Don't Get Me Wrong- Chapter 2
Spencer sat on the sideboard as Brody mixed some sort of sauce that she would be adding to the dinner she had been preparing. Brody was the chef and a great one at that when she put her mind to it.
"So you and Bella?" Spencer asked knowing full well that Brody would refuse to comment.
"There is no me and Bella so drop it Carlin" Brody warned.
"I saw the look earlier, she was totally jealous that you were checking out that Ashley chick" Spencer added as she chewed on a carrot stick like a small child watching their parent cook.
"You are clearly still drunk and I can check out whoever I want"
"Convincing" Spencer laughed getting a stray potato thrown at her.
"So you were checking out Ashley then?" Spencer pried as hopped off the counter.
"Just as much as you were Carlin" Brody replied knowing where this conversation was going.
"I have no idea what you are talking about"
"Of course you don't and just so you are aware there are very strict rules about fraternising with the guests Carlin" Brody pointed out giving Spencer a warning glance.
"I would never do such a thing plus I'm hooking up with Jenny at the moment" Spencer explained as she exited the kitchen. Brody popped her head through the door without thinking.
"Jenny is a walking STD so I would really discourage any hooking up" Brody tried to lower her voice as she spotted Ashley on the last step of the stairs. Spencer scowled at her friend and Brody threw her an apologetic smile before jumping back into the kitchen.
"She smokes crack so don't listen to anything she says" Spencer said after standing still and in silence for a few seconds while Ashley smiled at Brody's comment.
"So she smokes crack and you hook up with skanks should I be asking for a chalet exchange?" Ashley replied as she pulled her hoodie on.
"Probably, we are quite dangerous and all the other chalet hosts are scared of us"
"I doubt that very much for some reason"
"Hmmm, I suppose I don't pull off the whole 'danger' thing huh?"
"Nope I'm afraid not. Is it cool if I smoke on the decking?" Ashley asked pointing to the door.
"Yes as long as I can steal one from you?"
"Ok but don't stand too close I don't want to catch anything" Ashley joked as they headed outside. Ashley looked across the landscape and couldn't help but be stunned into silence.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Spencer asked following Ashley's gaze.
"Stunning, you are so lucky getting to see this every morning" Ashley exclaimed lighting her cigarette and passing the light to Spencer.
"I guess I am. Have you been here before?"
"No, I normally go to Europe but my sister begged me to come here"
"I'm guessing the little angry one is the sister?"
"Yep that's Kyla but to be fair her dumbass boyfriend did cheat on her"
"Why is she still here with him?"
"I have no idea I try not to get involved in the drama"
"Good choice drama sucks" Spencer agreed trying her best not to check out Ashley who had changed her clothes since arrival. She was now wearing skinny jeans and an oversized Hurley hoodie. Her hair was still in a messy ponytail but she was wearing glasses which made her a thousand times hotter Spencer thought to herself.
"So what do chalet girl duties involve?" Ashley asked turning to look up at Spencer.
"Cleaning up your mess, serving you food and booze. Showing you guys around the resort, cool places to hang, best slopes and all that" Spencer answered.
"What perks do you get?"
"I can board most of the day for free, I know most of the bar staff so I get free drinks in pretty much every bar and sometimes the people that we look after are actually fun so I guess that's a perk"
"Not bad, so what do you think of my group?"
"Everyone seems ok" Spencer replied lamely feeling like she was being put on the spot. Ashley smiled at Spencer's shyness which caused her nose to crinkle slightly.
"I guess we will all just have to try harder won't we?" Ashley asked in a huskier voice as she dropped her fag into the ashtray while walking past Spencer. The blonde stood stunned on the decking for a few seconds as she watched Ashley head up the stairs with all the confidence in the world. Shaking herself out of her daze Spencer stormed back into the kitchen.
"I am screwed" She announced to Brody who looked confused.
"Gonna need some information there Spencer"
"Ashley just totally flirted with me and it actually made me speechless" Spencer explained as she paced the kitchen.
"Chill Carlin, plenty of girls have flirted with you before now" Brody rationalised.
"I know but none of them have flirted me to silence"
"Dude you're hung over and tired that's all"
"You're right Brods" Spencer agreed as she calmed down.
"I know. Now you have finished your Barbie moment can you please set the table?" Brody asked. Spencer complied and headed into the dining room to do her chalet girl duties.
The guests started filtering into the room around 7ish and Spencer served wine to them all and made pointless conversation so everybody would feel at ease. She had noticed that Ashley hadn't appeared yet and she tried to act casual. Finally a noise from upstairs interrupted the conversation and then shortly after Ashley and Matty came bounding down the stairs.
"Hello beautiful people and Aiden" Matty laughed grabbing a wine glass.
"Fuck you Matty" Aiden snapped as she sat miserably in the corner on the opposite of the room to Kyla.
"Maybe later stud but I'm tops" Matt replied camping the statement up some more for Aiden's sake.
"Leave him alone Matt" Ashley warned knowing Aiden would kill Matty if he actually snapped.
"Fine! Spencer can you fill me up dear?" Matty asked waving his wine glass in front of Spencer who happily poured as requested.
"Thank you"
"No problem. Ashley do you want wine?" Spencer asked just trying to be a good host.
"Sure but I can do it myself" Ashley offered feeling awkward that she was being waiting on. Normally she didn't mind but for some reason having Spencer do it felt weird. Spencer refused to let Ashley do it and poured her a glass handing it back to her with a smile.
"Thank you Spencer" Ashley said as she sipped her wine.
"Thank you Spencer" Matty mocked again under his breathe getting an elbow in the ribs from Ashley.
"So people are we getting on it tonight?" Chase asked making Spencer realise that was the first she had heard him talk.
"Silly question Chase" Ashley answered on behalf of the group.
"I might stay in" Aiden grumbled from his corner.
"Oh for the love of God Aiden stop been such a whiney bitch. You got dumped not murdered so stop with the woe is me act" Matty snapped clearly fed up with Aiden's attitude.
"Leave it Matt" Ashley warned again as Aiden stormed off closely followed by Kyla.
"Nice move princess" Chase added as he pulled himself away from Madison who was sat on his lap.
"Ooook so dinner will be ready in 5. If you guys do want to head into the village we will be more than happy to take you so just let one of us know" Spencer interrupted feeling like she could slice the tension in the room with a knife.
"We're going out Spencer" Ashley replied as nobody else did.
