Hello Spashley lovers. I'm really glad that you enjoying my story. I really cannot stop writing, so never fear, there will always be more to come. Shout out to SoNFaN, victorial117, dani, and patti1996, for giving me the most reviews. For those of you that haven't gotten a shout out, don't worry, I will address you at end of this chapter. Once again, I do not own anything besides my characters and storyline.

Chapter Seven

Tonya's POV

" So are we gonna stay here all day or actually do something fun?"

" If by fun, you mean sex then no Kip, we aren't doing anything 'fun'."

This is constant with us, sex is the only thing really keeping our relationship together, besides the fact that Kip is good looking.

" Come on babe. Finals are coming up and I need some sort of relief."

" Well relieve yourself. We were doing it before we were together, so I don't see it as being a problem."

I could really care less about Kip's relief. Right now I'm too focused on Spencer's date with Carmen. She's been gone for almost two hours and Carmen still hasn't sent me a text saying that everything is going good. I really hope so that I'm making the right decision. If Spencer ends up with Ashley... I can't even think about that right now. Focus on the positives Tonya, Spencer will be swooped up by Carmen's game and Ashley will be out of your life and for good this time.

" Babe come one please. I'm dying over here."

" Fine, do you have any condoms?"

" Not on me."

" Well either find one or it's not happening."

I send Kip on a scavenger hunt looking for a condom that we wont even put to use. It was just a way to get him out of my hair for a little while. Maybe things are going so well the Carmen doesn't even have to text me.

Spencer's POV

Don't think I'm a total bitch. I don't break promises and I promised Carmen that I would go to the mall today. But she's not even on my mind right now, all I can think about was that kiss... the best kiss that I have ever had in my entire life. If I could I would live early right now and tell Ashley to pick me up so that I could kiss her again, and again... and again.

" Here you go, one small chocolate cone."

" Thanks Carmen. You didn't have to pay, I honestly have enough money on me."

" Nonsense, I invited you here, there is no way that you are spending any money."

" That's sweet of you but really, I insist."

" Spencer, no matter what you do I am not taking anything from you."

" Fine, but you're gonna accept whether it's now or later."

I give Carmen my determined face, which only makes her laugh. I continue to lick my ice cream. I really think that ice cream is the best thing ever invented, well that and Ashley's lips. Man, the way she lifted me up last night makes me wonder what she can do in bed. I bite my lip at just the thought of our bodies colliding together, making pure ecstasy.

"Do you want to sit down, I know those bags must be pretty heavy?"

I take the offer as we went down at a table, placing our bags in the empty chair next to us.

" I still can't believe you bought that shirt."

" Hello, how could I not buy this shirt? It's epic!"

Carmen pulls out a the a t shirt that was bold but really funny. It was black and yellow with the words ' Warning! This individual Infected With "The Gay". Proceed In Caution.' It made a statement but it made me laugh, which made Carmen purchase it.

"So what kind of art are you into?"

" I mostly do sketching, just to keep myself busy really. It's always been just a hobby."

" Sounds like fun, my best friend into art, she's really amazing. Even got a scholarship to attend some art school in Paris."

" Damn. That sounds amazing. What are your plans after school, are you gonna do so something?"

" Yeah. I plan to go to UCLA in the fall, maybe studying accounting or something."

" You don't come off an a person that likes numbers."

She's right, I hate math, probably my least favorite subject but I'm good at it. All the Carlins are good at math, even Tonya. Don't believe me? Check her schedule, taking AP Trig. Yup, she's that good. But enough about math.

" Well its easy to get a job in accounting."

" But is that really something you wanna do?"

"I... I guess I never thought about it..."

I've always done what is expected of me, never going outside of the box. If I tell my mom that I'm going to school with no major, I won't even be allowed to go to college. My mom is the sort of parent that thinks that you will be nothing without college, I mean I believe the same as well but I never really pushed the issue. Carmen looks at me, wondering if she crossed any lines, so she changes the subject.

" Plan on wearing the bikini anywhere."

That's right, I bought a new bikini, nothing to extravagant but cute. Hot pink with lime green peace signs. Sue me for wanting to be hot when I see Ashley.

" No, just wanting to try something different. You never know why you might see while at the pool or beach or-"

" Or maybe... you can wear that when I sketch you..."

I can hear Carmen's voice get low while licking her lips, her eyes wander my body, her eyes meet mine and I can feel the lust in her eyes and body come forth me. She touches my arm gently, making my hairs stand up.

" Sketch..."

" Yeah.. You would be the perfect subject. We can do it on the beach, in your bedroom..."

Carmen moves closer to me, staring at my lips. I'm not sure what to do. I'm not committed to Ashley but I really like her. Plus, Carmen is sweet and is cute but I couldn't really see myself with her. She places a hand on my cheek. Oh God No! Please don't do what I think you're about to do.

" Spencer."

She is! She is about to kiss me! Quick Spence, how do you get yourself out of this mess? I turn my head away looking down on the floor. I know it was cruel to reject but I'm not really feeling Carmen in that way.

" Carmen, you're a great girl. You're sweet, charming and I'm sure that any girl would be luck to have you... but I think it would be best if we stay friends."

" Friends? I'm not usually friends with a lot of girls... but I think I could make an option with you."

I smile glad that we cleared the air, and that Carmen is accepting of the idea of us being friends.

" Well, I should get going. I have a lot of homework to do."

" Want me to walk you out?"

" No, I'll catch you around."

I reach forward and give Carmen a hug that I was hoping would be short, until I felt her arms make their way around my waist. She pulls me in closer but before I can let go, she places a soft kiss on my neck. I move away from her trying to show that I wasn't uncomfortable with affection that she gave me. I leave Carmen without saying goodbye and head straight to my car. I should have known that she wouldn't want to just be friends. I sit in my car for a minute and decide to shoot Ashley a text.

Ready 2 have some fun ;)

Within a few seconds, I get a text back.

Ashley: Pick u up in fifteen.

Oh shit! I better get going if I'm gonna hang with Ashley. I don't know what to expect today, If she'll want to be with, if she regretted anything from last night. I just hope we will finally settle things today.

Ashley's POV

" I take it that you didn't tell her the truth."

Aiden sure knows how to kill my job. Just as I was grabbing my keys to head to Spencer's place, I'm brought back to the truth. The truth that I still haven't told Spencer.

" Ashley, she's going to find out sooner or later. It might be best that you tell her now."

" He's right Ashley. Spencer seems like an understanding person and if you tell her now she will be fine with it."

" Thank you Kyla."

Kyla's face brightens up, just by the fact that Aiden acknowledge her. But whatever, no one asked her anything. I couldn't tell Spencer something like that after last night. Everything was perfect, the mood, the movie, the kiss... the kiss that only made me want to kiss her. You don't seem to understand. Spencer has lips that no one else could possess. They have this effect of making you feel as though your flying and I'm sure that sparks flew from our lips when they connected.

" No one asked you Kyla and I really don't have time for this Aiden. I need to get ready."

" So you're putting it off and lying about not knowing her sister?"

" It's not lying, I'm simply avoiding the topic. I don't want to screw up what I could have with Spencer. Last night, was one of those nights that would forever be with me. She isn't like any other girl I know. Her heart is so big and she is just so trusting... I know that if I tell her the truth now, things wouldn't be the same."

" And if you don't tell her and she finds out, she might not ever trust you again."

" Whatever, I don't care what you two do, but I gotta head get going."

I leave Aiden and Kyla in my room and head to my car. There was hardly any traffic so the ride to Spencer's was fairly fast. I was actually early so I decided to wait in my car until Spencer came home. It wasn't long when I saw Paul come out the house towards my car greeting me with a warm smile.

" Hey Ashley, waiting for Spencer?"

" Yeah, I told her fifteen minutes but there was hardly any traffic so I'm kind of early."

" What are you girls up to today?"

" Just a simple day at the beach, maybe get a burger or something."

" Nonsense, fast food is the killer of America, there is no way that you are skipping out on a proper meal. Why don't you stay for dinner after you come back from the beach."

Right about now a home cooked meal sounds delicious. I love my mom but her cooking isn't the greatest so we mostly eat out a lot.

" Are you sure that's okay? I wouldn't want to intruded."

" It's not intruding if I'm inviting. Besides, you can be have a new genie pig."

Paula opens my car door and I follow by getting out. I make my way into the house, which is a nice two story house, that actually looked lived in. Different smells makes it's way through the house, almost like a mixture of baked goods and home cooked meals.

" Hey there Ashley. It's good to see you!"

Arthur comes from the kitchen and gives me a half hug, which was at first awkward but when I felt the same warmth when I hugged Spencer, I let myself hug him back.

" Nice to see you too Arthur."

" Arthur, Ashley is staying for dinner tonight."

" That's great. You can be the first to try my new chilli recipe. I thought of it all on my own."

Arthur then proceed to push the wooden spoon towards my mouth, I take a small bite and my eyes open more in delight. Arthur was an amazing cook, it made me wonder if Spencer could cook like him as well.

" That's really good. Are we having that for dinner?"

" We certainly are, and I'm making a chocolate cake!"

I think I'm in heaven. Good food, chocolate cake, now all I'm missing is a certain blonde and I will forever be happy.

" What's going on in here?"

Dear god, why did you have to send the wrong blonde? I turn around to see Tonya leaning against the door frame. She sees just unhappy as I am to see her. I put my hands in the pocket of my shorts, shifting my weight around.

" Is something wrong Ashley?"

" Umm.. do you mind if I use the bathroom."

Good plan Ashley. Just go to the bathroom and wait until Spencer comes home.

" Of course, but our downstairs bathroom isn't in the best of conditions. You can use the bathroom in Spencer's room if you'd like. It's the first door on your right."

I would love to. I excuse myself and make my way upstairs. When I reach Spencer's room, I couldn't stop myself from looking around her room. It's pretty safe to say that her room is the opposite of mine. Her room walls are painted a soft pink, which went well with her white furniture. Her cheer uniform is hung on the front of her closet door, when I walk over to her dresser, looking at the pictures that occupy the space. I see one of her and the cheer squad, a goofy one of Chelsea sticking her tongue out but I stop at the one of her, she was sleeping and looked so peaceful, I was almost too scarred to touch it.

" I took that picture of her after my last summer of middle school."

Tonya is standing next to me, looking at the same picture as well. Damn, how did I not even know that she was in the room. The girl moves fast.

" Beautiful isn't she?"

" She sure is."

" Why are you doing this Ashley? Why are you here now?"

" Tonya, I didn't know that Spencer was your sister. If I would have known that before, I wouldn't have pursued her."

" Well now you know. What's stopping you from walking away?"

" I can't help it that I have a connection with Spencer. She's everything that I ever wanted, I can't walk away from her."

" But your stepping back into my life and you're not welcomed here."

" What Spencer and I do is none of your business?"

" One, she's my sister so I have every right to be involved. And another thing, my sister is not going to be a nothing notch in your headboard. "

" It's not like that."

" Just leave okay. Leave and everything will go back to normal."

" Ashley?"

Spencer stands in the doorway, looking at both me and Tonya with suspension. I really hope she didn't hear anything.

Spencer's POV

I walk upstairs to find Tonya and Ashley talking to each other, and from the looks of it, it seemed pretty intimate.

" Hey Spence."

" What's going on?"

"..I.."

" Ashley needed to use the bathroom and I showed her to the bathroom, but we lost track of time because we were talking about your picture."

Tonya interjects and Ashley agrees. Trusting both of them, I cool down with ease and walk into my room.

" I really hate that picture."

" Why Spence? It's a beautiful picture."

" God Ash, you sound like my mother."

" I'm going to excuse myself and do something more entertaining like stare at a wall."

Tonya gives me a sarcastic smirk and I give one back at her. When she closes my door, I wanted to take control. I walk over to Ashley, grabbing her by the back of her neck and place a soft kiss on her lips. She responses by kissing back, I pull back before it could deepen and I hear Ashley groan in frustration.

" Things can't get too hot and heavy. My family is here."

" Oh come on. Can't we put a sock on the door?"

" Silly Ashley, that's when you have a roommate and I'm pretty sure that would make my parents want to in my room, and my mom would drag you out by your hair."

" No way, your mom loves me."

" Until she finds you in bed with me."

" Ha ha. So are we going to leave soon?"

" I kind of have to change through. Can you give me a minute?"

" Take all the time you need."

Ashley sits on my bed legs crossed, looking at me licking her kissable lips.

" Ashley, you can wait downstairs."

" Awe, I don't get to see the goods?"

I point towards the door laughing. Ashley looks at me with an adorable pouting face but gets up, but before she leaves, she gives me a slow yet soft kiss. It leaves me speechless and blushing which is probably what she was going for. When she leaves the room, I take the time to change in my bikini, as I look in the mirror even I had to admit that I was looking hot, I knew that when Ashley saw me in this, she wouldn't be able to control herself. I slip on a simple white cover up dress, grabbing my purse and I head downstairs.

" Ashley are you ready?"

" Sure, we can do that."

" Girls, don't be late to dinner please?"

I am a little confused for a moment until I realize that my mother schemed into having Ashley over for dinner. Smooth one mom. This only gives her more of an opportunity to question Ashley, which means she is ruining any chance of a relationship with Ashley. We leave my house and I feel as though I should apologize to Ashley.

" I am so sorry that you got stuck coming to dinner tonight."

Ashley chuckles at my statement but doesn't take her eyes off of the road.

" Spence it's fine. You're parents are really sweet."

" You say that now, but just wait until you start getting questioned. I swear my mom is an undercover agent."

" I'm sure it is not that bad. We'll talk a little, enjoy some food and there's chocolate cake! Trust me, I can handle it."

" We can always say that you got sick or something."

Ashley then looks at me but it's not because she wants to, she seems upset or something and I just hate the look on her face.

" Do you not want me to come to dinner?"

" Huh? What are you talking about?"

" I just feel like you're making up excuses for me not come."

" No! Ashley, that's not the case at all. It's.. it's just that my mom is kind of rude sometimes about certain subjects and I would hate for you to not want to hang out with me because of my mom."

" And that's the truth?"

" Of course it's the truth. I would never lie to Ashley."

" Well.. if that the case, its gonna take more than some questions to not want to hang out with you."

I smile to myself, glad that Ashley isn't the type of person to back down from anyone, which makes me only admire her more.

Tonya's POV

" So you just let her walk away?"

" What was I suppose to do? Make her stay with me when she doesn't want to?"

" I don't know but you basically guided her in Ashley's arms!"

When I called Carmen, I was hoping to hear that everything went well, that my sister and her might have even hooked up, but of course I didn't. Now I have a huge cloud over my head and I feel like I'm about to throw up.

" Believe me, I'm pissed too. More pissed than you."

I doubt that.

" Well then do something about it. That whole 'let me lean in and kiss you even though I hardly know you' move isn't the best thing you could have used."

" it worked on you."

You make one stupid decision and people never let you forget it.

" Whatever, my sister isn't that type of girl. So I suggest you move your ass before it's too late."

I hang up the phone in anger. This cannot be happening, Ashley can't come back into my life. Not after everything and now she's coming to dinner? This is not going to end good, I feel it. I walk back into my house and head to the kitchen, looking at my parents as they are being extra touchy- feely. Gross!

" Can you not make me gag?"

" We did use to kiss before you were born Tonya."

" Yeah, which makes me want to throw up even more. Listen, I don't think I can make it for dinner. I have a lot of stuff I have to do."

"Tonya, the mall can wait."

" Very funny dad but I was actually going to head to the library and try to get some research done."

Like I would ever step inside of a library, but it's the easiest excuse to use and I'm sure that my parents would except it.

" And what are you exactly doing research on?"

Damn, I hadn't thought that far through. I look around the kitchen for some sort of miracle and then it hits me.

" Turkey!"

" Turkey?" My mother questions me.

" yeah, I'm working on the history of Turkey. I'll be a while so you can just leave my food in the microwave."

I turn around and walk out of kitchen before my parents could say anything. I almost got away with it until I heard my mother's voice.

" Hold it Tonya!"

I turn back around, and look my mother into her eyes that are not pleased.

" You will not skip out on this dinner. For one, you're father has worked very hard on this dinner and it is disrespectful for you to not come to dinner. Two, we have a guest joining us, and I know it would mean a lot to your sister it you were here and actually got to know her."

" Why should I care who Spencer is dating? It's not my business."

" Tonya Carlin!"

" Seriously, we know nothing about this girl and now she's staying for dinner! What's next, she'll be here for family vacations and holiday dinners too?"

" That is enough young lady! You will stay for dinner, you will be polite to Ashley and you will enjoy it. Now, you can work on your project in your room upstairs, but that is all."

I scoff in disbelief and march to my room, making she that I slammed the door behind me! I can't be at this dinner tonight, I just can't! I can't sit across from Ashley, acting as if everything is okay when it's not. If I go to the dinner alone, I'm not sure what I will do. Maybe that's it. Maybe I don't have to be alone. I pick up my phone and dial my only true and best friend.

"Hello?" Madison says on the other line.

" Whore, my house for dinner at 5. Don't be late."

That's it for chapter 7. I hope that you all enjoyed that and as promised, I will address some on the questions that you all have been asking me.

What happened between Tonya and Ashley?

Only Tonya, Ashley and myself knows what happened. Jk Jk but on a serious note, I won't tell you what exactly happened, but just think to yourself, what is the worst thing that you could find out about someone that you really like?

Is Ashley a player?

In her past, Ashley was a player, but with Spencer in the picture, who knows what will Ashley will be.

Is Tonya the type of girl that always wants to be the center of attention even at Spencer's expense? Does she always want what Spencer has?

The best way to describe Tonya is a bitch with a soft spot for her sister. Most of the time, Tonya is selfish and rude and doesn't care if anyone has to suffer in order for her to get what she wants. But at certain times, like with Spencer, she can have a heart and will look after her family. And regarding the other question, what kind of little sister would Tonya be if she didn't want what her older sister has?

That's it for now. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask. Please keep reviewing, you guys are amazing and it makes me want to continue to write for this story. Thanks for reading :)
