Spencer woke up tangled up in Ashley's arms

Spencer woke up tangled up in Ashley's arms. She sighed taking in all that was the feisty brunette. Pressing up against her neck, Spencer breathed in the older girl's scent, taking it in and holding it deep inside her for as long as she could. Glancing at the clock on Ashley's bedside table, Spencer found that she was up very early. The blonde knew that the other girl wouldn't be stirring for another two to three hours. Spencer felt small movements from the girl next to her and tilted her head upward at the sleeping girl. The sight that met the younger girl caused a giggle to erupt from inside her. Ashley had a small curl in her face, which was tickling the girl's nose. Ashley, still fast asleep, scrunched her nose repeatedly, attempting to get away from the bothersome curl. After a few more seconds of watching the amusing display, Spencer reached up and gently brushed the bothersome strand out of her face and smiled when she saw Ashley's face settle with a look of contentment.

I know I can't stay here with her like this. By the time she wakes up I have to be in my room. Better yet, the studio. Yeah that sounds like a much better place to be. It's 6:30 right now and Ashley won't be up before 9:00, so that means that I have to leave by 8:30. That gives me…2 hours. I'll take it.

Tightening her arm around the smaller girl's waist, Spencer pressed her body closer against the brunette and drifted off to sleep.

Ashley's P.O.V:

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Limbs relaxed.

Eyes shut.

Ashley kept chanting inside her mind, praying that her secret would stay unexposed. The brunette had been awake for the past fifteen minutes and when the blonde began shifting around, it took all of her will power to keep from kissing the blonde senseless.

The older girl slipped into a daydream and began to drift away when a runaway curl decided it preferred the space adjacent to her nose rather than tucked away with the other curls.

Great it's the attack of the invincible curl!

Scrunching her nose, occasionally blowing softly, Ashley attempted every quiet method and way she could think of to rid herself of the ticklish curl. When she felt a hand snake its way up her chest, the brunette froze, terrified that she had been caught. However, the hand reached up and brushed the curl out of her face and behind her ear, trailing torturingly slow against her cheek before reclaiming its position around the brunette's waist.

Ashley knew that the blonde girl in her arms was going to ruin the moment she woke up. She also knew she had to be prepared for whatever was going to occur when this situation was confronted. But Ashley couldn't concentrate on that at this very second. She was happy, no, excited, no, anxious, no…

I'm giddy, you dimwit!

Spencer said she remembered, and she…

…kissed

…Ashley.

Spencer Carlin kissed Ashley Davies.

Not you.

Ashley Davies.

That whore.

Wait, I'm that whore.

Wow.

Oh my god, I'm that whore!!

I'm Ashley Davies!!

Spencer Carlin…

Spencer FUCKING Carlin.

Kissed.

Me!!

Oh…um, where was I?

With everything wrong in the world, at this moment, there was one girl, out of the 6 billion people, who had everything right in hers. Lost in her own world, drowning in thoughts of a blue-eyed, blonde haired girl, Ashley drifted off slowly but surely into a gentle sleep.

Spencer's P.O.V:

Resting against the closed door, Spencer let out a soft relieved sigh. She had successfully snuck out of Ashley's room, taken a quick shower, and slipped inside her own room undetected. She moved around wordlessly, careful not to make too much noise in fear of waking the sleeping brunette in the next room. Spencer was shifting through her dresser when she felt two arms snake around her waist and a pair of lips press against the back of her neck.

"Don't I get a good morning kiss?"

Spencer immediately stiffened in the embrace and at the words whispered suggestively in her ear. Pushing the brunette's arms away gently, Spencer put a reasonable amount of distance between herself and the smirking girl.

"Ashley, I can't. I have a girlfriend."

Ashley's smirk grew as she took another step toward Spencer, steadily closing the distance between them.

"Didn't seem to stop you last night, now did it?"

"Wait, what?"

Ashley's smile faltered for a mere second but Spencer noticed.

Why do I always notice? The smallest twitch of her lips. The way her eyes have narrowed. Her lips are tighter now too.

"Last night. I didn't hear you mention Blondie's name. Not even once. Where have you been? I woke up this morning and you were gone."

"I just came out of the shower, we have to go to the studio today and work. But that's beside the point, Ashley. I think you're a little confused. What do you think happened last night?"

At this point, there wasn't any trace of a smile, or anything that could even be mistaken for smile either, left on the brunette's face.

"I'm not the one confused. I could never forget something like that. Its- it isn't possible okay? Just tell me what you think happened because we need to get you straight with what happened last night."

"I don't think anything and I don't need anything to be cleared up or straightened out. I know what happened last night. There's nothing to be confused about. I'm sure that you came in last night and it was pretty late. I had been home for a while now and I decided to mess around on your piano. I knew you wouldn't mind so I just spent a long time playing randomly when you came stumbling in. I turned around just as you tripped over something and fell. I caught you in time and then you started mumbling about some song you sang for me and I figured that you were talking about that song you sang earlier in the studio and so when you paused. Well, I tried to push you into finishing your sentence so I told you that I remembered, so you would know that I was following with what you said and when I said that you just looked at me and smiled. Then you started to fall asleep so I decided to take you to your bed and get you tucked in. When I tried to walk away, you pulled me back and you didn't let go. So in the end, I stayed with you. This morning, I woke up knowing that we'd have to get to the studio on time, so I took a shower and then you came in and…well, here we are. I'd bet my life on it."

Ashley turned on her heel and kept her back to the confused blonde as one syllable uttered out of her mouth, "Oh."

Spencer's heart broke for the girl.

Somehow it manages to break no matter what when it comes to Ashley. I can't do anything right. She asks me what happened, so I tell her the truth and now she's hurt. What did I say wrong? What the hell was I supposed to say? That we kissed and we lived happily ever after? Yeah right. This is real life. That shit never happens.

"At least, never to me."

Ashley's P.O.V:

The brunette barely managed to make it into the bathroom, before she broke down. She knew that this was going to be hard. Just not this hard. At first she thought that the other girl had been lying but a look at Spencer's face and that nagging feeling in her heart, together they proved her wrong.

God dammit! I should have known! What the hell was I thinking? I could never be with a girl like that. I'm Ashley Davies. Falling in love is not what I do. I break hearts. I always have and I always will. And now? I know exactly who's going to get their heart broken first.

With her new resolve strengthened, Ashley quickly stripped down and stepped underneath the steaming waterfall. Within seconds, she was on the floor with her back pressed up against the wall with tears cascading down her face.

I couldn't break her heart. Who am I kidding? Her heart is more important to me than my own. I'd put it all on the line if it gave me a chance with her. So why can't she just love me? I would give her the world. I would give her my entire heart. Everything she wanted. All she needs to do is ask for it. She just needs to tell me she remembers. Then I can be everything she needs. If only she knew what I was going through. If only? Hah! Fuck it. What the hell did I think was going to happen? That she would kiss me and we'd be together for the rest of our lives? Yeah, like that ever happens in the real world. At least, not to people like me. Or maybe…

"It just doesn't happen to me."
