Chapter 4
Spencer's POV
"No. What about you?" Yes! She doesn't have a boyfriend. Maybe my instincts are right, and she's gay.
"No. Come on let's get to the house. It's almost time for lunch." I grab her hand and pull her towards the house. The sparks are still there.
In the kitchen is a table full of sandwiches and fruit for lunch. My parents are nowhere in sight. I haven't seen them or Glen all day. However, knowing Glen he went back to sleep. Ashley and I take our seats to eat. Lunch is quiet, we talk about nothing important. I'm pretty much avoiding the one question that could change our relationship. I wonder how she would react if I asked her if she has a girlfriend? I really want to know though. I think I will ask her.
"So Ash since you don't have a boyfriend. What about a girlfriend?"
Ashley's POV
(Coughing) Did she just ask me if I had a girlfriend? Okay, I was not expecting that. Looking at her, she looks like she is really regretting asking me.
"Sorry. I... I didn't... mean... to..." Even when she stutters, it's cute. Cutting her off
"Don't worry about it Spence. It's fine. I promise. I don't have a girlfriend at the moment." I hope she catches on to that.
"Thanks. Sorry for assume..." Seeing the realization come across your face is priceless. "Wait. You said at the moment. That means that you're gay. Right?"
"Yes I am. Are you ok with that?" Please let her be. Please! "Look if you're uncomfortable with it. I understand. I will just stay out of your way the rest of the time I'm here. Sorry." I get up and start running for the door. I have to get away from her. The hurt I'm feeling right now is unbearable, and I haven't even kissed her yet. I'm about to throw the door open when I feel a hand touch my shoulders. I don't even have to turn around to know it's her. I can feel the sparks, plus she is the only other person in the room.
"Ashley. I'm sorry. I... I didn't mean to make you think..." Turning around I'm met with Spencer's tear stained face. "It's ok that you're gay. I don't mind. Please stay." I don't think I will ever be able to refuse her anything she wants.
Spencer's POV
I almost screwed up big time. She was going to leave just like that. I can't lose her. Not thinking anymore, I pulled her into me for a hug. My arms wrap around her neck and at first, she is stiff. A moment later, however she is wrapping her arms around my waist pulling us tighter together. The sparks have turned into electricity running through our bodies. The sensations flowing through my body are almost too much, making me nearly pull away, but her placing her head on my shoulder, makes me forget that thought instantly. I could get used to this, the feel of her in my arms, her breath on my neck. I pull back after a minute or so and we lock eyes. I can see the depth in her chocolate orbs. They are completely open and full of something I cannot place at the moment. I've seen it somewhere before. I just can't put my finger on it.
Ashley leans in to me. I think she is going to kiss. I am so not ready for this. It's too soon. I haven't even came out to myself completely yet. Even if I'm pretty sure, I'm gay. I am not ready to kiss a girl in my parent's kitchen of all places. She is so close to me, I can feel her breath on my lips, but she sees the fear in my eyes. Instead of truly giving me a kiss, she turns her head to side and pecks my cheek.
Ashley's POV
Shit! I almost kissed her. I want to, don't get me wrong but when I saw the fear and uncertainty in her eyes I couldn't do it. I pulled completely away from her and muttered an apology to her before leaving her standing by herself in the kitchen.
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid Ashley! I probably just completely wrecked our friendship over that little stunt. That must be a new world record for me or something we where not even friends a full day. I'm such a screw up!
Spencer's POV
My cheek is tingling from where she kissed it. Covering my cheek to savour the feeling a little bit longer, I look up to realize Ashley is gone. Shit! Where did she go? I hope she doesn't think I'm upset with her or that I don't want to be her friend still. "I wanted to." I whisper to myself.
"Wanted to what?' Holy shit! I didn't realize someone else was here.
"Nothing" is all I say as I try to make a break for it before any other questions can be asked. I didn't make it.
"Where are the others?" I have never been able to get away from my mother in time. My dad is another story. I need Glen. Where is he?
"I had Aiden, Kyla, and Madison move the pile."
"Why?"
"They wrecked the stable."
"What about Miss Davies?"
"She had already finished mucking out her stalls and came and found me. Plus she helped me clean up their mess." I turn to make another break for the door but she grabs my elbow before I can run.
"You are not to be friends with that girl or any of the others. You understand!" I don't want to be friends I want to be so much more to her.
"Yes Ma'am" and I bolt out the door to look for Ashley or Glen.
I looked around for an hour with no luck. I couldn't find either one of them, so I did the only thing I could think of to clear my mind. I practiced my barrels, with Thunder, for the competition coming up in a couple of weeks.
Leaning into the first turn as we approached the barrel, Thunder cut the turn perfectly and galloped towards the next one. Rounding that barrel even sharper then the last, we raced to the last barrel in the middle. Thunder rounded it with easy before breaking out into a full speed gallop towards the finished line. We are performing perfectly together. This competition is in the bag.
Ashley's POV
Wow! She's good. I found her and Thunder running around the three barrels after our so-called classes. She can't see me from my position in the bushes. I could watch her all day. Please let her still be talking to me. I have never wanted a friend as much as I wanted her.
Spencer's POV
I didn't see anyone else that day until dinnertime. Ashley sat across from me, which left Aiden to sit beside me. I could feel her eyes burning into the top of my head through the entire meal. I couldn't bare to look up though. It hurts that she avoided me all day. Maybe I can get her to talk to me once we are in the safety of my room. More importantly, at least at the moment I hope we are still going to play that prank on Aiden together. I am going to stab my fork into is hand if he touches my leg one more time underneath the table. The guy just does not have a clue. You would think that if someone was trying to sit as far away from you as I was to him. He would realize that I'm not interested at all. I mean come on. I'm sitting on top of my mother if that says anything at all about it.
Madison and Kyla have done nothing but scowl at me the entire time. They are upset with me for making them move the pile, but I couldn't let them go unpunished because if my mom found out I wouldn't be allowed to compete in the barrel competition coming up. I will try to apologize to them after bible studies.
Ashley's POV
Some of the chores they had us do today were insane. I mean come on I had to pick corn, potatoes, and tomatoes just to name a few. Then we had to feed all the animals, wash the dishes, and scrub the bathrooms. Not to mention the classes we had to attend. I really have no interest in learning about any of that stuff except maybe the horses, which we didn't have today. Tomorrow we get to learn how to milk a cow. Sounds like a party! On a sadder note, I feel really awful about avoiding Spencer all day even if I did watch her ride. She didn't know. I will try to talk to her when we are safely in her room tonight. I also have to come up with a plan for Aiden. Think! Think! Think! What can we possibly do to him that would totally embarrass him without killing him?
BRAIN BLAST! I got it. I hope Spencer will help. Brain blast? I have got to stop watching Jimmy Neutron. I'll talk to my gorgeous blonde tonight.
Spencer's POV
Showered and dressed for bed, I make my way to my room. I hope that Ashley is there. Entering the room, I'm met with beautiful brown eyes again. We lock for a split second before I look away breaking the moment. I make my way to my bed and sit down. Sighing and running my fingers through my hair, I decide to break the uncomfortable silence that has over taken us.
"Why did you run off?"
"Honestly. I was scared. Scared that you would freak on me or something. You're the first real friend I've had in a long time. I'm so sorry Spence. I promise it will not happen again. I promise..." I cut her rambling off.
"Ashley breath. It's ok. I promise. I still want to be your friend." A smile brakes across her face and before I realize it, I'm on my back with a laughing Ashley on top of me hugging me for dear life. The sparks are back. Having Ash on top of me is a wonderful feeling that I never want to lose. She pulls back to look at me and we are in the same trance as before in the kitchen. This time however Ashley pulls completely back and out of the embrace. She mutters a "sorry" before sitting in front of me on my bed.
"Before I forget. I have a great idea for a prank." Ashley announces. I hope its good.
"Let's here it."
"Remember that movie The Cowboy Way?" Yeah. But why? OMG!
"Ashley we cannot let a calf suck on his penis no matter how funny it might be at the moment. He could lose it." Wait! That might me a good thing. No bad Spencer for thinking that.
"Come on it's a great idea. We can film it and put it on youtube." That would be funny but no Ashley would end up in juvie for sure. I would probably be right behind her.
"I have a better idea."
Ashley's POV
That sucks that we can't use my idea; however, Spencer's idea is great. Tomorrow is going to be great. I can't wait. Spencer and I talk for a little while longer. We are almost back to where we where before I almost kissed her. Like I said almost. She seems to be battling with something in her mind but she's not sharing. I hope it's not about me. I fall asleep with a smile on my face. I know I'm going to be dreaming about the almost kiss tonight.
Pots and pans again. God! I hate the alarm clock here. I can't throw it at the wall. I climb out of bed and get dressed before making my way down to breakfast. Today is going to be great. I sit by Spencer today while Aiden sulks across the table. I laugh to myself thinking about what will happen today. Paybacks a bitch!
Spencer's POV
I talked to Glen this morning about everything I am feeling. He said he would support me with whatever I choose. He is the best big brother. I'm going to miss him when he goes away for college. Glen did die laughing when I told him the plan for Aiden today. He agreed to help.
Everyone finished his or her regular chores before meeting Glen and I at the stable again.
"Ok guys! We are gonna learn how to milk a cow." Glen smirked at Aiden before continuing.
He explained everything and showed them how with a rubber clove as example. Aiden smirked when Glen mentioned it was like jacking off a guy. He probably had a lot of practice.
"So who wants to try first?" Glen looked at Aiden "Come on Aiden. Show the girls how it's done."
"Sure" We all followed Glen to the back of the stables. In the pen was a bull.
"Okay dude. Take this bucket and stool and get to it." It's a good thing Glen tied Old Doc to a post. Plus once you start arousing a bull, he will not move anyway.
"Isn't that..." I cut Kyla off and whisper in her ear what's happening. She turns around and tells Madison. They are both snickering now.
The dumb jock sits the stool down beside the bull and places the bucket underneath. Before we even realize it, he is stroking the bull up and down. "There is nothing coming out!" He yells.
"It takes a little bit of time. Just keep going!" Glen yells back.
Aiden nods and keeps up his strokes. Finally we all here the bull makes a noise before releasing his cum into the bucket. He comes back over with a big grin on his face. "I did it!" You sure did dumbass.
"Why don't you try some?" Aiden nods and lifts the bucket up to taste the milk.
"Hey kids! What are ya'll up to?" My dad just had to come over here.
"I just got through milking that cow over there." Aiden proclaims excitedly and points to the bull. He takes big gulp out of the bucket. YES! After he removes the bucket and wipes his face that was covered in the milk.
"Son that is not a cow. That is a bull."
What did you think of that prank? Let me know please!
