Eat! I didn’t order all of this to go to waste. (Just then, Glen sits down and immediately grabs the taco off my plate and shoves it in his mouth.)
Spencer: Wow. Todo (Looking at Glen) We aren’t in Kansas anymore...
Ashley: Hahahahaha.
(She laughs so hard, I thought she was gunna choke. While Glen looked offended to be compared to a dog. Ash laughed even harder at his expression.)
Ashley’s POV:
After lunch we all resumed our class schedules. It was after the last class, I gave Spence I quick ride home before my shopping trip with Gwen.
Spencer: Thanks for the ride, I could have just waited for Glen?
Ashley: Is it a crime to give your girlfrie...(I stumble through the word) a ride home?
Spencer: (looks at me, I could tell something bothered her.) Um, Ash.
Ashley: So..not to interrupt I just wanted to tell you that you’re great and I think maybe we should go slow with this. I guess what I’m tryin to say is I consider you close to a girlfriend relationship...
(I could tell I might have said something wrong...she pressed her brow down toward her eyes and looked like she was confused.)
Spencer: Ok. So you wouldn’t call me your girlfriend even though we kissed and I met your sister? Just ....”Close”
(Oh no...)
Ashley: Ok ok. That sounded kinda bad. I just don’t want us to rush into anything. I feel alot for you Spence. More than I have in along time. You just don’t understand the stuff you have to go through before we can be in a open relationship.
Spencer: Ok. So I don’t understand now? I’m trying. I know I’m not out or anything. I haven’t yet proclaimed to the world that I like girls and I don’t care, but don’t tell me I don’t understand. I’ve thought about it since I first thought I liked you. My Mom would go nuts if she knew, you don’t think I have thought that through?
(oh boy. She’s definitely mad.)
Ashley: Spence. I’m sorry. I didn’t know your Mom would be that crazy if she knew.
