Don't Get Me Wrong- Chapter 20
Spencer sat on the bed watching as Ashley started folding her clothes and placing them carefully into her suitcase. Feeling the need to act like a petulant child Spencer started removing the clothes as soon as Ashley packed them which initially went unnoticed by the brunette.
"Spence you are not making this easy" Ashley scolded but her stern expression soon melted when she caught sight of Spencer's pout and puppy dog eyes.
"I don't care" Spencer whined as she lay across the case much to Ashley's amusement.
"Spence do you really want to spend out last whole day together sulking?" Ashley questioned as she knelt down so she was eye level with Spencer.
"No but I just don't want it to be our last day"
"Neither do I but I still want to make the best of it. Do you really want one my last memories of you to be of you lying on my suitcase like a 5 year old?"
"You make it sound like we'll never see each other again? Are you trying to break up with me Ashley?" Spencer accused. Ashley shook her head and pulled Spencer so she was sat on the bed moving closer so that their foreheads were touching.
"Spencer Carlin I have NO intention of breaking up with you and I know for a fact that I will be seeing you again. I promise that I will be at the airport waiting for you with a big sign so everybody knows that you're mine" Ashley advised making Spencer look at her. Spencer smiled feeling relieved for a short while but she knew that the minute Ashley got on to that plane she would be a mess. Considering they had only known each other for 2 weeks they were insanely close. They had spent the last few days getting to know each other more and making plans for when Spencer returned to L.A.
"Ok I'll let you pack but just know that I'm not happy about it" Spencer finally replied keeping her pout firmly in place.
"I wouldn't expect anything less" Ashley smiled trying to hard the struggle she was feeling inside. It had taken a lot of convincing by Kyla to stop Ashley from staying on in Canada for the next few weeks. Kyla argued that Ashley needed to get back to her life and leave Spencer to hers for a while because otherwise when they were going to be too caught up in their own little bubble. Ashley understood where Kyla was coming from but the soppy girl inside just wanted to stay in that bubble forever mostly because Ashley knew that things would be a lot different in L.A. They both had lives that they needed to lead and these lives now needed to be adjusted so that they could continue with their budding romance.
Once Ashley had finished packing they went for a walk around the frozen lake just enjoying each other's company before Ashley had to leave for the airport. Spencer couldn't help but keep checking her watch as she counted down the time.
"Spencer if you don't stop checking your watch I'm going to throw you in the lake" Ashley threatened as she pulled Spencer's hand down from the watch checking position.
"It's frozen so good luck with that" Spencer replied sticking out her tongue. Ashley gasped at Spencer's quick witted ways and decided to take another route to torture the blonde. Ashley ran her glove covered hand across the small wall collecting a wad of snow. She patted the snow into a perfect spherical shape and raised an eyebrow at Spencer who looked a lot less cocky.
"You wouldn't?" Spencer stuttered.
"Oh I really would" Ashley replied with a smirk and without a second thought she launched the snowball at Spencer. It exploded on her blonde hair and sent flecks of white off in every direction much to Ashley's amusement. Spencer wiped her eyes clear of snow and looked over at a laughing Ashley. Spencer made a sudden movement and pounced at Ashley knocking her to the ground. Using her slight weight advantage Spencer managed to pin Ashley's flailing arms down with her knees leaving her own hands free. Spencer removed her gloves and then grabbed a hand full of snow. With a wicked smirk she lifted up Ashley's shirt exposing her abdomen and then shoved the snow up her shirt making the smaller scream. Ashley wiggled some more and managed to wiggle her arm free using it to pick up a small amount of snow and putting it down Spencer's pants. Spencer fell back onto the ground yelping from the cold making Ashley giggle with delight.
"Serves you right" Ashley sang as she sat on the floor pulling the damp snow from up her shirt.
"You fight dirty Davies and you made me all wet" Spencer replied with a lustful smile. Ashley crawled across the snow so she was close enough to press her mouth against Spencer's ear.
"Anytime beautiful" Ashley purred making Spencer shiver from her words rather than the snow. Spencer leaned in and kissed Ashley causing them both to warm up quickly. They both got lost in the kiss and were only aware of their environment when they heard a slight cough from above them. Spencer opened her eyes and there was an old couple waking their dog. Spencer muttered an apology and then grabbed Ashley's hand dragging her away at a fast speed. Once they were a safe distance Spencer came to a stop and couldn't help but let out a loud laugh.
"Oh my god did you see that woman's face?" Ashley laughed.
"I thought she was going to curse us or something" Spencer added as she caught her breathe.
"God I'm going to miss you" Ashley said from nowhere as she wrapped her arms tightly around Spencer. Spencer returned the hug whole heartedly and neither of them wanted to let go because they both knew that their time was coming to an end.
Spencer pulled back first only to kiss Ashley on the cheek as a sign of reassurance. They walked back to the chalet in silence knowing that talking wouldn't make anything any easier. Ashley had already dropped her case off so it could be loaded on to the coach with the others. As they entered the chalet where it all began random voices could be heard from all the rooms.
"Hey Spencer can I talk to you please?" Bella asked as she exited the kitchen.
"Sure"
"I was thinking that maybe you could to the airport run with the guests. I know I normally do it but I think it would be better if you did it this time" Bella offered. Spencer didn't need to say anything because the smile on the face said it all. She threw herself at Bella and hugged the oxygen from the girl's body. Ashley wrapped her arms around Bella as well to thank her for the opportunity to spend some more time with Spencer.
"Bella you are awesome thank you so much" Ashley said as she pulled away.
"Ashley it's the least I can do after everything you've done for me" Bella replied with a sincere smile. Over the past few days Ashley had seen a completely different side to Bella. She was more relaxed and chatty plus she seemed completely infatuated by Brody. They were an adorable couple and they argued like crazy but it was always playful and ended with a kiss.
"Plus we get the chalet to ourselves" Brody added with an eyebrow wiggle as she entered the room hip checking Spencer on her way.
"It's all making sense now" Spencer mused.
Slowly all the other guests started filtering into the room with their luggage. Everybody was tired and not looking forward the journey home especially as it would now include a sulking Ashley. Her friends were more than supportive of her relationship with Spencer but they all knew her well enough to expect that her annoyance would be taken out on them.
"So guys this is the boring part. We need to you fill out these questionnaires and be as honest as you like. Obviously you will say how great we are because you know we are plus we totally have a connection to you all now so if you give us a bad report we'll be making some home visits" Brody announced as Spencer handed out the forms to everybody including Ashley. Everybody laughed and happily started filling in the forms as requested.
"So I'll be taking you on the coach…" Spencer started.
"Is that just aimed at Ashley?" Aiden joked getting a high five from Chase making Spencer blush.
"Moving on. I'll be with you at the airport to make sure you all get checked in ok and then you're on your own. Brody has made some snacks for the journey so help yourselves. If you have any questions now is the time to ask" Spencer finished trying her best to side step Aiden's remark and also push the thought of taking Ashley on the coach to the back her mind.
"I have a question?" Ashley said after a moment even raising her hand to prove the point.
"Yes Ash"
"Can we make out on the back seat?" Ashley asked with a smug look on her face making everybody giggle. Spencer blushed once again and gave Ashley an 'I hate you right now' look. Everybody started grabbing their luggage as the coach was now waiting outside. The boys grabbed arms full of snacks and even helped with the heavier cases. Spencer walked over to Ashley and picked up her small travel bag.
"Do you I get a better rating if I make out with you on the coach?" Spencer asked as she leaned into Ashley.
"Depends how good you are" Ashley replied confidently.
"You know how good I am" Spencer whispered as she walked off leaving Ashley stunned which probably wouldn't be for the first time.
The coach journey was long but didn't seem long enough for the two girls who were snuggled up on the back seat. They had as planned made out for a while until Kyla told them off citing that it was unprofessional and icky. They had talked some more about places they wanted to take each other on Spencer's return to L.A. They had a number of disagreements on what is classed as the 'real' L.A with neither girl admitting defeat much to the others annoyance.
Spencer knew they were getting closer to the airport and she also knew that she would need to really act like a professional. Even though Ashley wasn't 'her guest' any more she was still flying with the travel company that Spencer worked for which meant that once they set foot in the airport they would have to act they weren't crazy about each other. Knowing that their close time was drawing near Spencer took a small box out of her pocket handing it to Ashley.
"What's this?" Ashley questioned as she turned the box around in her hand.
"It's just a gift….something to remember me by"
"Spencer trust me when I say I will have no problem remembering you. You are etched on to my brain for the rest of my life"
"Just open it Ash" Spencer pleaded and Ashley did. Inside the box was a simple silver chain with a silver snow flake pendant on the end. Ashley inspected the item and Spencer felt her own cheeks turning red.
"It's beautiful Spence" Ashley gasped.
"I know it's not anything fancy but I saw it and thought of you"
"Well I'm going to wear it every day and think of you" Ashley promised as Spencer helped her place it around her neck. They shared a sweet kiss as the coach came to a stop. Spencer felt her eyes tearing up which something she promised herself she wouldn't do but the thought of Ashley leaving was hitting her hard.
"Hey no tears Spencer. I'll be seeing you in 4 weeks and then we have forever to be together" Ashley whispered as she cupped Spencer's face. Everybody else exited the bus leaving them to have their moment. Ashley pulled Spencer into a tight hug and they stayed like that for a few minutes but it still didn't feel like enough. Pulling apart they shared one last kiss that neither of them wanted to end but they both knew that it needed to.
Everybody grabbed their stuff and got checked in. Spencer shared a hug with each other guests who thanked her for a great holiday and promised that they would see her in a few weeks more than likely glued to Ashley's side. Finally Spencer reached Ashley and the need to kiss her was running strong so they shared a stiff hug.
"I'm going to miss you" Spencer choked.
"I know….I'll miss you too. I've got to go Spence" Ashley said as she pulled away trying to be strong for both of them but her eyes deceived her as they were now glossy and sad. Spencer nodded and Ashley walked towards the security entrance where her friends were now waiting.
Spencer watched as Ashley walked away and no matter how much she tried to fight it she couldn't win and the tears started falling. In a moment of pure madness she pulled off her hoodie that represented the company she worked for and dropped it on the side. Without a second thought she shouted Ashley's name making her stop in her tracks. Ashley turned around and looked at Spencer with confused expression on her face. Spencer started running the short distance between them and without thinking Ashley dropped her travel bag on the ground and started running towards her girl. As they met in the middle Ashley literally jumped into Spencer's arms, wrapping her legs around her waist as they kissed each other like there was nobody else watching. The loud whooping from Ashley's friends made them pull apart. Spencer placed Ashley back onto her feet and they shared one last kiss.
"Won't you get into trouble?" Ashley questioned remembering why they hadn't kissed good bye in the first place.
"Fuck it" Spencer replied pulling Ashley's head towards hers and clashing their lips together for what would be the last time…well at least for 4 weeks.
