“So… what do you think, Dad?”
“Well, I’d like to think it over a bit more,” he said.
“Okay.” I guess it was understandable; it was a pretty big deal and I didn’t expect him to be able to come to a resolution at the drop of a hat.
“I don’t hate the idea though, girls,” he reassured us. “I don’t want you to think that.” Spencer and I grinned simultaneously. Good news at last.
The rest of the meal went on without any major incidents, besides when Mr. Carlin tried to pay the tab; I refused to allow it, though, and he ultimately gave in. When I stood up to go, I noticed that my neck felt kind of stiff. I rubbed it a little, not really thinking anything of it. By the time we got back to the house, though, I really wasn’t feeling well at all. My head was killing me and I had the chills. I figured I must be getting sick. I told Spencer, who promptly went downstairs and returned with a glass of water and some aspirin.
“Lie down, Ash.” I did as such and she tucked me in, kissing my forehead gently before she went to change into pajamas.
“So do you think your dad’s going to give in?” I asked.
“Yeah, I think. He doesn’t ‘hate’ the idea, remember?” she joked. I nodded and smiled weakly. “But I’m gonna go downstairs to talk to him, try to sweeten him up a little.”
“Good idea.”
“Do you need anything?” she asked.
“Nope. But can you turn the light off when you leave?” I requested, noticing how bright the room seemed.
“Yup. Just yell if you need anything. Feel better,” she said as she gave me another quick kiss.
“Thanks.” I internally rejoiced as the light was shut off. I hadn’t realized how exhausted I was. Sleep came easily that night.
——————————————————-
After taking care of Ashley, I went downstairs, where my dad was watching t.v.
“Hi Spence,” he greeted me once he noticed I was there.
“Hey Dad, what are you watching?”
“Oh, just the baseball game. The Reds are looking pretty awful this year, though.”
“That stinks,” I remarked, not really caring at all.
“You get used to it,” he joked. “Where’s Ashley?”
“She’s not feeling well,” I explained.
“What’s the matter?”
“She has a headache and the chills; probably just a cold coming on.”
“Tell her I hope she feels better then.”
“I will,” I replied. “So… have you given any more thought to what we talked about at dinner?”
“A bit.” So much for sweetening him up. “Honey, I just want you to be sure that you’re ready for this. This isn’t like going on vacation, or going with Ashley on her tours. This is sharing a life with another person. It’s a very big step.”
“I understand that, Dad, but I really love her.”
“I know you do,” he said. “And I know she loves you, too. Which is why I don’t want to see you rush into something that could harm your relationship.”
“It won’t though. We’ve been together for a year and a half,” I insisted. “But we spend so much time together as it is… like, on weekends, I practically live at her house already… and still, I don’t think I could ever, you know, get sick of being with her. She makes me feel… like… whole. I don’t know. I can’t even describe it.” He grinned and turned his attention back to the game.
“Why do I get the feeling that no matter what I say, you’re going to end up moving in with her?” he said, half-joking, as I laughed.
“Well, that’s not entirely true. I want your approval.”
“Let me think it over a bit more," he said.
“Yup,” I replied, leaning my head on his shoulder. I sat there with him for an hour or so before the game became too painfully boring to continue watching. I filled up another glass of ice water for Ashley and headed upstairs. She was sleeping soundly when I walked in, so I placed it on the adjacent nightstand and climbed into bed next to her. I kissed her lightly, so I wouldn’t wake her up, and soon fell asleep.

I AM GLAD THAT I WILL BE GETTING BROWNINS AND A MILKSHAKE, LOL!!!!! Anyways, the update was great. I loved the way that Mr. C is worried about Spencer moving in with Ashley because it probably means to him, that his little girl is like getting married and is not going to be around alot, anymore. I just hope that Mr. C will be okay with it and that Ashley and Spencer will be fine too. GREAT CHAPTER AND PMS PLEASE!!!!!

Memo to the employees of all A&W restaurants: Please note that from this moment on I no longer have to tolerate your horrendous interpretation of “customer service” when I order a root beer float. All root beer floats will be provided by Kozmic from this moment on. Carry on, people! Here’s the thing Kozmic, while I should be doing actual work tomorrow I’m pretty sure that I’ll be wracking my brain on this chapter. Much like Michael Jackson, something’s not right (any chance that some table clearing sex will make Ashley feel better? Just a thought!). I can’t wait to see what you have in store for these ladies. Hopefully it’s all good…who am I kidding, I do enjoy drama in the world of fanfic. In real life, “I Can’t Go For That” like Hall & Oates. Wow, I embarrass myself more and more with each of my comments…what 26 year old would admit to liking Hall & Oates? Here’s the deal Kozmic, I’ll be leaving for a one week business trip as of Saturday so if I don’t comment between the 14th and 21st, please don’t think that I’ve abandoned ship. I’ll actually be curled up in a corner going through withdrawals from this story. Please hook us up with another chapter soon!
