Ashley and Spencer were sitting outside the Carlin residence. “You ready?” Spencer says placing a loving hand on Ashley’s arm. “oh yeah, I’m fine, Spence.” Ashley responded shaking herself out of her thoughts. “okay, let’s go. Although, I’m not happy abou-” She was interrupted by Spencer’s lips pressed on hers. “mmm” She moaned into the kiss as their tongues met. They pulled out of the kiss mutually, “lets go face the wolves, shall we?” Spencer said with a seductive smile. “the momma wolf is the one I’m worried about.” Ashley shot back, taking a deep breath. Spencer kissed her again softer this time and said “if you get through this is in one piece, I’ll make it worth your while later tonight.” Spencer teased while biting her bottom lip, seductively. Ashley’s grin grew immensely, “Gotta love that inspiration.”

               “Dad? Guys? Mom?” Spencer said loudly when she and Ashley walked into the house. “In the kitchen, Spencer.” Her dad was the only reply. Spencer walked towards the kitchen with Ashley in hand, fingers intertwined. Arthur saw their hands and smiled. Spencer noticed and quickly dropped Ashley’s hand. “Spencer, it’s okay. I think that it’s cute.” Arthur said, still with the smile on his face. “So do I,” Clay said as he bumped past the girls to get into the kitchen. “do you need any help, Dad?” he asked when he got to his father. Arthur thought for a quick moment, “Um, no, I think I have everything pretty much done. Thanks though. Oh, wait maybe you could set the table?” He questioned then looked at the girls as well. “All three of you can do that.” Spencer and Clay nodded their heads in comply. Clay picked up the basket of silverware and handed it to Spencer then picked up the plates that were sitting on the counter and carried them out of the kitchen following Spencer to the dining room table. Once there, Ashley said, “Hey, my first Carlin chore! I feel like, part of something.” She put both hands over her heart in moch-love. “Would you be quiet and put these forks at the places?” Spencer said loudly, as she playfully slapped Ash’s arm. They both looked into each other’s eyes and began to get closer to one another. “okay, I think it’s cute but that doesn’t mean I wanna see it.” Clay said putting his hands up with his palms out. “I don’t expect to see it either, Spencer.” said a voice from behind the group. It was Paula. And she was giving the two girls, mainly Ashley, the dirtiest look. “Hi, mom.” Spencer said putting her head down. She immediately took Ashley’s hand in her own. Ashley looked down at their hands and Paula followed her gaze. “Spencer, get a move on with those silverware.” Paula said, annoyed. Spencer rolled her eyes at her mother and then kept Ashley’s hand as she made her way around the table, placing silverware at the places as she went. Paula clenched her hands, as she watched what her daughter was doing. Arthur saw what was happening, “Paula, could you come in here and help me, please?” he requested, smiling at Spencer. Paula shot his a warning glance but reluctantly left the children and went into the kitchen.
