Chapter Four

“Ok so what’s the plan?” I asked as I lounged on my back on Spencer’s bed.

“Well…I was thinking we could just be honest with them and maybe that would work.” Spencer said as she lay beside me. “I think the only one who will give us any problems is my mom.”

“Yeah…she is evil that way.” I said groaning.

“Hey!” Spencer nudged me in my side causing me to giggle. “As much as I disagree with how my mother treats our relationship she’s not the devil and I would appreciate it if you would stop calling her that.”

I rolled over onto my side and cupped Spencer’s face with my hands. I leaned over and kissed her lips softly causing her to smile. I pulled back and looked deep into her eyes where I could see a sparkle that made my heart skip. “Spence…”

“Yeah Ash?” She said, never breaking eye contact.

“She IS the devil!” I said laughing and ducking as Spencer’s pillow came towards my head. She reached for me and pinned me to the bed straddling my waist. I couldn’t help but laugh over and over as she looked at me with frustration.

“You aren’t going to win any brownie points if you don’t try to be nice.” She said crossing her arms pouting.

“Why would I need to win brownie points with your mom? She hates me anyways….so there’s no point.” I said with a knowing smile.

“I wasn’t referring to brownie points with my mom…” She looked down at me and I looked up at her with a confused face. I wasn’t sure what she was talking about because I knew I had Mr. C. in the palm of my hands and her brothers, well their opinions really didn’t matter to me. She let out a cough and raised an eyebrow.

“Who were you referring to?”

“Me!” She said throwing her hands up in the air.

“But you already love me…why should I work on more brownie points?” I said smiling.

“Oh so since you already have me there’s no point in trying?” She said pouting. “Who says I will stick around?”
