Chapter 17
Ashley
I was sitting at one of the tables in the coffee shop waiting for Spencer to show up. After yesterday I thought about what she had said, and I started to understand her side more. She didn't trust me, and I know I gave her that reason. She thought I had cheated on her, and I never told her the truth. I know she will always question when I tell her things. Wondering if its the truth, and wondering what I haven't told her. I decided last night I would be completley honest with her, if that's what it will take.
"Hey sorry I am late" she said sitting down.
"All good, I got you a coffee"
"Thanks, I really need this"
"Rough day?" I asked taking a sip of my own coffee.
"Kinda. I'm dealing with record labels who are not listening to there clients"
"That sucks. I'm glad I am done with that scene"
"Not yet, you have one more show remember" I nodded.
"I really don't want to tho, I just want to fade out and not worry about anything"
"I know, but this will be good for you and your fans. Although if you really don't want to do it then don't. Its your choice" She reached over grabbing some of my muffin.
"I already agreed, and I'm sure you have already put work into it" Spencer just shrugged her shoulders.
"Nothing I can't just stop doing" I nodded.
"Anyways I thought about everything you said yesterday, and I understand what your saying."
"Okay"
"I don't want you to think I am hiding anything from you, or not telling you the truth. So you can ask me anything and I will tell you the truth" Spencer looked at me and nodded.
"Okay"
"Do you have any questions?"
"Kinda" I reached over grabbing her hand, she was playing with her cup.
"Ask Spence"
"You said you never stopped loving me, then why didn't you tell me the truth. Why didn't you fight for us?"
"Spencer the day I told you I cheated on you I know I broke you. I knew that there was nothing I could to get you to believe me. You were full of anger, and hate. I also was afraid that I would hurt you like that again. I heard you were happy, and successful in your career. I didn't want to ruin that for you Spencer"
"Why now?"
"I missed you, I missed us. We are married, and have a child together Spencer. We should be together. I'm tired of thinking of others, I want to be selfish for once. I want you back."
"I missed you too, and us" I smiled.
"Do you think we will stop fighting so much?"
"I hope, but I also think that maybe we should talk to someone" she laughed.
"Ashley I don't want to see a psych"
"Spencer this isn't just for our selfish reason, we need to do this for Riley."
"Fine, but I think paying someone to talk about our selves is useless. Besides you don't even like them either"
"Your right I don't, but I'm willing to try for my family"
"Okay"
"How about we talk about something less heavier now?" she smiled.
"Sounds good to me"
We sat there for awhile talking about our past, present and future. We shared slight smiles at each other, and even held hands. We hadn't been this civil in a very long time, it was a good feeling.
Few weeks later...
"Riley slow down" I said watching her run into the house, I had just picked her up from Kylas.
"Sorry mom, but I want to watch my new movie"
"Fine, but make sure your bedroom is cleaned up first"
"Okay"
Ring Ring
"Hello?"
"Hey"
"Hey Spence, I just got home from picking up Riley. We really need to get Kyla a child of her own" we both laughed.
"Nah they are both fond of each other, and I am happy Riley has her Aunt to talk to"
"Okay, but can we at lease tell Kyla to stop buying her stuff. We won't be able to get her anything for the holidays if this keeps up" as I picked up the books Kyla had bought Riley the other day.
"Oh boy, anyways the reason I'm calling is to ask you something"
"Okay?" The phone went quiet.
"Spencer?"
"I'm here, um will you come to Sunday night dinner?"
"At your parents?"
"Yes"
"Why"
"They asked me to ask you, and I also want you to come" We had been seeing a marriage counsellor, and slowly we have been working on taking baby steps with each other.
"Yes"
"What?"
"I said yes. I will be there"
"Great, Dinner is at 6. Riley sometimes spends the night there, so we could hang out alone if you want. That is if you want to..."
"Spencer"
"Yes?"
"I will see you tomorrow at 6, and yes I would love to hang out with you after"
