Chapter 2

Bar….

She sits next to me and I can smell her perfume, the smell of rainbows and sunshine. She speaks, “Hi, I’m Ashley, how are you”

(How am I, OMG, how can I tell her, erm, I’m head over heels in lust for you, oh you’re so beautiful, how can someone be as stunning as you be here alone, all these things run in your head), ”I’m good, thanks” I manage to muster out.

“Spencer,” I say as she touches my hand, sparks fly and this can only mean one thing and that I’m doomed.

”Where you heading” she says, she is so close I can feel her breath as she speaks to me. ”New York” I reply.

”Me too” she replies.

(I’m going to die, right here right now)

We chat, and as we do I find out she is in a band, and they are touring America, she had to stay behind as she had issues to sort out, not good ones from the way she is speaking to me.  I just stare glazed eyes at her as she speaks I’m like a lost puppy. (I’m doomed)

My heart is pounding so fast sat next to her. She tells me that she saw me staring at her earlier. I blush, she isn’t mad about it in fact she tells me she is flattered. I give a smile to her.  She says she came and sat next to me as she thought I was cute.

She asks me if there is someone in my life assuming I have a husband, I sharply maybe too sharply say ‘no’.  I tell her I have not been with anyone since I split from my girlfriend six months ago, she doesn’t seem disappointed, she tells me she has just broken up with her girlfriend which is why she is late to New York..

She asks me if I want a drink, I say yes and we head to the bar.  Couple of shots later an I feel my head spinning, she asks if I have eaten. I clearly haven’t since the morning. She orders food as she is worried I’ll be too drunk to get on the plane.
