Happy campers

Chapter 18 – Let's talk

I was on my way towards the main cabin, where the head councillor's office was. I am honestly scared and really nervous, thankfully Spencer insisted on coming with me. She wanted to support me in anyway she could. I'm just hoping her dad will let her sit in with me, but I highly doubt it.

As we reached the steps of the huge log cabin, Spencer stops. I turn round to look at her with a look of confusion; I thought she was going to walk me in.

"Spencer I thought you were coming in with me?" I asked in a pitiful voice.

"I didn't know if you wanted me to come with you or not. I mean it might be a personal talk or something important" Spencer looks up at me, a small smile appearing.

"Well I would like for you to come in with me please" I walk back down the steps and pick up her hand, then I walk back up towards the cabin door. When we reached the top, we both stopped and turned to face the other; bracing ourselves for the worst, but hoping for the best.

Spencer opened the door to let me through, and then she followed closely in behind me. I looked around the wide open cabin taking in every detail; the soft looking wooden walls, the outdoors furniture. It looked like all those hunters cabins from the movies. Although the stag's head mounted on the wall above the fireplace was kind of creepy, i felt like it was watching me.

A few paces from where I was standing, was a black looking log door. And this is a random guess, but I'd say that I will walk through that door in a few seconds. Well it's not really a guess since the golden plaque clearly states that behind that door waits the 'Head Councilor'.

"Hey Ashley, my dad is ready to see you now." Spencer says as she nudges me gently. I'm frozen in place, so Spencer takes the lead and steers me towards the door; which I swear is getting bigger. I lift my hand up to knock, but it barely makes a sound, but from the corner of my eye I see Spencer's hand coming in to view and knock loud and clear on the hard surface.

"Come in" replies a deep voice.

Again I'm frozen, so Spencer reaches out and opens the door for me. And again she gently steers me inside and to the seat which I'm guessing will be mine during our chat.

Once I'm sat in my seat I sense that Spencer is about to leave so I quickly latched onto her wrist and refused to let go. My eyes pleaded with her to stay, I don't know why she is even leaving especially when she said she would stay if I wanted her to.

"I think Ms Davies would like you to stay Spencer" The deep voice echoes with amusement, well it's good to see someone in the room is enjoying themselves. Spencer nodded slowly, as she took an empty seat on the couch across the room.

I'm looking down at my hands now, since Spencer's dad is looking directly at me. I'm used to being stared at and judged, but this is the nerve-racking judgment I have ever had to sit through. And he doesn't even know that I'm 'close' with his daughter.

"Hello Ms Davies, how are you finding the camp?" Arthur asks in a business like tone. And why is he calling me Ms Davies; everyone else is called by their first name.

"Um well it's only been 4 days, but I guess so far it has been awesome. The girls are nice and Spencer's been great." I look over at Spencer with a smile, she's blushing go figure.

"That's good then, well I'm sure your wondering why I've asked for you. Well it seems that you are now a legal adult, who is now able to make your own choices." Geez drag it out much. I'm dying here!

"What you're trying to say is?" I hope that didn't sound rude. He chuckled a little bit and he's smiled.

"Well since you're a legal adult you no longer permitted to stay here with us in the camp" There was a small gasp from Spencer's direction after Arthur had pretty much said you can leave. Arthur looks over to his daughter with a confused look. I on the other hand just frown and look down at my fidgeting hands.

"...Or you can stay here? The catch though is that you can not stay here as a camper, if you decided to stay, then you shall be staying here as a trainee counselor. It's your choice, so how about it?" I'm totally gawping right now. So I can stay and work here or I can leave and never see Spencer again. Well there's no question…looks like I'm becoming a camp counselor. Oh goody.

"Well I'm kind of attracted to this place, so I'd love to stay. Thanks" Arthur couldn't have had a more satisfied smile on his face. Spencer if its even possible has an even brighter smile than usual. I subtly wink in her direction; I don't think my new boss saw…at least I hope he didn't.

"Perfect. Since you know Spencer the best, I think its wise to have her train you and simply because she is the best I have. Your training begins today. Welcome aboard Ashley" With that said Arthur stood up from his seat and before leaving he patted my shoulder gently.

As soon as the office door had Spencer was straight on my lap leaving kisses all over my face. I somehow managed to get her lips attached to mine in a needy kiss. I do believe she is happy that I'm staying. Soon my lips start to hurt, so I pull back. I had to hold Spencer's shoulders back since when I pulled back she moved with me.

"Wow okay let me breath Spence." She giggled, as she nuzzled against my neck. It's strange you know, I've been here for only 4 days give or take a few hours and I'm more settled here than I ever been anywhere else in my life. This is most definitely the only decent thing Carolina has ever done for me. Although I know her intent was less than friendly when she sent me away. Honestly though who gives a crap…not me.

I'm free, I'm rich and I'm almost certainly in love.

I'm sorry this update is so short, but my idea for this chapter was cut short…I blame my lack of attention, but feel free to blame me =] I'll try and make the next one longer. Anyways I hoped it was satisfactory. Reviews please.
