"Do you to really think that that sort of behaviour is appropriate?" Coach asked, her arms across her chest and her foot tapping impatiently on the damp grass.
"Yes?" Ashley asked as we walked down the bleachers, hand in hand.
"There are two, maybe three things wrong with what you were just doing."
"Really? What are those things?" I asked as I raised my eyebrow.
"Firstly, Spencer, we allow you to come here over an hour early so that you can warm up, not make out with your girlfriend. Secondly, aren't you two going to be sister?" she asked with some concern in her words.
Ash shook her head slowly and looked at her feet. "I'm going to live with my dad soon."
"Well I'm sorry that we will lose you from the team." Coach said sincerely.
"Oh no, I am not moving schools. Just out of the Carlin's."
"Well I am glad to hear that. And thirdly." She sighed and scratched her forehead. "Look, I don't want you two to think I have a problem with you both being girls, I mean, my wife and I have a gay son. But just be careful. Some people can be very hurtful." She smiled sadly.
I never thought Coach was gay. I mean, I always had a sneaky feeling, but nothing to go on.
"Thanks Coach, but we are more than ready to tell people."
"And your families?"
"My dad is fine with the idea and can't wait to meet Spence." She squeezed my hand in hers and I looked into her eyes.
"I don't know what mine will say." I sighed sadly as I looked back to Coach.
"It's your choice guys, but if you need to talk, or a release, come see me ok?"
We nodded together and she smiled softly as the rest of the team joined us on the field. Ashley's hand stayed firmly in mine and my knees went weak when she kissed the edge of my mouth in front of the whole team. She was whispering something in my ear about her favourite fantasy and all I wanted to do was take her home and act it out. I didn't hear Coach shouting at me to pick teams with Dennison.

As soon as we got to my room, her back was against my door before she could take a breath.
"You are too fucking hot Ash, did you know that." I breathed as I kissed her neck. She groaned and pushed me backwards off of her.
"Spencer, your parents are downstairs." She whispered.
"I don't care. You got me all worked up at training, I need a release." I grumbled as I pulled her back to me but she resisted.
"No Spencer." She turned her back to me and walked over to her bed, grabbing her school bag and pulling out her glasses and homework. I watched her silently as she put her glasses on. "Stop it Spencer, I'm trying to work.
She looked over the top her glasses at me, her head still tilted down. She put the end of her pen on her mouth, her tongue sneaking between her teeth to lick it. I bit my lip and sulked out of the room, bumping in to Glenn, literally.
"Hey dude."
"Hey 'lil sis. Why aren't you in there? Did you two fight?" concern and worry covered his face.
"No, she just won't give me anything." I said hushed and slightly frustrated.
"Probably because mom and dad are downstairs Spence. Go take a cold shower." He chuckled and I shoved him playfully and walked to the bathroom.
"Spence?" my father's voice came from the stairs. "Can I have a word?"
I nodded slowly. My dad hasn't really been the verbal parent. This is what he does. Little chats every now and again when something is on his mind about us.
So my heart leapt to my throat, thinking the worse.
Shit he knows and he is going to throw me out!
He motioned towards his bedroom and I went in ad took a seat on his bed.
"How are you coping Spencer?" he asked softly as he sat beside me.
"With what?" I asked slightly confused.
"You know, with Ashley going away."
"Well she isn't really going away is she dad, she's only going to be like four blocks away."
"You have changed since you met her, haven't you?"
"I have, yeah." I smiled slightly. I knew I was happier and it showed. Ashley made me happy.
"She makes you smile Spencer." I nodded. "You love her."
His last statement hit me like a ton of bricks. I went dizzy and couldn't breathe. I knew I loved her but hearing my father say it, made it more real. I swallowed hard.
Do I come out to my dad now?
Do I lie again and make myself feel bad?
"I really do dad." I said hesitantly. He smiled and nodded.
"Go get her." I nodded silently and walked out of his room, into mine and grabbed Ashley's hand.
"Spence, I said no… oh." She stopped once I placed her in front of my dad.
I stood next to her and squeezed her hand in mine as dad smiled his approval.
"You love my daughter Ashley?"
"I do sir, very much so." She answered without any hesitation.
"It would have been great to have you as part of this family Ashley, maybe one day that could still happen?"
Whoa wait! No he did not just say that!
"Dad! What the hell? We are only in hi-,"
"Maybe. I hope so, if Spencer will have me." Her arm went around my waist and her eyes connected with mine. I felt my dad's eyes burning into my cheek.
They were both staring at me
What? Was I supposed to give an answer?
Wait!
Did she propose to me?
"I… uh… what?"
"I believe Ashley just asked you to marry her. Do keep up Spence" Dad said with a little laugh.
I looked at her and she blushed.
I grabbed her cheeks and rested my forehead against hers. She seemed a little hesitant to be close because my dad was there but I ignored him and grazed her lips softly with my own.
"Of course I will marry you baby. I love you." I smiled as I answered.
Her hands found my hips and she kissed me.
"I love you too Spence."
"Aww, my little girl is all engaged! I'm proud of you Spence." Tears filled my eyes and I felt Ash wipe them away as I looked at my dad. He smiled and hugged me before he looked at Ashley and said, "Take care of her." And walked out.
