CHAPTER 1: The Morning After

Spencer woke up to Ashley's arm comfortably around her waist. Spencer didn't want to have to wake Ashley up but she needed to talk to her.
"Ash…" Spencer whispered
"mmm" replied Ashley as she slowly became aware that Spencer was the one who had woken her up.
Ashley opened her eyes to see Spencer lying next to her and couldn't help but smile. They were now facing each other and Spencer was starring into Ashley's beautiful brown eyes and couldn't help noticing a touch of sadness behind her eyes.
"What's wrong Ash?"
"Nothing," Ashley said trying to hold back the tears she felt building up inside of her.
"I can tell when your not telling me the truth," Spencer said in her I-know-you-too-well voice that partly scared Ashley to death because it made her feel vulnerable and partly made her feel extremely safe because she knew Spencer would never hurt her.
"Your just so beautiful Spencer and I love you so much…" Ashley said with tears rolling down her cheek.
"I love you too Ash" Spencer whispered.
"Please just let me finish…" Spencer nodded and Ashley continued "when I woke up I thought this was just a dream. You are too good for me Spencer, and you deserve so much better."
"Ashley…I love you and there's no place else I'd rather be than right here with you."
Ashley couldn't help but smile as she pulled Spencer in slightly closer and kissed her passionately. Spencer returned the kiss but that pulled away.
"Now it's your turn to listen," Spencer whispered.
Ashley slightly smiled as Spencer spoke "I've been thinking and I think that what we need is a vacation to get away from all of the craziness around us and concentrate on us."
A smile quickly spread across Ashley's face "Us?"
"You sound surprised?"
"Well I just didn't really know if there was an "Us," Spencer's face crinkled and Ashley quickly corrected the situation, " Don't get me wrong I'm extremely happy to hear that there is an "us", but we didn't exactly do much talking last night."
Spencer immediately blushed the way she only did with Ashley who found this unbelievably cute. Ashley leaned toward Spencer and gently kissed her on the cheek.
"So," Spencer resumed the conversation "What do you think about going on a vacation"
"It sounds like a great idea, especially because I get to spend time with you" Ashley said, "And that means more to me than anything else in the world," Ashley could barely get out the last word before she was silenced by a kiss from Spencer.
"I love you so much Ash"
"I love you too…so where were you thinking?"
"Huh?" Spencer said forgetting their entire conversation entirely from that one kiss.
"Where do you want to go on vacation?"
"Oh right, I don't know I was thinking Maine?"
"Maine?!?!" Ashley let out
"Yeah it's beautiful this time of year and…" Ashley cut her off
"And freezing cold!!!"
"Ash it won't be that cold" Spencer said smiling
"Yes it will be!"
"Ok so it will be," Spencer said with a smirk on her face, "But I'll be there to keep you warm."
"Spencer!" Ashley slightly yelled, "I think I'm a bad influence on you, mother dearest was right." Ashley said pulling Spencer down on top of her and into a very long passionate kiss.
As they pulled apart Spencer said "My mother is never right."
