Your THIRD and final update of the day! Enjoy!!
51 - The Great Detective Carlin
Spencer's PoV
"Mom, are we going to be able to see Uncle Aiden and Aunt Kyla this Christmas?" Lucas asked, eating an apple in the back seat.
"Of course," I smiled and parked in the driveway.
"Who are Uncle Aiden and Aunt Kyla?" Dylan asked, as we scooted out of the Blazer.
"Aunt Kyla is mom's best friend." Lucas grinned, "Uncle Aiden is her husband."
"Oh." Dylan shrugged and grabbed her small backpack. "I have homework Spencer, can you help me?"
"Of course sweetie." I smiled and the three of us made our way into the house. I hung up my coat and sluggishly made my way up to my bedroom. I stopped at the doorway and grinned as the bed that was usually made every morning, remained messy.
Two sweaty, tangled bodies made love in that bed the night before. I closed my eyes and shivered.
"Mom?" Lucas poked my hip and grinned when I yelped. "Did you forget to make your bed this morning?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Huh?" I laughed and quickly throw the cover over the bedspread, patting down the pillows. "Oh uh yea, I missed the alarm."
"Oh," her grey eyes gleamed back at me mischievously, "I heard it go off." She stifled her giggles at my horrid expression.
"Well yea, but then I fell back asleep." I cleared my throat and blew strands of hair from my eyes. "I'm going to change Lucas, please grab your homework and get started?"
Lucas saluted me and skipped out of my room, closing the door behind her.
I threw myself back on my messy bed and let out a long sigh, the events of the night before and the day I had had, wearing thin on me. My eyes closed and soon I was lost in a world of Ashley-filled dreams.
I woke up to darkness. "Shit," I muttered and quickly changed my clothes. The house was eerily quiet and I found both girls' bedrooms empty and untouched. Downstairs was pretty much the same way.
I found a note placed neatly on the breakfast bar.
Spence,
Told you that a nap was going to be needed. I took the girls to Rapture and don't worry, I made them bring their homework – much to their whining.
See you later, gorgeous.
xo Ash
Did I mention how impossibly in love I was?
I clutched the note to my chest and smiled.
A knock at the door made me jump slightly and I rushed to open it. "Hey Carmen."
"Hey." Her smile wasn't as bright as it usually was.
"What's wrong?" I frowned.
"Sam left me." Carmen hung her head and I raised an eyebrow.
"Shit I'm sorry." I pulled her into a hug.
"Yea, she went to New Zealand for a week and I couldn't even convince her to stay." She mumbled into my neck.
"So she didn't leave you, leave you?" I pulled back, quirking an eyebrow.
"What?" Carmen finally let out a laugh. "Girl, if you would've given me the chance to show you how good in bed I am then you would know why Sam wouldn't leave me."
"Bitch." I pushed her away. "And here I thought you meant she broke up with you!"
"Ha." Carmen smirked and shrugged. "Still, I'm sad Carlin, make me feel better."
"Fuck you." I grinned and shook my head, grabbing my coat. "Hungry? I've got three gorgeous dates waiting for me at Rapture."
"I already ate but I wouldn't mind keeping you company." Mandez grinned and stepped outside. "So what did you do for your date last night?"
"Went to My Place." I smiled and started the Blazer, letting it warm up. "Then she took me to her place and then we came back to my place…" I stopped as she frowned with confusion. "Did I lose you?"
"So you were at your place then went to her place then back to your place?" Carmen looked so lost.
I laughed and shook my head. "My Place, the restaurant."
"Oh!" She smacked her head and shook it. "Wow, see my brain was left back in my head which is at the hotel room between Sam's legs."
"Oh God." I chuckled and frowned. "Please, I don't need those images in my head."
"Oh come on admit it, they're totally hot images." Carmen smirked slowly, waggling her eyebrows.
"Definitely not as hot as my head between Ashley's legs last night." I licked my lips.
Carmen paused and thought about it. "Yea, that would be pretty hot." I laughed and she nudged me. "Just drive Carlin."

Ashley's PoV
"Mom!" Lucas smiled as Spencer walked into the café with Carmen by her side. "I did all of my homework."
"Good girl." Spencer grinned and leaned forward, kissing her daughter on the cheek. Her eyes found mine and she smiled, blinking slowly. "Did you give out a lot of homework today?" She questioned me.
"No." Jaiden sat down beside me and fanned herself, looking a little flushed. "This Christmas rush is a bitch, you know that? I mean, is everyone so lazy to go home and cook dinner for themselves after or before shopping?"
"I'm sorry, did you want us to leave?" Carmen raised an eyebrow.
"No." Jaiden mumbled.
"How was your first day?" Spencer sat beside me and her fingers found mine underneath the table and squeezed briefly.
"Good." I smiled with a nod. "I know I'm going to love it."
"You know what else isn't fair?" Jaiden piped in again, leaning forward, "it was bad enough that Spencer has to be 'Coach Carlin' but now Ashley has to be 'Miss Davies', what the hell kind of shit is that?"
"You're making our girls rich." I whispered as Lucas and Dylan sat there with their hands open and expecting.
"Here," Jaiden shoved a ten dollar bill in Lucas' hand, "now I have eight more times that I can say a bad word."
"No," Lucas frowned, "you have four more times."
"No way, I gave you ten dollars!" The teen argued.
"Yea but there are two of us," Lucas sighed and raised an eyebrow; "eight divided by two is four - because you have to give us each a dollar, right?"
Spencer smirked and winked at Lucas, who beamed proudly. "She so has my brains."
"Yea well your brains are shit. Shit. Shit. Shit." Jaiden muttered and stood up. "There, four times and my dues are paid."
"Hope it was well spent." Lucas snickered loudly watching Jaiden walk away and she handed Dylan the money. "Buy yourself something pretty."
"Aww thank you, Lukey!" My daughter grinned and handed me the money. "I don't wanna lose it."
I tucked it into my pocket and patted it. "It's safe."
"Were you guys here long?" Carmen asked, reaching over to steal a fry off my plate. She looked at me and shrugged, winking.
"Not really." Dylan answered her. "We went to Walmart first and mommy got upset because it was crowded and people are stupid."
"Yea, she said that place makes people stupid." Lucas chuckled.
Spencer turned her head to look at me and with an amused grin and I blushed a little bit.
"Well it does." What a comeback Davies.
"Someone a little cranky?" Spencer raised an eyebrow and squeezed my thigh, biting her lip.
"Someone didn't get much sleep last night." I muttered.
"Someone should take care of that." Spencer murmured.
"Someone missed her alarm this morning." Lucas threw in there and both Spencer and I shared a look. "Right ma? That's what you told me." Lucas' grey eyes bore into my own with a sense of challenge.
"Yea, that's what I said." Spencer laughed nervously and Carmen smirked.
"Darn alarms, they ruin everything." Carmen chuckled.
"Hey Ash," Lucas was still focused on me, "do you know how to skate?"
"Uh," I frowned and shrugged, "I can stand on two feet with skates on."
Lucas' grin turned into a total mischievous Spencer smile. "Great, so you can skate with me Saturday morning."
Spencer looked at me and shrugged, not understanding where her daughter was going with it.
"Whatever you want, Luc." I nodded, somewhat baffled with the turn of events.
"Good." Lucas paused and smirked. "It's a date."

Next time in Points Underneath:
"Why I do believe you are getting fresh with me Miss Davies." I winked and kissed her a little deeper that time.
"Oh no!" Ashley pulled back and shook her head. "I'm not about to have sex in this room."
"What?" I laughed and raised an eyebrow at her. "You think I was about to have sex with you?"
Yes.
It totally crossed my mind.
