SPENCER'S P.O.V
"Hey"
"Ashley is that coffee?"
"Yer"
I watch her as she walks behind the bar and passes me one.
"Thanks"
"So what are you doing?"
"Setting up"
"Do you want a hand?"
"Ashley are you feeling alright?"
What's she up to?
"Spencer I've got nothing else to do right now and I'm pretty sure I owe you for letting me crash at your loft"
She does kind of owe me.
"Okay"
I pass her the clipboard.
"What's this?"
"That's the drink list"
"Okay"
"I need to grab those drinks from the coolroom and fill these fridges"
She follows me as I walk into the coolroom.
"Just load them onto the trolley"
I start grabbing all the beers as she grabs the spirits.
"So Ashley how did the old beat up Toyota go?"
When I say that she starts laughing.
"It wouldn't start"
That's hilarious.
"Spencer you should have given me the keys to the Porsche"
"It's at the shop"
I can't help myself.
"What how long's it going to be out of action for?"
"I'm not sure"
"Spencer I'm a good with cars I could of fixed it for you"
"Aren't you talented?
"I really am"
She's staring.
"So Spencer did you grow up in New York?"
"No I actually lived in L.A until I was eighteen"
"You're from L.A?"
Why did she say it like that?
"Yer why's that so hard to believe?"
"Where's your tan?"
"I left it in L.A"
I grab the trolley and walk back behind the bar.
"How long have you known Zara for?"
"We've been best friends since I was fourteen"
"So she's from L.A as well?"
"Yer we went to the same High School"
"And now you both live in New York and she works for you?"
"Yer"
I start loading the drinks into the fridges.
"Hi"
When I turn around there's some girl in the bar.
"We're closed"
"I know I was actually looking for someone"
"Okay"
"I'm looking for Spencer Carlin"
That's never good.
"Why?"
"You're Spencer?"
"And you're?"
"Michelle"
I'm trying to remember if I've hooked up with this girl before.
"I'm your brother's fiance"
You've got to be fucking kidding me.
"I don't have a brother"
"Can we talk?"
"I'm busy"
The last thing I want to do right now is talk about Glen.
"Spencer he's pretty upset you kicked him out"
"Am I meant to care because I don't?"
I wonder how much she knows.
"SPENCER ARE YOU NEARLY DONE?"
I'm meant to be going to get food with Zara.
"Yer"
When Zara gets to the bottom of the stairs I turn so i'm facing Michelle.
"You should leave"
"Look Spencer we're getting married next month and it would mean the world to him if you were there"
"You're going to marry him?"
"Yer"
"Good luck with that"
"He's a good guy Spencer you should give him another chance"
"He's a fucking cunt"
I hate the word cunt but there's no other way to describe him.
"Look Michelle I don't know you but I already don't like you by association"
I tried being nice but it wasn't working.
"You're wasting your breathe there's nothing you can do or say that will change my mind about him"
"So you're just going to keep pretending that he doesn't exist?"
"It's been six years Michelle and I could quite easily live another sixty years without him in my life"
"Spencer we've all made mistakes..."
"Get the fuck out of my bar"
I'm done listening to her.
She needs to leave.
"Spencer i'm sorry I didn't meant to upset you"
"You should leave"
Maybe Zara can get her to leave.
"Look I didn't come here to cause any problems"
"She's not interested in talking to you or the ass"
Zara's one scary bitch when she wants to be.
"So tell Glen he's not welcome here"
Michelle looks like a deer caught in headlights.
"The door's over there"
She's pointing.
"I..."
"We've got stuff to do"
I think she's finally realising we're not intersted in talking.
"Have a lovely wedding Michellle"
When she leaves I look over at Zara.
"Thanks Zara"
"You don't need to thank me Spence that was kind of fun"
Zara's more than a friend to me she's like the sister I never had.
"So I don't think that bitch will be coming back"
When she says that I can't help but laugh.
"Was I too harsh?"
"No fuck it she deserved it"
Now Ashley's laughing as well.
"Ashley don't even think about asking what that was about or i'm going to sell the fucking Porsche"
Does she ever stop laughing?
"I know Spencer we're not friends so I don't get to hear your life story"
She's such a smart ass.
"Spence can we please go get food now i'm starving"
"Yer Zara let's go"
Ashley's staring at me.
"Ashley would you like to come?"
She's grinning.
"Aww Spencer you're so sweet..."
"Ashley I can take that invitation back"
"Spencer I'd love to come"
I thought she might say that.
