Ashley's POV
It has sucked this last week that Spencer has been too busy to spend time with me. I mean, last Saturday, she asked me to go to this party for her Uncle. Like with her. WITH, with her. I mean, yeah we have hung out at school and stuff but she hasn't let me get very close to her at all.
And that bugs me.
But now I am on my way to pick her up to go to lunch before we head off to her Uncles. I get to go with her, and be her girlfriend. But I don't get to do anything with her! It's driving me insane! She's driving me insane!
I feel like a nervous teenage boy who has score a date with the hottest girl in school and is about to pick her up. I don't know if I should knock on her front door or if I should text her and tell her I'm here. But I have done this before! I have done this a lot of times before!
So why is it so hard now?
I released my tight grip on the steering wheel and turned the engine off. I looked at my phone and realised that I have ten minutes before I was actually supposed to be here.
For fuck sake!
I think it is just that I don't want to screw this up with her again. Yeah, we will go with that.
Heya Sexy! I'm outside. Take your time! A xx
I looked up at her window and saw her curtains move. Her head appeared between them and I couldn't help but laugh when she waved. I waved back and the butterflies disappeared.
I'll be about 5mins. Love you! S xxx
I plugged my iPod in and switched to my favourite play list. Rebirthing by Skillet came blaring out of the speakers and I pulled my knees upto my chest and started tapping them and banging my head to the beat of the music.
'Your Presence, Filling Up My Lungs With Oxygen!'
I looked over to the door and Spencer was just emerging. Her hair was down and straightened and she was wearing a tight blue shirt with a three quarter length jeans.
'Tell Me When I'm Gunna Live Again, Tell Me When I'm Gunna Breathe You In!'
Shit! I'm screwed!
She smiled as she walked towards the car. I couldn't blink or turn away.
What the fuck is wrong with me today?
Where the hell is cool and collected Ashley fucking Davies?
"Hey."
"Uh... Hi."
"What's wrong with you Ash?"
"Nothing Spence. You look really good."
"Thanks." She blushed. She looked so cute as she tried to hide it.
The song changed as I pulled away. We were surrounded by a comfortable silence as we listened to the music.
'I Like To Make Myself Believe, That Planet Earth Turns, Slowly'
"I didn't know you liked Owl City?" she said softly.
"This song got stuck in my head."
She picked up my iPod and changed the song. I would usually fight with her to change it to something I like or not let her touch my precious iPod to begin with but I wanted to let her know that I trust her and she is that special to me.
'This Is The Last Night You'll Spend Alone, Look Me In The Eyes So I Know You Know'
I felt her eyes burning into my cheek.
"What?"
"Nothing. You are really beautiful, did you know that?"
"I haven't heard anyone say it in a long time." I said quietly. She put her hand over mine on the gear stick.
"I'm sorry we haven't got to spend a lot of time together this week. I planned a bunch of stuff last week."
"It's ok Spence. We are together now aren't we, so it doesn't matter."
"Good."
I stopped at a red light and she turned to me. I stared straight into her eyes.
"How about we skip lunch and go to the beach instead? There will be food at the party."
"But Spence, neither of us are dressed for it are we?"
"So let's go buy a bathing suit and a towel!"
"Ok?"
I turned right, out onto the stretch of shops by the sea.

Spencer's POV
We have 3 hours before we have to leave for my Uncles house. Ash has been almost distant all day. And it's bothering me.
I asked her to come with me to the party today and now she has gone cold on me! What the hell is up with that!
She is led on her back on the hot sand. We found a spot that was almost totally secluded. Actually, the more I think about it, it looks like one of those bays that you would find in a romance novel or some soppy movie where the guy ends up tackling the girls in the waves and they end up having sex right there.
Yuck! Is all I have to say to that.
Yuck!
"Ash?"
"Yeah?"
"What's been up with you today?"
"Nothing, why?"
"You just seem a little off, that's all."
"I'm just confused."
"About?"
"Us."
"Oh. Why?"
"What the hell are we Spence? You tell me you need to sort your head out but we can still kiss and hug and all that stuff, and then you ask me go to a party WITH you and ignore me all week. Stop messing with me Spencer and just tell me what you want!"
"Ash, I'm sorry. I didn't realise how bitchy it was. Ash, I want you."
"You said that Spence." She sat up, "Remember, the other week when you also said you needed time!" she shouted
"I had time!" I raised my voice to match hers. "I have gotten over that stupid mistake and I asked you go come with me because I want you! I want you and me to be like we were again!" I knelt in front of her and cupped her face in my hands. "I want you." I whispered.
"And I only want you." She said softly.
I kissed her with all I could, giving myself to her as much as I could on a public beach.
"Come on, let's get to that party." I said after a while.

Ashley's POV
I know I blew up at Spencer at the beach. But she cant keep doing that to me. It isn't fair! But at least now we have things sorted out. And she is mine again.
"How do we act in there?"
"I don't know Spence, they are your family."
"I know. Would you be ready to tell them today?"
"It's not up to me Spence."
"I know. I am ready. Its just you have been through a lot these last two or three weeks and I mean, I can tell them tomorrow or something,"
"Spence, have I ever told you that you are cute when you ramble?" she shook her head, "well you are. But stop it. Because I will be right beside you ok?"
"Yeah. But let's get some drinks inside us first."
"Yeah, I'm totally not disagreeing with that!"
so when we got there, we were welcomed warmly by most of her family. She went off to see her Uncle on her own. He really doesn't like me. And I don't care, because I have his niece's heart.
Spencer came back with two beers.
"Chug?" I asked.
"Uh… no. we will do it later."
There are about 10 people here right now and Spence says that at least 10 more people are supposed to be here.

About two hours passed and we were starting to get restless.
"Spence, I think we should do it soon. You know, before people get too pissed out of their heads that they forget."
She stood up off the couch and grabbed my hand, pulling me with her.
She dragged me along a corridor and onto the bathroom.
She slammed me up against the wall and I let her take my beer and place it on the sink.
She kissed me hard, her tongue doing things I can't explain.
She moved onto my neck and I was choking back a moan.
"Spence," I said breathlessly, "we cant… oh my god!" she was kissing and licking along the line of my very low-cut top while her hands were touching, stroking, pinching where ever they wanted. "Jesus fuck Spencer!" I moaned.
Her mouth travelled upto my ear and tugged on my earlobe before she whispered, "I love you so damn much baby." She kissed my lips softly before she moved to the other ear. "And you are so hot!"
"Spence!" I groaned.
"Shh!" she scolded.
"This is you Uncles bathroom!" I chocked out.
"So?" she kissed me as the door swung open.
Before I could blink, Spencer was on the other side of the bathroom, straightening up her shirt and hair. I grinned at her as she buttoned up her jeans and I sorted out my bra.
"For god sake Spencer! What did I tell you if you were going to bring Ashley? Hi Ashley."
"Uh... Hi Mrs C?"
"Mom, I'm sorry. Just come in here a sec?" she walked further into the bathroom and shut the door behind her, exaggerating the fact that she locked it.
"What is it Spence?"
Spencer walked over to me and put her hand around my waist. "We, I am going to tell the family today."
"Ok Spence. Do it soon cos everyone is getting shit faced! And I will be here for you."
"Thanks Mom."
We walked into the centre of the garden where most of her family were.
"May I have your attention please!" she tried to shout, but the sound of 15 drunk men was just a little bit too loud for her. I stood on the bench that was in front of us and dragged Spencer up there with me.
"HEY! LISTEN UP!" I turned to Spencer and just smiled my best smile.
"I uh... I have something to tell you all that I cant really not tell any of you anymore. Uhh…"
She stuttered and spluttered for a while.
"Spence, do you want me to..." she nodded vigorously. "Ok uh, my name is Ashley Davies and I am Spencer's best friend. I have been her best friend for like two or three years now. But for about a year and a half or two and a half years of that, I have been Spencer's girlfriend. Spencer wanted to tell you all that she is gay, but as you can see, she choked." She was stood beside me hyperventilating. There was a chuckle amongst her family. "If any of you feel really strongly against us, we will leave quietly."
I jumped down and helped her when Kay came shoving through the people that were wishing us well and a few of Spencer's distant cousins that though we were hot.
"PAULA! Did you know about this?"
"Of course I do."
"And you are fine with it!"
"Of course Kay. She is my daughter. The only thing that has changed about her is that she is going to have children and marry either Ashley or another woman. I love Ashley as if she was my own daughter."
Wow! Did she just say what I think she did!
"Spencer, you were my favourite niece. Please just leave my house."
"Come on Spence, you obviously don't need him."
"Spencer, I will be home in a little while ok?" her mom said and Spencer just nodded.
On the way out, a quiet voice stopped us. The hall was deserted, except for us and a young girl.
"Spencer?"
"What's wrong Dylan?"
"Who's Dylan?" I muttered to her.
"Ash, Dyl is my favourite cousin. She is Uncle Kay's daughter."
"Nice to meet you." Dylan offered me her hand and I shook it.
"You too."
"Can I come with you guys?"
"Uh… if it's ok with Ash?"
"Of course! But, don't scratch the leather in the car."
Spencer's elbow connected with my ribs as we all walked outside and got into my car.
AN:: second one as promised…
