One year before that…

SPENCER POV

It was a rainy Sunday morning in LA, one day I hadn´t see in a while around here. The raindrops were so violent that their deafening noise while heating the roof, right upon my head, wake me up. I remember it was one of those days you just want to grab a movie and stay at home, which was exactly what I was intending to do, until I turn around in my bed and see that gleeful face of hers, looking straight at me in a portrait I kept in my bedside cabinet, and that was when I remembered, that after all, there might be some better things to do than staying at home, even in a stormy day. But still, and even though I was aware of this, I was far to know what was really going to happen that day, and how bright and cheerful that tempestuous weekend was going to turn out to be…or maybe not.

While Spencer was on her underwear trying to choose something to dress, her cell phone rings. It was Ashley! She picks up, with the largest smile.

Spencer: "Hey baby! I was just thinking about you"

Ashley: "Really? Well…actually you crossed my mind too, but only for a few seconds, nothing much."

Spencer: "Oh really? So I guess me being almost naked, trying to figure out something to dress, for you, doesn´t really make to much sense, now does it?"

Ashley: "Honey, you being naked, and me, always make sense"

Spencer (laughing): "You´re such an ass."

Ashley: "Oh I know…that´s why you love me!"

They both giggle. But Ashley became more serious.

Ashley: "Now seriously baby, I was thinking… since you just became a responsible graduated journalist, your PARENTS (She puts a special intonation in this last part) wouldn´t mind if you…" And she is interrupted by Spencer.

Spencer (giggling): "I know…can you believe that!"

Ashley: "Of course Spence, you so deserve it, plus you´re the greatest person i´ve ever meet and you worked so hard on this, I know you´ll keep working, and that´s why you will be the greatest journalist investigator in the whole world, and if i´m lucky, I will be there with you to see it happen".

Spencer (melting with Ash´s complements, say in a groaning voice): "Own…you´re the best girlfriend in the world, you know that? And don´t be silly, of course you´re going to be there. You were there in the last seven years, weren´t you? So…what could ever change?"

Ashley: "Nothing I hope." but that will be up to you (she thinks) "But, how I was saying, I was wondering, if you didn´t want to spend this weekend with me, I kind of…have some plans"

Spencer (Lifs her right eyebrow): "Plans! What plans?"

Ashley: "Well…that you will have to leave with me. Soooo…are you coming?"

Spencer: "Mmmm…spende the entire weekend, only with you...mmm, I don´t know…" (silence) "Of course i´m going, you silly bunny"

Ashley: "Great! So hurry up…when can you be here?"

Spencer: "I just need to pack some stuff, i´ll be there in…40 minutes?"

Ashley: "Deal. Love you!"

Spencer: "Love you to. Bye"

-- And so it began…one of the most emotional full periods of my life.
