Chapter 14
SPOV
I ran back up to apartment not even thinking about where I was going my mind was on the kiss. I inwardly squealed at the mere thought.
I happy danced my way back into my apartment completely forgetting about the irritating bestie on the other.
Spin spin spin, wiggle hips, hands up, fists, drag down front, spin again, wiggle hips, woo.
My happy dance was rudely interrupted by a throat clearing and I paused mid wiggle glaring at Jess's smug grin.
"Nice Spence, very nice." She smirked, the cheeky devil.
"You idiot Jess, you ruined my perfect moment with your ramble back there."
"Exactly Spence, back there, waaaay in the past now, tell me about the real kiss you're so worked up about right now." Jess waved her hands around trying to avoid the point.
"I think you owe me one Jessie." I smiled.
"Huh, no way Spence last time I owed you something I ended up covered in milk and eggs it was gross I stank of sulphur for days Nat wouldn't come near me." I grinned at her slip up.
"Why would it bother you if Nat wasn't near you Jess?" I said nonchalantly, pretending to be puzzled.
Jess had the best reaction, she went white, then red before coughing slightly and stuttering an excuse.
"I er I well we um, I don't know?" She said it like a question, door is open.
"It's ok Jess I know how you feel about each other." I put it out there, she went even redder if possible.
"That's well... That's ridiculous we're friends, good friends. I mean yeh she's hot I mean not hot but, you know, gorgeous. Oh god I'm shutting up now." I had to hold back my laughter at this point; my friend would not appreciate being even more embarrassed right now.
"Jess," I caught her by her arm as she tried to get out of my apartment. "It's ok that you like her." She looked like she was going to cry, maybe I pushed it too hard, but I barely pushed it at all.
"No Spence, I don't, I mean, I can't, I..."I cut her off, we were getting nowhere.
"She likes you too you know Jessie." I used her nickname to help keep her calm.
"What, no, no she can't I'm her boss." She said the red going down slightly.
"Why does that mean she can't like who you are and admit it you're hot Jessie!" I said trying to keep this show on the highway.
She stayed silent for an age; I could practically see the cogs whirring away in her brain. I can see why my friends were so frustrated with me and Ash, this is pure torture.
"Jessie." I spoke softly. She seemed to break out of her own world slightly.
"Huh Spence?"
"You ok hun?" I asked gently.
She looked at her feet then pulled her arm out of my hand and smiled at me. I breathed a sigh of relief at the confident look on her face.
"She likes me?" She asked hopefully.
"Yep." I said smiling.
"How do you know that?" She looked a bit put out, probably because she's blind I tell you.
"Well, she smiles the moment you walk into the same room as her, she leans into you waaay too much when you guys hug, her eyes follow you around the club as if she can't tear them away and half the originals she's written mention someone special who looks mysteriously like you, she..." I paused for breath, and noticed Jess looked slightly overwhelmed but I carried on anyway.
"She checks you out constantly when you walk away from her and you remember angels and devils night?" Jess nodded at me dumbly. "Nat could not stop drooling at your devil costume slash mini dress I had to elbow her more than once to get her to wipe her mouth. How have you not seen this? Wait, don't answer that, you're exactly the same with her." I finally finished.
"Uh wow, how long?" Jess croaked.
"Um her or you or both?" I asked, already knowing the answer to all three.
"Both wait, yeah both." She nodded and shrugged, weird combo I tell ya.
"I knew there was something there from the moment I first saw the two of you together Jess, you guys found any excuse to touch each other." She looked disbelieving so I expanded.
"At first I assumed it was just lust but pretty soon I could sense the connection between you guys and I knew it was so much more than I simple crush." I smiled at my friends gaping mouth.
"Why didn't she do anything then?" She looked like she thought she had me.
"Why didn't you?" Ooh snap she looked taken aback by my question.
"Cuz."
"Jessie, that's not an answer. It's too real, for both of you to put it out there without some sort of guarantee right?" I knew what I was talking about now.
"How, but, how?"
"I know these things Jess, and I also know that there will never be a guarantee you have to take a chance on this one hun." I smiled gently and moved to hug her.
"Thanks Spence." Jess said into my ear as she hugged me back tightly.
"No problem, but you guys are blind as bats." I chuckled.
"Sure, says the girl who took six years to kiss the woman she loves more than anything in this world!" She said smugly.
I had no come back for that one, it's so true.
"True, but are you going to ask Nat out?" I asked hopefully.
"I don't know, I am her boss." Jess sounded unsure now.
"Do it Jess, she's going to accept a contract soon anyway."
"Why hasn't she Spence?"
"I have no idea."
Jess sounded as worried as me about Nat's future and we both broke apart to think about it. I finally broke the silence.
"Well, I need to sleep on this one it's practically 4am."
"Yeah you dirty stop out." Jess snapped obviously she really had been freaking.
"I'm back before 6am therefore I did not stay out but thanks for worrying I love you for that." I said through my yawn.
"No problem Spence, I came round when you didn't pick up either of your phones." She replied catching my yawn easily.
"I'll fill you in on what happened when I've slept yeah?" I said my grin practically snapping my face in half as I thought about my date and the kiss again.
"Oh hell no I see that smile Carlin, I need to hear about his right now."
"But."
"No way, get your pj's on Carlin I have mine with me and we'll talk in your room then I'll stay over."
I repeated my happy dance multiple times that with Jess laughing as I relived the best date ever.
JPOV
"So wait," I said, "She remembered everything, as in everything?" I could not get past Ashley's amazing powers of recollection.
"Yes," I was annoying the hell out of Spencer with my mini obsession. "She remembered my drink, food, restaurant, editing style. Every. Little. Thing!"
She started to wiggle obviously about to do another happy dance while I was still puzzling over the memory thing.
"Ok, you always drink VM's so that's easy, you love Rainbow Trout and Lobster so that's pretty simple but you only ever mentioned the restaurant once in your entire time together and not directly to her and you thought she wasn't watching whenever you were at your computer editing stuff. How did she do it?" This is confusing.
"Love Jess, I could tell you similar random things about Ash." She said confidently.
"Let's test that shall we Spence, see if love is that powerful." I said smiling, this would be fun.
"Let's do it." Spence smiled back easily.
"Ok, her favourite... Food?" I decided to start easy.
"Steak." Hmm no hesitation.
"Drink."
"VC, but she mixes it weirdly if she's making it."
"Interesting let's step it up... Place?"
"Wherever I am." She put her hand to her mouth when she realised what she'd said, she never even paused to think so I knew it must be something Ashley has said. I just smirked at her.
"Really, thing to do in bed. And it can't be sex unless you're gonna be specific." She wouldn't get away with that.
"Fine," She sighed. "But you can't tell anyone." She shot me a stern look. I nodded at her drawing a cross over my heart that made her smile.
"Well it might have changed but I doubt it very much, she liked, well she..." Specner was going red now, this must be good, I grinned at her.
"C'mon Spence." I urged.
"Alright alright, well her absolute favourite thing to do was run her hands all over me then kissmealloveruntilIcouldn'ttakeanymoreok?" I laughed out loud at that. She went even redder.
"Wait a sec, she made you?"
"Yep."
"Without." I raised my eyebrows.
"Uhuh." Spencer nodded smiling at what must be a memory.
"Wow she must be..." I paused to imagine what that kind of feeling for someone must do to a person's sex life.
"Stop." Spencer said sternly.
"Huh." I stopped thinking about what it would be like with Nat.
"Thinking about it, it's creepy because you're sat on my bed Jess." She said still slightly red.
"My bad couldn't help it, could you do the..." I paused incase I offended my friend. She looked up at me with the biggest grin on her face.
"For sure, faster too." She smirked at me.
"Jeez Spence I don't need the image you're projecting right now." I cringed. She just laughed at my screwed up face.
"Ok, moving on. Favourite restaurant." I started with the questions again.
"Now it's The River Cafe but before it was this Sky Bar place in LA." She smiled.
"Ok, where does she want to get married?"
"Beach at sunset."
"Romantic, favourite guitar?"
"The first one her Dad gave her when she was 5, its tiny though." I laughed.
"Song?"
"It changes but it's Don't Stop for the most part or any of the Disney tunes, she likes happy songs for the most part." Spence smiled, she clearly hasn't listened to Gold yet, I saw it on her bedside table before. Still wrapped.
"Sweet, fave chord?"
"Anything C related."
"Film."
"Love Actually, but don't tell anyone."
"I won't. Anyway I give you do know a lot about her for having been apart for years, that's for sure." I yawned huge.
"Time for bed me thinks Jessie."
I love when she calls me that, I feel loved.
I dive under her covers making her laugh playfully before climbing in with me.
"I'm too tired to make you move Jessie but I have to be up in... 4 hours for college so be prepared, if I have to be up so do you." She said softly obviously nearly asleep already.
"Night Spence, Love you." I said quietly.
"Same Jessie." she threw her arm around me and hugged me gently before passing out with her head on my back. I followed shortly after thinking of Natalie Freznie once again.
Sweet dreams indeed.
Just a quick update to follow the date with Spencer and Jess before too much time goes by.
Sorry if there are a few mistakes my proof reading sucks.
