I walk back into the theater and sit down next to Spencer. At least she won't notice because its dark. As the movie starts I take her hand in mine and send a smile her way. She smiles back and squeezes it. So basically during the rest of the movie we just hold hands and enjoy what we have. Each other.
The movie sucked. Like seriously wow that was horrible. Utterly dreadful. Okay enough sounding like Simon Cowell. We get up and walk out of the theater and I know she's going to notice any second. So what do I tell her? The truth? Oh hey Spencer guess what? Madison slapped me because I'm a dyke. Yea, no, not happening. We keep walking and she looks over at me and stops dead in her tracks. I know the question is coming.
"Hey Ash can I have a hamburger?" okkaaaayyy not exactly the question I was thinking of but okay.
"Sure Spence." She jumps up and down like a 5 year old. She is so adorable. I take her hand and we keep walking. She looks over at me again and stops dead in her tracks. Again.
"Ash what happened to your face?"
"Is that your way of calling me ugly?" I laugh.
"No I mean you have a cut. What happened?"
"Uhh…um."
"Wait…..was it Madison." My silence gives her an answer.
"What the fuck! I'm going to kill that bitch! No one touches my baby girl!" Wait did she just call me……..
"Spence. Hey calm down alright. We'll worry about her later." I say trying to calm her.
"Ash…..she hit you, how can I calm down?" she says running the back of her hand over my injured cheek. She kisses it softly and touches it again.
"Spence?"
"…………."
"Spence?"
"Hmm, what yeah?" I laugh at her zoning out.
"You called me your baby girl."
"Oh, uh, what I meant was-" I cut her off with a kiss. I would love to be her girl.
"What you meant was?"
"Ha, I don't even know. I just……I really like you and I know we've been on only one date but I was wondering…….do you want to be my girlfriend?"
I tapped my chin like I was thinking it over. Of course I was going to say yes. But she doesn't need to know that.
"Hmmm, I'll have to think about it."
"Oh" she says looking down. I pick her chin up with my hand and look into her eyes.
"I'd like that." She gave me one of the biggest smiles ever and I kissed her.
"Now let's go get you that hamburger"
About ten minutes later we got to Burger King. Which is an awesome place by the way.
"So what do you want Spence?"
"Get me a kids meal, I gotta pee."
"Thanks for sharing."
"Anytime." She says skipping off to the bathroom.
I get the food and sit down at a table. I take one of the BK crowns and put it on my head. I must look like a real dork. Oh well. I start eating my chicken fries when a girl walks into the place. I turn my head quickly realizing who it is.
"Shit" I say under my breathe
"What's shit?" Spencer says sitting down.
"Uh nothing. Hey you want to go now because this place is kind of dorky."
"This coming from the girl wearing the BK crown." She smirks
I laugh nervously taking it off. "Hey Ash." Shit. It's Jordan. Spencer gives me a weird look. I look over to Jordan with a glare.
"Hi Jordan." Unfortunately because the world hates me so much, she slides in next to me and takes my hand. Spencer notices this and gives me a questioning look. I pull my hand away.
"We were just leaving."
"No stay awhile" Jordan says pushing me down. "So you must be the 'other girl'" she says using air quotes.
"Other girl?" Spencer questions. This is going to suck.
"Yeah you know the one Ashley was telling me about on Saturday…..when she spent the night." She says giving Spencer a smirk.
Spencer gets up to leave. "Spencer wait!" I chase her out to the parking lot wand see her walking in front of me.
"Spencer will you at least talk to me?!"
"Go away!"
"Spencer I'm sorry!"
I grab her arm and make her face me. She looks really angry. "What Ashley? What could you possibly have to say to me?"
I look down at the ground. What am I going to say?
"Spencer I'm so sorry."
"That's all? Ashley you slept with her!"
"I know! But it was before we were together and we never talked about not seeing other people."
"I thought you'd changed Ashley. Apparently not." And she walks away. I just let her walk away. Wait she doesn't have a ride. I get in my car and start to drive. I didn't have to go far though considering she was only 100 yards away.
"Spencer will you get in the car?" She ignored me. "Spencer come on it's a really long walk!" She stopped and looked at me. Then she walked over and got in.
It was silent the whole way home. Finally we got to her house and I turned off the car and just sat there. We sat there for 5 minutes and she finally spoke up.
"Ash I just want you to know that…….this doesn't change the way I feel about you. I still want to be with you"
I let out a breathe I didn't realize I was holding. I was so relieved.
"I am so glad to hear that Spence, you have no idea."
She took my hand and rubbed circles on it with her thumb.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" I nodded. She kissed my cheek and got out. I watched her until she got inside the house and then drove off.
I got to my house and went inside and found something horrible.
"Mom?"
