Spencer POV

Sunlight streamed through the curtains shining right into my eyes. I buried my head in the pillow trying to escape this light torture. This was definitely one of those mornings that I did not want to get out of bed. I felt a warm arm drape over my stomach and heard soft snores. Snoring usually bugged the crap out of me but when it was Ashley I found it to be completely adorable, plus she didn't always snore, it was usually only when she was really tired. Last night must have really worn her out. After everyone finally left the party Ashley and I had our own little 'party'. What can I say? Ashley's hot when she gets all committed.

I rolled over and scooted closer to her so that our noses barely touched. Ashley stirred slightly and slowly opened her eyes

"Morning roomie" I whispered to her before giving her a soft kiss.

"mmm… I think after last night we're a little more than 'roomies'" she said with a husky morning voice.

"yeah, well I guess that's a good thing." I tucked a stray curl behind her ear before resting my hand on her jaw pulling her close. It started with a quick chaste kiss but they became longer lingering kisses, both of us just enjoying waking up together. I felt her tongue slowly trace my bottom lip seeking entrance. Things get heated quickly, her tongue dipping into my mouth, both of us eager for more contact. I was being pulled on top of her. One of her hands was in my hair the other gripping my waist. I moved down slowly kissing along her neck and jaw before returning to her irresistible lips. I could feel my stomach doing flips, although that could be because I was starving but I just couldn't stop kissing her. I really wanted to continue but the growing ache in my stomach made it impossible to focus. I reluctantly pulled away kissing her one more time, "how 'bout some breakfast?"

"Distracted much? We're busy making out and the only thing you can think about is food, really?" Ashley said mockingly offended. She pulled me back under the covers and wrapped her arms around me tightly.

"Ashhlleeey..." she was kissing down my neck and across my collar bone trying to convince me to stay, and it was working pretty well, but I resisted rolling off of her.

"I would love to stay in bed with you all day but I'm starving".

"But wouldn't you rather break in the apartment more…" she was interrupted by a loud grumble and groan from her own stomach. she looked as shocked as I did raising her eyebrows.

"Sounds like I'm not the only one who's hungry" We both giggled.

"Fine, I guess I could eat" Ashley pouted. "Plus we have to get over to your parent's house to start packing things up." I grinned being reminded again of the start of our new life together. I couldn't be happier. School was over and we had the summer to spend together and to hang out with our friends. Then I would be starting college and starting my dream of making films and Ashley would be working on her music career. It was all so exciting to start this new chapter and knowing that I would have this amazing girl right there with me made it so much better.

"What are you smiling about?" Ashley snapped me out of my thoughts.

"I'm just really happy"

Ashley rolled over on her stomach and leaned over me "me too" she kissed my lips, only once knowing she would get carried away. I got out of bed and began getting dressed so that I could start making breakfast. Ashley headed towards the bathroom to take a shower, one of the only ways she could actually wake up.

After digging in the fridge and cupboards to find what I needed, I began cooking some eggs. I heard the toast pop up and as I was buttering each piece I heard Ashley walk in. Her hair was done up in a messy bun on top of her head and she was wearing a vintage band shirt that hung off her shoulders and a pair of shorts. Even just out of the shower in simple clothing with no makeup she was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

"Better stop drooling over me or the eggs are going to turn into rubber" she quipped with a smile, "here let me do that. You. Eggs" she kissed me on the cheek and took over the buttering duty. We finished eating and I took a shower while Ashley cleaned up. We ended up telling my parents about me moving in last night, we were just too excited to keep it to ourselves. They weren't all that surprised, in fact they had been expecting it but that didn't mean that they weren't sad to be losing me.

Ashley POV

As we pulled up to the Carlin's house I couldn't be more nervous. I was just waiting for something bad to happen. This had all fallen into place too quickly and without any drama. Ever since I thought about asking Spencer to move in I've had nightmares where Paula would deny Spencer and I's relationship again or Spencer would realize what a huge mistake dating me was and go back to dating guys. I guess that was the pessimist in me.

I felt a squeeze of my hand. I looked over to see Spencer offering a comforting smile, "everything okay?"

I guess my nervousness was pretty obvious. "Yeah, just scared."

"Why? They already know we're dating, and that we're moving in together and they were fine with it. This is the easy part. We're just packing up my stuff." I nodded in reply. "Everything's going to be fine Ash, okay…I love you."

A simple statement. Those three words were all it took to calm me down. She was right, the hard part was over. Spencer loves me and that's all that mattered.

I leaned over the center console giving her a soft kiss before pulling back and looking into her eyes." I love you too." I leaned back into my seat as I took a deep breath. "Okay, let's go." Spencer let go of my hand as we got out of the car and went into the house. Glenn was the only one home, Paula was at work and Mr. C was at the store.

"What's up sis?" Glenn asked bounding down the stairs

"Nothing, Ashley and I just came to pack up my stuff."

"That's right, you two are shacking up. Have fun packing, I'm gonna go play some Xbox." Glenn said heading towards the living room.

"That's okay, we won't need your help picking up these big, heavy boxes" Spencer yelled sarcastically after him. We looked at each other sharing a knowing smile. We weren't going to be getting any help from him.

We grabbed the stack of boxes and newspaper that Mr. C had left for us at the bottom of the stairs and went up to Spencer's room to start packing.

About two hours later we had packed up all of Spencer's things. The only thing left to do was to load the boxes and furniture, which would probably take another hour or so. Both Mr. C and Paula came home. Mr. C checked in quickly to see if chili and cornbread sounded good for dinner. And Paula stopped in the doorway quickly to see if we needed anything. When I looked up to answer her she looked like she had been crying. She had been a bitch to me before I know but we had moved past that and started getting along and I didn't want to be doing anything to mess that up. Things between Spencer and I were a hell of a lot easier when we didn't have to tiptoe around her mom.

"I'm going to go get a drink, want anything?" I lied wanting to go make sure Paula was ok.

"No I'm fine thanks."

I found Paula sitting on the staircase with her head in her hands.

"Hey, are you ok?"

Paula jumped not realizing I had come up behind her. She quickly wiped away her tears. "I'm fine." She paused "… Actually I'm kind of freaking out. My youngest child is moving out of the house. To live with her girlfriend. In downtown LA.

"Which part is really freaking you out? Cause honestly I thought you were over the whole "my daughter's a lesbian thing?""

"No that's not issue. I really am over that… it's just…"

"Oh you're finally realizing how old you are!" I joked. Luckily she laughed too.

"Yeah, something like that."

I became more serious "I'm going to take care of her. You know that right?"

Paula turned to me "Ashley I know I wasn't the most supportive parent when I found out that Spencer was gay. And I certainly wasn't your biggest fan. But one day I looked at Spencer and realized, ever since she's been with you she's been the happiest I've ever seen her. You made her happy and I realized that that was all that mattered." She paused "I know you're going to take care of her".

We both looked at each other and smiled before she grabbed me and pulled me into a big hug. This was something new. I never ever thought that Paula and I would be here one day but it was nice. Bonding with a woman who once pulled a chunk of my hair out after catching her daughter and I in bed together. Like I said, this was new.

"uhh what's going on here?" We both turned to see Spencer standing a few steps above us.

"Paula here just realized she's getting old and she needed a hug." Paula jabbed me in the ribs laughing with Spencer and I. "your mom and I were just having a nice chat."

"Really?" Spencer looked at us doubtfully.

"Really" Paula replied pulling both of us into a hug before hugging just Spencer. "I love you sweetie and as much as I'm going to miss you I know you and Ashley are going to be happy together. Just promise me I'll still get to see you sometime."

"Love you too mom. And Ashley and I have already been planning with dad to come over once a month as long as he cooks us dinner."

As if on cue we heard Mr. C calling us down for dinner.

After dinner Paula and Mr. C helped Spencer and I load the boxes into the trailer. Mr. C made Glenn help load the furniture and unload it back at the loft. It was close to ten when we finally got the furniture unloaded and the Carlin's were heading home and Spencer and I were exhausted

"Let's just leave the boxes and we'll get them tomorrow." I suggested to Spencer.

"But we need to…."

"Shhh," I cut her off. "It can wait until tomorrow, we're both tired. Let's just go upstairs and watch a movie before we go to bed."

"Yeah I guess you're right, what do you wanna watch?"

"ummm how about friends with benefits?"

"sounds good. Little spoon?"

I smiled "yeah. Big spoon."

We laid on the couch with Spencer in front of me and covered ourselves up. I wrapped an arm around her waist and she scooted further into me. God I love this girl. Just lying on the couch watching a movie like an old married couple was the best thing ever. I could feel my eyelids getting heavier and heavier as my exhaustion began to take over.

I wake up and look at the clock, 1:30. The title screen was playing on a loop. Spencer must have fallen asleep too. I nudged Spencer to wake her up, she rolled over and snuggled her face under my neck. How can I possibly wake her up when she's so damn cute? I gently got up and stepped over her off the couch before scooping her up in my arms and carrying her to my, I mean our room. She barely even stirred when I put her on the bed. I went back into the living room and turned off all of the lights and the tv. As I laid down Spencer scooted closer to me. As I started to fall asleep I could only think how lucky I was that I get to fall asleep and wake up to this girl everyday.
