After Spencer's date with Kelly she comes back home to apologize to Ashley for not believing Kelly wanted to be more then friends. Once she got home Ashley was waiting up and Spencer apologizes. Ashley and Spencer embraced in a hug that was soon broken up by Paula, who brought down bedding for Ashley. The girls said goodnight to each other, Spencer went to bed up stairs and waited for her mother to go to bed. As so as Spencer heard her mothers' door close she snuck door stairs to the living room where Ashley was sleeping. Ashley didn't know that Spencer snuck down, so she was leaving a message for her dad saying that she was going to spend the night at a friend's house. Spencer walked just as Ashley hung up the phone.
"Someone is sneaky." Spencer scolded.
"Uh… Yeah." Ashley blushed. She knew that she was so busted.
Spencer and Ashley sat on the couch, silently looking at each other.
"Ash, I need to tell that when I was out with Kelly all I could think about was you." Just as Spencer was saying that Ashley grabbed her hand.
"I have felt this since the first time that I met you Spence. That is why after I yelled at you on the first day I met you in the gym to apologize."
Spencer grabbed Ashley's hand back and said "I'm glad you did." Then leaned in and lightly kissed Ashley.
Then Spencer's kiss became more passionate, she started licking the bottom of Ashley's lip begging for access. The second that Ashley felt Spencer wanting more she allowed access. There was no way that Ashley would every reject Spencer.
"Spence are you ok with this" Ashley said not wanting to break the kiss but also not wanting to ruin their friendship, just because of her stupid desires and fantasies.
"Um… yeah." Spencer said not wanting to break the kiss either.
Ashley firmly but tenderly pulled Spencer away. Spencer had a glazed look on her face.
"Why did you do that?"
"Because I don't want you to do something that you will regret in the morning. I want you to be as sure as I am about this. You need to be sure, and love the person; this shouldn't just be a one night stand sort of thing. I love you too much to do this to you, so until you are really ready we aren't going to go any further."
Spencer sat still and completely perplexed at what she just heard. Does Ash really love me more than just friendly love? How could I have completely missed that? I did feel on top of the world kissing her. Do I like her more than just a friend also?
"Ash, you're right I'm not ready for this huge of a commitment yet, but I am ready to commit to you as a girlfriend. I love you as a friend but I think I might love you more than that, so I am ready to give us a shot."
They hugged and then Ashley playfully pulled Spencer towards her a fell back onto the couch. They laid there cuddling and kissing for a while.
"Spence are you still a virgin?"
"Why?"
"Just wondering?"
"That was a really private question for just wondering."
"Okay, I was just thinking about doing a documentary on first times and then entering it into the local film festival."
"Oh, okay, well I will think about answering that question, but for now I just want to lay here with you."
Spencer knew that she couldn't fall asleep otherwise her mom would walk in on them in the morning and who knows what would happen after that. So they just laid there kissing and cuddling until Ashley fell asleep, then Spencer sneaked back upstairs and fell asleep blissfully.
