Once again, I don't own South of Nowhere…it'd still be on air ;)
Anyway, thanks for the reviews all, much love and I hope this keeps up with your expectations. Let me know what you think, let me know what I can change, what I can keep, or if I should just stop now.
Chapter 2 – "Just to Hold You"
Ashley's POV
I kept my head turned toward the road but watched the beautiful blonde beside me from the corner of my eye. She knew I was watching, she continued to pout. I knew she was curious and I almost gave in and told her…but I really worked too hard on this to ruin the surprise. Originally I wanted to have our special night at my house; I wanted to smell her on my sheets long after the night ended. Then I remembered all the interruptions: Kyla, her stupid dog, people at the door, people calling on the phone, Aiden dropping in unannounced. I scowled just thinking of it all and Spencer raised an eyebrow at me. I just turned and smiled at her and tried to keep my facial expressions to myself, tonight was all about her and nothing was going to spoil it.
We finally pulled up to the beach house that had been hastily cleaned and prepared after I made the phone call. I owed our beach house's caretaker sooooo big for the last minute rush but seeing Spencer's beautiful blue eyes light up made it all worth it. I smiled and grabbed her hand to help her out of the car. "Ashley it's beautiful," she said, the surprise in her voice keeping it low and musical. I smiled even wider and started leading her up the walk. "I only want the best for us Spence; I want everything to be perfect." "I'm not even going to ask how you pulled this off, I'm just going to say thank you baby," she put her hand to my cheek and stroked it softly as she pulled me in for a kiss. I felt my head start to spin and my heart flutter as I take the kiss deeper, wrapping my arms around her waist. She sighs against my lips and tangles her fingers in my hair, pulling my head closer to hers. My heart started beating so fast I was afraid it was going to come out of my chest but as I heard her moan against my lips I thought, "what a way to go." She slowly pulled back and with a smirk said "so Davies, our special night is supposed to happen on the porch of your parent's house?" I looked at her in shock as she started to giggle. Shaking my head, I turned to unlock the door and felt her start to run her hands down my back. I shivered and almost fell through the door as I opened it. I heard her snort and flashed her a glare before I pulled her hand and led her inside. "Wow, its beautiful Ash," she said, looking around the huge living room. One wall was nothing but glass that looked out over the ocean and the glow of the moon was reflected off the water. "It sure is," I murmured, watching her hips move as she turned her back to me to see the view. She must have heard the huskiness of my voice because she turned back to me with her eyebrow raised in the typical Spencer way that I found so appealing. When those impossibly blue eyes met mine she smiled softly. I walked to her and wrapped my arms around her back as we stared at the view together. "I'm so happy I'm sharing this with you Ash," she murmured softly. I gently kissed her neck and whispered in her ear, "I've never been happier sweetheart," I felt her shiver beneath me and couldn't help but smile again.
Spencer's POV
I finally turned away from the enchanting to view to stare at the deep brown eyes in front of me. I felt a fire burning deep in my body as I captured her lips with mine. Just as I tried to deepen the kiss, she stepped away with a small smile, "patience Carlin, there's one more thing," she said, "I'll be right back…" "Ash, where….?" "Shh, wait here" she said. I sat down on the couch to slip off my sandals and pulled my hair loose while I was at it. I felt Ashley watching me from the doorway and smiled to myself. I slowly ran my hands down the front of my body, tracing the low cut neckline of my dress and groaning softly to myself. I heard her sputter and held back a laugh as I ran a hand through my hair and exposed my neck to her. "Spencer Carlin you are the devil," she growled next to my ear. I shuddered at feeling her hot breath against my neck and pulled her closer. "Where did you go baby?" I asked softly, she came around and sat in my lap, wrapping her arms around me and looking at my lips. "I went to get you something," she said softly, her gaze never leaving my lips as I ran my tongue across them slowly. "What was it?" I murmur next to her ear, planting soft kisses around her neck. She shivers in my arms and draws closer to me, burying her face into my neck. "ugh Spencer, we really have to stop for a second so I can give you this," she says in a voice so husky I can barely hear it. I nibble on the spot where her neck meets her shoulder, "so stop," I whisper, moving up her neck with my tongue and teeth. Her breath groans out as she pulls slowly away. I pout up at her as she stands. "Baby," she started but the huskiness is so thick on her voice that she has to stop and clear her throat. I hide my smile as she glares for a second before composing herself. Finally she sat in front of me on the coffee table and held out a long jewelry box. I gave her a small confused smile and she looked deeply into my eyes, "Baby, I wanted you to have something really special to remember this night by because I'll never forget it. You are the most beautiful person I've ever met and I can't thank you enough for sharing this experience with me. "I blushed and she looked down and said softly, "I don't know what I did to deserve you Spencer but I hope you know that you are the greatest thing to ever happen to me." Then even softer, still not meeting my gaze, "I love you." My heart melted as I leaned over to kiss her deeply. "Ash, I love you too, I wouldn't be able to share this with anyone but you. You have my heart baby." She smiled up at me, that crooked, mischievous smile that I have fallen in love with. "Open it!" she said, excitedly. I giggled and kissed her again quickly before I opened the box and gasped at what I saw. "Oh Ashley!" I breathed, pulling out the necklace with diamond heart. On the back of the heart was a simple inscription, "A.D. n S.C. Always" She took it from me and put it around my neck, kissing the skin as she attached it. "Always Spence," she murmured in my ear. I stood up and took her hand to pull her into me, we kissed softly and I slowly away from her lips to kiss her ear. "Take me to bed my love," I whispered. She shivered and then practically pulled me up the stairs.
Third Person POV
The room was glowing from the light of dozens of candles, already lit in the cozy room. There were dozens of sweet smelling roses in vases on every surface, and a c.d. of Ashley playing the guitar softly playing as the two girls danced slowly in each others arms. They refused to rush, they simply enjoyed the atmosphere that Ashley had been able to create in so short of a time. Excruciatingly slowly, they undressed one another as they continued to dance. Fingers traced paths on skin, lips started small fires on exposed flesh, and promises were whispered into sensitive ears. Eventually they did make it to the bed, moans then screams drowned the music. The scent of sweat and desire drowned out the roses. Brilliant and blinding light drowned out the candles.
The only reason the two girls stopped touching each other was simple exhaustion, they closed their eyes, wrapped in each other's arms with smiles on their lips, just as the sun started to reflect off the surf.
