Complicated.
8b:
Spencer handed her credit card over to the young man working the cash register and watched him quickly slide it through the card slot connected to the computer screen in front of him. She lightly tapped her fingers on the counter top as the receipt for her purchase printed out. He handed the card back with the receipt wrapped around it. “Thank you.” She put the card and receipt away, and stayed where she was, waiting for the order.
She was surprised at how well she had managed to hold herself together. Ever since the phone call the day before, she had spent a lot of time brainstorming as many excuses as she could possibly think of to get out of what would surely be an uncomfortable situation. Another talk with Aiden was what got her to go through with it. After six years, he knew how to talk her into just about anything by using the simplest tactics: charm, persuasion, guilt. He always got her to give in.
Her gaze drifted to the table Ashley had snagged over in a corner by the stage. The brunette was slouched forward in her chair with both elbows on the table, one hand holding her head, the other fiddling with her cell phone.
Ashley Davies was not a transparent, easy to read person. She kept most of her feelings well hidden from those around her. Spencer had picked up on this while they were dating, and eventually learned how to read her. An ability she still seemed to possess, four years later. Ashley was trying to hide it, but Spencer could see. See the same nervous, unsure look she had seen on her own face that morning, in the mirror. Ashley was freaking out. She didn’t want to be here. That was obvious. So what made her come? Spencer had one guess: Aiden. Ashley wanted to see him. She said so herself on the phone. Aiden was the only reason either of them showed up, and he wasn’t even here. Every minute Aiden didn’t walk into that café, she grew more aggravated. She didn’t want to be left alone with Ashley any longer.
She was snapped out of her thoughts when three large paper cups, fitted plastic lids and cardboard sleeves attached, were placed in front of her. “Thank you,” she said, reaching for the cups. The boy behind the counter smiled at her before waving forward the next customer in line.
