Chapter 8


They landed in New York safely, and got to the hotel without any problems. The trouble started when they stood at the reception. "What do you mean there is just one room reserved?" "Just like I said it, Ma'am." "Oh don't Ma'am me! And how come that there is no other room?" "Well, Miss, there are no other rooms because we have many guests. But don't worry, there are to beds." Ashley groaned. "Okay then, just give me the fuckin keys."

They went to their room, Ashley didn't speak one word and Spencer knew, that no matter what she was going to say would be the wrong thing. "I get a shower first", Ashley said and locked herself in the bathroom. Spencer didn't care. She opened her suitcase and looked for something to wear. They were going to an underground bar so nothing to overdressed, the blonde decided on jeans and a nice black top. She lied the clothes on her bed and sat down. After a few minutes, she decided to take a nap, hoping that Ashley would wake her up.

When Ashley got out of the shower she looked at herself in the mirror. Usually she didn't do that, of course when she put make up on or if there was a spot, but she never looked into the mirror just to see herself. She didn't like who she had become, but she had no idea how to change. She didn't like people that much, she loved her father, who was dead now, she loved Kyla, who was gay now and she love Aiden, who seemed interested in men. She knew that those two, no matter how they might change, would stand to her, because she'd do the same. Maybe it would just need some time to get used to their changes.

But people in general, she just couldn't stand them, Jesus, she didn't even liked her mother that much. That was maybe because Christine had never acted like a mother. Human scared, bored and hurt her. So why should she like them. They were god for fucking, for playing and business.

And now there was this Spencer girl. There were three reasons why Ashley absolutely disliked her. First she was human, second she was gay and third, she was a nice, beautiful gay human. Ashley was confused, how could somebody be that calm without being cold, how could someone just accept an apologize without ulterior motives. She just didn't get that.

She graped a towel an wrapped it around her. Then she decided to take also a bath robe, she didn't wanted to give Spencer an extra show. The brunette opened the door and saw the blond lying on her bed, asleep. Ashley went to the bed and sat down next to the sleeping beauty. "You have the most amazing eyes I've ever seen", whispered a half awake Spencer. Ashley shoot up, surprised and startled. "I just wanted to wake you up, bathroom's free now." Spencer looked at her and smiled. The blond stood up and paused in front of Ashley, who was unable to move. Those blue eyes just looked like if they could see everything and that really scared Ashley. "You are so beautiful" Spencer said and tuck an loose strand behind the brunette's ears.

Ashley stood completely bewildered there, the blond smiled and disappeared into the bathroom. There she took a quick cold shower (we already know why, right?!) and did the same as Ashley before. Spencer stood in front of the mirror. The dreams became more intense and she secretly enjoyed them. And since the first dream she actually liked taking naps as often as she could, knowing that Ashley would be there, dancing with her, kissing her, touching her. She was shocked about her action before and didn't wanted to look into Ashley's face soon.

The two girls dried their hair in silence, Spencer went inside the bathroom to change, and Ashley took the mirror next to the door to do her make up. At 10 o'clock they were ready to go and just before they left the hotel, Ashley graped Spencer's arm. "Look Carlin, I tried to be nice, but this action was totally uncalled for. I don't need this lesbo shit now, so please, I really say please, stop starring at me!" Spencer nodded, stormed outside and called a Taxi. If this was how their evenings were supposed to be, she surely had to look for something else.

They sat in the care, completely silence. Spencer couldn't understand it. Why did Ashley make her feel so vulnerable? Why was she so attracted to Ashley? And why was that girl so uptight? (See lexj, Spencer and I wonder too...) Spencer decided against looking at Ashley again and starred out of the window. After 10 minutes they reached the club.

The club was called "Malex", which seemed pretty strange to Ashley, but Spencer seemed to have been here before. When the brunette asked her co-worker, the blond smiled. Yeah, I know the owner of this club. She leaded them straight to the bar, and suddenly Ashley saw something about Spencer which kinda surprised her. The blond seemed to unbend, she ordered two beer and gave one to Ashley. "When does the band play?" Spencer asked. "5 minutes" Ashley was right.

The band was fantastic just like Aiden said. The were unique, natural and still they amazed anyone. Ashley and Spencer went backstage and met the band. They called themselves "South of Nowhere". The two woman liked that time.

"Hello, I'm Ashley Davies and I'm from DWDRecords, I'd like to talk with you about a record deal. Oh yeah, this is my co-worker Spencer." Melanie, the lead singer looked at them very closely. The boys whispered something, and went back into a corner to store away their guitars and mics. Lexa, the drummer stood next to Mel and also looked at the L.A. Girls pretty closely.

"Well you two seem to be okay. We have some bad experience with peoples from records."

Ashley nodded "Yep, I know what you mean."

Spencer looked at the four band members. Something told that Ashley would change her mind a bit about them being "natural". Yep, it was her gaydar. Lexa smiled at her a way too friendly and Melanie was already in Ashley's personal space. The boys had already two groupies on their lap. Spencer could barely hold the laughter when also Ashley seemed to realize how near Melanie's face was.

"Wohou...okay, so I'll invite you for lunch tomorrow and we can talk about everything, okay? We have to go. Spencer I'll buy ya a drink" The blonde chuckled, shrugged and turned to Ashley.

"See I'm not the only one, who's starring at you" she said. "Shut up."

They went back to the bar and ordered something to drink. Suddenly hands from behind covered Spencer eyes. Ashley looked at the person, to whom the arms belonged. It was a beautiful blond. Not near as beautiful as Spencer, but Ashley had to admit that she was really pretty. "Guess who", she said. "Oh my God, Alex" Spencer nearly screamed and turned around. The blond smiled and hugged Spencer. Ashley looked at them, not knowing what to think of that girl with this purple streak in her hair.

"You look gorgeous, honey" Alex said. It has been a while since she and Spencer met, but it was really great to see the blond again. Her blue eyes lost nothing of their intense and she was still stunningly beautiful. Ashley saw how Alex looked at Spencer and something bothered her at this.

"You still own me a dance, you know" Spencer smiled, hoping she could get her mind off of Ashley. "Really?"Alex asked and grinned. She took the blonds hand and led her to dance floor.

Ashley graped her beer tighter, when she saw the two blonds dance. There where something familiar about how they moved, as if they'd already done that thousand times before. Their bodies fit together perfectly and soon the crowd parted and gave them more space to move. Spencer laughed when Alex whispered something into her ear, and that made Ashley very angry.

"They are beautiful, aren't they?" A tall brunette was standing next to Ashley. "And who are you" she asked. "Oh, hey I'm Marissa." They fell back in silence and watched the two other girls dance. After the third song, they hugged each other very tight. "Fuckin lesbos" Ashley thought, not quiet sure why she was angry.

Alex and Spencer came back to the bar. "Marissa" Spencer said and hugged the girl. Alex grinned and kissed Marissa deeply. Ashley was totally weird out. She didn't got their relationships. Spencer who noticed that, smiled and began to explain. "This is Alex Kelly, Ashley, we use to date for a while in high school and this is Marissa her girlfriend." Ashley smiled at them suddenly liking Alex more than before. "But why are you guys here anyway" Spencer asked the couple. "Well this is Jody's new club, and she invited us for a few days."

They began to talk and even Ashley started to feel more comfortable. "Come on girls! Let's dance!" Marissa said, slightly drunk. Alex took her hand and Spencer looked at Ashley. "Blame it on the alcohol" Ashley mumbled and also took Spencer's hand. Surprised Spencer followed Ashley.

The dance floor was crowed and the people were having a good time. Marissa and Alex had sex with their eyes (like Blake and Leighton ) and danced really really close, their hands were all over each other. Ashley tried to keep her distance to Spencer but that officially didn't work out when she felt Spencer's hands on her hips. The next song was a slower one and Ashley cursed herself for getting into this. Spencer was an amazing dancer. The brunette didn't expect that the blond could move like this, she always seemed the calm, naïv school girl, but knowing that she had dated this Alex, who locked the a rebel in every way. But here she was now, in the arms of fuckin dyke, who moved hotter than it shouldn't be allowed.

Spencer didn't know what she was doing anymore, but it felt so good to feel the girl so near her. She looked into this warm brown eyes, which looked so softly at her for the first time, and then she felt it. This was not a crush anymore. Her heart screamed and she was falling, she was falling hard for Ashley, who didn't even liked her. Spencer knew, that both of them would blame their actions on the alcohol later but she could keep herself from kissing the gorgeous, who danced like she was an fallen angel, hot and gracefully.

"Ash, I think...I'm falling for you" Spencer whispered into her ear and a shiver went down her spin. Of course it was just because this lesbo was so near, and it disgusted Ashley, but deep inside she knew, there where other reasons. Three other reasons. "I'm sorry, what the fuck do you think you are doing" Ashley asked, angry at herself for slipping into this situation. "I told you I'm not gay!" With that Ashley ran out of the club. Spencer looked bewildered after her. "Shit" she thought. She knew, that there was no way Ashley would talk to her, at least not to night.

Spencer sat to the bar where Jody was working. "Could I have a coke, please?" Spencer asked, suddenly very tired. How could she be so stupid. But there was something in Ashley's eyes, something so soft and warm, like peace. Spencer shaked her head, of course, blame to alc.

After Ashley had reached the hotel she got to their room and lied down. What the fuck was that. The shiver down her spin, that comfortable feeling when Spencer's hands were on her hips. Those three reasons why she had felt so odd, wasn't because the blonde disgusted her. No, she felt still the same, when she repeated the words in her head. "Ash, I think I'm falling for you."

It was the way how her nickname sounded when Spencer spoke it out, it was the hot breath of the blond on her skin and that, what that girl had said. She was falling in love with Ashley. As long as the brunette could remember there had never been someone who made her feel like this by just saying a few words. Spencer was getting under her skin and Ashley couldn't decide who she hated more. At herself for letting Spencer coming so near to her or at the blond for doing this. She decided to be angry at the blond, it was so much easier. Like it had always been, blaming others, keep distance and never think about their or your own feelings.

After saying goodbye to Alex, Marissa and Jody Spencer left about one and a half hour later. Like Ashley she drove back to the hotel with a taxi. She quietly opened the door to her...their room, assuming that Ashley was asleep. She didn't turned on the lights, the lights from the street, shining through the window, where a enough to change and get to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Exhausted Spencer slipped under her covers and closed her eyes. She could hear Ashley turning in her bed on the other side of the room. After everything that happened, everything Ashley had said, it still felt good to have the girl near her.

"Do you love me" Spencer's eyes shoot open. "What? " She turned around. Ashley was sitting at the edge of her bed and looked at her. At least Spencer thought she did. "You said, you are falling for me. Do you love me." Spencer hesitated, but remembering how good it felt to be near the brunette she sighted. "Yes, Ash, I do. If you want to talk about this, can we do it tomorrow?" "Uh...yeah, sure." Spencer turned around and faced to wall. She closed her eyes and in the brief second before falling asleep she felt Ashley's soft lips on her neck and with this feeling she felt asleep. Knowing that the first look into the brunette's eyes had changed everything.
