Hey cool kids. Thanks for the reviews! They make me smile. To Each Her Own has over 1,800 hits! Woo! But, that means there's people who read and don't review. I would be happy with a "PMS!" lol. Hell, i'd settle for a blank review, if that was possible. This story is for YOU! How am I supposed to write a nice long story that you all will like if I don't hear what you have to say? I'm just sayin'!
Weiter im programm!!
If anyone knows what that means, I'll give you the biggest cookie in the world!
Spencer's POV
((Flashback Continued))
We finally make it into Ashley's car. I've had this song stuck in my head all day and I want to listen to it finally. As soon as I'm settled I look through her iPod. Yes! Found it! I play 'Beating Heart Baby' by Head Automatica and sing along. After 20 minutes of singing select songs, we're finally at the restaurant. I've never seen a place like this before. Ashley pulls up and gets out, I follow suit and then the valet takes the car. We wait outside for Ashley's dad to arrive.
Spencer: "Ash, I'm so nervous." I hope everything goes well tonight.
Ashley grabs my hand and gives me a light kiss on the cheek.
Ashley: "Don't be, Spence. You're perfect."
That definitely makes me feel better. I turn around and look at the building I'm standing in front of. It's a very tall building and you can see a balcony way at the top. My gaze falls downward. First, to the big letters that read "Incandescence". Every few seconds the letters would catch on fire. Literally! (It's crazy enough that even the name sounded expensive. The whole fire thing was the very expensive icing on the cake.) Then I looked to the ground level, to the huge golden doors with two doormen with suits and white gloves standing tentatively in front of them. The suits even looked expensive. All black, probably Armani, with silk gold ties. What's up with this place and gold? I hope the food is good. I don't even know what kind of restaurant this is.
Ashley: "Spence? Spencer?"
Spencer: "Yeah?" Shit. I really need to stop talking to myself so much. I finally snap out of it and I see Ashley's dad in front of me.
Ashley: "Spence, this is my dad. Dad, this is my girlfriend, Spencer." Aw, she's cute.
Spencer: I look and see he has his hand out, waiting for me to shake it. I smile and shake his hand. "It's really great to meet you, Mr. Davies. I've heard a lot about you!"
Raife: "It's nice to meet you too! But please, call me Raife."
I smile at him. He puts his arm around Ashley and I as we head towards the big golden doors. The doormen greet us and open the doors. We walk in and immediately people are taking pictures and asking for Raife's autograph. He signs a few and we continue through the lobby. We're escorted to an elevator that is elegant inside and out. We enter the elevator along with two body guards. As we're standing in the elevator, I look around. It seems to be very old fashioned, and most likely very expensive. I over at Ashley, she looks so happy. She looks over at me, smiles and puts her arm around my waste. I can't help but smile. The elevator finally stops after about a minute. The doors open to reveal the most beautiful cityscape of Los Angeles I have seen yet. We're on the top of the building! I follow Ashley as she goes to sit at the table, if you want to call it that. It was more of a bar with a fire pit looking thing with a stainless steel table above it. I'm guessing it was some kind of grill. As I'm walking I take in my surroundings. There's like an entire private restaurant up here. Just for us. I sit down next to Ashley, who's next to her father. I look behind me and the two body guards are standing on each side of the elevator door. This is so crazy! Just then a Japanese man came walking over to us and set a wooden box on the grill. It was about the size of a shoe box. He had a name tag that read "Saruwatari". Nope, not even going to try to pronounce that. He smiled as he set the box down and walked away. It was more of an evil smirk though. This is when I started to get scared. I look to my right and see Ashley, then I lean forward a bit to see her dad. I look back up and see a large knife flying through the air towards us.
"OH MY GOD!!"
