“I’m not getting in”

“Well you don’t have to but I guess it beats walking, well I assumed you loved bushes I mean, from what I’ve heard, but I really don’t think you’d want to spend the afternoon hiding in one.” Spencer smirked at this and made her way into the car.

“Well I could think of a bush or two I’d like to…This doesn’t mean I like you again, my bag is just really heavy.”

“mhhmm” Ashley said while rolling her eyes at the Blonde girl.

The two drove in silence until they pulled up the Carlin residence, Ashley jumped out of the car and ran around to Spencer’s side opening the door for her. “Here we are me Lady.”

“Ashley, you need to stop, I can’t handle it your being too nice it’s freaking me out” Spencer said still sitting in the car.

“I’m not gonna stop, Not until you like me again, not until you feel the same way you did the other night.” Ashley was now smiling that cheesy smile again which Spencer was trying her hardest to ignore.

“Look Ashley I was harsh last night I get that, but I do deserve to be angry at you, I apologise for some of the things I said. But I NEED you to stop, your making it really hard for me.”

“I just want you to know that I’m sorry and that I like you, you’re the first person I’ve felt comfortable with in a long time, and we have only known each other for what less than a month! What can I do to make it better please tell me.” Ashley’s eyes glistened with desperation which did not go unnoticed by the younger girl, it made her heart wrench but she ignored the feeling as she knew she had to be strong, she can’t be hurt.

Sighing Spencer looks down away from the desperate sight before her, “Ash, just tell me the truth.”

“I did Spencer I told you! I really needed somewhere to stay and I was afraid I’d be kicked out, you should understand that.”

“That’s exactly it I do understand, why didn’t you just tell me?”

“Well I really like you and I didn’t want anything to happen between us, I didn’t want Paula to find out, so I thought if you thought I was straight it would make it easier… didn’t really work out”

“Why did you change your mind? Why are you suddenly trying to pursue me?”

“Well I figured you know about Aiden so its only a matter of time before others know, especially cause he is going around picking up your friends, so I may as well be happy in your presence than miserable even if it is not for that long.”

“I know my mum is a bit psycho, but she wouldn’t kick you out for being gay.”

“Yeah well I just couldn’t chance it at the time. I should have dealt with it better”

“Yeah you really upset me because I let you in, I really liked you and then you rejected the kiss…”

Leaning in towards Spencer, letting her breathe mingle with the younger girls, Ashley stops just before contact and mumbles “I can make it up to you.”

Just as she was about to close the gap Spencer jumped up, “I really want to… but I can’t… I have a boyfriend” she said in a playful tone while slapping the still bent over Ashley on the arse, then running to the front door and up to her bedroom.

5 minutes later a still shocked Ashley locked her car and made her way to the house, just before she got to the first step of the porch she heard a window opening, looking up she saw Spencer’s smirking head emerge from the window. “I need to be wooed Miss Davies” with a wink and a smile Spencer’s head was gone, leaving a slightly amused Ashley walking into the house.
