Chapter 36
Spencer's POV
An hour isn't much really. It's sixty minutes.. 3600 seconds.. Who is counting? Why I was feeling nervous? Maybe because Ashley was right and I felt that something was wrong with Helena's attention to me. I don't know why on earth she thought that we would be partners in my office. And actually I can't remember if I ever told her to come and work for me. But I do remember that I haven't said no when she told me she would leave her job.. Naïve much? I know. I am..
She called me when I was ready to get inside the shop to find Ashley. I debated with myself if I should pick it up or not but I knew that she wouldn't stop calling me. So I did answer her back and that's where I am now. Waiting for her, at my girlfriend's work. Thank God Ashley didn't freak out when I told her.
"Hey baby, do you want something to drink?"
"No, I am ok Ash.."
"She is late or it's just my imagination?"
"She is late"
"What do you think she wanted to discuss?"
"I think about the place she wants for us to rent"
"Have you decided yet?" I knew that look and that look meant that she was thinking. When she was thinking like that I hated it.. She made me worry..
"Ash, you will be the first person to know. I have it in the back of head to tell you the truth. But I need to talk to my dad first because I don't have the money"
"ok"
"Baby, Madison is looking at us"
"Let her look. If she finds out she found out. I can't do anything about it. She knows I am with someone. What left for her to know is to find out with who I am."
"Helena.."
"No, Spencer. I am with you"
"No, I mean she is here.. She is crossing the road"
"Ohh.."
Ashley didn't leave. She stayed there till Helena was inside. When she got inside I saw she had a huge smile that actually fainted when she saw Ashley was here as well..
"Ashley?"
"Goodmorning Helena. How are you this fine day?"
"I am good. Thank you" I could see the tension between those two. If I didn't know any better I would say that I was the apple of discord.. Two women fighting over me..
"Now if you excuse me I have to go back to work. Tell me if you need anything baby"
For the first time she kissed me in front of her co-workers. Well, after that kiss I don't believe Madison should worry about who Ashley was dating.. The whole shop found out..
"Ehm.. Is she working here?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"No. I don't have any problem"
"So, Helena. What would you like to discuss?"
"About the place Spencer. You didn't answer my phone calls for the last couple of days and since the place was still out I called the guy and told him.."
"Wait, wait. You called the guy? Helena, I never told you we were going to be business buddies. I never told you that I was planning to open a practice office and I am sure I never told you to call anyone to hold it back. What is it that you are doing?"
"I thought that since I left for you from the firm.."
"You left for yourself and not for me Helena. I never told you to follow me. You wanted to come with me. I am sorry if you misunderstood me but I need a secretary and not a business partner. If I do rent the place you can be my secretary. Or else you can find something else"
"What are you saying Spencer?"
"What I am saying is that whatever you have in your mind forget it"
"I can't believe this. I really can't. This is your girlfriend's fault right? She told you to say all these things. Because a month ago you were saying different things to me.." she was starting to act strange and her reaction caused Ashley to steer from where she was and look back to us.. She was ready to come at out table..
"Helena, no one told me to say anything. Everything is in your mind.."
"I was waiting for you all this long. I stayed when that asshole for a boyfriend you had was treating you like shit.. And then you met her and you changed.. She changed you.." she said and grabbed my hands with a little force.. I got scared..
"Helena"
"No.. I can't accept it. It was supposed to be me and you. Not her. She changed you.."
Before I say anything else Ashley was on my side..
"What is going on here?"
"It is your fault. You.." Helena grabbed Ashley's shirt and I really didn't know what to do.. Immediately Madison and another guy came to help us. God, I didn't expect all this to happen..
"Let go of me you psycho.."
"It's your fault. Your fault. If it wasn't for you Spencer would be mine" she said while screaming. I felt so embarrassed. All this was happening where Ashley was working
"Ms, if you don't stop we are going to call the police. This is a bakery shop not a prison to fight like this" this was Madison that was holding Helena from her waist trying to calm her..
"Let me go. I said let me go. I am ok."
"Are you sure?"
"I said I am ok."
Ashley was right by my side, holding my hand and trying to see if I was hurt or anything when at the same time I was doing the exact same thing.. I couldn't believe what happened. I couldn't believe how wrong I was for that girl and how right Ashley was..
"Are you ok Spence?"
"I am fine. I think"
"You have the worst taste Spencer. First your boyfriend and now her. You could be with me"
Helena said looking at Ashley with so much hate. She was that crazy and I didn't know all this long? She didn't say anything else. She just opened the door and left us there looking at each other. Me, Ashley and Madison. I have to say that if she wasn't there she would hurt Ashley really bad.. So I owe her..
"Who was that psycho?"
"Spencer's former secretary" Ashley said pointing in me.. Madison and I haven't introduced properly..
"Do they pass a test before you hire them? If not you should start doing that test. She was fucking crazy"
"Tell me about it. I hope it's the last time we saw her"
"I hope for your sake that it is. So.. Ok.. I am going to leave you two alone"
"Madison, wait.."
"You know my name?"
"Yes, I just wanted to thank you for holding her back. If you didn't I don't know what she would do. So thank you"
"No problem. So I guess you are Ashley's girl?"
"Yes, it's me.."
"Now I understand why you were coming here all the time.. If I had someone like Ashley I would do the same.. And Ashley.. I approve.. You have nice taste"
"Thanks Madison"
If you told me an hour ago that I would thank Madison and I would start liking her, not that way of course, I would say that you were lying. If you told me that Helena was crazy I wouldn't believe you either. But I guess people surprise you. Sometimes it's a good surprise sometimes it's a bad surprise..
"Are you sure you are ok baby?"
"I am fine. I.. I just want to say sorry Ash.. I am so sorry. I shouldn't have brought her here"
"Spence, if you didn't who knows what would happen. I am glad it happened here and I really hope that was the last time we saw her. I feel kind of scared to tell you the truth. People like her are unpredictable and they just don't understand of the word 'no'."
"I am sorry for not believing you. You were right from the beginning"
"Doesn't matter. What matters is that now you know who she really is.."
"Yeah.. So can we really change the subject? Are you going to come with me to take Emma from school?"
"Of course I will. But I can't till 3pm.. Are you going to stay here or are you going to go back home?"
"I don't feel like driving right now so I am going to stay if you don't mind"
"No problem baby. I am going to bring you something to eat and some coffee. Ok? I'll be back in a few"
An hour.. What can really happen in an hour? A lot. That's the answer..
