Trippy Beginning

Chapter 22 – Two’s Company, Four’s a Crowd (part 2)

Spencer and Sara exited the restaurants toilets; arms linked together in a friendly manner. They approached the table; giggling as they whispered to each other.

Unaware of the on-coming duo, Ice continued to try his best at giving Ashley all the compliments he could think of. His arm held tightly to the back of Ashley’s chair, while his other hand lay awkwardly on her thigh. His closeness and forwardness, was making Ashley quite uncomfortable. And the fact that he was either choosing to ignore her discomfort or was simply oblivious to it annoyed Ashley to an uncharted level.

“I hope we aren’t interrupting?” The cold tone coming from Spencer’s voice caused Ashley to jump. Sara glared at the offending hand that was still on her best friend’s girlfriend’s thigh. The heat on said hand was intensified when Spencer also noticed its placement. In a quick swift motion Ashley roughly removed the offending hand.

Ashley shakes her head at Spencer. Spencer tightened her hold on Sara’s arm, silently telling her that she was un-happy with this situation.

“Well don’t mind us. As Ice has taking Spence’s seat, she can sit next to me” Sara smiled sweetly at Spencer, who returned it just as sweetly. Sara pulled her arm from Spencer’s hold, so she could take her hand instead.

Spencer was guided to Ice’s previous seat y Sara. Ashley’s eyes narrowed, she defiantly did not approve of someone other than herself holding Spencer’s hand. After about 3 seconds past, Ashley decided that this new seating arrangement was not working out.

“Ice go back to your, so Spencer can sit back in hers please” Ashley’s words were as nice as she could get them at that moment in time.

“But Ash she’s sitting by Sara now” Ice pouted, he was reluctant to move from Ashley’s side. By this time Ashley had, had quite enough. One way or the other Spencer was going to be by her side within seconds.

“Move Now!” Ice had no room to protest, at Ashley’s firm command. Sulkily Ice stood from Spencer’s seat and moved round to stand by his own.

“Spence will you come sit with me again please?” Her words softened when it came to talking to Spencer.

“Of course I will sweetie” with a bright smile Spencer stood from Ice’s seat and walked quickly back to her own. The second Spencer sat down Ashley gave her a kiss on the cheek and placed her hand gently on Spencer’s knee; giving it loving brushes with her thumb.

Those small actions made the blonde blush. Sara looked on, she managed to push her feeling for her friend down, she was happy knowing Spencer was happy. Ice on the other hand was now regretting pushing his feelings aside earlier. He hid his anger well behind a tight smile.

At the end of the evening they all parted ways. Ice drove himself home. He had been quiet for most of the night, so they had just let him go without asking any questions.

Ashley had offered to take Sara home; hoping Spencer would forget about Ice’s wondering hands.
