Author's note: Hey. Missed me much? Haha.. I didn't want to update that soon after the last chapter, but whatever. I changed my mind. Umm…this chapter is kinda short, I hope you all can forgive me that. Can you?
Thanks again for your wonderful comments. I truly love them. By the way, if there's something you would like to see (read), let me know. More drama? I guess not, lol, but if you want to… Just let me know, okay? Oh, I know you probably want to some smut finally and I want you to know that you can look forward to their weekend together then.
Well, of course just when they win the bet.
Okay, I think I stop rambling now. Enjoy.
25. The Call
It's Wednesday evening. Three days without talking to Spencer. Three days without touching Spencer. Three days without kissing Spencer.
Three days without being able to have anything to do with Spencer. Yes, we can call each other, but that's not the same, if you know what I mean. I'm sure you do.
I hate that stupid bet. I still don't understand how she could've agreed to something like that.
Does she miss me at all? Does she miss our small talks about everything and nothing? Does she miss our warm hugs just like I do? Does she miss our kisses? God, how I miss her lips. Those full, inviting lips of hers that taste like a strawberry.
I miss her smell. She even smells like strawberries. I miss everything about her; I miss her.
It's official. I'm screwed.

I was lying in my bed, thinking of her, of course. How it feels having her in my arms, feeling her body next to mine when she spends the night, when a phone ringing interrupted me.
God damnit.
I didn't look at the caller ID. Instead I quickly picked up, responding with a harsh "Hello?"
I didn't mean to sound harsh, I just didn't like being interrupted while thinking of Spencer.
"Ashley?"
Speaking of her…
My voice immediately softened. "Oh, hey baby."
"Am I interrupting something?" she asked with a shy voice.
Oh, if she only knew.
"No…no. I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you."
She chuckled. "Okay, I forgive you."
"What's up?" I asked, as if we didn't call each other every single night.
"Nothing, I just wanted to hear your voice."
Awww, isn't that sweet?
I chuckled. "You mean my sexy husky voice?"
"Yeah, that's exactly what I meant," she giggled. Then she got serious. "I miss you, Ash."
I sighed, grabbing the pillow she gave me to smell her scent when she's not there and hugging it.
Okay, how desperate I am?
"I miss you too, babe. It's killing me that I can't touch you."
I heard her swallow.
"And kiss you," I continued, "Feel you."
Silence.
"Spence?"
"Yeah, sorry, I spaced out a little," she apologized.
I frowned. "I'm telling you how I miss you and you space out?"
"No…no, I didn't mean it like that. I just…" she stopped.
"You what?"
"I…uh…I…"
Okay, how cute is she when she's stuttering?
"I was imagining you kissing me."
Now was my turn to swallow. Hard.
"Uh…"
She chuckled nervously. "Sorry, I didn't want to make you uncomfortable."
"No, you didn't." Should I tell her?
Oh, screw that.
"You know, before you called me I was imagining the same."
"Really?"
"Yes," I sighed, "It's been three days, Spence. I don't think I can stand it anymore. I miss you." I frowned. "God, how I hate that stupid bet."
"I'm sorry for that," she apologized. "But if we make it, we have the whole house to ourselves for the weekend."
"I'm really curious how your brother wants your parents to get of the house."
She laughed. "Yeah, well, I'm curious too. I think he still thinks he is gonna win."
"Which he's so not," I added.
I heard someone call her name.
"Dad needs me in the kitchen. He is cooking, you know."
"Yeah, okay. Have fun in the kitchen."
She chuckled. "Thanks, I will. 'Night, Ash."
"'Night."
The phone line went dead as she hung up.
I turned over in bed and buried my head in Spencer's pillow with a heavy sigh.
This bet is gonna be the death of me.

Okay, one more thing. The next chapter will be in Aiden's POV. Don't worry, it will be Spashley anyway. But I wanted you to see their relationship from another point of view. And I think you all like Aiden, right?
But don't worry, I'm not planning it more than once. Following chapters will be again from Ashley's and Spencer's POV. But maybe if you'll like it…Who knows?
Do you think it's a good idea with Aiden? Thoughts?
