Grow Old With Me – (Chapter: Wedding Bells?)
“Fine.”
“There we go. Well, I’m going to go unpack a little. Dinner’s going to be ready in a few minutes so I’ll see you two down there,” he informed us as he left the room. Silence filled the room for a few moments after Clay left, as I internally ranted about the marriage; I then remembered Ashley was saying something before Clay came.
“So what were you going to say?” I asked.
“About…”
“About next year, and if I wanted to…”
“Oh yeah. Next year, do you want to, um… have a Christmas party at my apartment?” she said.
“That’s what you wanted to ask me?”
“Um… yeah. So… what do you think?”
“I think you’re really weird,” I told her, causing both her and I to laugh.
“I guess it’s kind of early,” she admitted.
“Yeah, it is,” I giggled.
“Spence?” Ashley asked, after a few moments pause.
“Yeah?”
“Promise me you won’t hate your dad forever. Everyone makes mistakes, you know? And I mean, I know he’s your dad and everything, but he’s also, like, the closest thing to a parent that I’ve ever had.” I was stunned by how vulnerable she looked after saying that; she really didn’t think I was going to forgive him that easily.
“Of course I won’t hate him forever, Ash. Don’t worry,” I assured her.
“Okay, good. So… dinner?”
“Yup, let’s go.”
Dinner was not as uncomfortable as I expected it to be, thanks to Clay and Ashley’s uncanny ability to fill in the silence with lighthearted topics, such as movies, concerts, and classes. Afterwards though, when my dad volunteered to do the dishes, Ashley stared at me and nodded in the direction of the kitchen, indicating that I should go to him. I protested for a moment, but finally gave in and went over.
“Want some help?”
“Sure,” he replied cheerfully. I walked over and picked up a dirty dish, rinsing it off in the sink.
“Dad, about earlier… I overreacted. And I’m really sorry.”
“It’s okay, honey. I should have told you in advance anyway. So, I apologize for that.”
“But why did you tell Clay?” I asked. “That hurt. Knowing you told him and not me.”
“Because, Spence, I know how you get with these things. Karen and I have both had the big, extravagant wedding experience already, and we didn’t want to go through with all of that again with each other,” he explained.

Oh man, Kozmic! I didn’t get a chance to comment on the last chapter, so now I look like that jerk who only shows up to events when food, such as brownies, is offered…hmm, wait a minute – I hope you’re not offering “magic” brownies. Anyway Kozmic, please know that I’m here for your spectacular writing and sextacular story lines. But you know, I wouldn’t mind a root beer float (at times like this I need to remind myself that I’m 26…not 6). Yet another fantastic chapter, Kozmic! I can’t wait to see what’s next for Ashley and Spencer. They seem to be having a pretty good run…which probably means I should by copious amounts of water and canned goods to stock my South of Nowhere bunker. As of Saturday (the 14th) I have to head out on a business trip for one week and I’ll have limited Internet access. What’s worse, my BlackBerry (I always feel dirty when I write that) is on the fritz. Please pray that I survive a fanficless week. Please post soon, and I’ll try to read and comment when I can between the 14th and 21st.

This story is so amazing, so real. I love the way you write them not perfect, if that makes sense? Like they don’t always say the right things and their speech doesnt flow perfectly… in other words, well done! This is my favourite story on here, so pms! p.s. i’d like sprinkles on my brownie. thank you
