She locked eyes with me. Trapped me in those amazing chocolate orbs. She looked like she was about to cry. Surly enough, a fat tear made it's way down her face. I raised my hand to her face and wiped it away with my thumb. I cupped her face with both my hands. My heart sped up. She's starting to scare me. But this was nothing compared to what was going to happen later that night. Wish I knew..

"Talk to me Ash, please?" she was full out crying now. Out of nowhere she pulled me to her sobbing form. I could feel her tears soak through the fabric on my shoulder.

"I love you Spence, and that scares the hell out of me." she sniffed.

"Why are you scared?" I love you too..

" I didn't want to scare you away, I've never felt this way about anyone and I don't know Spence. I don't want my emotions to freak you out. And if I lose you..I don't know what I'm gonna do. I don't want the life I had before you. I really don't. And that's where I'll end up without you Spence. You keep me grounded."

" Well Ash..you really don't have anything to be scared about..." She looked at me like I grew a second head.

"I love you too..with every beat of my heart." I whispered, pressing her hand over my heart.

"Really...?" she asked, a smile spreading on her face.

"Really." I wanted to kiss her so bad. I could feel the electricity surging between us. Thank god that girl can read minds. She leaned in, pushing a lose strand of hair behind my ear and pulled me to her. I felt her warm breath on my lips and it was like we were inhaling each other. I knew I loved her before, but now I knew I could never lose this brown eyed beauty an inch from my face. I couldn't take it any longer, I pressed my lips against hers.

She was so warm, hot. I wanted all of her. She was so soft. Her whole face was smooth. Unlike any one I've ever kissed before. She was amazing. It was cut short waay too soon when she pulled back, looking me straight in the eyes. Blue locked with brown, and it seemed like it was just us. In our own safe little world. Where it didn't matter what you were or who you loved. It was just us. Spencer and Ashley..in a perfect world. She spoke first.

"You ok?" she whispered.

"Perfect. Just a little lightheaded." I answered honestly. A confused look sprang to her beautiful features. "You take my breath away.." I cleared up.

"Wow Spence...and I thought I was corny."

"You are.." I brought her close to me and whispered in her ear. "But that's why I love you."

After the whole "romantic park scene" Ash drove us back to her house. We were going to just spend some time talking and what-not but something wasn't right. It seemed awkward. Whenever we'd catch the other looking we'd both turn away blush like crazy and apologize. So Ash put some chic-flick on. I think it was 'Just Like Heaven' but I really don't know. We both relaxed a little, well, enough to position our selves with her leaning against the headboard and my head in her lap. We were both sort of sprawled out on her bed, just smiling at each other. The noise from the movie seemingly enough to let us enjoy the girl we were starring at. After a few minutes of silence she raised her hand to my face and pushed back a lock of hair that had come out of place.

"I love you." she whispered. Suddenly serious. It was kinda weird, we havent said those three words out loud yet. They were always whispered. Almost as if they were too precious, like they were ours and ours alone. I sat up, nuzzling my face into her neck.

"I love you too.." I felt the goose bumps spread on her arms and she tensed. She went rigid and jumped up rambling like if she stopped talking she was gonna explode.

"I think we should start getting ready for bed don't you? I mean tomorrows a s school day and if your mom finds out you've been ditching again and with me of all people she'll never let me see you again and then-"

"ASHLEY!" she stopped. "First of all, tomorrow's Saturday. Second, my dad already know where I am, so calm down." I went to her. Kissing her lightly. She ran her tongue over my bottom lip, asking for entrance. Which I willingly gave. As I parted my lips I felt her slide into my mouth. She was hot, the passion in this kiss was nothing compared to the earlier one. I took the dominant part and slid my own tongue into her mouth. She tasted like caramel coffee from our earlier trip to Starbucks. I was floating away and she kept me grounded.

She pulled away, sighing heavily. She went to sit on her bed hands in her lap head down. Facing away from me. After about a minute of pure silence she started.

"I'm scared Spence, I know we have everything out in the open but.." she was interupted by the loud ring that came from my cell that was sitting on her night stand. I sighed loudly, showing my irritation.

"Continue." I said.

"It's ok just answer it, we have forever to talk about this." she replied calmly. I shrugged. Picking up the phone and answering it.

"Hello?" I asked harshly. But all I got in return were the sounds of screams. And something really big sounded like it was cracking. "HELLO?"
