“well yeah it’s total bling” he said and we laughed…everyone except Ashley’s mom, then Ashley patted her lap and I went over and sat on her lap as she wrapped her arms around my waist

“can we go talk somewhere?” Ashley whispered into my ear

“yeah sure…” I told her and we both got up as everyone else was still engaged in conversation, then Ashley and I walked towards the back of the house away from everyone “…what’s wrong?” I asked her

“I’m sorry…about my mom, and bringing up Aiden…” she said

“baby it’s fine…really, I mean I know how your mom is…” I told her

“I just…I feel bad…” she told me

“don’t ok? regardless of whether your mom is ok with us or not…we’ll still be together, she can’t change that…no matter how hard she tries…”

“you promise?” she asked me

“you’re the only girl for me Ash…and you always will be…” I told her and she smiled then I pulled her into a hug and she kissed my neck

“I am so in love with you Spencer Carlin…” she said in a softer voice then I pulled away kissing her and not wanting to pull away, then once the kiss ended she rested her forehead against mine “…every time I kiss you it’s like nothing else going on in this world matters…” she told me

“I know what you mean…” I told her smiling

“we can do this right?” she asked running her finger over my ring “you and me…” she added looking into me eyes

“yeah…we can…” I told her “you want to go back now?” I asked her

“yeah…” she said simply and I put my hand around her waist again

“there you two are…” Spencer’s dad said

“yeah sorry, we needed some air…” Spencer told him then we sat down and I put my arm around Spencer and my mom couldn’t even look at us

“so what’s the latest dish with you two?” I asked looking at my sister and Aiden

“no dish…” Kyla said

“oh please…” my mom pried in “…you two are moving in together…” my mom said

“wow…Aiden…didn’t tell me that…” I told him
