Didn't want to keep you waiting for toooooo long. So here's the little follow up for the cliffy.

Disclaimer: You should know.

REVIEWERS:

hptriospashley: Yep, spashley is official and drama awaits.

Southfan12191989: Always the drama, or there'd be no story.

Oneliner: I'll hopefully work in Spencer's POV somewhere in the near future.

Purpleniya: Yeah, I tend to put Spashley together quickly and draw out other couples. Spashley can just deal with coupley drama instead of being with other people drama. Plus I couldn't do that to Ash who's only thinking SPencer spencer spencer all the time, that'd be cruel. ;P

READ, REVIEW, and ENJOY!

Misunderstandings

Ashley's POV

We hurried in to see a fuming Arden who looks like she's pissed off at a surprised Bridget and Wiley.

"Whoa, guys, what happened?" I say as Spencer gives my hand a squeeze. They all look at us. A few faces look confused and others are grinning.

Alex gets a smirk on her face, "Nah, I think the question is…what happened to you guys?" We both blush at she motions to our joined hands. "Did Ashy finally step up?" She says in her baby voice. Everyone just chuckles.

"Wait…did everyone know she was going to ask me out at some point except for me?" Everyone nods and Spencer groans. "Well that's embarrassing, but yes, Ashley and I have a date in the near future."

"Ow, ow, get some." Wiley calls and I just laugh. Bridget pushes her gently, smiling.

"You. No talking." Arden snaps at Wiley who raises an eyebrow at Arden.

"You wanna go, midget?" Wiley steps forward and Arden looks like she's about to attack. You don't mess with Arden and her age or height, it's a no-no.

"Dude, chill your butt, Arden." We hear snickers. But come on, who else would say that besides Coop?

"Alex, why aren't you pissed? You're the one who has a girlfriend who's been making out in the hallway with some bike dyke." Wiley growls but Bridget gives her a look and she relaxes, her eyes still narrowed at my younger sister. Whoa, when did that happen?

"So let me get this straight…and not in that way…BUT Arden walked in on you two making out," I point at Wiley and Bridget. "started screaming like a banshee, and Coop is totally fine with it?" Arden nods and so do the others. "Dude, Coop, what the hell?" I turn to her and she looks at Bridget who nods.

"We've been broken up for almost a month." The room goes silent. "I gave Bridget the go ahead with Wiley. She liked her and I wasn't going to stand in the way of it." She just shrugs.

"So you lied to us for almost a month?" Arden seems pissed at Coop and I mean, sure. All this time she could've been pursuing her without guilt and that's kinda sucky.

"We didn't want it getting out or the media would be after us. We wanted to wait 'til we were ready, but nothing seemed like the right time to tell you guys." Bridget explains as she leans against the wall next to Wiles.

"Whatever." Arden stomps off into her room and slams the door.

"What's eating her?" God, Coop, you can be so clueless sometimes.

"Not my place to tell ya, bud." I say. "But lying to her really didn't help. She doesn't trust a lot of people as it is, hence her inability to be in a relationship." I shrug and Spencer wraps an arm around my waist.

Coop nods and runs a hand through her hair. "Well, I think that's my cue to exit. Happy for you, Ash. Really am."

"Coop, come on. Don't go." I plead. "What's a party without a Cooper?" tease her and she smiles.

She shakes her head, "Nah, I've got an early day tomorrow. I've got a writers meeting and then we're shooting an episode. I've gotta head home."

Bridget walks up to her and wraps her arms around her neck, burying her face into the crook of her neck. I hear a small thank you being uttered. Alex smiles and hugs her tightly. She looks over at Wiles, "Be good to her, or I'm after your ass in a second, Wiles."

"Hey, no worries Coop. I've got her." Wiley winks and Bridget pulls away, placing a kiss on Alex's cheek and going back to her new interest who wraps her up in her arms.

"Hey Nikki. Don't keep Arden up too long, okay? You've still gotta be on set by noon." She smiles and winks at Nikki who flips her off playfully as she approaches Arden's door. She whispers and knocks, I see it open and I hand pull her in.

"Luce, Ky, I'll see you around. And I'll see if we can get a few of your designs on the show." She winks at Kyla who smiles back excitedly. Coop just charming everyone but the one person that wants her the most.

She looks at Arden's door and sighs, "Ash, tell Ard I'm sorry." I nod and she grabs her keys and bag before walking out of the apartment.

I look at Spencer who smiles at me. I give her a small peck on the lips and I hear Kyla aww at us. I roll my eyes and give her a look. She just chuckles and leads Lucy to the couch to snuggle. I look at Wiley and Bridget who are talking in hushed voices with smirks on their faces. And then I look over at Sam who's nursing a beer and staring at the door Nikki disappeared behind. From what I saw of the night, it seems like they hit it off. Unfortunately for Sam, Nikki made Arden her priority.

This is not what I expected for my after after party, that's for sure.
