ashley's name flash across the screen.
"Hey", I say smiling.
"Hey, I just wanted to call and hear you voice before I went to sleep", she says and I can hear the smile in her voice.
"Aww that's sweet Ash", I tell her blushing.
"Yeah, well I have to get up early tomorrow and go to the studio for a little while, so I'll call you tomorrow", she says sounding super cute.
"Okay, well sleep well", I say.
"You too Spence", she replies.
"Goodnight Ash", I tell her.
"Goodnight baby", she says before hanging up. I close my eyes and smile. She just called me baby. I get into my bed and images of Ashley swarm my head and I drift off to sleep thinking of my beautiful girlfriend.
