Madison made a funny squeeking sound.

“Ooh, finally someone that wants a decent party. God knows I love Spencer, but I’d much rather have you help me with the party. An old drunk like you probably has all the party tricks down.”

Ashley rolled her eyes this time.

“Hey, you’re helping me with the party. And I’m so not a drunk anymore, did you miss the memo or something, I’m all about the sober now.”

Ashley wanted to make that clear, sure she still enjoyed a good party, but she was done with party perks.

“Fine, whatever, so how many do we need and where should we have it?”

It was a good twenty minutes later that they got of the phone, planning on just meeting with Madison’s cousin Soulful Steve, obviously his stripper name, to finalize everything.

Spencer meanwhile was going slowly insane. Ashley had called her the previous night as promised, but had been maddeningly silent the whole morning. To top it off, when Spencer tried to phone her, it was on voice mail. All kinds of thoughts were running through her head, mostly bad.

“Do you think she just woke up this morning and realized I wasn’t worth it? Maybe my Mom catching us making out in public freaked her out or something. Maybe…I don’t know…why isn’t she calling me, damn it?!”

Kyla smiled as she watched Spencer where she lay sprawled on the couch staring at her phone like it had personally insulted her character or something.

“God, Spencer, when did you turn into Little Miss Insecure? She told me she had stuff to do this morning, she’s probably just busy. I’m sure she’ll call soon.”

Spencer bit her bottom lip, she knew she was being an idiot, but she just wanted to see her again. Like, right now.

“Oh, God. Your sisters turned me into a ball of clingy mush. I mean I’m lying on my couch crying like a baby ‘cos she hasn’t phoned me yet. When did I regress into a moody, moon eyed teenager again. This sucks!”

Kyla laughed at the pained look on Spencer’s face. The young woman was so enamored with her sister it was sad. She was really acting like a nervous teenager waiting for her date to call her the next day.

“If it helps, she was bursting out of her skin last night when she got home. She literally could not stay still, she was bouncing around like a kid with ADD in the kitchen. God, it was Spencer this and Spencer that and evil Paula and something about wanting to kiss you till she passes out. Really, you too make me sick, you’re so into each other. Couldn’t even last a full week before trying to jump one another, Madison filled me in on your little afternoon nap by the way. I’m still in therapy over that very same thing, no one should have the image of her sister doing that with anyone.”

It was true, she so had not needed to catch her sister in the throws of passion. She burst out laughing when she realized she had just used the phrase throws of passion in her head. She really had to lay of the steamy romance novels.

“What’s so funny, it’s a natural, normal act between people who love each other, okay? So we were barely conscious, but that’s so not the point and I’ve said I was sorry. Besides, you think I don’t know what you and Glen did in the back of my car? I think we’re pretty much even.”

Kyla completely ignored the nervous babble coming from Spencer. She was too busy reading a text message from no one other than Ashley herself.

“Hmm, Ashley just sent me a message.”

Spencer practically jumped of the couch.

“Really? What did she say, where is she, is she coming over?”

Kyla gave Spencer a look telling her exactly how pathetic she was being. Spencer just ignored it.

“Come on, what did she say?”

Kyla just shook her head.

“She says we have to go out and buy something sexy and be ready to be picked up by eight. That’s all.”

Spencer visibly deflated.

“Oh.”

Her face lit up though when her phone started to ring and Ashley’s name flicked across the screen. Kyla just smiled and wondered how they had managed to survive seven years without each other. They clearly could not last more than a few hours without one of them going completely insane!
