We’ve been standing here for a minute now and I still haven’t said anything. I can tell she’s getting tired of waiting because she’s starting to turn around to continue to my apartment. But I’m quick to grab her hand and turn her back around.

Looking in her eyes I say barley above a whisper.  “You’re right, I’m sorry. I know I haven’t been really welcoming and it haves nothing to do with you. I think you’re a nice girl.” She’s still giving me that blank stare. I sigh and continue.  “I just don’t like mixing my work life with my personal life. So I don’t really carry on conversations with my co-workers.  

She’s smiles at me. “But were not at work anymore Ashley. So can we be friends now?”

Friends? She has got to be kidding me. The thoughts that run through my mind when I think about this girl is a little more then friendly.

“Sure.”

And there goes the smile.

“Please don’t start that again.” She says as she takes her hand back that I forgot I had been holding. But was quickly reminded of when the contact was lost.

“What?”

Ok I’m confessed now I didn’t do anything. At least I don’t think I did, did I?

“The short answers.”

“Okay, we can try to be friends.”

The smile returns and this time I smile back. Then she turns and starts walking. “Come on, my moms probably waiting outside your place.” I nod my head and walk beside her.

Ten minutes later we where outside my apartment and just like she said her mom was leaning on the car waiting. As we got closer I could see her smiling at us. I gave her a light wave as I turned around to start heading to my apartment but Spencer quickly grabbed my hand tugging me toward her mom.

“Hey mom, this is my friend Ashley, I was telling you about.” She said nodding at me as we stopped in front of her mom.

What she talks to her mom about me.

Her mom eyes ran all over me like she was searching for something. After she did or didn’t find what she was looking for she offered her hand to me witch I took and shook. “Hi Ash, I guess you all ready now by now I’m Spencer mom.”
