"Wake up bitches; we are going out for breakfast!" I hear Chelsea yell effectively waking me up from my peaceful sleep.
"Later" I mumble with my eyes still closed.
I turn to the other side of the bed, and when I do I feel a hand around my waist pull me back. I quickly open my eyes at this gesture. I look behind me and see Ashley with her hair a mess and eyes shut. She looks so adorable, I can just sit here and watch her sleep all day, you know in the non-creepy way. I hear someone clear their throat and I look up at the door. Both Carmen and Chelsea are standing there with matching smirks. I just roll my eyes at them and lay back down.
"Uh no get your ass up, I'm hungry." This time that was Carmen. They really know how to ruin my cuddle time, bitches.
"Ten more minutes, Aiden" Ashley whines. And that officially ruined cuddle time.
"Ashley wake up" I slightly nudge her. She opens her eyes at the sound of my voice. She starts smiling until suddenly she gets a worried look on her face. She moves her arm from around me suddenly.
"I am so sorry Spencer; I guess I moved during the night."
I laugh at how worried she seems to be. "It's really ok Ash, I slept good last night so no complaints here." That seems to relax her and the worried look she was wearing is now gone.
"This is cute and all, but can we go now?" Carmen asks impatiently from the door.
"Alright alright we are up, calm down." I said as I made my way to the bathroom.
About a half hour later, we were in the car and on our way to Denny's. This time I was driving, so Ashley in the passenger seat with the lovers in the back.
At Denny's, I sat next to Ashley of course and yet again she sat closer than most friends would. I just do not understand her. I mean does she know how I feel about her? But she is straight, so wouldn't she freak out if she found out that I liked her? I am so confused.
"So did you get any numbers from some hot girls last night Spencer?" Carmen blurts out. I stare at her with my eyes bugged out and Chelsea hits her side. "What?" I put my head in my hands and wait for what happens.
"Ashley didn't know that Spencer was into girls, you just outed her!" Chelsea all but yells at Carmen.
Carmen's eyes go wide. "Oh shit, I thought Ashley knew already! I am so sorry Spencer."
"It's ok Carmen; I mean she was going to find out eventually." I sigh and wait for Ashley to say something, just anything.
"Spencer" Ashley said to me. I turn my head to face her. "Did you think I wouldn't want to be your friend anymore or something?"
I shrug my shoulders "I don't know, I didn't really know what to expect."
"I don't care that you're gay, I like you for you not for who you like. Even though we've only been friends for about two days, I can tell we will be friends for a really long time." She smiles at me and I return it.
"Thank you Ashley. I was just worried because no one really knows, I mean not even Glen knows." I admit.
"Well your secret is safe with me."
"Thank you." I smile at her. The rest of breakfast consisted of me just sitting there realizing that maybe being gay wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
After breakfast, we got back in the car and headed towards Chelsea's house. Five minutes into the drive, Ashley's phone started ringing.
"Hello…I'm still with Spencer, Chelsea, and Carmen…I don't know why…Can't it wait until later?" She seems to be getting mad with whoever is on the other line. I'm happy that she seems to want to stay with us, but I have a feeling that she is about to leave. "What happened…fine Aiden, I will be there soon…yea whatever…bye." She slammed her phone down on her lap and sighed.
"Is everything ok?" I question. It seems like something was seriously wrong.
"Yes, but Aiden needs to talk to me about something. Do you mind dropping me off at his house?" She asks so sweetly, how can I deny her anything?
"Yea, no problem."
"Thanks, Spence."
The ride is silent for the entire fifteen minutes to Aiden's house, so that means I had time to think. And I came to realize that I really hate a lot of things right now. I really hate that she is leaving so soon. I really hate that she is straight. And I really hate that she is with Aiden.
I pull up to his house and my knuckles are white from gripping the steering wheel so hard. Releasing my hands from the steering wheel, I put the car in park.
"Thank you for dropping me off."
"No problem."
"I had fun yesterday, we should do it again." She said only looking at me.
Chelsea, of course chooses this moment to jump in the conversation, "We definitely should!" Ashley then tore her gaze away from me and looked in the back at Carmen and Chelsea.
"Thank you for letting me stay over last night." She said to Chelsea. "And it was nice meeting you, Carmen." Aww how polite is she? "I'll see you at school on Monday, bye." Ashley said looking at me and then got out of the car. I watched her until she got to the door.
"So where to now?" I ask looking in the rearview mirror.
"To my place, we still need to have a little talk." Chelsea said with a grin.
"Oh good, I get to grill you two now." I smile and pull out of Aiden's driveway.
When we finally made our way back to Chelsea's house ten minutes later and I already missed Ashley. It's pathetic, I know.
"When did you know you were gay Chelsea?" I ask when we sat in the living room.
"Umm while I was dating your brother actually, that's why you haven't seen me with anyone since him."
"That does explain a lot. How did you know?"
She sighed and kind of looked embarrassed to say. And now I was really curious to see what she was going to say. She mumbled something, but I had no idea what she said. Carmen just started laughing, and that only made me want to know even more.
"Babe you will have to speak up, I don't think Spencer heard you." Carmen said in between laughs.
"I said, I realized it when I started looking at you in a more than friendly way." She said quickly. My eyes widened and I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. "At first I just ignored it, but then it started happening almost every time I saw you."
Finally finding my voice I say, "What? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't tell you because I didn't know how you would react. I mean you know how your mother is. I thought that you felt the same way she did. And imagine if I did tell you, do you think we would still be best friends?"
"Oh." I said and then thought for a minute. "Wait, do you still feel that way? Do you still look at me like that?"
She laughs. "Uh no, I've been over that. I mean you are hot and all, but that's as far as it goes. Besides, Carmen is the only woman I need." Chelsea smiles and lays her head on Carmen's shoulder.
"Aww you are so sweet baby." Carmen coos and kisses Chelsea's head.
"So cute" I say sarcastically. "So how did you two end up together? I saw the signs but I thought nothing of it."
"What do you mean you saw the signs?" Carmen asks raising an eyebrow at me.
"Well on your first day at King you sat with us at lunch and I'm assuming that Chelsea invited you, which was odd because as you know she isn't that friendly. Then she shared her lunch with you which was strange because she slapped the shit out of me one day when I tried to take some of her chips. Oh and let's not forget that whenever I came to the lunch table, you two would separate from each other. Shall I continue?" I end with a sly grin on my face.
"No I think we get it." Carmen laughs.
"Well she was in my art class on the first day of class and there was just something about her that made me want to get to know her. So after class we talked a little bit and we had a lot in common. I invited her to lunch and from then on we've kind of been inseparable." Chelsea smiles at Carmen.
"That's cute. I'm happy for you two." I say with a small smile. I can't help but feel sad that I don't have anyone really special in my life.
"Thanks, now it's my turn to interrogate you." Chelsea says with a smile. "First off, when did you realize that you happen to like girls?"
"Well like the first day back at school, I started noticing girls more. Like I noticed how I admired their bodies, and soft skin. Then I realized that I was definitely checking a lot of the girls out in the locker room." I blush as I say this.
"That's why you stopped complaining about having to take gym?" Chelsea questions.
"Yes that's exactly why I had no problem with it anymore." I smile wide.
"So what's going on between you and Ashley?" Carmen says like she's been waiting to ask me that for a while.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. You already told us that you like her." Chelsea says.
"Yes I like her, but I'm not sure if she likes me or not. It seems like she is always flirting with me. But on the other hand, she is straight with a boyfriend. I'm so confused; I don't even know what to do about her." I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding.
"Ugh I hate when straight girls do that. It's like stop playing with my head." Carmen says. I'm guessing something like this happened before with her.
"And I think she was jealous last night at the club."
"Why, what happened at the club?" Chelsea asks.
"Well do you know Kendra Wilson from school?" Chelsea nods. "Well she was there and we were dancing. I saw Ashley dancing with some other girls so I started getting more into my dance with Kendra. I guess Ashley was jealous because she grabbed the girl and pulled her closer while she was looking directly at me."
"Oh wow, I don't know about that one. Did that go on for the rest of the night?" I was about to answer but I get cut off by Carmen.
"Ok first before we go on to the Ashley situation, is there anything going on with you and Kendra?" Carmen asks.
"Not really I met her at the try-outs and we exchanged numbers. But anyone with eyes can see that she's hot. If I didn't like Ashley so much, I would definitely be all over her."
"It's always good to have a backup plan." Carmen says with a smile. "But anyways, back to Ashley. Did this whole make each other jealous thing go on all night?"
"No because after our staring competition, she came up behind me and we danced." I get shivers now just thinking about how good her body felt pressed up against mine.
"Oh she definitely likes you." Carmen says with a grin.
"How do you know that?" I ask seriously. I mean I really want to know.
"Ok well there are many signs. One being the way she looked at you when you came out of the dressing room, two is how all of her attention seems to be on you even though other people are around, um she always sits extra close to you whenever she does sit next to you, and –"
"Ok ok ok I get it. So she may a have a little girl crush on me, but she has a boyfriend!" I put my head back on the couch.
"I think we should test her." Chelsea says in a mischievous tone.
I pick my head up and give her a confused look. "What do you mean test her?"
"She obviously seems to like you, so we are going to get her to do something about it." Chelsea says smiling the entire time.
