Why'd you have to be so cute?

It's impossible to ignore you

Must you make me love so much?

It's bad enough we get along so well

Say goodnight and go...

Goodnight and Go - Imogean Heap

Ashley smiled down at Spencer as the golden light of the setting sun caught in her hair and set a soft glow across her face. She ran her fingers through the girls soft blonde hair and leant down to kiss her forehead, the same time Spencer looked up to smile at her. Ashley froze, her face centimetre's from Spencer's, so close she could feel Spencer's breath on her lips. Spencer smiled up at her leaning in towards her till there lips gently brushed each others, kissing her softly. Ashkey smiled into the kiss, reaching her hand up to cup Spencer's face in her hand and feel her soft skin beneath her finger tips. Spencer didn't want to pull away, to have to say something, to explain herself. She just wanted the kiss to linger, to sit there in the setting sun with her fingers tangled in Ashley's hair and with her lips against her own, kissing her till the last of the light had faded and the sun had sunken below the horizon and deep into the depths of the ocean. But soon Ashley pulled away, her chocolate brown eyes locked on Spencer's blue ones, searching for answers inside them. Spencer was silent, Ashley was silence and soon the day was fading to night and the world to black and no-one had yet said a word.

"You dad, was looking for you. You should really go find him, he'll be worried sick" Ashley whispered as she remembered why she'd been down looking for Spencer. The moment she'd found her, the moment their lips had locked, her brain had gone into melt down and the emergency sign was falshing 'look out, look out. Ashley's on Spencer overload' as that was all that was running through her mind at the time 'Spencer, Spencer, Spencer'. She swallowed loudly as she watched Spencer rise to her feet, not sure whether to be happy that Spencer had kissed her because for that she was over joyed, or bewhildered at the behavior of this girl she'd thought she had no chance with, or just aprehensive as to what would happen next. So she said nothing as she watched Spencer fade into the night till finally as she was left alone on the dock in endless black the soft words escaped her lips.

"Wow... goodnight"


The resturant was filled with people and buzzing with noise as Spencer sat boredly playing with her food. Paula watched her daughter worriedly, her forehead wrinkling in a frown at her odd behavior ever since they came to this hotel. Maybe it was just summer or growing up. Just some teenage thing and there was nothing to be worried about, but then maybe it wasn't. Spencer had hardly eaten a thing, thinking about Ashley ment her heart was racing a million miles an hour, she was consatnly distracted and the butterflies in her stomach put her of eating. Finally her father got up and walked over to pay the bill as everyone collected up their things to leave. Spencer tiredly slipped her coat back on and headed towards the door, tonight had been a long night. She walked out into the warm night air and waited by the car till her parents finally came out. Clay and Glen had already left together and Spencer cringed at the thought of the silent drive home. Because silence led to thinking and thinking always led to Ashley. She climbed into the backseat, doing up her seatbelt and waiting for the car to go. The streets blurred past as dark sidewalks by dark sidwalks lit by dim orange street lights rolled by and Spencer couldn't help but think. Kissing Ashley replayed in her head over and over as she sat in the car on the long drive home. Her fingers gently brushing over Ashley's soft cheek and entangling themselves in her wavy brown hair. The brunettes tonned body brushing up against hers as she pulled Spencer closer. And the electric feeling every time they touched, each time their lips seperated for a second and collided again. Spencer swallowed, starting to feel sick as the butterflies in her stomach seemed to get more and more hyperactive with each thought of Ashley. And then they where there, back at the hotel as her mother told her softly to get out of the car now honey, they where back. She already knew there was no point trying to get to sleep tonight, it would be a long night awake with thought of a certain stunning burnette and a sunset kiss that seemed to last longer each time she replayed it in her head. She stepped out onto the pavement and followed her parents round to the front door of the hotel. The only sound was that of the soft echoe of their shoes upon the hard ground as they walked.

"Spencer" her father stopeed her as they went to spilt and go their seperate ways at the stairs "before you go to bed there's something I want to show you" he whispered as her mother departed up to their room with a small smile in her daughters direction, blowing her a kiss before she disapeared up the stair well. Spencer looked up at her father curiously, waiting for him to continue impatiently. She felt so heavy and tired even though at the same time she felt so awake she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep. Arthur reached into the pocket of his pnats, fishing out a small leather wallet that looked old and rather worn. He pulled out two photo's and pressed them into the palm of her hand before planting a kiss on her forehead and retreating back after her mother tiredly. Spencer looked down at the photo, it was of two young girls. One she recognised intsantly as herself back when she wore her blonde hair in two cute pigtails with red ribbons tied in bows around them. The other was familiar two though it jump out at her who it was. The girl had wavy brown hair tied back in a high pony tail with a few whisps hanging down infront of her chocolate brown eyes and her nose wrinkled in a huge grin as she stood linking hands with Spencer. She turned the photo over to see small writing scribbled in slightly smudged blue ink: 'Spencer with Ashley at Harpers bay'. Spencer turned the photo back over, running her fingers over it's smooth surface in shock as she stared Ashley's young face, at her sweet innocence that was long lost.

"Ashley..."
