Hey all. Big thanks to those who have reviewed and put this on story alert. Bigger thanks to Xxashleyluver4lifexX for writing me that huge note; it meant a lot trust me. Big congrats to LHathNoFury for guessing the song Can't Move On by Automatic Loveletter. Hopefully you didn't cheat. I have a slight obsession with Miss Juliet Simms, hence the username. On a better note I have fully recovered from being outed, and I'm better than ever. This is kind of filler, but we all need to see the Spashley goodness now that the show's over. I'll stop rambling now :]
Stolen Hearts
[Spencer's P.O.V.]
So I've missed waking up like this. An arm around my waste, her breath on my neck, everything about her it's just perfect. These moments just make everything seem so simple. It's moments like this that give everything in life hope. It sounds stupid, I know trust me, but it's so true. It's like something bad can happen today, I mean the worst possible thing EVER could happen, but as long as I have this memory, everything has a hopeful ending.
I remember being little and having my wedding and whole life completely planned out, pony and all. And I think about it all now and just laugh. Everything is turning out completely different from those predictions of prince charming and huge castle home. Most people would hate to look back and see how things have turned out, but not me. So what if my prince charming is actually a princess, and who cares if I ever get my castle, I mean who wants to clean that place anyway? Not me.
I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Everything we do was meant to be done, and everyone that breaks us is meant to be there. Everything we regret is just one more thing we won't learn from. Life is going to throw us all over the place, but that's what makes it so beautiful. We get thrown everywhere, and in the end we find ourselves. Life is a learning experience, plain and simple. And in these moments, make all the bad things worth it, make all the regrets slip away.
For a long time I hated what happened at prom. But without all that, I wouldn't be here with Ash. I think without that she and I wouldn't have lasted. I've heard that true love is a love lost, and I never understood it until now. It's really true that you don't know what you have until it's gone. Ashley is a walking poster board for that. I'm not trying to brag and make me seem like this wonderful thing, but think about it. She took everything we had for granted, and it turned out to become a living hell for both of us. Prom, the shooting, everything showed us the importance in life.
"Morning beautiful"
God doesn't she just have the sexiest morning raspy voice ever? I mean really, it doesn't get any better than that. This is definitely a moment to remember.
"Good morning yourself"
She rolls over and starts stretching, and she yawns and it's adorable. See Ashley doesn't think she does adorable, but she does, and she does it well. Miss Bad Ass isn't as bad ass as she thinks.
"Ugh, what time is it? And whose idea was it to make the morning sun unbelievably sunny?"
Muffled by a pillow it's amazing I understood that sentence. Welcome to Ohio sweetheart, it's always sunny as hell.
"I'm thinkin' God's idea, but that would be a wild guess.
Yes, even at 9 in the morning I have the ability to out smart ass the queen of smart ass comments. For now anyway, we all know she'll get me back eventually. I'm guessing after she gets her caffeine fix.
"Screw that. Please tell me Ohio isn't so lame that it doesn't have coffee. Preferably in your kitchen, and then in a cup while we sit by the TV under a blanket."
Hopefully we have coffee because I know sure as hell I don't want to pass up that offer.
"Yeah we might be able to manage that. But I'm totally comfortable and there is no way I'm moving."
Just then she stands up, taking all the covers with her. So much for being comfortable right? She's half way to my kitchen before I hear her yell something up to me.
"ARE YOU COMING OR DO I HAVE TO KEEP MYSELF COMPANY DOWN HERE?"
Yeah, Ashley wins.
So we're down stairs and Ashley has yet to figure out my coffee maker. See, she thinks that I don't know how to work it either, but I do. It's just way more fun sitting here watching it spit coffee grounds all over her. Gosh and she's getting so angry, it's hilarious, swear to you, AFHV material right here. Too bad my camera is upstairs.
"GOSH! I swear it shouldn't be this hard. It's fricken coffee! You put in the coffee ground stuff, add water, press the button and MAGIC coffee appears. Nowhere in that did I say coffee maker coats Ashley in coffee."
I haven't decided who she's talking to, but it's funny and I don't care! I don't know how long is fair enough to let her do this, but I can't even stop laughing let alone make out a sentence.
"SPENCER!"
THE WHOLE THING EXPLODED! No lie! Too bad I forgot to tell her that our coffee maker doesn't need a filter like she's trying to use. I'll be sure to tell her about that later, but right now she's covered in coffee and I can't control my laughter.
"Stop laughing, this so is not funny. Forget this, we're going to Starbucks, PLEASE tell me Ohio has one."
If she goes out in public like this, I will pee my pants from laughing.
"Spence seriously, ha, Ashley is covered in coffee from your mutant coffee maker, funny. Now let's go, please?"
"Ash... I can't… Stop… Laughing!"
She sighs and tries to walk away but slips because not only is Ashley coffee coated, so is the nice hard wood floor. But of course while she's falling she grabs me and I fall with her. At this point I feel that if I laugh any longer I am going to die. Lack of oxygen is becoming an issue. But Ash is finally laughing too, we're just laying here, laughing insanely.
Yeah, moments like this definitely make all the bad things seem so small. Who needs drama when I have Ashley?
