Complicated.
12b:
Ashley played with the skinny green straw sticking out of the top of her cup, sloshing it around several times, then plunging it through the crazy amount of crushed ice their server gave her. She put the straw between her lips and sucked whatever liquid that would come up, which was barely considered a sip in her opinion. They’d only been at the restaurant for fifteen minutes, hadn’t even gotten their food yet, and she’d already consumed an entire lemonade.
“So,” Spencer said, clearing her throat, leaning her elbows against the high-top table they were seated at. She stared at the woman sitting across from her. They hadn’t spoken much since they left the studio. Other than a few words here and there, it had been mostly silent between them. In the elevator ride down to the lobby and in the car ride to the restaurant — silence. Weird, uncomfortable silence. “What did you think about the photo shoot?”
Ashley set her cup down on the table in front of her and leaned back in her chair. “Oh, um, I liked it. It was cool,” she replied, smiling slightly. “I’ve never seen you so focused and in control.”
“Yeah.” Feeling the heat of a blush coming on, Spencer rested her chin in her upturned palm, pressing her cool fingers against her warming cheek. She absently picked at her silverware with the other hand. “I, I kind of go into this zone when I’m working. Everything around me fades away, and all of my attention is on the subject and how I can capture it through the lens of my camera.”
“Subject?” With a smirk and a raised eyebrow, the dark, curly-haired woman asked, “You mean, hot, half-naked models?”
Spencer grinned. “I’m not always photographing hot, half-naked models. But, in this case, yes, that was my subject.”
Right then, the waiter, Todd, according to the name tag on his shirt, walked up with their food. “BLT Club?” he asked, looking between the two women. Spencer held up her hand. He placed that order in front of her. “And the oriental chicken salad is for you,” he said as he gave Ashley her food.
“Thank you.” Before he could run off, Ashley held up her cup. “I need a refill. Lemonade, no ice.”

DOODLE!! Oh man I missed you so much. And then there’s an update! It’s like christmas only in November! Oh and it was good. Stupid stupid Ashley. And Spencer, oh she’s so cut up about it. But if she’s this cut up now… oh this doesn’t bode well for Corey does it. Man. I feel sorry for her already. Although, you could be novel and have the first Spashley fic not to actually HAVE a Spashley. that would be… HORRIBLE. Don’t do it. I’ll pay you not to do it. I’ll kidnap you and offer you… cheese. I missed you :) Thanks for posting :) It made my day.

DAMN!!!! I can’t believe what just happened. I hope that Spencer talks to Ashley again so that they will not hate each other. PMS and GREAT UPDATE!!!!

smooth, Ash, very smooth ;-) wicked update mate! hope they sort themselves out and get on – I think a drunken gathering at Ash’s place is in order, a few home truths coming out, maybe the revelation of a few feelings that have been brought back to the surface? actually, shit, no, that was my night last night ;-) more soon please! I feel there is some unfinished business between the two of them! Jx

Woot! Nice update. I’m way sleepy or I might write more but I just thought I’d say this in the simplest way possible. “Me likey. A lot.” Heh. That’s me for you, not always the most coherent being in the world, but whatcha ya gonna do ’bout it? :) The way I see it, you don’t want to change me. I am a very good person to have around. I comment frequently and I often sound like a caveman when I post my thoughts when tired. You can’t really ask for anything better. Seriously. You can’t. Update soon DOODLE!

I think I’ve been waiting for this post for…TOO LONG!! Remember when you said that you’d have the next bit up over the weekend and it never materialized? Well, I have to say, don’t say it if you don’t mean it!!! You’re screwing with people when you promise something like that. It’s like dangling a carrot in front of our poor bunny noses and then snatching it away! I was practically salivating!! No joke. Yeah, so when you said you would have the chapter up, I took you rather seriously, at your word, and I’ve been dying for this part!! I thought we might get a Spashley moment, but this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind…haha..that’s okay though. I know the payoff will be huge, colossal!! Like nothing else. So keep writing, and if you do dangle a carrot in front of our noses, for the love of God, do not take it away!!!

fuck fuck fuck…i agree, damn it. that didn’t go so well! but ashley would’ve been too stinted around spencer if she didn’t tell her what was really on her mind. spencer reacted vehemently, their breakup was such a difficult part in her life and for her to have thought it was her fault…sucks. but after four years, i wouldn’t have expected her to react like that unless she still felt something for ashley. or i’m stupid. and thats usually the case! great update though, thank you.
