World Tour

Chapter 25 – Back in Los Angeles Continued

(Spencer's POV)

"I'm not sure why Ashley and Kyla are here." Travis states glaring at me and Glen.

"I texted her. If this meeting has anything to do with their relationship, Ashley has a right to be here and with her manager." Glen says smirking at the owner.

"Right, of course." Travis mumbles.

"The first thing we wanted to address is the little show in Miami." Ethan says.

"What about it?" Ashley asks.

"Why weren't we notified that you were going to come out?"

"I wasn't aware you need that much notification about my personal life."

"We could get you for breach of contract." Travis blurts out. I slightly giggle before biting my bottom lip to hold it in. Everyone in the room looks at me surprised.

"On what grounds?" I ask.

"That…"

"That I what?" I say cutting Travis off. "It doesn't say anywhere in my contract that I can't come out; it doesn't say that I need tell you anything about my personal life at all. The only thing is does state about my personal life is that I can't do anything that will affect my career in a negative way. As far as I've seen, it hasn't impacted mine or Ashley's career badly. If anything, this has brought more attention to us and the tour so back off and change the subject to something you guys actually have control over." I rant out. Everyone's eyes were looking at me, popping out of their head. Even my lovely girlfriend to the right of me that still hasn't let go of my hand.

"Nicely put sis." I heard Glen whisper after finally finding his voice.

"That was kind of hot." Ashley whispers in my ear. I lightly smile at her while trying to keep the blush off my face.

"Well since you are both here. There are some things we can fill you in on. Your guys photoshoot this afternoon will also be a shoot for a magazine interview you guys will be doing on Thursday. They want the first exclusive." Ethan says.

"Won't Ellen have the first exclusive since we have an appearance on her show tomorrow?" Ashley questions.

"It'll be your first magazine interview as a couple."

"I'm not sure I get the difference but whatever that's fine. We will do interview and the shoot for the magazine. What else?" I inquire. This meeting really was pointless.

"We want you guys in the studio to record. Your newest duet. Spencer, I want you in the studio and I want two songs recorded before you go back on tour. Your next album really needs to start seeing attention when you can give it. I want it out no later then the first week in October. You have until September to get it done. So, three months. I want you the final song list for the album and their lyrics no later than August first. Ashley, you need to be ready for your album release party in Friday. This is a big night for you. Will you guys be attending as a couple?"

"Yes, is there a problem with that?" Ashley asks sternly.

"Not at all. I just needed to make sure because either way we would have liked Spencer to attend. With or without being on your arm." Ethan pauses as he looks down at the papers in front of him. "I think that about covers everything. Anyone have any question?" Ethan adds.

"I just have one. Lindsey doesn't have to follow me around anymore, right?" I ask.

"No, this will be her last meeting to attend with you. I think you and Ashley seem more then capable to handle yourselves and your interviews. I already assigned her to someone else." Travis says. I nod my head at him with a small smile. Everyone looks at Kyla then to Ashley then over to Glen. My brother and Kyla shake their head. Everyone looks at Ashley.

"I have nothing. I think everything we need to do now is very much do able. I do have one thing to say. I 'WANT' to be included in all meeting with Spencer if even one sentence has to do with our relationship." Ashley states. Travis gives a slight glare before nodding his head. Ethan writes something down then both bosses mumble a goodbye before walking out of the conference room.

"Come on. We have an hour and a half to make it across town to our photoshoot." I tell Ashley.

"I rode here with Kyla so is it okay I ride with you." Ashley asks as we walk hand in hand making our way out the building.

"Of course. We are going to the same places." I tell my girlfriend.

"Ky, I'll call you after the shoot. I'm going to ride with Spencer." Ashley quickly hugs her sister before we continue our walk. I see Glen walking Kyla to her car. They seem more friendlier than usual.

"Have you found out that is going on with them yet?" I question the brunette.

"Kyla isn't sure. They are still trying to figure themselves out. I just think my sister is scared to get close to someone again. She got hurt badly in her last relationship, so I don't blame her hesitation. But she needs to realize that not everyone is the same. This could be good for her but shes not good at listening to people. She is going to have to figure it out for herself. I can just be there for whatever she decides. I only told her to be open with Glen about how shes feeling then maybe they could figure themselves out together." Ashley rants on with her hands and arms gesturing different movements. I never really realized how much she moves her hands and arms when she is explaining something. She is adorable.

"Well, I think you made the right choice. With what you just explained, she does need to figure this out alone. Only she knows how she feels and if it would be worth it to her."

"Hm… You are right." Ashley states with a smile on her face as we make our way to our photoshoot. I really hope we aren't there all night. That would just be insane. I can't want to be. I know I just spent all weekend alone with Ashley, but I still want more alone time. I can't get enough of her or spending time with her. "I really hope this doesn't take the rest of our day and night." The brunette next to me adds breaking our comfortable silence.

"You read my mind." I tell her quickly smiling at her before looking back at the road. Ashley and I made small talk all the way to the shoot. We went more in-depth of our schedules so we could see when we had to do things together exactly and what we want to do during our alone time. We talked about our up coming interviews and decided we would just take turns answering questions about the ones that have to do with each other unless they want an answer from both of us. We talked a little bit about her album release party. She basically wants me to stay right next to her all night. In her words 'I want to show off the most gorgeous woman in the world as mine all night because I have her on my arm'. I have no problem being right next to her all night. I would love every minute of it. We decided that we will go into the studio on Friday to record 'Perfect'. We should be able to finish it. That leaves us a free weekend well besides dinner at my parents again.

"Ms. Carlin, I need you to turn more into Ashley." Dave says. I sigh once again before turning my body more into Ashley's. It's not that I don't like being this close to my girlfriend, but this has just been ridiculous. Most of the shots he wants of us are very provocative and inappropriate. Ashley and I aren't like this in public. He seems to want to make us seem like we are just sexual and there is no love here. I look into Ashley's eyes sadly. Ashley reaches her hand up and cups my cheek bringing her lips lightly into mine.

"I will handle it." Ashley whispers. I nod my head at her.

"Yes, a little more of that and we will be good for a break to change wardrobe."

"Okay, look here DAVID! I don't know what you thought you were going to get with us here today, but this shoot is done until you and the damn magazine you work for get the shit right. We aren't some fake couple just looking for attention. I will not continue with this. You tell your damn bosses or whoever you need too, we are done unless you guys want to portray us the way we are and should be portrayed." Ashley rants out angerly before grabbing my hand and pulling me along with her, leaving a shocked Dave behind. Once we got back to our designated 'dressing room' Ashley dropped my hand and grabbed her phone from her bag. She is pacing back and forth with her phone to her ear. I walk in front of her to stop her from pacing, but she moves around me and continues pacing. My face fall and I look down at the floor. Ouch, that kind of hurt. I know not to take it too personal, but it still affected me. I feel Ashley wrap her arm around my waist from behind and pull me into her front. She places her mouth close to my ear.

"I'm sorry baby." She whispers. I slightly nod before leaning back into her embrace. Ashley quickly pulls back away from my ear. "No, fucking fix it and fix it now or we are out of here and the interview is off." Ashley basically screams into the phone. I'm glad she pulled away from my ear. "I don't care Ethan. We don't want to be portrayed like that. We aren't doing it. Fix it or we're out." Ashley finishes with a sigh before she hangs up her phone. I turn around in the older brunette's arms and her face instantly lodges into the side of my neck.

"If it was just us, you have to admit those pictures would have been so hot." I whisper then let out a giggle.

"Jokester Princess is here." Ashley says shaking her head in my neck with a light giggle. I smile to myself before wrapping my arms tighter around her upper body.

"Mission accomplished."

"Which would be?" Ashley questions pulling make and meeting my eyes. I reach up and rub my thumb over her cheek.

"Making you smile even just for a second." I let out lovingly still rubbing her cheek. Ashley smiles at me with a blush filling her cheeks. "Another accomplishment today. Yay me!" I exclaim. Ashley quickly buries her face back into the side of my neck. I know she is trying to hide her blushing face from me. I already seen it and it is just too cute. "I love you, Rockstar." I whisper out then kiss the side of her head. I feel and hear Ashley whisper 'I love you too' into my neck. I let out a little giggle and jump away slightly because it tickled my neck.

"Hello?" Ashley says pulling out of my neck a little to answer her phone. "Okay… Yeah… No… Okay, that's fine… No, that works… Thank you… Alright bye." That was a quick conversation. I hope everything has been worked out and we don't have to walk away from this photoshoot. We already did our solo and group pictures for the promo posters for the next part of our tour.

"So, what's the verdict?" I wonder.

"We are coming our shoot. David has been ordered to just snap pictures how we want to pose together and then at our interview, we get to go through all the shoots and pick the pictures they use for the cover and the article." Ashley explains with a pleased smile.

"That sounds great. Let's go get this over with so we can spend the rest of the night tangled together." I tell the older artist then pull her back to the photoshoot set. Ashley and I spent the next three hours posing for different shots. We changed our clothes four different times. It did go a lot smoother than the first two hours. We got it done and we are pleased with the outcome. Ashley called to order take out on our way back to her house. The rest of the night was spent either lightly laughing together or cuddled up on the couch watching movies. It was a wonderful ending to a terribly busy crazy day.

(Ashley's POV)

"Please welcome Spencer Carlin and Ashley Davies." I hear Ellen say then quickly following Spencer and I are being shooed onto the stage. I smile behind me before letting Spencer take the lead and slightly follow her out with my hand intertwined with hers. We say hello to Ellen and hug her. Spencer takes a sit in the couch first then I sit right next to her. Spencer smiles lightly at me before looking over to Ellen. I squeeze my Princess's hand before looking over to Ellen also.

"Nice to see you again, Ashley. Spencer, this is your first time. How are you feeling?" Ellen asks the blonde next to me.

"Nice to see you too." I respond with a smile. We look over to Spencer.

"I feel good. This is pretty amazing."

"Spencer, it was incredibly brave for you to come out and especially come out the way you did. On stage in front of fans and all those cameras. How are you feeling about it? All your fans from that I've read and seen have been showing tons of support. How does that feel?"

"I feel good about it. Ashley had been wonderful giving me time to figure it all out for myself and for me to come out when I was ready. I just thought it was time. She had been dealing with some much since those pictures came out. I didn't want her to deal with it alone anymore. I love that my fans are being so supportive. I love my fans so much. They really are the best." Spencer says.

"I want to know, I'm sure along with everyone else, how long have you two been together?"

"Our first date was a little over a month ago in New York." I tell Ellen.

"You've been on tour since February, right?"

"Yes." Spencer answers.

"So, nothing happened before you guys went on a date in New York? Who asked who out? Ashley, had you known the whole time that Spencer was into woman?" Ellen asks and I look at Spencer. Spencer motions that it's okay for me to answer.

"No, I didn't find out until our stop in Ohio. We went to dinner with her family and her mom let it slip out. She thought Spencer told me already. I had an idea but with as close as we were at the time, I thought she would've told me."

"Where you surprised when you found out?"

"More hurt. At that time, I thought we were closer than that and I couldn't understand why she didn't just tell me. After I got over myself and listened to her, we have been fine since. It is her experience to handle how she sees fit to herself. I can't judge her for that."

"I've seen it several times. Spencer, people want to know if you and Ashley were dating yet or how 'Sweetest Sin' came about? Is the song about Ashley?"

"I wrote it during our last break of the tour when I was at my apartment here in L.A. Ashley and I were just friends at that time. We had so much to do during that week that we weren't able to see each other at all. We spent a lot of time on the phone, but it wasn't the same. I couldn't sleep one night so I just started playing my piano and thinking of Ashley. That is what came out. That song prompt Ashley to runaway like a scared little girl then ask me out 24 hours later after a disappearing act." Spencer looking over at me lightly giggling with a smile across her face.

"Ashley…"

"It was scary okay." I say cutting Ellen off. "I have never felt like this before. This is all new to me and I ran. I did but look at us now. Better than ever." I admit sweetly then bring Spencer's hand up to my lips and kiss the back of it.

"What did you think of the way she came out? Did you know she was going to come out and come out like that?"

"No, I didn't know. We hadn't talked about it. I never questioned her on when she was going to come out. I liked that we had time to make a foundation for ourselves before the world came into our relationship. She asked me a few days before our Miami show if I could help her practice a dance for her new song, she is performing during the 2nd show. She told me that her dancer isn't coming in until the day of. I agreed instantly because I will do anything for this woman…"

"Aww." I hear from the crowd, it caused me to pause.

"We had practiced a lot even up to hours before she was due on stage. She threw me when she asked me to stay on stage. As they were hooking her microphone up to her. I asked her what she is doing. Her response was a smile and told me she was coming out and asked me if I minded. She's amazing, she really is. I mean, she is about to do one of the biggest scariest things of her life and she's asking me if its okay that she comes out. I should stop talking now. I can go on about it all day." I say before looking at Spencer. She leans over and kisses my cheek causing the crowd to 'aww' once again. Spencer smiles at them before looking back over to Ellen.

"Ashley, your new album releases in two day. Are you excited? Your first single off the album is 'Beautiful Crazy' and it is still number 1 on the charts. It has been doing amazing for weeks now."

"I am excited for the release of the album. My album release party is tomorrow. I am excited for that. It will be Spencer and I's first public event together… HOLY FUCK!" I scream out. I pull Spencer to the other side of me, I lean into the front of her to protect her. I hear everyone laughing. Ellen got me again. Fuck that damn side table. I turn and look at a still laughing Spencer.

"You protected me." Spencer smiles brightly at me then kissing my lips lightly.

"You pulled Spencer so quick to the other side of you. I don't even know if Spencer knew what was going on." Ellen said laughing before looking to the screen behind us at the replay. "Spencer didn't even jump at all. Don't scare easy?"

"No, I don't. I think that might be a good thing with how easily Rockstar here gets scared." The audience laugh once again.

"At least you know you have a good one. She got so scared but her first instinct was to protect you. That trait in someone is hard to find. Be happy you have it already." Ellen tells my girlfriend with a smile on her face.

"Trust me, this one isn't going anywhere. She's mine and I am happy with her." Spencer says as she cuddles into my side. I am listening to them talk because I am still trying to calm my heart and nerves. This is like the third time she got me. I swear Ellen gets me every time I come on her show.

"They agreed to play their new single 'Perfect' for us. I want to thank you guys for taking the time to stop by. I know you guys are on break right now but are terribly busy. I appreciate it that you took the time to come today. I am even more grateful that I was the first one to interview you after coming out as a couple. I wish you both well and I hope to see you again real soon. Enjoy your tour. Thank you!" Ellen says. Spencer and I say our goodbyes and hug her before walking over to the stage that is set up for us to perform. We perform our song. The crowd went crazy when our instruments stopped playing. We wave goodbye to the audience as we walk hand in hand backstage. That went well. Interview number 1 down. 50 thousand more to go. Okay, that's dramatic, but that's what it feels like. Spencer and I get escorted outside to my black Porsche.

"We have to meet Kyla and the wardrobe person at the house. We need to figure out what we are wearing for the release party tomorrow. I don't want to go out shopping right now." I admit to the blonde still holding my hand next to me.

"The wardrobe person. That's too cute. I don't want to go out either. Paps are going to follow us enough when we go back on tour. I want as much down and alone time as we can get right now. They were crazy outside of Ellen's studio and are waiting outside the gate to your house." Spencer says sighing. I squeeze her hand in mine trying to bring her comfort. "Who knew falling in love would be such a big deal." Spencer adds with a giggle. I smile at my girlfriend before looking back at the road. We mostly sat in a comfortable silence for the hour and a half drive back to my house. It is about dinner time, so I had Spencer call her brother to pick up some dinner for all of us. I don't want to chance making the stop ourselves. It isn't worth it. It is L.A after all. We could be bombarded in 2.5 seconds. I think it'll be good for us to have dinner with our managers/siblings. We should probably discuss this next part of the tour. I need to also relook at the dates because I don't know where we go after Paris. I think Paris is our first stop. Oh man, I have been slacking with my ability to remember things.

"Baby?" Spencer says grabbing my attention. I glance at her then turn back to the road to turn into my gate. I love my gate opener in my car. It really comes in handy, so I don't have to roll down my window and deal with the damn paparazzi's. I know they are doing a job. They need money but maybe if they weren't so crazy about it. I would talk to them and let them take pictures. Spencer still hasn't said anything. I park the car and look over at her.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Huh?" Spencer looks confused bringing her eyes over to mine. "Nothing. I was just thinking and wondering what you're thinking about."

"I was thinking about our start of the tour and where we are after Paris. I can't remember. I was also thinking that it's a good idea to have dinner with Kyla and Glen so we can discuss the tour. I don't even know if Kyla plans on coming along or if she is staying here. What about you?" I wonder.

"That is a good idea because I don't know if Glen is coming either. Him and I have only talked about what is going on while we are here. Our second stop in Europe is London. I was just thinking about this weekend. I'm glad we have the whole weekend again. Being with you and just lounging around the house with you made me feel like we were a normal couple for once. It was amazing." Spencer admits with a light blush. I bring her hand up to my lips and kiss it.

"I was. Let's go try on some dresses." I say wiggling my eyebrows at her. Spencer lets out a giggle while slapping me lightly on my arm. "What? I'll model for you too baby. It'll only be fair..."

"No, it would only be fair if our siblings weren't going to be here." Spencer says cutting me off as we walk hand in hand into the house.

"Hm… True. They won't be here all night. Plus, you in a sexy ass dress isn't something I just forget." I admit to the wonderful blonde next to me.

"When have you ever seen me in a dress?"

"Grammy's, my love." I say with a smile. I pull Spencer into my arms and wrap them around her waist. I continue walking causing her to slowly walk backwards. "Trust me that isn't something I will ever forget." I add. Spencer starts blushing so she ducks her face into my shoulder and wraps her arms around the same around. The blonde pulls her face out of my neck and meets our lips together.

"Wow, again." Kyla says breaking our kissing before it got too heated.

"Seriously?" I groan.

"Ashley, Spencer." Kyla says pointing at each of us when our name came from her lips. "This is Dan. Dan meet my lovely sister Ashley and her wonderful girlfriend Spencer."

"Trust me, I know who these lovely ladies are. They have taken over the LGBTQ+ community right now." Dan says getting excited.

"Nice to meet you." My girlfriend says pulling away from me and shaking his hand. I follow suit trying to place a genuine smile on my face, but I know it's not working.

"Let's get this started. It has already been along day." I tell everyone in the room.

"Of course." Dan says then gestures us to follow him into the living room. There are three long racks of dresses. There are about five different colors. Black, white, red, blue, and cream. Spencer quickly starts going through the dresses on the rack closest to us. I turn to the left and start going through the other one. After about 40 minutes. I have picked out 5 dresses to try on. Spencer has 8. We walk behind the covering set up for us to change behind. I have 1 red, 1 white, and 3 black. I liked more of the black ones. Spencer has 2 blue, 1 red, 1 black, 2 white, and 2 cream ones. I sit on the little armchair that is behind the makeshift wall and watch Spencer.

"What are you doing?" Spencer asks after pulling her shirt over her head and realizes I've taken a seat and haven't started to undress yet.

"I'm going to love the show. Duh!" I exclaim then wink at her. Spencer starts laughing and walks over to me and straddles my lap. This could get interesting. The shirtless blonde on my lap kisses across my jawline to my neck before pulling back and quickly taking my shirt over my head. Spencer starts kisses my collarbone up to my ear.

"We need to hurry up and get this over with and get our siblings out of our house so I can really show you how much I believe you are mine." Spencer whispers seductively before taking my lobe into her mouth and sucking lightly. I let out a light moan and gripped her ass in my hands, pulling her closer to me. It popped in my head that she said 'our' house. I slowly run my hands up her back and into her hair. I pull lightly to get her to move her head out of nipping at the side of my neck and ear.

"You said 'our'." I tell her once her wonderful blue eyes met mine. Spencer gives me a confused look. I don't think she realizes she said it. "You said 'our house'." I explain with a goofy smile on my face.

"Sorry." Spencer whispers before looking away from me.

"Hey, hey." I say trying to pull her attention back to me. I use my hands still in her hair to guild her face back towards mine. "I have no problem with it, I promise you. I really loved hearing you say, 'our house'." I kissed Spencer quickly. I put my mouth next to her ear. "We are totally U-Hauling." I add with a giggle before standing up with Spencer in my arms. I turn and place her down in the chair and bring her into a sweet slow kiss.

"You are so bad." Spencer tells me with a smile on her face after we pull away from each other. She is slowly stroking my cheek with her right thumb.

"I seem to remember you telling me about a plan to show me how yours I am. Let's get a move on it. Time is wasting away. Come on. Chop, chop my lady." I stand up and clap my hands. I send her a sideways smile before making my way over to my 5 dresses.

"On it." Spencer excitedly lets out before jumping up and quickly walking over to her dresses. I giggle at the ecstatic blonde. She's too cute for words.

"What is taking you guys so long?" Kyla whines. I start laughing as I help Spencer zip up the first cream colored dress she tried on. I walk over and pull one of the black ones on. Spencer and I walk from behind the folding screen. I bow for my sister and she throws the magazine she has in her hands towards me. I'm glad she has never played sports, that could've hurt. Before I could throw a comeback at her I am interrupted.

"I will do adjustments to the dress of your liking and have them back and ready for you by tomorrow afternoon." Dan fills us in as he walks around us pulling the lightly loose fabric tighter.

"Ky, why aren't you trying on dresses?" Spencer asks my sister.

"I've had my dress for about a week now. I didn't just reveal a big secret. I can go out in public." My older sibling says giggling after Spencer stuck her tongue out at her.

"I don't mind hiding. I mean seriously, have you seen who I get to hide out with?" Spencer exclaims giving me a huge gorgeous smile. I give her a nose crinkling smile back.

"Yeah my annoying, smelly, immature little sister." Kyla admits. I glare at her causing Kyla to bust up laughing. "I'm only kidding. Don't get your panties in a bunch." My sister adds with a smirk.

"Who said I had any on? Why do you think we took so long?" I throw back her smirk.

"Ashley." Spencer blurts out. I throw my head back and start laughing. My sister looks horrified while Spencer has a shocked expression and crimson colored cheeks.

"Go pick another dress. You look hideous." The older brunette tells me as she shoves me towards the covering. I stick my tongue out at her before disappearing behind the makeshift wall once again with my wonderful blonde girlfriend.
