World Tour
Chapter 6 – Las Vegas
"Princess. Princess. Princess." Ashley continues to yell repeatedly while jumping on Spencer's bed to wake her up. They have reached the T-Mobile Arena and Ashley is excited to be in Vegas for the next 4 days. Spencer reaches up and grabs Ashley's hand roughly pulling her down next to her. Spencer wraps her left arm and leg around Ashley.
"Sleep." Spencer whispers out. Ashley smiles over at the blonde, moving Spencer's blonde hair out of her face and tucking it behind her ear.
"We are in Vegas and we have a big day. You've had enough sleep until later. You are staying with me while we are here. I am giving you the best Vegas experience EVER!" Ashley lightly pushes Spencer off her and jumps up. "Now come on, Sleeping Beauty. The day awaits." Ashley pulls Spencer up from the bed and grabs both of their bags. Ashley jumps happily out of the bus.
"I'm not staying with you in your fancy ass penthouse." Spencer proclaims as they climb into the SUV.
"Morning John." Ashley lets out excitedly to their driver. "Yes, Spencer you are." Ashley finally acknowledging the blonde's statement.
"Then I am paying for half of it." Spencer demands. Ashley laughs at the younger singer. Spencer glares back.
"The fuck you are. Someone's got jokes this morning. Plus, it is already paid for. I've been planning Vegas since before we left L.A. Just let me give you the experience of your life then you can go back to acting poor." Spencer grumbles at the brunette's words and crosses her arms over her chest. "Come on, Princess. I swear you will have the time of your life and it will so be worth it. Just let me give you this."
"Fine, Ashley." Spencer sighs out in defeat. She knows she isn't going to win this one with Ashley. Spencer allows the brunette to win, just this one time. It is almost 8 in the morning by the time they reach the Aria. Ashley rented one of their two-bedroom sky villas. They arrive at the hotel and make their way into the lobby.
"Ms. Davies, Welcome." A man greets Ashley grabbing the bags from her. Spencer watches the man suspiciously.
"Hello" Ashley let the man take the bags. They went over to the counter.
"We have everything ready for you already. We just need you to sign and I will show you to your room." Ashley and Spencer follow the man. Ashley did everything she needed to do for them before both singers follow the man to their living quarters. Ashley has never been to this hotel before, but she did her research and they have the best penthouses in Vegas.
"Thank you" Spencer tells the guy and hands him a hundred dollars.
"Hey!" Ashley yells. Spencer rushes the guy out of the door.
"You pay for the room. I can tip which I know is nothing compared to what this room ran you. So, close your mouth. I don't want to hear it."
"Dominant one." Ashley smirks at Spencer. "Let's check this place out." Ashley spoke once again, quickly changing the subject.
"Ashley this damn place is bigger than my place in L.A." Spencer grumbles out. "Why do you need this big of a closet on vacation? Do people stay here for months or something?" Spencer adds walking into the huge walk in closet.
"I wouldn't but some people probably do." They walk through the suite. Spencer is completely thrown off by the size of it. Ashley grew up in the life; she is living now. All of this is new to Spencer. Ashley is grateful she gets to be there experiencing a lot of Spencer's firsts with her. Spencer may not like living like she is rich, but Ashley can see the impressed and excited look on her face. "Pick a room, Princess."
"You paid, you pick."
"Just pick. We will only be sleeping in them anyways." Ashley announces. The blonde picks up her bag and drops it into one of the rooms. Ashley takes her bag to the other room. Ashley rejoins Spencer in the living room area. Both women sit on the couch staring out the window at the view of the city.
"So, what is the plan?" Spencer questions the brunette next to her.
"Well… We sleep then we get up. At some point, we need to go shopping. Neither of us have a dress and shoes to go out in. We are going to the Jewel nightclub tonight. We have a free day tomorrow with no show. We are so taking advantage of that."
"I can't go to a nightclub. I am still a baby." Spencer professes. Ashley lets out a deep laugh. Spencer glares at her and slaps her arm.
"That's cute." Ashley lets out between laughs. Spencer slaps the brunette's arm once more. "Okay. Okay. One... Never call yourself a baby again. Only allow your 'partner' to use that as a pet name. Two… It was cute so stop smacking me. Three… We are famous, Princess. We can get in anywhere. Four… Tonight, you are not Spencer Carlin from Ohio. Tonight, you are Spencer Carlin the hot, talented, chart topping, bad ass singer. Nothing less than the best and tonight everyone around the room will know it." Ashley causes the blonde next to her to drop her head into her hands, trying to hide the deep red that crept onto her face. Ashley always knows what to say to get Spencer to feel like the most important person ever. Ashley has a way of making Spencer feel worth more than 2 Grammys and Numerous other music awards have ever made her feel. "Let's get some sleep, Princess before we hit this lovely city. You wake up before me, wake me up. I will do the same if I wake up. If not, I will set an alarm for about 4. We have tons to fit in today. You, my awesome princess, will be too hung over tomorrow to want to do anything. So, tomorrow… we relax." Ashley happily kisses Spencer on the cheek then skips into her room. Spencer watches her go before walking into her room. Spencer closes the giant curtains before flopping down on the bed and allowing sleep to take over.
(9 Hours later)
"Wakey, wakey Princess." Ashley whispers into Spencer's ear after she moves Spencer's hair from her face. Spencer stirs a little bit but doesn't wake up. "You are even more beautiful when you sleep." Ashley whispers staring down at the younger woman. Ashley just sits on the bed and watches the blonde sleep, forgetting she needs to wake her up. After a few minutes Spencer began to move around.
"You know, I'd still be with the boyfriend I had when I was 14 if I wanted to be creeped out by someone." Spencer admits to Ashley as she meets her eyes with brown ones.
"Ha. Ha. Ha. So, you got jokes all day instead of just this morning." Ashley stands up from Spencer's bed. Before Ashley can begin to walk away Spencer reaches over and grabs her hand pulling her onto the bed. Spencer straddled the brunette.
"Did I hurt the bad ass Rockstar's feeling?"
"Feeling?" Ashley looks quizzically up at the blonde. "What are those?" She adds with a laugh and pokes Spencer on the side causing her to squirm. Making Spencer squirm on top of her wasn't the best idea Ashley ever had because it caused the blonde to grind into the woman below her. Ashley bit her bottom lip, keeping the little moan in that tried to escape. Ashley clears her throat and began to breathe once again. Spencer's body had the same reaction and it caused the blonde to jump off Ashley.
"So, shower then hit the town?" Spencer asks after she composes herself. Ashley nods her head. Spencer grabs Ashley's hand and pulls her up off the bed. "Well, my bed isn't going to shower you. Go, then we have fun." Spencer giggles lightly pushing Ashley towards the bedroom door.
"Because that wouldn't have been fun." Ashley grumbles out sarcastically. Spencer ignores Ashley's comment and continues to push Ashley out of her room. Spencer finally gets Ashley out of the room and she watches Ashley disappear into hers. Spencer closes her bedroom door and leans against it.
"This is becoming too hard." Spencer whispers to herself with a sigh, running her hands over her face.
"PRINCESS!" Ashley yells out banging on Spencer's door after she took her shower and got dressed. "If you don't come out here right now. I will come in there and pull you out whether you are dressed or not." Ashley says through the door.
"Fuck! One more minute, geez." Spencer says throwing her bedroom door open. "Are there flies in here you are trying to catch with your mouth hung open?" Spencer jokes pushing Ashley's chin up. Spencer is standing in front of Ashley with a pair of light blue tight jeans with a red lace bra on.
"Spencer Carlin, the comedian not the singer. I'm glad I know which persona is accompanying me this evening. Now, if you can put a shirt on that hot body of yours, we can leave. We have lots to do." Ashley implies impatiently. "Do not put on the blue shirt if you are putting on red converse." Ashley states still watching the blonde's movements.
"14 year…"
"Well maybe you shouldn't be so damn sexy and beautiful people wouldn't 'creepily' stare at you. Be some beer bellied old guy and I wouldn't look at you." Ashley proclaims to the blonde then sticks her tongue out at her.
"You can do other things with that." Spencer whispers under her breathe.
"Quit complaining and let's go. Put the black shirt on with the red hoodie and move it, time is wasting away." Ashley calls over her shoulder as she walks over to their fridge and grabs two bottles of water.
"Okay boss, I'm ready to go." Spencer tells Ashley as she walks out of her room putting her hoodie over her head. Spencer grabs the water Ashley handed her. "Thanks for dressing me, mom." Spencer adds with a smirk on her face.
"UGH! You would. I am too damn hot and young to be anyone's mom and little mini-Me's running around? Oh, hell no! I'd go fucking insane. I can only handle one of me." Ashley says freaking out. Spencer shakes her head and giggles at Ashley.
"No one can handle more than one of you, Ash. I am glad you agree with everyone."
"I'm going to tape your mouth shut if you keep that up. Go ahead tell another joke."
"Who says they are jokes?" Spencer throws back with a smirk. Ashley glares at the blonde. Spencer opens her water and takes a drink of it. Ashley walks by squeezing Spencer's water bottle causing the clear liquid to cover Spencer's face and hoodie.
"Now, that's better than tape." Ashley smirks at Spencer.
"That went up my nose." Spencer yells turning to face the retreating brunette. Ashley starts laughing.
"That's what you get, Princess."
"Run!" Spencer warns.
"What?" Ashley turns to face the blonde, looking puzzled. Spencer doesn't say anything else, she lunges at Ashley. Spencer almost had the Rockstar, but Ashley quickly moves around the counter. "Stop, Princess. You deserved that and you know it. Stop messing around and let's go." Ashley points her finger at Spencer sternly.
"Fine. I will let it go for now, but I have to change first." Spencer runs into her room switching hoodies then rejoins Ashley by the door.
"Okay, got cards, money, and room key." Ashley confirms with herself as she checks her pockets.
"Hey, Ash?" Spencer whispers sweetly while she stands in front of Ashley with a small smile on her face.
"Yeah, Princess?" Ashley looks up at the younger woman. Spencer pushes her back against the counter lightly. The blonde brought her lips up to Ashley's ear.
"You ever make me wet like that again and not the only way I love to be wet, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Spencer whispers out as her lips graze Ashley's ear. Ashley freezes at the words that left Spencer's mouth.
"Mmm." Ashley couldn't stop the moan that lightly left her throat when Spencer took her earlobe into her mouth then released it. Spencer smirks at Ashley and walks out of the main door.
"Times wasting!" Spencer yells before the hotel door closed behind her. Spencer walks over to the elevator and pushes the button, still waiting for Ashley to join her. Ashley finally comes out of the room but won't met Spencer's eyes nor speak. Spencer let them stay in silence knowing she won that round.
"John should be outside already." Ashley finally finds her voice to speak to Spencer as they walk out of the lift.
"Ready for this madness?" Both women lightly smile at each other before putting their hoods over their heads.
"Ms. Davies, Ms. Carlin?" Someone calls out. Both women turn towards the voice. "This is Will, and this is Daniel. These gentlemen will be accompanying you tonight while you are outside of the hotel. We got a call from a Travis McCoy."
"Well, don't get too close and we do not wait for you. We don't follow you. You will NOT under any circumstances butt into our conversations, not matter what you hear. And NOTHING and I mean NOTHING we say gets repeated, Got it?" Ashley states firmly looking between both men. They look at each other than to Spencer, who wears an amused look on her face. "No, No, don't look at her. She won't save you. Do you get what I said?" Ashley pulls both guys attention back to her. They nod their head frantically at Ashley. "Who are they going to protect us from? They fear me." Ashley says to Spencer who is still wearing an amused look.
"And I'm dominant one, my ass." Spencer tells Ashley.
"Just looks like we have something to enjoy fighting over." Ashley winks at Spencer then walks ahead of her out the door. Ashley waits outside the car for Spencer to climb in first. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" Ashley asks one of the men. She isn't sure if he is Will or Daniel, but he just made the wrong move. Ashley grabs him by the back of his black blazer and pulls him back out of the SUV.
"Most people…"
"Look here men in black, first wrong doing is thinking you are putting yourself in between us. Second, don't ever think you will get that close to her again. Third… well, I don't have one, but I will cut your fucking legs off if you ever try that shit again. Now switch places with the other dude in the front cause I don't want you near me." Ashley shouts at the guy then climbs in next to Spencer.
"Ash?" Spencer grabs the brunette's hand, getting her attention. Ashley looks sadly at Spencer. Spencer didn't say anymore. She squeezes Ashley's hand and nods her head. Spencer understands the feeling to protect each other from any newcomers.
"Where we off too ladies?" John asks once he has taken his place in the driver seat.
"First we are going to Fremont street, we have an appointment in 20 minutes." Ashley claims.
"What's there?" Spencer inquires to the brunette.
"You'll see and you'll love it. I, on the other hand, will fucking hate it but it will be worth it." Ashley smiles sweetly at Spencer. "John?" Ashley says getting the drivers attention at a red light.
"Yes, Ms. Davies?"
"I would like it if you stay next to us and these two can just follow a few feet behind and be there just in case we need them. Is that alright with you?"
"Of course, Ms. Davies. I will do anything you need." The driver tells Ashley. Ashley smiles.
"Ashley, you realize being in a big city like this, it's going to be like we are in L.A.?" Spencer questions the older woman.
"I know Spence but if we have our hood over our head since it is dark already, that's all we should need but all the lights might be an issue. I just hope we can get through this without being noticed. It won't take long. I am hoping we can get in, do what we need too, and then get out." Ashley explains to Spencer. The blonde singer smiles at Ashley. Spencer knows Ashley thought everything completely through. She knows Ashley would never try to put her in a place or situation that would get her hurt. Ashley has always, since the day they met, done everything she could to show Spencer that she wants to protect her anyway she can. Spencer will quickly show anyone that she will do the same in return. After a 20 minutes car ride, they reach their destination.
"Have you been here before?" Spencer wonders looking over at Ashley.
"I've never been to this part of Vegas, but I made a list of things, I knew you would love to do while we are here. Plus, things I really would like you to experience."
"Well, let's do this." Spencer says happily. Before the girls hit the crowded street of Fremont, they pull their hoods onto their head. Ashley whispers into John's ear hoping he would know where to go but he didn't. John asks the security guards that the hotel has with them. They escort them where they need to go.
"You ready for this, Princess?" Ashley asks. Spencer just smiles at Ashley, still not knowing what they are doing. Spencer is amazed by all the lights and the way it looks. She has never seen anything like it.
"I am more than excited for what you have planned for us right now." Spencer exclaims. Ashley smiles at the blonde. They reach the bottom of the stairs. Spencer looks up and realizes what they are doing.
"Are you sure you are ready?" Ashley asks again.
"Are you ready? I'm not the one scared of heights?" Spencer asks as they begin walking up the stairs with John following them. Spencer has never been on a zipline before and they are about to do something she has always wanted to do. Once they got to the platform Spencer starts walking toward the instructors. Ashley grabs her arm and stops her.
"We aren't going on this one. We are going on the higher one. We have more stairs to climb."
"What? Ash, you don't like heights why would you do this?" Spencer questions as she follows the brunette up more stairs.
"I already told you why, Princess. The experience for you is enough for me to fight my fears." Ashley affirms to the woman walking up the stairs next to her.
"I told Will and Daniel to meet you at the far end. Once you get strapped up, I will make my way down there. Don't leave the bottom of the stairs without me." John breaks Spencer and Ashley's conversation.
"Thank you." Ashley tells John happily. Spencer smiles at him as he continues to follow them up the stairs. Once they make it to the top Ashley shows one of the people their tickets from her iPhone. There isn't a line because she reserved the time slot for the two of them. They both get their harnesses on and wait to get connected to the line.
"Ash, are you sure you want to do this? We don't have to. I can't grab your hand to comfort you on this."
"You'll be next to me that whole way, I'll be okay." Ashley admits to the blonde next to her.
"You better be okay when we get to the other side." Spencer firmly tells her.
"If it becomes too much, I will look over at you and I'll be okay." Ashley confirms, smiling at the blonde as they start to get connected to the line.
"I'm worried you won't be okay because you are face down." Spencer tells her. Ashley smiles at the blonde.
"Just have fun and stop worrying about me." Ashley says before they got launched off. Ashley keep her eyes over on Spencer the whole time. Spencer spreads her arms out and let herself feel like she is flying. She loves the flying feeling she is having. Ashley keeps her arms clinched at her chest the whole time while her eyes were kept on Spencer. She knew the only way she could get through this is keeping her eyes on the blonde on the line next to her. Ashley admires the freeness and fun Spencer seems to have as they zip down Fremont street, 11 stories high.
"That was so fucking amazing." Spencer yells to Ashley once they reach the end and wait to be pulled the rest of the way in.
"I'm glad you had fun. I knew you would love this." Ashley tells Spencer once they are on the platform and taking their harnesses off.
"I did love it. Thank you for being so amazing." Spencer exclaims. Ashley doesn't reply with words, she just smiles at the younger singer. Once both are free of all the zipline equipment, Spencer grabs Ashley and hugs her tightly. Ashley hugs her tightly back. Ashley loves that she can give Spencer the best time of her life.
"I'm glad you enjoyed that." Ashley whispers into Spencer's ear as they continue to hug. Spencer pulls back and looks Ashley in the eyes.
"What's next?" Spencer asks as she unwraps her arms from Ashley.
"Now, we go somewhere to freak me out even more, but it is enclosed so I will be a lot better." Ashley admits before pulling Spencer down the stairs to meet John and the body guards.
"Where we off to now?" John asks as he walks up to the singer when they make it to the bottom of the stairs. Ashley again whispers in his ear where they are going. John follows closely behind the singers as they all walk back to the parked SUV. Will and Daniel walked several feet behind John.
"What is your name?" Ashley asks as one of the guards get in next to her and it is the one, she didn't yell at.
"I'm Will." He announces. She smiles at him but says nothing more. The other guard Daniel glares back at her. Ashley smirks at him then turns to Spencer.
"And he thought he'd get close to you, the fucker." Ashley whispers in the blonde's ear causing her to shiver. Spencer smiles at Ashley once she pulls away.
"Thank you for always protecting me." Spencer in return whispers into the older artists ear causing her to shiver. Ashley can't handle Spencer whispering in her ear anymore after the incident in the penthouse. It causes a whole lot of sensations to go through Ashley. She knows now having the blonde so close to her isn't going to be a good thing. Ashley doesn't know how much longer she is going to be able to hold her feelings inside of her without Spencer fully knowing how she feels.
"We are going here but I only planned for us to eat here." Ashley admits as they pull up to the stratosphere.
"What do you mean? What's here?" Spencer wonders. She didn't pay attention to where they pulled up too.
"So, we are going high off the ground but not where there are a few rides at the very top. I will not go on them even with you being with me, I will shit myself. There is a restaurant here called 'Top of the world' that I hear is good, I thought dinner here would at least be enough for you. I can't do the heights of this building with the rides being on the top." Ashley admits.
"Just dinner is fine. I am starving." Spencer tells her as she follows her out of the door John is holding open for them.
"You guys can stay down here." John tells the security guards once they reach the elevator inside that will take them to the restaurant. "You can go hang out over there at the bar and order food while you wait for us." John adds handing them 3 hundred dollars before walking into the elevator with the singers. Ashley reaches into her pocket and counts out the money she seen John hand the guards and tries to hand it to him.
"Take this." Ashley tries to push money into Johns hand again.
"That isn't necessary Ms. Davies. I know how hard it is for both of you to trust anybody. I know neither of you want to worry about anyone turning this into more than it is so being out three hundred dollars to have your back is worth it to me." John claims pushing Ashley's money away.
"You don't need to pay for it though. We are more than happy to have you here especially because we trust you. Please, take the money back." Ashley tries again to hand the money back to John.
"How about I just join you ladies for dinner, and you pay for it? Maybe give me a big tip later?" John tells Ashley not wanting to take her money because he has grown attached to the singers.
"That works for us, but you can't complain later that our tips are too big." Spencer cuts in. She knows that Ashley won't let the driver off the hook. He eyes them both before nodding his head, accepting the offer. They finally step out of the elevator to go to the Top of The World restaurant.
"Reservation under Davies but if it's not too much of a problem we have an extra person." Ashley says hoping it won't be a problem that John is now joining them for dinner.
"We are pretty full and only have you down for a two-person table. We won't be…" The young boy at the podium stops talking when he looks up to see the singers. "That um…" The boy clears his throat. "That won't be a problem Ms. Davies. It will just be a couple minutes." The young man tells Ashley then scurries away.
"That poor boy almost choked on his own words." Spencer says giggling.
"I can make people choke on a lot of things." Ashley says to Spencer with her eyebrow raised and a devilish smirk.
"Ashley!" Spencer squeaks out.
"What?" Ashley questions laughing at the shocked look that is displayed on the blonde's face. Spencer shakes her head at Ashley and starts a conversation with John.
"OH MY GOD, YOUR…" A girl starts to yell excited that she is sitting next to Spencer.
"Ms. Davies?" The hostess pulls all 3 of their attention to him and away from the fan.
"Got to go." Spencer sighs relieved that they were called for their table. She doesn't want to deal with fans right now. Spencer is starving and just wants to enjoy dinner.
"Let's get this grub." Ashley says rubbing her stomach.
"If I had never seen you in person and only listened to you talk, I would think you weighted like 400 pounds. You talk like you eat for 20 people."
"What can I say? I love to eat." Ashley blurts out.
"I don't doubt that at all." Spencer smirks at the blushing brunette.
"That was uncalled for, Princess."
"You walked into that wall all by yourself." Spencer throws back. They get seated out their table. All three of them thanking the young boy. "This view is amazing." Spencer admits staring out the window she is next too. Ashley is sitting beside Spencer and John is across from Ashley.
"We've been seeing a lot of those lately." Ashley states with a giggle. "We need to start trying to keep out feet on the ground more often." Ashley continues with a smile.
"I think after this we can arrange to do that for a while. You have been amazing. Thank you." Spencer responds.
"I was thinking…"
"That's never good." Spencer interrupts Ashley laughing. Ashley lightly pushes Spencer causing the blonde to laugh harder.
"I thought I said I wanted the singer today? Why do I keep getting the Comedian?"
"As I recall you said and I quote 'you are Spencer Carlin, the hot, talented, chart topping, bad ass singer.' I think you just forgot to add comedian in there. So, I helped you out and just keep reminding you, it should have been added." Spencer smirks over at Ashley.
"What am I going to do with you?" Ashley says shaking her head at the blonde. Spencer grinned from ear to ear at the brunette.
"Do you know what you are having?"
"Since you aren't on the menu, I have no idea yet." Ashley throws back at Spencer. The younger artist starts shaking her head.
"Ashley Marie!" Spencer says horrified by Ashley's response.
"Spencer… Wait, I don't know your middle name. Why the hell don't I know it? What is it?"
"That will count as a question." Spencer states firmly.
"I'll just google it." Ashley replies then sticks out her tongue.
"That's cheating. You can't do that." Spencer exclaims before snatching Ashley's phone from her hand.
"Tell me what it is." Ashley almost demands. Spencer smirks at her but left her with no answer.
"How has the tour been for you John? How is all that driving?" Spencer ignores the brunette's pouting and starts a conversation with John. All through dinner went like that. Ashley continuing to pout but still eating her food. Spencer either just enjoyed her food or made small talk with John. Ashley refused to answer Spencer if the blonde tried to talk to her.
"Don't even dare!" Spencer exclaims as Ashley tries to hand the waiter her card to pay for dinner. Ashley looks over at her but didn't say anything. Spencer hands her card to the waiter while glaring at Ashley. "You didn't have conversation with me over dinner, you don't get to pay for it. If this was a date, you wouldn't be getting another one." Spencer states while continuing to glare at the brunette. Ashley pouts even more and still didn't say anything. "If, you don't open your mouth and speak, we won't be going to that club tonight."
"Told you, the dominant one." Ashley finally gives in with a devilish smirk. Spencer shakes her head at Ashley. She grabs the black book from the waiter, writes his tip, and signs it. Spencer takes her card and hands the book back.
