Smart In A Stupid Way

Chapter 3

By: babygirl2006

We got to my apartment and went inside. I grabbed Spencer's bag and carried it in for her. She grabbed... whatever her name is.. and carried her bag in. This is gonna kill me. I thought her dating guys was bad, this is so much worse. This makes me feel sick to my stomach and it hurts. For some reason it makes me feel rejected by her. This is the worst feeling I have ever had and I thought her leaving hurt me. We reached the apartment and I put her bag on her bed. It is still her room. I left the room the way she left it. She placed the girls bag next to hers.

"Ash?" Spencer said stopping me from leaving the room.

"Yeah?"

"Are you okay?" She asked. I looked at the girl standing next to her and walked out. I went into my room and got some clothes then went into the bathroom. I am going to take a shower. I turned the shower on and started undressing.

"What?" I said after hearing a knock on the door.

"May I come in?"

"I have no clothes on."

"I have seen you naked before. Unless you turned into a guy, I have seen everything you got. So, may I come in?" I unlocked the door and hopped in the shower before she got all the way into the bathroom. I heard the door close. She didn't say anything.

"Are you going to say something or just stand there the whole time?" I asked.

"I would like to say something but I could stand here too."

"Spence.."

"Sorry." She paused. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Grrreat. Now, if that is all, can you get out? I need to take a shower."

"Ash, what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Ash, stop lying to me. I may have been away for two and a half months and barely talked to you but I still know when you are lying to me. So, answer me. Please?" She quietly said.

"You said on the phone that you had fun with a GUY... Then you bring a girl with you. What's with all that?"

"I didn't want to say anything to you about it over the phone."

"So, instead you bring her with you and shove her in my face?"

"It's not even like that." She told me. I put my head under the running water. The water ran down my head, making it seem as if it was taking my thoughts with. The water made its way down my body, finally away from my mind all together. I heard the bathroom door open and close again. I took the rest of my shower in peace. After I got ready and went to look for Spencer. They were in Spencer room laying on her bed. I stood in the doorway.

"She is just a little difficult at first. She doesn't like new people. She'll loosen up." Spencer told her.

"It doesn't seem like she will. Was she like this when you first met her?"

"Never spill coffee on her. Especially if she is having a bad morning. It can get ugly."

"Are you serious?" She asked looking kind of scared. I wanted to laugh at the face Carol made but I didn't want them to know I was standing in the doorway listening to them talk about me.

"She wasn't that bad." She let out a giggle. As if she was replaying that morning we met in her head. It wasn't funny, I was mad. Then Spencer started talking again. "She can be the most kind, loving, funny person you ever met, if you got to know her. Theres not that many people she likes. Honestly I don't think she will ever like you."

"Why? What did I do? I just met her like 2 hours ago."

"Its the fact that your with me."

"Does she like you or something?" Carol questioned.

"She once told me that I could be with the perfect person but she still would think that, that person still wasn't good enough for me. She said I deserve the whole world and if they don't give it to me. Their not good enough for me. So, she wouldn't like them." Spencer said to Carol then she turned and looked at the ceiling. I cleared my throat and both girls looked at me. Probably wondering how long I have been here.

"It's 8:00. You guys hungry? We can order something or go out." I asked them.

"Actually, I am hungry." Spencer said. Carol just shook her head yes. I guess she isn't going to talk when I am around. All through dinner and watching a movie, I just keep replaying in my mind what Spencer said to Carol. 'She can be the most kind, loving, funny person you ever met, if you got to know her.' How is it that you feel you can tell someone everything but when it comes to trying to tell them, you are in love with them, you can't say anything at all? I guess that just means you can tell them everything. After the movie was over it was still only 10:30 on a Friday night. I am not ready for bed. I want to go out or something.

"Do you want to go to gray?" I asked Spencer.

"Yeah, that sounds like fun." She said. Her and Carol disappeared upstairs. They came back 20 minutes later.

"Ready to go Ash?" Spencer asked. I just stared at her. How could you make yourself look so beautiful in 20 minutes? She looks amazing in anything she wears. Even if she had nothing on. She looks so beautiful. Breathtaking. God the things this girl does to me. She just blows my mind.

"Mind blowing." I whispered in her ear as we walked out the door. She smiled at me.

"As do you... Always." She whispered back. God. I have to tell her... but I can't. The hardest thing I will ever have to do. I HAVE TO TELL HER!
