Chapter 8

Chapter 8:

Spencer laid there beside of Ashley, she could feel Ashley's hand against her stomach. She didn't want to move a muscle and wake the gorgeous girl that was beside her.

After a few minutes had passed by Spencer's eyes widened. "Crap. I have to pee." She whispered to herself as she looked at Ashley who was still fast asleep.

Spencer slowly reached down lightly holding onto Ashley's hand, trying to move it. Ashley tightened her fingers around Spencer's. "Don't go." Ashley mumbled out loud from her slumber.

Spencer smiled brightly at her best friend. "Ash, I have to pee." She said lightly.

Ashley just scooted closer against Spencer, no words were said but deep down Spencer knew Ashley was telling her she didn't want her to get up. Spencer sat there for a few more minutes until her stomach started hurting. "Ash, I have to get up." Spencer said, sliding out of the bed.

Ashley rolled over onto her stomach as Spencer stepped into the bathroom. She looked at herself, 'Does she like me?' she thought to herself as she walked over to the toilet then went pee. Spencer looked down at the tooth brush that was on the sink, she had left the first time she stayed all night at Ashley's. She picked up the tooth brush, sliding on some tooth paste before she began brushing her teeth.

She put some deodorant on then began brushing her hair when she heard a light knock on the door. "Yes?" Spencer asked.

"Can I come in? I have to pee." Ashley said, her sleepy voice seeping through her words.

Spencer opened the bathroom door, looking at her best friend she smiled. Ashley's hair was sticking up everywhere as she rubbed her sleepy eyes, trying to wake herself up.

Spencer looked over at Ashley, who was washing her hands. "Hey, my mom is having a barbeque slash pool party today. Would you like to come?" she asked, smiling at Ashley.

"Oh, yeah for sure. I'd love to go. What time does it start?" Ashley asked.

"It starts at two. Do you have any more plans for today or do you just want to hang out before the barbeque?" Spencer asked as she and Ashley walked over towards the bed.

"We can hang out. We should invite Glen and Aiden over. We haven't hung out together in forever!" Ashley said, getting excited.

"Yeah! That sounds like fun!" Spencer said, texting her brother.

Text message:

Spencer- "Get your ass over here at Ashley's and bring your boo too!"

Glen- "Okay!! We'll be over in a few!"

"They're coming." Spencer told Ashley as she laid back onto Ashley's bed.

Ashley climbed in beside of her, smiling. "What should we do before they get here?" Ashley asked Spencer.

"Hmm...I have two things in mind." Spencer said, biting her lip at Ashley.

"Which are what?" Ashley asked, her cheeks turning red.

"Well, one is BREAKFAST and two is well, I don't really have a two yet." Spencer giggled.

"God you're such a dork sometimes, Spence. What do you want for breakfast? I want...PANKCAKES!" Ashely yelled, getting excited.

"I want bacoooonnnn!" Spencer gleamed as she hopped up off the bed, dragging Ashley down the stairs with her.

"Hey, slow down!" Ashley said almost tripping as she sped walked down the steps following Spencer.

Spencer just giggled, tightening her grip on Ashley's hand until they reached the kitchen. Spencer twirled around, giggling then jumped up onto one of the chairs that was at the kitchen table. "Bacon please!" Spencer said to Ashley.

Ashley rolled her eyes going to her refrigerator, picking up a bag that held the bacon in it. "Microwaved?" Ashley asked Spencer.

Spencer shook her head yes, smiling. Ashley got four pieces of bacon out and put them on a plate sticking them into the microwave for thirty seconds. "Pancakes time!" Ashley gleamed.

"I don't know how but, I forget every time how to make pancakes even though there my favorite." Ashley giggle as she looked at the back of the box. She began adding in each ingredient until four pancakes were finally made.

"You're so cute." Spencer said, laughing. Her face turning red.

"Yeah, I know." Ashley said, reaching Spencer her bacon then placing her pancakes down onto the table. She went over to the cabinet getting herself some syrup then walking back over to the table, sitting down next to Spencer.

Spencer got a piece of bacon leaning over dipping it into Ashley's syrup then eating it. "Hey! My syrup." Ashley said, giggling.

Spencer pouted holding up another piece of bacon. 'Pwease?" She asked in her best saddened voice.

Ashley scrunched her eyebrows together, thinking. "Fineeee! I guess I can share my syrup with you." She said.

After finishing their breakfast Spencer got a text.

*ding* *ding*

Text message:

Glen- "We're here, bitch!"

Spencer rolled her eyes reading the text from her brother. "The idiots are here." Spencer told Ashley. Ashley just laughed as she got hers and Spencer's plate putting them in the sink.

*knock* *knock*

Ashley went to the door, seeing Glen and Aiden standing there holding hands. "Hey, guys. Come on in." Ashley said, stepping to the side.

Glen and Aiden stepped inside, Aiden taking off his jacket then reaching for his boyfriends hanging them both onto the coat rack. Glen smiled at his cute boyfriend. "Thanks, honey." He said, grinning. Aiden just looked away slightly embarrassed.

"Come on. Let's go into the living room." Ashley suggested walking into the kitchen notifying Spencer where everyone was going.

They all went into the living room. Aiden sat down at the couch with Glen sitting close beside him. Spencer went over to the rocking chair and sat down. "Hey, that's my favorite chair." Ashley pouted at Spencer.

"But, I don't want to get uppp! I like this chair too" Spencer said still sitting in the chair.

"Just sit with her then." Glen suggested looking at Spencer, winking.

Ashley cleared her throat, "Yeah, okay." She walked over sitting on Spencer's lap, scooting around getting comfortable.

Spencer let one of her arms sit beside of Ashley's leg while her other arm laid against the arm rest. Ashley laid back against Spencer. Ashley could feel Spencer's breath against the back of her neck, getting chills.

"So, guys. What are we going to do?" Spencer asked. "We have an hour before the pool party starts. She said, checking the time on her phone.

"I don't know. Play a game?" Glen suggested to everyone.

"Okay. What game?" Spencer asked.

"Hmm...let's play true or false. You obviously ask a question to someone and they have to answer truthfully by saying either true or false." Aiden said, excitedly.

"Never heard of it but, okay. Who is going first?" Ashley said, letting her body sink back into Spencer's.

"I'll go first!" Glen yelled. Everyone laughed.

"Of course you will go first, dork." Spencer said to her brother.

"Shut up, Spence. Aiden, do you love your boyfriend?" Glen giggled.

Aiden blushed. "True. Ashley, are you falling in love with someone?"

"Uhm...I don't know. Can I answer maybe? Ugh. Maybe." Ashley tensed up against Spencer. "Spence, do you like anyone?" Ashley asked.

Spencer's fingers trailed little circles on Ashley's leg, "Yeah, true. Glen, are you an idiot?" Spencer laughed.

"Meanie, FALSE!" Aiden answered for Glen grabbing onto his hands, interlocking their fingers.

"Ugh. Guys, get a room." Ashley said getting up from Spencer.

Spencer looked up, a bit disappointed when she felt Ashley's warm body heat sink away. "Where are you going?" She asked Ashley.

"It's ten till two. I just looked into the kitchen and I saw it on the stoves clock." She said, everyone started getting up.

Everyone went to the front door, getting their coats on and putting their shoes on.

"I'll ride with Ash over to the house, Glen." Spencer said to her brother. He just nodded grabbing Aiden's hand. They began walking towards Aiden's car after telling Spencer and Ashley bye.

After grabbing their things, Spencer stepped outside, waiting for Ashley to lock the front door. They began walking towards Ashley's Subaru.

Ten minutes later they had arrived at Spencer's house. They stepped out of Ashley's car and began walking up to the front door. Stepping inside Spencer could hear her mother asking Glen where she was at.

"Hey, mom. I'm here." Spencer smiled stepping into the kitchen where her mom, Glen and Aiden were. Ashley followed suit to Spencer.

"Hey, Mrs. Carlin." Ashley said, standing beside of Spencer.

"Ash, how many times do I have to tell you? Call me Paula." Paula smiled brightly hugging both Ashley and Spencer at the same time.

"I'm sorry, Paula. How have you been?" Ashley asked as Paula pulled back from the hug.

"Eh you know. After Spencer's father left a year ago I was just a giant home body for a while but, I'm finally getting out there now. Living life to it's fullest." Paula said, lightly smiling at Ashley.

"That's good. I'm glad you're doing better now." Ashley smiled back at Paula. Spencer smiled at how cute and genuine Ashley was while talking to her mother.

"Oh, Spence. I need you to go help Madison out. She's packing in her food she brought. Can you do that for me?" Paula looked at Spencer with a smile that said 'You have to do as your mother says.'

"Yeah, of course, mom. I'll be back guys." Spencer said, walking outside towards Madison.

Paula walked on outside, talking to the new guests that were arriving.

"Okay. Spill it, Ash." Glen said, getting directly to the point.

"What are you talking about?" Ashley asked completely confused at Glen's question.

"Oh you know what I'm talking about. Back there you said that you maybe are falling in love with someone. Is it my sister?" Glen asked.

"Guys, I don't know. Maybe. I just, I don't know how to react to these feelings I'm having towards her. Does she even like me?" Ashley asked, confusion dripping through her words.

"Duh! You know she likes you, Ash. The way she looks at you. I mean, the way she holds you and stuff it just screams I LOVE THIS GIRL!" Aiden piped in.

Ashley blushed. "Uh-oh you better move in quick looks like someone is getting cozy with Spencer. Glen said, teasingly.

Ashley arched her eyebrows in jealousy. "Yeah, thanks for showing me that Glen." She said, walking away from them.

"Glen, babe. You don't do that." Aiden said, slightly upset.

"I was just joking. Spencer hates Madison and we all know that Ashley and Spencer are destined to be together." Glen said, poking his boyfriend's side, earning a light smile.

About an hour into the pool party Spencer went over to Glen and Aiden. "Hey, guys. Sorry I've been busy helping mom with EVERYTHING! Where is Ash at?" she wondered out loud.

"Ash is M.I.A" Glen said.

"Why? What happened?" Spencer asked, slightly confused.

"You and Madison happened and your stupid brother." Aiden said still upset about what happened earlier.

Glen pouted. "I'm not stupid."

"Glen, what did you do?" Spencer said, frustrated with her brother.

"Well, I kind of...accidentally said that Madison was getting cozy towards you and she just stormed off. I haven't seen her since. I'm sorry, Spence." Glen said apologetically.

"Ugh. I have to go find her." Spencer said, walking towards her houses back door and into the kitchen.

'Well, I guess I could check rooms in the house before I go over to her house.' Spencer thought to herself. She went into her mother's room, Glen's room, the two bathrooms, living room, and then finally the last room in the house. Her room.

She stepped inside finding Ashley laid down onto her bed, she was facing towards the windows outside. Her back facing towards Spencer.

"Hey, Ash. Why are you up here? Is something wrong?" Spencer asked sitting down at the side of her bed.

Ashley turned over, sitting up onto her butt. "No there isn't anything wrong, Spence. Don't worry." Ashley said, confusion sinking out of her words.

"Ashley I've known you for years. I know when you're lying to me and well, you are right now. So, tell me what's wrong."

Ashley looked down at the bed then back up at Spencer. "Kiss me."
