“ugh family stuff is so overrated…”

“and you would know” she snapped at me

“ouch…”

“sorry…but um…yeah I’ll go tonight…what time?”

“uh I’ll let you know…” I said grinning to myself

“ok?”

“yeah well I have to go pick up Kyla…but I will see you later”

“uh yeah…bye”

“bye spence” I said then I hung up…

I picked up Kyla from her friend Amanda’s house then we stopped at a flower shop on the way home and I got back into the car with a red rose

“who’s that for?” she asked

“Spencer…”

“you still caught up on her huh?”

“oh come on Ky…”

“oh man…” she said looking at me

“what?”

“you love her…”

“I don’t love her…”

“yes you do! You love Spencer…aw ash…”

“shut up…look I’m dropping you off at the loft, then I’ll be home to take you to the bonfire…”

“ok cool…” she said “…I cant believe you love Spencer…well actually…yes I can…”

“ok you can get out now…” I told her stopping in front of our apartment

I went over Spencer’s and her brother answered the front door

“hey ash…”

“hey glen, is Spencer home?”

“uh yeah in her room I think…”

“ok thanks” I said as he let me in then I walked up the stairs and I held the rose to my chest then leaned against her doorway and she sat on her bed typing on her computer, she looked way too cute…

I cleared my throat and she looked over at me and a smile spread across her face

“how’s eight sound?” I said in a sweet voice then she stood up and I walked over to her handing her the rose

“ash…”

“I’ll take that as a yes…” I said smiling then turning around then I stopped and looked back in her room “…and yes it is a date…” I added then I walked out

Before I knew it we were at the beach…just our group of friends around the fire with beer and some music playing…it was chill, then Spencer got there

“how’d you do it?” Aiden asked

“do what?”

“convince her to come tonight as a date?”
