Chapter 3 - The Closest I Am To Living Life On The Edge
Spencer giggled as she watched Ashley struggle to get back up after being hit with the huge fluffy orange pillow. "Oh you laugh it up Spence! As soon as I get my ass back up, you're going down!" Ashley retorted. "Bring it on baby," Spencer said in a husky voice without realizing what she had just called her friend. Her f-r-i-e-n-d, not her baby. She immediately felt herself starting to blush a bit at the thought but hoped it wouldn't show. Ashley on the other hand had heard her perfectly, but she shrugged it off because well, girls call each other pet names all of the time, right?

Just then Ashley managed to get back up to her feet. Spencer glanced back towards Ashley who now was standing in front of her in some kind of karate stance and couldn't help but laugh at the cuteness. "Ash… what the hell do you call that?" she asked while still laughing. "What? It's called my 'I'm so going to kick your ass' stance!" she replied while pouting. "You call that your kicking my ass stance?" she continued to tease. "Ok, fine, fine. I'll just kick your ass normally," she said. "Oh you think so?" Spencer asked seriously. "I know so," Ashley replied confidently. Spencer then tried to catch her off guard, "Ha-ha-ha, that's pretty funny. Hey what's that outside your window?" "Not gonna happen Spence. Come on who would fall for that one, seriously?" she stated while turning her head towards the window on instinct. "Apparently you…" Spencer said as she pushed Ashley down to the bed.

"That's not all I'm falling for," Ashley thought to herself. "Damn you! Damn YOU! You got me," Ashley whined while Spencer was still on top of her. Spencer laughed some more and proceeded to roll off of Ashley and catch her breath. She sighed heavily, "It's such a nice day today. We should go do something later," she stated while looking over at Ashley. Just then Ashley took this as her moment to finally win a battle and get Spencer back. She sat up as fast as she could and hovered over Spencer while pinning her hands to the bed. Feeling quite bold at the moment, she moved closer to Spencer's ear, which caused the girl to squirm a bit underneath, and whispered, "Hey blondie, who's got who now huh?" Spencer swallowed hard as she inhaled the scent of her friend and tried not to make eye contact as she felt Ashley's hair tickle her face. Ashley looked back down at Spencer to see her current reaction. "You got me," was all Spencer could manage to choke out as she found it increasingly difficult to restrain herself from doing something she shouldn't.

"Thought so," Ashley replied as she let go of Spencer's hands. "There you can move your hands around now," she smiled as she continued to sit comfortably on her stomach. "Aww, thanks. How kind of you," Spencer said sarcastically. "Hey don't take that tone of voice with me missy! I so could've kept you that way if I wanted to!" Ashley exclaimed. "Then why didn't you…?" Spencer asked, her voice barely audible. She didn't know why she'd said it, or why she felt all tingly inside when she did, but she wasn't up for figuring it out right now. She lazily let her hands fall to her side and she unconsciously began to trace little outlines on Ashley's smooth legs. "Umm…" Ashley began. "Because?" she stated confusedly.
