A/N: This chapter is late. We are really sorry. It is hard to write this when we aren't together. And I have papers, projects, and finals so it's hard to work on this story. So for the next two weeks the chapters may not be coming so often, but after they will come a lot more, every day if we can. Please stick with us! Thanks for the reviews and story alerts they mean a lot!

Ashley's POV

"Baby get up!" I hear someone calling my name and I really don't want to get up. "Baby!" I hear it again, the voice is really familiar but I can't really seem to figure out who's it is. They jump on the bed and straddles me. I look at their face and it's all blurry. Why can't I ever see this face? She leans down and kisses me, her lips taste so good. I put my arm around her and she gets up and says "Ash get up!"

"Ash!"

I suddenly wake up and hear Spencer calling for me. I get up and yell "I'm up chill out." I walk out of the bedroom and see why Spencer wants me to get up so bad. She is at the coffee pot putting the coffee in the top.

"Why did you wake me up, what time is it?"

"Well for one it's almost 1 o'clock and two you don't need to sleep this late."

"I don't NEED to listen to you, if I want to sleep in, I will."

"Well your up now aren't you?"

"Oh well, I have to get ready and go into the studio for a little bit and work on the song."

"Alright well I'll see you later."

"Ok bye."

I don't know why she hasn't said anything about last night. Maybe she is over it. I mean we are going out on a date, we are not dating yet. I like her a lot and it's just different with her. I can't wait for my date with her tonight. Why is she so worried about it anyways, we are just friends. What if she likes me more than a friend? No that's not it because we had sex and she freaked out. On top of that we kissed and she freaked out too so I know she doesn't like me more than a friend. I get in the shower and by the time I'm done getting dressed Spencer is in the shower. I just leave to go into the studio without saying anything to Spencer. She probably would say something about me going on a date with Brooke, which she can't tell me not to go on it because I will either way.

When I arrive at the studio no one is there yet. I think this is the first time I'm early. Oh well this will give me-.

"Hey you're here early." Says Madison walking in.

"Yah I just got here, how are you?"

"I'm doing great."

"What is making you so happy today?"

"Well part of it is that we are pretty much almost done with this song, and the other part is I have a date with Spencer tonight. But I'm pretty sure she already told you."

"Well as a matter of fact she didn't."

"Oh I just thought she would've told you."

"Nope probably because we got into a fight last night."

"Oh I'm sorry what about?"

"The fact that I'm going on a date with Brooke tonight, and it's way too early for her to start going out, but I mean I didn't even ask her, she asked me. She should have talked that out with Brooke instead of getting mad at me."

"Oh dang, well don't you think it is too early for her to start dating again? She did just break up with her girlfriend."

"Well yah but I mean I really like her, and if something is there, it's there. Why not go for it ya know? She might be "The One", or she might just be another date. I'll never know until we actually do go out and see for ourselves."

"Yah that is true, well I hope you guys have fun."

"Thank you, but let's work on this song some more."

"Alright sounds good."

I wonder why Spencer didn't tell me they had a date. I knew she was mad at me but I didn't know she would be this mad. We are best friends and she should have told me. But maybe she called after we got into a fight and I went into my room. But still she should have told me this morning or something. Oh well I'll ask her later when I go home.

We work on the song and we are almost done with it. We just have to patch up the lyrics a little better and finish up the vocals and put the bass in and we are done. I'm so excited.

"Alright I'll see you later then Madison."

"Yah I can't wait to be done with this already!"

I laugh and get in my car and drive home. I arrive there and Spencer is still here. I wonder if she had to go into work today. Oh well, I have to get inside to get ready! I get out of my car and head inside. Spencer must be in her room, probably getting ready also. I go and knock on her door.

"Come in" she yells.

I walk in the room and see her in front of her mirror doing her hair. Maybe I shouldn't ask her why she didn't tell me she was going out with Madison right now, I'll ease it in.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm getting ready to go out."

"Oh sounds like fun, where are you going?"

"Well I called Madison last night and asked her out, so we are going to Olive Garden."

My heart just stopped.

"Olive Garden huh?"

"Yah what's wrong with that." She says as she turns her head to look at me with a confused look.

"Well that is where Brooke and I are going."

Silence took over the room.

"I mean we could go somewhere else but I put in reservations this morning."

"No it's fine, why can't we both go there it will be fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yah totally fine."

"Ok."

"Well I'm gonna go and get ready."

"Alright."

I walk out of the room and walk into mine and sit on the bed, I take a deep breath. Tonight is going to be fun. I get up and go into my closet to see what I can wear tonight. I just stare at all my clothes hanging up. After about five minutes looking at my clothes I finally chose something to wear.

Spencer's POV

Fuck! Why did I choose Olive Garden. I wasn't thinking, it is Ashley's favorite place to go! Stupid, stupid, stupid. Maybe it won't be that awkward, but what if it is. Why is it so weird with us lately? I know we got into a fight, but we've gotten into plenty of fights and the next day it would be back to normal. Why is it so different this time? I don't know what to do. But I'm gonna have to deal with this later, I have to get ready.

I did my hair and now I'm getting ready. I get all ready and look in the mirror. I'm wearing a royal blue dress that comes up to the middle of my thigh. Hopefully this isn't too much, but I really like this dress. I need to look my best to make Madison want more. I fix my hair a little, and I walk out of my room. I go in the kitchen to get a drink of water, my throat is dry. I hear Ashley come out of her room. I turn around and look at her, and I froze. She looked so beautiful. She had black skinny jeans on with a black halter top on that shows part of her white bra. She had heels on that probably makes her a little taller than me. Her hair was down and she had her little poof that she usually does. She looked so amazing.

"Spencer are you ok?"

"What? Yah no I'm fine."

"So what time are you leaving?"

"Well our reservations are at 7 and it's only 6 so I have to leave here soon to pick up Madison."

"Oh ok well Brooke is coming to get me here soon."

"Ok well I hope you guys have fun tonight."

"You too, you look good tonight."

"So do you." I say with a smile.

"Thank you."

"Alright well I'm going to go and I'll maybe see you at the restaurant."

"Ok sounds good."

I look at her one last time up and down, hopefully she didn't see that. I grab my purse and walk out the door. I get in my car and drive off to pick Madison up.

I get to her house and walk up to her door and knock on it. I wait for a minute and she answers it. Wow. Is all I have to say. She has a white skirt on with a cute blue top on and her hair is down.

"Wow Madison, you look amazing."

She smiles and hugs me. "So do you."

"Are you ready?"

"Yes just let me grab my purse."

She walks in her house and in no time at all she walks out and closes her door. I open the car door for her and close it. I walk around to the driver's side and get in the car. I start it and drive off.

"So where are we going?"

"Olive Garden."

"Oh wow how did you know I liked that?"

"Well I didn't I just guessed and I like that place too."

We both laugh.

"But I have to tell you something."

"Ok."

"Well Ashley and Brooke are going on a date tonight and they are going to the same place so don't be surprised if we see them tonight."

"Well that's not a problem with me."

"Ok I was just telling you."

We sit in silence for a while. We get to the restaurant and got our table. We order our food and drinks.

"So how is the song going?"

"We are almost done we just have to polish everything up and we'll be done. I really can't wait."

"Yah I bet, that's how I feel about my show."

"So I have a question for you."

"Ok ask away."

"Why did you get mad at Ashley for going out with Brooke?"

"She told you about that huh? Well only because I know how Ashley is, she hasn't had a real relationship in a long time. So if she hurts her then it'll hurt my show. I know that sounds a little selfish but I mean it is true and Brooke is such a nice girl. And another thing, she just got out of a relationship and I think she is moving too fast."

"Oh ok I get it now. Did you explain that to Ashley?"

"Well I tried, that's why we got in a huge fight. She doesn't like to listen to people. She just listens to the only thing she wants to hear."

"Do you like her Spencer?"

"I love her, she is my best friend."

"But do you like her more than a friend?"

"What? No why would you say that?"

"I was just making sure."

"Are you sure there isn't more to that?"

"Yes."

"Ok so let's talk about us." I smile at her.

She smiles at me. "Well are you single?"

I laugh and say "Yes, why would I ask you out if I wasn't?"

"Well I was just making sure, you never know."

"Ok well are you?"

"No I currently have a girlfriend."

"Oh...well that's cool."

She grabs my hand and says, "Spencer I am kidding yes I am single."

"Ok good because I was about to get the check and leave."

She laughs and says "Oh so you would just leave me sitting here all by myself?"

"Yah if you said yes to going out on a date with me and you have a girlfriend."

"Well I know not to get on your bad side."

"Exactly."

"So what kind of girls do you usually date?"

"Cute ones."

"Am I cute?"

"No."

"Oh ok that was a litt-"

"Madison you are beautiful."

She smiles at me and says "Well thank you. But stop doing that."

"Why it's fun."

"Not to me!"

"Ok ok don't get feisty."

"Oh that was nothing."

"Well I don't want to see you mad then."

"Don't get me mad."

"Hopefully I don't."

"So really what do you look for in a girl?"

"Well I don't think I want to tell you."

"Ok um why?"

"Because you are doing everything right. So you don't have to worry about anything. Just be yourself."

"Ok then."

"See that's the problem I think. So many girls ask me what I look for in a girl. That's my answer every time. Just be yourself and I will determine if I like you or not. They ask that question to see what I am into and try to be that to get with me."

"Ya know I've never thought about it like that."

"Well that's just how I think."

"I like that."

"Well you really don't have to worry about anything because you are doing perfectly fine."

"That's a good thing."

It gets a little quiet for a few minutes but the waiter comes to bring our food. The food looks really good. I am really having a good time with Madison, but I can't help but think about Ashley and Brooke.

"So have you always known you were gay?" I ask her.

"Well no because in high school all I did was try to hook up with guys." Hmm interesting answer.

"Did you ever have a relationship with a girl before?"

"Once but I don't really like talking about that because it ended badly." Madison says as she starts to play with her food. Aww I feel bad for her.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. How long have you known you were gay?"

"For about 3 years now."

"And you've only one relationship?"

"Yah and a lot of hook ups." Hmm I wonder if she even wants a relationship or just a fuck buddy.

"Would you ever want a relationship?" Survey says?

"Yah, actually I really want a relationship." Good answer.

"Good, because so do I."

"So how long have you known?"

"Since I was 16." Even though I knew sooner, but denied my feelings for my teachers and my babysitter.

"Oh nice."

"So you're out to everyone?" I hope so because I do not want to deal with hiding in the closet.

"Yah everyone is supportive now."

"Now?"

"Yea, my parents kind of freaked out at first but they tolerate it now. Did your parents freak out when you told them?"

"My dad was real supportive of my choice as long as he saw me happy."

"What about your mom?"

"Well she died after she gave birth to me."

"Oh wow I'm so sorry to hear that."

"It's ok."

"Well that's good that your father is supportive to be gay."

"Yah he is a really good guy." I wouldn't have him any other way.

We sat there talking and eating for the rest of the time. We are about done and the lady brought over the check. I see Madison reaching for the check but I quickly grabbed it before she could reach it.

"What are you doing?" She asked me.

"I asked you out, I'm going to pay."

"Well at least let me get the tip."

"Nope, I got it all under control."

"Please I feel bad."

"Don't let's go."

We get up and walk over to the cash register and I pay for the bill and we walk out to the car. I open the door for Madison and get in on the driver's side. We talk the whole way to her house and we finally got there. I get out and go around to her side and open her door. She steps out of the car and I shut it.

"I had a really great time with you tonight."

"I did too." I smile at her.

"I hope we can do this again sometime soon."

"Oh we will."

She looks in my eyes and smiles. She leans in and presses her lips against mine. I kiss back. She pulls apart and walks up to her door. She turns around to look at me and she smiles and walks in the door and closes it behind her. Wow she is amazing and I think I really like her a lot. We are definitely going out again. I wonder if Ashley is enjoying her date.

Ashley's POV

I'm sitting in Brooke's car as she pulls up to my house. I really don't want this night to end but unfortunately all good things come to an end this has been an amazing date! Let's recap shall we?

I was sitting at home waiting for Brooke to come and pick me up. Spencer just left to pick Madison up for their date. We are going to the same place; hopefully we won't have any drama. Anyways I'm sitting on the couch and then I hear my doorbell. I get up and when I get closer to the door I get nervous. Why am I so nervous? I never get this nervous. I open the door and I was speechless. Brooke was standing there with some flowers. I smile at her and she hands me the flowers.

"These are so beautiful." I say.

"I'm glad you like them." Brooke says as she walks in the door as I walk in the kitchen to put them in a vase.

Brooke looks so amazing tonight; she is wearing a white dress with pink and purple at the bottom of the dress. With some heels on and her hair is down in cute curls. I get done putting the flowers in the vase and we walk out of the house. She opens the door for me and I thank her I get in and when I get done putting my seat belt on she is already in and pulling off to head to the restaurant. We talk a little in the car not too much because a song came on that she loved so she sang it. She is an amazing singer. We get to Olive Garden and I forgot to tell her about Spencer being here, but I don't tell her because maybe we won't see her and if we do I'll just tell her that I forgot to tell her. I really just don't want any drama and I want to spend some quality time with her.

We get our seats and the lady takes our order and I haven't even seen Spencer so that's good, so I won't even bring up the fact that she is here to Brooke. Then we have a conversation and it goes like this.

Brooke starts off the conversation, "So what's your favorite color?"

"Wow I usually don't get asked that a lot but it's blue."

"Mine is purple."

"That's cute."

"I don't do cute, I am either sexy or hot."

"A little cocky don't you think?"

"Yah but I find it attractive on other girls so why not do it myself."

"Well lucky for you I think it's sexy when girls are cocky."

"Oh yah why is that?"

"Well because of the fact that I don't like it when girls are always like I'm ugly or I'm fat, or something like that. I think you were made the way you look, and you should embrace that. Someone will love you for you."

"That's a good way of looking at it."

"Yah I know."

Brooke just laughs.

"So can I ask you a serious question?" I ask her and she looks at me seriously.

"Yah sure go ahead."

"Do you still want to be with Carmen?"

"No! Why would you ask that?" She asks defensively.

"Alright calm down killer, I was only making sure."

"I'm sorry; it's just a touchy subject still. I loved her so much and I thought we were going to be together forever. But when I saw her with that other girl, all that love that I had for her just vanished. And she had a pretty lame excuse. I mean yea we were kind of distant, but I just thought that was from her being at work all the time. Little did I know she was at work all the time because she was with some other girl."

"Wow I would say that I am sorry, but to be honest I'm not."

"And why is that?"

"Well because then I wouldn't have a chance to be with you right now and getting to know you better."

"Awe that's sweet."

"Yah well I'm not just all about looks and sex here."

"Who said anything about sex?" She asked seriously.

"I...I didn't mean ya know me and you I was just saying ya know-"

"Alright Stutters I was just kidding." Thank god! I need sex in my life!

"Anyways, so what made you become an actress?"

"Well probably the fact that I like being in front of a camera, and I like to act different parts. Just for the time I am acting it's like I can step in someone's shoes for the role and I just like the feeling of that."

"That's really cool; I can tell you're passionate about that. I'm very passionate about my music."

"Yah and the fact that you don't want to be famous tells me that you don't care if you're not the center of attention."

"Yah I wouldn't know what to do with all those flashing lights in my face. That's just not my scene."

"That's one of the reasons why I like you." I can see some blushing going on.

"Awe that's really cute, I mean hot."

"Good save." We laughed. She has a really cute laugh, but if I have to be honest Spencer's is a lot cuter. I mean she can kill me with just her smile.

The waitress brings our food and we talk a little while we are eating and we get done and she paid for me. I like this being pampered thing.

That brings me to where we are now. We are in front of my house and she is coming around to open my door. I get out and she walks me up to my door. I stand in front of her, she looks deep into my eyes. She is leaning in to kiss me and I kind of back off. She looks at me confused.

"What's wrong?"

"Listen don't think I don't want to kiss you because oh my gosh I do. It's just you just got out of a relationship and I don't want to rush anything. I really like you and I don't want you to do anything you are not ready for."

She stands there thinking about what I just said and finally says. "Yah I guess you're right. Thank you for tonight I had a great time."

"I had an amazing time with you too. I wish this didn't have to end."

"Me too but I have work in the morning."

"Yah I have to go in the studio tomorrow."

"Ok well I'll talk to you sometime later, call me."

"I will."

I smile at her and she starts to walk away. I run after her and grab her hand and turn her around and hug her, she hugs me back. She smells amazing. We pull apart and she smiles and I lean in and kiss her cheek.

"Goodnight beautiful."

"Goodnight."

Another note! There will be some Spashley in the later chapters. We still have a lot to get through before then. We would really like to know how everyone feels about the pace that we are going at. We also wanted to know how you feel about the South of Nowhere YouTube videos. Please let us know!
