Spencer and Ashley were on the phone. “I can’t wait until this weekend for the concert,” Ashley began.

“I think you’ve been waiting for the concert longer than for me,” joked Spencer.

“No, I waited for you longer, but you were worth the wait,” Ashley responded.

Spencer heard the beep on her side of the phone. “I have another incoming call,” Spencer explained. Could you hold on?

“Sure,” stated Ashley.

A few minutes later, Spencer finished her phone call with her aunt.“No problem,” Spencer said as she hung up. She went back on the other phone line with Ashley. Ash, are you still there?

“Yeah, baby?” asked Ashley. What’s going on?

“Sorry, it was my aunt calling,” Spencer answered simply. She wants me to babysit my baby cousin Tyler so we can’t go to that concert you wanted us to go to this weekend. I know how much it meant to you so maybe you could ask Kyla to go with you so the ticket won’t go to waste. I’m sorry, but she doesn’t trust Glen with babysitting.

“No way, Kyla would just embarrass me by attempting to sing and we’d get kicked out,” responded Ashley with a chuckle. I have a better idea, babe. I’ll let Kyla embarrass the jock strap at the concert and why don’t I help you babysit?

“That’s really sweet,” Spencer commented.

“But?” asked Ashley with a sigh. There’s a but in there. I know you, Spence. What’s on your mind?

“Do you really want to watch a kid?” Spencer questioned with curiosity. You really don’t have that much experience with children. You need a lot of patience and understanding.

“Yes, I do,” responded Ashley. There’s no time like the present to get experience with a child. It’ll only be practice for our future together. I also get to see my beautiful girlfriend, which is a plus. How old is the kid anyway? Twelve? Thirteen?

“Six,” Spencer corrected. He’s in the videogame phase. I never understood that phase since as you recall I would play with my dolls.

“Coolness, I never got out of the phase,” pointed out Ashley. Spencer chuckled. You won’t be disappointed in me, I promise.

“You could never disappoint me,” Spencer stated.

“Thanks,” responded Ashley with a smile. I’ll talk to you later or IM you. I’m going to tell Kyla about her getting the concert tickets.
