Ashley’s POV

I’m pooped!

Me and the kids just got home and after all of our running I’ve lost one to sleep and the other is well on her way to see the sandman.

I get my angels in their pjs and to bed with no fuss then head to my room dropping my cell, purse and keys by the nightstand on the way to my closet to change.

*You know that I could use somebody. You know that I could use somebody. Someone like you*

Today has been the longest day in the history of Ashley Davies but I hope you’ll let me skip past all the work stuff and telling you all about how I’ve progressed since moving here and how the kids love it here too and yada yada because truly the only thing that’s been on my mind is Spencer.

*You know that I could use somebody. You know that I could use somebody. Someone like you*

Crazy right?

I know

Since day one I’ve thought she was attractive and charming, even if a little awkward. She was always herself and is so full of love and life. My body felt things more than I should being friends with her whenever she was around.

Hell even when she wasn’t around my mind drifted to her in some way or another. Aiden didn’t even make me feel this way and we were "in love."

I sigh at the mention of Aiden

*You know that I could use somebody. You know that I could use somebody. Someone like you*

I still miss him sometimes.

Mostly because he was always someone I could talk to with no judgment.

Arin has a picture of her daddy that she keeps tucked under her pillow at night. It’s one of her and Aiden playing at the beach. She said she likes to see her dad smiling so that one was her favorite and I let her hold onto it.

I wipe the tears that have crept down my face silently

*You know that I could use somebody. You know that I could use somebody. Someone like you*

"Oh shit!" My phone is ringing

I run to pick it up already knowing who’s on the other end when I hear the familiar ringtone.
