I was pouring myself some coffee when Blaire got home walking through the apartment door

“honey I’m home…” she said laughing putting her huge bag down then I walked up to her and kissed her

“I missed you last night…” I told her “…and I have a surprise for you…” I added

“ooh a surprise? Does it have to do with the…” she started then Spencer walked down the hall and into the kitchen “…um…” Blaire questioned looking at me

“um B, this is Spencer…my best friend from back home and she’s kinda staying with us until Saturday…” I explained

“hi…” Spencer said then Blaire smiled at her

“well…any friend of Ashley’s in a friend of mine…I’m Blaire by the way…” she said laughing a little then she shook Spencer’s hand

“nice to meet you…I’ve heard a lot about in the past…ten hours…” Spencer told her

 “oh well…all good things I hope…” Blaire said putting her arm around my waist

“well yeah…” Spencer said glancing at Blaire’s hand on my waist “…but I was going to go shower, it was nice meeting you Blaire…” Spencer told her then she left and went back into the bathroom in her room

“so…thanks for telling me when we talked on the phone…” Blaire said to me

“she just kind of showed up…I can’t let her stay in a hotel…”

“because now that she’s here you still like her…”

“like her what? no Blaire…” I told her

“Ashley…it’s fine if she stays here…this is your place, not mine, just…I don’t know, you could have told me…” Blaire said to me going to sit on the couch

“can you please not get mad at me right now?”

“I’m not mad Ashley I’m just confused…” she told me

“confused about what?”

“her sudden visit? Why you’re so ‘ok’ with her staying here…”

“because she was my best friend…she is my best friend…”

“just…tell me right now…” she started “…do you still have feelings for her?”

“no.” I told her hoping she didn’t realize I was lying.

“ok.” she replied simply then I sat down on the couch next to her and she put her head on my lap
