“What are you doing here Carmen?” she asked a little heated

“Well L.A. invited me too, and this is Erik, I don’t think you two actually met.
Hey Spencer” She added looking at me and Ashley a little longer

“Hi Carmen” I replied the jester

“Hi, I’m Er-“

“Ya I know who you are, the same guy who was in my bed a day a go” Now she was mad

“Listen I’m very sorry abo-“  Ashley cut him off again

“ You’re sorry, you had SEX IN MY BED, WITH MY WIFE! AND YOU’RE SORRRY” she was yelling, and just about everyone who was there heard the head lines of tomorrow’s gossip magazines.

“Ash I think we should leave” I held her hand, mostly just to drag her along my side, I don’t think Mr. Reid was too happy with the interruption.
We passed him and I apologized for the out burst, but he seemed pretty ok about it. Not even mad.

“Hey ash , you ok ?” I asked looking over to her but keeping my attention on the road

“Sorry Spence” Ashley said looking guilty

“For what ash”

“For running our night, it was supposed to be about us and Carmen and her “new” beau got in the way “

“Ash it’s totally ok don’t worry, I understand” sounding Spencer

She grabbed my hand on the console and slowly soothed my hand back and forth. I couldn’t help but feel the butterflies in my stomach flying around. Even when she’s down in the dumps, she always knows how to make me feel abousotly out of my mind. I wanna tell her I want her but it’s not soon. I can’t do that to her, she needs some time.

“Oh hey Spence that bar tender asked me out”  I hoped I didn’t look to damn jealous

”Oh really, what about the divorce?, like it just happened don’t you wan t sometime alone … or something” ‘I sound jealous, just cool down’

“Well Spencer I don’t wanna be alone for the rest of my life, and if I got a date then I guess I should go for it, she’s cute funny smart and so not boring”

Spencer didn’t say anything and Ashley was catching on but she wasn’t quite there yet.
They sat there quit the whole time, when Spencer was getting out of the car to her house and Ashley was getting into the drivers seat.

“Hey Spence are you ok?”

“Ya, why wouldn’t I?” ‘OOH I don’t know maybe cuz my best friend is going out with the one girl in the world I’m in love with and she can’t be anymore blind, to see how much I want her’

“Well if you’re sure, you know you can talk to me about anything ok” ‘damn it just say it Spencer’

“Goodnight Ashley” I said walking to my door

“Goodnight Spencer” she said running up to me and giving me a quick peck on the lips.

‘Ooh just great’

"BYE Spence"
