SPENCER'S P.O.V
"SORRY WE'RE CLOSED"
"Is that why you have that closed sign on the door?"
When I hear her voice the biggest smile appears on my face.
"You're in New York?"
When I turn around she walks towards me.
"I had a couple of free hours so I thought I'd swing by"
When she gets to where I'm standing, I press my lips against hers.
It's been a really long eight days.
"Ash I've really missed you..."
"Little old me?"
"Little old you"
I can't stop smiling.
"I can't believe you're actually here"
"Spence I can't believe it's only been eight days..."
It's seems like it's been a lot longer than eight days.
"I feel like I haven't had sex in years"
When she says that I laugh.
"So you've flown across the country for a booty call?"
We're so alike.
"No I'm here to help..."
Okay.
"And for some booty"
She's definitely getting some booty.
"What do you mean when you say you're here to help?"
What am I missing?
"Spence you're horny and I'm going to help"
"That's not what you meant"
When I raise my eyebrows she looks away.
"Ashley what am I missing?"
"Babe I'm not really sure what you're talking about?"
She's a horrible liar.
"You said that you're here to help, why would you be here to help?"
She's not answering me.
"Ashley?"
"Spencer?"
"Ash I've abstained for a whole eight days and you're incredibly sexy, but I can still turn you down"
She's smirking.
"You think I'm sexy?"
I think she's ridiculously sexy.
"Why are you here to help?"
"Zara may have mentioned that you're struggling"
"She called you?"
"No, I called her"
"You called her?"
"Yep, I wanted to know how you were really going..."
"Ash we've talked every day"
"We have"
"I told you I was fine"
"Yer but you always tell porkies"
"Porkies?"
"Little lies"
She thinks she's so clever.
"Ashley I know what a porky is"
"Then you know that you tell them"
"I don't tell porkies..."
"I'm sorry Ashley I don't feel the same way"
That was a horrible impersonation.
"That was one time Ashley and I was scared..."
She's kissing me and I want to pull back and finish this lovely discussion we've been having. but it's been eight days.
Eight very long days.
"Sorry that was a bad porky example"
I can't stop smiling.
She's here.
I can actually touch her.
"Ash I'm sorry that Zara's dragged you all the way here"
"Spence she didn't drag me anywhere"
When she brushes her fingers through my hair, I smile.
"I came because I love you and you might not want to admit it, but you need my help"
She smells incredible.
She looks incredible.
"So tell me everything that you've been keeping from me"
"I haven't been keeping anything from you Ash, this place has just been really busy since we reopened and I'm obviously not as capable as I was pre accident"
"So you're struggling?"
"I'm managing"
"You're the bar manager Spence, don't you always manage?"
When she leans forward I brush my lips over hers.
"Look I have been feeling really run down and tired these last few days, but I'm fine"
"Spencer it's been a really long week so I'm going to skip the getting mad bit"
"The getting mad bit?"
Why's there a getting mad bit?
"I've asked you every day how you're going and you've told me you were fine..."
"Okay I'm going to cut you off right there"
She's barking up the wrong tree.
"Ash I have a broken collar bone and busted ribs, so running this bar isn't exactly easy, but I'm managing and if your situation was different"
"My situation?"
"Your mum's sick and you have an album to finish"
I don't want her to worry about me as well.
"Look I promised you that I was going to be honest and I have every intention of being truthful, but when you have your mum and you career to worry about, I'm not going to burden you with a little bit of pain and discomfort..."
"I'm handling everything Spence and you're never a burden"
She's really sweet.
"So how busy are you right now?"
I have a lot to do and not much time to do it.
"We open in an hour and I have to restock the fridges and tidy this place up"
The other stuff can wait.
"But I have time"
I'll always make time for her.
"Lead the way Spence"
