English Rose –chapter 2: Eyes speak from the heart

A friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself

‘Spencer Carlin you are the cutest thing’ Ashleys thoughts were shaken by when the plane hit a strong turbulence it shook the plane quite a bit but it didn’t seem to faze the sleeping Spencer one bit she slept soundly, the plane tilted to the right a little causing a sleeping Spencer to lean on Ashley still she didn’t not awaken she merely rested her head on Ashleys shoulder, Ashley whispered a silent thank you to the heavens. Ashley could feel Spencer’s steady breathe on her neck sending a wave of comfort through Ashleys body she was never one to cuddle especially not a totally stranger but something about Spencer made her feel safe she didn’t want it to end. Ashley laid her head on top of her hand away from Spencer not wanting to wake her up, she to fell asleep.

 After awhile their peaceful sleep was interrupted by the speaker box

 “ Ladies and gentleman there is 1 remaining hour  till we reach a destination, the time here in England is 12:00am I hope you enjoyed your flight and thank you for flying with American Express” the pilot’s announcement woke Spencer from her sleep, she rubbed the sleep from her eyes once her eyes had adjusted to the surrounding light she realised that she had been resting on Ashleys shoulder whilst she slept looking up at Ashley Spencer saw that Ashley was still sleeping she carefully removed her head from Ashleys shoulder trying not to wake her with not success, Ashley stirred from the sudden coldness and loss of contact on her shoulder where Spencer had been resting her head not moments before Ashley opened her eyes and meet the stare of a wide eyed Spencer “I-Im s-sorr-ry As-sh I-I didn’t realis…” Ashley gave her an understanding smile whilst cutting her off “Spence chill nobody was hurt and plus I didn’t mind as you might have seen I was asleep and no harm was done” Spencer felt the heat rise and settle in her cheeks.

Ashley smiled holding in her urge to laugh at Spencer’s embarrassed face her noise crinkled in the way that melted Spencers heart, Spencer held Ashleys gaze until she felt a sudden tapping on her right shoulder she turned and looked through the space between the seats that lead to the row behind Ashley followed Spencers eyes to Kelly “Spencer are you ok babe?” Kelly looked Ashley up and down this didn’t go unnoticed by Spencer, Ashley scoffed and turned away facing forward, Spencer was starting to regret bringing Kelly along she could tell that Kelly was going to ruin any chance of her getting to know Ashley “Kelly im fine and why are you calling me babe?” Spencer didn’t want to snap at Kelly but the looks she was and still is giving Ashley even though she had turned around were annoying Spencer immensely “I’m just trying to help you out that girl is totally flirting with you, and you do know that is Ashley Davies right? She practically hunts girls gay or straight” Ashley smirked having being mentioned in such a way she could hear every word even though Spencer and Kelly were whispering and failing miserable “yes mom I’m aware of who she is thanks and I’d appreciate if you stopped giving her dirty looks she hasn’t done anything wrong and she’s not hunting me we’re simple talking and laughing” Kelly was taken aback by Spencers words, Spencer turned back around in her seat facing Ashley “sorry about her ash, she gets protective” Ashley turned towards Spencer raising an eyebrow “isn’t that what girlfriends are supposed to do when their girl get ‘hunted’ so to speak” Spencer laughed “she’s so not my girlfriend she’s my dads personal assistant” Ashley was now paying more attention after hearing that Kelly and her weren’t together, together she decided to push the matter further “I bet she wishes she were your girlfriend though huh?” Spencer didn’t know how to answer this question she always thought Kelly’s protectiveness was more of a sisterly thing she never thought for a second that Kelly might just be jealous of people who get close to her.
