SPENCER'S P.O.V
"Hey"
I haven't seen her since Monday.
"Ashley did you get all dressed up for me?"
She's laughing
"I was actually on my way to the store"
She's wearing a pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt.
"At 2AM?"
"Spencer my biological clock's a long way from being normal"
I own a bar so mine's the same.
"Same"
I watch her as she takes a seat at the bar.
"So Spencer how was your night?"
"Pretty busy"
I've never seen her look horrible.
"How was yours?"
"I slept all afternoon so now i'm wide awake"
I hate when that happens.
"Did you have to work today?"
"Kind of"
"Ashley how do you kind of work?"
"I went to the studio yesterday afternoon and I didn't leave until just after lunch today"
That can't have been much fun.
"So technically I started work yesterday"
She does look kind of tired.
"How's the album coming along?"
"It's going really well"
I lean down and start locking the padlocks on the fridges.
"That's great Ashley"
"Yer"
I thought she'd be more excited.
"You don't sound very excited?"
"I am I just can't wait until the record comes out and I can start playing gigs again"
"Do you miss playing?"
"A little bit"
I walk out from behind the bar and stand next to where she's sitting.
"So Ashley i've been thinking"
"Are you alright?"
I start laughing as she turns around.
"There's a vacant spot tommorow night if you're interested?"
She's grinning.
"Spencer did I just guilt you into letting me play your open mic night?"
"No"
"I thought you were fully booked?"
"I am"
"So how's..."
I cut her off with my lips before she can finish.
I can't help myself she looks hot and I want to fool around.
"This is new"
I pull her knees apart and move so i'm standing between her legs.
"Us making out?"
"No you making the moves"
"Ashley usually I make all the moves but with you I don't need to"
She's grinning.
"I meant what I said Ash"
"Did you just call me Ash?"
Have I not called her Ash before?
"Is that not okay?"
"No it's okay you've just never called me Ash before... it's always Ashley"
I don't sound like that.
"Well I like Ash better"
"Me to"
She smells amazing.
"Ash I feel bad"
"Why?"
She looks confused.
"I haven't let you play..."
"Spencer it's fine"
She's grinning.
"I was actually going to let you play the second I found out who you were"
"By who I am do you mean Raife Davies daughter?"
That wasn't what I meant.
"No I mean when I found out you were Kyla's sister"
"Ohhh..."
"There was no way I was going to let you play that first night though you were too cocky"
She's cute when she laughs.
"But I would of let you play the other two"
"Spencer are you serious?"
"What?"
"Do you honestly feel bad?"
"Yer I do"
"Well don't"
I start moving my hands up and down her thighs.
"Okay but if you want that spot tommorow night just let me know"
"I will"
Okay we need to do more making out and less talking.
"Where are the others?"
"Zara's not feeling well so she's upstairs sleeping and Kyla's out with Bryce"
"What's wrong with Zara?"
"I think she's getting the flu"
"That sucks"
"Yer"
She reaches out brushing her fingers through my hair.
"Spencer are you regretting telling me everything you told me the other night?"
Where did that even come from?
"No why?"
"I'm just curious"
"Ash I told you because I wanted to tell you"
"I know I just thought you might have regretted it"
I definately don't regret it.
"Ashley i've been bottling that shit up for years and it clearly hasn't been helping"
She's smiling.
"So I think it's probably time I stop hiding from my past and start looking forward to my future"
"That's deep"
She starts laughing as I playfully whack her on the arm.
"You can't help yourself can you?"
"Sorry"
She's so hot.
"Ash I don't care if you know about all the fucked up shit that's happened in my life, I just don't want you to look at me differently because you do know"
"I won't"
Can we fool around now?
"Do you still need to go to the store or do you have a bit of time?"
She knows exactly why I'm asking.
"Spencer how much time are we talking?"
"That depends"
"The store's open all night and I have nothing to do tomorrow"
That's good to know.
"So I have all the time in the world"
I lean forward gently nibbling on her neck.
"Spencer you're so fucking hot right now"
She slowly moves her hands down my back until they're resting on my ass.
"Shall we relocate?"
When she says that I pull back.
"Yer it's probably best I only just finished cleaning the bar"
She's grinning.
"Okay well lead the way"
"My room or the office?"
"You choose"
"My room it is"
