A/N-Thought i'd write another little Recess fic. Yes, Spinelli is known as "Ashley" in this...I figured she'd drop the nickname as she got older. Anyway, let me know what you think.
"Ash, wait!" He grabbed hold of her arm as she stormed out of the building, causing her to turn slightly so she half faced him.
"No way Teej. I told ya, i'm goin' home." She tried to yank herself free from his grasp, not daring to look at him, she didn't want him to see the tears in her eyes. They'd known each other since they were four and he'd not once seen her cry, she wasn't about to let that change.
"Ash, please! Just come here for a minute." He pleaded with her, he needed to tell her, to let her know that...
"Why? So we can talk about what just happened? We both know what just happened! I told you that I love you and you..." She couldn't finish the sentence, it was so painful...as though somebody had ripped out a piece of her heart. Gretchen had told her to go for it, follow her heart and tell him that she'd loved him since they were nine years old and shared that first, experimental kiss back at Thirsd street school. Now she'd gone and blown it, she should have kept her big mouth shut! She'd managed it for seven years, why had she wrecked it? He'd never look at her the same way again.
He pulled her close to him outside the movie complex, their bodies pressed together, confused, she looked up at him and he smiled deep into her eyes.
"And I feel the same way." His voice was barely a whisper and she shivered as it left a trail of goosebumps down her spine. His eyes, almost the exact shade of dark brown that hers were, were filled with emotion as he held her in the moonlight, one hand pressed on her lower back, his thumb drawing circles and the other hand stroking the raven hair from her face, revealling all of its pale delicacy.
"Y-you what?" She couldn't believe her ears, she couldn't believe that he was holding her the way he was...their physical contact usually extended only to wrestling matches and comforting hugs after something bad had happened to one of them.
"I feel the same way. I love you, Ashley Spinelli. I always have."
"Oh Teej." She couldn't believe her voice, it was so soft and girly...like in the movies. And, like in the movies, she knew what would come next.
TJ bent his head down towards her, his eyes were half closed and his pouty lips half open, Ashley mimicked him and raised herself onto her tiptoes. Their lips met in the perfect kiss, moonlit and atmospheric, cold but warm between them. It was everything their first kiss together wasn't and they smiled when it came to a natural end. Still hugging her tightly, TJ bent his head and whispered into her ear;
"Ash, will you be my girlfriend?" She simply nodded and drew his head down for another kiss.
This time, they were interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Ooohh! Spinelli and TJ sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G!"
The couple turned to see who it was.
"What are you, like Nine, Lawson?" TJ grinned at his former foe, now close pal.
"Make sure you get a cooties shot tomorrow Ash!" Giggled Lawson's girlfriend, a cute blonde formerly known as Upside down girl.
"Will do!" Ashley smiled, snuggling in to TJ's broad chest. "Although, trust me, he's well worth having cooties!"
A/N- There you go, hope you enjoyed that. Now you know what time it is...Review, Review, Review!!Yayy.
