"You've got to be kidding me! You've got to be fucking kidding me!" Ashley said in obvious disbelief.
"Okay Leah, I know it's not your fault, but seriously how did you let this happen? You've got to do more research in the future chica." "Her hair looks good dark, though. I'll have to ask her who did those highlights they are fierce! If they have stylist that good here, I'm definitely investing in some property." Madison said.
"What the hell is she doing here?!" Kyla asked bursting into the kitchen.
"Can't we just kick her the fuck out?!" Ashley snapped. "I mean seriously, I don't want her here. See I knew I should've stayed in LA."
The room began to shrink around me and I felt smaller than Lil. I felt like at that moment everyone hated me and that was not going down. After all, I didn't even know it was that fucking Spencer! They couldn't blame me for that…
Could they?
"Okay look y'all…we're in my territory now. So, we're going to do things the polite way. We're going to go out there and try to make the most of this nightmare. I mean so far, she hasn't done anything crazy. So let's just see what happens, and if she tries anything crazy then we can kick her out." I ordered.
"Yes ma'am." Kyla said as she exited tugging Madison along with her.
At least Kyla and Madison looked somewhat satisfied with my plan, my wife on the other hand… Not so much.
"Leah." God, not the glare. I hate that glare. It's like she just burns a whole right through me when she does it.
"Ashley baby, don't worry okay. I got your back." I assured. "If that bitch tries anything, I promise you I'll cut her myself." I threatened.
"Baby…you're kind of violent, huh?" She smiled and brought me into her. "It's kind of sexy on you."
"Is it now?" I purred.
"Look I know I flipped out earlier, but I just never thought that I'd see her so soon after all the shit that went down. I was working on a 20 year plan of not seeing her, and I mean I loved her so much and she hurt me. I never thought I'd get over it…but I'm married to you now, and I know that none of the bullshit she may try can touch us." She confessed. "I mean look at you." She winked as she leaned in to kiss me passionately and I wanted to melt all over her.
"A-hem, um…Are you sure you want to go out there and have dinner? I mean, I have something a little better for you to eat right here and the beauty of it is that you won't even have to see her." I seductively pleaded.
"Leah, weren't you the one trying to get us out there in the first place?" She gave me the look that says she knew exactly what I was up to.
Truth be told, I didn't care that she knew. It wasn't like it was a secret, I'm hot, so is my wife, and emotional situations turn me on…Is that a crime?
"Yeah so… we can ditch 'em." I said biting her lip letting her know exactly what I wanted.
"Come on baby, let's go back in there, and I promise that I will take care of you later…I don't mind a midnight snack, do you?" She said biting me back and it only made me want to stall even longer.
I relented. "No, let's go….
They were all sitting at the table Lacy talking up a storm about Kyla and Aiden moving to Tallahassee and their baby. Spencer and Madison talking about how big Manuel has gotten and how Chelsea, I mean Chris', surgeries were going. Ashley looked a little stunned to see that things were going smoothly and I was more than relieved. We sat down, blessed the food and began to fill our plates.
I only hope this atmosphere will last all night.
"So Spence, where did you go after you left LA?" Aiden asked.
"I went to Europe, by way of Paris. Did some photography, fell in love and moved to Spain." She answered.
"Fell in Love?" Aiden asked.
"Oh that's so sweet, do I know them?" Madison asked.
"Yeah, I did and no you don't know her. I married a wonderful woman by the name of Lorena Anamaria Peña Velasquez." She looked like she was going to cry. "She was killed by a drunk driver a year and a half ago, and with nothing else left for me there. I came back to the states."
"Gosh Spencer, that must have been a really hard thing to go through. I'm so sorry." Kyla consoled. "I didn't know you could get married over in Spain. So that explains the name change. That had us all a little confused." She finished.
"Thanks and to be completely honest, neither did I until she asked me, and we went though the process…which isn't as trying as it is here in the states, believe it or not." Spencer informed.
The lively table took a more relaxed turn with the filling of empty bellies.
I heard about what Spencer had done from my new family, but I doubt they ever thought about her side of the story. I mean Madison got a baby out of the ordeal, Kyla and Aiden still got married and just had a baby of their own and I was married to the love of my life. So it couldn't be all that bad…
Could it?
"God Spence, I'm so sorry." Ashley said. "I'm not going to lie, I wanted you to hurt for a really long time, but I'd never wish anything like that for anyone. If anything ever happened to Leah…I don't know what I would do." Ashley said rubbing my hand.
"Yeah, it was hard for a while, but I took some time for me and I was okay… and eventually… I stop blaming myself. Then I ran into your sister while I was in Orlando, and meeting her made me believe that there is more than just one soul mate out there for you and that second chances are possible." Spencer finished.
"Wow you lived in Orlando, too? Spence I'm getting this worldly vibe from you. These past seven or eight years have really changed you." Aiden added.
"I guess. I mean after I left LA, I realized that I burned some serious bridges, and I didn't want to bring that trouble with me for the rest of my life. So I went through a serious overhaul, until I was happy with myself." She explained.
Spencer seemed really cool and knowledgeable about so many things. She had this vibe that was kind of all knowing, although I was still apprehensive about her. I mean this woman as cool as she may be, is still my wife's ex-fiancé.
"Don't let her fool you; she's still a little goofball. I'm usually the more refined one…So, is anyone going to tell me the story here or am I going to have to guess."
"Lacy, please shut up! If you just give me two seconds, I'm going to go in the kitchen and tell you everything, so please hear me the first time!"
"Okay. I will."
"Now, please salvage the ignorant question you just asked!"
"Lesbian."
"Whore."
"I mean how you guys scored a house like this in Tallahassee? Come on, what's the story here? Who did you kill? Or better yet, who'd you screw?" she saved it with a smile.
"Oh…well Aiden is an investment broker. He has his own firm back home, Dennison Dynasties, cool name huh? I own KyNational, a conglomerate encompassing publishing companies and talent agencies that span across the globe, and last be not least the lovely FreeRide Records, the record label that my sister and I run together. Excuse me, guys duty cries." She excused herself to feed Lil. "Come on, mommy knows you're hungry."
Honestly who invented that damned baby talk shit? I swear Kyla does it with or without little Leah being present.
"Wow! Looking at you guys, you wouldn't think that you guys were heavy into business like that. That's awesome. My sister and I always wanted to open a clothing store, for girls like us…with…big…attributes." Lacy confessed.
Damn my sister for giving away our secrets.
"That's really cool. I couldn't get into fashion with my sister because we have totally different styles, and here you two are. Having not seen each other in months and you still wear the same exact dress to a get together. That is so cool." Madison added.
"Yeah, I guess… I don't like it. Just because we're identical, people forget that we're two different people. Let alone two grown people." Lacy explained.
I could only nod in agreement, because she was right. I freaking hate when people ask shit like 'Are you guys sisters?' or 'If one twin gets hurt does the other feel it, like in that movie with Lindsey Lohan?'… These were actual questions we've been asked.
I excused myself and went to the kitchen as promised to my sister and began to tell her the story…without having to be interrupted.
"Lace?"
"Yeah?"
"Okay, so here's the story. Spencer and Ashley were engaged before we got together."
"Oh shit!…wait, so she's Ashley…the Ashley? Well, I knew that."
"Yeah and… wait, you did? Tell me exactly what do you know, and I'll fill in the rest if I need to."
"Well, Spencer told me that she was engaged to an Ashley, and that she got fucking hammered, cheated on her by sleeping with her sister's fiancé and had his child. She almost ruined their wedding and nearly ruined her own."
"Wait what do you mean, nearly?"
"Yeah, well she said that she and Ashley patched things up and moved forward with wedding plans, until Ashley mentioned that she wanted to have kids of her own. Spencer didn't really want kids, that's why she gave up her son to a friend to let her raise him as her own. She told me Ashley was pissed because she could carry her brother-in-law's child and not want to even consider mothering children with her fiancé at some point. So they broke up, and Spence lived with her parents for awhile then went to Europe."
"Okay, well you know everything. Now you just have names and faces to match the nameless and faceless characters she told you about."
"Oh okay, well come back out here, they are wondering where you are."
"Okay."
"So when are you and Leah going to think about having kids?" Madison asked.
"What?" I asked I was still dumfounded that Spencer was so honest with my sister. I was beginning to feel like she valued Lacy as her girlfriend, more than Ashley valued and trusted me as her wife.
"Ugh, I hate kids, I love my nephew but I don't want to have the crying little beasts. Never have" Ashley retorted.
WHAT?! Did my sister not just tell me that she ended a relationship over not being able to have kids with Spencer?
"Lacy did you hear that?"
"Yeah, I heard it."
"What do you think about that?"
"Well, you know we've always talked about raising our kids together and…wait a second, she wanted kids with Spencer, why not you?"
"I know right." I blurt out accidentally.
Apparently while I was talking to my sister I had been asked for a response to that question, and this is why I went into the kitchen the first time folks…To avoid shit like this!
"What are you talking about?" Madison asked.
"Oh… sorry, got lost in thought. I actually love children, and want some of my own one day…once we're done living it up, you know?" I said.
"So Ashley, what are you going to do? My sister wants kids and you don't how are you going to deal with that?" Lacy asked giving a knowing glance in my direction.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Really why are we having this conversation anyway? We have two mothers at this table let's leave the baby stuff to them." Ashley smiled.
I don't think I was turned on by her attitude this time. I would pick a fight with about it, but right now there are more pressing issues to deal with.
Something about Spencer in Ashley's presence just made me uncomfortable… or was it the other way around. I just need to spend more time around them. Maybe I have some sort of ex anxiety about Spencer. I just need to spend more time around her, maybe I'm just...Jealous?
"You know, I always thought Ash would be a great mom, if of course she ever gave it a chance. But I could never convince her to have kids with me." Spencer said as she sipped on her Riesling.
"Yeah, you handled that for me now didn't you Spence." I see where this is going…and for some reason I don't think I want to stop it.
"Ashley come on, you knew that was an accident?" Spencer scowled.
"Chicas, can we not do this here?" Madison interrupted.
"Yeah, come on guys can we not? This is our first day here. Can we try and get along before we hatch out old shit?" Aiden continued.
"No, let's get this shit out right now! What you did has never…You hurt me so bad. You single handedly fucked up my relationship with my family, and you went off and got married to some Spanish bitch, who probably didn't even know what you did! I can't believe I let my wife talk me into being nice to you! You're… such a…fucking bitch and I hate you."
"Yeah well, I hope you remember what you did to me Ash. Yeah I didn't forget either. I hope you've held onto all the things that went down." Spencer said calmly.
"Whatever, I'm sick of this shit!" Ashley yelled.
Ashley got up, went down the two hallways that led her back to our room and slammed the door… Leaving Aiden, Lacy, Madison and I totally unaware of what just happened. I think I need to have a private chat with Spencer, definitely before I go back to L.A.
"Hey guys. I finally got Leah down for bed. She's never cried that much before though." Kyla paused and took a sip of Aiden's red wine. "Mmm that's good, so what'd I miss… Where's Ashley?"
"She went to bed, I think?" Lacy said finally.
"Hey! I have a great idea… Okay so, we're going shopping in the morning to finish getting things for the house, and I know we could always use extra opinions. Leah has great taste, so I know you do too Lacy. I mean you guys are wearing the same dress for god sakes. And…since things are going so well…why don't you guys spend the night… we have plenty of room, and it'll be fun! " Poor Kyla… poor simple clueless Kyla. God love her.
"Baby, I'm pretty sure they'd want to get back home after a long night." Aiden said
"No no, I insist. We have more than enough room and that way we can finish getting to know each other...I don't want you guys leaving especially with alcohol in your systems."
Kyla was all smiles, and if you could only see the way everyone else was tethering looks back and forth, it was like it was a game of Clue.
"Okay… that's fine by me just point us in the direction of where we need to go." Spencer answered after a few moments.
"WHAT?!" My sister and I said in unison.
"Lacy, what the fuck is she doing?"
"No clue, but I don't all together know if I'm happy about it. I mean your wife is her ex after all."
"Yeah, that's kind of how I'm feeling. I didn't expect to have to deal with her."
"Me either, Lea."
"I think it's a great idea, besides Kyla wants us to help her out, and it's not like we have anything planned tomorrow, right?" Spencer asked.
"Excuse us a minute." Lacy said politely pulling Spencer to the side.
"Sure." Kyla said.
"Baby, what's the matter?"
"Are you sure you want to stay here after what just happened with Ashley? Are you sure that would be a wise decision, honey?"
"Sure, I know that Ashley is pretty mad at me, but it's good for us to get it out, you know? Besides, we're going to have to learn to get along for you and Leah's sake anyway, right?"
"Yeah, I guess … and I know Leah, she won't let her stay mad too long… So I guess I'm fine with it, but I want to make sure my sister is okay with it."
"Sure, absolutely."
Spencer and Lacy walked back in the room but I already knew the outcome of their discussion.
Oh okay, so another thing about my sister and I, not only can we communicate telepathically, but if we want to be nosy, we listen on conversations that the other twin is having. The beauty of it is that, it's totally selective. But this is one conversation I didn't want to take me by surprise. I mean honestly I have to be prepared to face the dragon lady at a moments notice. This is serious folks!
"So what's the verdict?" Madison asked.
"They're staying." I blurted out… Shit.
"You just had to do it, didn't you?"
"What? I don't know what you're talking about?"
"Whatever…Leah that's so messed up!"
"Love you"
"Lesbian."
"What? I can't get anything more creative?"
"Shut up, I'm ignoring you now…"
"Ha! You can't."
We giggled, and to everyone else it was totally random. Which made it that much funnier.
So we giggled again. See serial gigglers my sister and I.
"So, is she right or wrong... or are you two going to laugh all night long?" Madison joked.
"Yes, we're staying. How'd you know that Leah?" Lacy smiled.
"Oh I just guessed…I figured you missed me and wanted to stay." I giggled, then she giggled.
Yes we giggled again. I stand corrected, that may be a twin thing.
"Umm… Great! It's all settled then!" Kyla, the lovable ball of blissfully naïve sunshine that she is, bounced back upstairs to her baby… who was crying again. "Aiden honey, show them to one of the guest rooms."
"No problem." He happily agreed.
The rest of us were left to ponder what no one wanted even fathom… Who was going to tell Ashley?
"Hey baby you coming to bed... Oh you're still here?" Ashley said as she reentered.
"Yeah, they're actually staying the night with us! I'm going to call my husband and son now. Goodnight all… See you in the morning!" Madison laughed as she went to her room.
"Really? They're really staying here?!" Ashley asked.
"Yes baby, Kyla asked them to stay. Now let's go to bed, and I'll explain everything." I said ushering her back to our quarters. "Goodnight you guys."
"Well you better explain, or there's no midnight snack for you."
"Ashley that's not even fair." I whined.
"Ah ha ha-ha ha! Poor baby won't get her midnight snack."
"Lacy…that is so messed up!"
"What? I don't know what you're talking about?"
"You're such a cunt!"
"Lezzy."
We giggled.
"What's so god damn funny?" Ashley demanded.
"Nothing honey, just thinking about something my sister said." I saved.
"And what's that?" she asked.
Nosy Dragon Lady…
