[u made me happy at 1 point] I sent back

[why did u give me the ring?] she asked

[I don’t need it anymore…] I sent

[r u proposing to Brooke?] she sent

[I don’t know.]

[can u just tlk 2 me…please ash…] she sent and I didn’t’ reply, I just sat my phone down and went downstairs with Brooke

“so…italian?” she asked

“hm…whatever, but that smells awesome” I told her grabbing a drink out of the fridge “hey so I was thinking…what if we take a vacation?”

“um…when and to where exactly?” she asked laughing at the random question

“um…there’s a nine day cruise…goes up and down the Caribbean…please” I begged her

“I mean…I’ll have to take off work…”

“if you can’t we don’t have to go it’s fine I just thought…” I started then she cut me off

“no…no ash of course I want to go…anything to see you in a bikini” she said winking

“psh I’m always in a bikini around here with the pool” I told her

“never nine days straight” she said handing me a plate of pasta

Later I ran upstairs to check my phone for missed calls from Aiden, but none from him…yet I did get a voicemail from Spencer

“hey…it’s me, but you already knew that…look, I’ll help you out with this record thing…I do write for Rolling Stones magazine, so I’ll write you up…put in a few ads, it’s the least I could do to help out my friend…so, if you’re interested you know where to reach me…” she said then it clicked off  and I was taken back for a second because this was huge…I mean rolling stone…I never thought she’d write about me…

“hello?”

“hey…it’s me…” I said “…look I got your message”

“and…” she replied

“are you serious? Like you’d actually write me up…or Aiden and I…”

“well yeah…I think that’s what the world needs, I mean all these bands out there may have the music, but they don’t have you…” she told me

“yeah, well I have to go, but tell me what you need or something and we’ll set up a meeting…” I said

“ok…night Ash…”

“bye” I replied hanging up the phone then I was going downstairs, until Brooke walked into the bedroom
