SPENCER'S P.O.V
"Hey"
"You're in LA?"
"I am"
This sucks.
"Hey Ashley"
"Hey"
This is really awkward.
"So you two are?"
I think it's pretty obvious that we are.
"We are"
I watch Ash as she moves so she's standing next to me.
"That's great Spencer"
I slip my hands into the front pockets of my jeans.
"I'm sorry I interrupted..."
"Michelle it's fine"
This girl's way too nice to be marrying Glen.
"Can I buy you girls a drink?"
"Ahhh..."
"Spencer he's not here"
When she says that I look over at Ash.
"He's coming but he's not here now"
"Michelle I..."
"It's cool Spencer I get"
It would be alot easier if I could just hate her but I can't.
"I'll just leave you girls to it"
"Michelle?"
I stop her before she can walk away.
"We could use a drink"
She's smiling.
"Okay I'll be back"
I watch her as she walks over to the bar.
"Are you alright Spence?"
"Yer"
I force a smile when Ash brushes her fingers through my hair.
"Sorry I completely forgot she used to work here"
"Ash it's fine"
"We can leave if you want?"
"No I want to stay"
She grabs hold of my wrists and slides my hands out of my pockets.
"Is that a nervous habit?"
I have the biggest smile on my face when she wraps her fingers around mine.
"Maybe"
It's definately a nervous habit.
"I thought so"
It's scary how well she understands me.
"No more hiding right?"
"No more hiding"
She's so sweet.
"Spencer please don't let them ruin this city for you?"
When she says that I lean forward pressing my lips against hers.
"I won't"
"You promise?"
"Ash I promise"
"I'm going to hold you to that"
I'm going to hold myself to that.
"Here you go"
Ash let's go of my hands when Michelle walks back over with our drinks.
"Thanks"
I reach out grabbing mine.
"Thanks Michelle"
This is so awkward.
"Please tell me I'm not the only one feeling weird right now?"
"You're not"
When I look over at Ash she's smiling.
"So Ashley are you playing here tomorrow night?"
"I'm meant to be but I don't think I will"
"Why not?"
That's what I want to know.
"Spencer's in town so I'm thinking I'll just hang with her"
She nods in my direction.
"Michelle she's playing"
When I say that Ash looks over at me.
"I am?"
"You are"
"Apparantly I am"
Michelle's smiling.
"So Michelle are you here by yourself?"
I'm really glad Ash asked that.
"No I kind of lied to Glen"
I like her.
"He wanted me to go and have dinner with his mum... sorry your mum"
She stopped being my mother a long time ago.
"Anyway I just organised for my friends to come here so I didn't have to go"
I'd avoid having dinner with that bitch as well.
"Sorry Spencer I didn't mean to bring her up"
"Michelle it's fine"
The more I talk to Michelle the more I like her.
"Do you two not get along?"
I'm curious.
"No she actually really likes me but she's a..."
"Bitch?"
When I say that she starts laughing.
"Yer that's one way to describe her"
I can't think of plenty of other ways.
"Spencer ummm..."
It's never good when people start a sentence like that.
"On the way back from New York Glen told me more about what happened with you two and if I had of known what I know now..."
I'm not surprised he never told her the whole story.
"I never would have gone to your bar that day"
"Michelle it's fine don't worry"
I force a smile so she knows I'm okay.
"Sorry I know that you don't want to talk about them but I just wanted to apologise for interfering"
"Michelle it's fine seriously"
"Okay well let's just forget I said anything"
That sounds good to me.
"Look Michelle you seem like a nice girl so I'm just going to forget you have horrible taste in men"
She has really horrible taste in men.
"Michelle you should jump ship and start dating girls"
When Ash says that I start laughing.
"Ash?"
"Spencer men are gross and your brother's a fucking dick"
That's true.
"Sorry Michelle I can't really argue with that"
She's laughing that's a good sign.
"So how long have you two been dating?"
"Ahhh..."
"Sorry it's none of my business"
I barely know Michelle so I really don't want to talk about my life or my relationship with Ash.
"Let's do shots?"
I really don't want a shot right now.
But it's the perfect way to avoid all this awkwardness.
"I'll buy"
"No you won't Spencer I will"
"Come on Ash?"
There's no way she's going to let me buy.
"Are you in Michelle?"
"Sure why not"
I follow Ash as she walks over to the bar.
"Tequilla?"
"I don't mind Ash you choose"
"I vote we get wet pussys"
That's a brilliant idea.
"I want a wet pussy"
Where did she come from?
"Maddy we're doing shots are you in?"
"Is that a stupid question Ash of course I'm in"
"Four wet pussys it is"
"Ash you better make that five I'm meant to be buying Zara a drink"
"Okay"
I watch Ash as she orders our drinks.
"I know you"
She does.
"It's Madison right?"
"Yer you're..."
"Michelle"
Something just clicked.
"The bartender?"
"The ex bartender"
"Where are you working these days?"
"A friend of mine co-owns this place on Sunset so I work there now"
"That's cool"
"Maddy you better be grabbing me that drink?"
The more the merrier I say.
"Zara I never go back on my word"
She just noticed Michelle.
"Michelle?"
"Hey"
Now she's looking at me.
"Here Zara"
I pass her a shot.
"Ash bought you a wet pussy"
"Did she just?"
She raises her eyebrows.
"Careful Zara"
She's laughing.
"Maddy this doesn't count as the drink you owe me"
"I know Zara I'm still going to get you wasted and then I'm going to have my way with you"
When she says that we all start laughing.
"Keep telling yourself that Maddy"
"You'll love every second of it"
They'd be hot together.
"Here Michelle"
I pass her a shot as Ash hands out the others.
"Cheers"
We all touch our glasses together and quickly swallow our shots.
"Hey babe"
When I look across he's standing there.
"Spencer?"
