Lazy bastard.

Glen wasn't answering the door when he was sitting right there. Instead he flipped through any sports channel he could find, while loafing around on the couch. Spencer grumbled as she made her way away from the kitchen and her sandwich to the front door. She had no time to recover when she opened the door to find the brunette standing on her doorstep.

"Ashley!" Spencer's blue eyes were wide

"Well, you still know my name at least." Her voice was gentle, causing Spencer to blush out of embarrassment, while cocking her head to side at Ashley's words.

The blonde stepped aside, a silent invitation inside the house. Spencer could feel Ashley's eyes glued to her. She turned a new shade of pink as she forced herself to drown in chocolate brown. They stood like that in the hall for several moments, the only sounds being their breathing and a sports announcer filtering in from the television.

Spencer took a step towards Ashley, mouth opening, just hoping that she could get the girl to understand.

Glen's head peaked around the corner, looking genuinely interested until his eyes fell on Ashley. "Hey! Who was it at th- Oh. It's just you."

For a second it appeared as though he would retreat back into the living room, but he just leaned against the wall, arms crossed on his chest. "So what happened at your house?"

"Glen, shut up. It's not your business."

"You're my sister. You message me to pick you up at her house, and when I do, you jump into the car like something's chasing you. I think it is my business."

Spencer shook her head and glanced over at Ashley, waiting for her to start comparing her brother to the jockstrap he wears. The blonde was shocked to see Ashley just standing there. She reached out, taking her hand in her own and began to make her way up the stairs.

"Whatever. But don't say I never have your back!" Glen's words made Spencer smile faintly. Sometimes she wouldn't trade her ass of a brother for the entire world.

The door clicked shut softly as Spencer leaned back on it, watching Ashley stand in the middle of her room.

"Are you okay?"

A small smile curved on Ashley's face. "Shouldn't I be asking you that?"

The very same smile from the other night. Spencer felt her stomach flip over a few times and forced herself to swallow past the lump that suddenly appeared there.

If she closed her eyes, she could still see Ashley moving closer to her, her perfume so light but weighing down with something completely her. She could feel the dress on her, shifting against her skin as the brunette leaned closer on the bed. She could still feel Ashley's breath.

She was in another world, but she couldn't taste it yet. Her tongue peeked out and slowly moistened her lips, her breathing coming out of her mouth now.

Fingertips on her bare arm snapped her out of it. Blue struggled to focus on brown, to come out of the heavy fog she had found herself in.

"I'm so sorry about the other night, Spence. So sorry. I didn't want it to be like that." Her fingers slid down the blonde's skin as she spoke, leaving a trail of goose bumps that Spencer was forced to notice, slowly lacing their fingers together at the end.

She was finding it hard to concentrate on what Ashley was saying. Hell, she could barely keep her breathing normal, trying to ignore what felt like the biggest rollercoaster drop of her life. She just tried as hard as she could to listen to the girl in front of her continue on.

"When I was with you, I didn't even remember Aiden was there. It was just us, Spence. I nev-"

"I wanted you to kiss me, Ash." Spencer shocked herself with the change in her own voice. Deeper, more raw. She also saw Ashley's features brighten after a moment. "But I couldn't do it. Not there, and not like it was."

Ashley nodded, pausing before moving a little closer. Spencer's eyes moved from Ashley's down to her lip gloss covered mouth, her neck, and then back up. She was getting closer, tilting her head. "What about now, Spence?" It was barely a whisper, but it shook Spencer to her core. She tightened her fingers on Ashley's before opening her mouth.

"Not yet."
