I do not own South of Nowhere or any of its characters.

A/N: This is my version of the morning after. This is my first fan fic so please review and give me some pointers. Enjoy.

Spencer's POV

I woke up and there she was. Her face so relaxed but still just as beautiful as always. Her body so close to mine. Her arms rapped around me so tightly as if she would never let me go. I knew now that I loved Ashley Davies but it wasn't until the night before when she had come over to my house and explained that she "wants me but doesn't want to hurt me", that I realised that that love had been there since the first day I met her. In the school gym. How romantic.

I lay there watching her sleep. Her chest moving up and down so slowly that sometimes it looked like she wasn't breathing at all. It felt so right being so close to her now even though I knew that most of the people I know and some I don't even know are going to put me through a lot of crap just because of who I love. To be quite frank about the matter I think if any of those people ever got to know Ashley like I know her, I think they would fall for her as well. You just can't help it. It just happens.

I watched her for a few minutes longer and then I felt her stirring from her deep sleep. She opened her eyes so now I could see the beautiful brown, gorgeous eyes that were part of the reason I fell for her. She looked up at me and I moved a piece of her curly brown her behind her ear, gently brushing her cheek with my fingers on the way. We both smiled at each other. Her doing her cute little nose crinkle which I love so much.

We didn't feel the need to talk straight away, and where just happy to be close and know that the other was there.

Ashley was the first to talk "Are you ok with everything that happened last night. I mean it was pretty full on."

"I was just so glad when you came to my house yesterday and told me that you felt the same way. If that hadn't happened then I don't think I could have survived another minute. And last night well...Wow! That's all I can say"

She giggled and blushed slightly "Well now you know why I have such a reputation at school."

I smiled back at her just taking in the moment. "You know Ms Davies that if we are together then your reputation may fade away"

"O well I think I'll get over it

She lent in and kissed me delicately to begin with but as the moment went on our kiss was filled with passion and love.

From then I knew that I was hers. And she was mine. Spencer Carlin and Ashley Davies were now a couple and no homophobe in the world was ever going to change that.
