A/N: Only a short one, sorry about the cliff hanger.
Everyone seemed to hold their breath as we watched Aiden reach into his jacket. No one really knew what to do. What if he had a gun? I know I shouldn't be thinking like that I was engaged to him after all. But he thinks he can just walk right in here and demand to talk to me.
"This is for you, consider yourself served" he's holding out a blue envelope handing it to me
"What?"
"I'm just getting what I deserve Ashley we were together for a long time it's only fair" with that he leaves, the two security guards follow him out. I feel Spencer walk around in front of me. All I could really do is stare at the envelope. Served? Is he suing me? For what? He doesn't deserve anything. I need to open this.
"Right well everyone back to work" it seems our little confrontation had attracted a crowd. I could tell Spencer was walking with me.
"Are you ok Ashley?"
"I'm fine now let's see what he wants" I unfold the letter and read through the contents. He's suing me for more than half my net worth. Apparently because we were engaged and living together he found some law which gives him the rights to at least half my money. Well this is going to be an interesting fight.
"What's it say Ashley"
"He's suing me. He wants what he thinks is his"
"Which is?"
"Everything. He wants the lot"
"He can't do that can he?"
"I don't know, I need to contact my lawyers"
"How about you ring your lawyers and we can go for a coffee"
"Actually how about we order in lunch and you and I can talk about what it is you came here for" just because Aiden interrupted doesn't mean I forgot she is here to talk to me.
"Alright I'll order lunch you make your phone calls"
Spencer's POV
I can't believe the nerve of that guy. He cheats on Ashley then come after her money. I finally get up the courage to talk to Ashley and he has to come interrupt. This is going to cause allot of trouble for Ashley. She is going to really need her sister.
"Lunch should be here soon, how did it go" as I walked back into the office I notice Ashley sitting behind her desk reading over the letter.
"They're sending someone over in about an hour to talk to me; I need to get Cassie to cancel the interview this afternoon. So while we wait for lunch you going to tell me what it is you came to talk to be about"
"It's not important"
"Yes it is, now forget about Aiden and his little dramas. I'm all ears" well I guess this is it time to face the music Carlin. Just tell her it's what you came here for.
"Well I um... I've been thinking" deep breaths
"I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me"
"Of course I will. That wasn't that hard. What were you so worried about" I don't think she quite understands what I mean oh shit ok you can do this. You got this far it's only Ashley
"No I mean as a... as in a" keep it together Carlin
"A date"
"Yes a date, I'm sorry that's inappropriate" you had to go and say it didn't you.
"No"
"No?" she said no see you knew that would be the answer. Well time to leave with a little dignity I guess.
"No it's not inappropriate. Yes"
"Yes?" ok now I'm confused first it's no now it's yes.
"Yes. Yes I'd love to go out to dinner with you"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes you twit I'm sure" I can't say how excited I am right now. I came here expected to be rejected which I think I was at some stage I'm not to sure though. But now, now I'm going on a date and actual date with Ashley Davies the Ashley Davies. The girl who I haven't been able to get out of my head since I met her in my office.
"So what are you going to do about Aiden?"
"Well have to wait until the lawyers get here, now I do believe lunch has arrived" she's looking towards Cassie standing in the doorway with lunch.
Lunch was pretty quiet I think Ashley spent most of it thinking about Aiden and what he wants. I really don't like him I never did. I was there when she broke off the engagement and the look on her face when she exited his hospital room was one of relief. Now lets think about this date it needs to be perfect.
I left Ashley when the lawyers arrived. I needed to get to the hospital my shift started shortly. The whole time spent thinking about Ashley. I'm so whipped and we haven't even gone on a date well officially yet.
