Chapter 38
Ashley makes it back to Spencer's room after her talk with Aiden and her second confrontation with Dr. Taylor. "So Ashley what happened with Dr. Taylor?"
Ashley scowls at the mere mention of Dr. Taylor's name. "I fired her Spence."
"Fired her? Is that why you were both yelling at each other?"
"What?" "I heard you through the wall. Remember we are next door to each other."
"Oh, yeah. I didn't realize we had gotten that loud."
"So she denied having an attraction to me?"
"Yeah, she was good at denying the truth. I had to play a little mind game with her, to get her to admit she was attracted to you. I asked her why was she in your room when I wasn't in there? Why was she holding your hand? Why was she up in your face? She said she was trying to help our relationship. Than she tried to turn it around by making me think I was attracted to her instead of her being attracted to you. Shit Spence, she was supposed to be helping me, not trying to get with you. If I hadn't come in when I did she would have kissed you."
"But I wouldn't have let her do that Ash."
"Spencer it wasn't what you wouldn't let her do. I was scared of what she would force you to do. Do you understand?"
"No I don't. Ashley don't you trust me?"
"Spencer, sweetheart I trust you completely. It's the other people I don't trust. Spencer we have been through so much together. I mean beginning with your accident, your split from Carmen, to her eventual death to my dealings with Alex and my accident. I was not going to let another psychotic person come into our lives. I found out she's Alex's cousin."
"How do you know that Ashley?"
"Mr. Van Der Meir told me. The hospital was paying for the therapy I was receiving and he asked me how my therapy was going with her. I couldn't believe it. Out of all the psychiatrists in this city I had to get hooked up with someone who was a Van Der Meir."
"But her last name is Taylor," Spencer said questioning.
"Taylor is her married name. She and her husband are divorced but she kept his last name for professional reasons."
"You think she talked to Alex about us?"
"Yes I do. How much she told her I'm not sure. She claims she did not discuss my case with Alex. She said she simply told Alex she was wasting her time trying to break you and me apart. But somewhere along the way she started falling in love with you herself."
Ashley walked over to the window looking out, quietly watching the leaves sway back and forth on the trees. "The wind has picked up a little. I guess a storm must be headed this way."
"Ashley what's wrong? Is there something else you're not telling me?" Ashley turns nodding her head.
"She was fucking Aiden."
"Huh! Wait! Ashley I'm confused, Dr. Taylor had a husband at one time.
"Yes."
"And she's now having an affair with Aiden."
"Yes."
"So where did her infatuation for me come from? She's obviously not into women. But that wasn't our imagination either, she was attracted to me. Why would she use Aiden like that? Mess with our feelings like that."
"She didn't know where or when her infatuation for you started. She just knew she had an overwhelming attraction to you and didn't know how to stop it or what to do about it. So when Aiden asked her out and they ended up in bed, she thought that would help her stop thinking about you. She felt having sex with him would extinguish her attraction to you but it didn't. She used him to try to forget about you. But her attraction for you grew and Aiden's love for Dr. Taylor escalated. Aiden had fallen in love with her."
"Why didn't she just stop sleeping with him? Especially when she realized he was falling in love with her and she was not going to reciprocate his feelings."
"I don't know Spencer, she didn't say and Aiden is mad at me. He won't even talk to me."
"Ash I'm sorry. I'm sure as soon as he rationalizes the implications of the situation he will see that it was no fault of yours and he'll come around. You two have been friends too long to let some affair break you up."
"I don't know Spencer. His heart is broken. I warned him to be careful of her because she was attracted to you, but he would listen to me. He just blew me off. Then when he found out I had fired her. He practically jumped on me wanting to know why. So since Dr. Taylor was there in his office I let her explain to Aiden why I had to fire her. I didn't think he would like what I had to say. When she finished her confession to him about her feelings for you he just stood there glaring at both of us. His pride was hurting. He told her he gave her his heart and she just stomped on it. Spencer I saw tears in his eyes. The last time I saw that was when he told me I would never be able to operate again. I feel really bad for him."
"It'll be alright Ash. His heart will mend," Spencer said as she rubbed Ashley's back trying to comfort her.
"Spencer what was I supposed to do. She was interfering in our relationship and using Aiden. I just couldn't keep quiet. I had to at least protect you."
"I know Ash and I love you for it. Come closer to me and let me hold you. It's going to be alright. Dr. Dennison will survive and I'm sure Dr. Taylor feels bad for the lives she has disrupted with her deception."
"Spencer your heart is so good. You see the good in everything. That's why I love you so much."
"I don't know about all that but I see the good in you. That's what made me fall in love with you. There is no one for me but you."
"Mmm, yeah and you're the only one for me Spence," Ashley said as she stretched out next to Spencer's warm body, yawning. "Man, I didn't realize how tired I've become."
"Yes, you've been quite busy today, the confrontation with Dr. Taylor and Aiden and your visit with Mr.Van Der Meir. So tell me what did Mr. Van Der Meir have to say. That is if you're not too tired to talk."
"He's going to renegotiate my contract with the hospital. They want me to come back to work as an attending with the surgical department."
"An attending, what does an attending do?"
"I will be instructing all incoming surgical residents in the various techniques of surgery. I won't be doing any surgeries myself. I'll be teaching them so they can perform surgery on various patients."
"Ashley that's wonderful. See how much confidence other people have in your abilities, even when you're not doing the actual surgery yourself. I'm glad for you."
"Mr. Van Der Meir also said we won't be bothered with Alex." "Why is that?"
"She had a nervous breakdown so they sent her away."
"A nervous breakdown. Did he say why she had a breakdown?"
"The police were going to arrest her as an accomplice with Carmen for her attack on you. That means if they found her guilty she was going to go to jail, prison."
"Why would that make her have a nervous breakdown?"
"Hell, the woman lived a pampered life. Do you honestly think she would be able to survive in prison wearing those prison jumpers, being made to work in the laundry room or kitchen cutting potatoes and don't forget about the 'Bad Girls'."
"'Bad Girls'… Ashley, what the hell are you talking about?"
"You know Spencer… the women who control the cell block and get all the hotties. The guards and the warden even have sex with them."
"Oh my God Ashley, tell me you did not just go there. I know you did not watch those women prison shows?"
"Hell yeah, some of those women were hot!"

Several weeks later…
Spencer is in Ashley's room helping her pack. "So when are you being discharged Ash?"
"Tomorrow afternoon Spence."
"Dr. Dennison still hasn't changed his mind about you staying with me during the night."
"No he hasn't. I think he's still angry with me. He hasn't said anything to me for two weeks. He sees me in the hallway, nods and walks on. The only time he does say anything to me is when he has to discuss something about my therapy. Don't worry Spence I'll figure something out. I have to," Ashley said as she slumped on her bed looking at Spencer. "I can't be without you Spence. Did they say how soon you would be getting out? You're moving around pretty good with your braces on and using your crutches."
"Yeah I'm able to take longer walks with the braces on but it will still be another month at least before Dr. Dennison releases me from here," Spencer sadly said.
"Why so long? Maybe you can go back and forth like me," Ashley said.
"I asked Dr. Dennison if I could do that but he said I needed to be here because I receive two kinds of therapy. Sorry Ash. So when are you going to see Mr. Van Der Meir?"
"I may go and see him in a day or two after I get out of here, just to sign my contract. But I won't start working until I get my release to work papers. Sean said something about my next two therapy sessions will determine when I can go to back to work. Aiden will make his decision then. Spence I'm going to leave the Center for a few hours to go with your father to our apartment tomorrow so he can check the place out and see what needs to be done before you move in."
"Our apartment. That has a nice sound to it Ash. Did he say anything about my mom?"
"Nope!" "Hmm, she must be sulking," Spencer said.
"Spencer don't worry about your mom, your dad will take care of her. You need to concern yourself with you and getting better. If Aiden sees the improvements you're making, maybe he'll release you early. But if he doesn't I'll be here during the day and try to stay as late as I can, since I'm not going to be working yet."
"That would be great if you could Ashley."
Staring at Spencer, while watching her fold her clothes for packing, Ashley walks over to Spencer taking the clothes she was folding out of her hands. "Ashley I was folding that."
"Spencer," Ashley softly said caressing her cheek. "I want to make love to you… here, now."
"Ash it's three o'clock in the afternoon, someone might come in."
"No they won't I locked the door when you came in." Ashley lifted Spencer out of her wheelchair and placed her on the bed hungrily pressing her lips to Spencer's. Tracing her jawline with a finger Ashley looked deeply into Spencer's eyes. "I love you Spence," she said as she moved her lips to Spencer's neck nuzzling her skin, sucking and licking with her tongue than biting down, hard enough to make the blonde gasp.
Ashley moves on top of Spencer placing her legs in between Spencer's thighs spreading them apart, while placing wet kisses along her neck and cheek. She raises her body up slightly to unbutton Spencer's shirt, her hands cupped and rubbed the blonde's breasts through the thin material of her lace bra. Wanting to feel more she pulls away from Spencer, sitting between her legs she pulls Spencer's shirt down pass her shoulders and off, than she unclasped her bra exposing the skin of her already erect nipples. "So beautiful," Ashley whispers as she leans down placing her mouth on one nipple sucking it, flicking it with her tongue, while her good hand caressed the other breast rolling the sensitive nipple between her fingers.
"Ashley…" Spencer gasped. "That feels so good." While Ashley continued to suck on Spencer's breast, Spencer unbuttons Ashley's pants pulling the zipper down. She wanted to feel Ashley, feel her wetness. "I want to touch you Ashley." Ashley momentarily stops her attack on Spencer's breast. She gets up to pull her shirt off and take her pants and panties off to make it easily accessible for Spencer. She also pulls Spencer's pants and panties off. She wanted to feel skin against skin.
Both now naked, Ashley laid back down on top of Spencer, hungrily taking Spencer's mouth in hers, exploring the sensitive places inside her mouth with wanton lust, tongues wrestling, their breaths jagged with excitement, fingers running up and down each other's body. Spencer pulled Ashley's leg over hers spreading them, stroking her thighs with one hand while caressing and squeezing Ashley's ass with the other, she finally moves her hand between their pressed bodies, finding what she was craving, Ashley's wetness.
"So wet," Spencer breathes into Ashley's ear, sucking hard on her earlobe, bringing forth a gasp from Ashley. Spencer immediately slips two fingers inside Ashley slowly, sliding them in and out, relishing in the feel of Ashley's arousal.
"Spencer… please… fuck me," Ashley begged.
Spencer pulls out her fingers that were now coated with Ashley's essence, making Ashley whimper with the lost. "Spencer… fuck, don't stop," she groaned.
Spencer wanted to play with Ashley, to tease her, to prolong her release for just a little bit. Using the wetness already coated on her fingers she rubbed small circles around her lover's clit, making her wetter, eliciting more moans from her brown-haired lover, "Spencer… please." Hearing her pleads, Spencer massages her lover's slit up and down harder, while stroking the sensitive organ with her thumb, Ashley's hips jerked at every touch. The more Ashley's hips jerked the more excited Spencer got, feeling her own wetness building. Rubbing her clit more vigorously, she slid her two fingers back into Ashley's wet center. A moan escapes Ashley's mouth… "Spencer."
Spencer slides a third finger inside Ashley's wet center, thrusting in and out faster, finally curling her fingers up, finding the sweet spot that would take Ashley to that euphoric state of ecstasy. She feels her walls contracting around her fingers, her body trembling, moist with sweat above her. Spencer listened and felt Ashley began to lose control, which made her own body tremble in response.
"Oh shit, Spencer… fuck… don't stop, ahh!
Nuzzling Spencer's neck Ashley bites down hard while reaching her climax.
"Ashley," Spencer cries.
Ashley collapses on top of Spencer, her breath labored, her body still trembling and moist with sweat from Spencer's ministrations. "Ashley I love you," she said, looking into her darken eyes.
"Mmm, Spencer I love you too, she said still breathless, you drive me insane."
Click, Click, Click…Knock… Knock.
"Ashley I know you're in there, unlock the door please."
"Who is it?" Ashley yells.
"It's Aiden, I need to talk to you."
"Fuck," Ashley hissed.
