SPENCER'S P.O.V
"Hey how are you feeling?"
"Like death"
That sucks.
"Are the tablets working?"
"A little bit but my head's pounding"
I hate it when i'm sick.
So I can sympathise with Zara.
"Do you want me to get you anything?"
"Thanks Spence but i'll be fine"
She really doesn't look very good.
"So how was your night?"
"Zara let's just say it was interesting"
I sit down on the edge of her bed.
"How was it interesting?"
"Some girl was hitting on Ashley and then Ashley came over to see if I was okay with her hooking up with someone else"
"She asked you if it was okay?"
"Yer I thnk she was just making sure I'm still on the same page with this whole no strings attached relationship we're having"
"Relationship?"
"Zara you know what I mean"
"So what did you say?"
"I told her I didn't care"
"But you do?"
"Zara I don't"
She thinks I want more from Ashley.
"Spencer how can you not care?"
"Zara I'm not looking for a relationship and Ashley isn't either"
"How do you know that?"
"She told me"
Ashley and I have had this chat several times before.
"Yer but her feelings can change"
"Her feeling haven't changed Zara or she wouldn't have hooked up with that girl"
"You're jealous?"
"No i'm just telling you how it is"
She knows I don't do relationships.
"Come on Spencer we both know it's different with Ashley"
"How's it different?"
"You care about what she thinks"
"Zara I care about what most people think"
"Come on Spencer this is me you're talking to"
I hate that she knows me so well.
"Look she interests me and I like hanging out with her but I don't want a relationship"
"Then what's the problem?"
I wish I knew.
"I ran into her at the store last night when I was getting you your tablets and she was acting strange"
"What was she doing?"
"She seemed really nervous and then she pretty much apologised for hooking up with someone else"
"I thought you guys agreed it was okay to see other people?"
"We did"
"I'm so confused"
So am I.
"She kept asking if I was okay"
"Spencer that's a good thing at least you know she cares"
"I'm pretty sure she feels sorry for me"
"Spencer she wouldn't be human if she didn't"
"Zara i'm not a charity case"
"I know you're not but you've been through alot and you have an attractive personality so I get why Ashley's clinging to you"
Did she just say I have an attractive personality?
"She's not clinging to me"
"Spencer you have to admit that you two have been spending a fair bit of time together"
"Zara you're so annoying"
"Whatever you love me"
I do.
"We're actually going to lunch"
"You're going on a date with Ashley?"
"Zara it's not a date"
"But it's a pre organised lunch?"
I hop up off the bed.
"Zara you're annoying me now"
"I know I can tell"
I can hear her laughing as I start walking to the door.
"Spencer?"
"Yer?"
"Just think about everything before you react"
What's that meant to mean.
"Bye Zara"
"Have fun"
She's such a smart ass.
"How's the patient?"
"Annoying"
I knew Ashley was going to be here soon.
But I didn't think she'd be here when I walked back out of Zara's room.
"Hey Ash"
"Hey"
I walk over to the fridge and grab Zara a water.
"Ash did you want to get going?"
"Yer"
"Okay cool i've just got to give this water to Zara"
"Alright"
I'm really hoping this is only awkward because Kyla's here.
"Ky can you work for Zara tonight?"
"Yer of course"
"Thanks I'll let her know"
I quickly walk back into Zara's room and pass her a water.
"Give me a call if you need anything and I got Ky to work for you tonight"
"Thanks Spence"
"I'll be back in a bit"
"Have fun"
"I will"
When I walk back out to the main area of the loft Ashley's waiting by the door.
"Okay let's go"
"Lead the way"
