Ashley's POV
Ok, it's been a few weeks since Kyla and my sister kiss, but there still not going out, so what gives? I know my sister, and it's probably because she feels a little insecure about how she feels. She's never really been in a long term relationship, and I think it scares her that there could be something more with Kyla if they were to get together. I walked to the room with headphones in my ears when I saw Scarlett in front of the mirror looking nervous as hell. I couldn't make out the words that were coming out of her mouth so I took my headphones off and quietly snuck up to her unseen.
"Kyla….I was wandering if, no no no! Idiot, you can't just ask her out straight away, oh god, how am I gonna do this without making a fool of myself. Ok Scar….just chill, try again. Ok here goes. Kyla you want to hang out after school, we could grab a bite to eat or….. (Sigh) something." I couldn't help but laugh at the scene that was unfolding before my eyes, my sister was rehearsing what she was going to say in front of our hallway mirror. She heard my laughter and turned round, immediately blushing at getting caught in the act. "Oh uh, hey Ash I didn't see you there, how much did you hear?" I shook my head and walked up to her…patting her on the back sympathetically before turning her round to face me and look me directly in the eye. "Pretty much all of it…Scar, just chill, be yourself, first get her some flowers, and then maybe ask her to sit with you at lunch today, don't do anything stupid or drastic on the first day, you'll only end up making a fool of yourself in front of the entire school and I don't think that's something you want."
"Ahhh, I don't think I can do this, Ash please help me out here….i've never liked a girl for this long and it's making my brain hurt and turn into mush, I can barely think when she's around, she's just so beautiful, and those eyes, god those eyes….I can drown in them and her smile, just brightens up my day" She yapped on about Spencer's best friend and had this dreamy look on her face, I laughed and snapped my fingers in front of her face, snapping her out of her day dream for a second and getting her to look at me. "Scarlett, don't worry I'll help you, besides, it's fun seeing you all flustered, that means I get to tease you about it all the time!" I dodged the slap that was about to be delivered to my arm and ran away from her. She chased after me, turning left and right, trying to avoid breaking anything.
"Hmmm, now why am I not surprised…."
We both looked towards the doorway to see Spencer with her arms crossed grinning widely. Ah, there's my girl. And she's looking as beautiful as ever. What? Can't blame me for being this mushy, imagine if you had a girl like her. Yeah, I thought so. Anyways, I am currently staring at her outfit, which looks super fine on her. Scarlett shut my mouth closed and I heard Spencer giggle. I glared at Scarlett and stuck my tongue out. "Oh real mature baby sis…"
"Oi, you shut it before I tell Spencer what you were rehearsing in front of the mirror."
"What was she doing in front of the mirror?" I looked at Scar with a wide devilish grin and she looked at me with wide eyes. "She was rehearsing what to say to Kyla, because she wants to ask her out, but doesn't know how to….as you Brits say it, charm her." Spencer laughed and looked at Scarlett. "Haha, thanks a lot guys, but seriously, I really do like her, and I do wanna charm her so that she'll say yes when I ask her out, but how do I do that?"
"Ok, well I know Ky….she's pretty much a hopeless romantic, give her flowers and compliment her, she'll swoon like mad."
Scarlett smiled, oh….I know that look, it means she's got an idea. "I got an idea" See I told you so, didn't I say she had an idea? "Oh yeah, and what's that? Me and Spence looked at her curiously before she told us to come closer. "Well what about if I write her a song and sing it to her, that's romantic right, I know she'll love it! I smiled at her, that was a pretty romantic idea, but knowing my sister, she's not so good at writing songs, she's good at guitar and singing, but songwriting not so much. I'm good guitar, piano and violin, plus I sing great too. I know, I sound pretty sure of myself, but it's true, my dad was Raife Davies, so me and my sister pretty much got the musical genes from him. "That sounds great, but make sure you do it in front of people then she'll really be impressed."
I kissed Spencer on the side of the head, that's my girl for you, always trying to help people out. Did I mention she's really smart? I know I know, I compliment her too much, but I pretty much can't help anything I think when she's around me, my brain just melts, and my legs feel like jelly every time she compliments me. "That's a great idea Spence, ok, now lets get to work on your song shall we, it'll take a while, but we have to be careful every time she's around ok? We can't give her anything to be suspicious about, you know what Kyla's like, the weirdest bit of suspicion and she's on ya like a hound!" I heard Spencer giggle and I nudged her before we all went upstairs to my room.
1 hour later….
The door rang and we all stopped what we were doing and looked at each other. "Ok, remember Scar, act natural, try not giving anything away, no quick we have to hide all these before she walks in and see's everything. We rushed to hide every single last sheet of paper, before Spence went downstairs greeting Kyla at the door. I heard another female companion with Kyla and raised an eyebrow looking at Scar. She seems to be confused to, so we both went downstairs to see who Kyla was with. Hmm, never seen this girl around before, maybe she's new or something. She touched Kyla's shoulder affectionately, and I could feel Scarlett stiffen beside me at the contact. "Oh hey Ash, he Scarlett, I'd like to introduce you to Charlie, she's my cousin from Chicago, only came to visit, I hope you don't mind her spending the day with us too, that's not a problem right? I smiled and felt my sister relax before looking at Kyla and her cousin. "That's totally fine Kyla, and nice to meet you Charlie. "Hey, it's nice to meet you guys to, thanks so much for letting me spend some time with you guys, it beats hanging at home and doing nothing all day."
"No problem. Hey Spence how do you know Kyla's cousin?" I looked at her curiously before she went by my side and held my hand. "I met her one summer when Kyla dragged me with her to Chicago." Oh that explains it, don't get me wrong, I wasn't jealous I was just curious because she seemed like she knew her, nothing wrong with asking. Is there? "Ok, so what are we doing today?"
"Well, I was thinking we could lounge around the pool and maybe have a barbeque, I hope that sounds ok, because I really just want to chill at home, schools been making me pretty tired lately."
"Ash your always tired…" Everyone laughed and I pouted at Spencer kissing her on the lips. It was only meant to be a brief kiss but things quickly got heated and the kiss deepened. Her arms snaked around my neck and I pulled her closer to my body. We heard coughs and pulled away, Spencer hiding her face in the crook of my neck, I smiled and kissed her head, before turning her round and letting her body rest softly against me. "Aww look at you Spence, you're as bright as a tomato, geez, Ashley you've got to tell me what you did to my friend here! I laughed at Charlie, she seems like a really great girl. "Well. Enough chit chat lets go, and oh…Scar can you please show Charlie and Kyla where the spare bathing suits are?"
15 minutes later
Me and Spence snuggled up to each other with Spencer's head on my chest and my arms around her waist. I sighed happily and she looked up. "Something wrong Ash?" I smiled and kissed her forhead, reassuring her that nothings wrong and that everything's okay. "Yeah everything's fine, that was just a happy sigh…..I'm just really happy to have someone like you in my life, everything's been so great for me since I moved here, and I'm just glad that I met you."She looked at me then leaned her face up to kiss me. The kiss wasn't rushed, but slow and gentle, and at this very moment I knew Spencer was pouring everything into that kiss. No words really need to be shared as we both know how we feel about each other.
"Oi you two, stop making out and join us in the pool, your giving each other way to much PDA." We pulled away from each other and looked up to see that Charlie was standing in front of us with her arms crossed. "Hey bugger of I was enjoying kissing Ashley…." I smirked at her then looked over to see that she was pouting and it was so darn adorable. I couldn't help myself and leaned over to kiss her again. It was only meant to be a brief kiss but we both ended up deepening it and getting lost in each other again. Before I could take things a little further I felt myself being pulled away. My eyes shot open and all I could see was the sky. Scarlet was holding my legs and Charlie had her arms under my armpits. I struggled to get free and I saw Kyla holding Spencer back. I am so going to kill them when this is over. "Hey! Put me down ight now before I kick all your asses to kingdom come and leave you there….STRANDED!" My threats were ignored and I could already see the pool right before my eyes. They started to sway me back and forth as if I was sleeping on a silk hammock and then the next thing I knew I was flying in the air and landed in the pool with a loud splash. I rose to the surface and wiped the water away from my face before I glared at them. Spencer managed to get free from Kyla and swam to my side pulling me into a hug. "Aww look at them….aren't they just so cute, there so made for each other"
"Yep….hey Ash I actually like one of your girlfriend, now please keep this one!" I chuckled at my older sister and kissed Spencer on the shoulder. I felt her briefly shudder and I smiled, pleased to get that reaction out of her. Only I could make her shudder with delight like that, only I could do it, and the thought, made me so happy. I may sound a little cocky right now, but I'm only speaking the truth. "Ok enough with the sappiness; here I go…..cannon ball!" Everyone including Kyla laughed at Scarlett. She can be such a goof ball sometimes; she's even more of a goofball than I am. But girls find her irresistible anyway, and yes I'm talking about Kyla. The rest of the day was spent with us hanging out and lounging around the pool. Kyla barbeques really well, and I have to say that her and my sister would look so cute together. It's about time my sister gets someone to control her. I even saw Kyla feeding Scarlett a chicken Kofta, and of ocurse my sister blushed but she smiled none the least. Charlie had to leave shortly afterwards when her parents dropped by the house and said they had to go. I had such a fun time, and it was nice to make another new friend. By the time we all went inside the house it was already almost 5:00pm.
"Hey, anyone want to watch a movie?" I looked over at my sister and saw that she was looking at me Kyla and Spencer. Spencer yawned but nodded her head yes. Kyla said yes, so I just nodded and told her to put on a movie, but nothing to scary because I know Spence isn't really a fan of horror movies. Of course my sister had to pick a horror movie, she always does. But I didn't have to worry because Spencer cuddled through my side for most of the film and buried her face in my neck when it got to scary. She was just so adorable sometimes. Wait, what am I saying, she's adorable all the time! "This is a horrible movie, turn it of turn it off.!" Kyla pulled the pillow in front of her face and when a scream irrupted from the TV she screamed so loud and ended up sitting on Scarlett grabbing her body and hugging her close. Scarlett, being the sly dog that she is put her arms around Kyla and whispered in her ear, what I'm assuming is something romantic and protective. Kyla immediately looked up and blushed resting her head on her shoulder. They were just so cute together, I know they'd make a great couple, I hope sooner rather than later. Because someone seriously needs to keep that sister of mine on a leash before she goes off and does god knows what with god knows how many girls. I know that as soon as they get together, Scarlett would change for the better.
The movie eventually ended and I ended up dropping Spence and Kyla home. I waited till Spence got insider he house and left. As soon as I got home, I saw Scarlett sitting on the lounge chair staring dreamily off into space with a huge smile on her face. "I'm guessing that's smile is for making Kyla blush, am I right or am I right?" I smirked and sat down next to her. "So what did you say to her anyways, because as soon as you pulled away she was blushing like mad, not to mention that smile she had stayed permanently on her face for the rest of the movie."
"All I said was that she didn't have to worry, because I'd be here to protect her and hold her close." I raised an eyebrow, that has got to be the cheesiest thing my sister has ever said in her entire life. "That has got to be the cheesiest thing I 've heard you ever say in your entire life!"She just shrugged her shoulders and looked down fidgeting her hands. I thought her being like this was absolutely cute. "Can't help it, and besides, at least I made her swoon, Spence said she's a hopeless romantic, so the more I make her swoon, it'll be less heard for me to ask her out. I can't wait till that day she says yes. I'll be over the moon!"
"Ok Romeo, hold your horses, still got a while yet till that happens, now come on, get up of your ass and let's do some sisterly bonding."
