“Besides, I like how Ash is right now. I mean, we even have the same tastes in women.” He says smugly.

“Oh really, and what would that be?” I cock an eyebrow.

“Basic necessity is that they’re hot.”

‘Of course’

“We also both prefer blonds-“

“Oh really.” I reply jokingly.

“Yeah, but sorry I don’t think Ash would go out with you.”

I’m sure he sees the offended look on my face because he quickly adds a defense.

“Not that you’re not hot or anything, cause you are. But Ashley always had this thing.”

“Thing?” I’m really curious now.

“Yeah, for some reason she won’t date anyone who doesn’t have blue eyes. I realized it one day and decided to ask her about it but she kept dodging my questions, saying it was something I could never understand. I mean, I’ve seen her turn down girls so hot they make Ms America look bad, just cause their eyes aren’t blue. So trust me when I say that it’s not you, it’s her.” He jokingly scoffs in disbelief.

“Really?” Is all I can get out.

‘Why would she…’

“Yeah, weird isn’t she? But I don’t care she’s my best friend.” He says proudly and genuinely and I’m starting to see him in a new light.

“Well, enough about Ashley. Let’s talk about us.” His smug grin firmly planted on his face.

I take back what I just said.

We continue to talk for a bit until Aiden excuses himself and our conversation ends. I look around the room and see Ashley’s figure talking to Stan and a few crewmen laughing.

‘She doesn’t remember’ I just quietly keep my eyes on her and think about how she’ll never know. She’ll never see, see that it’s me. I contemplate on the thought and I feel strange feelings overtake me. I don’t like them so I try my best to ignore it.

Too bad it doesn’t work. All of a sudden, cranky, moody, botchy, and avoidance Spencer is back. ‘Why? I don’t know, don’t ask me.’ I pretty much yelled at all the crewmen for talking and not doing anything knowing it was their break. I spazzed out at Stan for talking too much and pretty much vented on anyone that was within a two meter distance from me. ‘Nice way to treat everyone on the last day on the job, I know.’
