Spencer and Ashley were eating breakfast in Spencer’s kitchen. Glen walked into the kitchen. “Good morning, sis,” Glen said. “Morning, Ashley.” Spencer was trying hard to not roll her eyes. She and Glen had barely spoken since he had caused problems with her relationship with Ashley.

Ashley glared at Glen. “What do you want?” asked Ashley coldly.

“Ashley, could I borrow my sister for a second?” Glen asked. Glen sat down at the empty chair.

Ashley looked at Spencer wondering if Spencer needed her support. “I’ll be fine, babe. You could call Kyla to see if we could go swimming later.” Ashley smiled and leaned in for a quick kiss. She went to Spencer’s room to let Spencer and Glen talk.

Spencer looked at her older brother expectantly. “Look, I’m sorry for pursuing Ashley and sabotaging your relationship. I thought maybe she was the real deal for me at the time, forgetting that she was the real deal for you.”

Spencer looked unconvinced. “What’s the catch?” Spencer still had a hard time trusting her brother.

“I want you to stop hating me, Spence. I made a huge mistake by pursuing Ashley.” Spencer slammed her hand against the table.

“That’s the understatement of the century. You went after Ashley after you told me that you knew she was off limits. You also tossed Madison to the side like she was yesterday’s news. I… I thought Ashley might be experimenting, but I know that what we have together never was.” Glen looked down at Spencer’s cup and sighed loudly.

Glen finally looked at his younger sister. “I’ve been a horrible brother so I’m going to make things right. I’m backing off. I won’t get in the way of your happiness anymore.” Glen walked out of the kitchen.

Spencer went upstairs to her room and saw Ashley on her cell phone talking to Kyla. She sat down on her bed. Ashley noticed Spencer. “Alright, we’ll see you later then. Bye.” Ashley hung up. “How’d it go?”

“I don’t know if I should believe him. I don’t trust him.”

“I don’t blame you. I don’t trust him either, Spence.” Ashley noticed the troubled look on Spencer’s face. “Come here. I’m sorry.” Ashley held out her arms and she hugged Spencer. They stood like that for a few moments until Spencer was the one who pulled away from the hug.

“Could we go over to the pool later?” Spencer asked with curiosity.

“Yep,” answered Ashley. “She said that Christine is out of town so we shouldn’t have a problem.” Ashley caressed Spencer’s cheek.

“Cool.” Spencer kissed Ashley sweetly. Ashley cupped Spencer’s face and sucked on Spencer’s bottom lip. Spencer pulled back from the kiss with a smile. Ashley rested her forehead against Spencer’s. “I love you so much.”

“I love you, too.”
