blonde101 and broken clay of me: Thanks for the positive feedback. It means a lot because I'm venturing into another category.
Here's another chapter. I'm rewriting parts as I go, but keeping the core of the story. I hope my old story doesn't make the real story confusing. Keep R&Ring.
Spencer went back to her house briefly. She put all of the refrigerator stuff in the fridge, grabbed her bathing suit out of the laundry room and ran out of the door without yelling to Jake that she was home. She heard a noise, but she was too excited about her rendezvous with Ashley to see what was going on.
Spencer knocked on Ashley's door. Ashley walked slowly up to it.
"Hey," said Spencer.
"Hey. Come in," Ashley replied, "Want me to order you a cocktail?" Ashley showed off hers, "I'm about to call for a refill anyway."
"Sure. Raspberry margarita," Spencer stood uneasily as Ashley called room service.
"Spencer," Ashley looked into Spencer's eyes as she got off the phone. She patted the space next to her on the bed. The universal signal to sit down, "Now what is it that you so desperately wanted to talk to me about, that you couldn't mention at the store, or at your own home?"
Spencer finally sat, "I just. I don't know, its weird and awkward. I can't believe I even want to say this..." Spencer trailed off.
"What?" asked Ashley calmly.
The knock of their drinks being delivered made them both jump. Ashley went to the door, "Hi," she said, "Thanks," she paid the guy who delivered them. She handed Spencer the margarita, and sipped at her own drink before toasting, "To reunions."
"To reunions," Spencer agreed clanking her glass with Ashley's, then sipping her own drink.
"Now Spencer," Ashley would not let her out of it, "What where you saying?"
"There is absolutely no spark in my and Jake's relationship. No pure animalistic passion, no sex. We haven't had sex in months!" Spencer exclaimed. She blushed at herself.
"What do you want me to do about it?" Ashley asked realistically.
Spencer choked at the honesty of Ashley's statement, "I just," she stammered, "You are the only person that I can be that honest with."
Ashley wanted to roll her eyes, but didn't.
Spencer was starting to feel uncomfortable. She looked at her watch, "I should get going with that dinner. Can I come back later?"
"Yeah. You said you'd swim with me. Remember? Never back down on something you've promised me."
"I'll remember that Ash," Spencer promised, "Just so you know I'm serious about coming back, I'll leave my bathing suit."
Ashley smiled, "I'll see you around nine or ten right?"
"Yeah," Spencer hesitated in getting up.
Ashley got up with her, "Great. I can't wait. You'd better go make that hubby of yours happy.
Spencer walked into her house smiling from the talk she'd had with Ashley. Ashley almost always made Spencer smile, "Hello!" she yelled to Jake. She walked into the house more before going into the bedroom. Thats where her worst fears where founded, "HOLY SHIT!" she yelled. She ran out of the room, out of the house and back into her car. Ashley was going to see her much sooner than either of them had expected. Jake was really cheating on her.
