Ch 14

After driving around for a few minutes I parked at the playground near an old church. It was getting chilly so after a few minutes of feeding the ducks we got into my back seat and watched an old Disney movie. I think it was a really old Casper movie, but I still don’t know. It was already in here. Ashley loved it though so it’s all good. We went to the store and when we got back to my place I forced Ashley out of the kitchen around ten times before she actually retired to the living room with a glass of wine.

"Ok, its ready" I stated and she smiled as I brought our plates to the coffee table, then I went back for the bottle of wine we were sharing

"Sweet!" Ashley replied. She was wearing her glasses now because her contacts were bothering her today. "This looks great" she commented as she examined the meal of steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes.

"Thanks" I retorted then I began to eat and sip my wine quietly as Desperate Housewives was on in the background.

"So Spencer how is New York. Have you ever been to the big apple?" she asked and I nodded

"Of course. New York is fun, and bright, and dangerous" I chuckled "There are these restaurants that just blow you away, but everything is pricey. I mean everything"

"Wow, how much does your apartment cost? Do you have a roommate?"

"Well, the apartment is around twelve hundred dollars a month depending on the utilities. I do have a roommate. She and her husband have been occupying my apartment since I’ve been here. They are both cops"

"Cops?" she asked confused "You live with cops?" she asked and I nodded

"I moved out of my parent’s house when I was 17 and I live right by the precinct so it’s never quiet in my neighborhood. It’s always booming with sirens and car alarms. That is true about where I live. After a while the car alarms going off seems comforting"

"Wow, I have to visit that place one day" she gushed and I nodded enthusiastically then laughed

"Maybe you can move in with me after the wedding" I nudged her shoulder and she laughed
