Duarte Showdown

Spencer's POV

I hop into my car and drive to the studio lot. I give the guard my ID and he raises the arm for me to get through. I park infront of Stage 12 where Alex films her show and walk back to the trailers. I see Alex and Ash goofing off on the outside of one, taunting and nudging each other while Nikki just laughs. Alex spots me and stops bouncing around only to get knocked into the trailer by Ash. I can't help but laugh but I walk quickly over to see what the damage is. Alex is currently laughing on the floor, rolling over.

"Al, seriously, get up, the people who work for you probably already question your sanity." Ashley's giggling as she forces out the words.

Alex hops up, brushing off the dirt with a grin on her face, "Yeah, yeah. Your fault, that was a cheap shot. But eh, I got to oogle your girlfriend before you did." She shrugs and Ashley looks at her weirdly before turning in my direction. I see her eyes light up as she hurries over to me.

"Babe!" She wraps her arms around me, burying her face into my neck. "I missed you. You need to save me from this place. Pllleaaasee." I can feel her pout as she whines.

I giggle, "I missed you too Ash. We need to get going for lunch anyways." I take her hand in mine and she grins.

"All you two do is eat don't ya." Coop says with a smirk. Nikki hits her on the back of the head, Alex turns to her. "What? Jesus, it's like smack Coop around day isn't it? Why didn't I get the memo?" She pouts and I giggle.

"Aww, Al, you poor thing. Isn't Arden coming by anyways?"

"Uh yeah." We all look at her. She's being strange. "What? It's not like I haven't told her that my love interest is Bridget my ex-girlfirend's twin sibling or anything."

"Alex Cooper! You didn't tell my sister to meet you for lunch because you thought she'd freak over Eric?" I can't tell if Ash is mad or thinks she's being stupid.

"Wait, wait. Eric is man meat?" Weird that that happened. I know they were close but normally Alex doesn't like to willingly associate friends into her story, conflict of interest. Ash was just the exception to try and get Madison out. And yes, we refer to the token man love interest as man meat. It's classic. "How did that happen?" Feel Ash's arms wrap around my torso as she pulls me to her.

"The network, who else?" Alex groans out. "They figured since I had been dating Bridget that I had connections to bring in her athlete brother. I mean I work well with him and I don't have to deal with stupid screenings with potential douchebags, but it is a liiittttle awkward. Not gonna lie." Alex is pacing a little as she works herself up. "And niether Bridget nor Arden know because it was decided yesterday. I just don't want this to be one more thing I have to deal with."

"My sister isn't just a thing, Al."

"Ash, I didn't mean-"

"Alex, at least give my sister some credit. You're acting as I've she'll totally overreact, like you have no faith in her. Sure, she gets jealous. But this is a guy, Al! A guy who just happens to be your ex's twin brother, okay?" Wow, Ashley's so protective of her sister, even against one of her good friends.

Alex looks at the floor, ashamed. "Aw, trouble in paradise, Cooper?" Great, my favorite person is here.

"Back off, J-Ho." Ash growls. "This is none of your business."

"If it affects the people I work with who will make me popular, it is my business. Alex here is the writer, I can't have her feelings getting in the way of the quality of the show. So suck it up, wittle Al. Plus, we wouldn't want this little relationship going out to the papers would we?" She wouldn't…or maybe she would. Ugh, what did I ever see in her. "Alex Cooper and Arden Davies, new item already falling apart. People will pay tons for a quote from me."

"Fucking mind your own business Madison." Alex growls out, getting into her personal space. "I can deal with all of your shit but the second you bring in my girlfriend, your ass is mine!" She pokes Madison.

"You wish my ass was yours, Al." Madison smirks while whispering in her face.

"Bitch, get a tic tac." Alex coughs and walks away to stand by Nikki who pats her on the back, leaving a flustered Madison. We all laugh, but its sort lived when Madison turns to me.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Spencer Carlin." Madison purrs out. Ashley tenses next to me and I lace my fingers with hers, trying to get her to relax. "So sad to see that you down graded." She looks at Ash with disgust. Ashley's about to say something back when I cut her off.

"Back off, Madison. Obviously if you have to try to keep tearing her down, you're still the insecure little dancer from podunk Ohio who begged me to take her with me to college in LA." I see a smirk appear on Ash's face. Coop snorts and Nikki stifles a laugh. Madison looks around us, embarrassed and realizing she's outnumbered, scampers off to her trailer.

"Thank you, baby." Ash whispers in my ear before kissing my lips softly. I grin and place a kiss on her nose.

"No problem, hun. Anything for you, its been a long time coming."

"Yeah, someone needed to put that bitch in her place." Alex growls out.

"Down, puppy." Nikki teases and pats her on the head.

Alex huffs and crosses her arms grumbling, "Whatever."

"Seriously, Coop. Tell her now or it will become a thing and you know it."

"I know, I know. I'll call her in a couple minutes. I've suddenly hit inspiration." She smirks deviously. Alex can be very hard to read at times…The question on everyone's mind at this point: What will she have in store for this plot line.
