CHAPTER THIRTY THREE

ASHLEY’S POV:

I can’t believe I just told off Madison like that, but damn did it feel good. I am so glad I called off the bet too. I feel like this huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Now Spencer and I can just be happy, and she doesn’t have to know anything about it.

Spencer: Hey, is everything okay?

Ashley: Yeah, everything is perfect.

So I just went to practice and told the girls that I was quitting the squad and Madison was the new captain. I was kind of surprised at their reaction. They weren’t too happy that Madison was going to be the new leader of the squad. I think it’s because whenever Madison has any kind of power she acts like a slave driver. Now that that’s over with I am on my way to meet Spencer. I walk to the parking lot and see Spencer waiting for me by my car.

Ashley: Hey.

Spencer: Hey.

Ashley: Sorry I’m a little late, I had to talk to the girls on the squad.

Spencer: It’s okay. I didn’t mind waiting.

Ashley: So what do you want to do?

Spencer: Why don’t we go to the beach for a little while.

Ashley: Sounds good to me.

Ashley: I quit the squad today.

Spencer: Why?

Ashley: It just wasn’t for me any more. Besides Madison always liked to be the one in charge, even when I was captain.

Spencer: Well whatever makes you happy.

Ashley: What if I told you being a stripper made me happy. Would me support me then?

Spencer: Yes, if I was your only customer.

Ashley: I could work with that.

Spencer: So you and Kyla seem be getting along pretty well lately.

Ashley: Yeah when you and Chelsea there to supervise us.

Spencer: You never told me why you two don’t get along.

Ashley: It’s a long story, but my dad had a one night stand with her mom 16 years ago. Then two years ago she shows up on our doorstep expecting a relationship out of him.

Spencer: Can you blame her for that?

Ashley: It’s more complicated than you think. My dad has been touring since I was three years old. In all that time I get to spend a week with him every year. Then she comes along and I have to share him with her.

Spencer: I understand where your coming from, but you can’t blame Kyla for your father’s mistakes.

Ashley: You sound like my therapist.

Spencer: I get it from my dad. He’s a social worker.

Ashley: Even though I hate to admit it, I know deep down that it’s not Kyla’s fault. But my dad has always been my best friend and I don’t want to loose him to anyone.

Spencer: You won’t lose him Ash. He loves you and I’m sure he feels the same way about you. Now would it be so bad to let Kyla have a chance to have a relationship with him?

Ashley: Even if I did try to make things right with Kyla I wouldn’t know where to start. I have been a complete bitch to her ever since we met.

Spencer: Just be the person you are when you are around me.

Ashley: A hot, sexy, girlfriend?

Spencer: Umm no. The caring, sweet, and loveable Ashley.

Ashley: I don’t know, I guess I could try working things out with her.

Spencer: Good.

Ashley: So did you ever find that strawberries and cream lip gloss?

Spencer: Why don’t you kiss me and find out.
