Tear Down The Stars Chapter 13
Spencer's P.O.V
So it's been about 3 hours since I left Ashley in the bathroom. I know she's okay because she text me calling me a tease and then asked if I would have lunch with her. Of course I said yes so that's where I'm heading right now. I'm hoping that spending the last few hours apart would have calmed down my hormones slightly otherwise lunch is going to be impossible. I had to leave the bathroom earlier otherwise my first time with Ashley would have happened in the girls' toilets after English Lit and as hot as that sounds I want it to be something special I guess. I know that Ashley will be worth the wait and not just because I've heard the stories about her conquests. I know it will be worth the wait because it will be with her and that's all I want. I have no idea how I have gone from full blown Ashley hater to the president of her fan club. I guess these things happen when you least expect them to and crushing on Ashley Davies was far from expected. The fact that she likes me back is an even bigger shock but I'm slowly learning to deal with it.
I spot Ashley sitting on her car and she looks incredible...there go those hormones again. She has her ray ban aviators on and she's sipping from a big gulp and she looks good doing it. I head over and she pats the bonnet of her car signalling me to join her so I do.
"I had a free period before so I went and grabbed some food for us. I remember you mentioning meat ball sub so here you go. If you don't like that I have a tuna one so I can swap or whatever" She's ranting and it's cute.
"Meat ball sub is good and thank you" I take the sandwich and open it up.
"I also got you a cherry big gulp. You always taste like cherries so I figured you must like them" I think my heart just skipped a tiny little bit when she said that. The fact that she noticed something so insignificant makes me like her even more than I already do. I don't think as I lean over and kiss her soft lips. It's light and short but it means more to both of us than any other kiss that we've shared. She looks slightly shocked as she pulls away and I don't blame her because I'm just as shocked as she is.
"Was that okay?" I ask her and she simply smiles at me.
Before she can reply I sense somebody stood in front of us so I reluctantly avert my eyes from Ashley and I am now looking at Carmen who I'm finding difficult to read.
"Hey Carmen what's up?" I try and act casual because I am assuming she probably just saw us kiss.
"I just wanted ask you something" She sounds a little hurt and I almost feel bad. I smile at Ashley before I hop off the car walking the short distance to Carmen. She smiles at me as I stand next to her and she seems more relaxed than before.
"Okay what did you want to ask?" I didn't mean to sound short but she has been crazy the past few times I've spoken to her.
"Well we haven't hung out much recently so I got you a present as a kind of sorry" She hands me an envelope which I look inside. Inside are two tickets to see Adele in concert on Saturday and I can't help but smile. I know how much she hates Adele so it's sweet that she has gone through the trouble for me. However, I am still trying to decide what to do with the information that Ashley gave me the other day.
"That's really sweet Carmen" I mean this but I'm also not sure that I can accept and this if for a number of reasons. First of all I know that Carmen wants more from me even if she hasn't said anything yet so I don't want to give her the wrong impression. Second of all I can't decide if I'm mad at her or not. I went through a lot to cover for her and it was all a stupid lie. My life at King could have been so different if I had not stuck up for Carmen. I could've been friends with Ashley or maybe more.
Flashback..
After Ashley came out at school everything became a lot easier so despite the name calling and all that when I first got here Ashley has actually helped me. After she came out she seemed different and for a while she short of disappeared off the face of the earth.
I'm sat in the library trying to catch up on some home work and also avoiding Carmen. We kind of shared a drunken kiss after a party over the weekend and it was too weird. I felt like I was kissing my sister but she seemed to be in to it which has freaked me out slightly. I'm pulled from my thoughts when I notice somebody stood next to my table. I look up and I see none other than Ashley Davies. I haven't really said two words to her since I covered for Carmen. I look at her and she looks sad like she has been crying. I can't help but feel bad for her even though she had been nothing but a bitch towards me.
"You okay?" I'm surprised by my own voice.
"Never been better" She snaps at me and I am so not in the mood.
"Look you came over here so don't act like a complete bitch towards me" I'm angry and she looks shocked by my aggression.
"Spencer right?" She asks me this and I can't help but scoff at her ignorance. At least know the name of the person you're bullying.
"I got used to dyke, lezzie, Ellen and many other super intelligent lesbian themed insults"
"You're feisty I like that" She tells me this like I should be complimented.
"You have no idea. Is there anything I can do for you?" I'm losing my patience now.
"Not right now I just needed to hide for a few minutes" She stands up but she's still looking at me like she is seeing me for the first time and I feel a little exposed but also weirdly attracted to her in that moment. I shake that thought from my tired mind and watch her leave. I smile to myself as I check out her ass.
I pull myself from my flashback and I smile at the memory. I must've forgotten about that years ago and I make a mental note to ask Ashley about it later. I focus my attention back on to Carmen and she's looking at me intensely then I see her eyeing Ashley. I laugh as I look at Ashley as well she is trying her best to act casual but I can see through her ray bans that she is staring at me intensely obviously aware of what the conversation is regarding.
"So what do you say Carlin?" She looks hopeful which I know won't last for long.
"I'm sorry Carm but I can't this weekend I already have plans" I don't have plans but I'm hoping that I will do and I am hoping that they are with Ashley.
"With her?" Carmen snaps as she looks over towards Ashley who is now looking at her phone.
"Erm no...well maybe I'm not sure"
"So you don't have plans?" Carmen looks confused and hurt.
"It's complicated Carmen"
"Looks pretty uncomplicated from here" She replies before storming off leaving the tickets with me. I'll give them back to her later once she's calmed down. I let out a sigh and turn to face Ashley who is smiling like an idiot.
"Who you got plans with Spencer?" She's teasing me and I don't mind.
"Some girl"
"Oh yea? She hot?"
"Extremely hot" I play along even though her ego really doesn't need it.
"What are you going to do with her?" Oh I have so many naughty replies to that question but I decide to keep it PG-13.
"Not a lot she's grounded"
"Bad times...maybe you could sneak into her bedroom" Ashley suggests and I can't help but laugh because I had considered that option over the weekend. I sit next to her on the car again and we find an easy silence.
"You didn't have to Carmen down you know" She means that as well.
"I have places I'd rather be"
"Where?" I see her hold in her breathe after asking the question in anticipation of my answer.
"Wherever you are" I don't look at her when I say this and she doesn't reply. She doesn't need to so we just enjoy the moment and eat the rest of our lunch without interruption.
The rest of the day went by with no Carmen interruptions. After finishing school we picked the twins and headed back to the Davies mansion. I was preparing a snack for the twins while Ashley disappeared up the stairs. It was hard to keep my hands to myself in front of them but I knew that I had to otherwise our cover would be blown. I know that it wouldn't go down well with Ashley's parents if they found out that there was something going on between us especially while we were still figuring things out ourselves. I hear foot steps coming down the stairs and into the kitchen. I wish in that moment that hadn't have looked up because the sight on front of me was breathe taking to say the least. Ashley was standing in front of me in her bikini, it was black with white stripes and it left very little to the imagination. I think I'm drooling and I know that I'm staring. She's left her hair down and it looks amazing all curly and wild. She smirks at me and I know she can read my mind.
"Ashwee are we going in the pool?" Taylor screams when he finally spots his sister in the door way. Before I know it they have both ran up the stairs to put on their own swim wear leaving me alone with their incredibly hot sister in her incredibly hot bikini. She saunters over to me and I don't take my eyes off her as she gets closer to me.
"Are you trying to kill me?" I ask realising that my throat is extremely dry.
"I have no idea what you're talking about" She's teasing me now and I would complain but I'm enjoying it far too much. She's now right next to me and it is taking everything in me not to touch her body which is harder than you can ever imagine because it is amazing for so many reasons.
"I'm sure you don't" I reply my eyes now looking into hers.
"Spencer...I can go get changed if this is too much for you" She whispers as she moves slightly closer. Oh God it just got really hot in here, like stupidly hot, I think I'm blushing. I really don't want her to change...ever.
"It's fine...you look nice" Wait to go Spencer...totally playing it cool. Who am I kidding? I have no idea how it happened but we're kissing again and I'm trying to keep my hands to myself but the temptation is too much. I run my hands down her exposed back and I feel her shiver under my touch. I don't think I have ever wanted somebody as much as I want her and it is driving me insane. I hear the footsteps on the stairs and I pull away. She looks at me in the sexiest way I have ever seen and I want her to look at me like that forever.
"I'm going to get changed" I stutter as I exit the kitchen. I know that her eyes are on me and I smile to myself as I grab my bag then I head up the stairs. I quickly get change and I consider taking a cold shower but I don't want Ashley to know just how worked up I am. I know that this revenge for the bathroom thing earlier and I don't mind at all. I just wish that I wasn't babysitting right now. I throw on my bikini and check out my reflection which I'm satisfied with. I'm no longer blushing and I look pretty good in my simple blue bikini. It's not as hot as Ashley's but I know that I look good in it.
When I get to the pool the 3 of them are splashing around having fun. I see Ashley in a completely different light when she is hanging with the twins. I don't just see the hot, irresistible Ashley, I see the kind hearted loving girl that makes me want to get to know her more. She spots me and visibly checks me out with a raised eyebrow which is one of her hotter expressions. I dive into the pool enjoying the cool water on my skin and I feel my body temperature returning to an almost number. As I surface I see that I am next to Ashley and she's smiling at me.
"Impressive dive"
"Thank you. Impressive outfit" I reply with a smirk before I splash her in the face. She looks at me for a moment before returning the favour and I can't help but laugh. Before I know it the twins are joining in and we're all laughing and having fun.
