I LIVE IN ENGLAND SO DO NOT OWN ANYTHING TO DO WITH SOUTH OF NOWHERE!

Thanks to all who reviewed and put this story on alerts/favourites, I'm well chuffed. Thank you so very much, I loving writing it.

I own SCAD Records, Nicole, Leah and Alex.

So I thought writing this chapter would be easy but it has not. I also hoped it would have been a lot sooner as I had some holiday time but things conspired against me.

Did you watch the Royal Wedding? Your thoughts? I have never been prouder to be British!

Some replies:

LoveAsh87: I love how you are always the first to review. I am so glad that you loved this previous chapter.

mb168: Thanks, I'm updating.

Charlee: How did you manage two reviews? Respect. If Spencer reacted different, I don't think that their new relationship would work. Hope you enjoy this update.

imaferrari: I am glad you thought I calmed it down well. Your right but who is it?

Elly1212: Let's find out.

Irishgrl33: Thanks for the review.

Cutebabe79: Thank you so much. You don't know how much having your support and your reviews means to me.


Spencer's POV

Of course it would have to be her. I swear that drama follows me and Ashley around. We can't just have a nice lunch without something happening. I suppose, in the long run, it was better that she appeared now than later down the track.

After Ashley picked up her jaw, from the floor, she spoke. "Hey what's up…Leanne?"

I could not help myself and let out a chuckle…it mean that was funny. I didn't care about the glare I got. Ashley's face was full of confusion, it was so cute. If people were not that important to Ashley, she usually forgot their name. I must say I was a bit surprised she had forgotten her name so quickly, I mean it was only a couple of hours ago she was walking out of Ashley's front door. Maybe Ashley did not scream her name in the throes of passion?

"It's Leah actually Ashley. Forgotten me so quickly after our night of passion, huh?" Leah said.

Ashley looked at me guiltily and shrugged. She mumbled something like "no point remembering names", I could help but smirk.

I opened my mouth to speak up when Leah continued. "Not that I didn't enjoy last night, Ashley. I am actually here for a different reason. It is just a nice surprise to run into you and Spencer here. I'm just grabbing some coffee for me and my best friend, Nicole." Ashley's eyes widen at this. "You know what the coffee is like at the hospital, right Spencer? Oh wait, I forgot, silly me, you don't know as this morning you broke her heart. She has only just stopped crying. It looks like you have moved on, though, very quickly I might add. Cat got your tongue, Spencer?"

I looked between Ashley and Leah, confusion written over Ashley's face and a smirk on Leah's. Just as I was about to reply to Leah, Ashley jumps in.

"I'm sorry that I didn't remember your name. It must have been forgettable I guess." She looked at me guilty before continuing. "I don't know what you think is going on between me and Spencer but I can tell you that, in fact, it is two very old friends having lunch together."

I can't believe that Ashley just said that, she is covering for me. I need to be honest, I can't let Leah believe that and I certainly can't let Ashley do that for me.

"Actually Leah, the reason I broke up with Nicole is that it wasn't working for me. I agree that it was a horrible time to do it but I had to. Something happened recently and I knew I needed to take action. I'm very sorry that I hurt her but Leah this is your chance."

Leah looked at me, it was like she realise for the first time that I knew she loved Nicole.

"I…um…need to get back to Nicole."

Leah turned on heel and out of the door. I looked over at Ashley and waited as she was deep in thought.


Ashley's POV

Last night, I slept with Nicole's best friend, Spencer's ex-girlfriend, I could scarcely believe it. What I was more dumbfounded about was how Spencer reacted. I mean I guess she must have seen that it was Leah this morning but I thought she would be more angry or upset. Instead, she chuckled when I said the wrong name and stood up for our relationship.

Leah has just left and I am aware that Spencer is looking at me. I can't seem to look at her. I just hope that she is not disappointed and I really hope that I have not ruined my last chance.

Taking a deep breath I finally pick up the courage to look into those blues eyes that I love so much.

"Spencer." I suddenly don't know what to say, my mouth has gone dry.

Spencer smiles and says. "Ash, you okay? I don't think I have ever seen you this quiet." She chuckles. "Look, yes I knew it was Leah this morning, I was going to tell you, I just wanted to enjoy a nice lunch with you. Leah has never really liked me because she is in love with Nicole. Thank you for defending me by the way."

"How can anyone dislike you? Thank you for giving me another chance. I would do anything for you, you know that Spence." I give her a cheeky wink. "Shall we get out of here?"


I realise it is quite short but I needed to update. Next time - hen night.
