Once in a lifetime – (Chapter: I close my eyes and I see you standing there)
“We can try again after everyone leaves, ok?” I said, shooting a sympathizing look Kyla’s way. She just rolled her eyes, double-checking the camera. “But we should make sure my dad hasn’t burnt down the kitchen yet. Ash, head downstairs and I’ll get the furniture put back up here.”
“I’ll come with you,” Aiden said, tucking in his shirt. “Glen owes me ten bucks from the Yankees game so you can hold him down while I raid his wallet.” They headed out and Kyla and I started unrolling the rug we’d stashed in the corner.
“You have the extra tape?” I said, stomping on a corner that did not want to lay flat. Kyla’s façade of anger immediately washed away, being replaced with a huge grin that could rival her sister’s. She glanced over her shoulder to make sure the attic door had closed before answering.
“Of course. It’s actually the one in the camera. I didn’t even bother hitting record since I knew these weren’t going to take anyways. I can predict Ashley’s behavior like Aiden can predict baseball games. It’s all set up for tonight. Do you need me to do anything else?” she asked, as we slid the couch back into position.
“No,” I said, drawing in a shaky breath. “Just make sure the camera is running when I ask her to marry me, ok?”
**********
Ashley and I bought the house six months ago, the day after New Year’s. The ocean blue Victorian had needed quite a bit of work, as had the three acres of land we lived on. Since Ashley was able to run her recording studio from home most days, she had taken it upon herself to do most of the remodeling. I helped her on weekends and during vacations from school. Her baby had been the attic – it was almost 1000 square feet and she had divided it into her home office and a small editing studio for Kyla, who lived on campus at UCLA but stayed with us for summer and holidays. The attic also had a drop-down projection screen, huge loveseats and recliners for viewing the crazy films Kyla sent us. The natural wood walls had been “the perfect set” for Kyla’s newest assignment – a twenty-minute suspense thriller where she had to direct people she knew.

Yes! Definitely continue! And it’s gotta be a happy ending, right? Because I think a bit of Spashley fluff is kind of needed right now. But great job on the writing. Wouldn’t it be perfect if everyone could just get along like that? Haha…I guess only in the fanfic world.
I love it! Please continue.
I need Spashley fluff like a zombie needs brains. PLEASE continue. I love the way you write.
Definately continue!!! It’s a great story and I’m excited about the engagement and that everyone seems happy. Plus, I need some spashley goodness to help distract me from the Finals crazyness!
I want to see how this ends but if it ends so that Ashley says know then I’m never going to read another one of your stories again. I swear. I can’t take it if Ashley says no in front of all those people. Please PMS (but only if Ashley says yes)
please please please please continue please
