Ashley's POV

It was early Tuesday morning, I hate weekday mornings. Why you ask, because Spence has class on weekday mornings…early. The alarm went off; it's 6:30 which means I have fifteen minutes to snuggle with Spencer. That was her idea, to set the alarm early so we had time to just take each other in every morning, some mornings we take each other in more than others.

"Speeennnnceeeee" I draw out.

"Ash, no I'm not skipping. You ask that everyday and the answer is always no".

I smiled into the back of her neck, "Except for that one time".

"Well that one time was a big exception, one of the best exceptions, as I recall". Spencer shot back and turn to face towards me with her early morning smile.

"It could be like that every morning". I knew by now that, that one morning just happened to be our anniversary, but it never hurt to try and persuade her every morning. Who knows, maybe today she'll say yes.

"Good try Ash, maybe tomorrow", she said as she leaned in and placed a chaste kiss on my lips, then turned around and started to get out of bed.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going", I yelled as I grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down. "I still have 8 minutes left".

"Yeah, but I thought you might want to use those 8 minutes in the shower this morning".

"Why Spencer Carlin, if Paula only knew about this side of you" I counter with a mocking tone.

"I pretty sure my mom knows about our sexual escapades by now" Spence retorted as she gave me that oh so special Carlin stare.

"Ok…I thought we were going to all just forget about that and move on". I can remember it like it happened yesterday.

Spencer had been living with me for almost a month and she wanted to start a tradition where we alternated having dinner with her parents every week. This week they were coming over to our place. Kyla and Aiden had volunteered to run to the store to get some last minute items. The roast was in the oven and we were just sitting on the couch, lounging around waiting for everyone to arrive. I looked over at Spencer and she was reading one of her books that her professor put on her pre-requisite list. Let me tell you, studious Spencer is very sexy. After about three minutes of me staring at her she finally turned and looked at me, "What Ash, why are you staring"?

"Spence you are so hot right now, I think maybe if you could just wear some black rimmed reading glasses I would be in heaven".

She just looked at me as if I were crazy. "Is sex all you think about, Ash"?

"Spence, I'm offended" I quip, "I think about other things besides sex"!

"Like what, Ash"?

I lean into her and whisper in her ear,"I think about holding your hand whenever I can. I think about how I love waking up next to you every morning, I think about how I can never get you off my mind and how I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I think about…"

Before I can finish my lisy her lips are on mine. I immediately take advantage of this because Spence is right, I'm usually thinking about sex, but not just any sex…sex with Spencer. I grab her book and chuck it to the side. I position myself on top of her and we lay back on the couch. The kiss gets pretty heated pretty fast. Her hands are all over me and my hands are up her shirt and around her back. Her hands eventually work there way to my hair. I have her, whenever her hands stop roaming and go to my hair I know I have her. "Bedroom" she manages to grunt out.

I take action and start to get up. You can tell we've done this before; we have it down to science. Pretty soon her legs are around my waist and she's kissing my neck while removing my shirt. Which is very impressing seeing how I'm holding her, kissing her, and walking…well attempting to walk. My shirt is on the floor and now she's moved on to my belt. She had just successfully removed my belt and unbuckled my jeans when we heard that sound, that sound that will never ever be forgotten no matter how much we want to, someone clearing their throat.

We freeze, both not knowing what to do. Spencer is still in my arms, legs strongly around my waist and I'm wearing no shirt and am about to lose my pants. We both slowly turn are heads towards the noise to be met with not one, but four sets of eyes. Kyla and Aiden are trying not to laugh because the look on Paula Carlin's face was priceless. It looked as if she had just seen….well her daughter getting it on. Mr. Carlin had a slight yet shocked smirk on his face. But what followed was perfect.

"Mom, Dad…Ash and I were just...getting ready to….."

She looked at me with the look of "you better save our asses here".

So like normal I put my foot in my mouth and said the only thing that came to mind "have a quickie before you got here".

Not what she was looking for, I knew I would pay for that later. You could say that dinner was awkward that night. Spence obviously still hadn't let it go.

"You're lucky my mom still likes you after that, it could have gone horribly wrong"

"I think she appreciated my honesty" I say as she's leading me towards the shower.

____________________________________________________________________

After the shower, we both got dressed and I went and fixed Spencer a bagel for the ride to class. We headed down to car and made the trip to school. That's right, I take her to school everyday. It gives me and extra 30 minutes to hold her hand.

We get to the building and she leans over to kiss me "So I'll see ya tonight?" she asked after she plants one on me. "Yeah, I'll be a bit later tonight. I have a few things I have to wrap up at the studio and someone from the label is coming in for a meeting." I hate when work keeps me away from her. "Aiden's picking you up on his way home tonight, right?" Aiden, always the gentlemen often brought Spencer home from school.

"Yup, all taken care of. You want me to make dinner when I get home"?

"No, lets go out tonight or order in, I know it's your long day at school".

"Aw, Ash. When did you turn into such a softy?" she knew her powers over me and she took advantage of them. "I'm gonna be late. I love you".

"I love you too". I lean into her for one last kiss. She hops out and shuts the door and I just watch her walk into the building. I sit there for a minute and just smile. I'm pretty sure I'm the happiest person on earth right now; I don't think my life could get any better.

Man, I love that girl.
