Chapter Two
An hour later, Spencer realized that Ashley's definition of "under control" needed some serious fine-tuning. The brunette had now downed approximately thirteen shots of Vodka, more alcohol than anyone Ashley's size should be drinking. The brunette was trying, in vain, to get Spencer to dance with her.
Ashley ran over to where Spencer was sitting by the bar and wrapped her arms around the younger girl's shoulder. "Come on birthday girl, dance with me." The Brothers Conti song Automatic started to play through the speakers. "I love this song!" Ashley shouted running back out onto the dance floor.
Spencer watched amusingly as Ashley moved to the beat.
The way you move your body babe,
It drives me wild
(It's automatic)
I love the way you're lookin babe,
You're just my style
(It's automatic)
Sexy, and you don't even know it babe,
You gotta know it babe.
Like what you do, the way you're doing me
Ashley leaned her body against Random Boy #1 as she closed her eyes and moved with the beat of the song. She began to lose herself in the music, allowing the rhythm to flow through her. Spencer watched in awe as Ashley's body seemed to flow in perfect motion with the music. Ashley, caught up in the moment, raised her arms above her head as Random Boy #1 placed his hands on her thighs. She leaned her body against his and he moved his hands from her legs to her stomach.
Spencer tried to tear her eyes away, but then, as she shyly glanced at the brunette, she noticed the look on Ashley's face. Ashley's eyes were wide open, staring at her. As Ashley grinded her body on the dance floor, her eyes gazed hungrily at the blonde.
Spencer lowered her gaze, confusion filling her mind. Ok, Ash is just a friend, right? I can be attracted to friends, especially if they are attractive. It's perfectly normal to be attracted to attractive people. "And she is attractive," Spencer said aloud.
"Who's attractive?" Ashley asked, pulling up a stool next to the stunned blonde.
"Um, the cutie you were dancing with."
Ashley looked over at Random Boy #1, "Who…him? Pssh, he's certainly not the hottest person in this club tonight," she said flirtatiously (and also drunkenly), as she casually looked Spencer up-and-down.
Spencer blushed, "Ok Ash, I think I've had about all the fun I can take tonight. I think it's time to go."
Ashley's smile fell, "You're not having fun, are you?"
Spencer's heart broke at the sight of the disappointed girl, "No, of course I am Ash. I just thought, well, maybe we could go to the beach."
Ashley's face lit up, "Well of course, birthday girl. Come on, I'll drive."
Ashley reached for her keys, but Spencer quickly stole them away, "I think I better drive." Ashley pouted. "Now don't give me that look. If you drove, we'd never get there in one piece."
"Fine, but you have to at least come swimming with me," Ashley said, her chocolate brown eyes open wide with hope.
"Ok Ash," Spencer said, "As long as you promise not to splash me."
"Anything for you Spence, anything for you."
