"Do you want to come out with me tonight? We are going to that new club over in west Hollywood?" Spencer said jumping onto her stomach on my bed, right next to me.
"Who are you going with?"
"Robin, Karen, Cameron, Beverly, and Jack. You wanna come with? Its going to be fun." She smiled at me from ear to ear. "Plus if you don't go, then, who else am I going to dance all sexy with." She added. It's our second or sophomore year in college and those are her group of friends. Well, our group of friends. Tim is gay. Spencer once told me wants a gay guy friend. Well, she got ones. Robin and Karen are a couple. Cameron and Beverly are the straight ones. How does two straight girls get to be in this group? Well, they know Robin very well. Its been three of them since they were like 10. Best friends for a long time and when they was 15 they decided that they would all go to the same college. A college that would help each of them with what they want to do as a career.
"You could always find someone." I told her.
"Cute Davies.. Real cute. But NO! So, are you coming? Don't make me drag you along."
"Fine, Fine. I'll go. Do I get to drink? Because that would make it so much more fun."
"Sure but I am drinking also. This is going to be so fun." She said. It was already 8 o'clock so, we started getting ready. We were both ready by 9 and heading at the door.
"When are you going to move in with me? You basically live here now." I asked as we started to pulled out of the gates of my house.
"I don't know."
"Don't use 'I don't want us to live together yet. What if we get sick of each other?' Because you know thats not going to happen."
"You never know."
"Are you trying to say you would get sick of me?"
"NO! I'm just stating the obvious."
"I think your just scared."
"Of what?"
"I don't know. You tell me."
"I'm not scared. I just don't feel we are ready for that yet."
"Spence, we have been together for 3 years. When will we be ready? When we are like 50? Come on, you have to give me better answers then that."
"Don't rush it Ash. Like you said I basically live there now. Most of my stuff is already there. One day it will all be there. Just let it live itself out."
"Fine." I reached over and turned the radio on. We listened to four different song before we made it to the club. We walked in hand in hand. We spotted the group by the bar. We ordered our drinks then went and find a table with everyone else. By 11 o'clock Spencer had downed 6 shots and had 4 drinks. I've only had a beer.
"Ash, wanna dance." Spencer slurred. She didn't wait for me to answer she pulled me up and over to the dance floor. Half way through the song, I was getting turned on by Spencer's dance moves. She is grinding all over me. She turned around and pulled me in for a kiss. She slid her hands down my sides and into my back pockets. She pulled away from me. "Lets go home." She said looking me in the eyes.
"I thought you didn't live there?"
"Yeah, well, I do now. Come on."
"Lead the way."
Thats the night she finally moved in. I was surprised she remembered the next day. Oh shit. It's 4:45. I need to get ready. I've spent the last 2 and half hours recording and thinking of Spencer. It happens everyday. I hopped in the shower by the time I got out Aiden was sitting in my living room watching Sports Center. Guys and their sports. I don't really pay attention to it. Spencer did with basketball because of Glenn but I tried not too. I didn't see the point. I've watch a few games with Spencer but I could never get the whole point in the games. I was ready by 5:30 and we headed out the door. We decided to take his car. Aiden is also a basketball star. He plays for god I don't remember what team. Him and Glenn play for the same team though. I know that much. Aiden just isn't as big as Glenn but he has his moments.
"At the end of the basketball season I am moving." Aiden said.
"What? Where?"
"Boston. I am being traded. I'll be playing for the Boston Celtics."
"Why would you agree to that?"
"Their a good team. I'll be played more. I'll do better with them."
"Boston? Thats across the country."
"It's not like we see one another a lot now. Your always touring and if your not doing that your recording. I'm on the road too. We can still talk. You can come visit. I'll come visit. We'll keep in touch."
"Fine. Whatever." We sat in silence the rest of the ride. Aiden buzzed at the gates. God everyone has gates. I wonder if Spencer has gates. We pulled up and parked behind five other vehicles. I stared at them. Shouldn't there only be four. Our car would be five. Please don't be here. Please.
"Ash? What's wrong?"
"Theres five not four. What if she is here?"
"Calm down. You don't know yet. If she is we will leave. Okay?" He said trying to make me feel better. I shook my head and we headed up to the front door. We rang the doorbell twice before Mr. Carlin opened the door.
"Its nice to see you Ash."
"You too." We hugged and followed him in the games room, where everyone else seemed to be.
"You came." Glenn sounded excited. "You guys want something to drink? Anything at all. I got it."
"Yeah, something strong." I told him. I didn't hear what Aiden said. I walked over to Clay and Chelsea giving them a hug and then bent down to say hi to Rubin. Which is there son. Hes nine now, I think. I am not sure.
"Ashley, this is Tony. My house mate. Tony this is Ashley."
"Your Ashley Davies?"
"Yeah. Is there something wrong?" I said looking around at everyone but they all looked just as confused as I did.
"No, I've heard a lot about you."
"Hasn't everybody." I added to his statement.
"Well, yeah but it wasn't from the TV or radio or even magazine."
"Why do you got to tell people, what I talk to you about?" Spencer said walking into the room.
"I didn't say anything. I just didn't think you was for real when you said Ashley Davies. I thought you was lying."
"My past is very true. Every word of it. Now, you can go back to your little party. I just came to get that folder." She said then looked at Glenn. She looked so different. She cut her hair and dyed it a light brown. She wore her make-up different too. It seemed more grown up. I guess. She doesn't like like she has grown any. She has a womens suit on. Maybe she just got off work. She looks a lot older then she did the last time I saw her. I whispered in Aiden's ear and headed for the door. I stepped out on the porch and closed the door slowly behind me. I opened my purse and pulled a pack of cigarettes out, along with a lighter. I had taken up smoking. I don't do it that much. Just when I am really stressed. It seems to help some. After I was done I flicked the cigarette around the gravel and walked back into the house.
"No. I should go. It would be to weird with both of us here." I heard Spencer say.
"You don't have too. We can both be here. Its your family." I said walking into the room. Everyone just looked at me like I was crazy.
"See she don't care." tony said then went to the kitchen and came back with a drink for Spencer. Glenn handed me a glass that was set on the table. We stood around talking for awhile catching up. It was good so far. Everyone laughing and having a good time. We sat down to eat dinner and I have barely said a word.
"So, what about you Ashley? I know you are every where but what's your side to it? Do you like it or what else have you been up too?" Mr. Carlin asked. I guess it was my turn to tell everyone what I've been doing.
"I've done good for myself. I couldn't ask for anything more." I paused looking over at Spencer. She is staring at her hands listening to me talk. I guess old habits die hard. She only plays with her hands when she is nervous or uncomfortable. "I'm touring a lot. It lets me meet a lot of new people. I start my first world tour in two weeks. I'll be touring for 8 months."
"Thats great Ash. Do you have a girlfriend?" Clay asked.
"I don't call her that. Shes more like a fly, I can't get out of my house. The little loud, annoying ones. I guess its cool though. I don't have to come home to an empty house."
"You ever thought about selling it?" Glenn asked.
"When I first bought it. But it holds to much now and I've done so much to it."
"Oh thats right. Clay you got to see her house now. Its crazy better then mine. Its so cool. But I didn't ask you earlier, what did you do to the second floor? It never looked like that before."
"I keep a bathroom and bedroom on the floor but the rest I had then turn into a theater room."
"Movies on a HUGE screen. Awesome for Super Bowl. I should add one here."
"What did you all change?" Clay questioned.
"Umm... The empty room next to the dining room is a game room now. Pool table, you know basic stuff you have in a game room. I turned the basement into a studio."
"What did you do with the third floor?" Mr. Carlin asked.
"Nothing. Its the same as it has always been. I barely go up there. Unless someone is in the guest room. Which is hardly ever, unless Aiden stays over."
"What about you Spencer? What have you been up too?" Aiden asked, noticing I really didn't want to talk about me.
"Work. Thats about it. It keeps me really busy."
"You in a relationship?" He asked. She looked at me then back at Aiden.
"No. I am to busy to have one."
"So, you've been good then?"
"Basically just living. Nothing to special about my life." After that was said everyone was quiet. We all finished eating and Mr. Carlin broke the silence by saying her had to go. He had work early in the morning. Clay also. Its was Saturday, why, they had to work was beyond me. Now theres Glenn, Tony, Aiden, Spencer, and I.
"So, what do you guys want to do?" Tony asked. It seems like it was the first time he talked in forever.
"Want to play some basketball?" Glenn offered.
"No." Spencer said after Aiden and Tony was down for it.
"Come on Spence. It will be fun." Glenn whined to her. I got up and walked to the game room and started shooting some pool. Let the guys play basketball because I know Aiden is not ready to leave yet. The guys walked through the games room and through a walk way that looked like it should have a door but there wasn't one. It was the indoor basketball court. Spencer came into where I was and sat on the stool.
"You want to play?" I asked.
"Why not." She got up and grabbed a pool stick. "So are you ready liking the music career?" She asked as I broke.
"It's good. Keeps me busy but not busy enough. What about you, big time lawyer working out for you?"
"It keeps me way too busy. But I get paid great so I can't complain. I like your last song. Its good."
"Thanks. I just hope my career keeps doing good. I just keep waiting and waiting for it to tank like everything else does."
"You've got what 25 awards total these last five years. Why would it tank?"
"Because everything great does and not everything ends with a reason why. Sometimes it just ends. What do you do then?" I asked looking her in the eyes for the first time tonight. She shrugged her shoulder and shoot the red solid in the corner pocket.
"Okay so, Tony has decided, he wants to play 'I've never'. Aiden and I are down for it. Are you two ladies in?" Glenn asked walking out of the b-ball room, followed by the other two boys.
