Chapter 4- "Cuz I Can" Pink

Later that day after an afternoon of ex-boyfriend fumigation (seriously Aiden's gym bag reeked like something died inside of it) the girls got dolled up and headed out for dinner and drinks. Before that though, the girls made a pit stop at Goodwill and gave away all of Aiden's clothes and crap. Who said dumping your boy toy couldn't benefit the needy? Although both girls agreed that it was best to trash the stinky gym bag, they decided that the poor had in fact suffered enough.

Ashley opted to drive them in her black Porsche convertible instead of ridding the tail of Spencer's super cool Vespa®. Although Ashley really did enjoy their midnight strolls in the compact two-wheeled speedster through Los Angeles, tonight wasn't that kind of night. Well not with the kind of short skirts these girls were sporting.

Ashley was well aware of how cute Spencer looked driving her moped and that's probably the reason why she gave it to her as her high school graduation gift. Actually, Ashley decided she would buy her a car for graduation but Spencer's parents Paula and Arthur opposed the idea. Even though Ashley made a good case for how convenient it would be if Spencer had a brand new Porsche to drive back and forth between her dorm and her parents home, the Carlin's really stood their ground against it. Honestly Ashley just wanted to make sure Spencer could get around the large campus and to Ashley's loft as easily as possible, but since the Carlin's rejected the Porsche, Ashley though the Vespa® would be the next best option. This was of course after she found out Spencer was going to stay in Los Angeles for school and stopped sulking long enough to reward her for her excellent choice in higher education.

The two hotties pulled up to the valet, blasting the latest chart topper. Ashley always let Spencer pick the music even though she was such a music snob. Spencer was excited, she had never been to this particular bar before and Ashley had pretty much taken her everywhere that was anywhere in Los Angeles.

They walked straight into the bar/ club: no line, no fuss. It's Ashley Davies kids; we're talking the real deal here. The club was pretty big. It had an outdoor patio, a front indoor bar, a back indoor bar with a dance area, an outdoor bar with lounge cabanas, an indoor and outdoor dinning area and a bakery. Yeah it was huge and still really crowded.

"Oh my!! This place is so cool!!!" Spencer gushed as she marveled at the lit fireplace near the entrance. Yes the club even had a romantic fireplace!

"Wait till you try the wild berry martinis here" Ashley assured her. Spencer's eyes widened with desire. Spencer was a sucker for a good strong fruity drink and saint Ashley was well aware of this fact.

"Wow Cher!! I haven't heard this song in forever!!" Spencer bobbed her head off rhythm but was still adorable with her awkward moves. Ashley smiled at her goofy friend surprised that she even knew who Sonny's ex boo was. "Wow Ash!! There are a lot of attractive guys here… like all of them…" Spencer looks around noticing that all the guys there happened to be gorgeous and very fit. Before Spencer could even form a thought a very attractive and over enthusiastic hostess approached the even hotter couple.

"Hi Ms. Davies! Welcome back. We have your table waiting for you!" The hostess said as she gave them her biggest toothy grin.

"Come on Spencer!!! We have a table waiting for us!!!!" Ashley said mocking the hostess' over enthusiastic tone. Spencer pinched Ashley's exposed toned stomach and muttered for her to behave. Ashley apologized to Spencer as they followed the hostess to their table.

"Here you go ladies!! My name is Jennifer let me know if there is anything else I can help you with tonight. Your waitress will be here with you shortly!!!"

"Thank you Jennifer" Spencer said warmly.

"Thanks Jen" Ashley muttered not looking up from her menu. "So what do you think of this place?" Ashley asked her friend or maybe foe, she hadn't decided yet, not after that pinch.

"I like it! It looks like you do too!! I mean they know your name…. And you even have a table?" Spencer said incredulously.

Sure, Ashley liked to live it up but she had a short attention span so she never frequented a club often enough for her to have her own table, there are literally like a million bars in L.A. Spencer's brain started brewing again but Ashley quickly cut her off.

"Ok Spence before you start freaking out…"

"What? Why would I freak out??" Spencer stated offended. "Just because you're very familiar with a place that I've never even heard of… doesn't mean I'd freak out…" Spencer tried not to actually sound hurt, but it's hard because she was. The girl is sensitive and she just can't help it.

"See you're freaking out…"

"Am not!" Spencer replied trying to make that sound as mature as possible. She failed.

"Real mature Spence! So are you going to hear me out or are you just going to jump to a conclusion that involves me being in some kind of mafia?" Spencer's eyes widened. How the heck did Ashley know what she was thinking?

"You don't know me at all… but you may continue" She tried to hide her amused smile.

"Ok so…. I met this guy and he told me about this place and well I pretty much am 35% owner of this here joint… so what do you think?" Ashley grinned in anticipation.

"Wait! What? You met a guy and you bought a bar to impress him?"

"Ok who doesn't know who now!! Really Spence you know that's not my style!!" Ashley huffed in frustration at Spencer's skewed perception of her.

"I'm sorry but well… you met a guy… and you bought a bar?" Spencer said slowly to make sure they both understood what she heard.

"Well yes, but it's not like that!!!" Ashley stated irritated.

"Sorry… I didn't mean to…" Spencer whispered apologetically, her gaze on her own hands feeling ashamed for jumping to conclusions. Ashley feeling guilty about the mood change tried to move forward.

"It's ok… anyway so what do you think?" Ashley asked genuinely wanting to hear Spencer's opinion.

"I think this place is amazing!!! And there are so many gorgeous guys here…" She smiled and continued. "And now you kind of own it which is cool… and we'll be spending a lot of time here… although you'll find someone SOON because of how hot these guys are… like models with nicer chests than Aiden and better clothes and…." Spencer's rant trailed off, slowly coming to a realization as she looked around at all of the primped and manicured men in the vicinity. "Oh my god!!!" she yelled. "Is this a gay bar?" She whispered.

"Welcome to the Abbey!" Ashley grinned.
