Spencer’s cell phone rang.  “Hello?” Spencer said.

“Hey you,” said Ashley.

“Hey yourself,” Spencer replied with a smile.  You called just in time.  Ashley let out a light chuckle and Spencer continued, “How did dinner go with your Mom tonight?  I know that you’ve been dreading it since last week.”

“It actually went pretty well, Spence,” stated Ashley.  It was somewhat civil.  It was weird that Christine wanted to have dinner with Kyla and me.  She was almost being all mother-like.  It’s probably due to the new man candy in her life or something.  On to a more important subject, I’m going to tell her about us.

“Really?” Spencer said. 

“Yep,” replied Ashley.  I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life than how I feel about you.  I don’t have anything to hide from her.  I love you and I want the whole world to know it.  I want to shout from the rooftop that we’re together and in love.  We could have it written in the sky.

“Likewise,” Spencer smiled.  Mine either.  Do you want me to be there with you for moral support, Ash?

“That’s really sweet, but I’ll do it on my own,” responded Ashley.  Kyla’s trying to patch things up with her ex-boyfriend Rick so now seems like a good time to talk to her since she’s still all mellow.  I’ll come over later and tell you how it goes.

“Alright, it sounds like a plan to me,” Spencer stated. Good luck.

“Thank you, babe,” said Ashley with a smile.  You’re the best.

“No, you are,” Spencer replied.

“We could have an argument about this all night,” joked Ashley.  You are the best.  I’m already counting the time until I see your face.  Love you.  Bye.

“Love you, too,” Spencer replied.  Alright, we’ll continue this argument later.  Ashley chuckled and Spencer added, “I am, too.  Bye.”  Spencer hung up and a smile formed on Spencer’s lips as well as Ashley’s.  Ashley left her room and found Christine in the kitchen.

“I’m surprised that you’re not out with what’s his name,” began Christine.  His name is Adrian, right?

“No, but it doesn’t really matter if you remember his name anymore,” Ashley responded simply.  Aiden and I are long over, Mom.  I broke up with him since I realized that I was in love with someone else. Christine noticed that Ashley wasn’t laughing.
