World Tour

Chapter 5 – Adventures

"We are at the stadium." Zack says over the loudspeaker on Ashley's tour bus. He has been Ashley's driver since her very first tour. They just got done with a show in Portland and have now reached their next stop in Kent, Washington. This is the worst part of the tour, these four days. They did a show in Portland, Oregon last night, they have one tonight in Kent, they have one tomorrow night in Spokane, Washington, and then they have one the next night in Boise. Ashley rolls over and glance at the clock. It was almost 5 in the morning. She looks over at the other bed. Spencer is sitting against the wall with headphones in, writing in her notebook. Ashley climbs out of her bed and lifts Spencer's arms and pulls her legs down. Ashley lays down placing her head in the blonde's lap. Spencer smiles down at Ashley then put her notebook over Ashley's face and began writing again. The Rockstar grabs Spencer's headphones and pulls them out of her ears.

"HEY!" Spencer exclaims moving her notebook off Ashley's face glaring at her.

"That's exactly how I feel when you sit things on my face."

"Maybe, I'd rather look at my notebook instead of your face." Spencer says raising an eyebrow, challenging the brunette in her lap.

"Take it back." Ashley states firmly. Spencer doesn't say anything. "Take it back." Ashley states once again. Spencer continues to challenge her.

"Make me." Once the words left Spencer's mouth, Ashley moves and pins the blonde to her own bed. Ashley began to tickle the younger singer. Spencer starts laughing and squirming around trying to get the upper hand. Spencer is too weak right now because of the laughing Ashley is causing her to do.

"Take it back, Princess." Ashley states again. Spencer continues to try to get out from underneath Ashley while still laughing. The blonde finally finds a way to get Ashley. Spencer grabs both Ashley's hands. Spencer uses her lower body and flips them over. She pins Ashley's hands above her head.

"You really thought you could win?" Spencer smirks down at Ashley.

"I knew you liked be the dominant one." Ashley smirks back, knowing the statement would make the blonde let go. Spencer let go of Ashley's hands and got up from the bed.

"Where are we?" Spencer asks realizing for the first time that the bus is not moving.

"We are in Kent at the venue. It is time for us to go to the hotel with John." Ashley answers standing up from the bed and starts fixing her clothes. "Even though you didn't say it, I knew I'd get you to give first." Ashley whispers as she walks by the blonde with a smile on her face. Spencer glares at Ashley before grabbing the bag she packed on their way. Ashley grabs her bag then follows the blonde, still smirking. She loves that she has been able to get to the blonde in the tiniest of ways. They walk over to their SUV to meet with John.

"Good Morning Ms. Davies and Ms. Carlin." John says to the women as he holds the door open for them.

"Morning, John." Both reply then climb into the back seat. Both sat quietly as John drove them to the hotel they will be staying at for the day. The car ride lasts about 30 minutes before they are pulling up to a hotel.

"I love this part." Ashley declares.

"No paparazzi?" Spencer questions. Ashley nods her head.

"No one knows, where we are yet. By the time we wake up, everyone will know where we are." Ashley tells Spencer as she follows her out of the vehicle and into the hotel. After they get checked in, they start their routine.

"I'm going to call it a night." Spencer tells the brunette, who follows her into her room. Ashley gives Spencer a quizzical look before nodding her head.

"Alright. Sleep well. Goodnight, Princess." Ashley says and starts making her way to Spencer's door.

"What time is your rehearsal?" Spencer asks Ashley before she could make it out of Spencer's room. Ashley turns and looks at Spencer.

"At 3. Yours?"

"I was hoping you had an earlier time then I did. Mine is at 2:30, which is why I am already wanting to sleep. I didn't sleep on the way here and haven't been able to really sleep lately."

"You don't need to explain, Princess." Ashley smiles at the blonde then heads towards the door again.

"There is a reason I asked when your rehearsal is. I want to adventure. We haven't really done any sightseeing or anything yet since San Francisco and I have never been to Seattle before. Do you want to adventure with me?" Spencer explains.

"Wait… You've been on 2 tours before this one and you never stopped in Seattle?" Ashley questions very surprised.

"No, this wasn't one of our stops. So, you going to join me?"

"Sounds fun. After my rehearsal?"

"Yes. I'll meet you at the car at 2?" Spencer asks. Ashley smiles and nods her head. "Goodnight, Ash." Spencer adds before the door to the room closes Ashley outside of it.

(9 Hours Later)

Spencer is running late. She ran around her room grabbing the last-minute things she needs before bolting out of the room. By the time Spencer made it to the lobby, she is due at the arena in 15 mins.

"You okay?" Ashley questioned the blonde walking up to her. Ashley is sitting in a chair in the lobby.

"Just running late. I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Spencer says while still trying to catch her breath.

"It's okay. I had some e-mails to read anyways. It wasn't a big deal. I'm sure it won't be the first time and there will be times you have to wait for me. Don't stress it, Princess." Spencer smiles at Ashley's confession.

"Still I'm sorry but let's go. I already got us behind schedule for the day." Spencer says and starts walking out the hotel with Ashley in tow. There was only a couple paparazzi outside of their hotel which amazed both women. They entered their SUV and John drove them where they needed to be. John did the best he could to make up some time. Spencer was only 3 minutes late instead of being 15 minutes late. Both women took their turns watching the other do their rehearsal. After an hour, they were ready to leave.

"Where would you like to go first?" Ashley asks as they made their way back to John.

"Well, I am not sure. I don't know much about Seattle other than ferry boats and three sides of it is surrounded by water." Spencer admits to Ashley. Ashley begins laughing at the blonde.

"You've watched too much Gray's Anatomy." Ashley continues to laugh. "Okay, um… We don't have time to take a ferry. I mean we do if that's all you want to do before we need to be back at the arena. We can go on the great wheel, we can go to pike place market, we can go to the space needle, we can go well… I'm sure we can google some places. I have been here many times, but I have never really adventured."

"You are going to go on that giant wheel and isn't the space needle high also?" Spencer questions Ashley. She knows the brunette is terrified of heights.

"Yes, it is. I am only doing these things so you can have an experience of a lifetime, but you will owe me. Seattle needs to learn how to make more things on the ground." Ashley tells Spencer while shaking her head.

"I will owe you." Spencer replies. Ashley lends forward and tells John to take them to the Space needle first. Ashley wants to get the heights over with first so, she won't have to worry about it later. She wants to save the great wheel for after it gets dark. Ashley knows Spencer will enjoy it better at night. 50 minutes later they are pulling into a parking lot. John let both women out the back and slowly follows behind them. When John needs to, he acts as their bodyguard without being asked. John stays far enough behind Spencer and Ashley not to hear their conversation but close enough to be able to warn off any danger. Ashley and Spencer got up to the ticket window to pay. Spencer went to hand Ashley money and Ashley looks at Spencer like the blonde grew two heads.

"What do I want with that?" Ashley asks the blonde.

"It's for my ticket."

"You can pay for our next one." Ashley tells Spencer. Spencer nods her head putting her money away. Ashley hands John a ticket and they all went inside. The three of them look around. Ashley and Spencer laughing at one another as each of them tries on different things making funny faces and making the other laugh at the other's antics. They took several pictures of the other or together. Their day just started, and they are already having a great time.

"Time to go up." Spencer says excitedly and heads for the elevator pulling Ashley with her. As they wait for the elevator Ashley tries to keep herself calm. "Just like the roof, Rockstar. I got you and I won't let anything happen to you." Spencer whispers into Ashley's ear noticing she is starting to have a hard time. Ashley met Spencer's eyes before nodding her head and follows Spencer into the elevator. Once they are at the top, Ashley slowly made her way out with Spencer making sure to distract Ashley. Ashley calms down a lot when she realizes she had to walk out more doors to be outside. Ashley can handle being far up if she is enclosed.

"Oh fuck, I don't remember their being glass floors." Ashley gripped Spencer's hand tightly, seeing the glass floors in the distance.

"You've been here? And we don't have to go over there so you will be okay." Spencer inquires before trying to get Ashley's mind off her surroundings.

"Yes, when I was 12. My dad brought Kyla and me. He had a concert here. We spent the weekend here. That was a very good weekend. It was one of the first times that we got to hang out with him together." Ashley tells Spencer. Spencer pulls Ashley over to a bench. They took a seat. Both singers stare out over the view of the water in from of them with parts of the skyline.

"This is amazing." Spencer whispers never looking away from the view. Ashley turns her head to the right and looks at Spencer with a small smile on her face.

"It is." Ashley says then turns her head back to the view in front of her.

"Excuse me." A little girl says getting their attention. They both look down at the little girl. "My sister has a picture of you on her wall" She adds pointing at Spencer.

"Oh, that's nice. What is your name?"

"Emily."

"Hello, Emily. I'm Spencer and this is Ashley."

"She is on my brothers wall." Emily says with a giggle.

"Of course, the lesbian is on a boys wall." Ashley mutters. Spencer elbows her in the side. "What? She didn't hear me." Ashley whispers over to Spencer. Spencer glares at Ashley before turning back to the little girl.

"Do you listen to music?" Spencer asks.

"Not really. I am not really into it. I like playing with my toys, but I always hear my brother or sister's music. I know some." Emily admits to the singers.

"Hang on, okay?" Spencer asks the little girl who nods at her before Spencer starts to stand up. Ashley grabs her arm.

"Oh no, where you going? You can't leave me here." Spencer can hear the fear in Ashley.

"I will be right back. No more than a minute. Stay here with Emily." Spencer squeezing Ashley's hand before walking away. Ashley grips the bench below her and closes her eyes. She is trying everything she can to try to think of some other place.

"Are you scared, Ashley?" Emily asks taking a seat next to Ashley. Ashley nods her head. Emily grabs Ashley's hand. "It's okay. I have been here bunches of times. Nothing will happen to you."

"Thank you." Ashley lets out to the young girl next to her. She opens her eyes and looks down at Emily. Ashley can't understand how this little girl isn't scared of being so high off the ground.

"What is your brother and sister's name?" Spencer asks once she comes back.

"Derek and Amanda." Spencer autographs a piece of paper for each of Emily's siblings. She hands the paper over to Ashley. Ashley does the same thing.

"Give these to your brother and sister. If they are ever mean to you take them back. This is something you got for them. Don't ever let anybody run all over you and always listen to your parents." Ashley tells Emily as she hands her the pieces of paper.

"Where is your mom?" Spencer asks. Emily looks behind her and points at a lady that has been watching the whole exchange. Both artists walk the little girl over to her mom. They introduce themselves and Spencer tells Emily's mom about the autographs.

"They are going to be so happy but jealous at the same time." Emily's mother admits. "You are even more beautiful in person." The mother adds looking at Ashley blushing. "I'm Brenda."

"Someone's crush is as big as their sons." Ashley says flirting back. Spencer eyes them. This is the first time she has been around Ashley with her openly flirting with someone. Spencer is feeling uneasy about it and she isn't sure why.

"Who doesn't have a crush on you?" Brenda asks sarcastically.

"Spencer." Ashley states pointing at the blonde standing next to her. Spencer glares at Ashley.

"Not everyone likes the big ass head you carry around. I will meet you at the elevator." Spencer whispers before walking away still glaring at the older singer. Spencer reaches the elevator but continues to watch the exchange between Ashley and the mom of three. Spencer has no reason to feel jealous, but she feels it. She can't help the feelings that are taking over her body right now. Spencer wants to grab Ashley's hand and pull her away, but she knows she can't. Spencer knows Ashley is free to do whatever she likes with whomever she likes. It doesn't mean it doesn't bother the blonde. Spencer isn't going to admit that to anyone though. In a couple minutes, she will start denying it to herself. After what seems like a lifetime to the blonde, which was only a few minutes, Ashley finally comes up beside her at the elevator.

"You don't want to go outside?" Ashley asks the blonde. Spencer shakes her head. "Are you okay?" Spencer shrugged her shoulders. After a 5-minute walk, they all make it back to the SUV with John following.

"Where to now?" John asks as he climbed into the driver seat.

"The hotel. I am not feeling so good right now." Spencer informs the driver.

"Princess?" Ashley placed her hand on Spencer's thigh trying to get her attention. Spencer squeezes Ashley's hand before lightly pushing it off her thigh. Ashley sighs, she hates not knowing what is bothering the blonde. Ashley keeps wondering if she did something wrong. Ashley wonders if Spencer got Jealous. Ashley stares at Spencer all the way back to the hotel. Spencer keep her eyes fixed out the window, not once looking over towards Ashley. Once they pulled in front of the hotel, Spencer doesn't wait for John to open the door like usual. She opens the door and jumps out. Spencer doesn't even wait for Ashley.

"Is Ms. Carlin okay?" John asks pulling Ashley's eyes away from the retreating woman.

"I'm not sure John. This happened suddenly." Ashley answers the older man while getting out of the vehicle. Ashley makes her way to Spencer's room. She needs to figure out what is really going on with Spencer. Ashley has never been so confused by someone before. She isn't sure exactly what to do but she does want to check on Spencer even if the blonde won't talk to her. Ashley reaches Spencer's door and sighs before knocking. Spencer doesn't open the door, so Ashley knocks again, a little louder this time. There is still no answer, so Ashley knocks once again, louder and repeatly. Finally, Spencer swings the door open. Ashley jumps back, taking her hand with her as she almost knocked on Spencer's face that suddenly appeared.

"Usually when people don't open the door the first couple of times, they either aren't here or don't want to be bothered. That doesn't mean knock louder." Spencer snaps at the Rockstar.

"You can be mad, snappy, pissed off, take everything out on me… I don't really care but I need to know you are okay." Ashley states to Spencer walking pass her and into Spencer's room.

"I didn't invite you in."

"I'm not a vampire, I don't need your permission." Ashley delivers to the blonde that is allowing the room door to close. Spencer smiles over at Ashley shaking her head. "Well, got a smile that is a start." Ashley adds relaxing at the change in Spencer's demeanor.

"Funny." Spencer throws back then walks over to the bed and sat down.

"Want to tell me what's wrong, Princess?" Ashley takes a seat next to the blonde. Spencer looked over at Ashley with a sad look on her face.

"I'm not ready to talk about things inside of me, but know you did nothing wrong. I noticed the look on your face earlier. This has to do with me completely. You are an amazing friend, Ash. Thank you for that." Spencer declares to Ashley. The older singer grabs Spencer's hand and squeezes it. Ashley doesn't need to say anything for Spencer to know she understands. Ashley knows Spencer will come to her when she's ready to talk until then Ashley will just wait. Ashley won't make Spencer talk. She doesn't want to push the younger girl away.

"Come on. I have something we have to do before you have to be at the stadium in a little over hour." Ashley pulls Spencer up from the bed and pulls her out of the room. Ashley sent John a text to meet them out front.

"I have to be there in a little over an hour, Ash." Spencer firmly let out but still allows Ashley to pull her to the elevator.

"We are famous, Princess. We don't have to wait in lines. Where we are going shouldn't take long. You will be on time. You will love this, okay?"

"Okay." Spencer replies to Ashley as they get into the car. They sat in silence the whole drive to where they are going. Spencer still doesn't know what the brunette has planned because Ashley leaned up and whispered in Johns ear about their destination.

"You ready?" Ashley asks once John pulled the car into a parking spot. Spencer looks around them, trying to figure out what they are doing until her eyes meet the giant Farris wheel.

"You are going to go on that?" Spencer asks Ashley. Ashley takes Spencer's hand and pulls her out of the car.

"You need to experience things and I might be scared but putting that smile on your face is well worth the fear." Ashley wants to tell Spencer that she could face anything if the blonde is by her side, but she doesn't want to be so blunt. Spencer smiles at Ashley sweetly. Ashley lets go of Spencer's hand once they got around people.

"We need…" Spencer pauses and lookes at John.

"I'll wait down here. You ladies have fun." John answers Spencer before she could ask. Spencer nods her head at him with a smile.

"May I get two VIP tickets please?" Spencer asks the man at the little ticket booth.

"Your…"

"Yes, I am and that's Ashley. Tickets?" Spencer cut the man off. Ashley turns her head to look at the blonde. Ashley has never seen Spencer snap at someone who recognized her before. Spencer has always been nice to fans.

"Princess?" Ashley whispers to the younger woman. Spencer gives her a look that tells her to not say a word. Ashley closes her mouth and lets Spencer handle the situation. The man hands Spencer the tickets. Spencer grabs Ashley's hand and pulls them over to the small line. Ashley is still stunned by Spencer's sudden outburst.

"Are you ready for this?" Spencer asks, breaking the silence between them.

"You know we don't have to stand in this line?"

"Ash, it's not that long. We can wait." Spencer advises the brunette.

"To answer your question… No, I am not ready. Not only am I going to be so far off the ground I must make sure not to look under my feet. Fuck glass bottoms. What the hell is wrong with Seattle, really? They don't believe in non-see thru floors?" Ashley barks out. Spencer laughs so hard at Ashley, she let out a snort. Spencer throws her hand over her mouth still giggling.

"Wow." Spencer lets out, still giggling.

"That was cute." Ashley confesses to the blonde. Spencer rolls her eyes at Ashley, shaking her head. They make small talk with each other as they slowly move up in the line. Both women ignore the staring and pointing from the people around them. They don't care to acknowledge them. They want to enjoy the little bit of non-working time they have. They want to enjoy it together. They hand the young lady their tickets and wait for their gondola to come around. Ashley's nerves start to hit as she watches the car come closer. She noticed the glass bottom and knew it was theirs. Ashley began to frantically play with her hands. Spencer grabs Ashley's hand and squeezes it.

"You will be okay." Spencer whispers to Ashley. Spencer let go of Ashley's hand and walks over to the guy operating the ride. "Once we get in there can you just take us around once and let us out?" Spencer asks the man.

"Can I have an autograph?" He asks with a smirk. Spencer glares at him then grabs a marker out of her purse. The man smiles. Spencer reaches over and signs her name on the sleeve of his shirt.

"Around once." Spencer states him firmly then walks back to Ashley.

"What is that about?" Ashley asks Spencer as they start to walk into the gondola. Spencer smiles at Ashley and takes a seat across from her.

"Nothing." Spencer smiles at Ashley once again. Ashley continues to watch Spencer. She doesn't even realize they start moving. Spencer is watching out the window. The sun was almost completely set by the time they got to the top of the ride. "This is beautiful." Spencer whispers out once they stop at the very top.

"Yeah." Ashley says still never taking her eyes off the blonde in front of her.

"Thank you for today, Ash. It really means a lot."

"The fear has been well worth it." Ashley reveals to Spencer. Spencer smiles and drops her head to the glass floor trying to hide her blush. This causes Ashley to look down. "Oh fuck. Bad move. Bad move." Ashley screams out gripping her seat. Spencer tries to suppress her laugh.

"Look at me." Spencer proposes. Ashley keeps her eyes closed, trying to calm herself down. Spencer gets up from her seat and begins to move.

"What the fuck are you moving for?" Ashley exclaims. "I feel you moving. Stop!" Ashley adds loudly. Spencer takes a seat next to the Rockstar. Spencer places her hand under Ashley's chin, bringing her face up to meet hers.

"Ash?" Spencer whispers. "Look at me." She adds. Ashley shakes her head. Spencer smiles at the childlike sadness written on Ashley's face. "Please?" Spencer tries again to get Ashley's eyes open. Ashley opens her eyes then closes then shut tight again. "Please?" Spencer whispers once again. Ashley slowly opens her brown eyes to meet Spencer's blue ones. Spencer smiles at Ashley. "There you are." Spencer states. "Look." Spencer moved her face out of the way and let Ashley take in the view. "Don't look down, just look straight out and admire it. You need to enjoy this too." Spencer explains to the fear filled brunette. Spencer grabs Ashley's right hand with her left. She interlaces their fingers and rubs her thumb over the top of Ashley's hand. This action alone got Ashley to stay calm the rest of the ride. Once they were off the ride, Spencer got Ashley to take a picture with her. Ashley being her goofy self, sticks her tongue out and makes a funny face before the picture got snap. Spencer is looking over at Ashley smiling, not even looking at the camera. Ashley paid for two pictures. The picture is too cute for them both, not have one.
