Ashley's POV

I waited outside, the door; not wanting to go just in case Spencer needed anything. I heard shuffling inside and a short thud, followed by a few curse words and a sigh. I giggled, and lightly knocked on my bathroom door. "Hey Spencer is everything okay in there, I heard a thud." There was silence for a few seconds and I was about to ask again when she answered. "Um, yeah everything's fine…I just slipped while I was taking my…..um trousers off". I had to giggle at her clumsiness and shook my head. I was already thinking of how to approach the idea of how to ask her out, when I suddenly heard the door creak open and she stepped out. My mouth instantly went dry when I saw her in the bathing suit. I so badly wanted to reach out and put my arms around her waist like she was mine…..like she was my girlfriend, but of course she wasn't, at least not yet. I smiled to myself…..thinking of the day when I'd ask her to be my girlfriend. At least if our date goes well. A hand flashed in front of my face, snapping me out of my day dream. "Hey Ashley, are you okay, you were just staring into space". I felt my cheeks flush and bit my bottom lip, embarrassed at being caught. "Yeah I'm fine, sorry just had something on my mind, anyways…..lets go". I took her hand and dragged her downstairs, being careful not to bump into anything. When I got there I saw that Kyla was already in the pool, lounging lazily on a float. With an evil grin, I looked at Spencer and put a finger to my lips, signaling her to be quiet. Then I took my shirt of, revealing my bathing suit, and canon balled into the pool, sending Kyla over the edge and sputtering water. I laughed hysterically and she glared at me, trying to duck my head under water.

I heard Spencer laughed, and I turned to see her already in the pool swimming towards me. I smiled, at her and she smiled back, blushing at the attention she was getting. Kyla gave a nervous cough, and I looked at her to see a sly grin on her face. I rolled my eyes at how immature she could be sometimes, and slowly held Spencer's hand in my own pulling her towards the edge of the pool. "You know, you look really cute when you blush Spence, like a red tomato."

"Oh shut up, I do not look like a tomato…"

I smiled at how cute she was being, and moved, seeing if I was having any sort of effect on her. She stepped back and I could see her eyes widen slightly. When I was close enough, I lifted her hand up to my lips and gently kissed it while looking into her eyes. As expected a blush crept up her neck, then onto her cheeks. Her mouth was slightly open…..not able to form any words. Satisfied with my achievement, I swam away from her, leaving her dumbfounded, and asked Kyla to pass me the beach ball so that we could play catch. The time we spent in the pool was filled with laughter and it made me happy to know that Spencer was enjoying herself. After a while, we all dried ourselves and got changed, I dragged Spencer to the garage, and let her choose a car. "Your letting me choose a car?"

"Yeah, I'm letting you choose a car…so which will it be?" She clapped her hands like a little child and bit her bottom lip, contemplating on which one to choose, but then I saw her eyes land on a BMW convertible, and I smiled at the choice. "You want that one don't you?" She shook her head yes, and we all got inside the car. Of course Spencer was admiring the interior and touching everything, amazed with color and the leather of the seats. "What is it with everyone and cars, I mean I would just be happy to get a car" I looked at Kyla, with that look that said 'you're kidding me right' and she just shrugged her shoulders. She was never really a fan of cars, but then again, I never really let her choose which one to drive. You see, I was in charge of all the cars. Last time Kyla drove, she accidentally damaged one of the cars, and from that day on, I never let her drive another car again, well….not any of my cars anyway.

We arrived at the mall, and as usual, Kyla dragged us to may clothing stores, dragging Spencer a long with her to try some outfits. I tried seeing what outfit she recommended for Spencer, but it was no use. She was doing her absolute best trying to hide it. Knowing her, she's picking an outfit for Spencer to wear on our first date, not that Spencer would know…..yet. "Kyla, why do I need all these clothes, it's not like I'm going to wear any of them anytime soon". She snorted, and under her breath I heard her say….. "Oh trust me, you will be".

"Kyla, I'm bored, can we please get out of this clothing store!"

"Wait, I want to get Spencer to try on one more outfit"

"Kyla, no, I can't even pay for half of this, my allowance isn't that big you know!" I chuckled at Spencer; I know how she was feeling. I've been in her position before, and it's not a good place to be, at least not with a shopaholic like Kyla. "Spencer, be quiet, I'm treating you out, so I'm paying, and no arguments or I'll be forced to take extreme measures." I saw Spencer huff in slight annoyance and fold her arms before getting dragged into yet another changing room. I looked at my watch, we'd be going in and out of clothing stores for almost an hour, and I'm starving. "Ky, hurry up I'm….."

My mouth suddenly went dry again, and I looked up to see Spencer in tight black jeans, with a sexy light blue top that hugged her body in all the right places, at the same time complimenting her eyes. My eyes raked over every inch of her body, and my heart began to pound heavily against my chest. Kyla giggled behind Spencer, and dragged her back inside. After a few minutes, we all went out to grab a bite to eat at Subways. As always someone noticed us and before we knew it we were swamped with people asking for photographs and autographs. It was even hard to eat our food without someone having to ask if they can get another autograph for their friend or family.

"Wow, bet it must feel good to get notice like that all the time"

"Not really…..sometimes I just wish that I was a normal person, but then when I think about it, I say to myself, I'm fine with things just the way they are…..not because of the fame or the money, but because this was something that our father enjoyed, and i just wanted to respect and honor that."

"Hmmmm, I'd love to get this kind of service though, I mean did you see how quick it was for them to make our order, it was like a few minutes!"

I just chuckled and we all ate in complete silence. The day was going by so fast, and before I knew it we just had one more thing to do before I dropped Spencer home. Covering Spencer's eyes, me and Kyla, dragged her towards the ice skating rink a floor above us. She sat there tapping her foot and tried to get information out of us, but I wouldn't budge. I didn't tell her that I rented the ice skating rink just for us. When we got to our destination I uncovered her eyes and she gasped. "Were going ice skating?"

"Yes we are, I thought it would be a fun thing t o do before I dropped you home, it's just here….I asked the manger to save it just for use for a while"

She squealed like a child and made a bee run for the ice skating shoes. Kyla ended up having to tie hers on because she didn't know how to do it. When we finally got on the rink, Spencer immediately began to skate around the rink, doing all sorts of fancy tricks. I followed her trying to catch up with her. "Can't catch me!" Catching her off guard however, I grabbed her hand, trying to pull her towards me, but failing miserably when I slipped and fell on my bum, pulling her with me. "Oh my god Spencer, I'm so sorry, are you hurt, do you need to go to the hospital to get anything checked." When we stood up I began to inspect her of bruises or cuts, but she just grasped my hands in hers and smiled gently.

"Ash, I'm fine, honestly."

Huffing out a sigh of relief I gave her a hug and kissed her cheek. When I pulled back my body was standing really close to hers, and I only just realized that I had both my arms around her waist. This is it, I thought to myself, the perfect moment to ask her out. Taking deep breaths I looked her in the eyes, and let the words slip out of my mouth. "Spence, I know that I've only known you for a short while, and that at the beginging I wasn't really very nice, but I'm trying to change, and I was um, wondering if you'd like to go out with me sometime, but of course you don't have to say yes, I don't know for sure if your gay or no…..oh god I'm beginning to babble aren't I? What I mean to say is would you"

"Yes"

"I mean like I said you don't have to, but….wait what? Did, did you just say yes?" Her head nodded back and forth and smiled. Turning round I did my happy dance and screamed she said yes. I heard her giggling behind me and realized I was making a complete idiot out of myself. "Kyla went up to us with a huge grin on her face, obviously she heard me scream out yes, and knew why I was so happy. "I'm guessing Romeo over here asked you out and you said yes, am I right?" Spencer nodded happily and I could see her trying to hide her blush again. Biting my lip, I smiled and felt my stomach begin to tingle with the excitement of taking her out on a date. I was going to make this the best first date, I didn't want to mess up, especially know that she said yes. I was just so happy, and I felt all giddy and warm.

Dropping Spencer home…..

When we arrived in front of her house, I opened her door and let her step out. Being the polite person that I am, I walked her to her door. "Thanks so much Ashley, u had a great time today….i um, I can't wait for our date. I smiled at her and winked, causing her to blush a bright crimson red. I stepped forward and kissed her forehead, letting my lips linger there for a little longer then necessary. When I pulled back I heard her sigh in contentment, and smiled again. I really didn't want this day to end because I was really enjoying myself, but I knew it was going to have to end sooner or later. With one final kiss on her cheek I walked back towards my car, and didn't leave till I saw her safe and sound inside her own home. Kyla began to tease me of course, saying how cute I was on the ice skating rink when I did my happy dance. Once we got home I placed my car keys on the counter and flopped down onto the couch with a dreamy look on my face. Kyla sat next to me and noticed the look I had. "Hmmmm, I'm guessing your really happy know huh?"

I nodded my head slowly and looked her in the eye, turning to face her on the rather large sofa. "I like her Kyla, and it's been a while since I've liked somebody, I'm just glad that I finally opened up my eyes and decided to do something about it….."

"I know, and I'm very proud of you Ash, you and Spencer would look so cute together, and I know she likes you, trust me. I could just tell with the way she looks at you, and the way she blushed every time you gave her a compliment or even went near her."

"Really?"

"Yes really, it's really obvious she likes you…and I know that in a few minutes, shes probably going to call me to ask what to wear!"

I laughed and punched her arm lightly. She was such a good sister, and I'm glad that she approved of me for Spencer. I can't wait to take her out tomorrow night.

Spencer's POV

"Judging from that huge smile on your face, I say that you had a blast, am I correct sweetheart". I nodded and bit my lip. My stomach has been doing flip flops all day, and I just couldn't wait to see what Ashley had in mind for our first date together. Glen came into the room with his arms folded, and smirked. "So sis, did she kiss you or what…." My mother came up behind him and smacked the back of his head. "Hey, what was that for…."

"Aww, look honey, she's blushing, isn't that so cute!" I laughed, and finally told them why I was feeling all giddy. My mum sqeauled when I told her and gave me a huge hug, already blabbing about what to wear. But when I held the shopping bags in my hand and told her that Kyla treated me out, she looked into the bag and her eyes went wide. "Oh my god, you have this top, I wanted that top!" I chuckled and kissed my parents both on the cheek before going upstairs to my own room and unpacking my stuff. I didn't know what to wear for my date with Ashley tomorrow, and I was beginning to panic. Suddenly an idea came to me and I quickly took my phone out, dialing Kyla's numer.

"Hello?"

"Hey Kyla, it's me Spencer, you've got help me, I don't know what to wear for my date with Ashley, and it's tomorrow!"

"Spence calm down okay, you sleep, and tomorrow I'll come over and help you pick an outfit for your date with my sister tonight."

"But I want to pick it now!"

"Spence chill, everything is going to be fine, my sister already finds you hot anyways….."

I blushed and took a deep breath, I was glad to know that she found me that attractive.

"Okay, but come over early"

We said out goodbyes, and I hung switched of my mobile. I quickly took a shower and slipped onto a fresh pair of Pajamas. Not being able to sleep, I took my ipod out from underneath my pillow and put on a song.

When I was younger I saw my daddy
cry and curse at the wind.
He broke his own heart and
I watched as he tried to re-assemble it.
And my mamma swore she would
never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if does not exist.
But darling..

You are the only exception (x4)

Maybe I know somewhere deep in
my soul that love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways
to make it alone or keep a straight face.
And I've always lived like this
keeping a comfortable, distance.
And up until now I swore to myself
that I'm content with loneliness,
'cause none of it was ever worth the risk.

But you are the only exception (x4)

I've got a tight grip on reality,
but I can't let go of whats part of me here.
I know you're leaving in the morning, when you wake up,
leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.

Whooa..

You are the only exception (x8)
And I'm on my way to believing.. (x2)

I let the soft melodic voice of Paramore drift into the air, and my eyes began to close. I thought of Ashley…and fell into a deep peaceful sleep. I couldn't wait to see what Ashley had planned for our first date.
