Chapter Thirteen

Spencer’s P.O.V.

My Mom and I were having a wonderful breakfast of cereal when she had offered me a ride.  I declined since Ashley told me she wanted to give her new girlfriend a ride to school.  We had been dating for a couple of days now, but I still haven’t told my Mom that Ashley and I weren’t just friends anymore.  I didn’t know how she was going to take the we’re dating thing.  I took a deep breath hoping to build up my courage.  “Mom, I have something to tell you and I don’t know how you’re going to take it.  Just remember that I am happy.”  I rushed through the whole thing.

“Alright, slow down.  What’s going on?” 

“Ashley and I are dating now.  I want to see if the we couple thing can work out.”  My Mom looked surprised at the statement.  I was dreading what her answer would be.

“I don’t want to see you heartbroken anymore.”  I understood where my mother was coming from, but being in love was about putting your heart on the line, and taking risks, love wasn’t easy? 

“I know you don’t agree with my dating Ashley, but things are changing.  I don’t want her to be the one who had got away.”  I heard the doorbell ring.  I knew it was Ashley.  “Uh that’s Ashley.  Could we talk about this later?”  My Mom nodded and I kissed her on her cheek.  I opened the door.  “Good morning, Ash.” I kissed Ashley sweetly on her lips.

“Good morning, beautiful.”  I felt my cheeks flush due to the beautiful comment.  I was worse than a school girl who had a crush in middle school.  “You’re really cute when you blush.  I got us some coffee and doughnuts.”  It was a really sweet gesture even though I just ate breakfast, but I would never deny the offer of doughnuts.  Ashley put her arm around me and walked me to her Porsche.  She opened the car door for me.

“Thank you.”

“You’re very welcome.”  Ashley leaned in and kissed me passionately.  I nibbled on her bottom lip and Ashley continued kissing me while cupping my face.

Ashley pulled up in her black Porsche at King High.  Ashley leaned into kiss me.  It was something new, something to get used to since I was used to her kissing other girls, but this was a good thing and a girl could get used to it.  I cupped Ashley’s face and sucked on her bottom lip.  She ran her fingers through my hair and brought my face closer to hers.  I heard Kyla clearing her throat.  She was still with the rebound blogger Jake who was looking like he had won the lottery. 

Ashley pulled back from the kiss and groaned.  I chuckled lightly at Ashley’s reaction.  Her arm was around my shoulder.  “You are so lucky you are an only child, babe.” 

Kyla looked unamused at Ashley’s statement.  “I heard that, Ash.  So I take it you’re together now?” 

Ashley looked at me and smiled.  “Yes, we are, sis.”  Ashley was playing with our hands.  I could pinch myself since I never thought Ashley and I could be together.

“Cool.  So since you two are out would you mind being in a documentary for my blog?” 

“What kind of documentary?” asked a suspicious Ashley.  “Of Spencer and me making out?  No thanks we’ll pass.”  Jake’s face fell. 

“No, no.”  Ashley glared at him.  “Kyla, get the blogger away before I have to injure him.”  Kyla nodded and dragged Jake away from both of us but we could hear Kyla scolding him. 

I faced Ashley and Ashley gazed into my blue eyes.  “You know I love you, right?”  I smiled and Ashley returned the smile. 

I was loving this new side to Ashley.  I felt like everything was finally falling into place.  “It wouldn’t hurt you to remind me though.”  Ashley chuckled.

“I am so in love with you, Spencer Carlin.” 

“I am so in love with you, too, Ashley Davies.”  I kissed Ashley on her nose.

“You missed my lips.”  Ashley puckered her lips and I leaned in to kiss her softly.  She cupped my face and I tangled my fingers in her curls.  Ashley pulled back from the kiss with a smile.  “Thank you for giving me a chance, for giving us a chance.  Would you like to have dinner with me?”

Ashley was asking me out on a date.  I pretended to ponder her question by putting my index finger on my chin and Ashley had a worried look on her face.  “Yes, I would.  I would love to go out with you.”  A smiled formed on Ashley’s lips.  We got out of the Porsche and walked into King High holding hands.
