A/N OK, so this is what you've all been waiting for. Introducing Ashley Davies. So, when you meet Ashley and get to know my version of her you'll have a better understanding of why I took so much time getting to know Spencer, it adds to the Spashleyness, trust me ;0) Enjoy xx
Previously on Bringing it Home:
'Yep, she was all tied up,' Addison joked as she joined us placing a kiss on the top of my head and sitting on my other side. I caught the amazed looks from my friends and had to laugh.
'Shhh, you'll ruin my rep,' I said in a stage whisper. Annie's eyes were like saucers
'Fuck that! ' Kate interjected vehemently.'Let her loose and she's more than we could handle.' Austin spit her juice across the counter and Kyla nearly choked as Maddy accidently rammed the toast down her throat.
'Mmmm, hmmm,' Addy purred in agreement. 'Let's just say we came to an arrangement.' she left the comment hanging.

I can't say I'm pleased to be here. In fact I'm slightly terrified. What? Ashley Davies scared? Yup, that's me. How would you feel, four months in a nice safe rehab centre away from all temptation and then having to come back to high school. A new high school. Hmmph! See what I mean? Sayng that, I never went to classes last year, well sober anyway, so they're making me repeat. Why a different school? That was my idea. I realised I never had any real friends, just kids wanting something from me. I had hurt anyone I could ever have called a friend a long time ago. This is supposed to get me away from all that shit.
So here I am, new school year, fresh start and all that. How's it going? Well the parking lot looks OK. Saying that, not having a car is a pisser. Yep, driving under the influence kinda gets your licence taken away. But I must admit I'm very, very grateful to whoever's been looking out for me that I didn't hurt anyone. I don't think I could live with myself if I had.
Alright Davies, let's get this clown show rolling. Shades, check!. Scowl, check. Bad ass don't fuck with me attitude, check! OK, looks like we're good to go.
"Prepare to meet thy doom Ms Davies," I muttered to myself as I struck out across the lot towards the school buildings.

"Spence!" That was a sound I'd missed.
"Ummph!" The air was knocked out of my lungs when Kyla barrelled into me and wrapped me in a tight hug. Madison followed, rolling her eyes at her girlfriend's enthusiasm.
"Hola babe!" To my surprise she joined in the hug and kissed me on the cheek. It felt good to have my friends around me again.
It had been a long summer. With vacation plans it had been a long time since we'd all been together. I'd been in Ohio most of the summer with my grandparents, nice but quiet and not at all what I was used to these days. I had been well and truly in the closet all the time I'd been away and couldn't wait for things to get back to normal.
Maggie and Austin had been in Europe and weren't back at school until tomorrow. To say I'd missed them both was an understatement, it was like having an arm missing. That and the lovin' had been a bit thin on the ground!
"God I've missed you guys," I sighed as I returned the hug. We just stood for a moment enjoying each others company.
"You eating lunch in the quad?" Kyla asked, a stupid smile on her face as she released me and stepped back.
"Yes. Why?" I narrowed my eyes, getting a bit suspicious.
"Oh, nothing," she offered up an innocent smile. I wasn't buying.
I hoped she wasn't planning anything like she had after we caught the attacker. This is where we do that cool flashback thing, ready?

I'd woken up the next morning stiff and sore. My head was pounding too but a shower soon eased the worst of my aches. I insisted that I go to school today otherwise my mom would have made me stay home tonight and miss the party. There was no way in hell I was going to do that.
I was dressed and ready to go and just grabbing some lunch, courtesy of Glen today, when I was stopped by my mom.
"Spencer dear," she called out just as I was packing my bag. I sighed, motherly lectures were the last thing on my mind today.
"Yes mom?" I said a tad shortly, I shouldn't complain, she'd swapped a shift so she could be here this morning. It was just that Addison and Kate would be picking me up any minute.
"Are you sure you're Ok to go to school today honey?" She appeared in the hallway, a look of concern on her face.
"Mom, I'm fine." I sighed again then smiled at my worried parent.
"Honestly, just a little bump on the head mom. Nothing to worry about." I smiled, trying to reassure her. She frowned at my attempt to fob her off.
"Spencer, I didn't want to bring this up last night but you're not getting in any trouble at school are you?" Oh great. Now was not the time to be having the 'I got beat on for being gay' talk.
"Mom, it wasn't my fault. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"So you said." Her lips were pressed in a line. She wasn't buying it.
"I was just helping Addison out," I tried again, they would be here any minute.
"Addison seems like a nice girl?" Here she goes, blame it on the friends.
"Yeah mom, she is," I couldn't help but soften my tone when I mentioned my friend. This wasn't lost on my mom. She's a freakin' surgeon, nothing gets past her.
"So, what was it? Boy trouble? She was fishing now.
"Something like that mom," I was shifting from foot to foot in my impatience to be off.
"Girl trouble?" Uh, oh! Saved by the horn as my ride pulled up outside.
"Yeah, I'm always bailing Glen out!" I laughed and she chuckled.
"Spencer Carlin, this isn't over young lady!" She called after my retreating form.
"Bye mom!" I yelled as the door slammed behind me.
"Hi guys!" I greeted Kate and Addison as I shot down the drive and jumped into the back of Kate's Porsche.
''How's my favourite couple today?' I asked cheerfully from the back seat. Very small back seat, there was no way Austin could get in here.
"Horny!" They chorused in unison. Kate chuckled.
"Sorry Spence, couldn't resist!" She said as I groaned. "You OK?"
"Ugh! I'm fine. It's just my mom," I moaned and threw my head back against the black leather headrest
"What's up?" Addison asked, twisting in her seat so we could talk face to face. Gave me a cracking look down her shirt, she has fantastic breasts. I sighed mentally before continuing.
"Um, well. She, uh." How to say this? "I think she thinks Addy's my girlfriend." I blurted out. There was a seconds silence.
"Have you been necking with my girl in front of your mother again Spencer?" Kate growled. Addy and I laughed our asses off at her attempt to sound fierce. She almost pulled it off but we know she's just a big kitten, as you know, insert wink.
"So? I have your permission to make out with Addison?" I teased the sexy brunette.
"Hey!" Addy exclaimed indignantly. "Who says I need her permission! She growled and shot her girlfriend an angry scowl. Kate baulked even though she knew Addison was joking. Well, mostly!
"Pucker up Spence," Addy purred as we pulled up just outside school. The car jerked to a final stop and Kate whirled around in her seat to see if I'd take the challenge.
Leaning forward our lips met and a surge of adrenaline poured through me. I heard Addison moan, could have been me though I was completely swept away. Our lips parted and we were both short of breath, Kate's chest was heaving too and her eyes were dark pools.
"Fuck me," the dark eyed brunette moaned. "There is no way I'm gonna get through school today." I ducked my head and shot her a sideways glance.
"That's just a taster baby," my voice was husky. "Don't go taking care of yourself though, I'll be taking care of you later. I sealed the deal with a kiss and she inhaled sharply, whimpering when I broke it off.
Addison was watching intently but smiled when I caught her eye.
"C'mon Spence. Let's get this show on the road."
We'd kept last nights activities clandestine so nothing was known around school. Morning classes went as usual, the odd bit of heckling but nothing was due to kick off until we could all be together at lunch.
By common consensus we were going to show some group solidarity today so had all gone for black jean skirts, white shirts and Addison had provided us all with black ties. Amy had also joined us. Kinda 'Bitches do Reservoir Dogs'. We looked fucking hot and the way heads turned when we entered the quad the school population thought the same.
Moving en-mass through the quad with me on point I couldn't help but smile. Kyla's whizzy gadget thingumy that seemed like something out of a James Bond movie appeared and the quad speakers started kicking 'Stuck in the Middle with You.' I gave her an appreciative grin, today I was Mr Blonde. As the sea of kids parted we sighted the target.
"Cooper!" I yelled across the remaining distance.
I t was almost funny the way her head snapped around at the sound of my voice. She probably assumed I was hooked up in intensive care unit somewhere. She wasn't expecting me to be coming towards her with Misters Pink, White, Brown, Orange and Blue.
"Carlin," she hid her surprise well. There were quite a few at her table today and all eyes were on us. Hell, all eyes in the quad were on us. Kyla had assured me that we wouldn't be interrupted by teachers or security.
"Hmmm, not expecting to see me today?" I cocked my head and growled at her. Her beady little eyes shifted away from me then back again before she answered.
"I was hoping to avoid you but here you are, fouling up the air I have to breathe." I just smiled and didn't take the bait.
"Never mind Stephanie," I purred stretching my face into a plastic smile "You won't be here for too much longer."
She frowned at me, the tiniest hint of worry appearing in the back of her eyes.
"No, that's because I'm leaving. I don't want to catch anything off you fucking dykes." I grinned, perfect! Nodding to Kyla she set the ball rolling.
The music cut off and the video screens usually reserved for student elections flicked on. My face appeared and began to speak.
"Hi, I'm Spencer Carlin and I'm gay," I announced to the camera. "Unfortunately, some people in this school have a problem with that. I'm here to warn you that this will not be tolerated."
What followed was a short montage of events that Kyla had pulled together from her tap into the school's security system. I hadn't seen it yet so this was all new to me.
"Hi, I'm Addison, I was beaten because I'm gay," Addison's voice over dubbed the scene of her being attacked. I had tears in my eyes and reached out to squeeze her hand. Hers was only the first testimony as another seven or eight followed. Apparently Kyla had been contacted by quite a few kids after my showdown with Cooper. They were prepared to be publicly outed to help our cause, it didn't make it any easier to watch as they were all beaten to some degree.
Next were scenes from the halls, views of lockers. Each scene showed one of the targeted kids lockers and then this was skipped through on fast forward until in each case the same person could be seen slipping something into each locker.
These were followed by me again as I loudly announced in an almost empty computer lab that I was going to track alone the next night because Austin had an appointment. Madison offered to have someone wait with me but I refused, saying I would be fine and that I would meet them in the lot after practice. Cue the confrontation with my attacker, his confession and subsequent arrest. This was then backed up with footage Kyla had trawled for of several conversations of the same guy talking with Stephanie. His name was Christian and he turned out to be a bit of a religious nut, fitting name I suppose.
The last one had sound because Kyla had figured out where they met and rigged some mics.
"I need you to do me another favour," she purred as she pawed at his chest.
"Another one need teaching a lesson?" he asked quietly.
"Yep, this ones causing me a lot of trouble. I want you to really hurt her if you get what I mean?" she fucking laughed.
"Just tell me when and where and consider it done," he agreed with a nod of his head.
"Thanks, you always do such a good job, I'll text you the details," he nodded again and turned to leave.
"Oh, and when you've finished with Spencer, why don't you pay Addison another visit? The bitch hasn't learnt her lesson."
I fucking lost it then and whipped round searching for Stephanie, I lunged for her but was held back by Des.
"I'm going to fucking kill you Cooper!" I raged helplessly as my newest friend wrapped a tree sized arm around me and held me to his body.
"Easy girl," he rumbled, "it's taken care of." He gestured with his large hand to the entrance to the quad where two police officers were making their way towards us.
It was like a John Hughes movie as Stephanie was escorted out of the quad to a round of cheers from all the kids. I was called to the Principals office where another interesting discussion took place. My crew came with me to offer support.
I was surprised to be greeted warmly by a woman I knew only from photographs, Austin and Maggie's mother. It took me a moment to gather my hormonal brain from the floor where it had dripped out of my ears. This had to be the best looking woman I'd ever seen. She and Austin were so similar it was scary, Austin lacked the confidence and poise but if that came with age I wasn't so sure I was sleeping with the right sister! Ever seen Grey's Anatomy? Yeah? OK, Kate Walsh...yeah I know, how fucking hot? Saying that Maggie took after her father who was a very handsome man and she had the pick of his genes. Honestly, you'd never know they were sisters, she was more of a Jordana Brewster with a twist of Megan Fox . Again fucking hot and lucky, lucky me!
I was snapped out of my lust induced daze when Austin introduced me. Knowing I wasn't out to my parents, Kyla had spoken to Austin's mom who had agreed to speak for me until my parents could be informed. They would need to be involved if I was going to press charges, which I definitely was. She explained that she would stand in for them until I got around to explaining everything. She even offered to come with me if I needed support or thought they might like to talk to her about having a gay daughter, or in her case daughters! I thanked her and by that time the Principal had called the two of us into his office.
This was the day for interesting discussions and it seemed Kyla had prepared well. I won't give you a blow by blow account but here is the gist of the conversation and the cause of my current predicament which I will elaborate on later.
So, it seems that Addison and I were going to be expelled, along with the other kids in the video, for accusing upstanding students of heinous crimes with no real evidence. I was about to go ballistic when Caroline, Austin's mom, stepped in.
She presented him with a file about three inches thick. Then explained that it contained over a hundred reports of harassment based on sexual orientation that had either been ignored or the victims orientation had been recorded on their permanent records with notes to disregard any further complaints. Some students had even been encouraged to leave the school or risk negative information being passed onto colleges. It seemed this happened when the accused students had influential parents, especially those involved in fund raising or actually on the school board.
Fuck me! I had no idea it was this bad. I knew complaints weren't acted on but to pro-actively chase gay students out of the school was illegal.
The evidence acquired by Kyla had been legally obtained and it was backed up by footage from the school's own security tapes, of which the original copies seemed to have conveniently disappeared. Kyla had found the back-ups stored on one of the main frame computers. All in all a very damning report and it was likely that he would be facing a criminal sentence as well as being fired. The board would also be overhauled at Governor level and new members personally appointed.
I left the office completely stunned. It seemed Kyla had realised how big this could be and had contacted Caroline before we ran our final snatch and grab. She's a smart girl that one. Given the far reaching consequences I was advised to tell my parents as soon as possible and assure them that all legal matters would be dealt with confidentially by her firm, free of charge.
I also found out later that the FBI got involved. It seemed Christian had triggered their interest and we were told much later that we could have prevented a more violent and bloody incident occurring. A 'cull' he had called it when they had questioned him. Fucking scary!
I was so upset it took me quite a while to calm down. We skipped the rest of our classes and we went to Kyla's house to discuss the days events. Although I had managed to totally unwind at the party and fully intended on speaking to my parents that weekend other events got in the way.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
OK, first impressions? Same old, same old. It was a bit strange sitting a class sober but I took notes and everything. Yeah, something I got out of rehab, I've decided to actually try at school. I'm not dumb, just academically dis-interested, or was until now. I'm taking Spanish because I'm already pretty fluent, Art which I'm not bad at either and of course Music. They made me take a few other classes for my college applications but they're the only ones I don't actually mind. Like? Like is too strong a word for my vocabulary. Love? I loved my dad and that's it. My mom? She's jet-setting as usual so she's palmed me off on people who don't know me. Great start eh? Dumped by my own mother when I'm trying to stick to the straight and narrow. To be honest it's probably for the best, she doesn't exactly inspire me to sobriety.
So King High? It's what I expected. Big, loud, full of kids. That too sarcastic for ya? Have I met anyone nice, that I could call a friend? No. I haven't said two words to anyone all day. I'm not feeling social. I'm just going to find a quiet corner and eat my lunch, head off to art class then look forward to my other passion after school.

Approaching our table I said a quick hi to everyone who was there
Lunch was fun. We had a good gossip and filled each other in what we'd been up to over the summer. Thankfully Kyla kept her word and there were no theatrics.
"So Spence, how was Ohio?" Kyla asked me interestedly.
Maddy had her head resting on her friends shoulder. Sorry, girlfriend's shoulder. They were still keeping it fairly quiet that they were a couple because of Madison's parents. She didn't want them finding out from some neighbour who's kid might go to King. It was news she was going to break sometime but wasn't sure when.
"Quiet," I shrugged. "It's a small town, not a lot to do. I mostly read and took a load of photos with my Grandpa's old camera."
"What about your friends?" Addison asked. She was sat next to me and as usual our thighs were pressed tightly against each other. Her hand would stray now and again to touch my skin.
"Again, not much to tell." I shrugged again. "I've changed, my old friends don't really know what to make of me any more."
There had been a quick catch up, small talk but the bond had gone. I hadn't told anyone I was gay, their bigoted comments when the subject came up convinced me to keep my mouth shut, then there was the fact it might get back to my parents. That's still an issue I have to deal with.
"I'm sorry Spence," Addy murmured quietly.
"It really doesn't matter," I explained. "None of them were half the friends you guys are," I meant every word and was met with proud smiles.
"Thanks Spencer, I don't know what I'd, we'd do if you went back," Madison uncharacteristically volunteered. I gave her a shit eating grin, that meant a lot.
"I don't think there's any worry of that," I smiled again. My family were well and truly entrenched in L.A. now.
"Addison, hey," We all looked up at the stranger, well to Ky, Mads and myself. Addison and I turned to face the newcomer, I was very impressed by what I saw.
"Oh, Cassie hi," the greeting was returned. Cassie eh? Addison seemed caught off guard, I was curious to know what the story was here.
"Sorry, I just saw you sitting here and thought I'd come say hi, so uh hi," the gorgeous girl fumbled for her words. She seemed a little uncomfortable.
"Remember at the party I told you I'd be starting school after the summer?" She provided, Addy just wasn't catching up.
"Yeah, uh sorry. I uh, had other things on my mind that night," she eventually volunteered, what was with her? She usually had a lot more poise than this.
"So it seemed," the dark beauty purred. Addison's gaze snapped up and she frowned. "Must have been good if you forgot about me," Cassie continued. She was hitting on Addison, I wasn't jealous, just curious to know the story behind this confrontation.
"Mind blowing," Addison purred right back with a sexy smirk. Her hand was resting possessively on my thigh.
Kyla and Madison were trying to choke quietly in the background. Their amusement wasn't lost on Cassie. Instead of getting offended she broke into a wide smile, I was dazzled, bloody hormones!
"Glad to hear it, I was kind of hoping we could get together sometime," she was unfazed. "But..." she nodded down at Addison's hand on my thigh which had slipped under the hem of my skirt.
"Sorry, my girlfriend wouldn't be too happy about that," Addy happily enunciated the word girlfriend and Cassie's eyes widened.
"So you're trying the whole girlfriend thing again?" She mocked Addison. "How long's it been? Couple'a weeks? Getting bored yet?" She was grinning now.
"Kate and I have been dating for one year two months and thirteen days," Addison smugly answered much to Cassie's surprise.
"I'm impressed, although I can see why," she purred as she gave me the once over. Maddy and Kyla were still in fits and Cassie was starting to look confused.
"Hi!" Before any one could enlighten her Amy appeared and gave me a peck on the lips as she dropped her book bag on the ground and a pile of books on the table.
"Hey babe," I pulled her close by her belt and gave her a deeper kiss, I hadn't seen her for weeks and had a craving for the little blond.
"I've missed you," I purred, pulling her down into my lap. Addy moved her hand and brought it up to run through my hair.
"I've definitely missed you too Spencer," she growled as I slipped my hand under her top so I could caress her stomach.
"Uhg! I can't stop, I have to take these books back before class," she groaned as she lent her head on my shoulder. "Can you fit me in before practice?" She smirked, totally unembarrassed.
"Well, remember what kinda trouble that got you in last time!" Kyla cautioned, wagging her finger at the pair of us.
"Speeencer!" Maddy cautioned with a shake of her head.
"I, um can't, I've um got to go pick up..." I mumbled the rest of the sentence. Madison, Kyla and Addy were pissing themselves.
"Oh, Fuck Off!" I yelled at them. It just wasn't fair.
"Sorry Amy, Spencer has to come with me to pick up her cheerleading uniform," Madison was only too happy to explain my embarrassment.
"What the Fuck?" Amy was astonished and jumped up off my lap and stared at me, hands on hips.
I hung my head in shame.
"I know, I know!" I growled. "It wasn't my idea!" I threw my hands up in self defence. Addison came to my rescue and filled in the blanks.
"It seems that because Spencer was instrumental in getting the head cheerleader expelled the new Principle has decided that we, the students of King High will look up to and admire Spencer Carlin. She has therefore decided that Spencer must take a position of authority amongst the student body,2 she lectured in an authoritative tone.
"Yeah," Madison continued the tale of my downfall. "Apparently, as Stephanie was both Student President and Head Cheerleader, Spencer has to take one of those jobs until a replacement can be found."
"So!" Kyla took over. "As Spencer has ruled herself out of being Student President on the grounds of 'deviancy'," Yes there were air quotes. "and questionable moral fibre. She was only left with one choice. Being a slut also matches the job description."
"Hey!" I was outraged. A lot of sex does not equal a slut if it's restricted to a small group!
"Spencer's not a slut she's a pimp!" Madison helpfully clarified. Cassie looked baffled.
"I think it's just so she can watch girls in short skirts all day and cop a feel," my delinquent brother yelled from where he was sat with Aiden and Brad.
"You're just jealous!" I growled and flipped him the V. But in my eyes it was the lesser of two evils, at least I'd have Madison with me, and hot girls!
"Green is soooo not my colour," he shot back in a high pitched valley girl imitation. His reply made us all laugh.
"Spencer! I'm speechless," Amy was laughing at my discomfort, that wouldn't do. I pulled out all the stops.
"Amy!" I growled as I looked up at her through slitted eyes.
It wasn't phasing her and she just grinned back at me. Oh god! My reputation was in tatters.
"You!" I pointed at Amy. "I will deal with later," I growled. "Call me." She nodded and I didn't miss the darkening of her eyes.
"Yes Spencer," she nodded quickly and cast a look over her shoulder as she headed to the library. Addison chuckled and I turned to glare at her.
"Losing your touch Spence?" She teased as she pushed her hair out of her eyes.
"What do you think?" I purred as I moved in, close enough to kiss her. Her breath hitched and she pulled back sharply, giving me a very wanton look.
"So, you're not Kate?" Cassie interrupted the moment as she waved her finger back and forth between me and Addison.
"I'm Spencer Carlin. Pleased to meet you." I held my hand out as I officially introduced myself, I threw in a smile and a head tilt for good measure.
"Casandra, Addison and I dated for a while." Lucky Addison, I said as much.
"Lucky Addison." I didn't miss the glance from Addison. Hmmmph serve her right for making fun of me.
"Heh, yeah well. That didn't last too long." Addy looked guilty, I'd have to get to the bottom of that one. "This Kate must be a pretty special girl to keep you occupied, or are you keeping yourself busy elsewhere?" Cassie fished for information as she took in the interaction between Addy and I.
"Addison is 100% faithful." I confirmed with a smirk as Addy's had disappeared up my skirt again.
"Whatever!" She shook her head in disbelief at our behaviour. "Listen, I'd better go. I'm sorry, no hard feelings?" She offered her hand for Addy to shake, it was taken with a smile.
"Water under the bridge?" Addy asked in a softer tone
"Yeah, OK. See ya around?" Cassie nodded as they shook.
"See ya," she waved as the olive skinned girl turned and left.
"Another time!" Addy growled bad temperedly and scowled at us.
"Uh, huh!" I agreed shooting her a coy smile. "Good catch!" We all exchanged smirks and began to pack up for class.

As I was eating my lunch I was scoping out the talent. There were a lot of very hot girls here I was pleased to see. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all I mused as a cute, petite girl with short blond hair carrying an arm load of books caught my eye. I smiled at her as she walked past and was surprised to get a sultry grin in return. Yep, maybe this wasn't going to be as bad as I thought. You haven't lost the touch Davies.
After lunch I walked into art class and looked around for a spare desk. Not seeing one I was forced to stand awkwardly until a pretty girl waved me over. Even in my embittered state I was never one to turn down a pretty face. I wandered over and took the seat she had cleared for me at the large table.
"Hi, I'm Chelsea," her warm voice introduced herself. She seemed nice enough so I made the effort.
"Ashley," I took my shades off and nodded politely.
"So, new here?" She wanted to chat, I didn't but couldn't find it in me to be rude to her.
"Isn't it obvious?" I smiled weakly, I don't really have a genuine smile any more. Every expression is tailored to get me what I want.
"Um, a bit," she chuckled and ducked her head shyly. I liked her which was rare for me. See? I used the word 'like', an emotive word. Very rare.
"Not a big talker?" I shook my head and pulled out my sketch pad and pencils.
"S'OK. I can talk for the both of us. If I annoy you just tell me to shut up," We both smiled at her comment.
"Don't worry I will," I confirmed without meeting her eye.
"I have a feeling you will Ashley," she said with a chuckle.
I spent the rest of the class in silence only speaking to bid Chelsea goodbye. She smiled back at me with an unreadable expression. I could tell she was straight so it wasn't that. She left with a shake of her head and a quick backward glance.
Women! I shrugged and headed off to the gym.

Next on Bringing it Home:
'Addy do you know how long it is since I got laid?' She gave me a look.
'A freakin' month, are you surprised I'm uptight?' I growled as I look up at her and she grinned back at me. I'd been in Ohio for four weeks. They should rename it the desert state. Fuck Arizona, Ohio was as dry as a fucking bone!
'Well, the offers always there Spence,' she laughed and tugged me by the hand 'C'mon, let's get you seen to.'
She was loving this. I sulked, being pulled along like a naughty school kid.
