Well there's only one more little short one left after this. Come on guys, I think you can do better than one review. This story is going to be over...for probably ever. Plus this has some serious Spashley fluff right here, and sexy times.
REVIEWER (Come on, we can do better than one, right? Parting gift? Maybe? Pwwease? -Begging, but who cares. I've lost my dignity to the good feeling of a reading a good review. So blah, review addict.)
BreakYourHeart: Yep, It'd kill mah story, lady. As much as I'd like to, I can't...because then that would screw up the enter plot line...or Alex is magical and can time travel. Or she wiped their memories. You know, with magic. No problem. Thanks for reviewing loyally, lovely person.

Life Decisions
One year later
Alex's POV
"Alright, alright, I've decided." I say as we all relax in Lucy's room. It's currently Spring Break. This past year has been amazing with them. They're the best friends I could ask for. "I want to go to UCLA and take their study abroad program." Bridget, Wiley and Lucy all grin at me and at each other and smother me with hugs.
"So happy for you, Coop." Lucy grins.
"Nice choice, Al. Welcome." Carmen appears out from the hallway and winks. And before you think it, no, Carmen and I are just friends. She's my shoulder to lean on, but unfortunately that shoulder is going to be abroad on her own adventure. She needed to get away from LA so she's packed her bags for Spain.
I chuckle, "Thanks guys. So Luce, you still up for accompanying me to Ireland?"
"Fuck yeah. I love me some Lepochauns and lucky charms. And the Irish aren't too bad either." She winks at me and I roll my eyes.
"Yes, yes, I'm a quarter Irish, blah blah." Everyone laughs. "Still finalizing those plans on the music store, Wiles?" Wiley wants to skip college, not like she needs it, trust fund baby. She just wants to own a music store. I thought that came out of nowhere, I mean I pictured her more of a car garage sort of thing, but hey, to each their own. Lucy is a co-owner but we're leaving it in her hands while we go to Ireland for a semester.
"Nah, closed on it today. Allll ours." She grins and Lucy high fives her.
"So, Bridge on the subject of future…did you take that offer from Brown's soccer team?" I question. It's been the major strain on Wiley and Bridget's relationship for the past few months. Neither one wants to leave the other and be across the country but Wiles wanted Bridget to do what made her happy.
"Nope, I'm staying here with my girls." Most of us look at her shocked. Wiley's face lights up in a 1000 watt smile. "UCLA is great plus, I could always walk on if I choose to." She shrugs like it's nothing. "Plus I could always just mooch off this one." She nudges Wiles who puts her arm around her, still grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"Hey…you'd have to repay me in sexual favors…" She growls out and kisses Bridgets neck. They begin to start one of their make out sessions but I've come prepared. I grab the super soaker out of Luce's bathroom and spray them.
"Down, doggies down!" I continue to soak them and Bridget shrieks and Wiles jumps back shocked. They both glare at me as Carmen and Lucy are hysterically laughing.
"Cooper…you are so dead." Wiley growls. Shit.
I take off running and they both tackle me to the ground. Bridget on top of me and holding me down. "Well this looks familiar," I mumble so only they can hear. They both look at each other and giggle. Life is good right now.
6 hours away at the Davies Mansion
Ashley's POV
God, I'm nervous. Not about college though. Spencer and I finalized our plans to go to UCLA in the fall, despite me not really enjoying school. What can I say? Certain people rubbed off on me. We're so happy to be together. I love her, so much. But tonight, I've got something special planned for our date.
I pull up to the Carlin house and wave at Paula who happens to be by the window. She motions for me to come in. I park my baby in their driveway and walk up to the door. Paula smiles and pulls me in for a hug.
"Hey Mrs. C. How's it goin'?"
"Oh psh, you know you can call me Paula, Ashley."
"Nah, I'm good with Mrs. C." I wipe my sweaty palms on my jeans.
"So…tonight's the night?" She grins excitedly.
"Yeah, tonight." I take a deep breath. "Thank you…you know for approving."
She smiles, "Ash…you two have been together for almost two years now. I've never seen her happier. Of course, I approve. Just sad I won't be seeing her around as much." A hint of sadness touches her voice. You know the kind that parents get when they're like 'my baby is allll grown up.' Yeah, that would be Paula.
"Don't worry, we can have some family dinners. There's no way I'd miss out on Mr. C's cooking and your company." I grin and sit on the couch waiting for Spencer.
"That'd be great, Ash." She's tearing up a bit.
"Mom? Seriously…we're not leaving for another few months…" Spencer pleads as she walks down the stairs. "No crying, please?"
"Sorry, sorry. Just you two are growing up so fast." She sniffles and pulls us both in for a hug. Spencer looks at me curiously and I just shrug.
"Alright, Mrs. C, we've got plans, so I'll get her home safe as usual." I hug her goodbye.
"Spencer…why don't you sleepover at Ashleys, I'm sure she has some stuff over there for you." Spencer looks between us shocked and I can't say I'm not surprised either. "Plus, it's not like she can get you pregnant." Spencer groans.
"Mooooom."
I just chuckle, "Alright, Mrs. C. We'll call you in the morning then." She nods and shoos us off.
"Well, that was weird." Spencer comments as we get in my car.
I shrug, "Maybe she's just acknowledging that you're an adult now."
"Maybe…" She looks at me suspiciously.
I pull up to the house. I got Arden and Kyla to set up and go out while I was gone. We enter the house to find it illuminated with candles. My guitar is placed by the dining room table with some chicken marsala waiting on the table. Spencer looks at me and grins, "You never cease to amaze me, Ashley Davies." Her lips meet mine in a tender kiss.
"I hope I never do." I wink and pull her chair out for her. We fall into easy conversation and flirting while eating.
"Wow, Ash. That was great. Thank you." She says in that stuffed voice she gets after a good meal. It's pretty adorable.
I smile, "The night's not over yet, love." She looks at me curiously and I pick up my guitar.
"Ash…not anooottherrr songgg." She whines. I know she's playing because she loves my spontaneous songs for her. "You spoil me."
"Of course, love. What good is all this talent, sex appeal, and money if I can't use it to spoil you?" I wink and strum my guitar starting to sing. She relaxes into the couch and watches me.
Photograph,
Remembering the summer
it takes me back,
to Southern California.
where the girls would all pass
on the boardwalk and laugh
at our desperate attempts
and our sunburned backs
we never had a chance,
I remember that
and no matter what we do,
we'll never lose what we had
growing up
Won't bring us down.
Yeah, growing up,
it won't bring us down,
Growing up won't bring us down
Growing up won't bring us down
Graduate,
What's a kid to do now?
Get away, (yeah-ah)
We've got so much to prove.
Cause it's time to move on
and I start to let go
but then "Wonderwall" comes on the radio.
I flash back to the night
in your parent's yard,
where we drank too much
and we talked about God
Growing up,
won't bring us down.
Growing up,
it won't bring us down.
We're in this together,
Yeah, we'll make it somehow,
Nothing's gonna stop us now...
Growing up won't bring us down
Growing up won't bring us down
Growing up won't bring us down
Oh-oh-oh
Photograph,
Oh give me something to remember
Growing up,
won't bring us down.
Growing up,
it won't bring us down.
We're in this together,
Yeah, we'll make it somehow,
Nothing's gonna stop us now...
Growing up won't bring us down
Growing up won't bring us down
(won't bring us down)
Growing up won't bring us down
(won't bring us down)
Growing up won't bring us...down.
I finish my song and grin, pulling a box out of my pocket. Spencer's eyes widen. "So, we're growing up and I hope that if you agree we can grow up together, in this house." I open the box and a key shimmers inside it. Spencer gasps and smiles, nodding enthusiastically.
"Yes! Yes, I'll move in with you." She practically knocks me over, throwing her arms around my neck and pulling me into a passionate lip lock. After a bit, I have to pull away to set the guitar down. "So this is why my mother was being weird. She was in on it. Ashhh." She whines a bit. That's kind of adorable and it brings a grin to my face.
"Hey, I had to ask permission and she got all sappy on me." I chuckle and take her hand in mine, leading her upstairs. "Well, Spencer…we've got some celebrating to do." I purr into her ear as we reach my bedroom.
"I'm all yours, Ash." I pull her into my bedroom and shut the door. As I turn around I see Spencer, sitting on my bed watching me. One word. Hot. She beckons me closer with her finger. Once I get close enough she pulls me down by the collar of my shirt and our lips meet in a passionate kiss. She's trying to bring Dom Spencer out and as awesome as she is, tonight is about us, together, equally. I lay her back onto my bed and she crawls up towards the head board. I hover over her, reclaiming her lips. My tongue asks for entrance and it's quickly granted. Our tongues prod and slide against each other in a heated match for dominance. She bites down on my lower lip and it drives me wild. I sit up on her hips and pull my shirt over my head. Her fingers rake down my abs and I shiver. I lean down and kiss her neck softly, slowing down the pace to enjoy every second. She runs her fingers down my sides and allows my leg to position itself between hers and press against her. She lets out little mewls and groans as I press into her clothed core. My hands slide under her shirt and remove it completely as well as unclasp her bra. She slowly removes it and I'm met with the sight of her beautiful breasts. I lean down and take a nipple into my mouth and she gasps, her hand tangling itself in my hair, pulling me closer. I lick and kiss her breasts, flicking her nipples with my tongue. She's moaning above me and it only spurrs me on. I reach down to unzip her skirt and she reaches down too, to unfasten my jeans. "Together," she whispers in my ear. I nod and smile softly. We both help each other out of our remaining clothes and lay back down on our sides. I slide a hand down her abs to her mound and she does the same to me. I rub her gently and circle her clit as she mimics my actions. We both moan out and look into each others eyes as we enter each other with two fingers and gasp. I lean in and claim her lips in a kiss as we rock back and forth, our hands bucking into each other as well as our hips. We both moan into the kiss. God, she's so wet and tight and I know I'm dripping for her. We continue on, pushing deeper and harder. I feel myself approaching quickly as I feel her clench around my fingers. A few more hard strokes and we both come undone, crying out each other's names. Once we've calmed down from our climaxes I pull her close and she snuggles into me. I grin, Spencer's moving in with me. How lucky am I?
