Hello! This is what you've all been waiting for. Spashley's date! YAY! I'm just as excited as anyone else . I hope you all like this chapter, I'm really going to try and focus on Spashley so here goes nothing. I own nothing besides my characters and my storyline. I'm warning you all that it's a bit long so just bare with it. Love you guys and enjoy.
Spencer's POV
"LET'S GO COBRAS! LET'S GO!"
God I'm really tired of saying this chant. I don't get why we say it so many times, it's not going to make them go any faster. But the game is pretty good, so far we're ahead by twenty points and it's only the second quarter. I shake my pom poms not really saying anything, mainly because I am too busy looking for Ashley. She said she would be here, so what is taking her so long. I pray that she didn't get into an accident. Around this time, it's always bad traffic, then again, this is LA, there is always bad traffic. I search the crowd again, no sign of Ashley, but I do see my parents and Tonya which make me feel a little better. Of course my mom has on her King High shirt and is waving like a maniac, while my dad is videotaping me. Even Tonya gives me a small wave and does a silly face that makes me smile and I do one back in retaliation.
" Spencer?"
" Madison says it's time to do our stunts. Are we doing a half or full extension?"
For those of you that don't speak cheer-talk, let me simplify this for you. You know the crazy little chick that goes flying in the air while her teammates catch her before she hits the ground? That's basically a stunt and I would be the little crazy chick, only for the past two seasons I haven't been crazy. Just the basic stunts, nothing too fancy but gets the job done. But I want to impress Ashley if she ever comes.
" How about a scorpion?"
That makes my whole stunt group nervous and it should. We haven't done that stunt since cheer camp. If this goes bad, someone could seriously get hurt.
" Spence, are you sure?" Alison questions me with a worried look.
" Why not? You only live once."
My squad nervously agrees and get ready to stunt. As Alison calls out the count, I feel myself being lifted. At first, I feel unstable but once I find my balance, everything went well. I bring my foot to the back of my head and hold it for a few seconds, and then cradle out. I can hear the crowd cheering loudly.
" That was beyond awesome!" Alison says hugging me
" I know. It felt great! I hope there aren't any hard feelings about what happened at practice?"
" Think of it as me just having a diva moment. Besides, you totally deserve that spot. It's about time the the real Spencer came around."
I smile and continue to cheer as our team makes another shot, giving us a 22 point lead. The buzzer comes on signaling that it is half time. When the both teams clear the floor, we make our way to the center of the court. I get into position, and as I look around, I see those brown eyes that I've missed seeing. She is talking to Chelsea for the most part until she sees my face on the court. She waves and gives me her famous nose- crinkle smile. I give her a quick wink that only makes her smile more.
Ashley's POV
LA traffic is a bitch. Kyla told me I should have left earlier, but tonight was my night with Spencer and I wanted to make sure that everything was perfect. I had the perfect outfit ( a short jean skirt, gold gladiator sandles, and a green and gold halter top), the music, the food. When I finally found parking, I made my way to the gym. Oh god, why are people leaving? I hope I didn't miss it. As walk with a quicker pace to the gym. Some people are still seating down, so I figured it must not be over yet. I look over at the bleachers for a seat when I am greeted with a warm smile from Spencer's friend Chelsea.
" Hey Ashley. Got stuck in traffic"
" People these days must get their license out of a cracker jack box."
" Ugh! I know the feeling. But at least you made it. You want to take a seat?"
Chelsea moves herself over giving me some room to seat down. I take the seat as well as a fry from Chelsea.
" So you like to steal my food too? Wow, you two are meant for each other."
I laugh as a take another fry. Wow, these fries are really good. I would go get some myself but I'm scared I might lose my spot.
" Did I miss anything?"
" If you're talking about the 22 point lead we have then yeah. But if you're talking about Spencer, then no."
Chelsea then hands me the rest of her fries, which I gracefully take and enjoy. I look onto the court and see the cheerleaders taking the over. If I ever went a game in high school, which was rare, I would always leave when the cheerleaders had to perform, but in this case, I couldn't help look when I saw Spencer. Let me tell you, who ever thought of these uniforms are a genius. It's a bit revealing and really short, but Spencer looks so hot in it. I couldn't help but look at her and think of the naughty things I wanted to do to her. She lifts up her head and makes eye contact with me. Do something Ashley before she thinks that you're a complete spaz. I wave at her and giving her that smile that makes my nose crinkle. What a loser! No she thinks you're a spaz and a doofus. I almost want to hide in a shell when Spencer gives me a sexy wink. The music starts and the cheerleaders start their routine. My eyes still haven't left Spencer. I think it should be illegal to that sexy, because it is taking all I can do to not run on the court and take her to the bathroom to give her the best sexual experience of her life.
Boys call you sexy (What's up sexy?)
and you don't care what they say
See every time you turn around they're screamin' your name
Now I got a confession (haha, ha, ha ha)
When I was young I wanted attention (haha, ha, ha ha)
And I promised myself that I'd do anything (haha, ha, ha ha)
Anything at all for them to notice me (haha, ha, ha ha)
When the team starts dancing, you can tell that they've worked really hard on the routine. No one was off count, or out of place, the all looked as one. All of them, except for Spencer. Not in a bad way, because she is a terrific dancer, it's just that she just stood out, anyone who was anyone had their eyes on Spencer.
When I grow up I wanna be famous,
I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
When I grow up I wanna see the world,
drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies
When I grow up, be on tv, people know me, be on magazines
When I grow up, Fresh and clean,
number one chick when I step out on the scene
But be careful what you wish for cause
you just might get it
you just might get it
you just might get it
I watched as Spencer's moves became more powerful, more sharp, more amazing than anyone else on the team. A few girls started doing jumps and flips, but event with that happening around her, she still shined brighter than any of them.
see you staring at me
Oh I'm a trendsetter
Yes this is true cus what I do, no one can do it better
You could talk about me, cause I'm a hot topic
I see you watching me watching me and I know you want it
Spencer's dancing went from entertainment to being straight seductive. She rolled her hips as she made her way down to floor. Her hair flips from side to side, making her moves flow with her body. She then got up, turned to the crowd and started shaking her nice tight ass. Man, what an ass. Not too big, not too fall, and firm. I'm pretty sure at this point I'm drooling on myself, but can you blame me? She stares at me, giving me those 'fuck me' eyes and feel more turned on than ever before.
But be careful what you wish for cause
you just might get it
you just might get it
you just might get it
The song comes to an end and the crowd goes nuts. The gym fills up with applause and the cheerleaders leave the court and take a water break. I wanted go down there and congratulate her, but she seemed too caught up with her team. The more I look at her, the more I think about tonight, and at first everything is fine, until I realize I have to tell her the truth. It will either go two ways, she will either love me or hate me. The game goes back to normal and the whole time Spencer gives me her flirty eyes. I never thought of cheerleading as anything, but she made it look effortless and she looked so skillful. For the most part I didn't pay attention to the game. If I wasn't focusing on Spencer, I was talking to Chelsea who is a pretty cool chick. The Cobras ended up winning 87 to 56, a pretty good score, considering that the other team sucked. Spencer comes up the bleachers and I feel my heart beat faster by the second.
" I'm glad you made it."
Spencer gives me a hug and I take great advantage to smell her. Vanilla and ocean water. A weird mix, I know but on her it smelt amazing.
" Yeah, I'm sorry that I was late. Traffic was a bitch, and it was hard to find good parking."
" Yeah, I should have warned u about that. King High tends to get crowded for basketball games."
" I can see. So are you ready to get going?"
" Actually, I was hoping that you wouldn't mind waiting a little longer? My cheerleading uniform isn't an outfit that I want to keep on for long."
With a body like that, I don't know why you wouldn't.
" Sure, I can wait here and kill some time."
" Don't worry Spence, I'll wait with her if you want."
" Thanks Chels. I promise I won't take long."
Spence leaves the gym and heads to the locker to change. I wish I could be a fly on the wall right now.
" If you're going to perv on my best friends at least do it quietly."
Holy crap it I say that out loud?
" Sorry I just-"
" Don't sweat it. I get it. You have the hots for my best friend. Its normal I mean she's fantastic."
I give Chelsea a strange look, how would she know that it's normal to think that Spence is fantastic.
" Ew. Not even Ashley, I don't play for your team. And even if I did, Spencer is like a sister to me."
Phew, that was a close one. After that, we make our way into the hallway mostly talking about Spencer and I got the whole 'you break her heart, I'll break your neck' speech. I knew she did it out of love and care so I didn't sweat it. After about ten minutes of hanging out, Chelsea's mom called her to come home, so she had to leave. She felt bad about it but I told her that I would be fine and that Spencer shouldn't take that long. I decided to head to the bathroom, mainly to get my head straight. I looked in the mirror and tried to give myself a pep talk. ' You can do this Davis just don't back down.' As I reapplied my lip gloss, one of the bathroom stalls opened, revealing that I wasn't alone, and it was the last person that I wanted to see.
" Fancy seeing you here Davis. Still pining after Spencer?"
Just that sneaky smirk on her face alone makes me want to smack her.
"What are you doing here Carmen?"
" Well my cousin is head cheerleader, so I had come and support her. Besides, I got to see Spencer jumping around. It was good enough for me."
" Your a real pig."
" Takes one to know one. By the way, how is Tonya?"
Carmen smirks yet again when she knows that she struck a nerve. She might not know that Tonya is Spencer's sister but she knows that Tonya and I don't exactly have the best past. I ignore her, trying to show that she doesn't phase me. Don't let her ruin your night Ashley, she's just jealous.
" What no slick remark? Think that your better than me Ashley."
" Anything is better than you Carmen, you're nothing but trash."
" Well Spencer doesn't seem to think so."
Huh? What does that mean?
" She didn't tell you did she?"
Tell me what?
"Wow, you really don't know. I can tell but that confused look you have on your face. It seems that Spencer and I have a date tomorrow."
My mind gets flustered with so many thoughts? How did Carmen get a date with Spencer? Did this mean that she like her more than me? How could I let this happened? So many emotions. Angry, embarrassment, sorrow.
" Don't be so upset, it's safe to say that the better man won. So give up because come tomorrow, Spencer Carlin with be my arm candy."
" I wouldn't be too sure about that Carmen."
" And why to you say that?"
" I don't think you'll be going anywhere when I rearrange your face!"
I go to take a blow at Carmen when I hear Spencer's voice calling my name.
" Ashley? Are you in there?"
" Yeah Spence, I'm in here."
And in walked in the true vision on beauty. Spencer's hair was down before, but I can tell that she straighten it a little more to make it look perfect. Her make up was light yet noticeable. She wore a white tank top that was a little loose but didn't completely take away her shape. Her light yellow skirt stopped mid-thigh and complimented her legs so well. In her hand, she held a light yellow sweater, just in case it got a little chilly at night. In all aspects, she looked great and I didn't know if I would be able to take my eyes off of her. Until, I noticed Carmen looking at her the same way, which made me want to squeeze her head until it exploded.
" There you are. I've been looking all over for you. Carmen? What are you doing here?"
" Oh... umm... I came to see my cousin, she cheers here and I just came to support her."
" Well thanks sweet of you, whose your cousin?"
" Madison Duarte."
" Oh that's cool. Well it was great seeing you. Are you ready to go Ash?"
Carmen's face call when she hears Spencer shorten my name. That's right bitch! It's getting serious.
" Yeah, I'm ready. Nice seeing you again Carmen."
Spencer takes my hand and holds it while walking out of the bathroom. My hand gets a tingle sensation as her thumb grazes the back of my hand. I couldn't help but take her hand and rub the inside of her palm as we were walking.
" What are you doing?" Spencer said in a low voice but was smiling the entire time.
" Checking your palm? I want to know if your going to be around for a long time."
" And do you know how long I'll be around."
"Long enough for me to do this..."
I lean in closer to Spencer, she looks at me with those innocent blue eyes unsure with what I am going to go. As she closes her eyes slowly, I tuck a piece of her hair behind her ear. I look over to see a bush filled with a small yellow western flower and place in her hair.
" There. Now you will live for a very long time."
Spencer reaches in her hair, pulling out the small flower and blushing uncontrollably. She then looked passed, seeing the worried look on her face.
" Spencer! You were great sweetie, I'm so proud of you!"
I'm guessing just by looks that this lady must be Spencer's mom. She kind of looks like Spencer but her eyes are paler than hers.
" Thanks mom" Spencer pulls out of the tight bear hug, trying to avoid eye contact with me.
" Hi, you must be Ashley. I'm Arthur, Spencer's Dad."
I now see where Spencer gets her smile and eyes from. Her dad is tall, with dark hair but has such a welcoming presences about him.
" Yes I am, and it's nice to meet you Mr. Carlin."
" Please call me Arthur." Mrs. Carlin then clears her throat hoping that he will introduce her to me.
" I'm sorry, this is Paula, my wife."
I take Mrs. Carlin's hand and shake it gently
" It's nice to meet you as well Mrs. Carlin."
" Is my mother around Ashley?"
" Not that I know of."
"Then please call me Paula." She gives me a smile that makes me relax a little more. Meeting parents isn't exactly my specialty but I guess this is going over pretty good.
" And this is my other daughter, Tonya." Or so I thought. I can tell that Tonya is avoiding eye contact with me, because I am trying to do the same. She looks more like her mom than Spencer does. Her usual over confident attitude has disappeared and she is trying her best to focus on anything but me. We give each other a head nod acknowledge that we are there.
" Will you like to join us for pizza Ashley?"
" Actually mom, we sort of already have plans."
" I don't remember saying that it was okay for you to go out."
" I gave her the okay Paula, and I'm sure they won't be out too late."
Paula looks at me, then Spencer, trying to pick up on anything that is going on.
" Well as long as you aren't out too late, it's fine with me, but come home no later than one."
Spencer gleams with joy , still clutching my hand loosely.
" Thanks mom. I'll see you when I get home."
Spencer and I walk away and head to the parking lot in search for my car. The traffic doesn't seem too bad seeing how we waited until a little later to leave. Once we reach my car, I open the door for her, letting her get comfortable in the seat before closing the door. I then get in the driver's seat and head to our destination.
" You look really beautiful Spence." I had to say it, I've been wanting to say it all night but didn't have a chance to say it until just now.
" Thank you Ash. You don't look bad yourself."
" Well , I try. "
" So, where are we going?"
" Some place secluded, quiet, away from the city."
" This is how all the horror movies start out."
" Not all of them."
" Pretty much most of them do. A couple drive out to a secluded and quiet place think that everything will be all right and then BAM! They loose their heads."
I couldn't help but laugh at Spencer's assumption that was way too over dramatic.
" I highly doubt that it would happen in real life Spence. Plus, I'll protect you no matter what. "
" That's sweet. Too bad I couldn't protect you from the raft of my mother."
I laugh lightly because she is just too sweet.
" Spence, it's fine, she just wants to make sure that you're okay."
" Well she seems to really like you."
" Everyone likes me."
Spencer laughs. Okay maybe not everyone but pretty close.
" I bet. Are we anywhere close to the place?"
" You don't like surprises do you?"
" I do, I just want a hint that's all."
" Okay, I have a hint for you. Are you ready?" Spencer nods energetically, could she be anymore adorable?
" I'm not going to tell you. So just sit back and enjoy the rise."
I can see Spencer pouting from the corner of my eye and it's taking everything within me not to reach over and kiss the pouty lip. I keep driving for about thirty minutes and pull into my secret hiding spot. It seems like a small shed covered with trees and branches. Spencer looks a little uneasy at the place, not sure about what is going on.
" Relax, you're going to love it. I promise."
I open the passenger door and help her get out of the car. I lead the way taking her inside the shed, when her eyes light up I know that I hit the jackpot. All day I have been planning our night,even though we're just hanging out, I wanted to make sure that it was perfect. On one side of the room, I have different kinds of food from boxed candy to popcorn, and pizzas. I even went all out and I got a cotton candy machine. In the middle of the room was an old fashion loveseat, that I had found in storage. It looked perfect so I had to get it. Behind the couch was a movie projector, tying my whole concept together.
" Oh Ash..."
She looks speechless, which I can tell is a good thing. Spencer isn't like any other girl and she deserves the best and I plan on giving that to her no matter what.
" Should we start with some pizza or maybe kick it off with some cotton candy?"
" Cotton candy please? It's my favorite." Only she can sound like a little kid and make it sound adorable rather than annoying.
" One cotton candy coming right up."
We walk over to the cotton candy machine and I start is up, making a ball just for Spencer, while I settled for a small bad of cotton candy. I escorted Spencer to the couch, making sure that she was comfortable before I started the movie. Once she assured me that she was fine, I started the movie, dimming the lights down as well. I sat down on the couch next to Spencer, putting a little space between us. I didn't want to but I didn't want to cross any lines with Spencer. The movie started and once she recognized the film, she inched a little closer but not too close.
" A Walk to Remember? I love this movie. It always makes me cry."
" Do you not want to watch it?"
" No, it's perfect, please keep it on."
I leave the movie on, and settle down to enjoy the movie. We're a little bit into the movie, the part where Mandy Moore starts singing in the play and Shane West realizes that he is in love with her. At that moment, I thought about Spencer, just like Mandy's character, she brings out the best in me, wants to make me be something more than what I am. But if when I tell her the truth will she push away or will she stick around for a while?
Spencer's POV
Tonight couldn't be anymore perfect. I cannot believe that Ashley went through all this trouble just for me, I honestly didn't think that she could pull anything like this off. The more time I spend with her, the more I learn about her, and I don't think I ever want to stop learning things about her. When I'm around her, I feel like I don't have to hide or step down for anyone, that I can shine without anyone putting me down. We're at the party of the movie when Mandy Moore's character is on her date with Shane West and her draws that small butterfly on her shoulder. For some reason, that scene has always taken my breath away, I don't know if it's the look in their eyes or the song that plays over the scene but I think of Ashley. When I look over at Ashley, she admittedly looks at the movie, totally giving herself away.
" Ashley?"
" Yeah Spence?"
" Do you think maybe I can get closer to you? I'm feeling a little cold."
" Sure. We can do that."
I move closer to Ashley closing the gap between us. She picks up my hand and places it with hers making my butterflies move around even more than they already where. We go back to watching the movie in silence, sneaking looks at each other not sure what to say or do. I know that Ashley feels the connection that we have, and I want to kiss her so badly but I'm still too shy to make the first move. What I miss her lips? What if she doesn't want to take it that far? Maybe I should just go back to watching the movie and see what happens. Yeah, I think that is what I'm going to do. Watch the movie. At this point, I am too nervous to do anything besides eat my cotton candy, piece after piece enters my mouth. Oh now, here comes the water works. Don't cry over a stupid movie Spence.
" Spencer, are you crying?"
Oh great, nice going Spencer.
" No."
" You don't have to lie Spence. It's a touching movie."
" I know, I guess it's just stupid to cry over a movie that's all."
" Hey." She takes her finger, placing it under my chin to bring my face up. " Nothing you do it ever stupid."
I give a small smile and I hear Ashley let out a smile chuckle.
" What?"
" You have a piece of cotton candy stuck on your lip."
Smooth Carlin, real smooth. I try to lick it off, but I am failing miserably. Ashley take her thumb and slowly picks it off my lip. Taking the piece of cotton candy, she slips it into her mouth and makes a long moaning sound as it dissolves. I try not to bite my lip that the sexual content in the action but it's hard not to as I let out a small groan. Ashley must have not heard it, seeming to be paying attention to the movie, so I decided to do the same as well. We finish the movie complete silence, I did share a tear or two because I'm a sucker for love stories. When it is over, I now notice Ashley's hand interlocked with mine. I guess I must have been too caught up in the movie to realize it. I look down at our hands and smile to myself, this feeling is better than any feeling that I ever felt.
" So, we have about an two hours before I have to get you home. Is there anything that you wanna do?"
" We can just talk if you want."
" I'm done with that. Mind if I ask where did you learn to dance like that?"
" What do you mean?"
" Don't take it too personal, the squad is good but they having nothing on you."
" Why do you think I would take it personal?"
" Well I didn't want to come off as me dissing your team."
" Trust me you weren't and it was just dancing and it wasn't even my choreography, I just did as I was told."
" Please! Tonight, you out shined your entire team. Anyone could she that."
" Thanks I guess. I use to take dance classes when I was younger."
" Wow, I can see why it paid off. I have to ask though, why an amazing dancer like yourself just settled for cheerleading?"
" Quite honestly, when I got to high school, I wanted to dance, but with no dance team, the only option left was cheer. So I tried out and made the squad."
" But why not just continue dance outside of school. You definitely have the skills to do that."
" I don't like dancing for companies anymore. So I just don't go."
" But you should continue. You have a way to make one simple move look like it's difficult yet flawless. Very few dancers can do that."
I start to feel uncomfortable anytime anyone starts talking about my dancing. It's not something I really like to talk about anymore. I decide to take control over the conversation just to get the subject on something different.
" So what happens to be your passion Ashley Davis?"
" Music has always been in my life, so I guess it's that. It's always come easy for me."
" Cool, so is that something you want to continue with or is it just for fun."
" I never thought of it like that, I do write a few songs but nothing special."
" I'm sure they sound amazing."
" Not really, they're kind of messy and not flowing well but it's something I have to work on."
" Maybe you should start working on it more. You never know, you could have a hit on your hands."
" I think I might give it a try. So how did you get started in dance?"
" It's a funny story actually. I hated dancing when I first started. It was just something that my mom put me and my sister in to keep us busy. Of course she signed us up for ballet which I hated with a passion. Until around the age of seven I heard music coming from one of the studios. I was bored, mostly hanging around waiting for my mom to pick me up. So I walked in to see these people doing a routine that would never be allowed in ballet. I walked in, just thinking I would stand by and watch... it was amazing Ash, I had never seen anything like it before, it was like a combination of dancers just letting loose. It didn't matter about technique or who was watching. It was just about having fun and living life. One of the dancers, brought me in and showed me the first ever free style dance that I learned. It was called gliding, and it felt like I was floating on air. After that day, I begged my mom to put me in anything but ballet. It took her a while but she finally rolled me in hip hop classes which I excelled in. After that I went to jazz, then salsa, tap. I loved dance. "
I look at Ashley, who is just staring at me in complete silence.
"I'm sorry am I talking too much. I have a tendency to do that."
" No, please don't stop. I like hearing your voice when you talk about dance, so please continue."
"Okay... My mom thought I should stop taking classes and start competition and I did and I won every single time. It was funny, because finally, something was about me. Before then, Tonya took over everything. She was the diamond in my families eyes. Never got any hand me downs, always the better toys, never had to wait on anything. Even in school, she has always been more popular than me, people just loved her. I guess, part of me was just glad that I was doing something better than Tonya and not the other way around. Through out our life and even now, she's always been about Tonya and sometimes I think things will always be like that."
I had never told anyone that before, not even Chelsea. But it is how I honestly feel, like no matter what I do, Tonya will always beat me.
" Spencer, you should never feel like that. You are to spectacular too feel like that. Trust me, I might not know you very well but you and your sister are not even in the same category."
" Yeah right. People are more attracted to Tonya, but I can't blame them, she's hot, confident, well rounded. Everything I'm not."
" When I say this, please don't think that I am putting down your sister... Tonya doesn't hold a candle to you. You're the kind of girl that someone wants tot take home and meet there family. The type of girl that makes you only want to do better for themselves so make you proud. The kind of girl who can make your whole like change just by doing the adorable head tilt that drives me absolutely crazy."
I'm a little taken back, but in a good way. No one ever spoke so highly about me before, which made me like Ashley even more.
" You think so?" I ask, tilting my head just as a response.
" Spencer, I know so."
I want to kiss her. God knows I do but I can't. I don't have the balls to do it which sucks! I just need to man up and do it before I miss my chance.
"Spencer?"
" Yeah Ashley?"
" Can I ask you another question without you getting mad at me?"
" I could never be mad at you. Just ask it, it'll be fine."
Ashley takes a deep breath, but for the first time since we met, she doesn't look into my eyes.
" Are you really going on a date with Carmen?"
Holy Crap.
Ashley's POV
There I said it. I know it's a stupid move and could ruin the great time that we're having but I had to know. I don't want to be one of those girls tat get jealous, but I can't stand the face of knowing that tomorrow, Spencer will be spending time with Carmen.
" It's not exactly a date Ashley... Carmen just called me and asked if I wanted to hang out with her at the mall."
That's not bad. Tons of people, hardly any alone time. You're stressing over nothing Davis... unless you count the dressing rooms. What's wrong with the dressing rooms? Oh nothing, just the fact that at any point and time, Carmen could sneak into the dressing room, help Spencer change into lingerie or bikinis or even see her naked. Oh no! So bad, so bad!
" Ashley are you okay?"
" I'm fine, just thinking is all..."
I don't want to say it but I'm worried, I never thought of Carmen as a threat but the fact that she was able to get a date with Ashley with no problem worries me. I've under estimated her and I'm not sure who will win.
" It's nothing really, Just hanging out at the mall, a little shopping, get some ice cream and head home. I might even come home early and maybe we can do something."
" Really?" Excited much Ashley? Oh shut up brain!
" Yeah, maybe go to the beach or something?"
This might be better than what I thought. Carmen might get a few hours with Spencer, but I get to see her last and in a bikini. It's my dream come true! Who wins? That's right, Ashley Davis does. Go Ashley! Go Ashley!
" That sounds great, just let me know when you get home and I'll swing by and we can head to the beach."
" Sounds like a plan to me."
After talking for a little longer, I decided to take Spencer home a little early. Not because I wanted to, but I didn't want Spencer to get home too late, and that way her parents will think I'm responsible for getting her home early. I drive at a normal rate, well according to my mother, my normal speed is driving at a rate that a NASCAR racer would drive. So not true, everyone else is just a slow driver. I keep the radio on low, just to keep the air from filling up with silence.
" Oh my god, do you mind if I turn up this song."
" It's fine by me"
I didn't recognized the song at first, until the words hit me and it totally describes my situation with Spencer.
It's gonna be love
It's gonna be great,
It's gonna be more than I can take
It's gonna be free
It's gonna be real
It's gonna change everything I feel
It's gonna be sad
It's gonna be true
It's gonna be me, baby
It's gonna be you, baby
It's gonna be...
It's gonna be love
11: 45, perfect timing Ashley. I turn off the car, as I sit in the Carlin's drive way.
" I had an amazing time Ashley."
" So did I. Just make sure you text me when you're home and I'll pick you up."
" I will do that. Well, good night Ashley."
" Night Spence."
Spencer gets out of the car and as usual I don't pull off until I know that she is safely inside the house. I then drive off. Half way home, I forgot about something I wanted to give, Spencer. I quickly turn around, making an illegal u-turn and head back to the Carlin house.
Spencer's POV
When I make it home, I manage to avoid my mother's questions simply by telling her that I was too tired and that I would tell her everything in the morning. Luckily, she believed me and it just bought me more time to think about Ashley. It was the best time I ever had hanging out with someone. It was something out of a movie or tv show. You would never picture any of this happening in real life until it happens to you. I'm about to take off my shirt when I hear Tonya's voice behind me.
" Did you have a good time?"
" As a matter of fact, I had a great time."
" That's good. Is Ashley a nice girl?"
" What can I say? She's perfect in every way."
" No one is perfect Spence."
" Well she's pretty close to it."
" How well do you even know this girl? Do you even know anything about her?"
" Not that it's any of your business, but Ashley is a nice person. And I might not know her well but I'm getting to know her. So instead of just judging her, why don't you see that she makes me happy."
" Because you don't know her from a hole in a wall Spencer. She might seem like a nice person, but what if she's really not."
" You met Ashley for what? Five seconds, and you're already examining her. Is it so hard to believe that someone like me could have someone like Ashley."
" I'm not saying that at all Spencer!"
" So what are you saying Tonya because the more you open your mouth, the more you piss me off!:
Tonya takes a deep breath and tries to collect her thought.
" I'm sorry okay. I didn't mean for it to come out snobby. I just want to make sure that you're careful Spence, I don't want you to get hurt."
" I understand that you're looking out for me, but if I get hurt or if I stay happy, I have to go through it by myself, after all I am your big sister."
Tonya gives me a smile and heads back to her room not saying a word. I have no idea what that was about. Whether she is looking out for me or not, she still had no right to judge Ashley. I close my bedroom door when I hear pebbles being thrown at my window. I open my window to see Ashley in the tree that is by my window.
" Ashley what are you doing here?"
" I know, I seem crazy right now, but do you mind if I come in for a second. I forgot to give you something."
I open bay windows wider. As Ashley makes her way into my room, I found myself laughing at her entrance.
" You know, you could have just called me. I would have came to the front door."
" I know that, but this was way cooler. Plus, I didn't want you getting caught by your parentals."
" True. So what did you forget to give me?"
" Oh yeah here you go." Ashley pulls out a small heart shaped box out of her pocket, I take it shaking my head in disbelief, I'm not a materialistic girl but it is nice to get a piece of jewelry every now and then. When I open the box, I see that it is completely empty which kind of puts a damper on my joy.
" Ashley there's nothing-"
My word were cut off my Ashley's soft but dominant lips. At first, I didn't respond but after a second of soaking it all in, I place my arms around Ashley's neck while she snaked her arms around my waist, feeling on the small of my back. The kiss deepened as Ashley knocked us back into my dresser, lifting me up by my thighs. I felt so many levels of feelings. I was surprised at how this happened, happy to be feeling her lips against mine. I didn't want to stop, the way Ashley's lips moved with mine were like music and dancing. You can't do one without the other. If I could, I could kiss Ashley all night. But unfortunately, Ashley had pulled back reluctantly.
" I know it was a bit forward, but if I didn't kiss you tonight, I would have regretted it in the morning."
" Please don't apologize... I've actually been wanting to kiss you all night..."
" Well I'm glad that we finally did... I better getting going before you're parents think that I've corrupted their little angel."
" You didn't corrupted me, just freed me."
Ashley and I kissed one last time before she made her exit through the window. I watch her until she pulled out of my driveway. That night, I went to sleep with a smile on my face and Ashley on my mind.
