I grabbed my keys and wallet to put into my purse. I was debating if I should bring a sweater. Nah, I shouldn't, it's way too hot outside. In five minutes I was outside of my house and walking towards Ashley's. I rang the doorbell and a girl with short light brown hair and eyes answered the door:
"Hi! You must be Spencer, I'm Kyla, Ashley's sister. Come in." She greeted as I stepped into their beautifully decorated home.
"Hi Kyla, it's so nice to meet you!" I was in awe of their amazing house, "Wow you really have a nice house."
"Thanks," Kyla chuckled, "Ashley will be down soon. Just make yourself comfortable." I sat on their black leather couch as Kyla went upstairs. She was wearing short neon pink denim shorts with a cute tribal print grey top. Cute outfit, I thought to myself.
While I was waiting, I noticed a few paintings on the walls but no family pictures. They were probably not into that kind of stuff like my family was. Our old house in Ohio was decorated with pictures of Glen and I; it was kind of embarrassing.
"Hey," I heard someone greeted- it was Ashley coming down the stairs, "Do you want anything? Food? Water?" She offered.
"Oh no it's okay, but thank you." I smiled at her trying to hide the redness my cheeks were about to form. Ashley was, excuse me, IS really hot. I thought she was cute last night but wow. She was wearing short denim shorts and an electric blue crop top that showed off her toned stomach.
"Kyla, can you hurry up?!" Ashley yelled.
"Just start the car! I'll be down there in 2 minutes!" Kyla shouted back.
I got up from the couch and followed Ashley to the garage so she could start the car. "Wow," I said with a shocked face, "This is your car?" There were two black BMW's- one two door and one four door.
"Yeah, the two door one. It's amazing how much money you inherit when your rock star dad dies" Ashley said sarcastically while unlocking the door so we could get in.
I just smiled because I didn't know what to say. Gosh I'm so awkward. We both shared a moment of silence until Kyla came into the garage. ""Finally!" Ashley said while turning on the engine. " There was something about her that made me curious, I just don't know what. All I knew is that I wanted to get to know her better.
Ashley was driving, Kyla was in the passenger seat, and I was sitting behind Kyla. Ashley was about to change the station on the radio when Kyla stopped her: "Don't Ash, I LOVE this song!" Ashley just rolled her eyes at what she just said. "BABY YOU LIGHT UP MY WORLD LIKE NOBODY ELSE, THE THAT YOU FLIP YOUR HAIR GETS ME OVERWHELMED, BUT WHEN YOU SMILE AT THE GROUND IT AIN'T HARD TO TELL, YOU DON'T KNOW OH OH, YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR BEAUTIFUL" Kyla was singing fucking One Direction. I won't lie to you though; I really like their songs.
Ashley changed the station as soon as Kyla finished the chorus, "And thank you Kyla for making it worse that it already was." She then left it on the station that was playing Ho Hey by the Lumineers.
"What kinda music do you like Spence?" Kyla asked me while Ashley was cruising on the freeway.
I tilted my head, "I like anything mostly. One Direction has catchy songs and they're adorable but I don't have a preferred genre." I caught Ashley look at me through the rearview mirror making eye contact.
"We should totally go to a One Direction concert together! She's coming here in November! I know Ash wouldn't wanna go with me." Kyla said enthusiastically.
"Yeah, that sounds good!" I told her, smiling. Ashley was pretty silent on the drive to…Actually I didn't know where we were going. WHAT IF I WAS BEING KIDNAPPED?! What a silly thought, they wouldn't do that, would they?
Ashley pulled up into a parking spot and that's when I saw the pier and beach. I've never seen the beach before until now and it looked amazing. The weather was sunny and hot. Good thing I'm wearing shorts.
"So, what are we doing?" I asked getting out of the car as Kyla held the door for me.
Ashley smirked, "You'll see." I felt incredibly attracted to her when she smirked. What is going on with me?
We were walking on the pier until I heard a deep voice yell out Kyla's name. He ran up to us and gave Kyla a kiss on the cheek. "Spence," Kyla wrapped her arms around the guy's waist, "this is my boyfriend, Aiden Dennison. Babe, this is Spencer Carlin, our new neighbor. She's from Ohio."
"Very nice to meet you Spencer," Aiden held out his hand for me to shake. He wasn't a bad looking guy. I could tell he was at least six feet, green eyes, and dark hair. He was wearing an Obey red tank with cargo shorts and flip-flops. Yeah, Aiden was the definition of a California boy.
I smiled at him, "Nice to meet you as well."
"Hey Ash." Aiden looked at Ashley gave her some sort of handshake. At first I was confused because I didn't know what they were doing but it was pretty cute. Aiden held out his right hand while Ashley held out her left hand and their thumbs tapped each other's hands. It caused me to giggle.
"What, you've never seen a hand hug before?" Ashley chuckled. She held out her right hand, "take your left hand and connect it with my right and tap your thumb on my hand". As soon as our skin touched, there was an instant reaction in my body. Electricity was surging through my body begging for my skin to be attached to hers again. Our hands disconnected and I saw Ashley's face go pale.
"Are you okay Ash?" Kyla asked her leaving her boyfriend's side.
Ashley replied with her eyes still on me then back to her sister's, "…Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go on the rollercoasters."
We spent the day riding rollercoaster's and playing games. While we were playing games, Kyla and Aiden disappeared. I guess they wanted their privacy meaning I was left with Ashley. We both stopped to talk on a bench near a t-shirt shop and talked about everything; I got to know her and she got to know me; her likes and dislikes. That girl knows how to make me laugh. I didn't realize we were talking for two hours because Aiden and Kyla showed up and suggested we get something to eat at their favorite diner. It was a cute place, like it wasn't fancy or anything. It had some vintage feel to it. We grabbed a booth and I proceeded to scan the menu for something delicious. Aiden, Kyla, and Ashley didn't have to look at the menu because they already knew what they were going to order. I felt like such a newbie. Aiden and Kyla sat together while me and Ashley sat in the across from them. Aiden recommended a black and white shake so I ordered that and a cheeseburger.
"I'll be right back, gotta wash my hands." Aiden excused himself from the table. Just as he left I felt something brush against my right leg.
"Sorry." It was Ashley's hand. There my body goes again. Electrical surges I tell you, just from Ashley.
Aiden came back and we chatted until our food came. And let me tell you, Aiden was right about the black and white milkshakes- they are delicious! I was happily sipping the milkshake until Aiden asked me a question: "So Spencer, did you have a boy back in Ohio?"
"No, not really…Boys aren't really my type." I confessed. I came out to my parents the beginning of freshmen year and my dad and my brother were totally supportive but it took my mom awhile to come around.
"Cool! Neither is Ashley." Kyla said as she dipped her fry in ketchup. I caught Ashley glare at her sister, "What?" Kyla asked looking confused.
"Thank you, Kyla." Ashley said sarcastically.
"It's not like it's a secret anyway, Ash."
"That's so hot!" Aiden said with excitement until Kyla punched his arm when he said that.
I laughed and continued drinking my milkshake until the glass became empty. "So Kyla," She head perked up at the sound of her name, "are you the younger sister or old sister?"
Aiden, Ashley, and Kyla erupted in laughter. I can feel myself turning red again. What's so funny?!
"Me and Ash get this question a lot but we're twins." She explained to me while she wiped her lips with a napkin, "Most people think Ash is older than me, which she is by two hours but we're fraternal twins."
This I would not have known if Kyla hadn't told me. Ashley looked at me then shifted her eyes down to her empty plate.
"Thanks for inviting me to the pier," I thanked them as I chipped in for the check.
"We should do this again." Aiden said wrapping his arm around Kyla's shoulder.
"Dummy, she's going to King with us!" Kyla told him.
"Yeah? Cool! Now we can hangout!" Aiden insisted.
After dinner, Kyla said goodbye to Aiden since he came in a separate car and we headed home. Ashley pulled into her driveway and we got out of her car. It was almost eight and I already felt tired. I thanked Kyla and Ashley for today. Just as I was walking down the driveway I heard someone call out for me: "Wait Spence." It was Ashley walking towards me. "I'll walk you." She offered.
"You sure? It's not that long of walk." I giggled.
"Yeah, of course. Why not?" Ashley insisted as she smiled, walking with me.
"You're full of surprises Ashley Davies." I told her before I went inside my house.
She smirked, "Yeah, I know. It's what makes me amazing." God that smirk.
I laughed and gave her a hug then she left. My parents and Glen were already home. They asked how my day was and if I was hungry. After we talked for a few minutes I went upstairs to take a shower then got into my pajamas. I know it was still pretty early but I was tired okay! Today was fun day I thought to myself. I caught myself thinking about Ashley. Maybe I have a crush on her...well not maybe…okay fine, I have a crush on her. How could I not? She had the most amazing brown eyes; I felt so hypnotized talking to her earlier on the bench. I've only lived her for two days and I already have a crush on someone. What have I gotten myself into?
