Chapter 15
"So where do you want me to be acting casual then?" Jamie asked as she paraded around the beach with her towel. Spencer thought it was a good idea to get there before she was supposed to meet Ashley so that she could plnt Jamie somewere without Ashley actually seeing.
"Erm...abort plan abort plan" Spencer whispered as she saw Ashley approaching with the girl from last night. Jamie tried her best to act casual but thinks she may have come off as retarded.
"Looks like you had the same plan" Ashley laughed as they got within hearing distance. Spencer couldn't help but laugh at the moment and also at Ashley's sister's face when she saw Jamie.
"Yep...this isn't weird at all" Spencer joked. Jamie wanted to run away because she felt bad for causing drama for this girl that she had only just met.
"Spence I'm gonna head off" Jamie announced.
"Really?where to?You have no idea where you are" Spencer pointed out. Jamie wanted to punch Spencer at this point for making her look like a bigger loser than she already felt.
"Well I can show you around the pier as a sorry for last night" Kyla offered much to Ashley's shock and obvious disapproval.
"Cool, see ya later Spence" Jamie said before either Spencer or Ashley could object.
"Is your sister even remotely gay?" Spencer had to ask.
"Not that I know of but I'm starting to doubt that at the moment with the way she's acting"
Both girls smiled at each other awkwardly hoping that the other would speak first to get rid of the weirdness. Spencer was convinced that she had lost the power of speech. She had never been on a semi date with a girl before and wasn't even sure if it was a date. Really she just wanted to tell Ashley how beautiful she looked in her board shorts and bikini top but her shyness stopped her.
"I'm gonna give you one get out of jail free card which you can use at any point if you wanna leave without causing offence..ok?" Ashley finally offered because she could tell that Spencer was nervous and she didn't want to keep the girl there against her will.
"I wanna be here Ashley I just don't know what here is"
"It's the beach" Ashley replied sarcstically hoping to calm Spencer.
"I didn't realise you were a comedienne" Spencer laughed back at her giving Ashley a little shove as they walked down the beach.
"How about we are just two people who want to get know each other whether it's as friends or more?" Ashley was trying her best to calm Spencer and this didn't go unnoticed by Spencer and she really appriciated that Ashley wasn't been pushy.
"Deal..so what do you want to do?"
"Well considering we are at the beach and we on in surfing turf I figured we could go surfing?" Ashley suggested.
"I don't know how to surf" Spencer's comment shocked Ashley and she feigned disgust."I'm orginally from Ohio we don't have surf there" Spencer tried to explain.
"Ok that's something new I have learned about you and in return I'm gonna teach your pastie ass how to surf"
"My ass is not pastie...ok maybe a little but in England and they don't have a summer there or at least they haven't since I moved there" Spencer was rambling now and she knew it but she always did when she was nervous.
"You're cute when you ramble Spencer Carlin. Let's go hire some boards.

Ashley had managed to get Spencer to paddle into the shallows so she could at least Spencer past knee deep in the sea. Ashley was a natural in the water as she had been surfing since she was a kid. Aiden had taught her how to surf when she 12 and she had been addicted since. She loved the feeling of just drifting on her board and often came surfing to think stuff over. She found it adorable how Spencer was practically clinging to her surf board even though they were only a few feet deep.
"Spence relax I won't let anything happen to you plus there are kids half your age surfing past us and it's shameful"
"I'm quite happy to watch you surf for a bit while I get used to this"
"You sure?" Ashley asked but she was already paddling out to the big waves. Spencer just sat on her board and watched as Ashley geared up to catch a wave. Spencer stared as she gracefully jumped up on her board and guided the board across the waves. Spencer also couldn't help but notice how incredible Ashley's body was, it was so toned and tanned. Spencer was distracted by a splash in the face.
"That's how it's done" Ashley shouted as she jumped off her board. She swam/walked over to Spencer's board. "Your turn blondie"
"You should go again..I'm taking mental notes" Spencer tried to make excuses but Ashley was having none of it so she flipped Spencer's surf board which made her fall into the ocean. Spencer bobbed back as she tried to flip her wet hair off her face. "That was not funny Ashley" Spencer snapped as she caught Ashley laughing. Spencer tried to storm off but this was proving difficult considering they were waist deep in water. Ashley took Spencer's hand in her own and stoped her from trying to walk off.
"I'm sorry Spence but I couldn't resist" Ashley said with a pout. Instead of responding Spencer jumped at Ashley and pulled her under the water. The two girl's were splashing around like children and they were loving it. Spencer had finally managed to control Ashley's flalling arms and pulled her in close. The two girl's lingered in each others prescence for a short while until Ashley finally closed the gap between them pressing her lips against Spencer a lot harder and wanting than the last kiss they shared. Spencer felt so comfortable kissing Ashley as if the ocean kept them in their own little bubble that nobody could penetrate because it was so vaste and so safe, Spencer wanted to stay there forever where there were no complications. They were rudely interrupted by a sudden down pour of rain. Spencer couldn't help but laugh at the random occurance. They grabbed the surfboards and ran for shore quickly giving the boards back to the surf shop. Ashley grabbed Spencer's hand and pulled her to her car so they could get some shelter dipping through the crowds of people also searching for the same thing. Ashley kept looking back at Spencer to make sure she was ok and the whole time she was just smiling and laughing.
