Chapter 8

It's Monday, which means the weekend is over and it's back to work for Spencer. She's been dreading this day for a while, but only because she's reluctant to leave Ashley alone, especially with the flashbacks she's been having lately.

Spencer set an alarm on her phone, last night, to wake her up in the morning. The vibrations of the phone on the wood nightstand cause Spencer to jump right out of her sleep. Spencer sits up to grab the phone and shut the alarm off. She looks over at the other side of the bed to see if Ashley is awake. How did that not wake her up? Spencer squirms out of their bed, letting Ashley sleep serenely. Spencer takes her shower, finds a decent outfit to work in, and is ready for work sooner than she realized. She makes a mental note of what she needs for work. She hasn't gone to work in over a week so she's got to get back in her routine. Keys. Cell phone. Folders. Paperwork. Anything else? Oh, I gotta let Ash know I'm leaving.

In a soothing tone Spencer whispers to Ashley, "Ash, I'm heading off to work. I'll be back around six, but if you need anything, just call. But if for some reason you can't reach me, call my parents. I left the phone number on the counter where the phone is. I'll see you later." She leans over the bed and kisses Ashley's forehead gently. The kiss startles Ashley and wakes her up.

Ashley inhales deeply while stretching out her arms and legs. She blinks a few times and then recognizes Spencer's face. She wasn't quite conscience when Spencer was talking to her so she asks Spencer, "Did you say something?"

Spencer restates her speech, "Yea. I'm heading off to work and I'll be back around six. If you need anything, you call me, but if you can't reach me, call my parents. I left their number by the phone. Is there anything you need now?"

Ashley yawns and closes her eyes to fall back asleep, but speaks before she doses off, "No I'm fine. Bye Spence."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Around 10:00 am

Ashley sets her bowl of cereal on the coffee table. She situates herself on the couch, first, before doing anything else. She picks up the remote and starts flipping through the channels. She passes by a show she used to watch a lot when it was originally airing. She shouts in excitement, "Boy Meets World!" her mouth opens wide in shock of what's in front of her. "That show is so old! I can't believe they still run it!" They shouldn't have stopped it in the first place. I loved that show. Cory and Topanga were so cute together. She holds the bowl in one hand while shoveling a spoonful of cereal into her mouth. The doorbell rings. She mumbles loudly in response, "Who the hell could that be?"

On the way to the door, she cleans her mouth of milk and swallows the cereal. She doesn't bother to look through the peephole before opening the door. Ashley is not quite dressed, so to speak. Her body is covered in all of the proper places, but there is still skin available to see from the human eye. Ashley releases the door to reveal a deliveryman at the door with a big brown box. She opens the screen door and asks, "Can I help you?"

The young man wipes excessive drool sliding from his mouth. In embarrassment, he shuffles through his papers trying to look for the name of the receiver for the package. Ashley looks at him, waiting for an answer. He finds the paper and in nervousness says, "Yes. Is there a Spencer Davies here?"

"Depends. Why do you want to know?" I don't trust this guy. He looks like he's trying to get up in my business. Well, I really don't trust him because he's a "delivery guy." Mom dated a delivery guy and that didn't turn out well at all.

He clears his throat, still seeming to be nervous, "I need someone to sign off for this package."

Ashley snaps back quickly, "How do I know you're not some creepy guy who stalks people late at night. Or that this isn't just a way to get my signature to somehow connect it with my credit card and then…who knows!"

The guy was caught by surprise by that one. He's never been asked those kinds of questions. He opens his mouth to respond, but is inaudible. I got to see if he's legit. I'll call Spencer to see if she ordered something. Ashley says to the guy, "Could you just wait here a second? I'm gonna call someone to see if you're…you."

This guy is now totally confused by the whole situation. He's been to this house before, but he never got to meet Ashley because she was always out of the house when packages seem to come. This girl is absolutely insane. What? Does she think I'm going to kidnap her or something?

Ashley grabs the phone and races back to the front door to keep an eye on him. Oh, I forgot the phone number. "Wait right here just one more second," she demands. She races back into the kitchen and grabs Spencer's cell phone number. Get her parent's number, too- just in case. She runs back to the door, huffing and says, "A ha! Now let me just call this number and then we'll be set—or not." She forms a fake smile to show him. He lets out a big ball of air, analyzing the situation he is in.

Ring…Ring…Ring…Ring…Ashley begins bouncing up and down, "Come on, pick up!" Hi, you've reached Spencer's phone- leave a message. Ashley looks at the guy's expression and isn't pleased. He seems frustrated and very impatient at the whole ordeal. Ashley reassures him, "Don't worry. You can wait a few more seconds." Ashley begins dialing the number of Spencer's parents house.

Ring…Ring... "Hello?" A masculine voice says on the other end.

"Hi. Um… Mr. Carlin? I'm sorry to call you, but there's this guy at the front door who says he has a package someone has to sign for, but how am I supposed to know he's not lying?" Ashley taps her finger on her leg, patiently waiting for an answer.

"Hmm. I'm pretty sure Spencer always requests the same delivery guy for every package. His name is…Nick? I think its Nick," Arthur says.

Ashley asks the delivery guy, "What's your name?"

"Nick?" he answers with a befuddled look.

"Good answer," She says sharply.

Ashley talks to Arthur, "His name is Nick. Thanks for helping me out. I almost had this kid tied up to a chair with duck tape over his mouth and everything."

Arthur laughs, "It's no problem. Ashley, if you need anything else, feel free to call again."

"Ok. I will. Bye."

"Goodbye."

Ashley hangs up the phone and immediately begins to apologize to Nick, "I'm so sorry for all of that it's just my mom always told me to never trust Deliverymen or Mailmen as a matter of fact. She never really told me why, but I guess it's a long story."

"Well since everything is all clear now, can you please sign this?" he hands over an electronic device where Ashley signs her name.

Ashley asks, "Do you know what's in here?"

With honesty he says, "No, I don't. I'm just the deliveryman." She lends the device back to him. "Have a good day, Miss. And don't pull off any shenanigans you did today. You really gave me a scare. I didn't know if you were gonna pull a gun on me or not."

Ashley's eyes widen like quarters and she admits, "NO. I would never do that. But you have a good day, too. And for your sake, I hope you don't run into another crazy person like me."

----------------------------------------------------

Around 1:00 pm

Ashley sits on a kitchen chair, facing the package with her knees up to her chin, contemplating on what to do with the brown box. The package is on the floor, waiting to be opened. Ashley rests her head on her hand, which is supported by the table.

She releases her hand to tap her fingers on the table, arguing with herself on what to do. Do I open it or do I just leave it? She tilts her head, still looking at the container. I mean, even though she ordered it, everything that's hers is mine and everything that's mine is hers because we're married, right? She lets out a big sigh and finally says, "Oh, what the hell." She picks herself up from the seat to find a sharp object in the supply drawer. In amazement, "What? No scissors? What kind of house doesn't have scissors where they should be?"She decides to grab a pen, instead. She, with full force, thrusts the pen deep into the box, causing the tape to fracture.

Ashley extorts the pen from the tape and begins to slash open the box with her hands. The tape makes a popping sound at each end of the box. She turns over the last flap of the box to reveal…bras. She screams, "What tha!"

"Wow. I haven't even been with her a month and I already get to see her undergarments," Ashley smirks. "This is so…hot!" She jostles the bras to count all of them. One, two, three, four! They look like they could fit me. She smiles wickedly due to an idea that popped into her mind. "Spencer Davies, this was a very bad idea."

She shoves the bras back in and closes the box to the best of her ability. Ashley races upstairs with the box in her hands. She walks into their closet and places the box strategically, hiding it from Spencer. She closes the closet and proceeds to put on real clothes.

--------------------------------------------------

5 minutes later

Ashley is in the kitchen, rummaging around for money. Eventually, she comes by an empty coffee container that says: EMERGENCY MONEY. Ashley argues with herself on whether she should take it or not. This is necessarily an emergency because I can't find any other money because Spence didn't leave me with any. At least, I don't think so. She pops open the lid to find a couple hundred dollars in there, mostly in 20's. Ashley grabs one 20-dollar bill and seals the lid back on. She snatches the keys that are hanging and races out the door to the car. She's headed to Target.

----------------------------------------------------

At Target

Where are they? I was just here a couple days ago, how can I not remember where anything is? Ashley decides to ask an employee for help. She walks up behind a male employee and asks, "Excuse me? Can you tell me where the men's dress shirts are? Or button up shirts?"

The young man turns around and answers, "They're over on aisle nine."

Ashley is startled by who turned around to answer her. She checks the nametag before anything else. Ace. What a name. He looks exactly like Nick. It's probably his twin. She asks, shrugging her eyebrows, "Have we met before?"

He gives a confused look with a smile and replies, "No. I'm sure I would've remembered." He winks. She understands that and immediately scuffs in disgust.

She marches away, going towards aisle nine. I guess twins not only look alike, they think alike, too.

-------------------------------------------------------

Around 7:30 pm

Spencer yells into the house as she walks through the door. "Ash, I'm home!"

Ashley is lying comfortably on the couch, snoring away, but not loudly enough for Spencer to hear. Spencer hears the sound of the TV going. She frees her bag from her hands and takes off her jacket. She flings her jacket to land on a piece of furniture in the dining room. She lets out one big sigh as she hangs up her keys on the hook. She looks around the family room to see if Ashley was on one of the couches visible to her eye- she wasn't. She peaks to look at the couch that is tucked underneath the counter. She asks slowly and subtly, "Aaash?"

There is no response so Spencer walks around to find Ashley sleeping on the couch. Spencer smiles at how comfortable she looks. Spencer grabs a blanket from the basket to cover Ashley with. Spencer shuts off the TV to leave Ashley in peace. The consistent noise of the TV was what kept Ashley asleep, now that it has stopped; she wakes up to Spencer standing in front of her. She says woozily, "Hey, Spence. How was work?"

Spencer turns around and answers, "It was fine. How was your day?"

Ashley lies, "It was ok. Nothing too special happened around here."

Spencer frowns, "I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to stay here until we figure out what you want to do about your music."

Ashley sits up, rubbing her eyes and says, "We can figure that out later. First, lets figure out what's for dinner. I'm starving."

-------------------------------------------------------------

Around 10:30 pm

The only sound going throughout the room is the rustling of pages by Spencer. She sits up in her bed, working on paperwork for her clients. She removes her glasses to take the focus off of the paperwork. She yawns deeply, rubbing her eyes. She blinks a few times to come to look at the time. It's 10:30 already? It's gonna be a looong night.

Ashley is in the bathroom, getting ready for bed. Except this was going to be a different type of "bed." Ashley yells from the bathroom, "Hey Spencer!"

Spencer replies, "What?"

Ashley opens the door slowly she says, "Would you mind telling me how I look?"

Ashley leans against one side of the doorframe like a model whose posing. On her is a men's blue button-up top that is partially buttoned up. Designated parts were left uncovered. Underneath the shirt is one of Spencer's new bras- the pink one with black lace. She found matching "bottoms" to the bra at Target.

Spencer's mouth drops. Ashley Davies! Ha-ha you took my bra. You're looking so hot in it baby.

Ashley asks, "Do you like it?" She stops. She begins to trip over her words, "I mean I could've gotten it in another color. I just thought blue would look nice."

Spencer keeps her eyes on Ashley as she drops the paperwork to the floor on her side. She assures, "You look gorgeous in anything."

Ashley walks slowly over to the bed. She jumps on the bed and crawls towards Spencer. She says, "Well how would you like to see it off of me?"

With her mouth still open from shock, Spencer looks all over Ashley's body, "I think I would die from the heat wave your body would cause."

Ashley inches closer to Spencer, but not touching her yet. She demands, "Take it off."

Spencer does what she's told and begins to unbutton her shirt gradually. She gets to the last button, but stops. She looks up at Ashley and says seriously, "Ash, you don't have to do this. I can wait until your ready."

Ashley takes care of the last button and says, "I'm sure I'm ready." Ashley takes Spencer's hand to guide her to a part of the bed with more room. Ashley plows Spencer down, but in a romantic way. Ashley lies on top of Spencer, stroking her hair away from her face. She asks Spencer, "You know why I'm ready?"

"Why?"

"Because I love you."

Spencer smiles and says, "I love you, too." She pulls Ashley's hair away from her face. Spencer pulls Ashley's mouth into hers and they begin to kiss passionately.

Though, within a few seconds, Ashley is knocked out into another flashback. Ashley's limp body falls onto Spencer. Spencer asks, "Ashley?" She checks her pulse. She feels Ashley's air breathing on her neck. She asks again, "Ashley?" Spencer gently flips her over to see her eyes are closed. Spencer immediately knows what's up. "What a perfect time to have a flashback. Well, hope it's a good one. Night, Ash." Spencer kisses her cheek and moves to her side of the bed to fall asleep.

***

April 2006

Spencer and Ashley are sitting on the family room couch. Spencer has her head on Ashley's shoulder. Ashley has her right arm over Spencer's shoulder. They're comfortably in their positions as they watch TV. They're watching The Notebook. They both fell in love with this movie, together, because they could loosely base it on their relationship. Paula was vicious by refusing to let Spencer be with Ashley, but they snuck away a few times to be together.

Ashley quietly says to Spencer, "Hey guess what today is."

Spencer looks up at Ashley and asks, "What?"

Ashley says playfully, "It's our 6 month anniversary, silly."

Spencer releases herself from Ashley's arm and asks in shock, "Are you serious? You're kidding, right?"

Ashley assures, "No, I'm not kidding."

Spencer frowns, "I didn't even remember because of all the things going on with my mom lately, it's just been too much to even comprehend." Spencer pauses. "Ash, I didn't even get you a present. I feel really bad now."

Ashley reels Spencer back into to her arms. She eases Spencer, "Don't worry. Just having you here, with me, is good enough." Ashley kisses the top of Spencer's head. She waits a few moments and says, "And you know what?"

Spencer doesn't lift her head, "What?"

"I love you," Ashley says, holding one deep breath.

Spencer picks up her head, looking at Ashley in shock. Ashley had never said those words before, let alone mean them. Spencer says back, "I love you, too. So much." Spencer lays a kiss on Ashley's lips passionately.

The two of them get into the kiss, causing Spencer to sit up completely to have more mobility. Ashley places her hand on Spencer's cheek to embrace the feeling of her face. Spencer moves her hands to hold Ashley's ribs.

Soon enough, they're using tongue—and a lot of it. They breathe heavily as they move in and

out of each other's mouth quickly. Ashley runs her hand through Spencer's hair to move it away from her face.

Spencer breaks away from Ashley's soft lips to catch her breath. She looks at Ashley seriously and says in a monotone voice, "I want to make love to you."

Ashley doesn't answer with words, but with kisses. She kisses Spencer with small, quick pecks on the lips for a few seconds. She then sits up from the couch and reaches out her hand to bring Spencer into her bedroom.

*

Ashley stops Spencer in her tracks, but to only protect her. She says, "Spencer, don't feel like you have to do this if you're not ready."

She assures Ashley, "I'm ready, Ash. I may not know what the hell I'm doing, but I know that I love you."

Ashley kisses Spencer after that, romantically.

Within a few moments, Ashley slides her tongue into Spencer's mouth. Without breaking their lips apart, Ashley removes her top, leaving only her bra.

Spencer splits away from Ashley's lips to examine Ashley's bra. Spencer's mouth drops slightly due to the astonishment of what she's looking at. This is surreal. Spencer gently puts her hand on Ashley's chest, getting used to the feeling of a girl's instead of a guy's. Spencer almost reaches the point of hyperventilation by breathing heavily, but directs her attention to Ashley. Spencer plows Ashley onto the bed, making them crash hard.

Spencer picks herself up from touching Ashley with her arms. She supports herself with her arms as she lets her hair just hang in front of her, still kissing Ashley. Ashley pulls back Spencer's hair from her face. Ashley shifts her lips to move away from Spencer's.

She grips Spencer's hand to guide it towards her pussy. Spencer unbuttons Ashley's jeans and slowly slides them off of her legs.

Spencer sees Ashley's panties, but rips them off, instead.

Spencer crashes her lips into Ashley's. They move their mouths widely, together adding more passion to their kisses.

She glides her fingertips over Ashley's stomach, making her shiver. Words are finally spoken, "Does that feel good, Ash?"

"Yes."

Spencer lowers her hand more to meet with Ashley's sobbing wet pussy. Spencer slowly enters a finger into Ashley. "You're so wet. I love it." Ashley immediately closes her eyes, embracing the great feeling of Spencer fucking her. She moves her finger in and out quickly, causing Ashley to breath deeply. Spencer asks a rhetorical question, "It feels good, doesn't it?"

"Fuck yea Spencer." Spencer slows down for a second. "Don't stop baby. It feels so good, please don't stop."

Spencer adds another finger, creating more of a sensation. "Oh my God, Spence. Keep going." Spencer obeys and begins to thrust her fingers in deep, hard, and fast. "Spence…I'm gonna…"

"Almost there baby."

"SPENCE."

"One more sec-"

Ashley has an orgasm that causes her to quiver and say, "Ahh…"

Spencer crashes onto Ashley, breathing greatly. She places her dried out lips onto Ashley's. She pulls away and says, "I love you so much, Ash."

"I love you, too Spencer." Ashley flips Spencer over so she can be on top now. "Let me show you how much." Ashley rips off Spencer's top and bottoms within a minute.

Ashley kisses Spencer's stomach, allowing her to get as close to an orgasm without reaching one. Spencer breathes heavily, alerting Ashley to begin her business.

Ashley doesn't take her time. She immediately plunges her face into Spencer's soaking pussy and begins to lick it. Spencer is so hot due to many factors: Ashley's fucking her brains out, Ashley's hot, and she just made Ashley have an extraordinary orgasm.

Ashley takes long strides, licking Spencer's clit. It doesn't take long for Spencer to reach her climax because Ashley knew what she was doing and made her cum quickly.

Spencer has a powerful orgasm that causes her to shake uncontrollably.

Ashley moves up to Spencer's lips to kiss. Its Ashley's turn to ask a rhetorical question, "So how was it?"

"Do you even have to ask?" She catches her breath. "It was amazing. Absolutely amazing."

"Good because it was for me, too," Ashley smiles.

***

1:30 am

Ashley awakes from her flashback to Spencer cuddling her. She flips over to be eye-to-eye with Spencer. She kisses Spencer, purposefully trying to wake her up to show her how she feels about her.

Spencer pushes away Ashley to ask, "What's the occasion?"

"Because I love you and I want to show you how much."

Ashley and Spencer continue to kiss until they eventually fulfill what they wanted to earlier in the evening.
