Plot Twists
Ashley's POV
I watch as Alex groans and puts her head in her hands before walking back inside reluctantly, dragged by Arden. "Hold it! If I deliver this news, I needs me my sammich." Arden rolls her eyes and takes the discarded sandwich from the counter and brings it to her. Alex smirks, "Well thank you fair tavern wench." She's obviously putting on her best medival sort of accent. She pecks Arden on the cheek who just chuckles.
"I'll be watching tv if you two need anything." She gives one last appraisingly flirty glance to Coop and hops back on the couch, leaving Coop standing there smirking dumbly at her and taking a bite of her sandwich.
I snap my fingers infront of her face as she chews, "News, Coop?" She blinks and swallows.
"Right, the news." She sighs and runs the hand not holding her sandwich through her hair. "Good news, you still have your spot on set this week, bad news, you and Duarte will be sharing a few episodes."
"Well that doesn't seem too bad." Alex rubs the back of her neck. "Unless there's more?"
"You two will be love interests for each other and for Nikki." My jaw drops. Nikki I could handle but... Me? And Madison? Spencer's ex? Diva pop star? Together? Kissing scenes? I shudder at all the images cast through my head.
"So you're upset for me? Nothing happened with your character." She purses her lips and looks up, annoyed.
"The assholes of the network decided there was too much gay going around, so Alex will now be exploring her bi-sexual side." I raise my eyebrows. Alex? Dudes? Not in a bro way? I burst out laughing and she grumbles.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry…that sucks but…Come on! You and men being all mushy and cuddley and-" I can't finish when anther burst of giggles appears. She just glares at me and takes a large bite out of her sandwich. My situation is pretty bad, but Alex…wow, she's going against pretty much everything her character stands for, I wonder how shippers will feel...
"Gah, it just sucks." She grumbles. "This character is basically me, its so out of character for her to be like, I wanna experiment with dudes and shit, but hey…they did it to Tina on the L Word." Alex shrugs. "Ratings suck. They determine the fate of my life." She stomps her foot like a little kid.
"Don't worry Coop. Hey at least you have to approve of the dude right? I mean there has to be some level of chemistry. You won't get stuck with an asshole."
She looks over at me, narrowing her eyes, "Well, thank you for that ray of sunshine that I now have to deliberate over. Which one of these guys doesn't gross me out as much as the others when thinking of sexual activities?" She says with sarcasm as she looks at me pointedly and walks out of the room.
Arden's voice is heard from her seated position on the couch, "Don't worry about that, Ash. Her show's her life. She'll get used to it and accept it, it's what she does best."
I hear a knock on the door and I look in Arden's direction to see if she makes a move for the door. She waves me to the door from behind the couch, not taking her eyes off the tv. My sister's a tv junkie.
I walk over to the door and open it to reveal Bridget and Wiley. "Alright, where is she?" Bridget says in a bored, exasperated voice and walks into my loft without so much as a greeting.
"Hey, Ash." Wiley gives me a wave and smiles. "Don't mind her, we got the news from Nikki about the latest development in the show, it's kind of Bridget's thing to reason with her and make her act like less of a child." Wiley shrugs, obviously not worried about anything. "Mind if I come in? Now that my girlfriend has barged her way through?"
I chuckle, "Nah, Arden's just staring at the tv and I've been entertained by Coop so by all means come on in."
We walk into the livingroom and I plop myself onto the couch, of course the Arden part of the couch. "Oompf, Ash, get your ass off me." I wiggle around getting comfortable.
"Nah, my ass likes it here." She shoves me off her lap and I'm sent flying into Wiley who catches me.
"Whoa there, little Davies is a feisty little thing." Arden looks at her and narrows her eyes. Yeahhh, mentioning her size, not the best idea. She stands about 5'3 which most of the time is funny against Coop's 5'8. "So why aren't you with your girlfriend? I mean my girlfriend's with your girlfriend, alone…in your room…there's a bed, she's got soccer abs." Wiley says jokingly wiggling her eyebrows, knowing that Arden gets a little jealous of everything. A pillow soars and hits Wiley in the face.
"Stop that. I'm trying to be trusting here." Arden growls, changing the channel for the billionth time.
"Jeez, everyone's annoying you today aren't they? Or is this about your girlfriend having to swap spit with a dude next week?" I tease.
"Whatever." Arden grumbles. Yep, that'd be the source.
"It's her job, Ard. You've kissed numerous guys in your little movie parts. Did they mean anything?"
Arden looks away, "One did enough for me to sleep with him one night after our wrap up party while I was buzzed."
"Arden! Seriously?" I exclaim. She nods. "Wow. My sister's a slut to bother genders."
"I prefer to call her a reformed slut, thank you." I hear Coop's voice emerging from the hallway, Bridge in tow.
"Coop, we don't care what you call your woman in bed." Wiley says mischievously. They can go back and forth for hours.
Coop flips Wiley off. "Fuck off, Alyssa."
"Love you too, Alexandra." Coop rolls her eyes and plops down next to Arden who snuggles into her side.
"So, how'd the little comfort sesh go in there?" Wiley says as she wraps an arm around Bridget.
"Eh, as always Bridget talks sense into me when I have one left. She's quite annoying that way."
Bridget sticks her tongue out at Coop, "Pft, Alex someone has to give you a little sense every now and then. Who pushed you to pitch your idea to the network? Hmm?" Bridget smiles proudly.
"Yeah, yeah, my overbearing girlfriend of the time dragged me into that office. Damn soccer muscles." Coop rolls her eyes, rubbing her arm and pulling Arden close. I suddenly feel alone. Everyone's paired up except for me.
The door opens and I see my beautiful girlfriend. Kind of perfect timing. I tune out the arguing back and forth and just focus on her. She's so gorgeous, even when she's exhausted from a day of shooting. She's so tired and she still came by to see me. I'm fallin' for this girl. If only I had the confidence to tell her at this moment. Spencer sets her stuff down and looks up at me, locking eyes and giving me a smile. My stomach flutters a bit. Then, my moment is ruined by who else? Coop.
"Spencer!" Coop hops over the couch and lifts her up. Spencer squeals and laughs.
"Put me down, Al." Coop sets her down with a grin.
"Hey, don't bruise my woman. I'll need her in her best condition later." I wink at Spencer and hear whistles from Wiley. "Coop why don't you go bruise your own woman, we all know you're not getting any."
"Ashley Davies!" Arden yells at me, angrily.
"What? It's true. You two have so not done the deed. I would be the first to know…or maybe second."
"Why is that?" Arden raises an eyebrow.
"Because Coop cannot keep things to herself and would either tell Spencer or I." Alex rolls her eyes.
"Alright, before you anger your sister further and I have to clean up the mess. Monday you're on set. Be sure to try and ignore Duarte." Coop pats me on the back and Spencer's eyebrows shoot up. Oh right, everyone knows but her.
"Duarte? As in Madison?" Spencer squeaks slightly and scrunches her eyebrows together.
"Uh, yeah. They decided to have two stars in their episodes to draw more ratings. So, I'm stuck with Madison for a bit."
"And they're gonna be loovvverrrrss" Coop says teasingly and then adds quickly when Spencer turns to face her with a weird expression. "Against my wishes of course."
Spencer looks at me with an eyebrow raised, "Well, Coop has to kiss guys!" I blurt out and Spencer seems like she doesn't know which one of us to look at more shocked than the other.
"Thank you for that, Ash." Arden rolls her eyes and kisses her annoyed looking girlfriend's cheek.
"Well, I need to process this." Spencer says chuckling. "The universe is not right at the moment."
"Don't worry, I'm working on fixing scripts and tweaking storylines as we speak," Coop says while typing on her crackberry. "I may not get a say in casting or what the viewers want…but I can at least make this story make sense. Don't worry, 'ole Coop's gonna be workin' hard 'til Monday." I just hope Spencer's okay with it all. Will she visit me now that Madison will be on set or will she not care whether she's there or not? Guess we'll see.
