Chapter 5
Spencer and Jamie were heading over towards a breakfast van where they were supposed to be meeting Ashley to get the phone back. Spencer was incredibly nervous about seeing Ashley. She felt bad for running away last night with no explanation or reasoning for her actions. Spencer had happily kissed Ashley back and was trying to make sense of it all. She felt guilty for cheating on Holden but at the same time she was desperate to see Ashley again and she had no idea why. As they approached the van Spencer felt her stomach jump into her throat as she saw Ashley stood there looking straight at her/. Spencer scanned the girl admiring how good she looked in her little denim skirt and welly's. Spencer tried to push those thoughts to the back of her already over loaded mind. Jamie grabbed her arm as she caught sight of who she assumed was Ashley.
"Oh my god Spencer she is so fit. If you don't want her please let me have a go"
"You are such a dude Jamie" Spencer replied almost defensively. Spencer smiled shyly at Ashley as they got closer.
"Hey" Ashley said when they were in hearing distance.
"Hey Ashley" Spencer stopped directly in front her and the two girls' stood just looking at each other for what seemed like a life time. Jamie coughed to get their attention.
"Sorry this is Jamie. Jamie this is Ashley"
"Hi Jamie nice to meet you" Ashley replied quite dismissively. Ashley wasn't been rude she just wanted to talk to Spencer about what happened and just apologise so she didn't think that Ashley was some crazy predator.
"Right I've just remembered that I needed to piss so I'm going to do that. Spence you have your phone back now so ring me when you're done" Jamie said walking away not wanting to be around the strange vibes that were going on between her best friend and the other girl.
Spencer felt like killing Jamie for leaving she didn't know what to say or do or even how to act around Ashley. Ashley on the otherhand was relieved because now she could get things sorted with Spencer.
"Look Spencer I'm sorry about last night" Ashley finally said taking a seat around a table. Spencer followed suit as she thought about Ashley's apology. Did she regret kissing her?Or was she hurt by Spencer's reaction?Spencer couldn't think straight.
"You are?" Spencer asked.
"Yea...I mean I wanted to kiss you but I shouldn't have because you have boyfriend and you're obviously straight.."
"How am I obviously straight?" Spencer snapped not really knowing why.
"Well the whole boyfriend thing is a huge indication and the fact that when I kissed you it made you run away like a maniac"
Good point Spencer thought to herself.
"I shouldn't have kissed you back or led you on so I'm sorry"
"But you did kiss me back" Ashley replied a little bit annoyed. Spencer had her kissed her back and not just a little bit either they were actually full on making on.
"I was drunk" Spencer quickly answered and she knew it was a lie.
"Ok.Anyway...here's your phone I'm going" Ashley had had enough of playing games with a straight girl she had done this plenty of times before to know how the scenario ends. Ashley placed the phone on the table and started to walk off. She was hoping that Spencer would stop her but she didn't.
Spencer didn't know what to say to Ashley but she knew that she wanted to stop her from being mad at her so she got up to chase her but as she was getting closer to Ashley she was stopped by Holden walking in front of her.
"Where you running to blondie?" Holden asked as he pecked her cheek. Spencer wanted to push him out the way and chase Ashley but knew that staying with Holden was the right thing to do.
"Nowhere..I...I um...it doesn't matter. Where have you been?" Spencer replied as she watched Ashley walk further and further away.
"Just been checking everything out and looking for anyone that might be interested in the band" Spencer couldn't help but roll her eyes at his response mostly because she had heard so many times. Every gig they went to he was convinced that he would find some music person that would listen to their demo and automatically sign them.
"What was that look for?" Holden asked annoyed.
"Can't you just enjoy the festival?"
"Spence you know how important this band is to me and I know we re good enough to make it" Something else Spencer had heard a number of times and knew wasn't true.
"I know Holden but I haven't seen you at all so far this weekend and all you care about is your stupid band" Spencer snapped. She knew that she was picking a fight becase she wanted to get her frustration out about Ashley.She also knew that she was trying to make Holden feel bad so she didn't feel so gulity about last night.
"Stupid band?is that what you think?whatever Spence...enjoy your weekend" Holden snapped back as he walked off. Spencer didn't even consider chasing him because she knew that they would both forget why they were arguing and she would partake in some mediocre make up sex at some some point.
Spencer grabbed her phone and called Jamie.
"Alllrrriiitttteeee" Jamie shouted down the phone as she always did.
"I think I like her" was all Spencer said knowing that Jamie would understand.
"I knew it. I'm by the radio 1 tent you coming?"
"Yep be there in 5.Get me a drink" Spencer said as she closed her phone and headed over to the tent. Spencer spotted Jamie a mile off she was sat on the floor with a huge group of people which Spencer recognised from Uni.
"Carlin get your sweet ass over here and get drunk!!" Jamie yelled over the sound system. Spencer blushed as a few people in the crowd looked at her.
"Thank Jamie!" Spencer smirked as she sat down and grabbed her pint from Jamie. "Hey guys" Spencer said to nobody in paticular as she downed a good percentage of her pint.
"So you like her then?" Jamie asked.
Spencer she didn't reply she just nodded.
"Well my possibly gay friend I would first of all like to point out A how offended I am that you didn't go gay for me and B if you do decide that you actually do like guys then Ashley is fair game and C about fucking time" Jamie raised her glass " TO LESBIANS" she toasted as everybody in the group cheered. Spencer couldn't help but laugh.
"Thanks. Anyway what are we doing in the little tents I thought you wanted to see some of the bands on the main stage?"
"The good acts aren't on til tonight plus I am doing you a huge favour" Jamie said with a huge smile as she looked towards the stage. Spencer couldn't believe her eyes sat on a stool with an acoustic guitar was Ashley. Spencer knew at that exact moment that she definately liked the girl. She looked stunning underneath the stage lights and so vulnerable,almost nervous which wasn't a side of her that Spencer saw last night.
"You're welcome" Jamie whispered into Spencer's ear.
