ASHLEY'S P.O.V
"Spencer have you texted her yet?"
"You're up Maddy..."
"Don't dodge my question"
I've never had this much fun playing a silly card game before.
"Hit..."
"Eighteen?"
"I'll stay"
Eighteen's decent.
"Good girl Spencer..."
"Maddy I'm checking my emails"
When she shows us her phone I'm a little confused.
"Spencer email her..."
"No way"
"Text her..."
"No"
"Give me your phone and I'll call her..."
"Maddy you're annoyingly persistent"
What am I missing!?
"I'm being a good friend..."
"You're being an annoying friend"
"Spencer you need to up your game and I can help you"
"Maddy how would you know anything about my game?"
"Leopards can't change their spots Spencer"
The dealer just dealt me another ace, fingers crossed a picture card follows.
"Blackjack"
Yes.
"Nice hand Ash"
"Thank you Kirsten"
I could sit here all night.
"Ashley?"
"Yes Madison?"
Can't she see I'm busy winning money?
"Were you impressed with Spencer's game?"
When I look over at Spencer she's smiling.
"Yeah Ashley were you impressed with my game?"
"I'm impressed with this game"
When I collect my winnings off the table she laughs.
"Spencer you have a history of not telling girls how you really feel..."
"Maddy I also have a history of being overly sensitive, but you're still having this conversation with me"
That's hilarious.
"I'm being a good friend..."
"You're in a long term relationship Maddy, so I'm not sure your game is fresh enough for this one"
I really like this new Spencer.
Well I'm not even sure if she's new, I just know she's a lot different than she was back in high school.
"Spencer what's her name?"
"Molly..."
"Really!?"
"No"
Molly's a horrible name, she's lucky her name isn't Molly.
"Spencer I'm going to drop it, but if you like the girl, tell her how you feel"
"I'm on top of it Maddy..."
"You could really be on top of it... if you tell her how you feel"
When Maddy's attention moves to Kirsten I turn so I'm facing Spencer.
"She does have a point Spencer..."
"Really Ash!?"
"Yeah I'll help you write the message"
She's laughing.
"You want to help me write a message to the girl I like?"
"Yeah I can endorse you..."
"Okay"
I was not expecting her to say okay.
"Start writing Ash..."
When she passes me her phone I'm a little rattled, I wasn't expecting her to say yes.
"I'm going to race to the bathroom while you start writing"
"I'm on it Spencer"
When she walks away Maddy and Kirsten start laughing.
"Well I didn't expect her to say yes..."
"Here pass me the phone Ash, I'll write the message"
"No way Mads"
I'm definitely writing this.
"Okay Ash let me see this masterpiece"
When I hand her back her phone she's smiling.
"Hello attractive girl I fancy that isn't Molly..."
She's laughing.
"I'm really shy and I never tell girls when I like them..."
It's a really great message.
I'm glad she's enjoying it.
"But I think you're cute and we should totally hook up sometime and make sweet passionate love"
Okay I may have gone a little over the top with that bit.
"Yours sincerely Spencer Carlin xxxo"
I have a really stupid smirk on my face.
"It's perfect Ash and I love the formal ending"
"I'm glad you like it..."
"I love it"
It still amazes me how much everything's changed in one day.
I never thought we'd be sitting here at 2AM at a blackjack table in Vegas, joking about this.
"I really love the three kisses and the hug at the end"
"Spencer you've got to give at least one hug"
"Especially when you're giving three kisses..."
"Exactly"
When she slips her phone back into her pocket I laugh.
"Did the other two sneak upstairs?"
"Yeah they're back in the honeymoon stage"
I need sleep.
"Spencer should we call it a night as well?"
"Yeah I'm exhausted"
I don't plan on waking up until at least twelve.
"So what happened with Kirsten and Maddy?"
"They were on a break"
It wasn't a very long break, but it felt like forever.
"That sucks Ashley..."
"Yeah but they're fine now"
They just needed time apart to regroup.
"It was just a build up of little issues that eventually exploded..."
"Those two are perfect for each other"
They really are.
"Spencer I couldn't agree more"
They've been together a really long time now and I can't see them ever not being together.
"What level are you Ash?"
"Fourteen"
"Are we all on fourteen?"
"I think so"
When she steps into the elevator I hit the close door button.
"Today's been fun Ash"
When I look over at her she's smiling.
"It has... I'm glad it's not weird anymore"
"Ash I think we've flown right past that weird stage"
We really have.
"Well I'm to the left..."
When she steps out of the elevator I turn so I'm facing her.
"And I'm this way"
She's pointing in the opposite direction.
"Go send that message Spencer"
She's laughing.
"Ash I might alter it slightly before I send it"
"That's probably wise"
When she hugs me, I hug her back.
"Goodnight Ashley..."
"Goodnight Spencer"
