A Morning with Cooper, A Night with Davies

Alex's POV

My alarm goes off and I groan. Fucking 6 am meeting. It's 4:30 right now, I got maybe 2 hours of sleep. I couldn't keep my mind off of Arden. She looked pissed, but I could see sadness in her eyes. I didn't think that it'd be such a huge deal, I mean it's really not their business what goes on between me and Bridge.

I undress and walk into the shower. The hot cascading water relaxing my muscles as I think things over. The shower is actually where most of my ideas are born. The others usually come no earlier than midnight, which makes my sleep cycle out of whack because my need to write them down overpowers sleep. The things I do for my job.

I step out of the shower and step into my closet to grab clothes for the day. Once I'm dressed I grab my keys and head out the door and to the studio. I wave to the guard as he lets me in. He nods and smiles in return. I make it to the writing room, taking my place among the few writers we have on staff, as well as the director and producers.

Our major exec, Robert, stands and begins, "Alright, as you all know. We need a new guest celebrity star for a musical role. My idea is to bring in Madison Duarte. She's expressed her interest in the show and she's a well known singer/dancer. I think it'll be a good fit." Yeah, fat chance of me letting that happen.

I chuckle and shake my head, "Robbie, Robbie, Robbie…you do know of her infamous diva flipouts, right?"

He raises a brow at me, "And you have something better I suppose?"

I smirk, "Gentlemen and lady," I wink at the lone female writer, Becca. She chuckles and shakes her head. She's totally straight, but hey, can't I have a little fun anyways? "What if I told you I could get Ashley Davies on the show?" There's shocked expressions around the room.

"You're sure she'll do it? She hasn't done a guest role since her last tour." Robert looks skeptical.

"I'm sure I can call in a favor." I smile. "She's a huge fan of the show and a close friend."

"Alright, Cooper pulls through again. Everyone ok with Davies over Duarte?" I see collective nods and lean back in my chair, ah so good to be in charge.

The meeting ends a half hour later, we worked through scripts and storylines for upcoming episodes. I collapse back on my makeshift bed in my trailer. I hear a knock on the door, "Come on in." The door opens and Nikki steps in. "Hey Nik." I smile as she sits down next to me.

"Tough meeting?" She asks, tickling my stomach.

I giggle and move away from her fingers, "A bit. I convinced them that we'd do Davies over Duarte for our next musical guest." Nikki's eyebrows shoot up.

"Is that the best idea Al? We don't even know if Ash will be ok with it, plus Madison already hates your ass."

"Pft, and I hate her too. There's no way that she's getting a guest role on my show. She was a bitch to Spencer and I never liked her." Yes, Madison Duarte, pop superstar, was Spencer's girlfriend that dumped her before she met Ashley. I glance at the clock. "We need to get to wardrobe. Plus I've gotta talk to them about Ky's line."

"Giving handouts left and right, Al? Are we trying to get on the Davies sister's good sides for a reason?" She's insinuating something and I have no idea what she's talking about.

"What are you talking about, Nikki?" I ask genuinely confused. Her eyebrows furrow and she shrugs.

"Just seems like your trying real hard to put them in your show."

"Nik, they're talented and my friends. Why shouldn't I? Plus they're lesbians…lesbian show needs lesbians." We walk out of my trailer.

"Whatever you say, Al." What the hell is she talking about?

Ashley's POV

Last night was insane. Everyone had their own little thing going on. I hated seeing Spencer walk out, but she had a session in the morning. I kissed her goodnight in front of everyone and made her promise she'd come back over today.

I walk into my sister's room and see her alone on her bed, writing again. I smile as I watch her with her intense look of concentration. I knock on the door and she jumps. "Sorry Ard."

She waves it off, "No worries."

"How'd things go with Nikki last night?" I wiggle my brows.

"They didn't." She says in a bored tone as she continues writing.

"Really? Not in the mood?" She shuts her book and looks up at me.

"Ash, I don't know what you think you know, but you don't ok? Nikki and I are only friends. We haven't done anything but snuggle since I met Alex." My eyebrows shoot up. Arden? Snuggling? Refusing sex? For Alex? "Yeah. I've got it bad for her, but she barely considers me anything." She runs her fingers through your hair. "I'm happy for you and Spencer, but you've had time to slowly get through a relationship without lies or major drama. Alex is like a walking magnet for drama and this entire time I could've been pursuing her and making her look at me in that way, but I didn't because I thought she was with Bridge."

I sit next to her, "So what are you going to do now?"

She smirks, "What I do best. Write, play, sing, get the girl." She pauses, "As long as I don't freeze up…she tends to have that effect on me…"

"So that's why your insanely scribbling."

"Mhmm." She taps on her notebook. "Almost finished. Speaking of songs, sharing yours with Spence today?"

I nod, "That's the plan."

"Good luck, Ash. Don't worry, she'll love it." Arden winks at me and it's times like these that I love that we live together. She's so like me and knows what to say and what I feel.

I walk out of Arden's room and I hear the doorbell. Spencer. I smirk as I race to open the door. Spencer's smile grows. "Hey Ash."

"Hey Spence." I breathe out before I grab her by her hips and kiss her tenderly. Her arms wrap around me as I shut the door. I hear footsteps as our kiss deepens.

"Don't mind me, lovebirds, just makin' a sammich which trying not to hurl watching you two be all mushy." We pull away and Spencer blushes hiding her face into my chest.

"Shut it Ard." I chuckle. "Just because you haven't charmed your way into Alex's thoughts doesn't mean you can bring me off my Spencer induced high." I stick my tongue out and Arden flips me off.

"Go makeout in your room, jeez. That's what it's for." I chuckle and lead Spencer to my room.

"So, how was your session? Any unruly models get the lovely side of Spencer I got my first day?" I sit on my bed and look at her, smiling.

She chuckles and pecks my cheek, "No, you're the only one that got to see the unprofessional bitchy Spencer." She sits down beside me, running her fingers along my arm.

"Lucky meeee." I sing out and she slaps my arm. "Ouch, Spence. I'm going to give you your surprise and you go and hit me. I am now refusing." I cross my arms and look away from her.

"Aww, Ash, baby. Please? Pleaasseee, give me my surprise." She does her little pout and head tilt it's almost enough for me to give in, but I shake my head trying to see how far this little begging thing can potentially go. I get my answer when she straddles my lap. I look up at her and she claims my lips with hers in a hot kiss, but before we get too heated she pulls away. "Please?"

"Fiinee. You temptress." I groan and pout. She just giggles, pecking my pouty lips once more. "Unfortunately, you're going to have to get off my lap so I can fully give you said surprise." She quickly hops off and sits on the bed. I walk into my closet and pull out my guitar. I grab the rectangular box off my dresser and tuck it into my jacket pocket.

"Ash…are you serenading me?" She teases playfully.

"Soorrtt of." I smile and sit down next to her with my guitar in my lap. I pull the box out of my pocket and place it in her lap. She looks at me questioningly. "It goes with the song, ok?" She smiles and opens the box to see a heart shaped locket. She gasps softly.

"Ash, it's beautiful." She picks it up and opens it. She chuckles and looks at me. "And it's you. So cute and sweet, hun." I put a picture that Coop had taken of me one day when we were goofing around. She decided it looked better in black and white. It's of me smiling my nose crinkling smile.

"There's actually a story behind that picture." I smile. "Coop stole your camera and we had gone to the beach." Spencer raises a brow at her camera being taken. She's kind of protective of that thing. "She was actually doing a horrible impersonation with you if you had a Russian accent. You know the type of impersonation right? The give me this and that and you're a tiger growl at me that sort of thing?" She giggles and I chuckle. Coop's a character. "Anyways she got serious for a second and said think of Spencer and that's what she got."

Spencer smiles and kisses my lips gently, "I love it. And I guess I have to thank Alex a bit too, even though I want to kill her for stealing my camera and bringing it near sand and water…that girl is so clumsy, she could've destroyed my thousand dollar money making machine."

"Thousand?" I raise a brow.

"Yeah, there's a ton of lenses that I have they're all pretty expensive so is the camera so it would come out to be around a thousand at least." She shrugs. Wow, no idea.

"Anyways, now we get to the real part of the surprise. The song. I hope you like it Spence." She smiles and I begin to strum.

Carry this picture for luck

Kept in a locket

Tucked in your collar

Close to your chest

Make it a secret

Shown to the closest friends

And meet me at quarter to 7

The sun will still shine then

At this time of year

We'll head to the inlet

And we'll share a bottle there

I smile as I sing to Spencer. She's looking at me taking in the words I'm singing and playing with her locket, smiling.

And color the coast with your smile

Its the most genuine thing

that ive ever seen

I was so lost

But now i believe

Her smile grows into a full out grin.

And follow me south of the big docks

They teather the boats

The rich men revere

As so important

They hire our fathers to steer

And down to the edge of the water

Where we'll spill our guts

And we'll name our fears

I'll give you this picture

Keep it and dont be scared

And color the coast with your smile

Its the most genuine thing

That ive ever seen

I was so lost

But now i believe

And the coast

Your smile is the most genuine thing

That ive ever seen

I was so lost

But now i believe

I let the last note fade out and right when I set my guitar down Spencer's ontop of me, capturing my lips in a kiss. Her hands cupping my face as I fall back onto the bed, chuckling. She straddles me, sliding her tongue between my lips as they battle for dominance. My hand traces under the hem of her top as her hips push down into mine. I let out a groan and that's when I know it's time to stop. Don't get me wrong, I want Spence, but we need to take it slow. I really care about her. I slow down the kiss and eventually we pull away gasping for air. She rests her forehead against mine as she lays on top of me. I pull her up and scoot back so we're lying comfortably on my bed. She snuggles into my side and rests her head on my chest. "So…I take it you liked it?" She giggles and blushes.

"Yeah, I definitely liked it. You're a real charmer Ashley Davies. You do this with all your girls?" She teases.

"No, only you get to see this side of me." I use her words from earlier back at her and she smiles.

"I'm glad." She sighs contently.

"So Spence…I was thinking we'd go out Friday for a little dinner maybe the beach for your first date. How does that sound?" She looks up at me and smiles.

"Perfect."
