World Tour
Chapter 19 – Boston
(Spencer's POV)
I slowly started moving from out of Ashley's embrace to get out of bed without waking her up. We are in Boston and have a show tonight, but it is also Ashley's Birthday. I am getting up to order us breakfast and I have a couple of other surprises for her this morning. After I brush my teeth, I go to the main living area and order our breakfast. I made my way back into the bedroom and looked over at the beautiful girl still sleeping on the bed. I smile lightly at her. I hope she doesn't wake up before I can set everything up for breakfast. We have a busy night with our show, so I planned a morning date for her birthday. I also have a full day planned for tomorrow since we don't have another show until the 11th in Philadelphia. Ashley isn't going to like having to drive 5 hours in the SUV, but she will get over it. I am nervous about tomorrow. I have the whole day planned out. I just hope everything goes the way I want it too. There is a knock on the door and I quickly go to open it. I hope it wasn't loud enough to wake the brunette. I hand the young man some money and pull the cart away from him.
"Thank you." I whisper to him before closing the door. I turn around and push the cart over to the table and start placing the food on the table and removing lids. I ordered a full breakfast. Anything you could think of. I set it all out and go to the couch and start digging underneath it.
"I'm not sure anything is under there Princess." I hear Ashley's raspy voice from behind me. I stop trying to reach for what I have hidden under there and turn to look at her. "Oh no, don't move. I was enjoying the view." Ashley adds with a smirk.
"You aren't supposed to be up yet."
"People usually wake up when there is a knock on the door."
"Sorry." I mutter out. She is leaning on the doorframe of the bedroom so she can't see all the food on the table. "Go get ready, we have rehearsal in about 2 hours." I say trying to get rid of her without her seeing anything. Ashley slightly nods at me then turns around and goes back into the bedroom. I lay completely on the floor and reach as far as I can under the couch. I finally reach the bag and pull it out. I set the rectangular box next to Ashley's spot at the table. I grab the flowers that I got the night before out from the small cabinet they were hidden in. I place them in the center of the table. After looking over the table I nod my head and walk into the room to see how Ashley is doing. I don't see her in the bedroom so she must be in the bathroom. I grab some clothes and quickly change. I will shower before my show tonight. I walk back out to the table and take a sit, waiting for Ashley.
"Spence?" Ashley calls out.
"I'm in here." I yell to her. I hear her slowly make her way to me. Once she sees the table, she has a surprised look on her face and meets my eyes. "Happy Birthday Rockstar." I whisper.
"You did all this for me?" The brunette asks still surprised. I smile at her and nod my head. "Wow. I feel incredibly special right now." She adds. Ashley walks over to me and pulls me up from the chair and meets her lips with mine. "You are amazing." Ashley lets out with her forehead resting on mine.
"Let's eat. It's probably getting way too cold now." I admit ushering her to sit in the chair I want her in. I watch Ashley start shoveling food onto her plate. I watch her with amusement at the amount of food she plans on eating right now. Ashley stops her movements and looks up at me.
"What's this?" Ashley asks picking up the rectangular box from the table.
"It's for you. Open it." I answer her. She eyes me suspiciously before slowly opening the box. I hear her grasp when sees what is inside.
"Spence…" Ashley starts but stops. I continue to watch her not saying anything. I got her the same necklace she got me after we had been on tour for a month. A white gold necklace with a white gold microphone on it. I still haven't taken mine off since she put it on me almost 2 months ago. It was the first sweet thing; she had done for me and I wanted her to have a matching one.
"I wanted you to have the same one I have. It is part of your birthday present and represents three months of being on tour. I hope you like it." I admit shyly. Ashley gets up from her chair and walks over to me. She lends down and pecks my lips quickly before signaling for me to put it on her. I grab the necklace from her. She turns around and moves her hair out of the way. I reach around her and clasp it around her neck. After I am done, I place a light kiss right below her hair line and above the chain.
"I love it. Thank you, Princess." Ashley whispers out after she turns around and meets my eyes.
"You're welcome. Now let's eat." I say then sit back down. We make small talk while we enjoy our breakfast. Ashley thanked me for the flowers. The flowers are pink roses, one of her favorites. She has like 4 favorite flowers.
(Ashley's POV)
This morning was amazing. Spencer is so wonderful. That was one of the best things to happen on my birthday in my life.
"Thank you, guys, for the birthday cards and presents in my dressing room. I have the best fans." I tell my audience in Boston. They all begin cheering. I look over to the side of the stage. I wink and smile at Spencer before turning back to the audience. "I am going to slow…" I start to tell the crowd, but everything goes black. What the hell is going on right now. I start trying to look around me, but I can't see anything. The whole arena is pitch black. I start seeing flashlights on people's phones start to come on.
"HELLO AGAIN BOSTON!" I hear Spencer scream out. Oh, dear god! What is she doing now? "As we all know its Rockstar's birthday and I would like for everyone here to sing happy birthday to her. Is everyone down?" Spencer addresses the audience the whole time. She never looked back over at me. The lights on stage start to come back on. This woman is going to be the death of me.
"Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Dear Ashley
Happy Birthday to you" I finally look back over at Spencer after watching everyone sing to me. A smile never left my face. This woman is just amazing. Spencer has a cake in her hand with 2 number 2 candles on it. Where did she even get a cake from?
"Make a wish." Spencer tells me sweetly with a smile on her face.
"I don't see how I could possible wish for anything more in this life, I don't already have." I whisper to her. Spencer's smile grows even bigger and a blush covers her cheeks. I close my eyes. I wish for the only thing that comes to mind. 'I wish I never lose her.'
"Happy Birthday again Rockstar." Spencer says then kisses my cheek. I smile at her.
"Thank you. You are so full of surprises today."
"Alright. I will let you guys have her back now. Thank you for helping me sing to her. Enjoy this talented Rockstar. Until next time. I love you guys." Spencer says before smiling at me and walking off stage.
"Thank you, guys. Spencer just loves interrupting my sets. Now, as I was saying before the surprise is… I'm going to slow it down now and play my new song. I want to dedicate this song to someone very special to me who has made my birthday so amazing. She surprised me so much this morning. This is for you." I say quickly meeting my eyes with Spencer. I grab my guitar once again and get ready to start the song. I begin strumming my guitar looking over the crowd.
"Her day starts with a coffee and ends with a wine
Takes forever to get ready so she's never on time for anything
When she gets that come get me look in her eyes
Well it kinda scares me the way that she drives me wild
When she drives me wild
Beautiful, crazy, she can't help but amaze me
The way that she dances, ain't afraid to take chances
And wears her heart on her sleeve
Yeah, she's crazy but her crazy's beautiful to me" I meet my eyes with Spencer's smiling at her then start the next part of the song.
"She makes plans for the weekend, can't wait to go out
'Til she changes her mind, says, 'let's stay on the couch and watch TV'
And she falls asleep
Beautiful, crazy, she can't help but amaze me
The way that she dances, ain't afraid to take chances
And wears her heart on her sleeve
Yeah, she's crazy but her crazy's beautiful to me" I sing out. I look over at Spencer again and meet her eyes while I sing the next part of my song.
"She's unpredictable, unforgettable
It's unusual, unbelievable
How I'm such a fool, yeah I'm such a fool for her" I stop looking at Spencer when she looks down blushing. I bring my attention to my fans and finish out the rest of the song.
"Beautiful, crazy, she can't help but amaze me
The way that she dances, ain't afraid to take chances
And wears her heart on her sleeve
Yeah, she's crazy, she's crazy, she's crazy
But her crazy's beautiful to me
Her crazy's beautiful to me" I finish out the song and jump right into my next one. The rest of my performance seemed to fly by. Before I knew it, I was back in my dressing room. Spencer has me pushed hard into the door attacking my mouth. Her hands gripping my hips. My hands are in her hair.
"I love that song. You are special to me too." Spencer lets out lightly before meeting our lips once more. I smile into the kiss then pull back.
"I wrote it for you." I lightly admit. Spencer smiles at me then grabs me by the neck of my shirt and pulls me back into her lips. The blonde pushes me back up against the door and leans her whole body against mine. Both my hands are on the side of her neck. Hers have moved back down to my hips. Our tongues are fighting for dominance.
"Go changed so we can go back to the room. We have a big day tomorrow." Spencer tells me after she pulls away from me.
"What are we doing tomorrow?" I ask as I walk to grab my bag.
"This morning was just to acknowledge your birthday. My actual plans aren't until tomorrow and I have a lot planned." Spencer tells me with a sly smile on her face.
"Not going to tell me?" I question before walking into the bathroom.
"No." I hear her say. I smile to myself in the small mirror before quickly changing. I will shower at our room. I am excited to see what Spencer has planned for tomorrow. She didn't have to go through all this for me. I was fine with just the breakfast and the necklace. It was a very nice surprise. I really like that she wanted to make me feel special on my day. I am so thankful to have met her and that she is in my life. I never see myself letting her go. I never thought someone like Spencer existed. I love that she is in my life and is as great as she is. I make my way out of the bathroom and back into the room with the younger singer. I walk over to her and pull her into my arms.
"You are so amazing Princess." I whisper against the side of her neck.
"So are you." Spencer whispers back into the side of my head. I peck her lips before walking towards the door so we could go back to the hotel. "What about all your gifts?" Spencer asks then stops our movements.
"The crew is going to put them under the tour bus." I tell her as I start to pull her along once more.
"Hello girls." John greets us as we get to the car. He opens the door and we jump into the back seat. John gets into the car and starts to pull away.
"John, we have to make that trip tomorrow. I was thinking we could leave at like 8 in the morning." Spencer says to our driver. I look at her confused then turn to look at John to see his answer.
"I was thinking the same thing. That will bring us back in time for your plans." He tells her with a smile. Spencer smiles and nods her head.
"I have to get up at 8 in the morning?" I question the blonde next to me.
"No, John and I are going somewhere in the morning. I will be back at about noon."
"Spence, you will only get like 6 hours of sleep." I whine out.
"We are off for two days. I will be okay." Spencer tells me then squeezes my hand. "John, thank you so much for doing this. It is a lot more work for you then for me so really thank you so much for this." Spencer rants on.
"I will do anything for you girls and Ashley will love the plans. It is totally worth it. I'm glad you have each other." John speaks truthfully. Spencer drops her head blushing. I smile over at her then kiss her cheek.
(Spencer's POV)
I open the hotel door and make my way into the room. It is 12:25. I am a little late. It took me a little longer than expected to set everything up. We still have more than enough time for my plans, so everything is going to be okay. I hope Ashley is ready because I need to quickly shower, change, and put light make-up on. I walk into our bedroom and she is laying on the bed with the blankets pulled up almost over her head. She looks like she is sleeping.
"Ashley Marie!" I yell out. She doesn't move. Oh hell. She is going to make us so late. We need to be done with our Boston plans by 4 the latest to make it to where we are going on time. I walk over to the brunette and pull the blankets down. Ashley begins laughing. She is fully dressed and ready. "You ass." I let out through a giggle.
"I had too. I'm sorry." Ashley tells me sweetly before pulling me down on top of her. She grabs the back of my neck and our lips meet. "I missed waking up to you this morning." The Rockstar says against my lips. I smile then jump off the bed quickly. She is going to make us late. I grab my bag and run into the bathroom before she can stop me. I am done and ready by 1 o'clock. I send John a text to tell him we are headed down. Ashley and I make it down to John. He escorts us out of the hotel. We sign a few autographs and take a few pictures then get into the car.
"We are going to lunch first." I tell John so he knows where to go first. John nods his head. "I hope you are hungry. I haven't eaten yet so I thought lunch would be good to do first." I add to the brunette next to me.
"I could use some food. I didn't know what you had planned so I didn't want to ruin anything by eating." Ashley admits to me with a nose crinkling smile on her face. After about 15 minutes, we pull up to a very tall building in downtown Boston.
"Come on." I tell her grabbing her hand. Ashley doesn't move, she looks at me quizzically. "What's wrong?" I add concerned.
"We aren't going up there, are we?" She points at the tall building out the window.
"Yes, I know you love seafood and I hear it's the best place. Come on. I didn't get us a seat by the window." I try to convince her to come with me to eat. Ashley finally takes my hands and I help her out of the car. We are both in blue jeans and a hoodie. I didn't want to dress fancy today. There is no reason for it. We are at 'Top of Hub' for lunch. I make Ashley sit across from me so she can focus on me and not on how high up we are. She wanted to sit next to me at first. We order a small seafood platter with just water. We don't need to be drinking this early in the day. I have too much to do to be drinking right now. After lunch we go to Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum. It is 2:15.
"Wow Spence. This place is amazing." Ashley says excitedly as she starts looking at artwork on the wall. We slowly made our way around the whole museum looking at every single painting, sculpture, architecture, and everything else the museum had to offer. We had the best time. Our conversation about everything in the museum never died. I really learned how much Ashley loves Art. I learned that she wants a house full of amazing painting and that when we are in Europe, she wants to go to several famous museums. I made note of it so I can remember to make time so we can go. We are running behind schedule right now, but I don't care. We are having such a great time. We get into the car at 4:40pm.
"To the house now." I tell John. I look over at Ashley. She has a smile plastered on her face and she is staring at her hands.
"I had an amazing time. Lunch was great. That museum was just fantastic. I can't possibly think of anything else you could have planned. This… I… Thank you, Princess."
"We have about an hour and twenty minutes before we reach our destination so lets just rest." I tell her with a small smile on my face. I reach behind me and grab the blanket and pillow out of the back. I pull Ashley to the middle of the seat and place the pillow down against the back-passenger door I signal for her to lay down on the pillow. Ashley slowly lays her head down. I unfold the blanket. As I lay down, I cover my back and head with the blanket and lay on top of Ashley covering her up with it also. Our entire bodies from head to toe are covered. I smirk at her before meeting our lips together. Ashley places her hands on my hips. Our centers rub together through our jeans. I groan lightly. I heard music begin to start playing in the car. That causes Ashley to pull back and start giggling. I shake my head at her before grabbing the back of her head roughly and forcing our lips together once again. We make out for awhile before I settle my head on her chest. Ashley tightly wraps her arms around my back. I fall asleep listening to the beating of her heart.
"Ms. Spencer? Ms. Ashley? We are here." I hear John say. I pick up my head and look at the still sleeping brunette.
"Ash?" I whisper in her ear before taking her lob into my mouth. I didn't get to wake her up like this, this morning so I am doing it now. I've been waking her up like this every morning since after our first date, so it felt weird not to do it today. I'm glad I am getting to make up for it. I hear John start to get out of the car. After his door closes, I really began my assault on her neck. It didn't take long for her to start responding to me.
"Fuck baby." Ashley moans out. Her saying baby caused me to stop and look at her. That is the first time she has called me that. "What's wrong?" She asks while bringing my head up so I can meet her eyes. I shake my head and smile.
"Nothing. I like the sound of you calling me baby." I shyly tell her. She smiles at me and puts her lips on mine.
"Get used to it." She admits before pecking me once more.
"We are here. Come on. Let me show you where we are." I say while sitting up and out of her way so she can get up. I open my door and climb out but wait for her with my hand extended. After a couple moments Ashley grabs my hand and I help her out.
"Where are we?" Ashley asks looking up at the house. I smile and start dragging her towards the house.
"I rented it for tonight and tomorrow night. We are in Barnstable. The rest of our evening is being spent here. I am going to cook us dinner and we are going to just relax." I tell her excitedly. Once we walk into the house Ashley pulls my hand which hasn't left mine since she got out of the car. I turn towards her my front bumping into her front caused from the slight force she used when she pulled my hand.
"You didn't have to do all this." Ashley whispers looking into my eyes.
"You keep saying that, but it changes nothing because I did do it. Plus, I wanted to so stop telling me that."
"You are amazing."
"Don't give me praise yet. You don't even know if I know how to cook or not." I admit lightly. Ashley looked at me quizzically. I peck her lips quickly before walking away, holding in my giggle.
"Hey where you going? I wasn't done with you yet?" Ashley yells after me. I shrug my shoulders and continue walking away. I walk into the kitchen and start pulling things out of the fridge. We are having grilled shrimp, steak, and asparagus. I am cooking them on the barbecue that is on the deck. I walk out to the deck and start up the barbecue. Glad it is a propane one. It will go a lot faster. Once I go back into the house I start with the potatoes. They are going to take the longest. I wash them and poke holes in them before wrapping them into foil and go place them in the barbecue on the top shelf. I wonder where Ashley went too. I haven't seen her. She never entered the kitchen after me. I get the steak and shrimp prepared before I go in search of the woman, I'm trying hard to impress. I search the whole 5-bedroom two story house before finding her on the second story deck. I walk slowly up behind her and wrap my arm around her waist. I rest my chin on her shoulder and look out over the ocean.
"This view is amazing." I whisper never taking my eyes from the ocean.
"It's perfect." Ashley whispers back while putting her hands over mine that are resting on her stomach and leans the side of her head against mine. We stand there enjoying the view for a few minutes before I pull back and kiss her cheek.
"I have to go start cooking. I'll be downstairs." I let out lightly before unwrapping from her and make my way back down the stairs and to the kitchen.
