Don't Get Me Wrong- Chapter 8
It was the morning of Ashley and Spencer's pseudo date and Spencer was beyond nervous. Even though it was her day she had been unable to lie in but she also didn't want to go down the stairs while the guests were around or more importantly while Spencer was there. She was now lying in bed listening to the hustle of everybody getting up, getting breakfast and most importantly leaving the apartment. Spencer had also heard Ashley singing in the shower only half an hour ago and she could help but be impressed.
Spencer had told Brody about the plan and she had agreed to stay away for the evening and in true Brody style she couldn't help but express her concerns over the plan. Spencer had promised her that she would be careful and that nobody would find out, once again Brody just rolled her eyes in disbelief.
Hearing a shuffling outside her door Spencer sat up waiting for a knock but that didn't come. Instead a slip of paper appeared from behind the door. Spencer jumped out of bed and inspected the paper. It appeared to be a hand written note:
Morning Spencer,
I don't have your number so here's mine 5559995559
Ax
Spencer smiled as she placed the note on her bedside table carefully punching the numbers into her phone. She figured she shouldn't text Ashley straight away otherwise she would just think it was strange that Spencer had been hiding in her room all morning.
Ashley's P.O.V
Ashley had spent most of the morning figuring a way of getting her friends to leave her alone in the chalet for the evening. They all knew about her crush on Spencer so would click straight away if she mentioned it and now that she privy to the reasons why Spencer couldn't go on a date with her she didn't want to make it obvious. As she casually glided along the flat of the mountain Ashley pulled out her phone to check for messages. She had left Spencer a note leaving her number in case the blonde wanted to cancel. Ashley smiled when she saw she had a message from an unregistered number.
Hey Ash,thnx 4 ur we still on 4 2nite?Sx
Ashley quickly texted back realising that she had received the text over an hour ago.
Definitely.i just need to get rid of my friends w/out them getting suspicious A xx
Ashley quickly placed the phone back inside her jacket as Matty approached. He of course was fully aware of what was supposed to be happening that evening and had volunteered just before the last run to help Ashley get rid of everyone.
"Was that lover girl?" Matty teased as he removed his helmet joining Ashley on her spot in the snow.
"Yep"
"What's up?"
"This needs to be kept quiet and they are all going to click if I try to be left alone" Ashley pointed out feeling defeated.
"I have an idea but it's quite drastic" Matty offered happy to see Ashley perk up slightly.
"I'm ok with drastic"
"Ok you need to hurt something" Matty suggested only getting a confused look from Ashley.
"Come again"
"That's what she said" Matt giggled and Ashley couldn't but join in in. It had been an ongoing thing between them for years and no matter how lame or juvenile it was they couldn't help themselves.
"Ok basically you need to fall over, fall off something, hit something and then that way you can just say you feel too sore or whatevs thus meaning you can stay at the chalet and Spencer can nurse you back to health" Matty explained in further detail.
"So you want me to damage myself?"
"To sum up yes"
"That's stupid Matty, I'm not going to deliberately injure myself so I can go on a secret date"
"I'm saying break a leg or cause any permanent damage"
"Oh in that case that's fine. Look there has to be a better way"
"Well you better think quickly because your sister is on her way closely followed by the others" Matty pointed to the top of the mountain that they had just come down and true to his word there were the rest of their friends. Ashley started to panic as her friends spotted them and planned their route down the mountain.
"Quick drop your board on my head" Ashley pleaded to a now confused Matty.
"What?"
"This was your idea genius. I figured a snowboard to the head won't damage me too much but it can cause concussion which would mean I can't do anything tonight"
"But won't that hurt?" Matty asked dumbly.
"No it will tickle!Of course it will hurt just drop hard enough to cause a bruise" Ashley instructed as she braced herself wondering when she had ever been so desperate to spend time with a girl or anyone for that matter. Matty stood up and grabbed his board, he looked at Ashley for her go ahead and she reluctantly nodded. With one last glance towards their friends Matty carefully dropped his snowboard sideways making sure that it was the flat of the board that connected with his best friends head.
Ashley felt the clunk and had never have expected it to hurt as much as it did. The sharp shooting pain made her go dizzy for a few seconds. Within seconds her sister was there yelling at Matty who just stared at Ashley apologising. Trying to blink the pain a way Ashley felt her guys get heavy.
Ashley forced her eyes open hoping the reflection from the snow and sun didn't sting too much but she was surprised by her surroundings. She was no longer at the foot of a mountain she was now in her room in the chalet. For a moment she considering the idea that she may have dreamt the whole self-harming scenario but the throbbing pain coming from above her right eyebrow was enough of a reminder to confirm that she had gone along with Matty's ridiculous plan. She decided to sit up immediately looking for her phone which was in her trouser pocket. She had a text from Spencer:
Hey any luck on getting every1 to go out?Sx
Ashley felt a bit dumb and didn't want to explain to her what she had done to herself so she decided to text after she spoken to her friends. Putting on a comfy hoodie she ventured down the stairs where she found her sister and Aiden sat down. Looking out the window she realised it was no dark which meant she had probably been out cold for a few hours.
"Hey Ash how are you feeling?" Kyla asked standing up to check her sister's injury.
"A bit fuzzy" Ashley groaned grabbing a bottle of water.
"I'm not surprised. Matty is such an idiot, he really caught you with his board"
"It was just an accident. Where is everybody?"
"They're getting ready to go out for a meal"
"Why aren't you?"
"I thought I'd stay here and make sure you were ok. You could have concussion or like a brain tumour"
"That's not over dramatic at all. Look Ky you go out and have fun. I'm probably just going to have a shower and then go back to bed" Ashley hoped Kyla would listen to her for once.
"But something could happen…"
"I am fine Kyla. Just go out and have fun. I will keep my phone on me at all times and will even send you texts with updates about my general help" Ashley promised which seemed to work. She knew her sister couldn't pass on a night out anyway.
"Ok but you have to call if you feel ill or anything" Kyla reasoned.
"Deal" Ashley hugged her sister and watched as she headed to her room to get changed. Aiden hung back after having been warned that he cannot be in their shared room while Kyla was changing.
"Aiden please make sure she has a good night and doesn't cut it short because of me"
"No worries but like she said please call if you feel bad or anything" Aiden repeated with a curious look.
"Promise, where's Matty?"
"Hot tub I think" Aiden replied in passing as he played on his phone.
"Cool well I'm going to go take a shower" Ashley stated as she climbed the stairs. Taking her phone out of her hoodie pocket Ashley wrote a text to Spencer.
All sorted be here in an hour A x
Spencer had been avoiding the chalet most of the day she had been snowboarding a lot of the day and had convinced her friend who lived above Loop Bar to let her shower and get ready there. Not that she was wearing anything fancy because that would draw attention to her. After her shower she threw on her skinny jeans, Ramones vest and Uggs. She dried her hair but left it messy which was kind of her signature look and then she applied a tiny bit of eye liner. After her shower she still hadn't heard back from Ashley was starting to worry that maybe she had changed her mind about the 'date'. Thankfully as she was sat at the bar having a beer her phone buzzed and it was from Ashley telling her to go over in an hour.
Can't wait see you then x
Spencer was meant to be meeting Brody at Loop but her friend still hadn't turned up which meant she was probably doing something with Bella while they had the chance.
"Hey sexy" A familiar voice purred from behind her. Sighing Spencer turned around preparing herself for the interaction.
"What's up Jen?" Spencer replied casually refusing to acknowledge the pet name.
"Not much, just about to start my shift but you already knew that right?" Jen replied with her smug smile that never seemed to leave her face.
"I forgot actually but thanks for reminding me, I'll be off now" Spencer stated as she grabbed her back pack and coat only to be stopped by Jen.
"Got somewhere to be?"
"Anywhere but here"
"Spencer I don't get why you're being like this….I thought we had something"
"We did and it was fun but it's over Jen" Spencer answered honestly.
"But Spencer I like you and we are really good together" Jenny argued running her finger down Spencer's arm making the blonde tingle.
"Yes we are great at the sex but that's about it Jen. That was fun for me but I'm over it now, sorry"
"Have you met somebody else?" Jenny asked looking genuinely upset which surprised Spencer beyond belief.
"No but I might do at some point and I don't want whatever was between us to get in the way" Spencer lied as she continued to walk away this time Jenny didn't stop her. Spencer was confused as to why Jenny was acting the way she was. She had always been quite dismissive of Spencer until she wanted her for something and that something was mostly sex. Spencer shook her head clear of any thoughts of Jen and focused on her evening with Ashley. She needed to go to the store to get some supplies and then she was going to head to the chalet.
Ashley had heard her friends leave so he knew she could leave her room. Although she did actually feel a litter fuzzy still and she had a massive lump above her right eye which wasn't the look she wanted for her first date with Spencer. She decided to wear her hair down so that her fringe covered most of the bruise hoping that she wouldn't have to explain it to Spencer. Checking her reflection was last time she admitted that she couldn't do much else about the lump and headed down stairs. She had no idea what was meant to happening once Spencer arrived but the blonde had text her back stating that she will sort everything out. Ashley grabbed herself a coffee and then sat on the oversized sofa trying her best to act casual for when Spencer arrived. After about 10 minutes Ashley heard the front door open and in walked the windswept blonde carrying some bags from the local market.
"Hey" Ashley said eyeing the girl that had just entered the room.
"Hey" Spencer replied simply as she was unable to put together any coherent thoughts as her eyes scanned over Ashley. She was wearing the tiniest jean shorts, with black tights underneath, a loose fitting vest time, oversized cardigan and she had her down in a curly mass. Spencer had thought Ashley was hot from the first time she looked at her but tonight she looked breathe taking.
"So I come baring gifts, well food anyway" Spencer finally said after standing and staring for seemed like forever. Spencer signalled for Ashley to follow her to the kitchen where she placed to the two bags on the side.
"Ok so I didn't know what you liked so I went kind of safe with pizza followed by a desert of cookie dough ice cream accompanied by whatever wine we have lying around here" Spencer said as she removed the items from the one bag.
"I'm guessing Brody is the chef around here?" Ashley joked looking at the pizza had bought.
"Ok I can't cook hence the pizza but if you are against the pizza I can do awesome grilled cheese"
"Sounds perfect" Ashley smiled.
"So how did you get rid of everybody?" Spencer asked as she started to prepare the cheese and bread for their gourmet meal.
"Told them I was tired" Ashley lied really not wanting to reveal the lengths she went through to get rid of her friends. She wasn't sure whether Spencer would find it cute or completely creepy.
"That simple?" Spencer challenge handing Ashley some wine glasses at which point the brunette froze. She remembered that Kyla said she couldn't drink because of the possible concussion so now she needed to tell another lie to get out of drinking.
"You ok Ash?" Spencer asked both hands still holding the wine glasses that Ashley had neglected to take from her.
"Erm, yea it's just that I don't really feel like drinking" Ashley explained hoping Spencer would just take it at face value. Spencer looked at Ashley strangely but seemed to accept her answer as she placed the glasses back in their rightful place much to Ashley's relief. Once she had placed the wine glasses back she grabbed two tumblers and filled them with milk which made Ashley laugh.
"If you're going straight edged then so am I" Spencer laughed as she passed Ashley her milk.
Spencer finished cooking the grilled cheese and then they sat down in front of the open fire as they ate their 'meal'.
"Best grilled cheese ever" Ashley announced as she took her first bite.
"You are a terrible liar Ashley Davies" Spencer pointed as she scrunched her face up wondering how she can even cook grilled cheese badly.
"Ok, it's not the best but it's edible" Ashley agreed taking smaller mouthfuls figuring she would fill up on ice cream after.
"Great, I only cook 'edible' grilled cheese"
"You have a lot more going for you though so don't worry too much" Ashley reassured the crest fallen blonde.
"Hmmm ok. So how was your day?" Spencer asked changing the subject from her as she desperately wanted to know more about Ashley.
"Eventful but good"
"Why eventful?"
"No reason in particular so how was your day? It was weird not having you guys at breakfast"
"Uneventful for the most part. Had a run in with Jen" Spencer confessed not wanting to lie to Ashley. Ashley was clearly affected by the confession, she suddenly felt a pang of jealousy cut through her and this showed on her face.
"Oh" Ashley replied simply.
"I told her that I had no interest in her what so ever and that whatever had been happening between the two of us was definitely over" Spencer quickly advised seeing the disheartened expression on Ashley's face.
"Really?"
"Yes really. Look Ash I know we have just met and that I shouldn't really be doing this but I have a feeling you'll be worth the risk" Spencer said honestly as she shyly used her nervous to move a piece of stray hair out of Ashley's face. The brunette blushed at the touch and the smile that had just disappeared had soon reappeared.
"What happened to your head?" Spencer suddenly asked kind of ruining the sweet moment. Ashley panicked knowing full well what she was talking about.
"Kind of got hit in the head earlier" Ashley answered.
"Hence the not drinking. Why didn't you tell me?" Spencer asked concerned as she inspected the bump much to Ashley's delight as it meant the blonde was even closer now.
"Because it's dumb"
"How did it happen?"
"Matty dropped his snowboard on my head"
"How?"
Ashley decided that she would have to tell Spencer otherwise somebody else would and then she would feel even dumber when later confronted about it. Standing up Ashley put the dirty dishes in the sink preparing her-self for Spencer to make her excuses and leave.
"I asked him to" Ashley whispered knowing full well that Spencer wouldn't have heard her properly.
"What?" Spencer asked again.
"I asked Matty to drop the damn thing on my head! I was struggling with ideas of how to get everybody out of the chalet without it being obvious so Matty suggested I injure myself. After very little discussion and planning he just dropped it but it caught me in an awkward position and kind of knocked me out" Ashley explained turning a deeper shade of red with every word that left her lips.
Spencer looked over at the red brunette on the other side of the room and didn't know how to react to the confession. For a moment they just stood apart looking at each other.
"Look I get that what I did was a bit weird and I swear I'm not some crazy girl that pulls stunts like that…..I'll leave you alone" Ashley tried again but she looked defeated.
"Wait Ash, why are you leaving?" Spencer asked quickly before the embarrassed girl ran up the stairs.
"Because I feel dumb and I've clearly freaked you out"
"Ash you haven't freaked me out" Spencer tried but Ashley clearly didn't believe her.
"What you did was possibly one of the sweetest things I have ever heard. I can't believe you actually injured yourself to spend time with me, it's incredible" Spencer admitted as she moved closer to Ashley who looked less ashamed.
"It's dumb"
"I'm going with cute"
"I've never been called cute before"
"Well you are cute, sweet, funny and incredibly sexy" Spencer stated as she edged closer to Ashley. There was literally a foot between to two girls now and they were both enjoying the proximity. Spencer reached out her hand and moved Ashley's hair out of the way so she could place a gentle kiss on the lump. Ashley winced slightly at the contact but the slight pain was soon eased when Spencer moved her lips from the lump to Ashley's lips. Within seconds of contact both girls were passionately engrossed in their first kiss, tongues battle for space and heavy breathes could be heard throughout the chalet. Ashley leaned into Spencer pushes her against the wall knocking the breath out of the taller girl but she didn't seem to mind. After a few minutes Ashley pulled away desperate for oxygen plus she was feeling slightly lightheaded. Pulling away she opened her eyes to look into glistening blue eyes that were now deep with want and need.
"Wow" Spencer breathed leaning her head against Ashley's as she accepted the fact that there was no way she could hide the fact that she was attracted to Ashley Davies.
