ASHLEY'S P.O.V
"Hi"
When Sky gets to where I'm standing I pull her in for a hug.
"Hey Sky..."
"Spencer's here, I'm going to take that to mean things are going well?"
Things are going really well.
"Yer she begged me to make it official and I gave in…"
When I say that she laughs.
"I'm impressed Ash"
This is a new experience for me.
I've never been in a serious relationship before.
"Sky she's perfect… "
I can't find a single thing I don't love about her.
"I love her"
Her face just dropped.
She definitely wasn't expecting that.
"Wow"
She's smiling.
"I'm really happy for you Ash"
"Thanks Sky…"
"Who's she talking to?"
"That's her brother and his girlfriend..."
"Doing the whole family thing already?"
"Well it wasn't exactly a normal get together, so we've had to do things differently"
When she raises her eyebrows I laugh.
"She was in a relationship when I met her, so it got a little crazy…"
"Ashley you have my full attention"
I never come out looking good when this story's told.
"Her ex Matt is best friends with her brother Glen, so I'm not sure, but I don't think he's going to like me much"
It's still early days and I really want her family to like me, but I don't see that happening with Glen, not after everything that's happened with Matt.
"Are you the first girl she's been with?"
"Yes…"
I don't want to talk about this.
"Can we not talk about this anymore?"
"Do you want something to drink?"
"I would love a drink Sky, but I'm driving"
"Ashley you're so responsible now"
I'm a long way from being responsible.
"I'll be back"
When she walks away I turn so I'm facing the stage.
"Is she an ex?"
When he nods over at Sky I raise my eyebrows.
"Is there a problem Glen?"
"She loves you Ashley…"
I can already tell this conversation's going to annoy me.
"Glen if there's a problem just say something, stop beating around the bush…"
"She has a big heart Ashley and I don't want to see her get hurt"
"And I'm going to hurt her?"
"I don't know Ashley, are you?"
I thought there was a chance this could happen.
He's best friends with Matt and I'm the reason his sister isn't with him anymore.
"So you obviously have a problem with me?"
"I don't know you Ashley, I just…"
"You've been listening to Matt and now his opinion of me is your opinion of me"
"I…"
"Glen just spit it out"
He started this conversation.
There's no turning back now.
"You've been with a lot of girls Ashley and she's my sister, so you can't blame me for worrying"
Did I hear that right?
"Just promise me you won't hurt her…"
"Glen I'm not promising you shit and just so we're clear…"
He's ruining my good mood.
"You don't know shit about me"
"I'll come back…"
"Sly it's fine, let's go"
I'm done talking to him.
He's pissing me off.
"Are you all good?"
"He thinks I'm a piece of shit"
LATER THAT NIGHT
"Ashley I give up"
I'm so confused.
We just had amazing sex.
"You're giving up?"
She's brushing her fingers over my nipple.
"I've been waiting for you to tell me, but it looks like I'm going to be waiting a while"
I'm not following.
"What did Glen say to you?"
How does she know that?
"Are you okay?"
When she says that I smile.
"Spence I'm more than okay, that was…"
When she cuts me off with her lips I try to initiate more but she pulls back.
"What did he say to you?"
"Spencer it's not a big deal"
"You've been quiet all night"
"Spencer the only persons opinion I care about is yours"
We don't need to talk about it, I'm fine.
"So as long as you still like me, nothing else matters..."
"I love you"
When she says that I smile.
"But I'm really pissed off Ashley"
Oh ow.
"You invited him to your dads gig and then he turned around and had a go at you"
She's not going to leave it.
"He's an ass..."
"He's just protective"
"Ashley he's a dick"
When she moves so her head's resting on my shoulder, I wrap my arm around her.
"He was a little dickish"
