Chapter 6
The light was shining straight on to Spencer's face begging her to wake up but she was trying to fight it so she didn't have to deal with anything that happened last night. She also didn't want to deal with the fact that the girl that she is working for was currently laying her head on her shoulder with her legs tangled in her own. This was definately something that Spencer wanted to ignore but knew she couldn't because Ashley was right there with her body pressed against her own. Spencer finally admitted defeat and opened her eyes to see Ashley sound asleep looking peaceful and really beautiful but Spencer to ignore that part because they had agreed not to go there. However, Spencer started to doubt that decision immensely as she watched Ashley sleep thinking how she hadn't done this for so long and how she actually missed the closeness of another person but then she remember how getting this close to somebody can only lead to heartache and loneliness. With that thought in her head Spencer moved herself from under the weight of Ashley's body stirring the peaceful girl. Spencer took the opportunity to escape the closeness before she got to used to it. Ashley immediately noticed the coldness that hit her as Spencer moved away causing her to force her eyes open from the peaceful sleep.
"The recording studio is booked for 11.30" Were the only words Spencer could muster as she saw the look of disappoint in Ashley's chocolate eyes.
"Oh...ok" Ashley replied sleepily as she sat up trying to make sense of Spencer's sudden movement and cold tone.
"I'm gonna jump in the shower" Spencer explained passing Ashley a t-shirt.
"What's this?" Ashley asked as she picked up the shirt.
"It's the shirt a spilt the coffee on"
"Why would I want to wear a dirty t-shirt?" Ashley asked confused.
"I cleaned it for you silly" Spencer laughed which she hadn't meant to because she was trying to stay distant.
"Oh right...thank you"
Spencer gave Ashley a final smile and headed into the bathroom. Ashley got herself dressed and made her way into the kitchen in search of coffee only to find Aiden sat at the breakfast bar drinking some sort of smoothie.
"Hey Aiden"
"Morning" Aiden replied with a smirk.
"What's with the smile?"
"No reason...you want coffee?"
"Yes please otherwise I can't function" Ashley answered grabbing the cup from Aiden. Ashley took a seat next to Aiden at the breakfast bar.
"How you feeling?"
"A little bit hungover and confused"
"Spencer has that effect on girls" Aiden laughed which is when Ashley caught on to what he was thinking but she wanted to dig a little deeper so played dumb.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing..I just assumed.."
"What did you assume?"
"Nothing...Spencer just has a talent is all"
"What talent is this?"
"Well if you have to ask then you clearly don't know so it doesn't matter"
"Tell me anyway"
"She can make a girl fall for her in seconds"
"Is that a bad thing?"
"It is for the other girl"
"Why?"
"Because she never falls back...well not ever since...nevermind" Aiden realised that he was about to reveal more than Spencer ever wants people to know.
"Since what?"
"No offence Ashley but that is not my place to say"
"You've pratically blurted it out anyway..come on Aiden I just want to know abit more about her"
"Why?"
"Because...just tell me"
"Alright but don't tell her I said anything?"
"Pinky promise now spill"
"Spencer used to date Colby and they were stupidly in love..you know one of those gross couples that anybody whose single can't stand..well" Before Aiden could finish Spencer in true Spencer style walked in and interrupted the conversation.
"Found the coffee then?" Spencer aimed at Ashley.
"Yep..Aiden was on hand to help"
"Good old Aiden" Spencer was glaring at Aiden as if to warn him that if has said anything to Ashley that she would inflict some unbareable pain upon him.
"We should go Spencer..if you can just give me a ride to the recording studio and that's all I need you for today"
"Ok..lets go. I'll talk to you later Aiden"
"Bye you two"
The ride over to the recording studio was becoming increasingly more uncomfortable for both Ashley and Spencer. Neither girl had said anything for at least 20 mins and neither of them could handle it for much longer.
"So are you actually going to talk to me today?" Ashley asked out of sheer frustration. She couldn't understand what was up with Spencer and why she had become even more cold than already was.
"Yea what do you wan to talk about?" Spencer asked trying to act like nothing was wrong.
"Hmm let me see....how about the fact that you have turned into even more of an ice queen over night?or the fact that you haven't looked me in the eyes since I woke up?"
"I'm not an ice queen"
"Yes you are..what's your problem?"
"I don't have one I'm just trying to keep this professional" Spencer wasn't lying in fact she was being a hundred percent honest. She didn't want to complicate things between them especially because Ashley wasn't even officially gay and because she didn't do any form of complicated.
"It's not professional it's uncomfortable Spencer and it's weird"
"We're here" Spencer said as she pulled up outside the studio.
"You coming in?" Ashley asked already knowing the answer.
"You said you didn't need me" Spencer replied finally making eye contact with Ashley.
"I don't" Ashley snapped as she climbed out of the car slamming the door. She walked away without even looking back at Spencer. Spencer drove off as quickly as possible so that she could get home and talk to Aiden to make sure he had said anything of any significance to Ashley.
Ashley stormed her way into the studio and threw herself on the sofa ignoring everybody in the room. A guy that was sat playing guitar joined Ashley on the sofa and passed her a beer.
"What's up Davies?"
"Nothing"
"Don't lie I've known since you a kid. I know it ain't nothing to do with that singer guy"
"It doesn't matter Joey I'm just tired and fed up" Ashley replied resting her head on the much older guys shoulder. Joey was the guitarist in her dads band and he had been helping Ashley sort out her new album. He had always been there for Ashley since her dad died and was the only other person in her life that knew about her sexuality.
"Just try and be happy kid"
"I'm trying but nobody seems to wanna make it easy on me"
"They never make it easy on you..trust me"
"Then what's the point?"
"Find the things that make you happy and keep them"
"That was deep"
"I'm not kidding...just try forget all this crap and have fun"
"Not that simple when I have people following me all the time"
"It's the price you pay for fame"
"I don't want to be famous..I just want to make music"
"Then get your moody little ass in that booth and make some music"
Ashley did as she was told and picked up her guitar.
Spencer pushed the front door open and found Aiden where he always is sat in front of the t.v playing rock band.
"Hey loser"
"Hey whore"
"Excuse me?"
"You totally nailed Ashley Davies"
"Don't be so stupid"
"She totally had that I've just fallen for Spencer Carlin look in her eyes this morning"
"No she didn't and we didn't do anything so please shut up"
"Don't lie to me Spence..don't worry I'm not going to tell anybody"
"We kissed but it was a mistake"
"I totally fucking knew it"
"Don't get over excited it was nothing and won't happen again"
Spencer had spent the drive back getting more and more annoyed at herself. She was annoyed that she had been so mean to Ashley and more annoyed at herself for caring that she had been mean to Ashley. She knew that she needed to not be around that girl anymore and had tried to call Glenn to tell him that it wasn't going to work but wussed out remembering that his job was on the line. So instead she had decided that she was just going to have to be mean to Ashley so that there was no connection between them.
"How so?"
"I won't let it"
"Spence why do you do this to yourself?"
"Do what?"
"You close yourself off from everyone..you have meaningless sex with meaningless girls that you have no connection with. Why even bother kissing Ashley if you had no interest in her?"
"I'm happy that way now drop it"
"You're not happy Spence"
Spencer didn't answer Aiden she just walked out the front door and headed straight to her car. She was fed up of Aiden and his stupid habit of knowing everything about her. She just wants to get the summer over and done with so she can go back to her life. Her life without Ashley Davies.
