The rays from the sun peeked through a small opening in the dark curtains draped over Ashley's windows. It was small but seemed to be aimed perfectly at Ashley's face.
"UGH, What's the point of dark curtains if the sun can still slither its way in!?"
"Well, good morning to you too sunshine!" The sarcastic voice from the other side of Ashley's bed was of a young blonde. "You know this whole, vampire cave theme you got going on is kind of creepy!" The girl giggled but was quickly quieted as Ashley latched herself to the girl's neck sucking and kissing her way up to her ear.
"I vant to suck yer blood." She whispered.
"Yep, still creepy, and now a little weird." The girl lay there watching Ashley move back to the other side of the bed and throw the covers over her face. "Um NO, I am NOT sleeping the day away again, this is SO not fair! You promised we could go shopping for clothes, I need to revamp my wardrobe!" Ashley groaned, looked at the clock and rolled over to face the girl.
"Seriously, its only 10 AM, the clothes will still be there in an hour, so let me go back to sleep and then we can go once I get some more of my beloved beauty sleep."
"Well if that is what you are trying to accomplish? I'll see you next week!" The next thing she knew she had been knocked over by two pillows, one to her face and one to her stomach. Grabbing the assailant's arms, she pulled her down and then flipped her so Ashley was on the bottom and she was straddling her.
"You really think I need that much beauty sleep?" Ashley asked, faking sadness. The girl knew she was faking, and though she wanted to play along to see how far she could take it, something about the way Ashley looked with that ray of light shining on her face made her think otherwise.
"Honestly, I think you've had too much beauty sleep. I never thought it was possible for someone to be as beautiful as you." The girls smiled, and leaned in for a quick kiss, then continued, "so, because you are already impossibly gorgeous you should get up and we should go shopping." Ashley whined and asked why. "Haven't you heard that too much of a good thing is bad for you. I fear that too much of your apparent beauty sleep will make you ugly and I don't think I can be with you if you suddenly become ugly!"
"Ah, so you're with me because of my good looks huh? Well, at least I know who the shallow one is in this relationship. Cuz I'm certainly not after you for your looks, I mean, I'm sorry babe but you could definitely benefit from some beauty sleep... WOO!" Just as they were beginning to greet the day the blonde's cell phone rang, she looked at the I.D. to see HOME flashing across it. With a heavy sigh and an apologetic look to Ashley, she answered.
"Hi mom."
"SPENCER CARLIN, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? NO YOU KNOW WHAT, DON'T ANSWER THAT I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE!!! YOU NEED TO GET HOME RIGHT NOW!" Spencer held the phone away from her ear enough that even Ashley could hear what was going on. Spencer took a deep breath, crawled over to where Ashley was to sit between her legs and prepared to speak.
"No. I refuse to come home if all I am going to do is get yelled at for spending the night at a friend's house. You are beyond ridiculous." Ashley looked at Spencer in shock, she knew Spencer was at the end of her rope with her mother, but she never thought she'd speak like that to her.
"Excuse me young lady, you do NOT talk to me like that. I am your mother, you should talk to me with some respect!"
"I will talk to you however I want, and don't give me all that junk about respect, you lost my respect the moment you trashed Ashley and even more when I found out about Ben. You have no respect for our family, therefore I don't have any respect for you." Spencer closed her phone and sat looking at the screen, not sure what was going to happen next, but sure that it wasn't going to be good.
