Spencer stretched gingerly for the remote to turn off the television, trying not to disturb the girl who had fallen asleep with her head resting gently against her shoulder. Turning her head slightly, she looked down at the mass of curls and smiled faintly. A chill went up her spine as Ashley began to breathe out of her mouth, the heat blowing across her arm. Goosebumps raised quickly all along her body, and she just sat there, torn between stopping the igniting fire in the pit of her stomach by getting up or just…
Ashley dropped her head to the blonde's shoulder in a way that Spencer could only describe as defeated. She was sure Ashley wasn't used to being denied something as simple as a kiss. Though it wasn't really something so simple to Spencer, she realized as she wrapped her arms around the brunette, holding her close.
"I'm sorry, Ash." Her voice was soft, just above a whisper, and she cursed herself at how it trembled.
She felt Ashley nod against her neck, a warm sigh breezing over her skin. She bit her bottom lip and grasped for all of her strength to pull away from the girl in her arms.
Brown met blue, Spencer searching for something or anything, until all she could do was slip away to the side and slowly make her way to the middle of the room where she soon grew cold. She felt Ashley's eyes boring into her. It didn't help her goose bumps in the slightest. She spun around, forcing a bright smile at the other girl.
"Let's watch a movie."
"Ashley?" She whispered right next to the brunette's face. Spencer reached over to move a lock of hair out of Ashley's closed eyes, tucking it behind her ear. She stirred, a tiny whimper coming from her throat.
"Ash, it's late…"
"Mmmpphh."
Spencer just smiled and slowly moved off the bed, letting Ashley's head fall onto her pillows, a strangled noise coming from the girl as her body position changed rapidly. The blonde began rummaging around her drawers, pulling out clothes and tossing them to Ashley, who was now watching from her spot on the bed. Spencer cocked her head to the side at the look Ashley was giving her. The blonde smiled shyly, which grew into a grin as it was returned. She leaned against her bureau as she took Ashley in completely. Her eyes traveling over the girl much in the same way she had done after their excursion to the beach.
"So…You're not gonna change?"
"You're not gonna help me?" Spencer dropped her jaw for a moment before smirking, shaking her head at how corrupted Ashley could be.
"You wish." Spencer rolled her eyes at Ashley, barely controlling her rapidly spreading blush, and began to change.
Ashley stood, holding the clothes given to her. She brushed past Spencer slowly, locking their eyes for a moment; all smiles void from her face as her voice reached a new tone she had never heard before. "I think we both do."
