The friend from Uni.

Howdy neighbour

(Ash p.o.v)

"What do you want for dinner?"
"Italian?" Spencer suggested while we book my books in my new big bookshelf.
"Definitely. Creamy pasta."
"Don't call Marcus or Denis to tell them we are flying to Italy. If we get called to a case while we are eating, how can we explain why we are suddenly in Italy?"
"I can have it delivered here Spencey."
"You've got rich people problems." He told making me fake hurt as I put a hand over my chest.
"You wound me Spencer."
"Rub some dirt into it." He joked making us laugh.
While we were half way through organising my books, there was a knock at my door. I turned the music down slightly as I went to it and answered it.
"Ello?" I asked making them look up and I let out a sigh. "Fuck."
"Your my new neighbour." Penelope told making me turn back to Spencer.
"Ayo, Baby face. Pack it all up, I'm moving again." I told letting her in.
"Why?"
"The bubbly girl is why." I told making him look before he began to laugh.
"Hey Spencer."
"Hey Penelope."
"Oh my gosh. We could car pool."
"I drive my motorbike most days. But if we got you the right protective gear then I will gladly take you for a ride."
"Not sure how I would go with that."
"She's gonna wake you up more, you know that right?"
"I'll shoot you."
"Noted."
"You got plans tonight?" I asked making her shake her head.
"Not yet."
"Now you do. Italian?"
"What's going on?" She asked looking towards Spencer.
"She's asking if you are ok with Italian for dinner since that's what we agreed on. She's dragged you into having dinner with us."
"You ok with horror movies? It's horror movie night tonight."
"Uh yeah. I am ok with that."
"Cool."
"Don't do what we discussed."
"But it's good!"
"It would probably be cold by the time it reached us."
"Fine." I told as I got my phone to order our food.

"So, you guys do this a lot?" Penelope asked as we all took up the couch.
"Yeah pretty much. We are like one another's second home."
"This place is better looking then your other one."
"Yeah and the price was great cause someone fucken died in here."
"Your living in a place someone died?" Penelope asked.
"Honey, people die everywhere. You probably live where someone died."
"It's so difficult being your friend sometimes." She told.
"Yeah. But I'm loyal and will defend you till the ends of the earth."
"Your actually really good as a friend." Spencer added making us share a smile.
"Wait.... You didn't deny us being friends."
"Why would I?"
"Because you don't exactly come off clear to everyone what you are thinking."
"Oh. Well yeah I consider you and the others my friends. I mean, I make friends easy when we get past the whole social awkwardness. I'm probably closer to you then the others minus Spencer."
"I wanna hug you but I know you don't feel comfortable with them." She told making me put our food on the coffee table before taking her hand and pushing our finger tips together.
"A few people do this with me. Kinda like a build up to a hug." I explained.
"I'll remember that..... Ash?"
"Ashley."
"Ok still not up to that." She told making us laugh.
"It was a good try though."
'Maybe her being my neighbour won't be so bad.'
