SPENCER'S P.O.V
"Tash just walked in"
"So?"
"Spence she's getting pretty clingy"
"Zara?"
"I'm just saying this is the third time this week she's come here"
I know she's right.
"Is it really that hard to believe that someone could actually like drinking at this place?"
"No this place is awesome but we both know that's not why she's here"
"What are you getting at Zara?"
"I just think she's interested in you more than you are in her"
I hate when this happens.
"Hi what can I get you?"
"Can we just grab three jack and cokes?"
"Sure"
I grab three glasses and quickly start making their drinks.
"There you go that's twenty one dollars"
He hands me twenty five.
"I'll just grab you you're change"
"Don't worry about it"
"Thanks"
"Spence all i'm saying is that maybe you should reconsider this no strings attached relationship you're having with Tash"
"Okay I get it"
"Don't get all snappy at me it's not my fault you're so irresistable"
When she says that I start laughing.
"Fuck you Zara"
She's my best friend but she always ruins my fun.
"Don't hate on me Spencer you're the one who makes the rules"
"Well I also pay your annoying ass to serve customers and right now you're not doing that"
Tonight's our weekly open mic night and the place is packed.
"Someone's a little sexually frustrated"
I had sex like two days ago.
"Well Zara maybe you should be a good best friend and help me out"
"Spence you don't pay me nearly enough for that"
That's hilarious.
"Hi what can I get you?"
When I look up I notice it's Ashley.
"Spencer it must be fate that we keep running into eachother"
"Ashley this is second time so I wouldn't really say that we keep running into eachother"
She's laughing.
"And you know I own this place so it's not really fate"
"Well whatever it is i'm not complaining"
She's grinning.
"Okay well I've got to get back to it but if you're looking for Kyla she's not here"
"I'm not looking for Kyla"
I didn't think she was.
"Okay well did you want something to drink?"
"I'll grab a beer"
When I walk over to the fridge Zara's grinning.
"Who's that?"
"Kyla's sister"
"That's Kyla's sister?"
"Yer"
"Damn Spence she's hot"
"I know"
I reach down grabbing a beer out of the fridge.
"You're grinning like an idiot"
"No i'm not"
"You're going to fuck Kyla's sister aren't you?"
"I am"
When I walk off Zara starts laughing.
"Here"
"How much do I owe you?"
"It's on the house"
"Spencer if I accept that i'll owe you"
She's smiling.
"Then you'll probably want sexual favours and I'm not okay with that"
Sure she's not.
"Ashley how about you just pay me for the beer and then you don't have to worry that my generosity comes with a hidden agenda"
"That would make things alot easier for me"
I watch her as she pulls out a ten dollar bill.
"I'll grab your change"
"Keep it"
"Oh no Ashley I couldn't possibly keep it"
I walk over and grab her change out of the register.
"There you go"
She looks even hotter than she did this afternoon.
"Thanks"
I deliberately walk away before she can say anything else.
"Did you just charge her for her drink?"
"Yer"
She's laughing again.
"That's harsh"
"Zara when you meet her you'll understand"
"Is she a bitch?"
"No she's kind of hard to describe"
LATER THAT NIGHT
"Hey Tash"
I lean on the bar.
"Hey"
I'm not surprised when she leans forward gently pressing her lips against mine.
"Tash?"
Great I hate when I have to have the whole we can't have sex anymore talk.
"So my friends want to leave and I thought I'd check and see if you wanted me to stay?"
I really hate when this happens.
"Tash I don't think that's a good idea"
"You don't think it's a good idea?"
"Yer I think we should just go back to being friends"
"I thought we were friends"
"We are Tash I just think you're looking for something that isn't here"
"Spencer I have no idea what you're talking about?"
Usually I wouldn't have this conversation here.
But i'm about to close and there's hardly anybody here.
"Tash this is the third time this week you've come here and I think it's best we stop whatever this is before someone gets hurt"
By someone I mean her.
"Before I get hurt right?"
"Yer"
"Spencer you're such a bitch"
Here we go.
"Tash i'm sorry"
The last thing I wanted to do was hurt her.
But I made myself pretty clear when we started sleeping together.
"Fuck you Spencer"
That's going to leave a mark.
"So she took that well?"
I rub my cheek as Tash storms out of the bar.
"Yer I think she's okay with it"
When I turn around Zara and Ashley are laughing.
"You're still here"
"Spencer don't act like you're disappointed i'm still here"
When I look at Zara she starts laughing even more.
"I need a beer"
I walk over to the fridge.
"Zara do you want one?"
"Yer"
"Ashley?"
"Yer why not"
I grab three beers and walk back over to where they're standing.
"There you go"
"Thanks Spence"
When I pass Ashley hers she's grinning.
"Six fifty"
I raise my eyebrows as she pulls out another ten dollar bill.
"I get change"
"I know how it works Ashley"
Zara's loving this.
"Do you know how all this ends?"
"Yer you go back to your hotel slightly drunker than you were when you left"
"I don't have a hotel"
"You're still homeless?"
"That depends on your definition of homeless"
I turn so i'm facing Zara.
"Do you get what I mean now?"
"Yer"
"You talked to Zara about me?"
Maybe if I drink my beer she'll forget that little slip up.
"You want to fuck me Spencer just admit it"
"I want to fuck alot of girls Ashley but you're not one of them"
That shut her up.
"Zara i'm going to take the rubbish out"
"Okay i'll get everyone out"
"Thanks"
I quickly walk out the back and toss the bags in the dumpster.
"I'm not one of them?"
She's definately one of them.
"Spencer we both know i'm one of them"
When I get to the door she cuts me off.
"You're pretty confident aren't you?"
"Spencer we're more alike than you think"
She moves so my body's wedged between hers and the door.
"Ashley I don't do relationships"
"I don't want one"
She reaches down undoing the button on my jeans.
"It's just sex"
"Spencer i've given more than my fair share of these speeches so I know how it works"
I reach down fixing the button on my jeans.
"I have to close the bar first"
"Let Zara do it"
I can't do that
"Ashley good things come to those who wait"
I slip my hands under her shirt.
"Can I fuck you on the bar?"
I slowly start rubbing her nipples between my fingers.
"Is that a fantasy of yours?"
"This isn't very fair"
I start laughing when she looks down at my hands.
"Life's not fair Ashley"
I lean forward pressing my lips against hers as my hands slide down to her hips.
I was only messing around earlier when I said she wasn't a good kisser because she is.
She's a great kisser.
"I should get back in there"
I watch her as she wipes her lips with her hand.
"Alright"
