Chapter 28
We were all staring at our mother standing there in the doorway.
"What are you doing here Paula?"
"Arthur, can we please talk?"
"Kids, why don't you guys all go to the movies or bowling or whatever you would like to do. Let me and your mother talk."
"We love you, dad." We all walked over and hugged him.
"I love you too Mr. C." Ashley even hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
We all walked outside still trying to soak in everything that we had just learned about our parent's past.
"What do you guys want to do?" I hoped that my brothers would agree to do something together but never know with Glen.
"I actually think I am going to head home, you guys should be alone and talk about this as a family." Ashley said looking at me and my brothers.
"You are a part of this family Ash, so no you are going bowling with us!"
Wait…. What…. That was Glen that spoke up and told Ashley that she was a part of our family…
"Stop looking at me like that Spencer. She is your girlfriend and as far as I'm concerned, she is probably going to officially be my sister one of these days so might as well start now."
I had no words… So I just ran up to him and hugged him. I was surprised when he actually threw his arms around me and hugged me back. We stayed in that embrace for a few minutes before we let each other go.
As soon as we were done hugging, Ashley come in between us and hugged Glen. He acted the same way he did with me and hugged her right back but wasn't all nice about it.
"But! If you ever hurt her in anyway, don't think I won't come after you!" He said looking at her smiling but being serious at the same time.
Ashley stepped back and grabbed my hand looking me in the eyes. How did I get so lucky? That's all I could ask. Between my girlfriend, my brothers, my father, how could life get any better?
"Ok enough of this mushy lovey stuff, are you ready to get your butts handed to you?" One guess as to who that was.
Yup, that would be Glenn in all his athletic glory. He thinks just because he is this big athlete and amazing at basketball, that he is great at everything. Ugh, why couldn't we have another girl in the family. My parents could adopt Clay but not a little girl…
"Hey Spence you going join us or just stand there staring off into space?"
" Yeah, yeah! Chill, I'm coming… Besides, I'm the only one that can beat Glenn's ass haha" We all just laughed, Glenn quickly pressed his foot against the gas pedal jerking the car forward and towards the bowling alley.
"This night is going to be interesting!"
"Oh come on Ash, you know you love it!"
"I love you!"
"Awe and I love you too!"
"Omg, would you guys cool it with all the lovey dovey crap."
"Glenn, your just jealous because my girlfriend is hot and well, you don't have one haha"
"Your right, I don't have one….. I have many!" Knowing him he is probably right…
We pulled up to the bowling alley about 20 minutes later. Luckily, it wasn't that busy so we were able to get two lanes and just have some fun. We bowled three games and every time, Ashley beat Glenn. I get definitely get used to nights like this, just spending time with my brothers and the girl I love. Unfortunately, we have to go home as some point and deal with the wrath of Paula.
