Glen: Spence!

Spencer: Oh for the love of God what?

Glen: Thank you!

With that the front door closed. Spencer waited for someone to reappear and ask her for something but thankfully it never happened.

She laughed to herself.

Spencer: Can I get anything for ANYONE else?!

Aiden: I’d love a cup of coffee.

Spencer slammed on her brakes.

Aiden: Woah, sorry to scare you.

Spencer turned her head to find a tall young man standing next to her car.

Aiden: I’m Aiden.

He stuck out his hand and Spencer accepted.

Spencer: Spencer.

Aiden: How many people do you have living in that place?

She laughed and was sure she was blushing.

Spencer: Enough. Do you live here?

Spencer pointed to the house where her run in with its occupant did not go well.

Aiden: Oh you mean with Ashley? No.

Spencer: Is that her name?

Aiden nodded.

Aiden: Let me guess, she gave you a real warm reception?

Spencer: You could call it that.

Aiden: Don’t mind her. Her bark is much worse than her bite.

Aiden turned and began walking toward the front door.

Spencer: It was nice to meet you.

He spun on his toes and gave Spencer a heart-melting grin. He was by every definition handsome. His smile was warm, his eyes were big and welcoming and he had muscles on top of muscles.

Ashley: Hey lover boy!

Spencer craned her neck to get a better look at the young woman in the doorway. She was still in her cut off shorts only now she was wearing an old t-shirt cut at the neck to drape around her shoulders. Spencer hated to admit it but these two made a gorgeous couple.

Ashley: Can you quit talking to Sally Sunshine and get your ass in here!

Aiden shrugged his shoulders.

Aiden: When Ashley callsÉ

Spencer: Yeah, I got that.

Aiden: I’m sure I’ll see you again soon. I spend a lot of time hereÉ

She watched as Ashley wrapped her arms around Aiden and pulled him in for a kiss. Spencer had hoped the kiss would be sweet and innocent but this bordered on porn. And if that wasn’t bad enough Ashley made sure to keep her eyes wide open and focused on Spencer. It looked as if she was claiming her territory and Spencer got the hint. Quickly she put her car in reverse and backed out of the driveway, cursing herself for several reasons. One, she had a boyfriend. Danny was a steady, wonderful, handsomeÉacross the country boyfriend. And two, Ashley had all but said that she and Aiden were together. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
