All over You by The Still Canvas
Theres a line between crazy and insane, a thin one at that but its easy to cross when the worlds biggest diva is going to be out to dinner with you parents, siblings, and best friends. I think Aiden is about to piss himself he's so scared and he didn't even meet her. His younger sister is a HUGE Ashley Davies fan, like shrine in her room obsessed. This just can't possibly end well.
"She just invited the girl over?" Max asked, his face twisted with disgust. He had this think about being polite, it was his biggest pet peeve, even though he isn't always so polite to me. 'Rude much?" He said, pushing his hair out of his eyes. I nodded and glanced at the clock, 5:40, shit. I pulled on a dark denim skirt and a blue blouse over my white tank top. "Ooo Spencey you look pretty." Maxi said with a smile, looking me over.
"Thanks sweetie." I replied and ruffled his hair, making him scoff and run off into my bathroom. I sighed and made sure my hair was still straight before grabbing my purse and knocking on Aiden's door. "Come on Aid, Ashley is gonna be here soon and I told my brother's to meet us at the restaurant at six fifteenish." I walked away and his door opened.
"Ohh Aiden if you were gay I'd be all over your ass." Maxi said and I laughed, Aiden's expression was nothing short of uncomfortable. The tension was cut by the door bell. I froze, I hoped to whatever all powerful being maybe be up there she was the kind Ashley from the beach. I opened the door and before me was a beautiful sight, to be honest. Her hair had the most perfect curls to it, her skin was tanner than it had been last night, she wore a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a white tank top with a black vest over top. A pair of black converse brought it together.
"Wow…" I whispered under my breath, she cracked a smile. It was the good witch for now.
"Hey Spencer." She said, waving swiftly.
"Hey Ashley." I replied, grabbing my purse off the chair nearest to the door. "We'll take my car over, the restaurants only a few minutes away." I said, stepping out the door. I introduced her to Maxi and Aiden, and she said she was sorry about Jenna, the way she thrusted Ashley into their plans.
"She can be a bit forceful, but she thought you were cute and she was jealous of me, so she was rude. Shes just like that." Ashley explained as I made the boys get in the back of my Jetta. I tried not to laugh, Jenna wasn't half as bad as the beautiful rock star next to me, with the rudeness that is. I drove to Eddie's (the restaurant) with little talking, except for Maxi's comments on my driving skills. Upon arriving I saw Glen's car parked in the handicapped spot, I had to smile. He'd injured his leg years ago and he milked it for every perk he could. We walked to the door and Ashley held it open for me. I couldn't help but enjoy her sweet side. I walked to the back room, our usual gathering place and found Glen, Clay, Chelsea, and my nephew Trey. They stood as we entered and hugged me tightly. I picked up Trey and he clung to me like a five year old monkey.
"Holy shit you're Ashley Davies." My eldest brother so eloquently announced. She chuckled, and I saw the spark in her eye, it might be the start of the end….
"Right, Ashley this is my big brothers Glen and Clay. And this is Clay's wife Chelsea and their son Trey." I introduced, Glen was drooling.
"I've been to like four of your concerts, plus I have your Rolling Stones cover blown up on my wall." Glen said, and I nearly vomited. I watched the wheels turn in his head a moment and then he looked at me, suspicion on his face. "Your DATING Ashley Davies!" He could barely control himself. He was still a fifteen year old boy at heart, leaving at home and everything.
"She sure is. She's damn lucky too." Ashley replied, sliding her arm around my waist and pulling me against her hip. I smiled as genuinely as I could and left Glen to question her. I sat down with my favorite brother and three best friends at the table.
"So where are mom and dad?" I asked. I could hear Glen asking Ashley something about if she had any hot friends and I rolled my eyes.
"And my family. My parents aren't much for being late." Aiden added.
"They had to stop for gas half way here. And last I heard only your sister was coming up Aid. Carmen babysat for us two night ago and she said they weren't coming up." Clay said and Aiden's face for solemn, this is the third time his parents have missed dinner with us. They didn't approve of his job. After he gave up a basketball scholarship his dad never gave him the same respect.
"Sorry Aid." Maxi said, rubbing his back ad Trey climbed from me and hugged Aiden.
"Uncle Aid it okay.' He said and Aiden laughed. Trey considered us all family. Ashley finally finished with my brother and took a seat next to me. As if on cue there was a shriek behind us and we all turned to see Carmen, Aiden's sixteen year old sister, with a love struck look on her face.
"Carmen, don't." Aiden and I warned in unison. She stepped forward, towards Ashley. "Carmen…." I said sternly. I knew what was about to happen, and it wasn't gonna end well. She didn't listen and ran forward, arms engulfing Ashley in the craziest hug I've ever seen in my life. Ashley seemed use to the it but still concerned for her life.
"Do you mind not touching me? That'd be great thanks." She said rudely and Carmen pulled back, her eyes still happy as could be.
"I love you." She said, staring at Ashley like she was a piece of meat.
"Most woman do, I'm fucking fantastic." She said like it was something she heard far to often. Behind Carmen's predator like staring, my parent's walked in and I smiled, standing to hug them.
"Mom, dad, this is my…" I cringed slightly. "My girlfriend, Ashley." Ashley stood and shook my parent's hands, they watched her warily. They felt betrayed, I could tell. They were usually firsts on the list to tell when I was dating someone new.
"Nice to meet you Ashley." Dad said and they sat next to Maxi and Chelsea, my mom taking over Trey, grandma was is favorite.
"So can I get everyone drinks?" the waitress entered.
"Yeah, ill take a White Russian, only one eighth cream, I wanna actually take my liquor." Ashley said, her tone not very kind….and so the night began.
