ASHLEY'S P.O.V
"Coffee for my lady"
Last night was incredible.
"Thanks"
"You're welcome"
I can't stop smiling.
"Well look who it is"
"Hey mum"
"Ashley I don't see you for nearly two months and then I message you to tell you I'm home and you don't come running?"
She has the biggest grin on her face.
"Mum you're actually the reason I came home last night"
I'm lying.
"No I'm not"
When she says that I laugh.
"What happened to your eye?"
"I bumped into a cabinet"
That's the best I could come up with.
"Hi I'm Christine"
"Spencer..."
"OOOOHHHHHH"
That was unnecessarily loud.
"Mum?"
"It's the famous Spencer"
"I'm famous?"
"You are"
When she sits down next to Spencer I roll my eyes.
"Ashley I'd love a coffee"
I guess I'm pouring an extra cup.
"I've heard a lot about you Spencer"
This was bound to happen eventually.
"All good things I hope?"
"Great things"
This is the quickest cup of coffee I've ever poured.
"Ashley never has girlfriends..."
"Mum?"
"What?"
"Stop talking"
Spencer's loving this.
"Sweetie I'm being friendly"
"When are you ever friendly?"
I'm the only one that's not laughing.
"Ignore her Spencer she thinks I'm annoying"
"Christine consider her ignored..."
"I like you"
Oh god.
"Ashley she's a keeper"
"I know"
There's no way I'm getting rid of her.
"So what happened to non committal Ashley?"
"What happened to uninterested Christine?"
Two can play this game.
"Ashley it's hard to show an interest in your love life when you're sneaking random girls in through the garage"
When I look back over at Spencer she raises her eyebrows..
"Thanks for that mum... Here"
When I pass mum the coffee I made she smiles.
"Thank you sweetie"
I'm drinking this coffee way too quickly.
"So tell me about yourself Spencer?"
"What do you want to know?"
Oh god.
"How did you guys meet?"
That's not so bad.
"We were staying at the same hostel in Brighton..."
"How romantic?"
She can't help herself.
"Spencer my mum's a trophy wife..."
"Ashley don't be rude"
When I raise my eyebrows she smirks.
She knows she's a trophy wife.
"Okay I'm a trophy wife"
Now I'm laughing as well.
"But Spencer I want it known that I was very studious at USC and when I met her father, he was more interested in my intelligence than my looks"
She's so full of it.
"Anyway enough about me"
Here comes the interrogation.
"So how old are you?"
"Nineteen"
"Are you at college?"
"No I'm starting at USC in a couple of weeks..."
"USC?"
"Yer"
"It's a good school"
"It is"
I'm just going to get straight to the point.
"Mum she's from LA, her mum's a doctor, her dad's a social worker, she's a twin and her twin brother's also going to USC"
I have their full attention.
"She's a swimmer and her house is only fifteen minutes from here"
What else is there?
"We met six weeks ago at a hostel in Brighton and then we started travelling together"
I think that pretty much covers everything.
"Oh and I didn't come home yesterday when you messaged, because it was her birthday yesterday and her family organised a BBQ..."
"Happy birthday for yesterday"
"Thank you Christine"
Well that was fun.
"Alright well I know when I'm not wanted"
She's standing up.
"Ashley?"
"Yer?"
"Your father has a charity concert tonight at Hard Rock..."
Okay.
"He'd love it if you came?"
"What time?"
"He goes on stage at 10, doors open at 7..."
"I'll be there"
"Good... It was nice meeting you Spencer"
"You too"
When she leaves I move so I'm standing by her stool.
"So that's mummy dearest..."
"She's quite the looker"
Are my ears deceiving me?
"Spence did you just comment on my mothers looks?"
"I did..."
She has the biggest grin on her face.
"She's very attractive"
"Spencer I was having similar thoughts when I met your mother..."
Her mum's hot.
"But I didn't say it out loud"
She has the sexiest laugh.
"Babe I'm just making an observation"
When she calls me babe, I spin her stool around and move so I'm standing between her legs.
"How's the coffee?"
"Amazing"
It is pretty good.
"So what are you thinking Spence?"
"Do you mean in general or are you asking about something specific?"
She's adorable.
"Spence I have to go to that gig tonight and I'm really hoping you'll come with me?"
"Will your parents care if I go?"
"No"
The more the merrier.
"Okay then count me in"
I was really hoping she'd say that.
