Another chapter. Enjoy.
The next day at lunch, Ashley is sitting down at a table reading a book. Spencer walks up from behind her, bends down and rests her head on Ashley's shoulder.
Spencer: "Attempting to understand math?"
Ashley: "…yeah…."
Ashley is still looking at the book not bothering to look at Spencer.
Spencer: "I called you last night. Where were you?"
Ashley: "Home."
Spencer: "Then why didn't you pick up?"
Ashley: "Busy."
Ashley shrugs off Spencer's head off her shoulder.
Spencer: "What's up?"
Ashley: "Nothing."
Spencer: "You're mad."
Ashley shrugs.
Spencer: "Are you mad at me?"
Ashley: "No."
Spencer: "Good cause I only saw a movie with Aiden."
Ashley: "Like you saw any of the movie."
Spencer: "What is that suppose to mean?"
Ashley: "What do you think it means?"
Spencer: "What is your problem Ashley? We didn't do much. Get over it."
Ashley finally looks up from the book and turns to look at Spencer.
Ashley: "I don't have a problem. And whatever. Do whatever you want. I don't care."
Spencer: "Ashley don't be like this. Are you jealous?"
Ashley: "I am not jealous. Do whatever you want. I don't care."
Ashley looks back down at the book.
Spencer: "Good. But just so you know there is nothing to be jealous about. We didn't do much."
Spencer walks around the table and faces Ashley, who was still looking down at her book.
Spencer: "Oh and by the way. Honesty, I didn't want to do anything."
Spencer pauses and adds,
Spencer: "…with him."
Ashley looks up and looks at Spencer. Spencer has got Ashley's attention now.
Spencer: "It didn't feel right. A part of me was telling me that I was with the wrong person while I was with him. But whatever. You don't care. So why bother telling you how I feel and explain what I do. Just wasting my time. Whatever."
The bell rings, Spencer turns around and walks away without saying bye. Ashley closes her eyes and puts her hands to her face.
Ashley: ((Damn.))
-----
Early that evening, Ashley is at her house trying to call Spencer but the blonde was not answering her calls.
Ashley: ((Why isn't she answering?))
Ashley walks over to her computer and goes on AIM, hoping Spencer would be on.
Ashley sees Spencer is on but has an away message. Ashley clicks on her screen name and reads the away message.
SweetxOHxangel: Not home. Out thinking. Leave me alone. Plz and thank you.
Ashley: ((She probably put that leave me alone for me. But I need to talk to her. Let's see, where does Spencer go to think? The beach!))
Ashley gets ready and drives to the beach.
-----
It was a cloudy day, so not too many people were at the beach. Where Spencer was, however, no one was around. It was a place the girls found during winter break. Actually Kelsey found it when they walked to the most deserted part of the beach. This area was not full of sand to walk on but big rocks that climbed up to look out into the ocean. Spencer was sitting on a rock halfway up this little rock mountain, staring out at the ocean. Ashley walks up to the foot of the rocks and looks up. Sure enough there was Spencer, sitting down with her hair blowing in the breeze. Ashley walks up the path of rocks that was the easiest to walk and climb up on. A couple minutes pass and Ashley was standing behind the sitting Spencer, who was sitting Indian style. Ashley didn't think Spencer noticed that she was behind her so she watched her a bit and the ocean in front of her.
Spencer knew she was behind her. She can always feel Ashley when she was near. She didn't know why. After a while Spencer broke the silence.
Spencer: "Its beautiful isn't it?"
Ashley: "Yes you are."
Spencer smiles but doesn't turn around.
Spencer: "I'm guessing you read my away message. Did you miss the part that said leave me alone?"
Ashley: "I didn't miss it. I just didn't listen to it."
Spencer: "What are you doing here?"
Ashley: "Isn't that obvious?"
Spencer: "Nope."
Ashley: "I wanted to talk to you. I tried calling you. Why didn't you answer?"
Spencer: "Cause I'm busy."
Ashley looks around to see what the blonde was busy with.
Ashley: "Doing what?"
Spencer: "Thinking."
Ashley: "And you couldn't answer the phone."
Spencer: "I turned it off."
Ashley: "Oh."
Ashley walks up to Spencer and sits down beside her. Spencer and Ashley are still looking out into the ocean. After awhile Ashley turns to the side to look at Spencer.
Ashley: "Look I'm sorry for my attitude."
Spencer still keeps her eyes on the ocean.
Spencer: "Whatever. I thought you didn't care."
Ashley: "Of course I care. I love…(pause)… the ocean."
Ashley looks away and stares out into the ocean.
Ashley: ((I can't believe I almost let that slip out!))
Spencer smiles and looks at Ashley. Ashley is looking out into the ocean and trying to avoid Spencer's eye contact.
Spencer: "I love you too…and the ocean."
Ashley looks at Spencer and smiles. Spencer returns the smile. Spencer leans in and kisses Ashley on the cheek and rests her head on Ashley's shoulder. Ashley's smile widens and she slowly reaches for Spencer's hand, resting on her leg. Ashley slowly places her hand on top of Spencer and waits to see what she does. Spencer turns over her hand and intertwines her fingers with her. Spencer smiles and closes her eyes.
Time passes.
Ashley: "It's getting late."
Spencer opens her eyes.
Spencer: "Ya I know. I should go home."
Ashley: "Would you like me to take you home?"
Spencer: "Yeah that would be great."
Spencer gets up and helps Ashley up. Spencer let's go of Ashley's hand and starts carefully walking down the rocks, making sure she doesn't slip and fall. Ashley follows closely behind. Once they hit sand they started walking along the shore of the beach.
After a couple of minutes walking in silent, Ashley decides to break the silence.
Ashley: "So uhm, How is your boyfriend?
Spencer: "Aiden is doing good. He feels unloved. I think I'm just going to let him loose. It's not fair if the feelings don't go both ways."
Ashley: "If that is what you want to do."
Spencer: "I do want to."
-------
The next day at school, Spencer sees Aiden at his locker and walks up to him.
Spencer: "Aiden."
Aiden turns around and faces Spencer.
Aiden: "Hey Spence."
Aiden leans in to kiss Spencer on the lips but Spencer turns her cheek and Aiden pulls back.
Aiden: "What's up?"
Spencer: "We need to talk."
Aiden: "Okay. Shoot."
Spencer: "I really like you Aiden. You're a really good guy but uhmm I think we should take a break."
Aiden: "What? Why?"
Spencer: "Uhm. I don't think this relationship is working out for me. But I still want to be friends."
Aiden frowns. He can't say he wasn't expecting this to happen sooner or later but he was still hoping that they still had a chance to make a strong relationship.
Aiden: "Okay if that is what you want. And can I ask what I did wrong?"
Spencer: "You didn't do anything wrong. You're great. It's me not you. So friends?"
Aiden: "Yeah sure."
Aiden closes his locker, hard.
Aiden: "Is it some other guy?"
Aiden looks down the hall and sees Ashley walking in their direction.
Aiden: "Or girl?"
Spencer looks at the direction he is facing and sees Ashley. Ashley walks up to them.
Ashley: "How is the cute couple doing?"
Aiden: "You should know."
Ashley: "I should know what?"
Aiden: "You're trying to steal my girlfriend from me."
Spencer: "This doesn't have to do anything with Ashley."
Ashley: "I'm guessing Spencer just broke up with you."
Aiden: "Probably cause you told her to."
Ashley: "I didn't tell her to do anything. Don't take your anger out on me. I didn't do anything."
Aiden: "Yeah whatever."
Spencer: "Aiden don't be mad."
Aiden: "I'm not mad." ((Okay I'm mad but whatever. This isn't over. I'll get her back. She doesn't know what she is doing. Ash must of filled her head with some dirt on me. Two can play that game.))
Aiden leaves and heads to class. Ashley couldn't help but smile.
Ashley: "That sounded like it went well."
Spencer shakes her head.
Spencer: "Shut up."
The bell rings and they head off to class.
