Spencer woke up to find Ashley at the edge of the bed staring down at the floor. As she stretched up Ashley turned to see her stir, her smile wide,
"Hey,"
"Are you ok?"
"Perfect," her thoughts flashing back to last night. A wicked grin appearing as the blonde motioned towards her.
Spencer had crawled up to her and was now kneeling behind her, placing kisses on the brunette's neck, shoulder and back, "Yea?"
"Mhm, you need to stop doing that Spence," she let out a breathy sigh.
"Why?"
"Because its morning, we're at your house and as much as your parents like me I'd rather not have them hear us while w—,"
"Us? As I recall," her smile was sly as her hands reached down and slipped under Ashley's tank top, "you, were the one making all the noise last night."
"Oh, so you're boss now huh?"
"Yes," she responded without hesitation, "and that means you have to do whatever I say," she said finally sitting beside the brunette.
Ashley thought Spencer to be pretty cute when she was being 'bossy' so indulging her wasn't an issue, she smiled her thousand watt smile and responded, "Ok, so what would you like me to do?"
Spencer shuffled closer to the brunette and rested her head on Ashley's shoulder taking the girl's hand in her own, "Stay,"
"What do you mean?"
"I want us to stay like this, forever if it's possible…together," Spencer had never felt anything remotely close for anyone what she felt for the girl who was now sitting beside her, it had been while she was sick that she kept having recurring nightmare's about Ashley being gone and it had broken her indescribably. Spencer was convinced then that she couldn't be without the brunette.
"Forever huh," her voice sounding as though she was taking all this in, "Are you sure?"
Spencer used her index to turn Ashley's face towards her, staring at her intently she spoke,
"I've never been more, sure about anything else in my life Ashley, not even things that have been right before me. When we weren't speaking, there was an undeniable ache in my chest that just wouldn't go away until you came back. I love you so much it scares me," her smile widened as she chuckled, "I've been chasing you around since the first time we met remember?"
"And this is what you want…" her eyes watching Spencer's lips as they moved.
"Yes."
By this time Ashley's eyes had welled with tears that had only just now started to fall. Spencer's admonition had her weak. She still couldn't come to grips with the fact that she was being loved simply out of pure want and not obligation. She was eighteen and she felt like she had lived a thousand years and loved a thousand times, she knew that what she and Spencer had, most people wouldn't achieve in a lifetime. As the tears continued to flow warm hands had reached her cheeks wiping away the wetness.
"Don't cry. I loved you first, remember?"
A soft chuckle escaped the girl, followed by a nod. "Forever it is," she smiled.
"Good."
"Spence?"
"Hmnh?"
"There's something I have to tell you," her tone scared
"What is it?"
"Remember when you wanted to know what me and Aiden were discussing?"
"Yea…"
"Well, I'd given him a recorder o get a confession out of Anisa so we could take up the matter legally,"
There was silence in the room.
"Ash…"
"Before you go any further, I know you wouldn't have wanted to deal with that so I was going to have my mom and your dad help me settle it out of court. Aiden called me last night…he got the confession."
"Ashley," she sounded tired.
"Spencer I couldn't just let her get away with what she did to you, and it was my own fault, I wanted to fix this. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier." Her eyes had dropped back to the floor.
"Ashley, you don't have to do that,"
"I need to. I need to know that I can protect you."
"You can't all the time,"
"Spencer, please." She could see the hurt and Ashley's eyes and felt how much it meant to her. She brought the brunettes eyes back up to her own so she had a clear view, a if she was trying to read through to her soul, know what she was thinking. Spencer pulled Ashley's face closer to her in the gentlest way and kissed her. They stayed like that for a moment, lips connected, hearts as one, stilling their movements their lips moved against each other in unison. Ashley countered every sweep, tug, nip and pull as she knew what Spencer was trying to convey, how she wanted to kiss her and be kissed. They pulled apart only slightly, staring into each other's eyes,
"Promise me you'll be careful."
The brunette's smile was uncontained, "I promise," placing a chaste kiss on Spencer's lips.
"Now that that's all clear, breakfast?"
Ashley laughed.
"You read my mind."
