Chapter 14

My alarm started going off so I got out of bed and started getting ready for school. The only thing that gave me motivation to actually get out of bed was seeing Ashley before school. I take a nice hot shower and then pick out a cute outfit that Ashley would appreciate, I hope. I put some make up and headed downstairs to wait for Ashley, she should be on her way soon. As soon as I got down stairs she texted me letting me know she was on her way.

"Hey sis, you need a ride to school today?"

"No Ashley is picking me up but thanks Glen"

"No problem just didn't want to leave without you"

"She is actually on her way so your fine to leave. Where's Clay?"

"He's already waiting in the car for me"

"Ok well I guess I'll see you at school"

"See ya"

As Glen was walking out the door I saw Ashley pull up so I grabbed my bag and made my way out to her car. I didn't even get the door shut before she was pulling me in for a kiss.

"Sorry I just wanted my good morning kiss"

"Hey I'm not complaining ha ha"

"You ready to go?"

"Yup ready when you are"

We pulled out of my drive way and started heading to school. Once we got to school, we still had some time to kill before the bell rang so we just sat in the car to kill time.

"You want to have dinner with me tomorrow night?"

"Sure. Where?"

"My house"

"Order in?"

"No actually I was going to cook you dinner, if that's ok?"

"That sounds perfect to me. Wait, you can cook?"

"Well when your dad is gone a lot you learn how to do things on your own."

"Yea I guess you have a point there, I just figured that you had a someone there that cooked for you all the time and everything"

"I did, until I was about 13 or 14 then I asked for help one day and John taught me everything I know in the kitchen"

"That's cool"

"So I would like to spend an evening just us and me cooking you dinner"

"Ok it's a date."

"Great"

Then we heard the bell ring signaling for us to go to homeroom. Ashley walked me all the way to the door where we said our good byes knowing that we would see each other in 20 minutes in first period. I walked in dreading having to see Madison but to my surprise, when I walked in the door she just rolled her eyes and looked the other way. I'm actually happy that she hasn't said a word to me since homeroom yesterday. Maybe she will finally get the hint that she doesn't own this school. Homeroom got over quick and I was on my way to first period. Once I got there, Ashley was already in there and waiting for me.

"Is this seat taken?"

"Actually it is, I'm just waiting for my beautiful girlfriend to show up"

"Well then I guess it's a good thing that I'm your girlfriend, huh?"

"Yes it is"

I sat down to get everything that I needed for this class out and ready to go. Once I was all set the teacher walked in and started class. Five minutes into class a piece of paper landed on my desk and immediately knew who it was from because it came from her direction.

So I hear that something else happened yesterday that you didn't tell me about J

Oh really? And what's that?

I hear that you and Madison had a nice little conversation in homeroom that caused her to storm out.

Yea well I was getting tired of her running her mouth!

I hear you made her so mad that she actually left school grounds, what was she saying?

She just started running her mouth again about you and everything

Wait, you defended me?

Of course baby, you're my girlfriend and I'm not going to let anyone talk about you that way

Wow, I don't know what to say….

Just say that I'm amazing! Ha ha

You really are Spence, you are an amazing woman. No body has ever stood up for me before…

Well you better get used to it

Just then the bell rang signaling class is over. Ashley again walked me to my next class and we said our goodbyes this time saying that we would text each other.

"I'll see you at lunch"

"K text me"

"Of course"

I went into my class and sat down. I don't even remember anything that really happened in my classes before lunch because I was to occupied with either actually talking to Ashley or thinking about her. I'm starting to think my dad might be right but I won't tell her that. I don't want to scare her away.

Lunch finally came around and I walked out to the quad to find Ashley surrounded by a group of people, for someone that says she doesn't have friends she surely is surrounded by them. I walk up to them and immediately Ashley's face lights up. She shoves someone off the bench so I can sit next to her. I sit down and wait for her to explain why all these people are here.

"Ash what are all these people doing here?"

"Apparently your little outburst with Madison made it's way around the school yesterday and every body has some how figured out that everything they said was a lie and I never cheated on Aiden."

"Yea Ash we are so sorry for the way we have treated you in the past. We shouldn't have done that. Your life is your business. I think honestly we were all just afraid of Madison so we went with whatever she said. But after some of us saw and heard what your friend Spencer did we realized that it's all bullshit."

"Honestly it's cool, it's whatever. I'm over it. I have all the friend I need sitting here next to me"

"Ash that's really sweet but you can have more then 1 friend."

Ashley leaned over and whispered in my ear….

"I really want them to know that this amazing girl sitting next to me is my girlfriend but I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

I sat there and thought about it and I realized I honestly didn't care what people thought about me, my dad and brother knew and they accepted me and that's all that mattered to me.

"But I don't want to lose my quality time with my girlfriend" I think Ashley's jaw just dropped at the fact that I called her my girlfriend in front of everyone.

"We wouldn't take away your best friend"

"But you might try and take my girlfriend" I have no idea who this guy is but he won't stop staring at Ashley and apparently thinks when I call her my girlfriend I just mean friend.

"Baby no one would ever take you away from me."

"Wait you mean you two are together?"

"Yes do you need me to spell it out for you?"

"No, I mean we all knew that Ashley slept with girls and all we just didn't know that she actually committed to a relationship"

"Well she has so she is off limits in that department."

"Hey no problem after seeing your work with Madison, you definitely don't have to worry about me trying to step in"

"Good. Now if you guys don't mind can I have my girlfriend all to myself?"

"Sure"

And just like that they all disappeared. Once they were all gone I looked at Ashley and she has this look of awe on her face and the biggest smile I think I ever seen in my life.

"I can't believe you just told all them that we are together."

"Well you told me you wanted them to know"

"I know but I didn't think you would actually do that."

"Well I did and I'm proud to call you my girlfriend."

"So how do you feel about PDA?"

"Hmm does this answer your question?" I leaned over and kissed her.

"Yes it does" she kissed me this time. I don't care what I have to face with the world, as long as Ashley is by my side, I know I will make it through anything.

The rest of my day went by really slow. I couldn't wait for the day to be over mostly because I just didn't feel like being at school anymore. The final bell rang and I went to my locker to get everything that I'll need to do homework tonight. I was surprised that Ashley wasn't waiting by my locker when I got there but it's ok. I shut my locker and started walking towards the parking lot when I saw her leaning against her car talking to some girl. I don't know who this girl is but she is flirting with Ashley and I don't like it. I started walking towards Ashley's car when I saw the girl hand Ashley her phone, Ashley typed what I'm assuming is her number in the phone and handed it back to her. That part actually didn't really bother me, it's what happened next that struck me the wrong way. The girl kissed Ashley on her cheek then turned to walk away when Ashley grabbed her arm and pulled her back to her. I probably should have let right then but decided to keep watching to see what happened, I walked closer so I could hear without Ashley knowing I was listening…

"Look I have a girlfriend and we will never be more then friends again, ok?"

"Why because you have this new girlfriend? Seriously Ash, since when are you ever faithful in a relationship? You've never turned me down before no matter who you were with." she said touching Ashley and getting closer.

"No Kelly this one's different, I actually love her and want to be with her. I will not cheat on her. I don't even want to look at another girl. And I can change, I'm not the same person I was."

"Whatever Ashley! Once a cheater, always a cheater. We'll just see how long it takes for you to fuck this relationship up"

"Get away from me Kelly. I don't want you near me ever again. And lose my number, forever!"

So I have the biggest smile on my face right now for 2 reasons: 1. Ashley said she loves me 2. She is blowing off this girl that apparently she used to sleep around with. Maybe this is the start of something amazing. Kelly got mad and stormed off and Ashley just stayed there looking at the school then her cell phone. My phone started vibrating…

Baby where u at? I miss u xoxo -A

I didn't even respond to her text I walked around the car, startling her and kissed her.

"I missed you too babe"

"Wow what was that for?"

"No reason, I just missed my gorgeous girlfriend"

"Riiigggghhhhtttt"

"So are we ready to go?"

"Whenever you are"

"Let's go"

We talked to whole ride home and Ashley still has no clue that I saw what happened and heard what was said with that girl. I don't know if I should tell her not…

"You ok? You suddenly got real quiet"

"Yea I'm fine. Did you want to come over and do your homework at my house?"

"If I'm at your house, I don't think I would be able to concentrate on my homework ha ha"

"I bet you could get yo to concentrate on it"

"Oh really? And hows that?"

"By not letting you kiss me or touch me until your homework is done the right way" I have an evil smirk on my face knowing that she wouldn't like that idea.

"That's just mean and wrong"

"Well if that's what it takes to spend time with you and get you to do your homework then so be it"

"Fine"

"So you coming over?"

"Your parents won't mind?"

"Seriously? You think my dad would mind you being there?"

"True"

We have been in my room doing homework for about 45 minutes now. I am almost done but I don't even think Ashley has started yet. She has just been starring at me almost at me instead of doing it.

"Ashley, have you even started your homework?"

"Actually I'm done"

"How are you done, you've barely done anything"

"Don't believe me?"

"I don't know. I mean you've barely picked up your pen to do any work"

"Yea well maybe I had most of it done today"

"When?"

"I had nothing to do in one of my classes so I did my homework thinking that I would get to spend more time with you tonight instead of doing homework"

"Wow smart planning"

"So can I have those kisses now?"

"If I had known that I wouldn't have kept them from you" I leaned over kissing Ashley softly.

"Well I didn't want you getting distracted from your homework so yea"

"Hmm well since our homework is completely done can we have some girlfriend time?"

"I thought you would never ask"

I pushed Ash back so she was laying down on the bed with me straddling her. I have come to find that this is one of my favorite things to do with Ashley when we are alone. Our make out session is started to get really heated when I notice that Ashley snuck her hand up under my shirt, not that I'm complaining, it just surprised me. I moved my lips off of hers trailing them down her jaw line earning a moan from her. I start licking and sucking which is making her squirm under me. She grabs my face and pulls my lips back to hers.

"Spence"

I don't stop. I keep going. I'm not ready for this to end.

"Spence" kiss "we" kiss "need" kiss "to" kiss "slow down"

This makes me stop and look at her…

"Why?"

"Because if we keep going, I don't think I will be able to stop."

"What if I don't want you to stop?"

"I don't want you to feel like you have to rush into this. I promise I will wait forever if that's what it takes for you to be ready"

"I know Ash but I really want you."

"I know" I sit up playing with my hands dreading the answer to the question I'm about to ask.

"Do you not want me?" she sits up and looks me right in the eye.

"Of course I do baby but I don't want to rush into it. I want our relationship to be about more then sex."

"Trust me Ash, our relationship wouldn't be just about sex. I care about you too much to let that happen."

"I care about you too, I actually want this relationship to work. Every girl I have ever been with, I hooked up within a week of knowing them. Some of them, that night. I don't want that to happen with you. I actually want to wait until the time is right and I want it to be special. At a time where we can enjoy each other and not worry about someone interrupting us, you know what I mean? Don't think for one second that I don't want you because I want more then anything."

"Good. I guess I can wait a little longer" I said smirking and placing a light kiss on her lips before getting off. Just as my feet hit the floor there was a knock on my door.

"Girls dinner is done if your hungry"

"Thanks dad, we'll be down in a minute"

"See that's exactly what I was talking about ha ha"

"Yea yea yea. Come one lets go eat"

I love having dinner with dad and Ashley. He makes her feel like she is part of the family which is something Ashley isn't used to. Dinner only lasted about a half hour then Ashley offered to do dishes which my dad insisted she didn't have to do but she refused to let him win. So once dad finally gave up fighting with her about I offered to help her. Dishes took longer then it should have because we started playing around while doing them. Me and Ashley kept stealing kisses and touches the whole. Once we were finally done we went back upstairs to watch a movie. We fought over who was going to choose the movie but in the end decided on a movie together, I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry.

When the movie ended Ashley got up and got her stuff together to go home. I wish she could just stay the night with me instead I walked her downstairs and to the front door so she could leave.

"I'll see you in the morning"

"Of course! Text me when you get home so I know you got there safe"

"I will"

"Night Spence. Sweet dreams"

"Night Ash"

She kissed me before leaving me to go home so we could both get out sleep because, like always, we had school in the morning. Five minutes later I got a text from Ashley.

I'm home baby I'll see you in the morning :-* xoxo -A

Sweet dreams babe :-* xoxo -S

I laid my phone on the nightstand and fell asleep quickly with dreams of Ashley on my mind. Just as I was getting ready to fall asleep something else popped in my mind, what did Ashley put in that girls phone?….
