A Snippet Of Life

DISCLAIMER : I own nothing.

SUMMARY: this is sort of spoofed on my relationship with my girlfriend. I've taken the role of "Ashley" and Shannon (my girl) has taken the part of "Spencer" the dialogue is mostly actual conversations we've had. Although the time line has been reconstructed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been waiting here for about five minutes already. She's late. She's usually here by 6:50am at the latest. This is rare. Spencer Carlin is almost never late for anything, she even calls at the exact time she says she's going to. She's going to miss role call for her '0' period if she doesn't get here soon.

And there she is. Walking towards me. A small smile on her face as she approaches.

We've been together for a month, the only problem being that her mom doesn't want her daughter to be gay. And she's been giving Spencer shit for it for about 2 weeks. (When she found out that we were together). So it's been my job to comfort Spence and let her know that everything will eventually be back to normal. But I'm not going to think about that right now. She's here, with me. And I need to be thankful for that.

As she walked over to me she extended her arms and pulled me into a strong hug. I love the way her body fits against mine. She puts her mouth to my neck and I shudder. That just happens to be one of the most sensitive parts of my body. She kisses me there and I feel her let out a deep breath.

"Guess what happened this weekend.." she mumbled into me.

"What? Talk to your Ohio guy?"I ask. Now..your probably wondering why I've been dating a girl with a boyfriend. Well it turns out that her Ohio boy and her just stopped talking, and never officially broke up. So he called her a few nights ago and they clicked again. And as worried as I was that he was talking to her again, I knew Spencer. And I knew that even if she ever hurt me. I'd still be her's.

"I broke up with my boyfriend" she whispers. I couldn't believe it. There's no way she just said that...oh great Ashley, selective hearing. You've wanted to hear that for so long whatever she says turns into that.

"What- wait...why?" I asked.

"I just told him that it wasn't working out" she was smiling into my shoulder. I could hear it in her voice. She was happy, but a little...something..I couldn't place it. She's a bit unreadable sometimes. I paused a bit before saying anything.

"You have no idea how long I've waited for you to say that." I laughed.

"See I knew you had a problem with me having a-" I pressed my lips against her's hard enough to bruise. She pulled away for a second before she gently touched my cheek and put her hand behind my head to pull me to her again. This time she ran her tongue along my bottom lip and I couldn't resist this electricity. I slowly gave her access to my mouth and I met her tongue with my own.

After a few moments she pulled away and smiled at me. I smiled back. Couldn't help it, I still can't understand how some people can find her annoying. They must all be blind. Blind to this girl's obvious beauty. But their ignorance doesn't matter right now. All that matters is her.

"So what's going on today? I've got all morning." she looked at me with amusement as I gave her a confused stare.

"What are you talking about? I thought you had to go to 'zero' today.."

"Nope. Im all your's for a full hour..as long as my mom doesn't drive by and abduct me." she smiled. God I love that smile. And the way her eyes twinkle at me as she tells me she's mine excites me to no end.

"All mine huh? I have a few idea's about what we could do.."

"We cant go to your house remember?" she tried to clue me in on the news I gave her last night.

"Um..why can't we go there?"

"Because your mom's there and she doesn't like the lesbian thing..she yelled at us yesterday when we went to walk to your car, and were holding hands..remember?"

I shrunk. Damn, a full hour with her and we can't really go anywhere besides the school. Shit! At least her mom starts to work the night shift again on Friday. I'm going to sneak out and pay a little visit. Maybe stay for a few hours. Who know's what will happen then. But I'm not going to go into that right now. I looked at her.

"Let's go for a walk and wander for a little while." I suggested.

"Ok" she smiled at me, eyes shining again.

About a half hour later we end up right back where we started. Sitting by one of the portable classrooms at the school. She put her stuff down and locked eyes with me. I couldn't help but touch her so I took hold of her hand, brought it to my lips, and kissed it. I love her hands, everything about her is beautiful but I'll never get over the softness of her skin or the way her eyes can look straight through me, to see everything that I am. She pulled me in for a hug and we stood there, in the middle of the quad, just holding each other. I was perfectly fine with the way we were but suddenly she pulled away enough to whisper something in my ear.

"I love you." was all I heard. This, this sensation inside of me started up again and I felt all lightheaded and 'tingly'. At that moment, I felt as if I could do anything. But all I did was hug her to me tighter, smile and whisper..

" I love you too." If at all possible I felt her pull me closer and put her head back on my shoulder, content to be where she was.

It was then when I started to think about what had just happened. The sincerity in her voice was genuine. But can you love someone when you've only been together a month? I knew I defiantly loved this girl. She's the first good thing to happen to me in so long, I don't know what would have become of me without her. Now I have someone to live for. But I have to question her feelings for me. I'm not used to being cared about so when it happens I'm very skeptical of it. But for now, right here with her in my arms. I'm not going to question anything. I love her, she's here with me, and that is all that matters.
