Happy Campers

Chapter 31 – Don't Go Anywhere

When I woke up I was still wrapped in Spencer's arms, though her leg had thrown itself over my legs at some point. With my head nestled in her neck, I take a deep breath and snuggle a little deeper in to her body.

I was about to fall asleep again, but my blanket was starting to wriggle around. I groaned not wanting to wake up properly, but knowing that I had to get up and do something with the group today. I wasn't really in the mood to do activities. I just wanted to spend a little time with just Spencer and myself.

We really need to talk about where our relationship is heading, because I don't want to fall any deeper in love with her if this is only going to be a summer romance. Hopefully its more than a little summer time fun for Spencer, I know it means the world to me.

"Hey, Spence?" I whisper against her neck making her giggle as my breath tickled her neck.

"Hmm" she grumbled, not even trying to wake up fully. Yesterday must really have taken it out of her; poor girl is still pooped even after hours of sleep.

"I love you." I whisper, pushing my face deeper in to her neck. I heard a faint I love you too before her cute almost silent snoring started up again.

I can't sleep, but I'm way too comfortable to move. And I'm not sure when I'll be called away by Arthur to have that little talk he was wanting yesterday. I swear if Aiden mentions anything about Spencer, I'll kick his ass...well I'd tried because to be honest he's built like a brick shit house.

I lift my head slight so that I can look over the blondes shoulder and see the clock, its just one 7:30 which means breakfast it soon. I only just now remember that I never got to eat any food at dinner yesterday.

Speaking of which what would Arthur need to speak with me about? I never did anything yesterday that would get me into trouble and Spencer said that she never told her dad that we were together so it can't be that. I can see why he would need to speak with Aiden because well he's an ass, that's enough reason.

I was taken from my inner rant by a soft knocking at the door.

"Who is it?" I call out, trying to be loud enough for them to hear through the door, but not so loud that I wake Spencer.

"It's me." They reply.

"Well who'd 'me'?" I ask, seriously who gives 'it's me' as an answer.

"Don't be a dumbass Davies you know who it is!" Ah Madison, what does she think I am psychic? I wonder why she's knocking. She normally just charges on in here; usually hoping to see something naughty going on. She's never going to see anything. Spencer has this sort of six sense kind of thing, she knows when we're about to get busted mid-make out.

"Oh well come on in then." Madison came in to the room and walked over to where I lay with Spencer. "What's up Mads?" I pull away from Spencer and get up as carefully as I can manage. She's a deep sleeper, obviously since I've fallen on her twice.

When I finally get off the death trap I call a bed, I make my way over to the little chair by the window where Madison was sitting.

"Ashley...I think I like....like Kyla" Madison whimpered, her eyes starting to water a little. Hmm I knew this was coming. I can't see the problem though; well maybe Kyla's age is an issue. Nah that can't be it they are only a year apart.

"There's nothing wrong with liking her sweetie. We both know Kyla feels the same, so why the tears?" I say softly while rubbing her arm gently.

"She doesn't like girls Ashley!" She hissed. I was taken back by her harshness, but I completely understand why she's like this and I also know what the problem is.

"Okay Madi. Maybe I'm not the best person for you to be talking about this to. I think that Spencer would be the more helpful option. She's the Wiseman in the group." I sigh, wanting more than anything to be able to help her through this, but I can't.

I get up from my kneeling position and walk back over to the bed. I start tapping Spencer on the shoulder trying to wake her up, but it doesn't seem to be working. So I try poking her cheek instead, which gets a reaction, but not enough to wake her up. There's only one thing for it....looks like Madison will get that show that she's always wanted.

I lean over and litter Spencer's cheek with kisses, slowly making my way towards her lips. This has clearly gotten her attention as she reaches behind her and pulls me on to the bed, half lying on her. She grins while whisper a rather husky good morning against my lips, before claiming them with her own.

Spencer's tongue eagerly flicked at my bottom lip trying to get me open up to her. It's not happening even if I want nothing more than to have her tongue in my mouth, but this was more than what I was willing to let Madison see. I pushed Spencer back a little.

When Spencer growled I immediately stopped pushing against her. She's never growled like that before. Her eyes shoot open, when she realises that I'm not going to kiss her. Spencer eyes are three shades darker than I've seen before. They are most definitely sex eyes, too bad she wants to take it slow.

"Spencer, Madison needs to talk to you. It's serious." I mumble quickly, trying not to be drawn into her lustful gaze.

"You better not go anywhere, I'll be back to finish what you just started." Spencer continued to grumble as she turned around and got off the bed, she jumped a little when she realised that Madison was in the room. She then began blushing at what the girl had just witnessed.

I decided to ignore Spencer's orders and left the room. Madison and Spencer needed some privacy for that particular discussion. I walked out into the main sleeping area, where all the bunks were located. I noticed that all the girls were still asleep, meaning they had stayed up all night talking no doubt.

I carried on through the cabin till I reached the front door. I had pulled it open just in time to catch Arthur before he knocked.

"Ah good morning Ashley, you're just the person I wanted to see actually. Do you think we could have a little chat?" He smiled down at me, his big blues eyes shining with what I can only describe as joy. I wonder what he is so joyous about.

"Of course sir" I agreed.

"No need to be so formally Ashley, just call me what ever you feel comfortable with." He laughed. Arthur turned around and walked back down the steps. I wasn't sure whether to follow him or not, but then he gave me the signal to catch up to him.

~*~

The five minutes of walking took us to the lake, but it was an area of the lake that I've never been to or ever noticed for that matter. There was a little passes way through some of the boulders that surround the water, which leads to a secluded area.

Mr C sat down on to the soft grass that lay under him, before gesturing for me to take a seat at his side.

I'm starting to get nervous now. Spencer's dad hadn't speaking a word since we were at the cabin. And I being too scared to make conversation, walked silently at his side all the way here. But I'm sure that now we have made it this place, the 'chat' will begin.

"Ashley there's no need to be nervous. You're not in trouble or anything. I just wanted to talk to you about some stuff." Arthur chuckled. It's the 'stuff' part that worries me.

I mean what if he starts asking about mine and Spencer's relationship. I don't think Spencer would appreciate me outing her to her dad, but then again on the other hand I don't know if I could lie about the seriousness of our relationship, but then again Spencer did say that she didn't tell him because she didn't know whether I was ok with it.

"Okay look I'm gong to be straight with you Ashley." He said, and he burst out laughing. "I'm so sorry I'm being ridiculous. What I meant was that I know that you and Spencer are quite close. And I also know that Spencer is umm...that Spencer is a lesbian." Arthur bumbled.

Oh My God! He knows about Spencer wait...does he know I'm gay?

"Oh come on Ashley, don't look at me like that. You'd have to be blind not to see it. I've been waiting for just over a year for Spencer to open up to me." Arthur sighed again, while my mouth was still catching flies. "That's why I wanted to talk to you Ashley; I was hoping you could help her come out to me?" He looked over at me expectantly.

"How did you know I was gay?" I asked hesitantly. This could all still turn around and bite me in the ass.

"I didn't, but you just confirmed any suspicions I may have had." Arthur smirked. I could feel the heat on my cheeks as I sat there mentally slapping myself for dropping myself in it.

"Ah okay...Look Mr. C the best thing you can do is to assure Spencer that you'll love her no matter what. I'm sure that's all she'll need. I mean that's all I ever wanted." I looked away sadly, while the memories of my 'family' life invaded my head.

I was brought back to earth by a warm arm being slung over my shoulder, it was...comforting. "I should be getting back Mr. C Spencer had told me not to go anywhere." I laughed remember Spencer's frustration early this morning. Arthur patted my shoulder and laughed along with me.

"You best get going then." He replied. Before I had even thought about I wrapped me arms around him and hugged him tightly, whispering a sincere thank you. I then took off at a quick jog towards to cabin and my lovely girlfriend.

Today should be fun.
