Chapter 4

Ashley's POV

It's finally Friday!!! I felt like my week sort of just dragged on. Spencer and I have chatted everyday on line. I arrived home after I saw my last patient and quickly jumped into the shower. One of my specialties is sex therapy and to be honest after talking about sex all day I kind of feel dirty. After I get out I realized we never finalized a place to go out. I check my messenger to see if Spencer is on. Fuck she's not.

Aiden comes in the room; he was just down stairs working out. His body is so tight and I thank God that I have such a hot husband. He's really the only guy that I was ever physically attracted to. Does that say something about me?

"What's the matter Ash?"

"Uh… We totally forgot to finalize the plans for tonight. I have no idea what to wear because I don't know where we are going."

"How is that a problem? You only wear black."

"Boys! You are so typical. Of course I'm going to wear black but what should I wear, a skirt, pants, shorts, dress, heels or flats? There are too many choices."

"Just call Spencer and ask her where they would like to go."

"Aid, I can't do that."

"Why not? You talk to her everyday and if you aren't talking you are texting."

"You're right," I take a deep breath and call Spencer's cell phone. After a couple of rings someone picks up and immediately I am intoxicated by the voice on the other end.

"Hello?"

"Spencer?"

"Yah, is this Ashley?" my name never sounded so sexy leaving someone else's lips.

"Yeah, hey, I just realized that we never made definite plans on a location. I mean that is if you still want to meet up. Which if you can't than we'll understand and…"

"Ashley, breath."

"Sorry, I get nervous on the phone. I have a phobia of it. I'm afraid I'll not know what to say and sound like a complete idiot like I am right now."

"Relax, I hate the phone too and you didn't sound like an idiot. Carmen and I would still like to meet. We are sort of in your neck of the woods right now looking at some reception halls," I had a lump in my throat. I almost forgot that they are supposed to be getting married. "How bout we meet up for drinks, say 8? Do you have any place in mind?"

How bout in between my legs? "Um… There is this place down town called Tigers Tale, ever heard of it?"

"No."

"It's sort of a hole in the wall but the drinks are strong and it's kind of private."

"Sure, sounds good. So 8?"

"Yes, I can't wait."

"Me either. See you soon."

So I slipped on some black leggings and a black tank dress from H&M with my gladiator sandals. I pulled some of my hair back and put a clip in it so you can see some of my blue highlights. Aiden comes up behind me wraps his arms around and rests his chin on my shoulder. I can see our reflection in the full-length mirror and I'll admit we make a smokin' couple.

"Why did you have to find out where we were going tonight? You just wear the same outfit all the time? I teasingly push him away.

"Uh Aid! So not true there are like a million variations of this particular look."

"Whatever, our clothes are just going to end up on the floor anyway, whether we come back with them or not."

"Baby listen, I don't want you to pressure anyone into doing anything. I know how much of a perv you can be sometimes. We are meeting with them tonight just to feel things out. No expectations."

"Okay Ash, whatever you want I am just going to go along for the ride," he lifts my chin up and looks into my eyes, "I love you, Ashley Davies Dennison."

"Me too, Aid."

It's 8 and Aiden and I have been sitting at the bar for the last 15 minutes chatting about our days and having a drink to calm my nerves. I look up at the door and that's when I see them come in. She is breathtaking. Fuck no expectations, screw the bar; I want to take her home right now. I motion with my head to Aiden to look up at the door. He does and smiles like a kid in a candy store.

"They are gorgeous, Ash."

"Yeah, yeah," I look at him in all seriousness, "Do whatever you want with the brunette the blond is mine!"

"Possessive much? Ha!" They are searching the bar when I raise my hand and wave at them. They notice and head over. We stand up to greet them and the bubbly blond immediately wraps me in a light embrace. "Hi, oh my god it's awesome to finally meet you guys." She moves over to Aiden and gives him a hug as well, "I'm Spencer and this is my fiancé Carmen."

"Hey," I extend my hand to Carmen. She doesn't look as friendly as the blond. Not bad looking, her pictures don't do her enough justice but she is nothing compared to her girlfriend.

"You guys want a drink?"

"Yeah, sure, that would be great. I'll have a Jack and Diet and Carmen will have a Malibu and Diet Coke."

"Skinny Bitch…"

"Excuse me? What did you just call me?" Carmen looks pissed.

"A Skinny Bitch? Oh dude, I'm sorry. I wasn't calling you that, it's just that's what they call a Malibu and Diet here," Aiden looks bright red. He really is a nice guy and never wants to offend anyone.

"Make that two Jack and Diets, " I add, I smile and turn to Spencer, "A girl after my own heart." Now it's her turn to become a few shades of pink.

We get our drinks and head over to a booth in the corner to talk more privately.
