Happy Campers

Chapter 23 – Nothing is for free

Wow okay so is anyone keeping track of how long I've been at this oddly awesome place? Any takers…no…ok well I have paid like zero attention to how many days have gone by, but I'm going to take a random guess and say I've been here for possibly two weeks maybe. Honestly who cares as long as it's a day with me and Spencer its all good right?

I've shared Spencer's bed three nights in a row, and tonight we plan on moving my bunk closer to hers so that they connect together. Spencer has made an effort not to rub up against me at night, but we still have the issue of her thinking my boobs are hand rests. Over all I have only had to have a cold shower once out of those 3 nights.

Anyways onwards with today's activities, today we have been given a free day to do as we please, wherever we please…well 'we' being the Pacific's are allowed anywhere that is not already occupied by the Hawks. Its sort a non-official restraining order set up by Arthur after the little prank we pulled. I'd say we got off easy, except for Spencer; she got the disappointed look and shake of the head from her dad. Harsh.

~*~

"Asssshleeeyy, the girls won't get up" Spencer whined. She's been doing that a lot lately when the others won't get their asses out of their bunks. I swear it's like I'm their mom or would I be the dad? Either way they all do as I say, but that could just be because I'm a little more persistent when it comes to getting what I want.

"Spence stop whining it's not attractive and you'll just have to make them get up" I reply while pulling my pants up. That was a lie, as I find anything Spencer does attractive, she just oozes hotness.

"If I had my trumpet, I wouldn't be whining at all!" She says, giving me the 'I know you thieved it, you little shit' look. I nearly forgot about that bloody thing, obviously Spencer hadn't.

"Ugh fine I'll get them up. God I'm the trainee here." I stomped into the open space that housed the four bunks. "GET YOUR ASSES UP NOW!" I hollered, it echoed and everything ha. 5…4…3…2…1…

"We're up" they each reply in sync. Ah I can almost feel the power flowing through my veins…I'm kidding, but I am quite proud. I turned round to Spencer's pouting face. I smile and place a gently kiss on her lips, before continuing to my room to finish changing…of course Spencer follows, she always watches me change now. She's a hoot to strip for, believe me.

Me being a trainee and all, I've been given this old camp uniform. It's one of those ones that you see in the movies; shorts that reach up to your chest and long socks and a plain navy blue polo shirt with the camp logo. Like hell I'm going to where that getup, no chance. I'll wear the polo, but I'm sticking to my flashy short, shorts. Spencer agrees, and if it's got Spencer Carlin's stamp of approval, then it's good to go.

~*~

So yeah this 'free' day is something that happens every two weeks during camp. That's all I've been told by Spencer, I'm sure she's holding back some on some information. She has that look in her eyes, so I know that I'm not going to be happy when everything is laid out on the table during breakfast this morning.

For the record people, I've made sure that 'my' group has not been late for breakfast since I was first given my trainee position.

Here we are; all seated in our usual places at our table. Evelyn and Katie are openly holding hands and ogling each other, its sickly sweet…and yes I am jealous. I want nothing more than to show Spencer my affection openly.

I was actually just about to make a conversation with said blonde, but my attention was stolen by some fool tapping my shoulder…turning round I identify the fool to be none other than Glen Carlin. I look at him confused, before seeing that Arthur was standing happily beside him.

"Hey, hotness. How are you this fine morning?" Ewww, why is it when guys wink, they manage to make it look like a twitch. Spencer winks perfectly, seductive and cheeky combined.

"Hi. I'm good thanks." I can't be rude, especially with Arthur within hearing range. "What can I do for you?" I ask with my best fake smile. Spencer's hand sneaks it way on to my bare thigh, giving is squeeze. I know that's a sign of her being unhappy with the current situation.

"Oh there is a lot that you can do for me or to me" Glen replied, whispering the last few words. From the now tight grip my baby has on my thigh, I'm going to say Spencer heard it aswell.

"Actually Ashley, there is something you can do. We've decided that we're going to pair the groups together. And as it is, we can't have Spencer's group working with the Hawks, so we're pairing the Pacifics with the Cobras for the clean up before the free day starts." Arthur states.

I KNEW there was a catch to this bloody 'free' day thing. And I can only guess that we are going to be cleaning the camp up. Spencer is so sleeping on the floor for this.

And what makes this all worse; we have to work with jerk off Glen and Carlin and his f-ugly group or hormonal boys. They are going to contaminate my lovely girls, so not cool.

"Oh we're cleaning the lake Ash, get your skimpy bikini on girl or you could go naked, I won't complain." Glen throws in wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. Yeah I think I threw up a little bit too.

~*~

After a very quiet breakfast, we returned to out cabin to change for the day of labor that awaited us. I was never any good at cleaning; I mean I had a maid for crying out loud, I never needed to clean anything. Just goes to show that nothing in this world is free, there is always a bloody catch.

You know, now that I think about it…how in the heck does someone clean a whole lake in a day, then with enough time/energy left to enjoy a 'free' day? I didn't sign up for this! Well actually I never signed up for any of this, the camp the whole thing was a mystery to me before I got here. Fucking Carolina witch!

Wow I think it's been a while since I've said a 'bad' word as Spencer says. She's starting transfer her life lessons on to me, I think.

Ugh I've gone off topic now.

So yeah, we went back and got changed into our swimming suits. Spence was trying to get me to wear this frilly one piece, I refused of course…not even I 'The Great Ashley Davies' could make a frilly one piece with little butterflies on it, look good. All I'm going to say is that the designer of said one piece should be shot, or maybe just have their sewing kit confiscated.

"Ashley I insist that you change!" Spencer said firmly, her arms folded and a glare fixed upon me. Quite frankly I couldn't give a jacks ass, I'm loving my choice of bikini; plain white and very skimpy, and lets just say I'll bare all when wet ha. I can see that Spencer likes it, but she's way too bothered by her brother getting an eyeful and hitting on me again.

"Spence sweetie, chill out. I'll have all the protection I need with you and the girls. Only an idiot would try something with my guard dogs on patrol." Hopefully my sultry wink was enough to put her at ease, it sort of worked. Although I did hear a very quiet murmur, which I believe said 'Glen is an idiot'.

The girls had a nice look when I walked out of my room, Spencer in tow. Then we were off to the lake. My blonde baby did call a private meeting, one I wasn't allowed to attend apparently. I'm sure she was just assigning jobs for my guard, I love her jealousness, but really is there any need for such desperation. Maybe she doesn't trust me?

Blah we really need to talk about the relationship. Now I'm that I'm thinking about it all, we haven't really talked about what we're doing; still in that honeymoon stage. I'll mention it tonight, but first things first…let's get clean.

~*~

Okay so here I am at the lakes edge, wondering why anyone would think that this water needs cleaning. It is literally crystal clear, what they want me to do…filter the whole flipping lake!

"Here you go Ash, put this on." Spencer said as she handed me an air tank. When she lets go, I fly to the floor. This shit is heavy; Spencer must be macho woman, since she was carrying it round like it was nothing.

"Spencer I'll drown with this on my back. Give me a snorkel." I stand back up looking as serious as I can, knowing she'll think I'm kidding if me lips even give the slightest twitch.

"Don't be daft Ashley; the tank will be as light as a feather in the water. Now get on in there, before Glen finds you. Please" Hmpf that bloody puppy pout, will only work for so long and when it no longer works, she'll be in deep doo doo.

"Hey Ash, wait for me. I'll help along your side." Glen says running up to me, his own tank already strapped to his back. To give the guy some credit, he has a nice body, doesn't make me drool like Spencer's does though. His black and blue surf shorts fit nicely as well, instead of hanging of his ass. It's shocking how many guys think that girls want to see their hairy crack, makes me shudder. "Okay sweet thing lets get this party started." What party? Bloody fool.

"Oh hey, Glen right?" Evelyn swoops in, her smile as dazzling as ever. Glen gives her an appreciative once over.

"Yeah that's right, and you are?" he asks in the same lame attempt at sexy he uses on me. I can see Kate several paces behind Eve, giving the oblivious Glen the death stare. It's quite cute, hardly threatening at all.

"I'm Evelyn, but you can call me whatever you like." Eve starts giggling, though it may come of as a flirty giggle to Glen, I know for certain it's an 'up to no good' kind of giggle. I'm actually nervous right now, I have no idea what Eve is plotting, as I wasn't allowed to attend Spencer little group gathering before.

While Glen was being distracted Spencer snuck up behind me, and whisked me away towards the water. She helped me put my pack on, and checked everything was ok before pulling me into the water with her. I looked back and saw that Glen was looking around for me; it seems Kate had taken Evelyn away from him haha sucka! I was already neck deep in the lake so I doubt he would be able to spot me.

A sharp tug on my ankle pulled me completely from view and under the clear water. Thankfully I had my mouth piece in, so instead of inhaling a load of water, I inhaled a good lung full of oxygen. I used my arms to turn me around to face Spencer, she'd let go of my ankle at this point.

Her eyes were sparkling through her mask with amusement. I'm sure she would have a huge grin on her face if she could, but the mask prevented any sort of smiling.

I bet Spencer's pretty proud of her self; she has successfully stopped any moves Glen had planned on putting on me here underwater. Now I'm quite good at putting the moves on myself, but even I'm having trouble thinking of a decent move to pull underwater…it just wouldn't work. Well there's kissing I suppose, but how cliché is that I mean geez can I get some originality around here.

Spencer made some hand gestures at me, now if I had a very dirty mind I would have taken half of those hand gestures and turned them into something totally new. Her hand was making a circling motion and then pointing downwards.

So from that I'm guessing she wants me to circle around the lake and look from rubbish and things. I make an 'ok' sign and get to work. The faster I clean this lake the longer I get to have free time with Spence.

~*~

Okay so that was the easiest job in the world. Honestly it took me 45 minutes if that. The only bit of rubbish that I found down there was the cork of the champagne bottle that had knocked Spencer out of the rowing boat. You should have seen her when I surfaced with it, her hands shot up to cover her face. Like I would throw it at her or something, the night it hit her in the head was a complete accident. She doesn't believe me; she thinks I aimed for her.

"Hey Spencer, does this mean we're finished here?" Madison asks as she joins the circle that we've created. We're lounging around by the lakes edge, soaking up the sun. Madi was the last to finish mostly because she was busy ogling Kyla while she was working. Not that Kyla was complaining, for a 'straight' girl she sure loves Mad's attention and doesn't half get pissy when someone else catches Madison's eye.

"Yeah we're all done ladies, so free time is a go. You can each do your own thing or whatever, but don't distract the guys from their work and stay away from the…" Spencer starts to say, but I interrupt and finish off.

"Bitches." It gets me a slap on the arm, but it was worth it. They all run off in the two different directions, I'm sure you can guess the pairing. I looked over at Spencer; she was already getting to her feet, offering me a hand off of the floor. Pulling me up, she end up falling into her. The temptation to kiss her is too great I just have to kiss those glistening lips.

It was short and sweet, when I pulled back Spencer's eyes were still closed and she had this dreamy look about her. I smile lovingly at her as I take her hand and lead her off towards the woods. Towards a place I know where we can really let go and where nobody will find us to ruin our prefect moment.

~*~

This is the sort of free time I could get used to. Making out, with the only noise surrounding us is our own moans and the quiet chirps of birds and soothing sound of the wind in the trees.

Our tongues mix together in that intimate dance that only lovers know. We may not be lovers in the physical sense, but I can honestly say that I love Spencer beyond anything else in the world. And I don't mean to let my thoughts get the better of me, but some things just slip…

"I love you" Spencer stiffens the second the confession leaves my lips. It was too soon…


Okay so firstly I'm sorry for the long wait. I quit college then was made to re-apply which has put me way behind on all of my work, so I've spent all of my spare time trying to make up the things I've missed. That and my birthday is coming up and I'm being pestered by everyone about what I'm doing for it. To be honest I don't really think my 17th is anything to celebrate, all I want is a quiet meal with my family/friends, everyone is bloody nuts if they think I'm going to break the bank on a party. So again I'm sorry for the wait and I hope you enjoy. Reviews are appreciated and thoughts/ideas are considered. Thanks x
