Chapter 25
So I know it's been a couple of days since I've updated, sorry. But here's a long chapter to make up for it. This chapter is rated M, and for a good reason. LOL, enjoy.
It's been about a week since I passed out in the quad. And I'll tell you now, me in front of crowds – still scares the shit out of me. But so far I've been pretty successful in avoiding crowds and oral presentations. Me and Ashley you ask? Yea we're doing great. Actually, better than great.
I just got a very important letter in the mail, and I know Ashley got one too. Because today's the day most people get theirs. That's right, you guessed it. Today is the day we get our acceptance/rejection letters from our colleges we applied to.
So college is a pretty big deal for me and Ashley, and I'll tell you why. A few weeks ago, before our fight we agreed on something very important.
FLASHBACK
So here we are lying in bed, quietly, just enjoying each other's presence. But then I start thinking about something.
College.
But see when I think about college, I think about Ashley, I love her too much to let her go. But what if we want to go to different places? What if Ashl-
"okay stop" Ashley said.
"stop what?" I ask.
"thinking. I can see it in your face. You're doing that thing where you think and then think so much you freak yourself out" She says. This girl is too good.
"but this time is important"
"that's what you always say"
"but it is. Okay so I've been thinking about the future…"
"surprise, surprise" She says sarcastically.
"what college are do you want to go to?"
"uh, the college of nowhere" (A/N: get it!? Lol)
"what?"
"I'm not college material" she says. This girl is just as smart as I am.
"oh come on" I say as I sit up in bed. "Ashley, you and I both know you're smart" I say. In fact, she's probably smarter than me, she just doesn't apply herself.
"hey, rock stars don't need a college diploma" she says with a smirk.
"don't get me wrong, I know you'll make an amazing rock star and all but what if you don't become a musician? What if you like, get into some freak accident and you lose your voice permanently. What are you going to do then?"
"all musicians run that risk. But thanks for putting it into my head" she says sarcastically.
"look, all I'm saying is that I think you should go to college as a back up plan… plus I really want to go to college with you"
"where are you planning to go to?"
"uh, Notre Dame is only like, the college of my dreams" I say honestly.
"isn't that place like, really hard to get into?"
"oh please, we could get in there with a little bit of extra work"
"I don't know Spence, I never really planned to go to college…"
"please Ashley, all I want is to be with my girlfriend next year… and how perfect would it be if we could live together and spend the next 4 years together?"
"Spencer…" yes! The guilt trip always works.
"please Ash… I love you" that's right I used the 'love' card. It ALWAYS works, because I don't say it that often. Don't get me wrong, I lover her to death, but I don't want to say those three words and ware down their meaning.
"fine, but I'm only applying to Notre Dame with you and that's it" she warns. But that's all I want.
"thank you, thank you, thank you" I say as I kiss her over and over again.
"yeah, whatever, I'm only doing it for the dorm room we'll be sharing… but I'm only going if we both get in" she emphasizes
"oh we'll get in, don't worry" this is perfect.
END OF FLASHBACK
So that's how it went down. And today's the day we finally get our letters. I already opened my back up college letters. I got into all of them. But that all means nothing if I don't get into Notre Dame. It's like 7:30am and the mail man just dropped off Ashley's letter, I can tell because I can see it sticking out of her mailbox. I grab it and ring the doorbell. I ring it several times, over and over again, but no one answers it. So instead I open the door with the spare key under the mat and head up to Ashley's room.
I skip into her room and see her sprawled out over her bed, her shirts riding up a little, showing off her stomach and her legs and tangled in the sheets. I lie down beside her and crawl under the sheets with her. I put my head on the pillow and smile at Ashley. She knows I'm here, but it takes a few seconds for her to wake up. She sees my smiling face and slowly lets her eyes flutter open.
"did we… last night?" she asks cautiously.
"yes, and it was amazing" I say with a grin.
"liar" she says softly. She always catches me, but that's okay. We've only had sex once but that'll probably change soon. "so why are you here so early? I'm not late to pick you up am I?"
"no" I say jumping up from the bed and flinging open her curtains. I jump up onto her bed and start jumping until she finally sits up. "guess what I have" I taunt.
"is it sex?" how can you HAVE sex? It's not like it's an object or something. Whatever.
"no…" I say confusedly. Instead of over thinking it, I show her the letters. "it's our acceptance letters!"
"you mean your acceptance letter and my rejection letter" she corrects me.
I sit back down and face her. "no… I mean our acceptance letters"
"I'm telling you… I'm not going to get in" she warns me as she heads for the bathroom to brush her teeth and stuff.
"oh come on, you don't know that. Just trust me. Next year, it's going to be me and you sharing a dorm room" I say. A couple minutes later she walks out of her bathroom and into her closet. She gets some clothes and decided to torture me by getting dressed in front of me.
"okay whatever you say Spencer…" she says. "let's just get this over with" she says holding out her hand for her letter. Right before I pass it over to her we hear a scream from down stairs. We quickly run out of the room and head towards the stairs to see Kyla standing in the front foyer holding a letter.
"I got in!" she yells and starts dancing. We both laugh at her from upstairs, where we can see her. Well I guess she got into the college she wanted. Before we can open our letters Ashley looks down at he watch and sees that we're going to be late for school.
"come on, we have to go" she says grabbing our bags from outside of her room.
"but what about our letters?"
"we can open them at school" she says as she pulls me and Kyla out the front door.
As soon as we arrived at school I started bothering Ashley about our letters.
"come on Ash… I'm dying to know here"
"fine, open your letter then" she says as she pulls some books out of her locker.
"but you have to open yours at the same time… please?"
She lets out a heavy sigh. "… fine, give it here" she says holding out her hand. But just before the envelope can even touch her hands the bell rings. "I guess we'll have to wait till later…" she says with a smile. She knows this is torture for me.
"alright, come on you, we can open the letters later. I promise" she reassures me as she holds out her hand for me to take.
"alright" I pout and place my hand in hers. She smiles at me and I can't help but smile back. She always does that to me.
At lunch Ashley finds me and tells me she has a lunch detention with one of her teachers. I think she's just trying to avoid opening this letter.
"but Ashley…" I whine in my whiniest voice.
"Spencer…" she mocks me back.
"baby I really want to open them now" I say.
"I can't I have to go to my detention. We can do it after school"
"but we have those plans I made for us" ever since last week when she told me 'happy anniversary' I've felt like crap. It was terrible of me to forget. So today I'm making it up to her.
"okay, so we'll do it after our plans" she offers, trying to go to her detention.
"with what I have planned... we'll be up all night" I say slyly. Look at that smirk on her face grow.
"okay well, in that case…. We're going to have to wait a very long time to open these letters"
"Ash…" I groan again.
"hey, it's either sex or the letters, it's up to you. And by the way, the letters will still be there tomorrow, but I'm only horny tonight" she whispers into my ear. I know that's a lie… she's horny every night, but I let it go. Tonight's our special night.
"alright, I choose sex" I give in, and she gives me a smile.
"smart choice. But I got to go. Bye baby" she says and gives me a light kiss which I gladly accept. I watch as my girlfriend walks off to her detention. It feels good to be able to call her my girlfriend again.
Okay so I've been planning this anniversary for about a week now. Ever since I fount out I forgot about it I've felt horrible. I mean, I can't believe I forgot. So tonight's not going to be just about me. It's going to be about Ashley. I have a little surprise for her tonight… I hope she likes it.
So in order to get everything perfect I had to start right after school. Starting with leaving Ashley a note in her locker.
(Ashley's POV)
The bell rang and now it's time for me and Spencer to go out. God how I've missed this girl. And tonight we can finally be all alone. I go down to my locker which is right beside hers but she isn't there. Maybe she's just running a little late. I open my locker to put my books away but just as I do a note falls out. Aw look, it's even got a little heart on it.
I unfold the silly girl school note and see Spencer's girl handwriting.
Ashley,
I had to start working on our date, but don't worry this is all part of it. I need you to go home and pick up something from Kyla and Stacey and they'll give you your next note. Can't wait for tonight.
xoxo
-Spencer
I smile to no one but fold up the note and head home. I can't wait for tonight either.
As soon as I get home I'm ambushed by Kyla and Stacey.
"Where the hell have you been? You're late!" Kyla says pulling me up the stairs.
"what are you talking about? I'm 5 minutes early" I drove a little faster knowing I'd get to see Spencer sooner.
"what ever, come on" Stacey says pushing me. "go take a shower and we have your outfit already waiting."
"outfit? Where am I going? Where's Spencer?"
"just do what we say" Kyla says pushing me into my bathroom.
After a quick shower I come out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel and I see Stacey and Kyla sitting on my bed with a black dress in hand.
"a dress?" where the hell am I going that I need a dress?
"get dressed, you have a fancy dinner to get to. Oh and you might also need this…" Kyla said handing over two business cards.
So I've been driving for a few minutes, I figure I have to stop at a certain location before the other. I only say this because Kyla gave me two cards. One to a fancy restaurant where I'm guessing I'm going to meet Spencer, and the other to a flower shop where I guess I'm supposed to get flowers for Spencer. I bet Kyla planned that one.
Once I've picked up the bouquet of pink roses, her favourite, I head on down to the restaurant. I can already see some host standing behind a podium. He must think I look weird holding a bouquet of roses.
"hello Miss, how may I help you?" he asks politely.
"um, I'm looking for someone" I say trying to see in the obviously expensive restaurant.
"boyfriend?" he smiles.
"girlfriend, actually" I smile back. I love surprising people actually.
He clears his throat then looks down at his book. "name?"
"my name or the name of the party?"
"either or" he states.
"um Carlin?" I ask, not too sure. He shakes his head as he searches through the book. "how about Ashley Davies?" I say. He instantly looks up.
"Davies. Excellent, your guests have been expecting you" he says as he escorts me down the hall. What guests? I thought it was just me and Spencer. We turn a couple of corners and he leads me to a secluded area with one booth lit up. I see Spencer sitting on one side of the booth but I cant see the other person because their back is to me. But that's okay, cause I can still see Spencer.
"Ashley" Spencer smiles as she gets up. I hand her the bouquet of roses and give her a quick peck. I can see out of the corner of my eye the host man take off.
"hey baby. That dress looks gorgeous on you" I say as I grab both of her hands in mine and look her up and down. She's got on some gorgeous red dress, which I plan to personally take off later. "I bet it looks even better off of you" I smirk, forgetting there is another person here.
"Ash" she scolds me. I can see her cheeks turn a little red.
"what?" I ask, I see the figure in the booth soon stand up.
"well she is a Davies" the man says as he steps into the light.
"dad?!" oh my god! It's my dad!... if you didn't catch that already.
"give your old man a hug" he says extending his arms. But I'm already hugging him.
"what are you doing here? I thought you weren't coming till next week!"
"well your girlfriend here called me up and told me it was an important occasion. Plus, it's been a while since I've seen my daughter" he says with a smile. He gives me another hug and we all sit down. Spencer and I sit beside each other and across from my dad. It is our anniversary after all. Or at least it was a week ago.
"So Spencer told me that you two applied to college together?" my dad asks. Oh god, they were talking about us before I got here.
"yeah, we got the letters today but we haven't opened them yet"
"well I'm proud of you kiddo. No one in our family has really gone to college. And I know you want to be a musician like me, but it's really smart of you to have a back up plan" he says taking a sip of his drink. I look over at Spencer, and I know it was all her idea, but she let's me take credit for it. She knows it's a big deal for my dad to say he's proud of me.
After spending a few hours together at the restaurant we all started getting ready to leave. All we were waiting for was for Spencer to come out of the bathroom. So here's me and my dad just spending a few minutes alone together.
"so how're you doing sweetie? Staying out of trouble?"
"as much as a Davies can" I reply.
"that's what I like to hear. What about you and Spencer? Are you guys happy?"
"so happy" I say honestly.
"good. You shouldn't let a girl like that, go without a fight"
"I know. She's amazing isn't she?"
"if she can get my daughter into college, I'd sure call her amazing" he says. I nudge him playfully. "but in all honesty, I'm glad you two are together. She makes you happy, I can see it in your eyes."
"yeah, I just don't want to screw it up with her. I love her too much for that" My dad is the only adult I can actually talk to with stuff like this.
"I know sweetie…" he said pulling me into a sideways hug.
"ready to go?" Spencer asked, popping out of nowhere.
"let's go" I say. After dinner Spencer and I decided to spend the rest of the night alone. My dad went out with Kyla to catch up and Spencer and I came back to my empty house.
"so thank you for tonight…" I start as I shut the door behind us and we start heading upstairs.
"are you kidding me? After I forgot our anniversary it was the least I could do"
"well I don't know if I'm quite over you forgetting it… but I know a way you can make it up to me…" I say slyly.
"oh really? Care to elaborate?" she asked as she pulled me into my bedroom and shut the door behind us.
"maybe I will" I say pushing her towards the bed. But right before I'm about to push her down she spins around me and pushed me down instead.
"or maybe I will" she says with a smirk as she sits down across my waist and leans down to kiss me. I sit up a little so I can reach around her back and slowly start to unzip her dress. She stands up and stares at me as I stare back. Strap by strap the dress slowly falls down to her ankles and she's left in nothing but a bra and panties. She grabs my hand and pulls me to stand also. She stands behind me and starts kissing my neck as she unzips me at the same time. I can feel a shiver run down my spine.
"you're so hot" she whispers into my ear. Oh god, I can't take this anymore. I turn around and put my hands on her waist and pull her closer so I can just kiss her. We fall back down to the bed and crawl under the sheets. Our bodies are pressed so close together I can feel her heart beat against my chest. Or maybe that's just my heart beat pounding through my chest. Whatever.
Her hands go down beneath the sheets and I can feel her tugging at my underwear. She slides them off and down my legs and tosses them somewhere in the room. She buries her head into my neck and continues kissing me as her hand sneaks southward. She starts rubbing me down there and I can feel myself getting hotter and hotter.
"oh god…" I manage to whisper. I can feel her smile proudly against my neck. Without warning, she puts one finger in, then two and then, oh god, three fingers. Oh god… oh wait, I already said that. I can feel her tempo start to speed up and I can barely control my body anymore. I start moaning and groaning loud enough to wake the whole house up, but I quickly silence myself… as best I can.
"it's okay, Kyla's at Stacey's house" Spencer whispers and presses her thumb down on to my clit. I reach the stop and scream as loud as I can. Not just because Kyla's gone, but because it felt amazing. Spencer's hands come to a quick stop and she slowly pulls them out.
I'm still a little tired from you know… my orgasm and all. But I quickly push Spencer flat on her back and straddle her at the waist. But not before taking her panties off first. I grab her hands and drag them up to my bra clad chest and let them rest there. I start moving forwards and backwards where our bodies connect and she starts to lightly moan. The heavier moaning doesn't come later until I push two fingers in her. With the rubbing and the fingers combined Spencer goes over the top within minutes.
I fall back down to my place beside Spencer and we're both spent now. She turns over and smiles at me. I take her hand and kiss the back of it.
"so now that most of our night's over… do you think we could…" Spencer starts but I know she's talking about the letters.
"Spencer Carlin were you using sex to get me to open the letters?" I ask jokingly.
"maybe a little." She says with the cutest grin.
"alright, go get them" I say giving in. She jumps our of the bed – naked, might I add – and runs out into the hall to grab the letters. She obviously planned this. She comes back in – still naked, and still loving it – and jumps back under the sheets. She takes on set of sheets and I take the other so we can sit up in bed, not cold. She hands me the letter and looks down at mine.
"ready?" she asks excitedly.
"ready as I'll ever be" I say as we both tear open our letters. I'm actually more excited but I'm trying to contain it, because there's a pretty good chance I don't get in. I mean I didn't actually start trying hard until this year. I open the letter and read the first few lines.
Dear Miss. Davies,
We are pleased to invite you to become part of the class at Notre Dame College…
I didn't need to read the rest. I freakin' got in! holy shit! "oh my god! I got in!" I yell as I jump up in place. I start jumping up and down to show my excitement. "Spencer! I got in! I actually got in! I can't believe this! Next year, you, me and our own dorm room! Or maybe we should just get an apartment that way we can make as much noise as we want!"
I jump off the bed and run into the closet and I have yet to hear a word from Spencer. "doesn't that sound great Spence?" I ask from inside the closet. "Spencer?" I ask again when I hear no reply. I walk back out of the closet with two Notre Dame sweaters in hand. Yeah I planned this a little. I was only going to bring them out if we got in. I come back to the bed and show her what I have. She looks up and smiles at me and the sweaters.
"everything okay? You got in right?"
"…yeah of course I did" she says with a smile. She takes one of the sweaters and puts it on and then helps me into mine. I give her a quick kiss and push her down.
"I think this calls for a little… celebrating" I say suggestively and I think she's taking this suggestion into consideration.
"mmm, baby, as much as I would love to, I promised my parents I'd tell them as soon as I found out" she says.
"okay well I'll get you the phone." I say reaching across the bed.
"Actually, I'm going to go home and tell them"
"oh… okay" I guess no celebrating tonight. "well just give me a second to get dressed and I'll drive you back"
"no, you know what? Call your dad I'm sure he would love to hear you got in. I'm just going to walk" she says with a genuine smile, so I believe her.
"are you sure?"
"absolutely" she says pulling some pants on that she left here before.
"okay well, this has definitely been the best night of my life" I say as I get up and give her a soft thank you kiss. She pulls back a little too soon for me and leaves. As soon as she walks out my bedroom door I run to get the phone.
"dad? I got in!" I scream into the phone.
