Chapter 10

"Come on Aiden I don't ask you for much" Spencer whined. Ashley and Spencer had explained their plan to Aiden but he was slightly concerned about getting involved.

"Yes you do"

"Ok,ok I do but this will benefit you too"

"How will any of this benefit me?"

"You get be the love interest of a rock star"

"Yea for how long though?"

"I dunno a few weeks or something. Look Aiden I am actually begging you"

"Plus you'll get an all expenses paid trip to Mexico this weekend" Ashley added.

"So now I'm a gigolo?"

"Of sorts, yes"

"Ok I'll do it but if it back fires I'm claiming ignorance"

"That's fine"

"Ok deal...where do we start?" Aiden replied with a huge smile as both girls hugged him.

"We start with leaving for Mexico asap"

"And I have booked the tickets online already so we just need to get to the airport" Spencer filled them both in.

"You knew I'd say yes didn't you?"

"Of course I did Aiden..I know you too well. Now go pack and we'll leave in 20 minutes"

Aiden sulked off to his bedroom to go pack. Spencer was excited that they had so far managed to get their little plan to work. She had her reservations but was happy to give anything a chance in order to help both Ashley and Glenn. Plus she got to spend some of the weekend in Mexico with Ashley. Spencer had one last thing to do before they left for the airport which she had meant to do as soon as she psoke to Glenn but knew that she had bigger things to deal with and to cover up. Spencer grabbed her cell phone and sent a text to the bitch that had caused all this drama.

COLBY: Hey just wanted to say thanks for the free press and the cheap thrills. Hope you didn't mind the one night stand but just wanted to check that I didn't like and I was right so yay Sx

"Are you sure about this?" Ashley asked with a very concerned look on her face.

"Of course I am. I mean I owe Glenn so he doesn't lose his job and plus I want to see how this whole 'friends' thing works with you"

"How's that working for you so far?" Ashley asked as she slowly approached Spencer playing with the tassles on her hoodie.

"Not too bad...could be better"

"How so?"

"We could just send Aiden to Mexico and spend the weekend locked in my apartment..you know being friends" Spencer suggested with a raised eyebrow.

"I think that would defeat the object of this whole plan"

"I thought it was the object of this plan?"

"Here's me thinking you just wanted to help your brother?"

"I do but there's no harm in getting a few kicks along the way"

"Guess you'll just have to see what my boyfriend says" Ashley laughed as Aiden walked into the room with his bag packed and full beach outfit on including bright board shorts, loud t-shirt and flip-flops.

"Ok first of all Aiden you look more my crazy uncle than my new boyfriend" Ashley explained as she headedinto his bedroom searching for appropriate attire.

"We're going on holiday and this is what I'd wear"

"Not anymore apparently" Spencer giggled. Ashley reappeared with a pair of baggy jeans and white vest which she threw at Aiden.

"Put these on and burn those shorts while you're at it"

"I don't think I like you anymore"

"Cry me a river now get changed so we can start this dibacle"

Once again Aiden went into his room to get changed. This time he came out looking the part which made Ashley happy.

"Great now put these on and we're done" Ashley said this time throwing a pair of aviator sunglasses at him which he dutifully put on.

"Happy now honey?"

"Estactic lover. Now when we get to the airport you need to hold my hand the whole way while trying to protect me from the paps. Spence you obviously need to follow us but kep your distance and pretend to be on your cell or something while trying to avoid being in any pictures" Ashley demanded as if she were an officer in the army or something weird like that.

"Yes ma'm" Spencer replied doing a salute which got an evil look from Ashley who Spencer thought was taking this far too seriously.

"Let's go then"Aiden said as he grabbed Ashley's hand and the bag he had packed. Spencer grabbed her bag and the passports from the counter while trying to get into the role of the perfect PA which she hadn't really done yet.

As the car pulled up outside the drop off area at the airport Ashley felt a huge wave of nerves hit her. She hoped that this plan worked because she had worked so hard to get her record deal and had lost a lot of things in order to get there so she was determined not to mess it up now. She was also worried that Spencer and Aiden weren't quite ready for this and that she was really throwing them in at the deep end.

"You ready guys?" She asked nobody inpaticular.

"I'll get out and open the door then I'll just follow you..we've been over this a hundred times now Ashley don't worry" Spencer reassured her with a careful smile which she extended to Aiden aswell.

Spencer climbed out the car to what seemed like a seamless crowd of paparrazi who were clicking frantically until they realised that Spencer was nobody important but as soon as she opened the back door they went into a photo taking frenzy. Aiden did as instructed and took control of the handholding. He carefully pulled Ashley through the crowd of yelling photographers and protected her from any over zealous paps. They were screaming for Ashley to tell them who Aiden was but she kept her mouth shut to keep up with the facade. Spencer waited for them to enter the airport and followed in with the a trolley which had the bags on it. She watched in amazement and Ashley seemed completely unfazed by the attention and for the first time since they met she saw Ashley as the singer not Ashley the girl who nearly ran her off the road when they first met. Luckily the airport security gave them a quick pass into the 1st class lounge which gave them the chance to recoup. As soon as the door closed and they knew they were alone Aiden and Ashley parted.

"Fuck that was insane Ashley..how do you deal with that all the time?" Aiden asked as he tried to get his head around what had just happened.

"Trust me I don't deal with it"

"Well you seemed to" Spencer offered with a smile.

"Thanks for getting this all arranged Spence" Ashley said.

"It's my job" Spencer responded in low spirits realising that she was going to be spending the whole weekend trailing behind Aiden and Ashley. She knew that she wasn't jealous but she hadn't really thought this plan through because in her head she had loads of alone time with Ashley but now she knew that would never be the case.

"Well thank you" Ashley replied picking up on Spencer's lowered tone.

"We better get on the plane before it jets off without us. You two have seats together in first class and I'm in coach" Spencer explained handing out the tickets.

"Woah why are you in coach?" Ashley asked rather confused.

"I just thought it would make sense incase anybody on the plane got too nosy"

"You didn't have to do that Spencer"

"Yea Spence you have my seat" Aiden offered noticing that his best friend seemed a bit bummed out

"Guys we have to keep this real otheriwse it won't work. It's cool I have my ipod and laptop so don't worry"

"LAST CALL FOR ALL PASSENGERS ON FLIGHT 112288B TO CANCUN PLEASE BOARD NOW" The voice over the speakers announced.

"Let's go" Spencer grabbed her laptop bag and handed over her ticket with the other two following. She was taken to her seat by the airhostess and made herself comfortable for the journey. Spencer thought to herself that she should get used to spending her time alone this weekend as Ashley and Aiden would be posing all over the villa for the paps that will apparently be stalking the villa. But she couldn't really complain as it was her own stupid idea so ressured herself as to why she was doing this and hoped that her nice attitude would be rewarded in some way or at least noticed.

"Do you think Spence is ok?" Ashley asked as she fidgetted in her seat.

"I'm sure she'll be fine"

"Maybe I should go check on her?"

"I don't think that battleaxe of a stewardess will let you leave the area"

"Yea she scares me but I'm just worried"

"Why you so worried?"

"Because this is all a little unfair on her. I know that nothing is really going on between me and Spencer but I just don't want to hurt her"

"You guys are going to have this whole weekend to hang out and see what's happening between you. I know that it sucks for Spencer but it might be a good thing?"

"How will this be a good thing?"

"Sometimes Spencer takes some encouragement to accept or deal with her feelings so I think that if she finally sees that she has a jealous side then maybe she will admit that she isn't dead on the inside. I know that she is trying but I don't think she believes it just yet" Aiden explained hoping to give Ashley a better insight into his best friend and also hoping to help Spencer.

"I know that she isn't dead on the inside"

"But she thinks that she is"

"Because of Colby?"

"I can't say but I'm sure she'll tell you in her own time"

Ashley didn't ask anymore questions because she knew Aiden was right. She knew that Spencer will tell her everything when she wants to and she didn't want to push her because she knew that she was holding things back from Spencer herself.
