Don't Get Me Wrong – Chapter 7

Spencer's P.O.V

The next morning Spencer woke up with the intention of finding a way around the stupid rules that meant she couldn't at least kiss Ashley. Brody seemed in a better mood than the previous day which meant she would possibly more willing to help Spencer. Bounding into the kitchen Spencer smiled at her best friend who returned the smile with a raised eyebrow.

"What do you want?" Brody asked as she turned her limited attention back to the bread she was making.

"Ashley" Spencer answered simply which caught Brody's attention.

"Bad idea Spencer. You know the rules and you know how strict they are here about them" Brody pointed out hating that she had to be the voice of reason. She could tell that there was some sort of connection between the two girls but she also didn't want her friend to get fired.

"I know but what if nobody knew and don't say that can't happen because it can"

"How?"

"Hate to bring this up but look at you and Bella, you would be in just as much as trouble as me if anybody found out" Spencer argued.

"There is nothing going on between me and Bella"

"Fine, whatever but I'm just saying that it can be hidden"

"Look Spencer I'm all for you two hooking up for a holiday fling or whatever and I'm not going to tell you that doing it in secret is a good idea so you're wasting your time here" Brody explained knowing that Spencer would do it with or without her blessing.

"I have tried to not flirt but I can't help it Brod and she totally flirts back which makes it near impossible. It's a viscous cycle of flirting and I can't handle it"

"First of all you and being overly dramatic Carlin. Secondly pull yourself together and finally just do whatever you want to but please, please, please be careful because I refuse to finish off the season without you" Brody snapped pointing a flour covered finger at her friend.

"I promise to be careful" Spencer practically sang as she danced into the dining room. She turned on the stereo quietly and continued her happy dance as she laid out the cutlery. Spencer's dance moves came to a halt when she heard a small applause behind her. Turning around already red faced she was relieved to see it wasn't Ashley but her sister stood laughing at her.

"Nice moves" Kyla laughed as she grabbed her self a coffee.

"I'm just going to go throw myself off that mountain over there" Spencer stated as she laid out the cereal.

"Please don't do that otherwise I will have a pretty pissed off sister to deal with" Kyla pleaded as she assisted Spencer with her cereal duty.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Spencer enquired acting dumb.

"Oh please, you know what and who I'm talking about"

"Ok maybe but why are you talking to me about it? Not that there's an 'it' to talk about by the way"

"True but there will be at some point during this trip. Well there will be if one of you make a move"

"You're pushy"

"And you're either a complete player or you're scared" Kyla replied with a smirk.

"You make a lot of assumptions"

"All of this is based on fact. I have seen you and Ashley together which covers the whole 'you two liking each other' theory, I have seen you flirting with that dark haired girl at the bar which covers the 'player' theory and you haven't made a move which covers the ' scared' theory" Kyla argued looking even more smug than she had done previously. Spencer was left speechless, she had never really spoken to Kyla before and now she was getting involved in her love life. Thanking all the gods in the world Spencer heard people making their way to the dining room.

As everybody walked in including Ashley the younger Davies sister turned to Spencer and leaned closer so nobody could hear her.

"Do something" Kyla said as she started talking to her friends. Spencer let out a loud moan and then turned on her professional smile once again but found it came naturally when she saw Ashley smiling back at her. Everybody took their seats and as usual Matty and Ashley sat in the corner sharing whispers and funny looks. Breakfast was served and devoured in record time. Everyone seemed excited to get back on the slopes especially now they knew where everything was. As the next day was Spencer and Brody's day off they were planning on spending most of the day making sure everything was done. Spencer didn't manage to talk to Ashley as everybody was running around getting ready to leave but they had shared a few smiles and sneaky glances.

After a long morning of cleaning and preparing dinner for that evening Spencer and Brody took some time to chill out on the decking. The sun was shining and they were able to pull out the sun chairs and enjoy the pleasant weather. Brody plugged in the ipod and grabbed some cans of pepsi placing them in the snow that surrounded them. It was a rare occurrence if Spencer didn't go boarding but the beautiful weather had helped her decide to just hang around the chalet plus the possibility of a certain brunette turning up.

"Why hasn't Bella been around today?" Spencer asked.

"Her boyfriend arrived today so she managed to get the day off to spend some time with him" Brody explained trying to sound impartial but her tone was anything but.

"Oh will she be around later?"

"I have no idea Spencer so please stop asking me. So how long are you going to hang around here today?" Brody asked changing the subject.

"I didn't feel like boarding today"

"You suck at lying Carlin"

"Well you suck at been honest. To prove you wrong I'm going to go to the shops" Spencer snapped as she walked off. She grabbed her work hoodie and ugg boots and headed into the small village. On her way to the market as she crossed the bottom of one of the slopes she spotted Ashley taking off her board. Ashley dropped her helmet on the snow and then slid out of her bindings. Spencer admired her from a distance and couldn't help but be amazed by Ashley in every way.

Before Spencer could think about it she was walking towards Ashley who was now sat on the snow catching her breathe.

"Giving up already?" Spencer asked as she stood next to Ashley who was now squinting in the sun to look up at Spencer.

"The slush is kicking my ass. You not been up there today?"

"No I wanted to get some stuff done before tomorrow"

"Why? What's tomorrow?"

"Mine and Brody's day off so you all have to fend for yourselves" Spencer explained as she put up her hand to help Ashley up which she gratefully took.

"Boo that sucks what are we all meant to do?" Ashley asked in mock annoyance.

"I know how selfish of us but I promise you that there are loads of great restaurants and places to go"

"Do you want to go to one with me?" Ashley requested catching Spencer off guard.

"I can't" Spencer replied knowing full the news of her going out for dinner with a guest would be spread around to the wrong people. Spencer felt bad as she looked at Ashley's dejected expression. Spencer stopped Ashley from walking so that they were looking at each other.

"Look Ashley..."

"It's ok Spencer you don't need to explain, it's fine I just got the wrong end of the stick" Ashley interrupted not wanting to hear the rejection speech.

"Trust me when I say you haven't got the wrong end of the stick. I would love to go out with you but I can't" Spencer advised still feeling bad.

"Because of Jenny?" Ashley snapped.

"God no. I can't date or fraternise with guests, it's part of my contract" Spencer confessed relieved that Ashley seemed calmer with that reason.

"That sucks...that really sucks and there's no way around it?" Ashley queried as she moved slightly closer to Spencer.

"We could hang out at the chalet together tomorrow night. Get rid of everybody else and just hang" Spencer suggested which seemed to please Ashley.

"Sounds good" Ashley beamed.

"Sounds perfect" Spencer smiled back caught up in the moment.
