Chapter 11
The rest of the flight didn't involve any special happenings so when they stepped out of the airport building, they went to Ashley's car. When Ashley drove off Spencer smiled happy. "Why are you grinning like this?" Ashley asked. "I don't know, new friends, new job, feels good" Spencer answered and smiled at the brunette.
When they reached Spencer's flat it was past 12 o'clock. "Okay, so I'll see ya tomorrow. We have to be at the office at 11 o'clock, a special rule for those who've been on biz travel." Ashley said. Spencer nodded and got out of the car. After she got her suitcase she winked at the brunette and the car drove of.
When Spencer opened the door to the flat she could see that the TV was running. She put her things into her room and walked into the living room. "Hey Max." Max looked up and smiled. "Spency, hey, how are you? We've already missed you, the morning today was a total mess, Carmen and I were totally too late for work and hungry too. We couldn't make it any other day without you so Carmen is now at Kyla's." Spencer laughed. "Hello to you too, Maxiking. I'm good thanks, and you seem fine too." Max nodded.
"There are some leftovers in the fridge if you are hungry..."
"Max, it's 1 o'clock in the morning."
"So? It's never too late for pizza, right?" Max said and grinned.
"Alright then, do you want some too?"
"Of course honey!"
Spencer walked into the kitchen and warmed the pizza up. Then she went back to the living room and sat next to Max on the couch. "So tell me, how were things with Ashley?" Spencer started to tell him everything. She told him about Ashley, about meeting Alex and Marissa, about meeting the band, about Ashley being the hottest bitch on earth, about the band, about Lexa and about Ashley.
When she finished it was 3.30 in the morning. Max was lucky that it was Wednesday so he didn't have to work, but Spencer was really tired now. She fell into her bed and fell asleep immediatelly and a certain brunette were in the back of her mind.
"Spencer!" The blonds eyes shot open and for a moment everything went black. She buried her head into the pillow. "Spencey!" a soft voice whispered into her ear. "What" Spencer mumbled. "I got you muffins." Spencer turned her head and saw Carmen sitting next to her on her bed and Kyla standing in front of her. "Did I oversleep?" the blond asked, slightly scared. Kyla chuckled "No, I just wanted to come with Carmen and ask your how your first biz trip was..." "Oh", Spencer said and sat up, leaning against the wall. "It was actually great, Ash-ley and I got along very well, and the new band is really hot."
Kyla sat down on the bed too. Spencer was between the two brunettes with muffins in her legs. "Yeah, about the SONs, you wanna come to the airport with me? I want to pick them up, you know. We have to be there in about 2 hours." Spencer agreed and got up from the bed. "Oh and Carmen, I forgive you this time because of the muffins, but if you wake me up this rough once again, I swear... something terrible will happen!!" All what Carmen had to say to that was actually nothing, she just stuck out her tongue and grinned.
An hour later Spencer, Max, Carmen and Kyla sat on the couch at the living room, drinking coffee and listening to Max' plans for the weekend. "So Aid and I decided to cook for you guys, I just have to know who will be there." The girls assured him that they won't miss it and Kyla was pretty sure that Ashley also would come.
"Max, can I ask you something?" Kyla started carefully. "Of course" the boy said. "The thing between you and Aiden? What's that? I mean I don't know if Aiden is gay? I mean I was pretty sure, that he was straight, he nearly dated the whole high school and also in college he had only girls...as far as I know." Max nodded.
"Yeah, I thought about it, I'm not sure, what it is. Sometimes we have those moments, you know, where you are pretty sure the other person wants to kiss you as much as you would like to kiss him but you don't want to screw up so you just laugh and everything is awkward for a moment. That happens all the time, I just want to give this whole thing time to envelope, we'll see where we'll get."
The girls smiled. Max had a strange look on his face when he remembered "those moments" with eyed. Some of us would describe it as "being madly in love" but for now...let's call it strange ;). Kyla looked at her mobile and sighed. "Spencer we got to go." "Alright" Spencer said and stood up. "We will meet at 5 at the Davies Mansion" Kyla ordered with a smiled. "Bye honey" Max said and gave her a hug, then he turned to Spencer and also put his arms around her, while Kyla and Carmen said goodbye in their own sweet annoying kissing language.
An hour later Lexa and Spencer hugged each other tight. "I'm so glad you're here. One "normal person" Spencer said, when the brunette realised her. Lexa smiled and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek. "Who knows...maybe I'm crazier than you think." she said with a wide grin. Then Spencer introduced Kyla to the band members and they drove back to the office.
Jack, Bill, Melanie and Lexa were really excited, when Aiden invited them into his office and showed them the contracts. He and Spencer explained them once more how it will go with the promoting and stuff and they signed. "We have to celebrate this!" Melanie said excited. Kyla smiled and said "Well, I thought about meeting at five at the Davies Mansion. That's were Ashley, Aiden and me live and then we can hit some club. I've already reserved hotel rooms for you. One for the boys and one for you and Lexa, I hope this is alright."
The SONs were nearly speechless. Everbody always told them how arrogant the producers and such higher animals were, but this Woods was just unbelievable nice, Dennison was just charming and he totally made them feel comfortably, just Ash was a little bit how they expected them to be.
"So I that you have some time, Spencer, to show our guests around. Kyla, I'm sure I already have some clubs in mind where they can have gig and, yeah that's it for now." Aiden said, and picked up the ringing phone.
"Oh my god, L.A. Is so great, let's hit the beach guys, I'm sure there are some hot lesbians around, and of course some straight girls" Melanie added when she saw the looks of the boys. They agreed and Spencer led them to the beach.
Jack and Bill and also Melanie jumped into the waves immediately. They had the shorts and bikini already under the clothes, only Lexa stayed at Spencer's side, who didn't wanted to go swimming. "You don't like swimming?" the blonde asked her. "Well I like swimming but I like sitting next to you more." Lexa grinned and Spencer blushed, which made the brunette laugh.
Suddenly a wet body pressed itself against Spencer, who squeaked. "Hey guys!" a husky voice said. "Hello Ashley" Lexa said, while Spencer was still in shock. The brunettes laughed at the blond who looked in disbelieve at Ashley.
"Well, how about I invite you guys for lunch?" the girl with the surf board lying next to her said. "That would be really nice of you. We just have to get Mel and the boys out of the water, oh wait, they are coming!" Lexa said and waved them.
The hotel where the band was staying at wasn't far from the beach so the groupie walked there and the guys could change, Ashley had her clothes in her bag and also put on a skirt an a t-shirt in Mel's room.
They went to a little Italien restaurant near the hotel and ordered pasta and pizza. Of course Ashley noticed the familiar converse between Spencer and Lexa. Melanie tried to talk to her, seeing how much Spencer enjoyed some time without thinking about Ashley. But the brunette wouldn't even look at her.
After lunch Spencer wanted to show Lexa Carmen's studio, where the girl made amazing paintings, and since the brunette was very interested in art and Spencer had a key for the room, she invited her. Mel and the boys decided to get some surf boards and hit the waves.
Ashley decided to join them. Jack was flirting with her a lot and she enjoyed the rare jealous looks of Spencer. But the looks the blonde gave Lexa did bother the brunette somehow. All the laughing and touching, that was so unnecessary so before the two woman left, Ashley asked Spencer to talk about something private.
"Spencer, we talked about it. It's so unprofessional, all this flirting with Lexa, it's okay to be friends with them, but they are a job" Ashley said. The blond groaned. "Ashley, we had this. I really like Lexa, they all are friends now, and Kyla, you and Aiden are my job too and I still can be friends with you and stuff. Just stop being like this, it won't hurt anybody...if there was something more than friendship."
Ashley put her hand on Spencer's shoulder. "Okay, you right, you can be friends with me, Kyla and everybody else, but it's not good to fall in love with somebody you have to work with. No matter if it's me, or Lexa or someone else. And to be honest, you could do better!" Ashley ended and went off. Spencer just looked after her, not knowing what to think of what have been said.
If she thought about it, it sounded like Ashley was really jealous.
At Carmen's studio Lexa admired the works of Spencer's friend. "She's really talented!" she said. The blonde smiled and watched the younger girl looking at a painting where Carmen had painted her. The brunette had asked Spencer to undress, and when she was finished with the picture, she had just drawn Spencer's head. "You know, I just wanted to see you naked." she had said. It was about two weeks after they met.
" You...uhm...you wanna paint something?" Spencer asked. Lexa turned back to her and smiled "If it's ok..I think I've just got a very interesting idea." The blonde laughed. "I don't know if that is such a good think if an artist says that..."
Spencer enjoyed watching the brunette painting. The smoth movements of her hand, the concentrated look on her face, she was in her own world and Spencer love this side of the girl. Being fully in her element.
After an hour Lexa allowed Spencer to see the drawing. She had used chalk and caol and had drawn an angel or to Spencer in a white robe with wings. "This is beautiful" Spencer whispered. "You are" Lexa said and her face was suddenly very close to Spencer's.
This was too much for Spencer, suddenly the soft green eyes of Lexa turned into the fiery eyes of an other certain brunette. Spencer took a step back and laughed nervously. "Uhm...thanks...you know, for the compliment...uhm...let's grab some coffee or something shell we?" Lexa nodded, Spencer could tell that the other girl was as confused as her.
A few minutes later they sat in a little cafe and an uncomfortable silence was between them. "Spencer I'm sorry! I don't know what I was thinking..."Lexa said softly. Spencer smiled slightly. "It's okay I guess...but do you know now why you wanted to kiss me? I'm sorry too if this question sounds rude or something...I don't mean to be!" Lexa laughed. "God, that's okay. Well you are beautiful, you know, I didn't lie and I really really liked you but it's not love, I think...no I know that it's not love because..."
"I kissed a girl and I liked it..." Spencer took out her phone. "Hey Ash" she said. She was sure that if this woman called it must be something important. "Is Lexa with you? She didn't get sent to a boarding school, hit by a bus or ran over by a plane, right?"
"No Ash, Lexa is right next to me and in good health" Spencer said amused. Lexa looked confused."Well...I girl can still hope right. Okay, so what I wanted to say was that we will meet at my place and celebrate there, because the club Kyla had in mind burned down and I know this really hot DJ. So party at 6 at mine, okay?" Ashley said. Spencer told her that she and Lexa would be there and put the phone back into her bag.
"Iminlovewithmel" Lexa said when Spencer looked at her again. The blond looked at the brunette. "What?" "I am in love with the greatest slut of New York" Spencer couldn't think of anything else than: "So am I... kinda, she's the greatest bitch in L.A." They fell in silence again until Spencer couldn't hold it anymore. First a smile spread on her face and the she started to giggle, soon both of the girls were laughing so hard that the other guests were looking at them.
"So...we just had a moment or something, right?" Spencer asked carefully still out of breath. Lexa nodded. "You attract people in general. I mean you can't tell me that your friend Carmen never came on to you. You are beautiful, nice, funny and absolutely gorgeous, how couldn't I be attracted to you? But love is not what I feel for you, my heart has been stolen by an other girl you cares a shit..." Lexa said. Spencer was busy with blushing but still took the hand of the other girl in hers. "Have you ever talked with Melanie about your feelings?"
"No! Well I guess I have to tell you tha story then. Okay, so Mel and I were really good friends and then we found out that we are gay blahblahblah and we had something with each other. Kissing, holding hands and things like that, and then somewhere, somehow, somewhen I fell in love with her. I kinda told her and she completely stopped doing...what we were doing. For her it was all just fun, she wanted to be a rock star and she couldn't see herself in a relationship. Especially not with me, the biggest nerd at high school. So she tried to ignore me, but since I promised to be there for her, no matter what, we tried to be friends again. And it worked out...somehow. It still hurts to see her making out with other girls, to hear her talking about her last one night stand but it's okay, I'm her friend."
Spencer could see the pain in the other girl's eyes. "So you fear to be rejected once more?" Lexa just nodded. The blond softly patted the brunette's hand and intwirled their fingers.
"Oh my god, don't tell me you two are..." Ashley didn't even finished the sentence. She looked at the hands of the two girls and faked a disgusted look. Spencer and Lexa took their hands off of the table immediately. "Lesbians at home, Lesbians at the cafe jesus, did we run out of boys or what?" Ashley muttered when she went by the girls to the counter. She ordered a coffee and a doughnut.
After she had got everything the brunette stormed out of the cafe, still muttering things. Lexa and Spencer looked at each other and laughed. "Shit it's four o'clock! I should get a shower and unpack and everything" the younger girl said. The blonde nodded and after they paid their ways parted.
Spencer went home, took a shower and looked for something to wear. It was a party, so it would be hard to be overdressed so she looked for a nice dress to wear. A light blue simply little dress made her smile and decided to wear it. Carmen and Max had forced her to buy it because of the new job and the possible parties. The dress matched to Spencer's eyes perfectly. And also the blond her, which she curled slightly fit perfectly. She put on some dark mascara and put some natural make up on. Because of the eyeliner her eyes seem to sparkle like a cloudless sky in the night.
Tonight, who knows, she'd get a dance with Ashley, maybe without too much alcohol influence. This was the goal for tonight, and even if Spencer where shy and sometimes maybe naïve, if she really wanted something, she always would get it! She was young, hot, talented and so gay, who she was? She was Spiderman...shit wrong movie, uhm...Spencer Carlin!
At 5.40 the blond stood in front of the Davies Mansion and rang the bell. As always Kyla opened the door and she froze before she even said a "Hello". She looked at Spencer, up and down, and from the toes back to the head. "Oh my god", she whispered. She turned her head and screamed "Carmen!" The other brunette came instantly and when she saw who stood in front of her her jaw nearly hit the floor. "Oh my god." she whispered. "No I'm not god, I'm Spencer! May I come in?" Spencer asked, smiling.
The brunettes just nodded and the blonde walked past them. "Do I look so bad" Spencer asked, shy and not so self confident anymore. "Are you fuckin kidding me? IF I weren't taken, and you weren't by best friend I'd so be drooling over you. Okay scratch that, I'm just not all over you because I'm taken." Carmen said and her mouth still hung open. Kyla chuckled, gently closed the mouth of her girlfriend and said "Honey, you are drooling." She and Spencer laughed and went into the kitchen where Aiden and Max where making some cocktails.
"Spencer, you have to tell me everything that happened in New York!" Carmen said. Spencer nodded and asked if they could go outside. The took some glasses of water with them and went outside to the pool. "You can come too" Spencer had offered to Kyla, who smiled and went after them.
At 6 o'clock the SONs stood in front of the door and a few minutes later Ashley entered the room. When she saw Spencer, her reaction was similar to Kyla's and Carmen's, but she could hide it better than the other girls. "Nice dress" she just said and went to Jack who gave her a beer.
Lexa acted pretty much like Carmen, and was flirting with Spencer more than ever. And then the blonde noticed something that made her smile. Melanie watched the two of them. Not lie someone who's curiouse, no, she looked like someone who was ready to step in if the situation would get too hot. She looked like a lion who wasn't sure if the animal in front of her was enemy or a "friend".
So Spencer decided to play to oldest game ever. She took Lexa's hands and led her into the living room, where the dance floor was. The house was full of people but on the dance floor weren't many of them. There where Glen and Madison, Alex and Marissa, Ashley who tried to dance with Jack, Carmen and Kyla and now Spencer and Lexa.
The blond pulled the other girl closer. "Let's see what she's going to do, if I take you away from her." Spencer grinned. They were dancing very hot. Soon the people stood around them and not just Melanie's look had turned into pure jealousy. Ashley, who had the same strange feeling inside her stomach decided to do something against it and grabbed Jack. She started to kiss him and the boy seemed in heaven.
To see Ashley making out was this boy, made Spencer angry, sad and jealous. She had to get out of there just for a moment. She pushed Lexa into Mel's arms. "Work it out!" She shouted over the music and walked to the bar. She grabbed a whole bottle of whiskey and went outside.
Around the pool were just a few couples and the atmosphäre was relaxed and quiet. Spencer sat behind the pool house and opened the bottle. She wasn't a drinker and when she had once tried to drink away her pain she ended in hospital, and decided to never to that again.
But now, it hurt so much, and a little bit couldn't harm right? So she took the first sip.
Inside the house Carmen held Kyla in her arms. They danced to a very slowly song and suddenly the shorter brunette could feel something wet on her shoulder. Kyla pulled back a bit. "Honey, are you crying?" Carmen looked at her and another tear feel down her face. "Hey, what's wrong?" Kyla asked, wiping the tears gently away.
"You are so beautiful. Kyla, you are the best thing that ever happened to me. I ..I love you. And I know this sounds cheesy but I feel so weak when I'm with you and that feels so damn good. It's just the way you make me feel, I wake up in the morning and feel you body next to mine, and there is nothing more amazing than you, just you sleeping, I could cry because you look so innocent. I'm sorry, but I actually really really bad with words and I'm not ..." Carmen couldn't say more, Kylas lips chaptured hers. "I love you too, honey!" she whispered.
Jack and Ashley where in the brunette's bedroom. His hands were all over her body and suddenly she had to think about blue eyes. Blue eyes, sparkling and shimering like a clear sky in the night, eyes, as deep as the ocean and as warm as the summer. "Spencer"Ashley whispered. Jack didn't noticed it. "Jack stop!"the brunette said, confused about herself and this certain blonde.
"What's wrong, baby, don't you like it?" Jack asked not just a little bit disappointed. "It's just, I can't, okay, it's nothing personal..." Ashley said and got up. What the hell was wrong with her? In this moment she hated Spencer, for all the things the blonde made her feel. She had to talk about this – so she went downstairs to look for Kyla.
"Shit, I have to stop" Spencer thought as she looked at the bottle. The half of it was empty (Let's think pessimistic, since we are depressed...). The blonde tried to stand up, but she succeeded not until she tried once more. She stumbled back to the pool. When she looked at her mobile she saw that it was already 2 o'clock and the most guests were inside, since it got pretty gold outside. "Shit Carlin, you are so pathetic" Spencer thought and slowly began to walk around the pool.
At the same time Ashley found Kyla still dancing with Carmen. She watched the two of them for a bit. They really looked beautiful together. "Kyla", Ashley said, and softly put her hand on her sister's shoulder. The brunettes dissolved their embrace. "Ky, I have to talk to you. It's because of Spencer" Ashley said.
"What happened?" Kyla asked immediately worried. "Nothing I haven't seen her all night, I just have to..." She saw Carmen's eyes widen. "What?" Ashley asked. "We haven't seen her too? We thought she might be with Lexa but I can see her with this Melanie..."
"I'm so fuckin sad, falling in love with a straight bitch, who doesn't even care a bit for me" Spencer thought and a tears were in her eyes. Suddenly she tripped over something. She never felt the pain because of the collision of her head with the edge of the pool. And nobody else heard the splash of the water...
"Shit were is she?" Carmen asked, looking around. Kyla had asked Lexa and Mel and Ashley just went to Jack. "Jack have you seen Spencer?" She asked, scared and worried. "Hm... I've seen her a while ago grabbing a bottle of vodka or whiskey but I don't know where she's gone" he said. "Why?" But he didn't got any answer.
Ashley ran outside. "Spencer!!" She screamed, but there was no answer. Then she saw her, under the water, lifeless. "Oh my god" Ashley thought and took a deep breath. She jumped into the water and pulled the blond up. "Spencer!!" she shouted. "Fuck!" She called for Kyla, Aiden and Carmen and the others. Jack was the first one who heard her. He brought Aiden and Max with him. "It's Spencer" Ashley cried and for the first time in her life she didn't care. She brought her hand to the back of Spencer's head. "Aid, she's bleeding!"
Aiden immediately called the ambulance and Carmen and Max attempted CPR. The ambulance came a few minutes later and Spencer's two best friends climbed in after the medics had taken her into the vehicle. Kyla tried to calm Ashley down who was completely shocked. "I did this to her" she whispered again and again. Her sister hugged her tightly and tried to comfort her.
After the two had dismissed all the guests and promised Lexa to call if they heard something they went to Ashley's car and drove to the hospital.
A/N:
1. Okay that's it...I'd love to hear how you think about it...
2. I'm sorry I just couldn't make Lexa the reason why Spencer and Ashley can't be together soon... I like her way to much...sorry!
3. My questions: 1. How do you think about jealousy? Have you ever been jealous?...May I ask why? And what do you think about drinking problems away?
My answeres: I think a little bit jealousy is not bad, it shows that a person really cares for you but I think it's sick to be overjealouse or somethin and jealousy in relationships is really bad... but in the state were Spencer and Ashley are...I think it's good, because this feeling proves you that it's more than...just a little crush or something...
I've been jealous once... because I was in love with someone...and that person couldn't love me back... but that was alright i guess... and I'm jealous because one of my friend went to new york...and I always wanted to go there... but it's the frienldy kind of jealousy... and am jealous of Mandy and Jessica Alba because they really have hot bods.. lol
And drinking problems away... doesn't work out... I get never that drunk that I'm not feeling something anymore... but I never tried that hard... there are better ways to deal with problems...
So have a nice day, a good night or whatever makes u happy! Kisses, Tatj
