Happy Campers

Chapter 36 – I'm gonna marry her someday

"Wait...what?" Spencer asked, pulling away from our embrace to hold me at arms length. Her face was scrunched up in confusion; then again she has every right to be confused, since I did just kind of blurt it out.

Damn it, why did I even say I wanted to go home? I mean I do want to go home at some point, but I have every intention of taking Spencer home with me, after I've kicked her royal witchness out of the house of course.

Anyway what I'm trying to say is that I don't plan on going home just yet. I mean I still have to ask Spencer how she feels about coming with me first. I would love to assume that she would just jump at the chance, but we haven't been together for that long, she might think I'm moving to fast.

"Are you breaking up with me?" Spencer whimpered. She couldn't even look at me right now.

"No! God no, Spencer this isn't me trying to break up with you. It just that...well I know your dad offered me that job here and I appreciate it I really do, but living here all the time, it just isn't for me. What I'm trying to say Spence, is that I've just turned 18 okay. And I want to go to college and build a career and a whole new life for myself and I can't do that if I stay here." I explained. I hope this is coming out the right way.

"I wouldn't have held you back from that Ashley." She snapped. Gone is the hurt, now here comes the anger. I think I really better explain this all, before it gets out of hand...I just don't know how.

"I know that Spencer, I was actually hoping that you would consider I don't know, coming with me? Back to L.A I mean." I say looking sheepishly at the floor, this is it. It's now or never. This is where Spencer decides whether she wants to be with me outside of the camp or whether she decides that what happened between us was a summer fling.

Meanwhile...

Madison had called a group meeting after the unfortunate mishap that had involved Ashley and Aiden. Something had to be done about him, if he had this kind of attitude and temper towards those who had a different persuasion, then we was clearly not fit to work with the children that came to the camp.

There was a lot of talk before Madison took over, shushing the other so that they could get on with the meeting. The gossip between the three was driving her mad. It was incredible how quickly rumours spread, even when over half of the camps occupants were there to witness the events themselves.

"We need to talk to the big man." Madison announced, interrupting the group from start a new round of gossip. Now normally the young Latina would be at the front of the gossiping group, but her weird connection with Ashley made everything hit home harder than most thing.

With a round of nods the girls set off in search of Arthur. He was of course in his office dealing with Aiden. A lot of shouting and fists pounding on desks could be heard, as the girls waited outside his office. They winced when Arthur's already booming voice got louder and if possible angrier.

Behind the door...

"What could you possibly have been thinking, attacking Ashley?! And what's worse is that you did such a thing in front of young children!" His words vibrated through the office cabin. "You are finished here Aiden, do you understand me. You are no longer welcome at the Camp, pack you're things. I shall be taking over your group." Arthur then motioned for Aiden to leave.

As the sulking Aiden stood he dropped his head in shame. It had all just sunk in what he had done. Not only had he ruined any chances of getting Spencer back, but he had also lost his home. The ice pack that he was holding over his cheek dropped to the floor, he then turned and left the office.

When Arthur's door opened, the girls jumped to their feet. They watched as a beaten and watery eyed Aiden stepped out, they each glared and shook their heads. He looked down at his feet, and then dragged his feet out the door.

The boss man himself then walked out of his office, looking more worn out than ever. Looking up he saw the four girls that were regulars to his office. Sighing tiredly, he approached them.

"And to what do I owe this pleasure, ladies?" He asked.

"We just wanted to know what was going to happen to Aiden." Kyla replied. Arthur laughed a little, while shaking his head.

"You are a nosey bunch." He chuckled, the stress of the day was lifting somewhat.

"Well yeah, but Ashley is like our sister and we just wanted to make sure she was going to get some form of justice; especially since she is refusing to press charges against him." Katie mumbled. Evelyn wrapped her arms around the shorter girls shoulder and pulled her into her side.

"Its okay girls, Mr Dennison is no longer welcomed here. Now back to your cabin and clean up, there is a surprise inspection later tonight." He winked and went back into his office. The girls were quick to head back to their cabin.

Spencer has been standing in front of me for nearly 6 minutes, just staring, open mouthed and eyes wide. I can only wait for so long before I decided that her reaction is a negative, so she really needs to squash my fear and answer.

"I-I don't even know what to say Ashley." She stuttered. I sighed lowering my eyes back to my fidgeting hands, tears threatening to go over board. "I would love nothing more than to go with you Ashley, I'd follow you anywhere. I mean I know we haven't been together long, but I can really see a future for the two of us...together." She finished smiling widely.

Of course the tears that wanted to fall were now falling rapidly; thankfully for a whole other reason. I don't think I can even describe how happy I am right now. I seriously though she was going to say that she couldn't leave her family and join me in L.A.

I think I would have died if everything ended here. We have gone through quite a bit and I'm just not ready to let Spencer out of my life, well not without a fight anyway, which I think I've already proved. I have the injuries to back that up.

"So you'll come back to L.A. with me?" I ask. Must always double check, I don't take surprises very well, so I don't want to assume anything. I want the words to leave Spencer's lips.

"Yes Ashley. When camp ends, I will come with you back to L.A." I was on the blonde in seconds. I had jumped her so suddenly that I had caused her to lose her balance, and we oh so conveniently landed on our join beds.

I lay so that my lower half covered Spencer, but I still supported my weight with my arms. This was a moment that I didn't want to ruin.

"I love you so much Ashley." Spencer murmured against my neck, where her lips littered kisses; making my heart beat pick up to a ridiculous pace. Her hands ran down my sides and up my back. "I want you. So much" Her hands started to get grabby.

My resolve it most definitely starting to crumble, and Spencer wanted to wait till her wedding night, but she is really making this hard for me.

"Spencer, you're making this waiting thing really hard." I groan.

"Ashley, I can't wait anymore. I need this, I need you." She whispered, sending shivers down my spine. The little hairs on my neck stood up, the anticipation of it all was really turning me on.

Our lips were crushing together in every angle possible, our sounds mingled together in perfect sync. It was like something out of the movies, except with more passion and desire. Granted there were no candles lit or anything spectacular, but it being just us together was what made it perfect.

Everybody gets themselves so obsessed with the scenery that they forget what really matters. I mean I get that it shows that you care and made an effort, but does all that really matter when you're with the person you know your going to spend your life with.

And I know this is the girl I'm going to marry someday...someday soon. And that's exactly what I tell her. Spencer smiles, her eyes filled with emotion; all good. Then we practically fall together.

"Spencer, are you positive you want this?" I ask, it's like I've said before I don't Spencer to ever regret anything involving me.

"Ashley, don't make me ask twice." She growled, pulling me down, back into a fiery kiss. Wow she really wants this, and I do believe 'The Beast' is back, and it's about to make me one very happy camper.

The End.

I'm aware this took a daft amount of time to be written, but I just couldn't get it right so I kept deleting it and starting over. I wanted it to end decently, hopefully I have achieved that. Anyhow this is the last update from me. I've re-enrolled into college, going to continue my course, so my time will have to be spent on that. I just wanted to thank those of you who have stuck with my stories, even with my long breaks in between each update. I have enjoyed writing for you. I may show up at some point with a one-shot, well I hope so. Anyway thanks again, goodbye and enjoy.
