I Do Not Own South Of Nowhere, Nor Do I Own The Characters

Chapter Two

The car ride wasn't going to be long, but I enjoyed listening to music and watching the landscape pass by me. I reached over and changed the song on my Ipod, knowing the song will suit the drive.

As I drove and listen to the song, I thought back to when driving was something I use to hate. Now its an ecscape for me, where I find my self relxing back and just enjoying the drive and remembering all the memories growing up.

I turned into the driveway to Carlins house, I couldn't help notice how beautiful and old the house was. It was painted a light blue, with white trimming, the deck was as long as the house with a swing to the side. I pulled up and shut of my engine, stepping out letting Tommy get out also.

I took a look around as Tommy ran back down the driveway, knowing he would come back when I called him. I noticed a small little shed that matched the house, but it had to doors that were wide open. I started to walk over when I heared Tommy barking, it turned and saw a women walking with him up the driveway. I smiled and walked towards her, couldn't help be blown away from how beautiful this women was. She had long blond hair, and was dressed in a pair of baggy jeans that were covered in paint, matching her paint covered t- shirt.

"Hey you must me the handyman, or should I say handywomen." I laugh and nodded.

"Yes that's me, Ashley Davies ma'am"

"Please call me Spencer, thanks for coming out I hope it wasn't too far for you"

"No, I actually just live 30mins from here. I don't mind driving when there's a beautiful sceanery to look at"

"Yes it is really beautiful in the fall, its why I moved here actually. I wanted to get away from the city, you know and breathe fresh air"I smiled and nodded.

"You will really like it up here, I moved here two years ago and I fall more in love with this place each year"

"I can see why, So Mr. Keller told me you're the one to call for repairs around a house.?"

"Ya I'm the one to call, so what can I help you with" we both turned and looked at the house, and the yard around it.

"I would like to fix up the house maybe with a new coat of paint? The boards on the deck don't seem to sturdy either" I nodded and walked over to the deck, stepping on a few boards, noticing some where about to break.

"I see what you mean, well I would be more then happy to help you out. I will have to run into town and get some supplies, do you know what colour you want to house? Or do you want the same colour?" I looked up at spencer, who was now leaning on the ledge with her hands in her pockets.

"The same colour would be fine" I smiled and nodded.

"Okay well I will run into town and I'll be back in about a hour, then I will start on fixing the deck first"

"Do you think I can go with you, I need to get more painting supplies and I don't have a car at the moment"

"Of course, as long as you don't mind having a dog breathe down your neck" we both laughed as Tommy barked.

"I love dogs, whats his name?" we started to walk towards my jeep, stopping so I could open her door.

"Tommy" she smiled and climbed in to the front seat, letting me shut her door.

"Thank you, and I love huskeys there eyes are so beautiful" I walked around and opening the door for Tommy to jump into the back seat. Getting in my self, I made sure I turned down the stereo before I started my jeep, I didn't want to scare spencer with my loud music.

"Just like yours" I smiled as I noticed Spencer blushing, I started up the jeep and put in it gear backing down the drive way.
