Spencer knocked vigorously on Ashley's hotel room door. Ashley looked through her peep hole, then let Spencer in.

"Back so soon?" Ashley asked before looking at Spencer's face.

Spencer was white as a ghost. She didn't say anything just went and laid down on the hotel room bed. She let out a huge sigh.

Ashley came to sit down next to Spencer, "What is it Spencer?" she asked.

Spencer turned herself over so her stomach was on the bed, and her face in the covers before she started to cry. Ashley wasn't sure what to do, so she rubbed Spencer's back letting Spencer know that she was there if needed.

Spencer took a deep breath, "Okay," she said turning her body towards Ashley, "I'm ready to tell you what happened," she took a dramatic pause, "Jake is cheating on me! I mean I know we didn't have any spark, and I should have seen it coming. But he did it while I was supposedly at the store, shopping for his going away dinner. I find them in our bed!" Spencer shuddered, "I can't blame him for wanting excitement. I just don't know where to go from here."

"Why are you looking at me for relationship advice? I've never had a relationship last as long as your marriage has."

"What do you think I should do?" Spencer pleaded.

"I say divorce the guy. He's being unfaithful. Kick him to the curb. Stay close geographically so you can share Parker. I can see you aren't happy with him. You told me so even before you found out he was cheating. Let Jake do what he wants. Do what you want. You both deserve to be happy."

Spencer forced a weak smile. That was exactly what she wanted to hear, "You know what I want?" she sniffed, "I want to get into your hotel's pool, hot tub and sauna."

Ashley smiled, "Great. Then lets go."

They changed into their suits. Ashley wrapped the towel around herself, and gave Spencer the bath robe. They walked barefoot all the way down to the pool area.

"Lets go into the pool first," Ashley suggested. It was ridden with kids, so they didn't swim very long. They did a few laps before getting in the hot tub, then went back into the pool to cool down.

They finally hit the sauna and where the only ones in there, so they had a chance to talk.

Spencer decided to say something bold, "Ashley, I was thinking about what you said. About being happy and doing what I want. For as long as I remember, I've always been the good girl. I've always done whats expected of me. Good grades, college, marriage, in wardrobe. In the process, I lost the real me. I was afraid to be me," she paused, "But I'm tired of being afraid. I've just got to do what I feel is right," she looked directly into Ashley's eyes.

Ashley understood what she meant and shuddered as a result.

Their lips gravitated to each other, then finally touched. Spencer felt like she should pull back, and almost did, but she didn't. She and Ashley made out, hot and heavy in the sauna.

"Lets go back to your room," Spencer suggested breathlessly.

They tried to hold in their urges as they practically ran down the hall to the elevator. They continued their make-out session in the privacy of the elevator as it went up. The door opened, and they tumbled out, still kissing. Spencer tugged at the right shoulder strap of Ashley's swim suit as Ashley fumbled to get the door open. This was the passion Spencer had been missing. It was as if Ashley completed her. Ashley knew exactly how to make her feel good and safe. They had sex, then fell asleep in each other's arms.

Ashley woke up before Spencer. She just laid looking at her.

Spencer stirred, "Hey," Spencer smiled. She stretched a little.

"Hi," Ashley returned the smile, "want some coffee?"

"No," Spencer replied simply, "Stay here," she closed her eyes again.

"Spencer?" Ashley said.

"Yeah?" Spencer replied, not opening her eyes.

"I love you. I always have."

"I love you too Ashley," she paused, "Ash?"

"Yeah?"

"You where the one who made me question my sexuality all those years ago. I've been attracted to you almost as long as I've known you. I always cursed not kissing you that night. It would have changed everything."

"I thought I pulled away from you. It wouldn't have been right that way. I wanted it to be special, like it was, but after that situation, I didn't know how to talk to you. I felt guilty for being attracted to you as you where still discovering yourself. I was like your guide out of the closet, and I didn't want to have a conflict of interest."

"With that action, you closed the proverbial closet door on my toe. I wish you would have gone for it."

"I do too. I wish we hadn't fallen out after that."

"Ash, I don't want to talk about the past."

"You're right. I'm getting in the shower. Wanna come?"
Spencer went with what she really wanted and said "Yes."
