Here it is, Ch. 10 because you asked for it. Enjoy it while it lasts hough, because I think I'm going to slow down again. I'll probably wait until Jonz puts up a new Ch of TPOTS before I update, just so I stay far enough behind to read Ash correctly.

Chapter 10

"So guys, we were thinking for this afternoon, we'd play cards," Daniel said.

"Without clothes?" I asked hopefully.

"No," Sammy said, rolling her eyes.

"So what's the point?"

"Okay then. For Ashley, the winner at all the card tables gets whatever he or she likes for the afternoon."

"Much better." Oh so much better. Because we al know what, or rather who I want this afternoon ;)

Daniel and Samantha set up four tables with different games at each one. The winner from each table went on to play the winners from the other tables until there was only one left standing. At first I was into it, but card playing is not really my forte, so I decided to talk to Spencer, who I was sitting next to.

"So uh, what were you and Nessie talking about earlier?"

"Nothing much. Why?"

"Oh, no reason."

She raised her eyebrow at me. "Jealous, Ashley?"

"No, of course not!" Ashley Davies does not get jealous. People get jealous of her. So, uh, why did I ask? "I was just wondering. And the way she put her arm around you and all. I just wanted to make sure you were okay." Right, that's why I asked.

Spencer bit her lip and tried her hardest no to laugh, but it didn't work. I couldn't blame her…hell, I wanted to laugh at me. That doesn't mean she gets off free though, so I hit her on the arm.

"Don't make fun of me!" Yeah, only I'm allowed to make fun of me.

"Come on Ash, you couldn't have said that without thinking just how much I was going to taunt you about it."

"Yeah well… you taunt me, I'll tease you."

"In a way I'll like?"

"… Probably." She gave me the biggest grin ever, and I winked back.

She looked spaced for a minute, then turned her attention to something that wasn't me. Hey, that's not fair, what's more important than me? Cards? Oh yeah, there's a card game going on and the winner gets whatever they want. I have the feeling I'm losing, because I haven't been paying attention at all. But you wouldn't either if you were me, ok. This game is sooo boring.

"Nothing's happening," I whined.

"Shh!" was all I got from the very involved players at our table.

Seriously, how can they be into this? I'm bored out of my fucking mind! I'd have more fun staring into a mirror! Then again, I like staring at myself a bit more than the average person. I can't help it if I look damn good.

Suddenly, Spencer interrupted my internal monologue. Did I really just say that? Never mind, just pay attention to Spencer. (Like I could pay attention to anything else?)

"Ash? Maybe if you concentrated on the game you'd enjoy it more, plus you'd get a chance at getting what you'd like for the day." No thanks, I'm too easily distracted by my looks and you.

"Oh but baby C, I already get what I want."

She raised her eyebrow again. "Oh really? And how would you manage that?"

"Sweetie, it's easy. I'd start with you since it seems that most of the camp is smitten with you by now anyway, so you'd be a good strategic start."

"Sure, but how would you get me?" Spencer, Spencer, Spencer…you have so much to learn.

"Well, that's the easiest bit." I leaned in to Spencer, putting my hand on her thigh and pressing my lips to her ear.

Walking my hand up her thigh, I whispered. "I just have to...play with you in the right places. And... I think... I know exactly where."

I pulled back to see a very flushed Spencer, which made me happy. See Spence, I always get what I want.

She turned her attention to the game again, determined to win. It's a good thing one of us is paying attention, because I sure as hell am not winning at this point. Ok, I'm done. I'm bored as hell, and I'm losing. I threw my cards down on the table and just walked away.

I wandered to the next table over and sat next to Aaron.

"Hey," I said, sitting down.

"Hey bitch," he said with a smile.

I pointed my finger at his chest, looking dead serious. "That's sexy bitch to you."

"Oh, excuse me."

"Ok, but it better not happen again."

"Hey sexy bitch," Dani said from next to me. When did she get there? "So did you and Spence pick up where you left off once you were in the confines of your tent?" she asked with malice.

"Jesus fucking Christ! Since when is it everyone's business who I screw?" And seriously Dani, did I detect jealousy there?

"You're the one that usually makes it our business by bragging right after you charm the pants off some innocent schmuck," Samantha said from behind her cards.

"…and since you're not," Dani continued for him, "I'm guessing you weren't so lucky," she said with a snicker. Sam nodded her confirmation, making Dani laugh harder.

"Fuck you." Yeah, I'm grumpy now.

"With pleasure," she replied, giving me a twisted grin. Wipe that smile off your face or I'll do it for you.

"Ok, tone it down ladies, we don't want a catfight here," Aaron said, keeping me from doing anything stupid.

With that, I walked away. Ok, I admit I lost my cool a bit there. Sam's right, my sex life is no closed book, and it makes sense that Dani would ask me, just like after a night of partying we'd call each other and find out who scored. Why does this feel so different?

I headed over to Jay's table, where he had already won. After a few short minutes I was bored again, and left.

I found myself walking in the direction of Kyla's table, where Spencer also happened to be sitting.

"Really?" Spence asked in response to something I couldn't hear.

"Well... you put on quite a show last night," Kyla said, grinning. Hell yeah we did, and Kyla, I'm going to take that as a sign you liked the girl on girl show too. Damn, better keep you from my woman.

Sitting down between them, I spoke. "Don't think too hard about it baby C, it's called 'the lesbian factor'. Girls love us because they want to have a taste of liberty, men watch because... well actually, I don't know if it's because they get turned on or because they're trying to learn how to do it right," I finished with a grin. "Jay won on the other table. So, why are you two talking about last night?"

"We weren't talking about last night per se, just mentioning it." Sure Kyla, I think you had fun re-hashing it. "I said everyone liked Spencer and we'd love to have her back."

"I really do agree. I'd love to have her back. Possibly her front, as well." That made Kyla groan and Spence spaced for half a second before blushing. Considering the possibilities baby C?

I smirked. "Oh come on Ky, stop being such a prude."

"I'm not being a prude! I just don't need to know about your sexual fantasies."

"You just won't admit lesbian sex is so much better."

"You have absolutely no way of backing that up," Kyla shot at me, rather defensively I must say.

"Yeah, I do. When two girls fuck, one of them doesn't have to simulate orgasm."

"I've never had to do that!" way to get really defensive Ky. Because that reeaaally helps your case.

"I wasn't implying you had ever had to. But you instantly felt concerned, thus proving my point." Satisfied, I turned my back to Kyla and faced Spencer.

"Hey babe. I missed you."

"Hey. Uhm. Hi." Aww. She's so cute when I turn her into mush.

"But you know what? My tongue missed you even more." I pulled her neck, pressing us into a kiss. I wanted more, and started getting closer, my other hand resting on her thigh, but she pulled away, blushing.

What's wrong Spence turning back to straight already? It's not midnight yet.

Whatever. Aaron won his table, and we were waiting on Aiden's table to finish. He looked like monkey with all his over exaggerated facial features at every turn of the game. I was getting bored again and wanted to talk with Spencer, but she was engrossed in a conversation with Hannah, which I decided to interrupt. It was about cards anyway, so Spence clearly needed my rescuing from the boringest subject of all time—besides ancient History with Mr. Grogger. God that class was boring. I used it as nap time or skipped it all together.

"You're not boring baby C, are you sugar?"

"No she's not, we we're just talking about where she learnt some of the hand tours she used on me earlier," Spence said.

"Oh? I can teach you some of those too..."

That one got both of them to blush. Damn, I'm good.

"We weren't talking about...those tricks, Ashley," Hannah said quietly.

"Mhh. Just stuff from a book she has."

"I was probably the most interesting thing she ever flipped through anyway. Spencer, did you know that Hannah always licks the tip of her finger before turning a page? And that she holds the book trapped between her index and pinkie and her middle finger and ring finger?"

Hannah turned away, most likely blushing again, as a very confused looking Spencer asked, "Why is this important?"

"I'll tell you later. When I can show you. Right now, it looks like the ADHD kid is going to win."

"You mean Aiden?"

"Yeah, you've never seen him after a can of Red Bull."

"Do I want to?"

NO. No one should have to witness that. "It's a laugh in the first ten minutes, then it's like dealing with a five year old who's got a crave for chocolate."

"Oh..." Yeah. Not fun.

After a few minutes of Aiden slamming down cards and looking like a hyped up rabbit, he won his table. Then we had to suffer through his little victory dance. I was just about to smack him in the head when Dani went up behind him and did it for me. Now we're good for earlier.

Sammy stood. "So the winners from each table are Jay, Aaron, Spencer and Aiden."

"Oh great, we've got an equal number in boys and girls!" I said, looking at Aiden, who ignored me and grinned at Kyla.

"Spencer versus Jay, Aaron versus Aiden. Switch table so that it's a new game to both of you. Good luck."

Spence sat across from Jay, and I stayed where I was, looking over every once and a while to see how she was doing. She lost pretty quickly this time, and looked disappointed. Aww, poor Spency. I went over to give her a deep, lingering kiss, settling in next to her.

"Damn, what would a congratulations kiss have looked like?" Jay asked, teasing.

"And would you care to demonstrate?" Tom called, walking up to the table. I just rolled my eyes.

Spence looked really out of it, watching the other game for a while before getting up and sitting next to Andrew.

"What was that about?" Jay asked

"I dunno," I said, walking away as well, but not heading in Spencer's direction. I spotted Vanessa and decided o walk over to her. Something had been eating me all day.

"Hey Nessie," I called, going to the far side of camp where she was sitting alone.

"Hey Ash."

"So…uh…what did you and Spence talk about this morning?"

"Why don't you ask her that?"

"I did."

"And?"

"She said nothing much."

Vanessa smirked a bit. "Well I wouldn't quite call it that, but I'm not saying anything more."

I groaned.

"Sorry Ash. But really, it was no big deal. And why are you so worried anyway?"

Uhh…good question. I'll have to get back to you on that.

She cocked her head and looked at me for a second, but moved on.

"Look, it's not my business what goes on between the two of you," Thank you. Someone around here gets that. "But Spencer is a nice girl and I don't want to see her ending up like some of your other leftovers, got it?"

I nodded, a little stunned.

"Okay then," she stated simply, walking the rest of the group.

I was staring off into space, lost in my own head, mainly thinking about Spencer. Every once and a while I'd look over to see her talking to Andrew, this little crease forming between her eyebrows when he told her something, but eventually smiling. Then a certain meathead stared screaming about something or other.

"I WON!! I BEAT ALL OF YOU LOSERS!! I TOTALLY ROCK!!" Aiden said, starting to dance around again.

"Oh, perh-lease. Somebody shut him up before he starts to sing 'I'm the king of the castle'…" I shouted from my spot under the tree. Seriously, I pity the dude. He needs help.

I watched from the tree as Aiden decided to have Kyla as his prize and carried her off into the woods. Ugh, I am so not heading in that direction. Ever. Seriously, if a bear was chasing me, I'd rather turn around have my eyes clawed out than go over there and witness that, just to keep the image from scarring my brain forever.

I stood and walked toward the rest of the group, who stood in shock from Aiden's antics.

"Well, I'm bored. I suggest Aaron and Peter go join Aiden while Dani distracts Kyla and then the boys can have a threesome. Yes?"

"What!?" both Aaron and Peter shouted at the same time, causing the whole camp to burst out in laughter.

Alright, that's probably it for a while :( Review please, and maybe I'll put up the next chapter sooner than expected.
