Chapter 19
"Please tell me you are not sneaking out of Aiden's room?" Ashley asked as she saw kyla try to sneak past her as she sat by the pool playing guitar.
"Ok it's weird that you can sense me"
"Does he know you're leaving?"
"Yea it was just some holiday fun"
"Ok just be careful"
"Says the queen of holiday fun"
"And what is that supposed to mean?"
"Exactly what it sounds like Ash. You cannot judge me when the only reason you even used to go on holiday was for the holiday fun. At least I have the decency to sneak out rather than having Aiden escorted from the property"
"Ok that was once and that was ages ago"
"It was 2 months ago Ashley"
"I thought you wanted me and Spencer together?"
"I do I think she is great for you but I still have my concerns"
"About my singing?"
"No about your lack of attention span when it comes to relationships"
"Seriously I know I can handle this Ky"
"Ok I believe you. Ok I need to go back to my apartment so we can head back to L.A"
"Cool, we're heading back today so I'll see you at home and I mean that this time"
"I was busy last semester"
"No you were in avoidence and it's ok I get it"
"See you at home big sister" Kyla kissed Ashley on the head and skipped out of the little gated villa. Ashley went back to her guitar and played a few random chords which soothed her as her head started to get over run with scenarios which included her hurting Spencer or vice versa. She mentally kicked herself for dooming the relationship before it had even really started but this was something that Ashley did. To vent her frustration she started singing and playing so that her mind would go blank. Her voice floated through the garden with a raspy undertone and innocent spark, the chords that she chose were incredibly complimentary to her singing style and the song she was singing.
"why'd you look at me that way?" Ashley sung as she strummed the final note dropping her guitar to the ground as if she never wanted to touch it again.
"That was beautiful" The soft voice from behind Ashley startled her so much that she jumped and dropped her guitar completely into the pool. Ashley didn't automatically react to th drowning of the guitar but instead she tried to figure out who this dark haired girl with the green eyes was in her garden.
"Who are you?" Ashley asked standing up and walking towards the girl.
"Sorry to scare"
"Don't worry" The girl walked a bit closer to Ashley as they studied each other.
"My names Jamie I'm meant to be staying here for the next few days and I'm guessing that you guys weren't aware of the kick out times?"
"Apparently not I'll have to talk to my PA about that. I'll get everyone out asap" Ashley replied as she walked off to wake up Spencer and Aiden but the Jamie touched her arm lightly and stopped her.
"Hey there's no hurry....I might be early anyway. Plus I was enjoying the entertainment" Jamie said as she looked over regretfully at the guitar floating in the pool.
"I should probably get that" Ashley announced as she edged towards the pool trying to avoid any eye contact with Jamie because she knew that she was attracted to her. Before Ashley reached the pool Jamie stripped down to her bikini and dived into the pool garbbing the guitar and bringing it back to Ashley. Ashley couldn't deny her eyes the pleasure of finally looking at Jamies perfectly toned body which was dripping with pool water causing her whole body to glisten under the sun. Ashley used all of her power and self control not to act on her impulses but it was becoming increasingly difficult consdering just how hot and obviously interested Jamie was.
"Thanks....for getting my guitar but it's probably fucked now anyway"
"Lucky guitar" Jamie leaned in and whispered the comment into Ashley's ear causing her to almost explose inside especially when Jamie let her lips linger slightly longer and even closer to Ashley's neck than needed. Ashley swallowed hard and the reckless side of her wanted to take advantage of this girl stood practically naked in front of her but she also didn't want to ruin what she had with Spencer so she pulled away before anything happened but it was too late. Ashley turned to walk away only to see Spencer stood only a few feet away from her and Jamie. Ashley immediately noticed the look of pure hurt and sadness in Spencer's eyes.
"Spencer it's not how it looks" Ashley threw out the cliche knowing that it would make no difference because it wasn't true.
"You know what....just forget it Ash. I don't know who you are but you can have her" Spencer calmly responded aiming the last part of the comment towards Jamie. Spencer didn't wait for Ashley to beg or to make excuses she just walked off back to her room so that she could pack and get back to her life where things hurt but not nearly this much.
"Fuck...fuck...fuck" Ashley screamed dropping the guitar on the ground this time with more haste and anger.
"Is that your girlfriend?" Jamie asked almost looking pleased with herself.
"She was...look can you come back once we've left?" Ashley asked trying to be polite because all this was her own fault because at any point she could've just walked away.
"I could just stick around..you know have a little bit of fun?" Jamie offered running her finger down Ashley's stomach.
"Really not I'm sorry but I need to sort this out with Spence I think I love her"
"Didn't seem that way to me"
"Well I think I do because that look in her eyes broke my heart over and over"
Ashley soon followed Spencer but only to have the door slammed in her face and rightly so Ashley thought to herself. Aiden had obviously heard the door slamming and stumbled out of his bedroom to see what was going on only to see Ashley sat on the floor outside of Spencer's door banging on it.
"What the hell is going on?"
"I fucked up" Ashley responded.
"How?"
Ashley didn't reply she just diverted Aiden's eyes towards the pool where Jamie was still stood on her cell phone.
"Ashley why would you do that to Spencer?"
"I didn't but it looked like I did"
"That sounds like a backwards version of you did"
"I swear I didn't do anything" Ashley lost her balance as the door from behind her was pulled open abrutly causing her to fall to the ground. Before she could even sit up Spencer had climbed over her and headed towards the living room where she started collecting up all her things. Ashley got up and tried to stop Spencer from pacing but the look in Spencer's eyes made her back off.
"At least let me argue my side"
"I would rather not thank you"
"Please Spence"
"I'm leaving now there's a car outside for me. There will be a car for you and Aiden in 2 hours so you have plenty of time to say goodbye your new friend. Have fun guys" Spencer said with a fake smile that didn't hide her heartbreak in the slightest. Spencer casually exited the villa without another word or even a last glance at Aiden or Ashley.
"I can't believe she's left without me" Aiden whined.
"At least she'll talk to you when we eventually get home" Ashley snapped.
"Boo frickin hoo Ash!!!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means that you must've done something bad for Spence to react like that"
"I didn't do anything....do people really think I'm that bad?"
"Look Ash even if you didn't fuck the girl Spencer must've thought that the intention was there because otherwise she would give you the benefit of the doubt,trust me but she doesn't do cheats especially after what happened with Colby"
"Ok maybe the thought almost, barely crossed my mind but I didn't lay a finger on her..I swear"
"Why's she still in the pool?" Aiden asked angrily as he stormed off to his room to grab his stuff so he could get home and be there for Spencer.
Ashley didn't know what else to do so in true Ashley style she walked over to the pool where Jamie was signalled for her to get out. Ashley walkedstraight up to her with every intention to kiss her so she could live to the low expectations that every body has of her but she stopped herself before she did it as if something had just clicked inside her that made her want to be better now.
"Can you leave now" was all Ashley said as she walked back into the villa to pack.
