Ashley's POV

LAX

"Spencer, you don't need to come in with me, you won't even be able to get past security" I don't like goodbyes and I don't need all of LAX to see me break down.

"Are you sure, Ash? I can come in, it's not a big deal" Spencer is just trying to prolong the inevitable.

"Let's just say bye here, I don't think I can handle anymore" I plead.

"Ok" she says popping the trunk and getting out of the car. She pulled out my suit case and pulled in up to the curb. She went back a shut the trunk and leaned against the car.

I walked up to her and she pulled me close to her.

"I changed my mind, I don't want you to go" she put her forehead to mine.

"That's not even fair, Spence. You know I blow this whole thing off right now. Don't do this to me." My eyes are closed and I rub my nose against her.

"I know, I'm sorry I'm just really going to miss you. You're going to be great in New York and I'll get to see you in two weeks" She moves her forehead off mine and lifts my chin up. "I love you" she whispers and kisses me.

"I love you, too" I pull her into a hug and then take my hands and place the around her face and pull her into a very passionate good bye kiss. "I'll call you as soon as I land" I tell her as I start to step away.

"Ok, I'll be waiting" Spence says making her way back to the driver's side door. "I love you" she yells.

"I love you too" I say then turn and walk inside the airport.

Spencer's POV

After I dropped Ashley off at the airport I drove to our house on the beach. With my cell phone attached to my body I grabbed a towel and my book and walked down to the water.

"Hey Spence" some one yelled when I was just starting to get into my book.

"Kyla" I yelled back in a questioning tone.

"Where have you been? You told us to meet you here at 4:30" Kyla walked up to me with Aiden in tow.

I had completely forgotten I had invited them over to hang out. I knew I would be down about Ash being gone and I thought it would be fun to hang out at the beach and start priming all the walls in the house.

"I am so sorry. I completely forgot. I dropped Ash off and then…" Kyla cut me off.

"We understand, you look like you just lost your puppy" Kyla joked.

"Hey, leave me alone. Two weeks is the most I've been away from Ashley in a long time" I said defensively.

"I'm just kidding" Kyla laid her towel down next to mine.

"So what's the game plan Spence" Aiden asked as he set up his towel.

"We'll I thought we'd chill down here for awhile then go up and start priming. I have all the paint we'll need and we can order in as well". We had purchased a few more air mattresses and new plasma TV yesterday. We knew there would be a bunch of people in and out the next few weeks and we wanted to make sure we had stuff incase they decided to stay over.

"Well I'm excited. I love how the ocean smells at night and waking up listening to the waves, this is going to be great" Kyla chirped!

"I can't thank you guys enough for all your help. It really mean a lot to me and Ash" My friends were truly amazing. My dad and Glen were coming tomorrow afternoon and my mom was coming to join us once her shift ended. We might get this first coat on sooner than we thought.

"Let's grab some sun, we'll head up in a little" Aiden said laying back into the sand.

Ashley's POV

"Ladies and gentleman we are making our final descent into JFK, please make sure your seatback is upright and your seatbelt and tray table are fastened"

Ugh, I hate this already. Jill from the label is picking me up and taking me to the office when I land. I have a bunch of meeting today and then I meet with some producers. I need to find one I mesh with. They already have picked a few songs they want me start recording. I also have a long list of people I have to meet with. This is going to be a long two weeks. At least I have something to look forwarded to. We touch down and taxied to the terminal. I made my way to baggage claim where I was met by Jill. I had met her once before in LA so at least I didn't have that awkward greeting period.

"Hey Ashley, welcome to New York" she stuck out her hand for me to shake.

"Hey Jill" I took it "it's nice to see you again. Thanks for picking me up" I said, it really was nice. I hate airports and I hate when people ask me to take them or pick them up.

"It's no problem. Got all your bags? Ready to go?" she asked.

"Yup, lead the way" I said gesturing Jill to go.

We made it to her car and started to drive off. "You mind if I make a phone call" I asked Jill.

"Not at all" she said "go right ahead".

"Thanks" I pulled out my cell phone a hit Spencer's name.

"Hey Baby" Spencer answered.

"Hey. I just wanted to call and let you know I landed. Jill and I are headed into the city".

"Good, I'm glad you made it there safe". Listening to her made me miss her even more.

"So what are you up to tonight" I asked.

"Kyla and Aiden are over. We just got back up from the beach and we're getting ready to prime" she said prime like it was a badass thing to do.

I laughed into the phone; she's so cute "Wow, you guys aren't kidding around with getting the painting done".

"Well I need something to do to keep my mind off you" Spencer shot at me.

"You mean you don't sit around and pine over me all day when I'm gone" I pretend to be offended.

"I wanted to, but painting called. I do miss you though" she trailed off.

"I miss you too, but two weeks, right" I asked, just making sure.

"I have my ticket in my pocket. I can't wait." She told me.

"Good. Ok well I'm going to let you go, have fun painting. I love you" I really didn't want to hang up, but I didn't want to leave Jill just sitting there.

"Ok. I love you too. Call me tonight when you get in, I don't care how late it is" another one of Spencer's orders.

"I will, bye"

"Bye" I hung up the phone and put it back in my pocket.

"Sorry about that" I turned toward Jill.

"It's no problem, not to be nosey, but was that the infamous Spencer" she asked.

"Infamous?" I was confused, how did she know about Spencer.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Paul and Jim said that you made them wait before you signed because you had to talk to your girlfriend Spencer. No one has ever made them wait, so we all call Spencer "The Infamous Spencer". She explained. I just chuckled.

"Well then, yes that's her. She's not just some random girlfriend, though." I wanted to explain it wasn't just some girl.

"Hey, you don't have to explain. I think it's nice that you're grounded enough. There are too many people in this music business that only think about themselves. It's refreshing to see someone care and it's refreshing to have someone thank me for picking them up. I believe you're actually the first" She smiled my way.

"Wow, are you serious. That's ridiculous. I give you permission right now to smack me upside my head if I ever get that way. I'm counting on you to follow through on that too" I told her.

"I have a feeling with you I won't need to, but if that transfers over to other artists that would be great" she laughed my way. I have a feeling we'll become good friends.

Spencer's POV

We were just wrapping up painting and getting ready to pop in a movie, it was almost ten. I was popping some popcorn when my phone rang, I looked at it and saw it was Ashley "I'm gonna take this on the deck" I yelled toward Kyla and Aiden.

"Hey baby" I answered the phone.

"Hey" Ashley sounded tired.

"What time is it there" I asked. I hadn't even thought about time change.

"It's almost one" she replied.

"Ash, I'm sorry. Go to bed and call me tomorrow" I didn't want her to be tired for tomorrow.

"No, I want to talk to you. I'm just a little tired from all the travel. How is the painting going?" She did sound interested.

"Not too bad. We finished the dinning room, kitchen and started on the living room. We're just getting ready to pop in a movie" I explained.

"I wish I could be there, falling asleep with you in my arms is not something I like skipping" she's gonna make me even more sad.

"I know, just think two week and I'll be there. Plus, you hate painting; at least you're getting out of that. Oh that reminds me, I sent you a few links for some new kitchen appliances, look at them when you can tomorrow and let me know which ones you like" I had found some really cool stainless steel appliances I thought would look good in the kitchen.

"Ok I will. Go enjoy your movie, Spence. I'll call you when I break for lunch tomorrow".

"Ok, I'll let Aiden and Kyla know you said hi. I love you".

"I love you too, Spence. Good night"

"Goodnight" I hung up the phone and looked down at the spot we claimed only two nights before. I can't wait till we can sit down there together again.

I walked back in a joined Kyla and Aiden in front of the TV. I'm pretty lucky; I have great friends, great parents and a girlfriend I'm in love with.

I love my life and I love that girl.
