"Come on get up!" a female voice screeched, reverberating off of the walls and into Ashley's ears, music blared right after. Groaning Ashley shot up into a sitting position to see her room mate dancing around, already dressed and ready to begin her day. The girl was dressed in the usual ware for a boarding school, knee high socks, plaid skirt and a white blouse.

"Shut that off!" Ashley screamed diving back on her bed throwing a pillow over her head to block out the sound.

"Some ones not a morning person," Mary giggled sitting on Ashley's bed grabbing the pillow.

"I'm not so bugger off," Ashley growled trying to get the pillow back.

"Nope, sorry roomy but school starts soon and you need to get ready," the brunette looked away from her red haired annoyance to the clock.

"It's five thirty..."

"Yep and school starts at seven so up up up," Mary yanked the covers off her revealing Ashley in only underwear and a tank, "Cute!" Mary winked before walking away.

Did she just check me out...still got it, Ashley smirked as she sat up wiping the sleep from her eyes. Muscles clenching and releasing as she reached over head, popping her back she stood up and padded toward the bathroom to take a soothing shower. Quickly dressing in the standard uniform she headed off to her first class.

The hallways were busy but nothing compared to public school hallways, Ashley easily wound her way thru the kids.

"Hey Spencer," that name stopped her in her tracks...Ashley didn't like the way his voice dripped with venom and ecstasy. She turned around; eyes searching till she found them, RJ had his arm right next to her head which was low, not making eye contact with the boy. She fidgeted back and forth, moving her books from side to side but making sure to keep her body facing away from him, trying to tell him she wasn't interested.

"RJ," she whispered.

"So homecoming is next week," he smiled, "I was thinking...do you want to go?"

"I,"

"Don't even," he snapped. Probably heard all her excuses, "You can not keep turning me down, one day you will go out with me." His hand slapped the wall next to her ear making her jump back, books falling to the ground, "That's right dyke pick'em up."

This causes every student in the hallway to laugh as she bent down to retrieve her fallen books. Anger surged thru Ashley, her first instinct was to run over and pummel the guy, who cares if he is her step brother the guy is a jerk, and Ashley with many days at the gym for just the occasion of sticking up for her baby would gladly beat the guy back into submission.

Swallowing her protecting side she watched as RJ retreated toward his class along with all the other kids, Ashley shook her nerves, so close to Spencer yet she still felt miles away. All Ashley wanted was to scoop her up into a hug, squeeze the life out of her, well not that far but she needs to grab a hold and never let go.

So after taking several deep cleansing breaths she made her way toward Spencer, "Need help baby blue eyes?" she asked seductively, not really trying to make it sound that way but being around the girl always made Ashley's libido turn into that of two sixteen year old boys.

Spencer's head shot up because only one person ever called her that, the books in her hands tumbled to the floor leaving her shaking hands empty. Weak legs raised so now the two girls stood face to face, eye to eye, toe to toe, and heart to heart. Ashley noticed that Spencer had truly grown while they were apart; the blonde was now taller than the brunette by at least two or three inches. Curves shaping her whole body like Ashley had never seen and she has seen some hot women in her time as a player but nothing compared to the beauty radiating off of the younger girl. But the one thing that didn't change, that after all these years stayed the same was the innocence the girl produced as well as blue eyes, so shiny and alive, Ashley felt like she did the first time she saw those eyes.

Brown and blue mixed in an intense stare, neither breaking it, both trying to read the other, to see if what they had back then, the immediate connection of two little kids still resided deep in their souls. Ashley felt more right then than in the three years she was alone without Spencer, every one thought it was the brunette who protected and saved the younger girl but that was the farthest thing from the truth, Spencer saved Ashley...from a life of pain and anger and loneliness her mother would try and force on her and succeeded in doing so once the blonde had left.

The bell rang breaking their staring contest, Spencer realizing she needed to be in class and standing in the hall way wasn't a great thing as she was already on academic probation so she leaned down quickly with out saying a word and scooped her books up. Sighing she tilted her head and gave Ashley a shy smile before tucking blonde hair behind her ear and walking off.

Damn it Davies do not let her walk away, she told her self while staring at the girl's ass as it swung side to side, stop checking her out when is the next time you two will be near each other again, the next time you can smell her...oh god she still smells the same a mix of vanilla and strawberry...Ashley's mind swept thru memory lane of all times they laid together and that aroma engulfed her entire being, Move it Davies or you'll lose her!

Her mind screamed and that's all it took, the small promise to her self that if Spencer got out of view they'd never be together, Ashley will have truly lost the best thing in her life. Feet moving quickly, heart pounding in her chest she gained on the blonde, rushing to get to her before the girl rounded the corner. Hand shot forward gripping the girl's wrist, still tiny and perfectly fit in Ashley's hand, the shocked blonde whirled around in fright as if someone might hit her, no one better have touched her, Ashley thought bringing her free hand up to show she meant no harm.

A sly smile dipped across the older teens face as she yanked Spencer away from class, away from the school and toward the forest and some time between the hall way and the forest Ashley had become the follower, she stepped beside Spencer but letting the blonde lead to where ever. Still not a word was spoken between them besides Ashley's earlier sexual comment.

The forest grew thicker until they ran into a wall of vines and bushes that went at least nine feet above them, Ashley cocked an eye brow silently asking 'what now?' only to be met with a wink. Spencer leaned forward pulling aside some vines to reveal a door hidden in the depths of the brush; she reached into her pocket to produce a key and unlocked the door.

For the first time in three years Spencer reached out, took the initiative and laced her fingers thru the brunette's, tugging her inside. Once the door was shut and locked again Ashley looked around. The place was heaven and she was there with the love of her life. It was a garden, fully bloomed, with a play ground to the left and a stunning waterfall flowing into a watering hole perfect for swimming on the right. A rainbow arched across the length of the watering hole from the mist of the waterfall, giving the place a magical feeling. A tiny beach led into the watering hole for easy access.

The two walked to the small beach and took their shoes off, feeling the sand between their toes. Spencer squeezed Ashley's hand gaining the older girl's attention, "I missed you!" the blonde collapsed into her arms in tears. In shock at the sudden motion Ashley fell backward onto the sand with Spencer lying on top of her, de-jah-vu, she thought with a silent chuckle.

"I missed you too baby girl," Ashley whispered into the sobbing girl's ear while stroking her back in circles and relishing in the feel of Spencer's body pressed firmly against hers, the blonde's head secure in the crook of her neck as tears flowed down her skin to the sand beneath them.

TBC.
