SPENCER'S P.O.V
"Spence I've never liked complimenting her but she really does have an amazing voice"
She really does.
"Maddy I couldn't agree more"
Everything Ashley does tonight is turning me on.
"You two are going to have crazy sex tonight"
"We really are"
We both start laughing as Ash makes her way back over to the booth.
"That was pretty good Ash"
"Madison did you just compliment me?"
"Yer, yer shut up"
She turns so she's facing me.
"Spence I'm pretty sure your friend just hit on me"
"I would have been disappointed if she didn't"
I quickly slide out of the booth and move so i'm standing in front of her.
"You're ridiculously good looking and Phoebs is quite the player"
I lean forward gently pressing my lips against hers.
"Do you want another drink?"
"Yer but I'm paying"
"No you're not"
"Spencer I don't mind"
"Well I do"
I'm not going to start living off her because she's rich.
"Do you have to be so stubborn?"
"Ash i'm not going to just sponge off you"
"Come on Spence don't be ridiculous"
Did she really just call me ridiculous?
"Watch it Ashley or you'll be playing with yourself later"
When I say that Maddy starts laughing.
"Damn Spence you have her so whipped"
"Maddy do you want another drink?"
I reach down wrapping my fingers around Ashley's.
"No i'm alright Johnny just grabbed me one"
"Okay well we'll be back"
When I start leading her through the crowd i'm not surprised when we get stopped.
"Can I please grab your autograph?"
"Yer sure"
I watch as the girl pulls out a marker.
"You're very well prepared for moments like this"
When she says that I want to laugh but I don't.
"Ash i'll meet you at the bar"
"Okay"
I keep walking and when I get to the bar I notice Khloe.
She's making out with some chick.
"Hey could I just grab two Bud Lights?"
"Yer sure"
"Spence?"
When I turn around Khloe's staring at me.
"Yer..."
It's then I notice her.
"This is Rachel"
I can't believe this is happening.
"There you go is there anything else I can help you with?"
"Aaahhh no that's all thanks"
"Twelve dollars"
I quickly pass the bartender a twenty dollar bill and turn back to where Khloe's standing.
"That was pretty insane"
Khloe has no idea that the girl she was just making out with is the same girl I was telling her about earlier.
"Yer it was"
When I answer my eyes are locked on Ray-J.
"Are you alright?"
"Yer i'm fine"
"Spencer I had no idea you two knew eachother"
I really can't stand her.
"Khloe's not my girlfriend Ray-J so this time it's fine"
"You're Ray-J?"
"Yer"
I watch Khloe as she runs her fingers through her hair.
"Spencer I had no idea"
"Khloe it's fine"
I honestly mean that.
"I'm actually kind of glad I ran into you"
When I say that Ray-J looks stunned.
"I want you to start working with Ashley again"
"I thought you hated me"
"I do"
I'm not going to lie and pretend I don't.
"Spencer that night was a mistake and i'm so sorry..."
"Don't"
She can't be serious.
"Ray-J we'd met several times and you knew Ash and I were together"
"It was a mistake"
"No it wasn't you wanted it to happen"
When she doesn't answer me I know i'm right.
"I know how much Ashley loves me and I know how much she regrets everything that happened, but with you it's different"
I'm not going to sit back and let her insult me with her lame apology.
"You wanted more from her and you didn't give a shit about what that meant for me"
"It was six years ago Spencer and any feelings I had for her are well and truly gone"
Finally she admits it.
"She doesn't care about me like that so none of this should matter"
"It shouldn't matter?"
She can't be serious.
"Are you fucking serious?"
She's not answering me.
"She was my girlfriend and we were living together so don't tell me it didn't matter"
"I didn't mean it like that"
I'm trying not to get annoyed but Ray-J's making it really hard.
"Look Spencer you're not going to believe me when I say this"
This should be interesting.
"But if I could have my time again that night would never happen"
She sounds convincing but I know I can't believe anything she says.
"She's crazy about you Spencer and I saw how miserable she was when you left"
She's the reason we broke up and it pisses me off that's she's been there these last six years and I haven't.
"She's a good friend of mine Spencer and I want her to be happy"
I certainly wasn't expecting this.
"And look I know that sounds ridiculous coming from me but you two are perfect for eachother..."
"Hey"
When I turn around Ashley's standing there.
"Hey"
"Spence is everything alright?"
"Yer"
She's staring at Ray-J.
"Here's your drink"
"Thanks"
I smile when she reaches out wrapping her arm around my waist.
"Hey Ray-J"
"Hi"
Well that little interaction was incredibly uncomfortable.
"You sounded great"
"Thanks"
This awkwardness needs to stop.
"Okay so this is incredibly awkward"
When I say that they all look at me.
"Let's grab shots"
I really don't like Ray-J.
But I need to start tolerating her for Ashley's sake.
"And she's buying"
Khloe starts laughing when I point at Ray-J.
"Okay"
She might regret agreeing to that.
"Hi what can I get you guys?"
"We're after shots"
"What kind of shots?"
"Expensive ones"
Now Ashley's laughing as well.
"We have an imported Tequilla that's thirty five dollars a shot"
I was hoping they were going to say more than that but that will have to do.
"We'll have four"
"I can't believe you guys left me by myself"
I smile when I hear Maddy's voice.
"Make that five"
"What are you getting?"
"Imported Tequilla shots"
When I say that Khloe starts laughing again.
"Spencer aren't you unemployed?"
"Yer but Ray-J's paying"
It's then she notices Ray-J.
"Spencer please let me kick her ass"
"Madison you're not kicking her ass"
I watch as the bartender pours our shots.
"There you go that's one hundred and seventy five dollars"
"Thanks"
I get a little bit of satisfaction when Ray-J hands over her card.
"Okay everyone cheers"
I wait for everyone to grab their drink.
"Wait what are we cheersing to?"
"How about we make a toast to Ray-J hooking up with someone that isn't my girlfriend?"
I'm a little tipsy and clearly only Madison and Khloe found that funny.
"Okay Ash that was a joke"
I lean across gently brushing my lips against hers.
"Wait who was she hooking up with?"
Maddy and Ash seem surprised when I point at Khloe.
"That's gross Khloe"
"Okay I'm standing right here"
When Ray-J says that we all start laughing.
"Cheers"
I quickly down my shot as Khloe walks over to where i'm standing.
"Spence can I talk to you for a second?"
"Yer"
She's been really quiet these last five minutes.
"Spence I had no idea"
"Khloe seriously it's fine"
"If I had of known"
I don't like Ray-J but i'm certainly not going to stop Khloe from hooking up with her.
"Khloe you're a good friend and I appreciate that you're considering my feelings but if you like her that's honestly fine by me"
"Really?"
"Yer I doubt i'm ever going to like her for what she did but she's an important part of Ashley career and I really think I need to start focusing on my future with Ashley and stop dwelling on the past"
I reach out pulling her in for a hug.
"Khloe if you're desperate and there aren't any decent chicks available i'm okay with you and Ray-J hooking up"
She's laughing.
"But you can do so much better"
I had to throw that in.
"Let's go"
When we get back to where they are everyone stops talking.
"Okay this is ridiculous"
Now I have there attention.
"Look I can't stand you but unfortunately for me your a necessary part of her career"
I nod in Ashley's direction.
"So i'm okay with you two doing whatever it is that you two do"
As long as it all stays strictly professional.
"But stay away from me and don't fuck around with my friends"
I had to add that last bit.
"Great now that's sorted we can get back to enjoying the night"
I reach down wrapping my fingers around Ashley's.
"There's a hell of a lot of people staring at us right now and by the looks on their faces they're waiting for a fight"
If these people read the tabloids they know who Ray-J is and they know about our situation.
"So you should come join us at our booth and we can all act like we love eachother"
"I ummmm"
"Ray-J it's fine i've been pretending I like Johnny this whole time so i'm sure I can do the same for you"
When I say that they both start laughing.
"Spence you haven't really been pretending that you like Johnny"
She makes a good point.
"That's because Johnny's a dick"
"I've been telling her that for years"
I've well and truly had enough of Spencer and Ray-J time.
"Okay well as much fun as this is i'm going to go back to the booth"
When I leave they both start following me.
Why can't life ever be simple?
