ASHLEY'S P.O.V
"Rough night?"
"Maddy I am so sore"
She's laughing.
"Strenuous gig?"
The gig was easy.
Spencer's the reason I'm worn out.
"Yer something like that"
"Did you invite a special lady friend back to your room?"
Now I'm laughing as well.
"Maddy am I grabbing the coffees or are you?"
"I'll grab them"
FLASHBACK
"Spencer do you want me to pretend I'm sleeping so you can sneak out?"
When I say that she looks over to where I'm lying.
"I was going to wake you Ashley..."
She's smiling.
"I don't do sneak outs"
"Really?"
She's laughing.
"Yes really"
When she reaches down to grab her shirt off the ground my eyes drift to her bare back.
Her body's incredible.
"I can't believe I actually slept with you"
When she says that I laugh.
"Spencer you've slept with me twice"
"I know..."
She's smiling.
"And I was only joking"
I'm going to take that as an opening to move closer.
"There's something about you Spencer..."
When I say that she moves so she's facing me.
"My vagina loves you"
Even her laugh is sexy.
"Ashley I'm so glad you said that I thought you were going all weird on me"
When she finally stands up I'm a touch disappointed.
She has clothes on and she's leaving.
END FLASHBACK
"So who was the lucky lady?"
When she passes me my coffee I smile.
"Spencer"
She definitely wasn't expecting that.
"Spencer Carlin?"
I'm nodding.
"Damn Ashley I'm impressed"
"Maddy she can't find out you know..."
"Why?"
"I don't want her to think I'm bragging and that stupid bet's still a soft spot"
"This is new"
Shit, I know that look.
"You actually care"
"Maddy define care?"
"That's a lot of cameras..."
When she says that I look outside.
"Ash we're going to get swamped"
"What have I done now?"
She's laughing but I never know what I'm going to wake up to.
"It's a pretty popular hotel, they could be here for anyone"
She knows they're here for me, she's just being nice.
"This should be interesting"
When she pushes the doors open I follow her outside.
"ASHLEY"
I hate this part of my life.
"ANY NEWS?"
When I look over at Maddy she shrugs her shoulders.
"BACK OFF..."
There's a really big crowd gathering.
"LET HER WALK"
Maddy's trying, but they're not going to listen.
They're vultures, when they see something they want, they can't be stopped.
"HAVE YOU HEARD ANY NEWS?"
What am I missing?
"YOU'RE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, BACK OFF"
When I hear Spencer's voice I know something's not right.
There's too many of them here.
"GIVE HER SOME SPACE'
I can hear her but I can't see her.
I can't see anything but flashing lights.
"Ashley I'm so sorry"
When I finally notice her I know something wrong.
"Spencer can you please just tell me what's going on?"
It's bad.
"Let's go back inside"
When she walks back into the hotel lobby I follow her.
"Spencer what's going on?"
When she finally stops I move so I'm standing in front of her.
"Spencer?"
"There's reports going around..."
"About me?"
"No, it's your dad"
Okay.
"He died Ashley"
