Thank you for the review, yes Spinelli appreciate that Ashley A's parents are nice enough to take care of her, she just doesn't appreciate Ashley A because she doesn't trust her, but she's trying to be mature about it, mostly because she can't do much on her own, so she has to be polite. Yearh Ashley A is very sneaky as she knows she has to be, as she can't force Spinelli into becoming an Ashley, she knows she has to let Spinelli come to her. As for Spinelli, yearh she's very dependent on Ashley A, much more than she thought, which Ashley A of course uses to her advantage. Now onto the chapter.
Chapter 4: Breakfast and Phone call.
Spinelli was sound asleep, dreaming that she was back on the elementary school playground and playing pranks with her friends, when suddenly she was awoken by Ashley A saying "Wakey, wakey sleepyhead, time to get up. We have a long day ahead of us". Spinelli slowly awoke. She had hoped that the last couple of days had just been one bad dream, but then she looked around in the pink room and finally back to her leg in a cast, when she realized that it was a reality. She really had a broken leg, and she really was staying with Ashley A, who knew how long.
"Ugh what time is it" Spinelli asked in a sleepy dose. She looked up and saw Ashley A stand there in a bath rope, with her hair in a towel, showing that she had already taken a shower.
"8 o'clock, we have a lot to do today, first of, your bath, then breakfast, then our spa day, then a surprise, then lunch, then I'll totally teach you how to flirt with cute boys, and finally I'll, like, totally teach you some more table manners, and after that, we can, like, watch some movies or one of my favorite tv shows. But you know what, I'll, like, get our housekeeper, she can, like, help you take a bath."
Spinelli barely got to really wake up, before Ashley A handed her the crutches and told Spinelli to follow her. Spinelli not having much choice in her current situation just did as the blonde said and followed her into the main bathroom, with the blonde carrying a pink bathrobe, clearly meant for Spinelli to borrow. Spinelli followed her into the bathroom, as Ashley A only had a shower in her bathroom. She was told to take a seat on the toilet, as Ashley went to go get her housekeeper. Meaning that while Spinelli would take a bath, Ashley A could get ready by herself. She finally came back with a woman who didn't look like the Armbrusters, so Spinelli guessed that she was their housekeeper.
"Ashley S this is Joan, our house keeper, she'll, like, help you take a bath and if you need anything else" Ashley A said to Spinelli, as she looked over at the women and said, "Joan this is Ashley S". Soon enough Ashley A left the bathroom, leaving Spinelli alone with a complete stranger.
While Spinelli wasn't a fan of Ashley A, she soon found herself wishing that Ashley A would help her, because while she didn't like Ashley A, at least she wasn't a complete stranger that was going to see her completely naked. Spinelli soon enough felt very exposed and very vulnerable, something that she didn't like, and yet here she was, having to be helped by a complete stranger.
"Hello Ashley, I know this must be hard for you, having a complete stranger help you bath, but since I'll be helping you more often, until you get better and your leg heals, so why don't you and I get to know each other. I understand if you feel uncomfortable by it." She said after she had helped Spinelli down into the bathtub.
Spinelli thought that she was nice enough, that she didn't bother telling her to call her 'Spinelli' instead of 'Ashley', but even if the woman was nice to her, she still felt very awkward talking to her, so she just remained silent, as the woman was washing her hair and apparently putting conditioner in her hair, which she guessed was after instructions by Ashley A.
Ashley A had left the bathroom, and walked into her own bedroom, finding clothes for herself, and finding something for Spinelli to wear. She herself decided on a blue sundress, with a pair of pink wedges, putting on makeup and putting on a headband. She decided that Spinelli should be wearing a yellow sundress with flowers for with one pink flat, seeing as the girl had problems enough using crutches, so heels could wait until she could walk around a little bit better.
Spinelli was finally finished with her bath, when she walked into Ashley A's bedroom, albeit slow and not easy with crutches, but she was determined to be able to as much on her own as possible, she walked in, clearly frowning at the dress laid out for her. Once again being forced to wear something girly and unlike her.
"I saw that look Ashley S, you may as well get used to wearing those dresses, because as long as you're staying here, you wear my clothes, now let me help you into the dress." Ashley A helped her, because Spinelli still couldn't do it on her own, still relying on Ashley A's help, getting her dressed.
The dress felt tight on Spinelli, who was mostly used to wearing loose clothing and was therefore not used to wearing anything tightfitting, feeling rather weird wearing the dress. Spinelli then asked the blonde "don't you have anything less tight"
"Uhm no, my clothes fit just fine. You can fit into my clothes just fine; in fact, it looks just great on you. Now go brush your teeth and then let me comb your hair before we go down to eat breakfast" Ashley A said. Once again Spinelli lost a battle to her, and just let the blonde comb her hair, before they would go down to have breakfast.
Eventually Spinelli might get used to going down the staircase, but for now it was still a struggle. After a while, she finally got down, and she followed Ashley A into the dining room.
"Okay, so I, like, already told our chef what to make us for breakfast, so let's just wait for the breakfast" Ashley A said as she looked over at one of the shelfs and found a small box. She then walked and took the box. She read the note 'had to run but went to the jewelry store and got what you had ordered Friday'. Ashley then opened the box and inside was a necklace with a crystalized A on it. "Oh, look what mommy got for you Ashley S, a necklace that matches mine. Well i ordered it Friday at the jewelry store and mommy had picked it up today, now let's see how it looks on you"
Ashley A then walked and was about to put it on Spinelli when the brunette said "Uhm I really don't need a necklace and not an A necklace, besides what does the A even stand for" Spinelli looked kind of terrified at the thought of wearing a necklace identical to Ashley A's.
"What, now don't be silly Ashley S, of course you should wear it and besides the A stands for Ashley, like me, and like you. Besides mommy would be so disappointed, after all she bought this for you, at my request, the least you could do is wear it". With that, Spinelli sighed in defeat, she didn't want to upset Ashley A's parents, plus arguing with the blonde didn't seem to help Spinelli since she was depended on the blonde. She sighed as Ashley A put the necklace on her, and smiled in triumph, while all Spinelli could do was look down on the necklace, another reminder of her first name. She definitely couldn't take it of as long as she stayed with Ashley A and her parents, while she was waiting for a phone call from her parents.
Soon enough the phone rang, and Ashley A went to go get it. "Hello. Oh, hello Mrs. Spinelli" Spinelli's eyes went huge as she watched Ashley A on the phone, talking to her mother, while Ashley A just continued to talk. "Oh, did you and Mr. Spinelli land well. That's wonderful to hear. Oh, we're already having such a good time, we're going to have a spa trip today and when her leg gets better then we'll go shopping, I think if every day goes well, then she should just spend her whole summer vacation here with us. Oh, you want to talk to her, of course, just hang on, and I'll go get her for you" Ashley A said as she put the phone down and looked at Spinelli. "Oh, Ashley S, your parents wants to talk to you." She said as she took the phone and brought it close enough for Spinelli to touch. "Hello." She said.
"Hi pokey, how are you honey" her mom said on the other line.
"I'm fine, but mom I lost all my clothes"
"Oh no, that's awful. How could that happen"
"there was an accident involving their dog"
"Well that's terrible, so what happened then, and what are you wearing right now then."
"they offered to take me shopping and buy me a new wardrobe when my leg heals, or at least gets a bit better, and I'm borrowing clothes from Ashley A, mom"
"Well that's very generous of them, guess there's no need to worry then, but you know I'll just buy you some new clothes for when we come home."
"So, when are you coming home mom"
"Oh, I don't know, in a few weeks, but I hear that you two have quit the day ahead of you."
"I guess so"
"well I hope you two have a great time. You know your friend she suggested that if all days goes well, then you could stay with them for the entire summer, oh I should hang up, don't want to distract you from your girl's trip, goodbye Ashley, I'll call you in a few days, if not a week." And with that her mom hang up on her. All Summer vacation. Just a few weeks was bad enough, but now it could possibly turn into the entire summer vacation, she wasn't sure on if she would survive for 3 whole months. Who knew how much damage Ashley A could do to her in three months. She certainly wouldn't be able to watch wrestling if Ashley A had something to say about it.
Soon enough breakfast was served. Two plates were served, one for Ashley A, and one for Spinelli. Spinelli then looked down on her own breakfast, if you could call it that. There was barely anything on the plate, there was half a grapefruit and one boiled egg, with a cup of green tea. Spinelli looked over at Ashley A, who herself was having half a grapefruit, but two boiled eggs and a toast. Ashley A could sense the brunette looking over at her. "I know what you're thinking Ashley S, but since you'll be sitting down for most of this summer, you won't be able to burn of all those calories, and we need to make sure you don't gain any weight this summer. Ashley A said as a matter of fact. Leaving Spinelli, no choice but to just do as said, as she ate what was on her plate. Knowing that she had a long day ahead of her.
