Gwen: (interrupting) YAY! I get to meet her!!! I’m so excited she must really be special. My Ashley. My baby sister. (She hops up and down a few times, then hugs me again.)
Ashley: Chill. Please. There are people around and they are looking at you like you’re a freak.
Gwen: Wow. Ashley. I’m impressed, she must really be something.(looking at me serious) Are you going to propose???(She bursts out laughing. She continues to laugh and starts to hum.."bum bum ba daaa")
Ashley: Wow. (I stand there and watch her jolt with laughter, keeping my face still.) You are 27, you’d think that would give you cause to GROW UP.(clenching my teeth together)
Gwen: Aww Ashley, come on I was just having some fun. Don’t get upset with me...
Ashley: Whatever (rolling my eyes)
We find my car and load her bags up. We don’t talk for about 10 minutes during the car ride. Gwen finally breaks the silence.
Gwen: Ash you can’t stay mad at me. I still get to meet your girlfriend don’t I?
Ashley: No.
Gwen: Please. Ashley!
Ashley: Fine. Only cause I promised her already. (I see her smile big in the corner of my eye, I smile a little to, enough for her to see I’m over it.)
Call me paranoid but Gwen’s comments hit a nerve. Maybe I was taking this Spencer thing way to fast...I mean I just met her. I can’t deny my feelings for her, but maybe its freaking me out so much I’m having doubts...I don’t know. I haven’t had a “girlfriend” in so long, mostly because no one can deal with my mood and my issues at times. Hearing Gwen say Spencer’s my girlfriend felt nice, I guess I’m just over thinking things.
We arrive at my house, I call Spencer and tell her to be over by 5 for dinner. Pizza, my specialty. I look out the window and see Spence pull in the driveway...Hope she likes Gwen, more importantly I hope Gwen likes her. What am I saying? Of course she’ll like her, Spencer is amazing.
