Author's Note:
Just thought I'd share this with you guys. Guess what happened to me... I had a packet of Oreos stored away in the cupboard, saving them for when I really wanted them. I couldn't find them when I went to look for them the other night, and it turns out my granny decided to lift them and bring them to my aunt's house for my cousins. Damn them! Next time, they shall be well hidden...
Also, while I was typing this chapter up, a spider decided to scurry up the wall right beside me. I think I may have had a slight heart attack. No biggie though, I'm still here...
Anyway...
It's date night... Well this should be interesting...
Did someone say more jealous Spencer? :P
odunit, I have to say... I kind of hate friends like Casey too... But when you've been friends for such a long time, it's kind of hard to tell them to go sling their hook :P
TheDWall, I'mma pm you so I don't bore anyone else with boring educational nonsense haha

Chapter 11:
I'm the first one up today it seems, unless Spencer is lurking in some corner again...
I pour myself a glass of orange juice and make some toast as I sit at the kitchen table. This blackcurrent jam is actually pretty nice...
Spencer comes in soon after, making her own toast before sitting next to me.
"So this Mel girl... She's pretty attractive..." She looks at me from the corner of her eye, probably trying to gauge my reaction.
"Yeah, I guess... If you're into that sort of thing..."
"What 'thing' is that then? Hookers?" I snort then, almost spitting my juice out over the table.
I manage to contain myself and swallow the orange before wiping my mouth with some kitchen roll and clearing my throat.
"She's not a hooker, Spencer. I'm sure she's very nice." Well, I know Chase would agree that she's very nice even if she was a hooker... But she's not. Definitely not.
"I'm sure she is. What's with the hot pants though? Casey was showing me some pictures last night. Does she not own any piece of clothing that covers her bottom half?" I shrug.
"She's got good legs."
"Hmmm... They're a bit gangly..." They're not. Spencer's just trying to find some flaws in her.
"Morning!" Oh, good morning, Chase... "Time to get me some jam!" He makes his way over to the counter before putting some bread in the toaster. "What am I going to have today...? How about blackcurrent?" He reaches for the jar, smiling as he opens it. "Hey, this is already open. Who used this?" I shrug as Spencer points at me. "Ash!" Chase moans. "Come on! Now my jam?"
"Chase, there's plenty to go around. And hey, it's pretty nice; you're in for a treat!" I wink at him.
He frowns before turning his back on us to spread the jam on his toast. Aww, maybe I should stop stealing his food...
We're sitting at the table out the back having lunch as the kids play with the bubble machine Pam found in the basement. Casey turns to me as she takes a bite of her sandwich.
"So, Ash, I'm just wondering... what's the dress code for tonight? I mean are we dressing up or what?"
"I don't actually know... I guess I'll text Mel to find out." I see Spencer frown at this from the corner of my eye.
I decide to ignore the look Spencer is giving me right now, taking out my phone before sending a quick text.
Hey, just wondering... We still don't know where you're planning to take us tonight, so do we dress up? X
It doesn't take her long to reply.
Oh no, just casual. Don't worry, we're not going anywhere fancy. X
Casual. Okay I can do that.
Ok, no problem, we'll see you later. X
"So?" Casey looks at me expectantly.
"Just casual."
"Sweet. I wonder where we're going..." You and me both, Casey, you and me both.
"Probably to her place of work in the brothel..." Spencer mumbles this under her breath. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who heard though. Casey's too preoccupied with the peanut Chase has just flicked at her, and the others are deep in conversation.
I nudge Spencer in the side with my elbow, giving her a look, mouthing the words 'be nice' to her. She just rolls her eyes before going back to her sandwich.
At about seven o'clock, Casey, Spencer and I decide to get ready for tonight. Casey's using Dale and Annie's ensuite, whereas I use Pam and Rob's, leaving Spencer with the normal bathroom.
We got the kids washed early and the boys are getting them into bed as we work on making ourselves pretty.
So, since it's just casual wear, I decide on a simple pair of tight jeans and a nice top. I'm definitely not interested in Mel, but I want to at least make an effort...
Once I'm dressed, I spend some time doing my makeup nicely, before I'm ready to go downstairs.
When I reappear from Pam and Rob's room, Casey's on the landing waiting for me. I'm assuming Spencer's gone on downstairs as the bathroom seems to be free.
Casey holds her hand out to me in a closed fist.
"What?"
"Hold out your hand." I furrow by eyebrows as I do as she says.
When I hold my hand out, Casey drops something onto my palm.
"Fresh Mints?" I give her an amused grin.
"Well yeah... Got to be fresh if she wants a smooch..."
"Casey, there will be no smooching. It's a first date, and besides, I don't even want to kiss her; not now, not ever..." I go to hand her them back.
"Psssh, just take them, Ash. You never know."
"No, I don't want them. Take them back!" I try to slip them into her jean pocket, but she fights me off.
"No, I don't want them back! I don't need them! I don't even kiss Spencer anymore!" Well that's reassuring... Hurry up and break it off already!
"Casey, just take them back. Please."
"No. I'm giving them to my friend as a gift. I'd be insulted if you threw my generosity back in my face..." She folds her arms as she sulks.
I sigh before putting them into my pocket.
Brooke seems to have been startled by all the commotion. She appears on the landing with a quizzical, yet sleepy look on her face.
"Where are you going, Ash?"
"Umm... I'm just going out for some grown-up time with Spencer and Casey..."
"We're going with Ashley to meet a girl, Brooke." Casey whispers this loudly before giving Brooke a wink.
Brooke smiles then.
"Are you going to meet your Cinderella?"
"Pffft, Cinderella? More like Daisy Duke..." Casey mutters.
Brooke looks at Casey, confused.
"Who's Daisy Duke?"
"Uh..." Casey fumbles. "I meant... Daisy Duck... You know, the one with the nice dress and the pretty pink bow in her hair?" Brooke looks deep in thought for a second before her face lights up.
"Oh yeah! Like Hello Kitty! She has a pink bow too!"
"Yeah... Just like Hello Kitty..." Casey gives me a look as she shrugs. Mel is definitely not like Daisy duck or Hello Kitty, that's for sure...
I clear my throat before ushering Brooke back into the kids' room, not wanting anymore awkward questions brought up.
"Okay Brooke, let's get you back into bed..."
After getting Brooke settled, I join Casey and Spencer in the living room. And boy, does Spencer look hot... She's opted for skinny jeans and a nice dressy top too, and her makeup is done to perfection, her sparkly blue eye shadow working with her top to bring out her eyes. I do a double take as I see her, but calm myself enough to take a seat on the other sofa.
We chat quietly as I wait for Mel to text me. When I say 'we', I mean Casey and I. Spencer isn't very talkative tonight. I'm sure she's just excited... Ha, yeah, right! I bet she's getting ready to huff again...
It doesn't take long for Mel to text, letting me know she's outside.
"Okay guys, looks like our ride is here..."
We say our goodbyes to everyone as we make our way outside.
Holy shit, Casey must be a fucking psychic.
When we make our way through the front door, I'm not prepared for the sight we're greeted with.
Mel is leaning on a red Chevrolet as she waits for us, clad in denim hotpants and a red plaid shirt. I have to give her her dues though; the shirt isn't tied up quite like Daisy's, that's 'Duke', not 'Duck'. In fact, there are a couple of buttons done up and she has a white vest on underneath. Nice to see she still has a bit of modesty. Or maybe it's just too chilly... Whatever. Maybe her torso isn't as used to the cold as her legs are. I'm pretty sure she could go bare-legged right through the winter and they'd still be a relatively natural colour...Years of acclimatisation...
Casey gives me a knowing look.
"Well hey there, strangers!" Mel pulls me in as she greets me with a hug.
"Uh... Hey..."
Casey wiggles her eyebrows over Mel's shoulder as she hugs her too.
"Long time, no see, Casey."
"Yeah, I know... You look great, Mel."
"Thanks, so do you..." She turns to Spencer before holding out her hand. "And you must be Casey's girlfriend..."
"Spencer." Spencer throws her a fake smile before accepting her handshake and following Casey into the back.
Mel turns to me then.
"Isn't that a guy's name?"I just shrug as I get into the passenger's seat.
When Mel turns the engine on, Casey leans forward.
"So, where are we going?"
Mel drives in the direction of the shopping complex. Surely we can't actually be going on one of those stupid tours Casey was talking about...
When we park up and exit the car however, Mel leads us towards the bar. Oh hell, not the old man bar...
We make our way through the door before Mel turns to me.
"Don't worry, I'm not trying to get you drunk... Unless you want to get drunk, that is..." She gives me a flirty look.
Okay, she's actually pretty frightening. Don't get me wrong, she's an attractive girl, but she seems like a bit of a woman eater. Definitely not my type...
The look doesn't go unnoticed by Casey and Spencer. Casey gives me a subtle wink, whereas I catch Spencer clenching her jaw slightly as she averts her gaze.
"I figured we could come here and just talk, you know. Find out more about each other." Right. I make the decision right now not to drink. I have a feeling I may need to keep a clear head around this girl. Sure, she's sober seeing as she's driving, but I still wouldn't put anything past her...
Mel leads us to a table where we all sit down. I take this opportunity to get a good look at my surroundings. It's actually not as much of an old man's bar as I expected.
There are a few small tables scattered around the room with two pool tables on the far right, lit by dim lamps from up above. There are neon signs all around the walls, and above the long bar, at the end of which sits a crowd of strapping young chaps. I can see why they're sitting there... It seems the bartender for tonight has come in the form of an attractive young female. Definitely not an old man's bar...
The music is pretty decent too... I was expecting some cowboy hoedown music, but it's actually kind of modern. As long as they don't play Lady Gaga, we're good.
We get a round of drinks in; all soft drinks mind you; it doesn't look like anyone is letting their guard down tonight, before Mel turns to ask me a question.
"So Ashley, what do you do with yourself nowadays?"
"Uh, well... I studied music, and now I'm working at a little music store near my apartment. I do a few lessons too; guitar and piano."
"Well check you out..." She turns to Casey then. "I take it you guys live near each other then..."
"Well, no actually... We did for a while, but after I got my Business degree, I ended up getting a job a few hours away from Ash doing PR work."
"PR? And they're letting you off for how long?"
"A month... I have a few holidays saved up that I never took. I work pretty hard when I'm there, so it's all good." She nods at this before turning the spotlight on Spencer.
"And what about you? Don't tell me you're a rocket scientist..." Spencer looks quite uncomfortable at the prospect of having to answer Mel's question.
"Oh... Well, I'm hopefully going to go into teaching soon..."
"Teaching, huh? That's great! I work in a preschool myself! I'm with the kindergartens. I get some pretty interesting facts from them..." She's a preschool teacher? Well I hope she doesn't go to work dressed like that. It might be a tad inappropriate..
"Umm... Actually... I'm hoping to teach Literature in a high school environment..."
"Oh, Literature..." She looks a bit thrown by this. "I have a friend who teaches high school Literature. Not a lot of jobs going at the minute..." Oh dear; burned. Spencer does not look one bit happy at this. I think she may even hate her just a little..."But hey, I'm sure you'll find somewhere..." She reaches over to rub Spencer's arm. I'm sure I see Spencer flinch slightly before giving in and letting Mel touch her, throwing her another fake smile.
As the night goes on, I notice Mel getting slightly closer to me each time I turn my head to look at her. She seems to be laughing at everything I say too, throwing her head back with force. What I'm saying isn't even funny, and I'm pretty sure that laugh is fake.
Casey seems really taken with her though, smiling as she listens to Mel recall certain conversations she's had with the kids in work, and laughing at particularly entertaining aspects of her stories.
With the pair of them caught up in what seems to be another absolutely hilarious tale, I chance a glance at Spencer. She looks like she's having a hoot. Her head is resting in her left hand as her eyes are glued to the drink she's fiddling with with her right.
I kick her lightly under the table, trying to grasp her attention.
When she raises her gaze, I raise my eyebrows and give her a cheesy grin, hoping she'll cheer up. She just narrows her eyes at me before looking back down at her drink.
"How funny is that?" Mel is laughing with Casey, but she leans over and places her hand on my thigh. "Is that not one of the funniest things you've ever heard, Ash?" someone get me out of here right now...
"Uh, yeah..." I let out a fake chuckle. "So funny..." Spencer is glaring at me now. She sees how close Mel is sitting, and I'm guessing she's not oblivious to the location of Mel's hand. I really wish she'd move it...
Mel lifts her hand then. Praise the Lord, there is a God...
It seems like I've spoken too soon though, as she looks down to my crotch.
"What's that in your pocket?" Oh shit. The mints. God, Spencer's going to think they're actually mine... "Mints, huh? Someone looking to get some action?" Fuck.
I laugh nervously as Spencer's glare gets more intense.
Mel hands me the mints back before using her hand to play with my hair as she moves even closer to me.
"Your hair's so soft... Do you condition?" I look over to Spencer. She's absolutely furious. I'm pretty sure you would be able to see steam coming out of her ears if her hair was up. Lucky her blonde locks are covering them... "Oh... you have an eyelash... Let me get it..." She moves her face closer to mine as she uses her thumb to wipe the 'eyelash' off my cheek. I'm pretty sure there was no eyelash though. This girl is good. I clear my throat as she stops.
"Thanks..."
"No problem." She glances over to Casey then. "Oh, look at those two; all loved up."
I follow her gaze. Spencer has moved closer to Casey now and has her hand on her leg as she whispers something in her ear. Casey seems a bit perplexed though, as she leans slightly away from her as opposed to towards her.
Oh, I see what you're doing, Spencer. You think you're clever, do you?
"Aww... Yeah, they're so cute!" I muster up a fake smile as I make eye contact with Spencer. She sends me one back before cuddling into Casey. Again, Casey seems quite baffled by this, but nonetheless, gives in, letting Spencer grab her hand before swinging it over her shoulder.
I lean in to Mel to whisper in her ear, making sure Spencer is watching before I speak.
"I'm going to head to the bathroom. I'll be back soon." Mel nods as I get out of my chair, throwing a glare Spencer's way before making my way to my destination.
When I get to the bathroom, I stand at one of the sinks and stare at myself in the mirror.
"What are you doing?" I ask myself out loud.
What am I doing? I shouldn't be playing along with Mel. It's wrong. I can't play with her feelings... Even if she does seem slightly crazy... In fact, I definitely shouldn't be doing it, BECAUSE she's crazy. Who knows what she's capable of?
I squeeze my eyes tightly as I let out a sigh. When I open my eyes, Spencer is standing behind me.
"Spencer, seriously. You really should stop sneaking up on me like this..." I act uninterested as I proceed to wash my hands as if I hadn't been just standing there.
"What are you doing?" She asks.
I turn to face her.
"What do you mean what am I doing? What are you doing?" I raise my voice slightly, my anger and jealousy getting the better of me.
"I thought you said you weren't interested." Oh for the love of God...
"Spencer, we've been over this. I'm not."
"Well you seemed pretty interested out there." Jesus Christ...
"Oh yeah? Well you seemed pretty interested in Casey too. Although last time I checked, you were talking about breaking up with her. Weird how things can change so suddenly, huh?" I make a face as I ask the last part.
Spencer just stares at me before she shakes her head, jaw locked as she makes her way out of the bathroom. That wasn't too harsh, was it? Shit.
When I make my way back to the table, Spencer seems upset. She's no longer sitting incredibly close to Casey. In fact, there seems to be more space between them now than when we first came in... Casey doesn't seem to notice though as she's engaged in conversation with Mel.
I sit down and look at Spencer, trying to get her to look at me so I can try to apologise with my eyes, but she isn't budging.
"Oh my God!" Mel blurts out suddenly. "I love this song!" You have got to be shitting me. Nicki Minaj? Seriously?
Casey's eyes light up at this.
"Me too!"
"Let's dance! Come on, Ashley!"
"Yeah, come on, Spence!"
I look at Casey as I make my excuse.
"Casey... You know how I feel about Nicki Minaj."
"Meh, you don't know good music... Spence?" We all look towards Spencer as Casey asks.
"No, sorry. I'm not feeling great. It must have been something I ate earlier..."
"Okay... You sure you won't dance, Ash?"
"I'm sure. You two go have fun." The pair of them make their way towards the makeshift dance floor made by some of the punters who have just moved a few tables around to clear a space.
"Spencer?" She doesn't look up. "Spence..." I reach out to touch her shoulder, but she flinches away. "Spencer, I didn't mean it; I was angry. I know you don't like Casey like that, and I promise you, I don't like Mel like that either. Please, just... Just look at me, okay?" Still nothing. I guess she's stubborn too...
I give up and end up sitting in silence as I wait for Casey and Mel to return from the 'dance floor'.
We continue chatting for about ten minutes before Casey turns to Spencer, realising that she's been unusually quiet.
"You okay, Spence? You haven't said a word since we came back..."
"You know what... I don't think I am. I think I maybe need to go home." Right. Call it a night early, so we all have to go home and Mel won't be able to try anything else. Clever. I can't say I'm complaining though. Mel is pretty intense.
"Oh, that's not a problem. I'll drop you guys off now..." That's very kind of you Mel. Thank you. She leans in to me as Casey and Spencer are getting up. "Don't worry, we can drop these guys off and go for a drive. Sound good?" Uh, hell no...
"Uh... Sure..." Oh Ashley, you're such a pussy. Just say no.
"Great!" She makes her way to the door, the three of us following behind.
What have I just done?
The drive home is quite awkward. Well, I think it is anyway. Casey and Mel chat away between themselves, but you could cut the tension between Spencer and I with a knife.
When we get back to the house, Casey and Spencer exit the car, Spencer looking expectantly at me.
"Aren't you coming?" Oh, she's talking to me again now? That's a start... Shit though; I've agreed to go for a 'drive' with Mel...
I look at Spencer before looking back at Mel. What do I say?
Mel clears her throat.
"Actually, before we left the bar, I asked Ashley if she'd like to go for a drive with me..."
"Are you going for one?" She raises her eyebrows. What a diva. Yes, Spencer, I'm going. Don't look at me like that; I'm a coward. Plus, Mel scares me slightly...
Casey turns to Spencer then.
"Come on, Spence, let's leave them to it." She turns to look at me then. "We know when we're not wanted..." There's a cheeky wink thrown in as Casey ushers Spencer into the house.
Mel breaks the silence in the car.
"Well... shall we?"
I watch as Spencer follows Casey into the house, keeping my gaze locked onto the closed door until it's no longer in my sight.
We end up driving up to a viewpoint at the top of a hill that overlooks the pier. It's a beautiful view, but I'm slightly scared. What if she tries something on with me? I doubt there are many people around to help if she gets a little forceful.
I fiddle with my hands as I pluck up the courage to make my own confession...
"Umm... Mel? There's something I should tell you."
"Yeah?" She turns to me.
"You're a great girl and all, but I just... I wouldn't feel right if I didn't tell you..." She keeps looking at me, staying silent as her eyes urge me to continue. "I'm... I'm kind of interested in someone else. I'm sorry, Mel; I can't be with you..."
She seems surprisingly calm...
"Ashley, it's okay. Truth be told, I'm kind of interested in someone else too..."
"You are?" Jeez, I never would have guessed the way she was acting back there... I wonder what she acts like around the object of her affection...
"Yeah. Can I ask you something?" I nod. "It's Spencer, right?" What?
"What?"
"I saw the way you two were looking at each other..." Well shit.
"You did?" I panic slightly.
"Yeah. Look, don't worry about it, I won't tell Casey. You said yourself you don't think it'll last much longer... If they break up, it won't be so bad, right?"
"I guess... So... We're cool?" She chuckles at this before nodding.
"We're cool. Hey, want to go to the park?"
I didn't know that there's a park nearby. It definitely wasn't here the last time I came to the house. It's actually pretty close to the little shopping complex, only about ten minutes up the road. I also didn't believe Mel when she told me there was an ice cream parlour right beside it. Apparently it hasn't got the greatest selection, and it closed a few hours ago, but still...
I make a note to tell the others about this new little spot; I'm sure the kids will appreciate it, as we park the car up.
We spend a good half hour just acting like big kids, climbing all over the climbing frame, going up and down the slides, playing on the see-saw, and spinning around in the roundabout. It's actually a lot of fun. Mel is acting like a totally different person than the one back at the bar. It's pretty weird, but actually kind of nice...
When we start to get tired, we make our way over to the swings, swaying gently as we take in the sea view at night.
"You know, I've always wondered... See that cliff over there?" I look over to where Mel is pointing. It's pretty high up, with a few ominous looking rocks poking out from the surface of the water beneath it.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think people go cliff diving there? A few of the guys who've tried it on with me claim they go there all the time, but I think it's bullshit. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to jump off there without smashing your skull. There's no way anyone could clear those rocks..." I chuckle at this. I can tell by the look on her face that she's serious, and she's actually trying to work it out in her head. "What?"
"You know, you're actually pretty cool." I smile at her.
"Well gee, thanks. You're pretty cool yourself, Davies." She smirks back at me, before her face turns serious again. "But seriously... Do you think you could survive after a fall like that?"
"I don't know... Maybe you should try it out..." She gives me an unamused look.
"Oh ha ha, how about you try it?"
"Are you kidding me? And risk damaging this face?" I point to my face. "I think I'll pass, thanks!" We both laugh then, falling into a comfortable silence.
After a couple of minutes, the silence is broken by Mel's voice.
"Come on then. I better get you home. It's past twelve already. Everyone will be thinking we've been getting busy." She winks at me.
If she'd have said something like this earlier in the bar, I probably would have cringed before excusing myself as I try to escape through the bathroom window or something, but after spending time with her, I realise it's just her sense of humour. So instead, I chuckle.
"Sure. Although to be honest, I kind of don't want the night to end yet... Is that weird?" It's the truth. I've had a great time. I'd rather stay out here with Mel than go back to the house and put up with a moody Spencer...
"Listen to you, you charmer!" She laughs. "No, I get it. It's been nice. We should hang out again sometime. You know, as friends. I totally don't like you like that. Just saying. You know, I wouldn't want to lead you on or anything..." Listen to her, being all playful. "But you're cool. I could totally see us hanging out."
"Sure. Friends." I smile before getting up and holding my hand out for her as I pull her up off the swing. "Come on then, buddy, you've got to get me home..."
When Mel drops me off, it's just gone half twelve. Everyone has gone to bed except Casey and Spencer, who are sitting at the table in the kitchen playing Scrabble.
Spencer looks like she's losing the will to live, whereas Casey is totally immersed in the game.
When I enter the room, both of them look up, Casey with a cheesy grin and Spencer with a scowl. Uh-oh, someone looks grumpy.
"Okay, give me five minutes! I need to use the bathroom, but I'll be back! I want every detail!" Well Casey seems excited...
I pour myself a glass of water as I take a seat at the table, but not too close to Spencer; she seems pretty pissed.
There's an awkward silence for a few seconds. Spencer is resting her head on her hand now, looking down at the table her elbow rests on.
"So, that bar is actually quite nice, huh?" I try to make conversation.
Spencer doesn't raise her head. Her eyes catch mine as she gives me a dirty look though.
"I'm not talking to you." With that, she gets up from the table and leaves.
"Sweet dreams!" I call after her, but get no reply. "Well goodnight then..." I mutter under my breath.
Just then, Casey returns.
"Hey, where'd Spencer go? I thought we were finishing off this last game..."
"Oh, she went on up to bed. Said she's pretty tired."
"Oh, okay... Must be the tablets I gave her earlier for her stomach..." Yeah, I guarantee you those tablets are now in the bin. She was feeling fine earlier. "So... How did it go?"
"It went good." I smile.
"Good? Like good good, or 'good' good?" She wiggles her eyebrows as she says the latter.
"I don't think I'm following you..." My eyes narrow as I stare at her, confused.
Casey sighs as she expands.
"Well, did you kiss her?"
"No."
"No?" She looks at me in disbelief.
"No. We both agreed that we would be better off as friends. She's pretty cool actually... But she's into someone else."
"She is? Man, the lucky sod..."
"Yeah... Well anyway, I'm going to hit the hay now." I rinse my glass out before making my way to the door. "Don't wake me up in the morning, okay?" I point at Casey, who raises her hands up.
"Hey, I wasn't planning to. I'm pretty tired myself. I could do with a lie in..." I narrow my eyes at her as I stand in the doorway.
"Alright... Goodnight."
"Night, Ash."
As I get ready for bed, I mull over the day's events in my head. Date night wasn't so bad actually... Well, after we left Casey and Spencer off. Things were pretty awkward up until that point, though I'm confident after tonight that Mel and I will make great friends. I wonder who she's interested in...
Soon enough, when I'm tucked up in bed, my mind drifts off to Spencer. I wonder how long she plans on ignoring me? Meh, I'm too tired to dwell on this tonight. I'm sure she'll have forgotten by the morning...
.
.
.
.
A/N – Uh-oh... Looks like someone's getting the silent treatment... Surely Spencer can't keep it up for long, can she?
This chapter was definitely one of my favourites to write, particularly the section where the girls are at the table in the bar... Drama! Drama! Haha
Let me know what you guys think! See you next time! ;)
