Madison: Hey ladies!

Both girls turned their heads to find Madison standing in Spencer’s doorway. Her head was leaned against the frame and her body was arched in a strange position to the side.

Ashley: Striking a pose a past time of yours?

Madison took this as an invitation and entered Spencer’s room.

Madison: You are not the first person to assume I am a model.

Ashley shook her head.

Ashley: That’s not what I meant.

Madison: Oh please. Of course it was.

Ashley: Nope. It wasn’t. It was an attempt at mocking your stance.

Spencer: Can we help you with something Madison?

Madison: No. I just wanted to see what you were up to.

Madison moved closer to Ashley and threw her arm around her shoulder. Ashley stepped back as soon as she could.

Ashley: What is your deal?

Madison: Have you ever been to that bar Insomnia on the corner?

Ashley nodded cautiously.

Madison: Do you want to go with me tonight?

Ashley: I think I’ll pass.

Madison: Think of how great you would look with me on your arm.

A loud laugh from the hallway caused all three girls to look in that direction.

Glen: You sound like an idiot.

Madison placed her hands on her hips.

Madison: Beat it Glen.

Glen: I mean, seriously. Did you hear a word you just said to her?

Madison: You are going to regret this.

Glen: With moves like that I stand a better chance and that isn’t saying much.

Ashley and Spencer both laughed.

Madison’s face turned beet red as she marched toward Glen.

Madison: Do you have a death wish?

Glen: Obviously. I dated you didn’t I?

Madison pushed past Glen and ran into her room but not before getting in the last word.

Madison: Glen Harris Carlin you will regret this!

With that the door slammed forcing Glen, Spencer and Ashley to jump.

Spencer mouthed the words “thank you” to her brother.

Glen: You owe me. Big time. Huge!

Spencer: Yeah yeah yeah.

Glen: Huge. Seriously. Now I won’t get laid for a week.

Glen turned to walk away.

Spencer: What did I tell you about speaking of your sex life?!

Glen waved over his shoulder and headed to Madison’s room. Both girls could hear him knocking on her door.

Glen: Mads, I’m sorry.

No answer.

Glen: Really I am.

Still nothing.

Glen: I was just kidding…

Suddenly Madison’s door swung open and Glen dove inside. Once again the heavy wooden door slammed shut. Both girls could only make out Madison screaming.

Madison: Beso mi culo!

Glen: And what a beautiful ass it would be to kiss!

Spencer: I guess all those afternoons spent in Spanish class detention paid off for my brother.

Chelsea: Let’s go! Dinner’s ready!

Spencer smiled at Ashley.

Spencer: We’re on our way!

For a brief moment Spencer hated that they had to go downstairs and rejoin everyone else. Silently she prayed for a chance to spend more time with her neighbor.

Ashley: Are we good?

Spencer: What do you mean?

Ashley: I mean, are we ok? You aren’t freaked out by me or anything are you?

Spencer wouldn’t tell Ashley, but it was exactly the opposite.

Opening her palm, Spencer hinted for Ashley to grab her hand. She did just that and the two walked down the steps hand in hand, side by side.

TBC…
