The next day, having recovered from their hangovers, Ashley and Spencer decided to phone Arthur.

“Spencer,” he spoke sternly. “We made an agreement. You were to leave there on the second of January. You’ve got one day left and then you’re coming home.”

Ashley interjected, “Captain C, could she stay a couple more days? I have to be back in Los Angeles soon, and it would be nice …”

“Ashley I can’t do that. She has to be back in school and that was the deal. I’m sorry. Spencer?”

“Yes,” the blonde answered.

“We’ll be at the airport. Goodbye.” Then he was gone.

The rocker let out a frustrated sigh as she hung up the phone. “This sucks, I don’t want you to leave Angel,” Ashley pouted.

“I don’t want to leave either Ash,” Spencer replied sadly.

“You know, when you go back to Germany, you have to at least try to look like your having a good time. If you misbehave your parents will never let you come back.”

“I know,” Spencer sighed. “I’ll try, it’s gonna be hard though, my Dad’s still trying to cope with the fact that we’re the real thing.”

Ashley leaned back into the couch and pulled Spencer in between her legs, wrapping her arms around the teen’s middle. “Maybe I should kidnap you or something,” she muttered resting her head on the blonde’s shoulder.

“Nope, wouldn’t work, my dad would find you and then kill you.”

“Maybe we should run away then,” Ashley suggested playing with Spencer’s hands.

“Can’t do that either, my dad would send the whole Air force after us.”

“I can take them,” the rocker gloated earning a light chuckle from the blonde, “Hey guess what?”

“What?”

“I love you,” Ashley answered with a smile.

Spencer giggled and turned to kiss the rocker’s nose lightly, “You are so …”

“Spencer, do not I repeat do not say cute,” the rocker growled. “We’ve been over this.”

“I was going to say adorable,” Spencer supplied smugly.

Ashley rolled her eyes, “Yes, thank you, adorable is so much better,” she said sarcastically. Suddenly, the rocker grew quiet as her mood went serious, “Spencer, about last night, I’m sorry …”

“It’s not your fault Ash, we we’re both out of it,” the teen reassured.
