Spencer's POV
We had been grocery shopping for fifteen minutes and I already remember why I liked to do the shopping alone. Being at the grocery store with Ashley was like being with a six year old; you always have to check the cart for things they might have snuck past you.
"Ashley! There is no reason we need four boxes fruit snacks" I feel like this is the eighteenth thing I've yelled at her about.
"Come on Spence, we need four boxes for the weekend. It's great snack for the beach and there will be a lot of us" she had those puppy dog eyes.
"Fine, but I better not find out that you ate all of them" I give her a stern look followed with a smile.
"Thanks" she said kissing me on the cheek and disappearing around the next aisle.
I looked down in the cart and I reached in and took out three of the four packages of double stuffed Oreos and put them back on the shelf. How she keeps her body looking so good I will never know, or really care!
"Ok Spencer, now these were on sale, it said 10 for 10 so that's why I have so many" she says holding ten boxes of Pop Tarts.
"Ash, that doesn't mean you have to buy all 10 boxes. Have you ever been grocery shopping before?" I laughed.
She dumped them into the shopping cart and gave me this confused look.
"Ash, we aren't not getting ten boxes of Pop Tarts" I looked at her like she was crazy.
"But looked at the savings, Spence" she said like I was throwing money around.
"We can get three boxes for the same sale price" I reassured her.
"Then why do they say 10 for 10?" she was still confused.
"Because cute girls like you think they have to buy all ten" I said smacking her ass as I pushed the cart to the Pop Tart aisle to put some back.
After an eventful trip to the store we made our way home and put the groceries for our weekend celebration away. My dad was excited to use our new state of the art grill we had put in, and I couldn't wait to eat my dad's grilling!
I joined Ashley on the couch once I got the last bit put away. She had the TV on and I snuggled up next to her and she lifted up her arm for me to get closer with out taking her eyes off the TV. I smiled and kissed her on the cheek, she looked over at me and smiled and gave me a quick peck on the lips, pulled me closer and turned back to a DVR'd episode of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D list.
I lost track of time and must have drifted off because I was startled awake when the doorbell went off. I jumped a little and Ashley moved too, she must have been asleep too.
"What time is it?" I asked stretching.
"Ummm….4:30" she responded looking at the DVR box.
"Oh Crap" I jumped off the couch "That's either my parents or Glen and Chelsea or.." I was looking around and moving erratically trying to figure out if I need to straighten anything up.
"Spence, calm down, the house is clean. Go answer the door and I'll straighten up in here." I nodded and went towards the front door, still trying to fully wake up.
I opened the door and Kyla and Aiden were standing there holding bags and some casserole dishes.
"Hey guys! Sorry I took so long. Ash and I fell asleep on the couch" I gave an apologetic look.
"No problem" They said stepping in.
"Here, let me help you with something" I reached my hands out and grabbed some covered dishes from Kyla. "Aiden, if you just want you can run those up to your room".
When we were painting and decorating, I let everyone decide what room they wanted and what colors they wanted. I thought it would be a nice touch and I was creatively drained.
Aiden took off upstairs and Kyla followed me into the kitchen.
"Hey Ky" Ash said coming in the deck.
"Hey Ash. So are ready for this weekend. I mean everyone under one roof for a whole weekend?" She asked looking a little concerned.
"I think it will be fine" I replied quickly. "We have enough room and a whole ocean out there; I think we'll be fine."
The doorbell rang again and I kissed Ash and went to greet our guests. This weekend better work out…I'm only a little worried.
