Don't Get Me Wrong Chapter 9
Spencer's P.O.V
Kissing Ashley was one of Spencer's new favourite things. She had kissed a lot of girls since starting her job on the resort and not one of them compared to the stunning brunette. The two girls were currently sat on the sofa sharing stories and quick kisses but Spencer was more than aware of the time which meant that people would be home soon. Before she could vocalise the late hour they both jumped a few feet in the air when they heard Matty making the groups arrival very clearly. Spencer casually stood up and tried to act casual while Ashley continued to sit still.
"Ash I thought you were going back to bed?" Kyla asked as she sat next to her sister.
"I was in bed but I got hungry so came down here to get something to eat" Ashley lied.
"You should've called me I would've come back" Kyla scolded as she inspected the large bump on Ashley's head.
"I'm not an invalid Ky plus Spencer was here and she kindly made me a sandwich" Ashley explained hoping Spencer wouldn't mind her mentioning they had spent some time together.
"That's very nice of you Spencer" Kyla smirked as she finally clicked as to what was actually going on. Spencer looked away shyly and shrugged her shoulders at the remark.
"I was making one for myself anyway so it was no biggie. Anyway I'm gonna hit the sack" Spencer announced feeling a bit uneasy. Ashley quickly stood up and headed over to Spencer making sure nobody could hear them which wasn't a problem as they had already booted up the karaoke machine.
"I'm sorry about those guys and pay no attention to Kyla" Ashley smiled placing her hand on Spencer's shoulder.
"It's cool Ashley don't worry. I had fun tonight but I should really leave you guys to it" Spencer replied acting a little but distant. Having everybody barge in on them had snapped her back to reality and the fact that starting something with Ashley was a dangerous move on her part especially if she wanted to keep her job which was essential in her getting through college.
Ashley stared at the blonde for a few seconds and then admitted defeat so she offered Spencer a smile and turned back to her friend. Spencer felt mean suddenly changing attitudes towards Ashley but she couldn't risk it. Turning away she headed up the stairs to her room feeling Ashley's eyes burning into her with every step that she took.
Ashley's P.O.V
Ashley watched Spencer as she walked up the open stairs as if the change in her personality would be explained with every step she took. Ashley dropped herself on to the sofa next to Kyla who rubbed her affectionately.
"Sorry we interrupted whatever that was" Kyla whispered.
"Yea me too…..we kissed" Ashley admitted with a sly smile so only Kyla could hear her.
"Good for you"
"Not so sure about that Ky. The minute you guys rocked up she turned into Spencer the ice queen" Ashley sighed as she played with her phone.
"She probably just panicked Ash" Kyla sympathised.
"Yea maybe….I'm going to bed my head hurts" Ashley stated as she placed a kiss on Kyla's forehead while simultaneously waving good bye to the rest of her friends who were too enthralled by their own awful singing.
Ashley made her way to her room but just as she was about to open her door something stopped her. She had no idea what possessed her to do it but the next thing she knew she was knocking on Spencer's bedroom door. After a few short seconds and some mumblings the door swung open revealing a pyjama clad Spencer with bed hair to match.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't think you would actually be asleep" Ashley stuttered.
"I fall to sleep quickly" Spencer confessed as she pulled down her vest that had risen up while sleeping.
"So I see….look Spencer I know that this thing between us can't happen and I get that so I just wanted to say that I will back off if you want" Ashley advised not meaning a single word that came out of her mouth. Spencer sighed heavily and ran her fingers through her messy hair.
"I had fun tonight Ash, I really did but I can't risk losing my job. I like you, a lot and under any other circumstance I wouldn't be dumb enough to pass up being around you…"
"But….." Ashley interrupted knowing full well that there would be one.
"But it can't happen, I'm sorry" Spencer looked genuinely upset which made it worse for Ashley. She let the words sink in and then reapplied her Davies smile.
"I will back off then Spence. Thanks for tonight it was fun" Ashley said as she headed back to her room. The minute she was safely inside she dropped on to the bed and let out the breath she had been holding during the conversation. Ashley had never been rejected by a girl before and more than anything her ego hurt plus for the first time in a long time she found herself genuinely interested in a girl for more than her body and cheap thrills. She could tell that Spencer was special and despite everything she had just said to Spencer she was still going to try.
Spencer's P.O.V
The next morning Spencer woke up so she could help Brody out with breakfast plus they had to clean the whole chalet while the guests were off having fun. Spencer was dreading breakfast because she would have to face Ashley. Telling Ashley to back off was of the hardest things she has ever had to but it had to be done. The fact that Ashley's friends had just walked into the chalet and nearly caught them only made Spencer realise that that could have been Bella or even a manager who would rip her a new one on the spot if they caught her snuggled up with a guest.
Brody was singing quietly along to the radio as Spencer entered the kitchen.
"You have a nice voice Brod's" Spencer stated as she grabbed a slice of toast.
"I know" Brody smirked with her normal level of cockiness.
"Remind to never compliment you again" Spencer rolled her eyes.
"I thought you'd be more smiley after your little rendezvous last night" Brody teased with a glint in her eyes.
"I told her that I couldn't do it, her friends nearly caught us all snuggled up on the sofa which scared me" Spencer admitted.
"What did she say about it?"
"She was the one that offered to back off and then she seemed ok about it. Guess we'll find out shortly" Spencer predicted with a grimace.
"Looks like it will be sooner rather than later…go do your thing host" Brody pointed out as she shoved Spencer out of the door and into the dining room where the group were taking their seats including Ashley. The two girls caught each other's eye line and Ashley smiled at her politely with no hint of anger or bitterness.
"Morning guys, did you all sleep ok?" Spencer asked the group as she started pouring the coffee.
"No….this one sat up all night…." Matty started to say something but was stopped by a swift kick in the legs from both Ashley and Kyla.
"She was up all night with a bad head…you know from the accident yesterday" Matty grumbled as he rubbed his newly injured shins.
"Oh of course….how are you feeling Ashley?" Spencer asked as she poured some coffee for beautiful brunette.
"Fine actually guess it wasn't as bad as we thought" Ashley beamed as she sipped her fresh coffee. Spencer returned the smile.
"That's really good…glad you're ok" Spencer replied.
"So today is the weekly open mic night down loop bar. We have access to tickets so if you want to go let one of us know and we'll sort out the tickets. It's normally a good night and if you feel like singing you can do" Spencer explained.
"That sounds pretty cool" Madison stated as the rest of the group nodded their heads in agreement.
"Yea sounds awesome Spencer. We'll have tickets" Chase agreed.
"So will the rest of us" Kyla piped glaring at anyone that dared to disagree. Spencer nodded and sent a text to the manager of the bar so they could sort out tickets for the group. Spencer always went to the open mic night mostly because she was trying to get Brody to sing but her stubborn friend always refused. Spencer wasn't really talented when it came to singing but she played piano pretty well and always wanted to play for Brody.
"That's all sorted, just meet me by the door about 9ish. I won't be here for dinner but I'll see you all there" Spencer pointed out after she received the text she had been waiting for confirming the tickets had been booked.
"You'll be there?" Ashley asked out of nowhere.
"Yep I go every week" Spencer answered quickly.
"Awesome I'll see you there" Ashley promised with a confident smile which confused Spencer slightly. Heading back into the kitchen Spencer closed the door placing the coffee pot back on to the machine.
"Heard you selling the open mic night and before you ask no I'm not singing" Brody said as she added the finishing touches to her omelettes.
"Ashley is confusing me"
"Ok we're still talking about that. Why is Ashley confusing you?"
"She's fine; I mean she is still smiley and sweet to me"
"What did you expect Carlin? You guys had one sort of date plus that girl is hot and could have anybody she wanted" Brody harshly reminded her friend.
"I don't know I just thought she would be annoyed with me or something"
"Guess she's not bothered or she is but just doesn't want you to know that"
"Well they'll all be there tonight"
"So?"
"So maybe I can talk to her"
"Spence you told her to back off and for a very good reason"
"I know but that doesn't mean we can't be friends"
"Just don't mess with the poor girl Spence" Brody warned as she made her way into the dining room with the fresh breakfast she had prepared for them.
Spencer stayed hidden in the kitchen washing up and making up other things to do so wouldn't have to go back out there. She never expected Ashley to be heart broken or anything but she thought that there would at least be some atmosphere. After a while Brody gave Spencer the all clear so the two friends got on with their chores for the day. Between the two of them they agreed that Brody would clean Ashley's room.
After what seemed like forever they were finally done which meant they could finally hit the slopes again. Spencer quickly changed into her gear then headed off on her own needing some time to collect her thoughts and she always felt most at ease when boarding.
After an hour or so of boarding Spencer stopped outside a small bar to take a break. While she was sat chilling she spotted the guests from the chalet including Ashley who was currently talking to some blonde girl that wasn't Spencer. Spencer tried to look away but her vindictive side made her look harder and she couldn't deny the jealousy rushing through her body. Even after one semi-date and a few kisses Spencer knew that she liked Ashley and the crazy jealousy only confirmed that for her. Placing her sunglasses back over her eyes Spencer glided across the snow and without thinking she stopped next to the group who all seemed happy to see her.
"Hey guys" Spencer announced her arrival with a wave and a smile in true professional style.
"Hey Spencer" Everybody said in unison except Ashley who was still talking to the pretty blonde.
"Hey Milly" Spencer said recognising the blonde now she had a better look. Milly was a chalet girl for another company but they knew each other quite well. They had hooked up a few months ago during a drunken game of ring of fire. Milly smiled widely at Spencer and dropped her board in order to give her a hug. Ashley looked a little miffed but her smile was soon back.
"So is this your group Carlin?" Milly asked her eyes straying back to Ashley.
"Yep…where's your group?" Spencer asked still trying mask her jealousy.
"I've got a bunch of oldies this week…they're having their afternoon nap. I definitely prefer your group Carlin" Milly explained once again throwing a flirting look at Ashley who had similar look on her face and it definitely wasn't directed at Spencer.
"I bet you do" Spencer practically growled but luckily hardly anybody noticed as they were all talking amongst themselves.
"Anyway Carlin maybe I will see you at Loop tonight and Ashley I will definitely see you there" Milly announced with a wink aimed at Ashley. Spencer waved goodbye and turned her attention back to her group.
"Anyway I just saw you guys and thought I'd say hi….I'll leave you to it" Spencer said as she fixed her board to her one foot again preparing to glide to the lift.
"Wait you might as well board down with us" Ashley offered with a genuine smile this time.
"You sure?" Spencer questioned.
"Positive…come on" Ashley instructed as she fastened her boot and glided with Spencer in tow to the lift. It was another small lift so it was two per chair but Spencer figured it was ok as the rest of the group was with them. The beginning of the ride was pretty much silent until Spencer's jealousy got the better of her.
"So you're meeting Milly at Loop tonight?"
"Kind of" Ashley answered shyly.
"That's cool….erm how did you meet her?"
"I lost everybody earlier and then bumped into Mil on the lift, we got talking and then we ended up spending some of the morning together" Ashley confessed.
"Oh…that's cool" Spencer replied glumly.
"Spence I'm just doing what you asked me to" Ashley pointed out.
"I know and Milly is the perfect person to help you do that" Spencer stated with a slight pout. Ashley studied Spencer's expression for a while trying to make sense of the blonde and her comments.
"Oh my God you've slept with her haven't you?" Ashley exclaimed.
"No"
"You suck at lying"
"I do not" Spencer argued as she adjusted her body preparing to get off the lift. Both girls glided carefully to the top of the mountain.
"Were you jealous that I was talking to Milly?" Ashley challenged.
"Not at all" Spencer replied far too quickly which seemed to make Ashley smile.
"You were totally fucking jealous" Ashley whispered before she slid off down the mountain leaving Spencer speechless and still at the top. By the time Spencer had pulled her- self together and made it down the mountain Ashley was nowhere to be seen. Spencer kicked the snow in frustration and headed back towards the chalet.
Ashley's P.O.V
Ashley looked in mirror admiring her outfit knowing that would definitely do as intended. Her skin tight jeans and shredded band t-shirt were the perfect combination. She was dressing to impress and she had no problem admitting that to herself. Her messy curls were left hanging loose with her red fringe clipped back letting her chocolate eyes stand out on their own. Checking her reflection one last she headed down the stairs where everybody was waiting for her.
"Damn Ashley you look good" Madison squealed when her eyes landed on her friend. Ashley did a twirl and a bow for her friends' benefit.
"Thank you Maddy"
"Don't worry Spencer won't stand a chance when she sees you" Aiden noted getting a dig in the arm from Kyla.
"Damn it Aiden you weren't meant to say anything" Kyla snapped giving Ashley an apologetic look.
"Please we all know about you and the chalet girl Ash. We know about you're 'date' and I'm guessing something has gone wrong because breakfast was cold this morning" Madison interrupted while all the others nodded in agreement. Ashley rolled her eyes at her friends and grabbed her purse, clearly ready to leave.
"You all better keep you mouths shut…I mean it" Ashley snapped with a threatening look for each of her friends who all raised their hands claiming innocence.
Spencer's P.O.V
Spencer stood out the front of Loop waiting for her guests to arrive. The usual crowds were around and Spencer was enjoying seeing her friends. Catching up with some friends outside the bar Spencer was soon distracted when she heard a familiar husky voice. Turning around her eyes met with Ashley's for a few seconds before they scanned down her body seeing that she ditched a normal coat for the weather and was braving it in a leather biker jacket. She looked stunning and Spencer couldn't deny that and neither could her hormones. Wiping the dorky smile from her face Spencer greeted her group.
"Hey guys….glad you made it. Here are your tickets and I'll see you inside" Spencer explained as she handed out the tickets to each individual who thanked her and then she reached Ashley. Trying her best to act casual and remotely cool Spencer handed Ashley her ticket. The brunette studied the small piece of paper and then said something but Spencer had completely zoned out like a true idiot.
"Earth to Spence" Ashley giggled right in front of her snapping Spencer from her Ashley induced coma.
"Sorry what did you say?" Spencer asked while trying to fight a blush.
"Never mind….I'll see you in there" Ashley giggled again as she headed in leaving Spencer dumbfounded outside.
