The car ride grew off into a comfortable silence as the four just sat and listened to Tracy's Mix of Christmas songs. Ashley could barely hear any of it though, her mind was trying it's best to wrap around how beautiful everything was here. She wasn't sure if it was just because of the snow or if it was because she had never seen such a small town before. Her eyes raced over a church that had large icicles hanging down from its roof, to town stores lined up next to each other as large piles of snow blocked the lower half of her view of them, even the road was some-what covered in the sleet. She noticed a line of cars in a parking lot that were completely covered in the heavy snow, at least and inch high off them. She watched kids throw snowballs, and make snowmen. She noticed there incredibly pink noses. It was so cute. And it really did feel like a good place for a family. 'Maybe I should reconsider moving and settling in the city.' She thought to herself.
"Ash you ok?" Spencer asked taking hold of a few of the other girls fingers. "You're really quiet. It's kind of scary." She said with a teasing smile. Ashley smiled back at her.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just, breathtaking. It's so pretty here. I think L.A. has some competition." Spencer giggled at Ashley before lacing there finger's and resting her head on the girls shoulder. "By the way," Ashley whispered before kissing the crown of Spencer's head. "I haven't forgotten about that full body massage." Spencer nearly burst out laughing as the sentence was said.
"Neither have I Ash. Don't worry, I'm looking forward to it." She whispered back, as she began to toy with the button on Ashley's jeans. It took everything in Ashley's body to not have her breathing quicken or get louder, in fear that she may be heard from up front. Spencer, must not have cared or have forgotten that she was in a car with her family, because within a few seconds she had turned Ashley's face to her and started t kiss her gently and deeply. "I love you." She whispered to the brunette who sat dumbfounded for a few seconds to soon reply with,
"I love you too, baby."
Spencer sat back, again resting her head on the brunettes shoulder, just as the car made the last turn and entered the driveway leading to the ranch. It was gorgeous, made out of brick, and also very large. "Mrs. Anderson, this place is huge." Ashley said in awe. The house had high roofs, snow covering them all. Icicles hung from the covered porch, Windows were frosted and smoke came up from the fireplace spout. "It's beautiful too." Ashley breathed.
"Well thank you." Aunt Tracy said. "And no need to be formal go ahead and call me Tracy, or Aunt Tracy if you'd like." She continued. Ashley smiled and nodded at her. This was the type of family she had always wanted, she could feel the love for everyone in the car.
"Come on, I'll give you a tour." Spencer said excitedly as she hopped out of the car and onto the icy driveway. She nearly lost her footing but was saved by Ashley pulling her back quickly.
"You ok?" Ashley asked, worry showing in her eyes.
"Yes, thanks to my knight in armor." Spencer replied cheesily before pecking the girls lips. "Now come on I can't wait for you to see this place." Spencer said as she rushed Ashley out of the car. The two walked hand in hand to the porch and Spencer opened it to reveal a large Foyer that also worked as the living room. Ashley thought the Anderson's must be loaded. There living room held a plasma flat screen, a 360, ps3, and one hell of a dvd collection. The far back of the living room had a wall that came out about half way across the room differentiating itself from the Family room just beyond it. Catty-Cornered in the left was the fireplace that had a small fire going. Ashley loved the sound of the fire popping, even the smell.
"Spencer this place is amazing. Why didn't ask me to come sooner?" Ashley said turning to her girlfriend. Spencer just shrugged and slowly led her further into the house. The family room had another flat screen, only it was larger, a nice black leather sofa, that sat in front of the TV. On it Spongebob Squarepants was playing and Spencer knew her youngest cousin was home.
"Sierra, come meet my friend." Spencer called.
I tiny blond head popped up from the other end of the couch. "Spencer!" The little girl shrieked before running up and giving the older blond a bear hug. "I missed you."
"I missed you too." Spencer said warmly. "This is Ashley, she's my best friend." Spencer said to the girl. Ashley smiled at the young girl happily.
"Hi, Sierra." She said.
"Hi Ashley. It's nice to meet you." the little blond said before sitting back on the couch to watch her shows.
"She's just nervous." Spencer whispered to Ashley before guiding her to the kitchen where Aunt Tracy had already prepared a small snack.
"Thought you guys would like a little something before dinner." She said placing the plate of Apples on the grantie counter. The cupboards were all wood and the flooring a beige tile.
"Thank you Aunt Tracy." Spencer said sitting in a wooden stool, that was on the other side of the counter. She gently pulled Ashley next to her telling her to sit and enjoy the apples. "They are so much better than California's." She added taking a bite out of one. It held a satisfying crunch as she bit down.
"Maybe I should have told your Aunt that I already ate." Ashley said picking up her own slice of apple. Spencer's mouth went agape and she playfully slapped the girl.
"Shut up." She squealed while blushing.
"Ow! Hey that hurt." Ashley said grabbing Spencer's wrists.
"Let me go." Spencer giggled. Ashley just shook her head as she stood off the stool.
"Say sorry."
"No, you started it." Spencer whined. Ashley's smile grew devilish and she playfully yanked Spencer off her stool causing her to crash into the brunette, who still held her wrists.
"Say sorry." Ashley said once more. Spencer just shook her head no and tried to get herself free of Ashley's grasp. "I'm not letting go until I get an apology." Ashley continued as she started to back Spencer into the counter. "So, it's either sorry," Ashley said leaning in towards Spencer's ear. "or I tease you so much that you go insane with sexual tension." She whispered, nibbling on Spencer's earlobe.
"Maybe I want the teasing." Spencer replied a devilish smile plastered on her own face.
"Well, say sorry or I won't tease you." Ashley rose an eyebrow waiting for Spencer's response.
"Sorry." the blond mumbled.
"Now was that so hard?" Ashley teased sitting back down on the stool to take a bite out of apple. "Oh my God. These things are amazing!" She exclaimed forgetting about how hot things had just gotten. "Spence, you weren't kidding." she continued taking another bite out her apple slice. Spencer smiled at the adorability of the chocolate brown teen.
"Hey, I want to show you the rest of the house." Spencer said in almost a whisper as she got off her stool. Ashley followed without a word. They continued to head left and entered a room that was slightly darker than the others. The walls a type of green, and the floor beige carpet. In the middle of the room sat a pool table. Off to the right was a pool table and hanging up in each corner was a small TV each with a different sport on it. One with snowboarding, the other had football, the third had skateboarding, and then the last had snowmobiling. It had plenty of seating and shelves lined with board games.
"I like this place." Ashley said absentmindedly. She was starting to get pulled again.
"That's about it. I'll show you the bedroom's later. But over there is my Aunt and Uncle's room and then that's the study." Spencer said pointing to other doors.
"Spence, this place is unreal. I want to buy a place here." Ashley said suddenly.
"What?" Spencer asked caught off guard.
"Not to live here for good. But I want some kind of vacation home in this area. I love it here."
"Ash you just got here. Not that I'm not flattered but, it's a very quick decision to come to." Spencer said trying to reason. Ashley sighed and nodded. She hadn't given up but she understood. She still knew in her heart that she wanted to live in a home like this. At least at some point in her life.
