Don't Get Me Wrong Chapter 15
Spencer smiled as she applied the final bit to her make up. She could hear the guests down the stairs completely destroying Rhianna on karaoke. She could hear Ashley's husky laugh which only made going out for the evening more difficult but Spencer knew that her best friend needed her so she was willing to make the sacrifice. Grabbing her purse she shut her door and headed down the living area where Brody was probably already waiting. Spencer tugged on her stones vest top which she had customised on one of her boring days off. As she reached the bottom of the stairs her eyes immediately met with Ashley's and both girls' shared similar expressions. Ashley smiled her nose crinkling trade mark and Spencer felt her heart skip a beat or least she figured that was what the sensation was.
Nobody else in the room was paying any attention to the silent exchange which meant that they could smile at each other like absolute idiots without anybody mocking them. Ashley walked the short distance to the bottom of the stairs and took Spencer's hand in her own pulling her around the corner and out of sight.
"You look amazing" Ashley whispered as she leaned into kiss Spencer only for the blonde to pull back looking nervous.
"The wicked bitch has gone" Ashley smiled knowing why Spencer had pulled away. Spencer returned the smile and closed the small gap between them enjoying the taste of Ashley's coconut lip balm.
"Do you really have to go out?" Ashley sulked pulling Spencer closer. Spencer had explained the situation to Ashley after dinner when they were making out in her room and she completely understood.
"You know I do but I promise that we will have some alone time tomorrow" Spencer promised placing a soft kiss on the tip of Ashley's nose.
"I hate that you're such a good person" Ashley pouted.
"We all have our crosses to bear" Spencer replied as she pulled them back to the living room where nobody bothered to pay them any attention. They were too enthralled by Matty's overly dramatic version of like a virgin. Brody appeared from the kitchen sipping on a beer.
"You ready Spencer?" Brody asked as she pulled her coat on.
"Yep….see you guys later" Spencer said it to the group but she was looking at Ashley.
"Help yourselves to wine from the cellar and there are chips and dips on the side in the kitchen" Brody announced as she turned the lights off to her kitchen.
"Thanks Mom" Aiden teased getting a pillow thrown at him by Kyla.
"Hey don't anger the keeper of the booze" Chase piped up surprising both Brody and Spencer as they had barely heard him talk before especially not without Madison's permission. Spencer and Brody waved good bye and headed out to their favourite bar.
Once inside loop bar Brody found them a table while Spencer ordered some drinks. Spencer waited to be served and was more than annoyed to see that the bar maid was Jenny. Spencer put on a friendly smile and decided to be the bigger person.
"Hey you and Brod's up to your old tricks?" Jenny asked with a flirtatious smile causing Spencer to roll her eyes in annoyance.
"Can I get two Corona's please?" Spencer asked not willing to answer the question.
"Maybe" Jenny teased.
"Just get me the drinks Jenny I'm not in the mood"
"Jesus Spencer what crawled up your ass? You used to be fun and up for anything" Jenny snapped as she grabbed two beers.
"Things change Jenny" Spencer sighed getting fed up with Jenny already which only made her consider what she ever found attractive with this girl other than the obvious.
"That's $5 please" Jenny replied looking a little hurt. Spencer handed over the money and walked off relieved to be away from Jenny.
"What was uber skank saying?" Brody queried as she pushed the lime into her drink.
"I don't know I stopped listening. Anyway so how you doing?" Spencer asked changing the subject quickly.
"Pretty shitty…..I really like Bella but it has become painfully obvious that she was using me"
"What did she say earlier in the kitchen?"
"She tried to apologise for what she had said earlier about us being just a bit of fun" Brody scoffed.
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"No because she is still with her stupid boyfriend tonight and I'm sat here with you" Brody snapped.
"You sure know how to make a girl feel special Brods" Spencer laughed making her friend smile.
"You know what I mean plus I know that you would rather be back at the chalet 'unjamming' Ashley's door" Brody joked making Spencer feign surprise at such accusations.
"Get your mind out of the gutter perv. Brody what would you do if Bella and her jockstrap walked in here?" Spencer asked suddenly as the smile slipped off her face. Brody followed Spencer's gaze and she couldn't hide her disappointment.
"Fuck Spencer….what do I do?" Brody hissed as she turned back to her friend not wanting Bella to see them.
"Well the Brody I know and love would march her sweet ass over there and make Bella squirm in front of Abercrombie moulded boyfriend….or you can sit here and hide behind a menu….oh too late Bella spotted us and appears to be walking over" Spencer commented as she tried to act casual.
"Hey guys what are you doing here?" Bella asked with a professional smile on her face. Brody was showing more interest in her bottle of beer than her secret lover.
"Drinking" Spencer deadpanned not returning the fake smile that Bella had offered her. Spencer looked to Bella's side and her dumb looking boyfriend was stood next to her flashing his super model smile. Spencer was never one to cause drama but her best friend was clearly hurting and she was feeling very protective.
"Hi who are you?" Spencer asked the guy much to Brody and Bella's annoyance.
"I'm Jacob….Bella's boyfriend" He politely replied shaking Spencer's hand.
"Boyfriend? You never mentioned you had a boyfriend Bells….how sneaky of you" Spencer smiled trying her best to feign ignorance. Bella's face went from fake smile to full bitch glare and Brody suddenly became far more interested in her surroundings.
"Well I'm Spencer and this is Brody. We work with Bella at the Chalet. We're all really close which is why I find it so weird that she's never mentioned you before" Spencer continued.
"Don't be silly Spencer you must remember me mentioning Jacob….you're clearly too distracted by our guests to focus on anything else" Bella smirked which was like a verbal bitch slap. Spencer knew exactly what Bella was implying and she wasn't above drop kicking her but the pleading look on Brody's face was the only thing that stopped her.
"Oh right yea I guess I remember you saying something before. Do guys want to join us?" Spencer asked pleasantly knowing that she would have to torture Bella in another way. Bella immediately started shaking her head but Jacob offered both girls a friendly smile and pulled up a seat.
"That's really sweet of you both. Come on Bella we can hang here for a bit and then go out for dinner" Jacob offered only getting a scowl in return but he soon shook it off as he turned his attention back to the table. Spencer and Brody shared a look that implied Brody would kill Spencer as soon as this was over but Spencer didn't care as she would explain her actions later.
"Hey Jacob do you play foozball?" Spencer asked nodded towards the free table.
"Yea I love it, we have one at the frat house"
"Of course you do" Brody mocked but only Bella seemed to hear her.
"Cool guys we'll be back in a minute. I'm going to kick your cute boyfriends butt" Spencer announced as she sauntered over to the table closely followed by Jacob.
Brody's P.O.V
"What the hell Brody?" Bella snapped as she as Jacob and Spencer were out of hearing distance.
"You know what Spencer's like I have no control over that mouth of her" Brody hissed back trying to act unaffected by Bella's presence.
"Yea well the same thing can be said for me" Bella snapped.
"Bella I know you and I know that this super bitch attitude is fake so drop it. I know that you would never say anything about Spencer and Ashley. I also happen to know Spencer would never say anything about you know what to Jacob"
"Then what was with all the comments?"
"She's just looking out for me, she's my best friend and she actually cares about me" Brody whispered. Bella looked around the bar and leaned closer to say something but obviously didn't feel she could so instead she grabbed Brody's hand and dragged her to the toilet.
"Jesus Brody I care about you and you know I do" Bella finally said once they were safely in the bathroom.
"Do I? Because most of our conversations recently have evolved around you telling me how little I mean to you so excuse me for getting a bit of a complex" Brody argued.
"I panicked when I found out that Jacob was visiting. I just didn't expect it I mean we were drifting apart before I came here so I just figured that things would come to an end when I went home" Bella explained clearly fed up with the situation.
"But let me guess now that he's here you feel like you two crazy kids can really make a go at things?"
"The opposite actually" Bella replied her eyes to the ground.
"What does that even mean?" Brody demanded.
"It means that I really like you Brody and that I am scared because this isn't mean. I'm not gay and I don't date girls but I want to date you"
"Well I'm a girl Bella. A girl that dates girls so we have a problem here plus I have slept with a lot of 'straight' girls in my life and you want to know something funny? They all turned out to be fucking gay!" Brody raised her voice towards the end of her rant causing Bella to properly look at her.
"I don't know what I want" Bella cried.
"Yes you do Bells, you know exactly what you want but you're too goddam stubborn and scared to go for it. You want the perfect life with the perfect husband but deep, deep down you know that you will be fucking miserable because that's not who you are and it's definitely not what you want" Brody snapped as she exited the bathroom her veins pumping with adrenaline. She located Spencer still playing with Jacob and grabbed her arm.
"We're leaving" Brody explained and that was all Spencer needed to know because she could see the tears in her best friends eyes. Spencer offered Jacob a goodbye wave and they left the bar. Brody stopped by a bench in the smoking area and pulled out her cigarettes offering one to Spencer.
"I'm sorry Brody I shouldn't have got involved" Spencer sighed as she inhaled her smoke.
"It's fine you were just protecting me kind of a like an angry puppy"
"What happened in the bathroom?"
"Words were had, things were said and I'm more confused than ever"
"Why?"
"Because she just told me that she thought that her and jock strap were probably going to break up when she went home and then I flipped and then I left" Brody explained. There sharing was soon interrupted by Jenny who walked out the bar with a huge smile on her face.
"Well, well, well if it isn't my two favourite lesbians"
"Go away slutbag" Brody snapped really not in the mood to deal with Jenny.
"You should probably be nice to me young lady because I just heard the most interesting thing"
"Oh really?"
"Well you see I was just in the bathroom and two rather angry sounding girls were in there having 'words'"
"If you have a point can you please get to it?" Spencer interrupted.
"Ok long story short. I know about you and 'Ashley' and I also know about Brody and that other uptight chick you hang around with" Jenny explained looking very pleased with her- self.
"Were you hiding in the bathroom when me and Bella were talking?" Brody asked looking even more annoyed by Jenn'ys presence.
"Well it was rude not to"
"What kind of psychopath hides in a bathroom while two people are talking?" Brody shouted getting in Jenny's face only to be pulled back by Spencer.
"What do you want?" Spencer asked standing closer to Jenny so that Brody wouldn't attack again.
"You" Jenny replied simply as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Me? Why the hell would you want me? I hate you!" Spencer argued.
"Spencer we had fun together and I know I fucked it up but I like you and I really want to try again with you" Jenny continued to a bemused looking Spencer and an angry Brody.
"No chance Jenny. You cheated on me and lied to me on more than one occasion plus I have no interest in anybody else"
"Because you're dating the rock stars daughter right?"
"How did you know that?"
"I recognise her from the L.A club scene, she has quite the reputation that one does"
"Jenny you're a good looking girl and you could trick anybody into going out with you so are you forcing me?"
"I'm not forcing you Spencer. I'm simply giving you the option. I just really don't want to tell anybody about what's going on" Jenny threatened.
"You have no proof" Spencer challenged but Jenny just laughed in her face.
"Oh really?" Jenny replied getting her phone and then handing it to Spencer. Spencer couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the photo of her and Ashley kissing on the ice rink.
"How the fuck did you get this?" Spencer yelled going to delete it.
"There's no point Spence I have it on my laptop too. Let's just say I have my ways. So anyway I'll leave you to think about this and let's we can meet here tomorrow at 7pm for our date" Jenny advised as she slowly pecked Spencer on the cheek then she disappeared back into the bar.
"Spencer I am so sorry" Brody tried but Spencer couldn't hear anything other than the pounding of her heart. There was no way she was ready to stop things with Ashley especially not for somebody like Jenny.
"Why were talking about me and Ashley in public? Fuck Brody!" Spencer asked as she kicked some snow in sheer frustration.
"I was just saying to Bella that I knew she would never tell on you two. I didn't think to check the stalls, I'm so sorry Spence"
"It's not your fault….fuck what am I going to do? Jenny is certifiably insane and I know she would expose us both if I don't go through with this"
"Maybe you can just explain to Ashley and she will understand?" Brody pondered as they abandoned their evening out and headed back to the chalet.
"Would you understand a new love interest dumping you for some crazy skank bag for the sake of a few grand?"
"Not when you say it like that I wouldn't but maybe Ashley will agree to it. I mean it will only be for a few weeks until the end of the season. It's not like she can force you to kiss her or anything"
"Brody this is a girl who has spy pictures of me and hid in a bathroom while you were spilling your heart to your straight semi-girlfriend"
"Ok fair point and harsh dig dude"
Spencer smiled an apology as they opened the front door to the chalet. There was still noise coming from the living room which wasn't surprising considering they had only been gone less than an hour. Spencer didn't want to face Ashley but knew she had to otherwise it would make things much worse. Slipping off her coat Spencer poked her head around the wall to see all the guests including Ashley watching a film on the sofa. Spencer's heart actually sighed as her eyes swept across Ashley's soft features and glistening eyes.
"You're back early" Matty pointed out as he lifted his head from Ashley's lap.
"Yea it was pretty lame so I dragged Spencer back" Brody interrupted which Spencer was grateful for. Ashley smiled at Spencer and patted the sofa next to her as a request for Spencer to join them. Spencer figured there would be no harm in putting off the inevitable for a while longer so she walked over and sat down. Within seconds Ashley was snuggled up close to her and it only made her heart ache even more because in that moment everything felt perfect and she was able to forget the drama that had happened in the last hour.
