It had been two weeks since the club night and everything had gone back to normal
It had been a month since the club night and everything had gone back to normal. Clay and Glen had come up to Ashley the next day after the event and had hugged her very tightly, thanking her for helping their sister. She had been a bit shocked at first but after a second she had hugged them back.
Ashley, Kyla and Chelsea were sitting in Ashley's car now waiting for Spencer to come out of her house. They had a game today and Spencer would stay at Ashley's house over the weekend. Spencer had told her parents that she wanted to stay with some friends at Ashley's house, but nothing about the planned party that was planned at Ashley's house for Saturday. The event had brought Spencer and Ashley together and they had become close friends. The passenger door opened and Spencer took the place next to Ashley.
"What took you so long Spence? The game starts in two hours and we still have to get there!" Ashley asked not really angry, but curios of what had taken so long.
"Hello to you to Miss Davis" Spencer said not to happy, but there was something else bothering her and Ashley could see it in Spencer's eyes.
"What's up Spencer? Did you and your mom fight again?" Ashley asked. Spencer had told Ashley that her mom wasn't to happy, that Spencer still played hockey. She wanted Spencer to become a cheerleader, but playing hockey was becoming a NO GO for Paula Carlin.
"We just had a huge fight about me going to the game. She says no boy likes hockey playing girls. She wants me to get a boyfriend, go on dates and bring home a guy. She says, that with having so much practice I don't have the time for meeting other people and that my grades are going down, which is so not true!" Spencer ended.
"Do you want that Spencer? Do you want to have more time; do you want to date boys?" Chelsea asked. It was a question that was still open. What was Spencer? Gay straight, bi? After becoming Clay's girlfriend, she had met his family. They were great. Arthur loved his family and adored Spencer, he loved his daughter and wanted to see her happy. Paula was a different book. She loved Spencer, but she wanted the perfect daughter and Spencer did nearly everything to please her mother. Paula wanted what she thought was best for her daughter. Religion was very big for Paula and so Sunday church was always attended. Chelsea liked Paula, but she thought that Paula would never accept Spencer for being gay and Spencer knew that.
"I don't know. I want to make mom happy, but I want to be happy too! I love playing hockey. I have you all, right now I am happy as it is, I don't miss a thing!" Spencer said, glancing at Ashley who had her focus on only Spencer.
"Girls lets forget about all of that for now. We have a game to win and tomorrow we will be at my house celebrating our victory" Ashley said trying to lighten the mood.
The 4 girls got out of the car when they reached their destination. Their first game of the season would be against another private school and when they got of, they could already see all of their other teammates and some other girls. They got their stuff out of the trunk and got changed before walking on the field and started warming up for the game.
Spencer, Ashley, Julia and Belle were warming up together when a girl from the other team came jogging up to them. She was the same height as Spencer and had a really nice body. She had long brown hair and green eyes.
"Ash lets go!" the girl said.
Ashley looked at Spencer to see the worried and sad look on her face. She took Spencer\s hand and squeezed it softly, smiling when Spencer looked up into her eyes. The scene didn't take longer then 3 seconds but the other girl noticed this brief moment of closeness.
"Coming Jess!" Ashley said, moving to Jess and leaving the field with her.
Spencer turned to the other two, not knowing what just happened. First she had thought, that this Jess was one of Ashley's friends with benefits, but after that moment they just shared it couldn't be that.
"What is that all about?" Spencer asked.
"Ashley does it before every game." Julia started. "Jess is the captain of the other team and Ashley is friends with most of the other captains we will play against. Nobody really know what she talks about with the others, but we thinks that she wants to make sure that it will be a fair game. You will know it after the small speech Ashley will give us.
Jessica and Ashley were sitting on some chairs watching their teams warming up and getting ready for the game.
"So spill it Davis, who is she?" Jess asked, not being able to hold it back any longer. Jess was a long friend of Ashley and she knew that Ashley never was into this relationship thing, but what she had just seen made her think.
"What are you talking about? Shouldn't we be here saying, that it will be a fair game and you will hold back your one player who always tries to hit my teammates with her hockey stick when she gets angry?" Ashley asked trying to avoid the question.
"Ash you know what I am talking about, don't try to trick me."
"She is only a friend and nothing more. She is a really cool person to be talking to and you have to say she looks really good in that outfit!" Ashley said looking at Spencer.
"I won't get more out of you, will I?" Jess asked, but already knew the answer.
"So will you talk to the girl? Seriously last time I didn't do anything, but if you can't hold her back this time, I will be playing hard to the limit of being unfair!" Ashley said, her voice having gotten serious and her eyes focusing on her girl with black hair and brown eyes.
"I already talked to Sara and warned her, she will play fair I promise!" Jess said.
"You know my team always plays fair and I know your ex is the referee so we will not give her and chance to make decisions that aren't correct." Ashley said, looking at her friend and seeing the look on her face. "What's with that face, is she still making trouble?"
"She is the one that cheated on me and now she is angry that I found someone that loves me and that I love more then I have ever loved her. Summer doesn't do anything to me anymore she stopped that some time ago and I really thought she accepted that I found someone knew, but yesterday Amy told me, that Summer had been verbally attacking her for weeks, that she didn't feel save in school, because Summer threaten her. She is doing everything to make Amy's life miserable!" Jess explained tears coming into view.
"You want me to take care of it? You know I can help you with that!" Ashley asked her friend. This was normally the main reason behind these talks. She wanted to know what happened in the lives of her friends, what happened in their teams and what they knew about the other teams. It was a method to get information and to keep up to date with everything that happened. Nobody knew better, what happened in L.A then Ashley.
"That's really nice of you Ash, but I have to take care of that myself and since I hear what you did to the last guy that caused trouble to one of your friends, I want to try it myself first. I don't think Summer would be happy about a broken nose." Jess said smiling. She had her information too.
"So you heard of that night." Ashley said, not really surprised, that Jess knew, it was L.A and news travel fast. "Before we go I wanted to invite you and the girls over to my house tomorrow, I am giving one of my small parties." Ashley said smiling.
"Just one of your parties or one of your famous parties?" Jess asked, since there was a difference.
"Both are really famous, I'm a Davis my parties are always great, but it's one of the parties where I only invite special people. You know how you have to ask?" Ashley asked, already standing up and moving to the field.
"I know who to ask!" Jess said smiling, also standing up.
Spencer had been looking at Ashley and Jess from time to time, still not knowing what they were talking about. Now she saw them standing up and coming back to the field.
"Girls come on, there are some final things we will have to talk about before we are going to play and win!" Ashley said smiling. All the girls built a circle around Ashley waiting for their captain to talk.
"Girls, this will be a fair game, I don't want to see anything I wouldn't approve of. Jess ex is our referee for today and she will want to take anything to put it against Jess team. I talk to Jess about the girl from last year and she knows to only use her hockey stick to hit the ball and not one of us, so don't worry Alexis your hand should be in no danger this game! And last but not least girls, I want you to give your best. Jess team is one of the best we will play against this season and I will accept nothing but the best out there. We can do it, so let's go out and show them just how good we are!" Ashley said.
The game was hard; Jess team was playing amazing and the speed of the game was nothing like anything Spencer had seen before. She now could understand the hard training they were doing all the time, her old team would have been out of breath by now and there was still another half to play.
"How are you doing there?" Ashley asked sitting next to Spencer. They had another five minutes before they had to go back on the field and Spencer knew that the game would just get faster and harder. They were leading 1 to 0, the goal being made by Ashley.
"I hope you reserved a nice bed for me, because after that game the only thing I want is a long shower and a comfortable bed to sleep in!" Spencer said looking at Ashley.
"Are you already at your limits Carlin, I thought you could take the second half too!" Ashley said grinning. Calling Spencer by her last name was something Ashley had gotten really careful about. She had done it in school once and was attacked with pudding. The rest of the day she had pudding all over her hair and clothes.
"You know, that it is never a good idea to call me like this Davis, I think it is time to remind you of that!" Spencer said, and before Ashley could do anything, Spencer had grabbed her water bottle and straddled Ashley. She felt the cold water hitting her face. Ashley started laughing, but stopped when she felt Spencer's tongue touching her ear as she began to talk to Ashley.
"Not laughing now are you?" Spencer asked, her voice having become rough. She hadn't planned this! Her plan had been to empty the water bottle over Ashley's head and then run away, but when she noticed the position she was in, with Ashley lying under her she just couldn't resist. "Now I think you remember our bet and that you have to call me Spencer. Don't forget that" Spencer said breathing in the scent of Ashley one last time and releasing Ashley's hand which Spencer still held over Ashley's head. She was about to stand up and give Ashley some space, when she felt how she was brought down again and now it was Spencer lying on the ground having Ashley straddling her. Spencer's just like Ashley's breathing had picked up and when she felt Ashley's breath on her neck she started to shiver.
"I promise, I won't forget what you just told me, I won't forget this moment Spencer!" Ashley whispered.
The game ended with two to one for Ashley's team. After taking a shower and saying goodbye to Jess and her girlfriend Amy, the four where in Ashley's car again on their way back to Ashley's house. But this time Spencer hadn't took the seat next to Ashley, she went straight to the back of the car, which of course got the attention of Kyla and Chelsea. The ride back home was quiet, all of them were tiered, even Chelsea who had been cheering for them all day long. They arrived at Ashley's house, none of them in the mood to go to a club, so they decided to watch a DVD and order pizza, since it only was like 9 o'clock.
"So Spencer, already looking forward to the party tomorrow?" Kyla asked.
"I don't know. I won't know that many people and my luck with partying wasn't that good as we all know!" Spencer said.
"Don't worry Spencer, there will only be really cool people there, I promise and with you just being like you are, you will have to make sure not to break to many hearts tomorrow!" Kyla said, smiling at Spencer but noticing the look Ashley now had on her face.
"Well guys I am off to bed I see you tomorrow." Kyla said giving Chelsea a look.
"I with you, see you two in the morning!" With that the two had disappeared in a matter of seconds.
Spencer and Ashley were alone now, it was after midnight, but both of them ddn't want to leave the presence of the other just jet.
"Spence what do you think of going to my room and watching another DVD, I am not that tiered jet but the couch is just not as comfortable as my bed." Ashley suggested.
Spencer agreed and after going into her room and changing into her boxers and a white tank top, she went to Ashley's room. Spencer didn't knock and so she just saw how Ashley changed into her white tank top. "Oh, I am sorry, I … "Spencer started but was cut of by Ashley.
"Spence it's okay nothing there you don't have too, is there?" Ashley asked smiling. "Now come on and make yourself comfortable in my bed!"
The movie started playing and Spencer immediately put an arm around Ashley's waist and her head on one of Ashley's shoulders. Ashley was shocked at first but recovered quickly and laid an arm around Spencer, bringing her closer to her body. The movie was playing for about half an hour, but the two didn't even catch the first ten. Both of them were deep asleep and both of them had a small smile on their face.
