How I Met Her Mother
Ashley Possible
*Ashley*
I grip on to the steering wheel tighter as I grind my teeth. I let go of the steering wheel only to use my free hand to slam into it over and over again until it turns red. I ball up my throbbing hand and scream in frustration. My screams are shortly followed by tears that freely roll down my cheeks. I scream some more because I'm so sick of crying, hurting, and being tired. I put my forehead on the steering wheel and cry even harder.
I'm sitting in the parking lot in front of our apartment. I have been out here for quite some time. I haven't been able to leave, too stuck in my emotions. I'm surprised I've made it to the car with my shaky knees and teary eyes. I lean my head back running my fingers through my hair. I let out a heavy sigh and drop my hand behind my seat brushing my fingers across something in the process. I turn around and grab the strap I just touched and open the purse taking out the small box I couldn't allow the theft to take.
2 years and six months earlier
I pull into the parking space and look over to Spencer who is trying to act like she doesn't see me.
"What are you staring at Ashley Davies?" She questions still trying to avoid my gaze.
"I am just admiring how lovely that shade of red looks on your cheeks." I smirk as she turns her head further towards the window while brushing a single strand of hair behind her ear.
I feel my heart overflow with all the joy I have for the blonde sitting next me. After Spence said she'll be my girlfriend we walked along the cold sand letting the icy breeze brush against our skin before putting our feet in the freezing water. No matter how low the temperature was today, I felt warm with all the feelings she made me feel by just saying yes.
"Are we going to sit in the parking lot all night or are we going to go inside to our bedroom?" I'm taken out my thoughts by her smooth voice.
I turn my head lazily resting it on the side of my seat as I stare into blue eyes. I lift my hand to the back of her head gently pushing her forward towards my lips to give her forehead a soft kiss. When I lean back I see her eyes are still closed and I take this moment to give her a quick peck on the lips.
"Thank you for finally acknowledging we sleep in the same bed." I smirk before rubbing the arm that she just smacked.
"Shush you never sleep in the other room anyway." She points a finger while smiling.
"Yeah but it's nice to not have to act like I'm going to the room then have to do something irresistible to make you call me back." I lean the seat back.
"Is that what happens?"She arches a brow and I nod yes while sporting a wide smile.
I stretch my arm wide from my side for her to fall in it. She leans her seat back scooting her body into me and we lay there wrapped in each other's arms with our eyes closed breathing in each other's scent.
After our unexpected nap in the car we stroll up to our apartment swinging our hands, bumping shoulders, and stealing glances and kisses.
"Oh my God! AAAh, AAAh, Ashley!" She's moving her feet waving her hands. Yeah my hand too since she's still holding mine.
I place my free hand on her shoulder and look into her eyes and this calms her a little since her teeth are still shaking. "Spence what is wrong?"
"A roa, roa, roach!" She starts back stomping and weaving.
I usually spray this 100% pure tea tree oil mix with water in front of the door every other week to keep the cockroaches away. It rained earlier today and they love water and I forgot to spray, so here we are.
"Spence it's just a roach." I walk towards it and she doesn't let go of my hand stretching her body the furthest away from her hand as it can go. "Babe you're being silly." I smile at her but she has broken out into a cold sweats. "They can't hurt you." I try to reason but she is not even looking in my direction instead she is facing the stairwell. "They can't bite; well they can pee on you, which feels like a bite but not an actual-"
"Ash! This is not the time for one of your fun facts." She turns around and faces me but turns away just as fast.
"Look it's nothing." I say lifting up my Coach shoes stepping on both creatures. "See all gone." I give a proud smile.
"I think I'm going to be sick." She faces me again holding her free hand to her mouth and finally releasing my hand running past me unlocking and opening the front door.
I shake my head and go to follow her in the apartment but am cut off by Spence's open palm to my chest.
"What's the issue babe?" I question with a quirked brow and nervous smile.
"You are not coming into this house with roach guts on the bottom of your shoe." She shivers.
"Oh that." I scoff while rubbing the bottom of my shoe in the small puddle of water by the door. "See all clean." I beam at her brightly.
"Ewww baby please." She pouts and I peck her lips quickly.
"Alright." I take off my shoes leaving them by the door and walk into the house. I go over to my spray bottle mixture in the kitchen grabbing it with some Clorox bleach wipes for the bottom of my shoe. "My shoes better not be missing woman." I place my hand on my hip trying to look threatening.
Once I'm done cleaning up everything, spraying, then washing my hands I go flop on the couch next to my girlfriend. I smile hard thinking about how good the title sounds rolling off my tongue. She scoots next to me and gives me a bright smile before kissing me soft and sweet.
We break the kiss and stare into each other's eyes. "Ashley Davies… my hero." I grab her hand kissing it all the way up her arm and down again Gomez style.
"Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me." She tries to stifles her laugh but fails miserably. She pushes my shoulder.
"Oh so you're Kim Possible now?"
"I think I can pull off the black crop top with green cargo pants." I point to my body for emphasis and she licks her lips in approval. "However, since pagers are dead and gone and sadly so are good ole phone calls. My theme song would have to be text me, tweet me, if you wanna reach me." She burst into laughter and I join in.
"You're such a dork."
"I'm adorkable." She rolls her eyes. "And you."I tap the tip of her nose with my finger."Love every bit of it." I rub my nose against hers before giving her a quick peck on the lips.
I lean into her deepening the kiss as she lets her body fall into the couch. I begin straddling her as she pulls my bottom lip holding it between her teeth before letting me have it again and I do the same to hers. We as of our lips touch.
"Wait, Wait." I hear Spence mumble into my lips. I lift up giving her a concerned look. She lifts up on one of her arms with the other one crossed over it. She looks deep into my eyes before speaking in a hush tone. "Ashley if you're Kim does that make me Ron." My eyes widen as I lean my head back.
"Ugh! And I'm the dork?" I lean forward just in time to watch her burst into laugher. I take the couch pillow and begin smothering her with it as I faintly hear. 'I can't breathe.'
After our wonderful day together we went to sleep in our room without her fussing. I smile at thought as I turn on my side to watch her sleep. I let out a sigh of pure bliss while brushing a strain of hair behind her ear. I take my bottom lip in-between my teeth before getting up slowly from the bed.
I tip toe from the bedroom to the living room trying not to wake up Spence. It's eleven o'clock out here, but it's only eight in Ohio. I open the laptop and after it loads I click the name I want on Skype.
"Hello Ashley." He coughs
"Hey sir." I smile brightly at him.
I'm so happy he knows who I am and didn't look at me like 'who is this weirdo on my daughter's laptop.' I never officially met Spencer's dad. I know she has told him about me and must have described me to him to know who I am or it could be because I called him from his daughter laptop at eight o'clock at night. Ok anyway it's time to get back to business. I shake off my nerves and wipe my hands on my pants.
"What do I owe the pleasure?" He coughs even harder this time.
My smile fades and is replaced with worry. "Are you ok sir?"
"You can call me Arthur."He smiles before coughing some more. He holds up his finger to indicate one minute. He sits back in his seat and takes a sip of the water he went to get. "Sorry about that."
"Are you sure you're ok?" I ask again with more worry in my face. I bite the corner on my bottom lip.
"See that look on your face is the reason I don't want to tell." His hand starts to shake making his water spill a little and he tries to place the water on the table. His hand begins to shake fiercely and he ends up spilling it.
"Shit!" He jumps up yelling in frustration.
He begins breathing hard trying to hold back tears of stress. He walks away coming back a few minutes later with a few paper towels to clean up the spilled water. He sits back at the laptop wiping away his tears before giving me a weak smile.
" I'm sorry about that." He says in a shaky voice.
I clear my throat and sit up straight in my chair."Look sir-"He narrows his eyes at me. "Mr. Carl-" He raises his brow. "Arthur." He gives a bright smile which I gladly return. I inhale then exhale. "I know we don't really know each other but I've been told I'm a great listener and if you want to tell me what's wrong I won't judge." I finally breathe.
He's face becomes sad as he looks down. He looks back at me with blue eyes filled with sadness. "Ashley are you sure you want to know? Because if I tell you, you can't tell Spencer." He lets out a heavy sigh. "I want this news to come from me." He whispers.
I swallow the lump in my throat knowing this must be some heavy news because Spence and her dad don't keep too much from each other…Spence and her mom yes, but not her and her dad.
"I'm sure." I nod my head.
"Ashley I have cancer." He rushes out as if he has been holding that in forever. My eyes widen I wasn't expecting the news to be this big. "I have had it for a while and I'm not sure how much time I have."
"Oh my God, Spence." I breathe out.
"You can't tell her." He half way shouts cut off by a cough.
"I won't, I won't." I put both hands up. "Please just calm down." I put them down.
"Sorry." He says embarrassed. He rubs the back of his neck."The chemotherapy makes my nerves bad and it's hard for me to pick up things. Getting use to the change is a bit nerve wracking." I nod in understanding.
"It's ok." I smile softly, a gesturewhich he returns. We stay silent looking around the room in our individual houses then back at each other awkwardly.
"I'm sorry Ashley for making this about me." I go to open my mouth to say it's 'ok' but he continues before I get a chance too. "You must have had something to tell me and that's why you called." I start nibbling the bottom of my lip.
I clear my throat and get comfortable in the chair while tugging at the bottom of my white beater."Well si- Arthur." I breathe out rubbing the back of my neck. "Spence and I are"
"More than friends." He finishes my sentence and I can breathe again.
"Yes." I smile nervously. "Did she tell you?" He shakes his head 'no' with a wide smile across his face. I feel relieved when I see the wide smile that spreads across his face. "You're not mad?" I ask wringing my fingers.
"Of course not." He chuckles then coughs."When Spence mentioned you as her roommate." He does air quotes."The look in her eyes told me the truth."
"Was this call for my approval? Because I approve of anyone who makes my waffle's eyes light up the way you do." He smiles and I do the same. "Just protect my little girl's heart."
"I will always protect your daughter's heart, body and soul." He nods in approval.
End of flash back
I let out a sigh putting the object back into my purse.I don't know how I got to my front door. I take a sharp breath and wipe my hands on my Nike sweat pants. I open the door and see Spence's face filled with appreciation. Oh yeah that's why I'm here. She walks over to me hugging my neck but my hands are stuck by my side.
"My hero." She pulls back looking at me with teary eyes.
"Text me, tweet me, if you wanna to reach me." I give a weak smile.
I look at the three blondes staring at me with different expression. I point in the direction of my room and head there.
I take an ice cold shower trying to cool my nerves down. I feel comfort when the icy water falls against my hot skin. Once I'm out I change into something simple. A sleeveless Prada zebra shirt with ruffles on the bottom with navy blue fitted D&G pants with Betsey Johnson six inch red pumps and matching red lip stick . I pin my hair up in a 1940's hair style with two large curls that meet in the middle forming a heart with French roll in the back. I wrap a red Coach scarf around the French roll.
I walk out of the room catching Spence eyeing me and I smirk before I notice Debbie eyeing me too. I look at her stank and she quickly turns around. I walk past the three blondes grabbing my keys out my purse.
"Would you ladies like to go have some fun?" I say turning around to them not facing any of them in particular.
"She is much better at showing a girl a good time." Debbie throws one fist in the air sticking her tongue out and I want to throw my keys at her face. I give a small smile and begin to walk out the door and the three blondes follow suit.
We make it to Long beach in no time. Everyone has step out the car a while ago and I am trying to catch my breath. I have been trying to catch it the whole drive here. I finally step out the car and make my way over to the three blondes.
"What is this place?" Debbie asks wide eyed staring at all the lights lighting up the stores, and restaurants. Not to mention the giant glowing Ferris wheel and boats along the peer.
"This is the Pike aka Rainbow Harbor." She quirks a brow and I just smirk.
"Where are we going first?" She asks as we take a step out of the parking lot.
I turn to her biting the inside of my lip trying to hold my tongue."Well if you continue to follow me out the lot…you'll see."
"Boring." She says in a singing tone rolling her eyes, crossing her arms, and then taps her foot.
Seriously, how old is she? Two? I roll my eyes and continue to lead the way.
"We're here!" I toss my hand above my head. "whooo!" I wave my arms as I step in the store.
"Seriously a book store?" Debbie smacks her lips.
"Ignorance might be bliss but knowledge is power." I smirk waking further into the book store.
I spin around looking at the wall to wall books for a dollar in the two story store. They have cookbooks, business books, children books, horror, romance, etc. It's every bookworm's dream.
"So you are telling me everything in this store is a dollar?" Clapping my hands in excitement I ask the salesman who has the driest look on his face.
"Yes ma." He says in an even dryer tone sounding like the 'dry red eyes guy' from the eye wash commercials.
I bite my bottom lip before rushing over to the poetry section grabbing Poe, Shakespeare, Lock, Walker, Pac, and many more. I have all of these on my Kindle, but nothing beats snuggling up to a good book before falling asleep with it on your chest.
The mother and daughter blonde have found some psychology books that they have taken a liking to but ole sour puss Debbie is standing in the same spot she started by the door, arms crossed, rolling her eyes. I shake my head at the sad sight of bad parenting because clearly this chick didn't get enough ass whooping growing up. well I can change-
"Ashley.' I'm taken out my thoughts by Paula.
I turn around rolling my eyes before facing her. "Yes."
"I'm surprise you would shop at a place like this." I arch a brow for her to continue. "I mean the clothed and shoes you were are expensive-"
"I believe in the finer things and that being said not all fine things are expensive." She nods in understanding.
We walk over to the cashiers and make our purchase, well everyone except Debbie, then we walk out. I volunteer to put all the bags in the car not trusting Paula to do it after last time then head back to the group for our second part of the day.
We walk inside the two large glass doors where we see wall to wall lights from the video games, glow in the dark bowling lanes upstares with bar and restaurant. I love KDB.
"Now this is more like it." Debbie smirks as she lets her eyes take a tour of the place. I go over to the front desk handing the attendant two hundred dollars for four cards with forty nine dollars deducting the one dollar new card fee on each.
I sit at the bar as the blondes scurry to play a few games. I order my favorite…a Midori Sour. I enjoy the mix of sweet cotton candy, sour apple, with a hint of Sprite playing on my tongue.
I continue sucking air threw my strew seeing as my drink is all gone. I place one finger up signaling for another as I take my cherry out rolling it on my tongue before sucking it.
The bartender places my drink in front of me before leaning on the counter as she watches me continue to suck the cherry. I quirk a brow at her before biting my cherry.
"Do you always watch your customers?"
"Only when they're are as sexy as you."She smirks sporting her dimples that are pierced. I shake my head and start to drink.
She flips her blonde curly hair that falls to the side of her shoulder as she tilts her head." Why is someone as beautiful as you alone at a bar?" I smirk.
"Ashley." As if right on cue Spence comes up to me with a worried look which gets worse as she looks between me and the woman. "Are you going to come play some games with us?" She gives me a pleading smile I don't know if that's for the games or getting away from the bartender who hasn't averted her glaze even with Spence standing here.
I continue to sip.
"Ashley." She gently runs her fingers across my arm. I look at her action then up into her sad blue eyes. "Please?" She gives a weak smile and I soften a little.
I sip some more. "Let me finish my drink and I'll be there." She nods and stares at the bartender who's smirking at me.
Once I'm finish I let out a heavy sigh before walking towards the blondes.
"No Deal, Oh God!" I nibble my thumb nervously as I wait for Spence to push the white button.
Spence seems nervous because of me and the two unwanted guests yelling at her from different directions. She's on the stool and we're all around her closing her in.
I lick my lips slowly leaning in closer to the game as she pick case number three.
"Ugh!" I clenched my fist at the one hundred ticket case no longer in play. "It's ok; we still have the two hundred and four hundred case." I start clapping my hands."Let's go!"All three blondes look at me."Omg Spence! Pick a case." She turns around back to the game startled at my outburst. But come on, you only get ten seconds before the game choices for you. No time to keep calm.
We all let out sighs of relief when she picks the one dollar case.
I can't breathe. Really, I have stop breathing as I stare at the screen with two cases in play…Spence and the show girl. Only numbers on the board is five and four hundred tickets. Spence turned down the two hundred ticket deal. Boy would it suck if she has only five tickets in her case.
"Aaaaaah!" I jump up with a fist pump."You won!"
I grab both her hands in mine pulling her off the stool and we jump up and down as we face each other. I remember I'm mad at her and clear my throat removing my hands from hers. I rub my hands on my pants smoothing out no wrinkles in the process.
"Spencer honey." Paula waves her daughter over to the pinball machine. Spence gives a small smile and turns to walk towards her mother and an annoyed looking Debbie. I go to follow but am stop by a familiar voice.
"Hey sexy" I turn around to her bright blue eyes.
"Are you stalking me?" I say to the flirty bartender from earlier.
She slides her tongue from the corner of her mouth to the bottom of her lip to the next corner. She looks me up and down and smirks.
"Mmmm… I might consider being your stalker." I lean back to giggle before feeling Spencer eyes burning into my back. I clear my throat. "I actually came over here to bring you your drink."
"I didn't order another drink." I quirk a brow at her.
"This is on the house." She leans in closer. "Since you looked so good drinking it earlier." She hands me the Midori Sour on a napkin. She flips her luscious hair before swaying her hips as she walks away.
I go to sip my drink noticing the napkin has writing on it. I go to read it 'Call me maybe. Kelly.' I smile shaking my head at the new blonde.
"What was that all about?" Spence questions as I walk over to her and I shrug my shoulders placing the napkin into my pocket.
"What game do you want to play next?" I sip my drink.
We decide to play air hockey…wrong move because I am a beast at this game. We found an awesome four player table that shoots four pucks at a time. Spence and I are on teams against Debbie and Paula. This game is making me feel something I haven't felt in the last five days…joy.
"Aahh!" I scream turning to the side as I block the puck.
Debbie shoots a puck and I slide across the left side bumping into Spence in the process hitting the puck hard. Paula blocks it and hits all weak making it get stuck in the middle of the table and none of us can reach it. Ugh! I hate when it does that. I dive on the table stomach first with my legs in the air as I shoot the puck back to them scoring in the process.
"Is it that serious?" Debbie mumbles out the side of her mouth.
"Hell yeah." I weave both hands in the air.
I step back position myself placing one foot back from the table and the other one behind me to hold my balance. I slide the tip of my tongue across my top lip and I swear I seen Debbie smirk…eww.
I am ready for the next hit. The game is tied six to six just one more point for either team to win and I want this. This win is more than a game it's the win of this whole fucked up situation. Debbie shoots and I swing my arm knocking the puck and losing my grip on my shooter. They both fly full force the puck hitting Debbie while the shooter hits Paula in the face. I bite hard on my lip trying to hold back a laugh while Spence places both hands over her mouth in shock.
Paula and Debbie end up winning the game but after hitting two blondes with one shot I couldn't care less.
Were now sitting at the karaoke section of KDB by the bowling alley waiting for my name to be called, in an awkward silence I might add. I guess after air hockey everyone thought that was enough games for tonight. None of them really wanted to sign up to sing or be here, but I'm going to do what I want to do.
"Ashley Davies." The host calls and when I stand up she smirks at me. I take the mic and smirk back. I cover the mic and lean close to her and whisper.
"You're sure you're not stalking me?" I raise a brow.
"No, I am just a woman of many talents so I work all areas." She licks her lips. "But stalking isn't so bad because at least I know your name now." I bite my bottom lip and she turns around and blushes.
I turn back to the audience which included Debbie sporting the same annoyed face she's been wearing all day, Paula still trying to read me, and Spence looking pissed. I clear my throat and place the mic to my lips letting the melody do its thing as I sway to the music. I can't sing so I picked a fun funny song.
I took her out it was a Friday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
We started making out and she took of my pants.
I rub my hands down my pants.
But then I turn the TV. That's about she walked from me.
I lean the Mic down as I lean into it and all the drunks cheer.
Then later on, on the way home I called her mom from the payphone
Said I was the cops and your husband's in jail the state looks down on sodomy. That's about the time that bitch…
I stare right at Paula.
Hung up on me.
I start whipping my my song none of the blondes would look at me and that is more than fine with me. Paula has a disgusted look on her face. Debbie's face hasn't changed and Spence's face is a mixture of hurt and anger. We're at the ticket counter adding Spence's winning tickets to her game card.
"I'll pull the car up front." I say to no one in particular but everyone at the same time. They all ignore me and I go retrieve the car.
The three blondes walk to the car with Debbie holding an X-box.
"Ummm where did you get that from?" I narrow my eyes at Debbie in the rear view mirror when she gets in.
"I got it from the game attendennt." She rolls her eyes.
"But you didn't play any games where you could win tickets and even if you did you would had to redeem five thousand to win that."
"Seven thousand." She corrects and I want to slap the shit out of her. "Spencer let me use her tickets." I look at Spence who looks out the window trying to avoid my stare.
That's not like Spence. She has been saving her tickets since…
2 years earlier
"What are we doing here?" She gives me a wide grin as she looks at all the lights from the games in the room.
"Well since you put up with me and all my shopping today I thought a few games would ease your nerves." I smirk at her and she caresses my cheek with the back of her finger. I take her hand turning it over to kiss the inside of her palm.
I pull her towards me turning her around placing my front to her back as I hold her by the waist. I kiss up her neck stopping at her earlobe before sliding it in my mouth with my tongue. She moans at the contact.
I place my chin on her shoulder. "So what games do you want to play?" I can hear her lips part into a smile.
"You are such a tease Ms. Davies." I slide my hand to her second pair a lips and cup it. She inhales and tenses a little. I whisper closer to her ear.
"I'll please you later Mrs. Davies." She melts into my hand and I can feel her wetness.
We spend the rest of our night playing 'House of the Dead,' The Simpson game, Pac- Man, pin ball, air hockey, and then a lot of games to win tickets.
"How many tickets did you win?" I ask her as she adds them on her game card.
"I won a two thousand tickets baby." She pecks my lips.
"That's what five hours and three hounded dollars will get you." I smirk. "But the smile on your face… priceless." She walks up to me places both hands on both sides of my face taking my bottom lip into her mouth and begins sucking on it.
I place my hand between us before sliding it into her pants and panties. I feel her get wet with every stroke of my finger tips and the feeling makes me forget about everyone around us. I feel comfortable doing this since it's only twenty one and older here. I only hold off on the PDA in front of kids and old folks…poet's code and all.
She moans against my lips making everything in me buzz. I reach up to the top of her back with my other hand before scratching down it. She grinds into my fingers and I rub harder. She breaks the kiss and I whimper never moving my hand or stopping my motion .She gives me a few quick pecks.
"Let's get out of here." She smirks removing my hand to suck the juices off my fingers one by one and I feel my whole body shiver on the inside.
She intertwines her fingers with mine and turns to guide me out the door.
"Wait I pull her back." She stops looking at me to continue.
"You didn't cash in your tickets." She smiles looking at her shoe as she swings our hands.
"I know." She looks back at me. "I want to save them. It's like saving the memory until I want to spend them on something special." She shrugs and I kiss her.
End of flash back
"Can we go?" Debbie spits out.
I shake my head before setting the car in drive and heading to the house.
We're back at the house getting ready for bed. Paula is taking a shower and Debbie is looking through her bag for PJs.
"I can't find anything. Where's your room?" Spence points to the room we once shared.
Debbie comes out with one of Clay's old shirts that he gave Spence when he went to College so she wouldn't miss him so much. This is Spence's favorite sleep shirt and I know Debbie knows this since she was around during that time. Debbie walks in the bathroom as Paula walks out.
"Hey, isn't that Clay's old Shirt?" Paula asks Spence and I put my hands on my hips waiting for Spence to answer.
"Yes, it's fine." She says trying to wave it off but her face is saying something else.
"Ok, I'll see you in bed." Paula says doubtful as walks to the room.
Wait… did she just say I'll see you in the bed? I cross my arms and look at Spence who must have read my thoughts.
"Yeah…" She giggles nervously. "Is it okay if Debbie takes your room?" She nibbles her bottom lip.
"Excuse me?' I narrow my eyes at her. "I thought we would share a room and blonde one and blonde two would share the other."
"Debbie likes to sleep alone and I know you don't want to sleep in a room with me and my mother." She says nervously locking her fingers together.
"Oh it's about what Debbie wants?!" I shout and she tries to shush me. "Don't shush me?" I walk around the couch. "Where am I supposed to sleep?" She eyes the couch and I shake my head.
I flop down on it raising my hand as soon as she opens her mouth not wanting to hear what else she has to say. She goes in the room as we both wait for our turn to shower.
Ugh! I slap my palm against my forehead. I did not think of this when I decided to come back. I lie back on the couch releasing a sharp breath. I put my hand in my pocket feeling the napkin and I take it out. I stare at the number for a while before deciding to store it in my phone. I sigh again putting the napkin back where I retrieved it.
After Debbie exits the bathroom I pass her to take my shower. It's eleven o'clock at night and I can't sleep but everyone else can. I grab my phone off the table lying on my side deciding to send a text message.
Hey this is Ash ;)
Second set of blues: Got you lock and loaded…sexy ;) I shake my head at how cheesy that was.
What are you doing up?
Second set of blues: Waiting for you to text me (bites lips).
I shake my head. I usually don't text anyone for the first time meeting them this late, but I know KDB doesn't close until two so I figure she'd still be at work. What am I saying? I haven't texted another girl who wasn't Spence or Chelse for the last three years.
I let out a sigh. What am I doing?
Kelly and Spence look very different but her blonde hair and blue eyes makes me feel comfortable around her. Things between Spence and I are so messed up and being around Kelly is just…easy. I bite my lip. I can't do this. Because little things like this lead into big things and I don't want those things.
"Hey?" I jump up startled by Spence as she sits next to me and I sit up. "I know we're not really on speaking terms but-"She nibbles her lip.
I slide my phone in my pocket looking guilty as hell and she looks at me with worried eyes. I place my hand to the back of my neck and rub it.
"Sooo?" I give a small smile.
"I wanted to thank you for coming back." She looks at her hands.
"I already broke a promise to myself I didn't want to break one to your dad too."
"Wait my dad, when did you talk to my dad?" She asks confused.
Oh crap. I close my eyes trying to think of how I'm going to tell her. I been keeping this from her for two years and six months. I bite my lip.
"The night we made it official I used your laptop to tell your dad how I would always take care of you." I smiled at the simpler times.
"Why couldn't you just tell me that Ash?"She asks harshly.
"Well that night when I talked to him he confided in me."
"Confided in you about what?!" She stands up.
"About him being sick." I say softly and her face drops. "I knew if I said anything about that night I would tell you about his illness, so I said nothing." I breathe out.
"How could you keep this from me?" She shakes her head as the tears run down her cheeks. All this time you knew?" Her voice fails her.
"You're one to talk about keeping her secrets!" Her mouth drops and I close my eyes taking in a deep breath. "I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you but he kept saying he wanted to tell you himself." I hold my breath
"Kept saying? You talked to him more than once?" Her voice cracks even more.
"Once a week." I give a small smile and she shakes her head in disbelief. "He hadn't told anyone yet, so I wanted to be there for him."
"I'm his daughter. I'm supposed to be there for him." She spits."Beside you knew how bad I felt about never telling him about you and all this time he knew?" Now it's my turn to stand up.
"It's not my fault you kept me a secret until it was too late." I say harshly. She shakes her head.
"You always going on about how you feel sad you never met him when you actually have." I bite my lip in frustration.
"Yeah, I feel sad I never got to meet the man you talked about…bright eye and bushy tailed." I shake my head. The man I met was in a lot of pain and a shell of the one you spoke about." Tears are falling fiercely down both our cheeks.
"I can't." She shakes her head holding up her hands before storming away slamming the door behind her.
I bang on the bedroom door. "Spence you can't just walk away from me, we need to talk about this!" she opens the door.
"Ash you're going to wake up my mom."
"I don't give a damn." I spit.
"What's going on?" Paula sits up.
"Nothing. Go back to bed." Spence says softly before turning back to me with pleading eyes.
I groan in frustration throwing my hands up before turning around back to the couch. I lie back down grabbing the pillow placing it over my face before screaming into it. I put it back behind my head and slam back into it over and over again until I hear the beeping noise from my phone alerting me that I have a text message. I grab it off the table and open the screen to read it.
Second set of blues: Damn did you fall asleep on me sexy? Mmmm I hope you dream about me…wet dreams maybe? Because I'm wide awake and wet for you. I smirk at the text and put the phone back on the table.
Easy…
I close my eyes letting sleep have its way with me.
