As she mirrors my position we lock eyes again, “Well, honestly?  I’m scared of what you can do to me…and how much I feel for you Spence.  It took me all this week and like everyone giving me pep-talks and about a billion self pep-talks to come over here today.  I was literally going insane not talking to you; I talked to myself and then would think of every scenario possible and say it out loud.  I was scared to lose you as a friend, but I didn’t want to pressure you to be more than friends just to stay in my life.  Because truthfully, Spencer Marie Carlin, I don’t think I can live without you in my life, but I need to be more than your best friend too, as selfish and desperate it may be.”

“Or I was going to say hopelessly romantic and a little cheesy, but overall just perfect.” I correct her…is that I blush I see?!?

“Oh my God!  Is Ashley Nicole Davis blushing!?!?  Did I ever tell you how sexy you look when you blush?” I say as I put a stray hair behind her ear.

“Actually, you have, once.”  Yeah, because I think I’ve only seen her blush like one other time.

“Okay, well I still have a lot more to say if you would stop interrupting me…” Ashley continued half-serious.  She even took out some note cards from her back pocket, “Okay…well I pretty much covered all of it, but the other reason I didn’t talk to you right after the party was because of Madison…”  Oh yeah…I forgot about that, I really don’t want to hear it, but she keeps going anyway, “So long story short, I broke up with her the next day when I went to talk to her in the morning.  She understood, she cheated on me anyway when she was on that vacation with her family.  The day after that I wanted to call you, but Kyla said you were really pissed at me and needed to cool off because you probably would throw me out of the house,” she’s right…I most likely would have, “And I totally didn’t want you to see me with a black eye and busted lips.  Anyway, that whole week I spent getting all of Madison’s stuff out of my house, and talking to Aiden about all my concerns with you because I couldn’t tell Kyla because I thought she would tell you.  Once I finally figured out how I really felt, it took just about everyone to get me to come over here because I didn’t want you to reject me, Aiden, Glen, Kyla, even Madison helped me out.  Oh, and your dad gave me a phone call this morning telling me that if I fix your heart, I would have to come over every day and watch you make out with some random girl.” She finished off laughing…wow, my dad would do that…he knows me too well, and Ashley.
