Heart of Nowhere

Summary: Spencer and co. return to Ohio. (Dude, that rhymes!) Ashley's not willing to let it go with just a simple good-bye.
---------------------
"What are you doing here in Ohio, Ash?" Spencer asked, looking down into the brunette's chocolate colored orbs. "Not that I'm complaining…"
"I can see that, you still haven't let me go." Ashley laughed lightly, "Not that I'm complaining…" They both laughed.
"Well? You still haven't answered my question, Ash." Spencer smiled; and she still hadn't released her friend.
"I had to see you." Ashley whispered truthfully, "I missed you so much, Spence."
"Ash…" Spencer whispered and pressed her lips against Ashley's.
Ashley nearly died, it felt so good to feel Spencer's mouth for the second time, feel her tongue gently trace her lips and open in invitation, to feel their tongues dance together. So damn good.
"Spence…As much as I want to just stand here, in front of your grandparent's humble abode and make out with you, I just don't think it's a particular good idea on your part." Ashley laughed, smiling up at the blonde.
"Cute Ash." Spencer laughed, "Real cute." She leaned down and pecked Ashley's cheek.
"I know I am." Ashley replied cockily. Spencer smacked her arm, shaking her head at her friend.
"Ash, not helping." Spencer laughed and reached down, grabbing Ashley's bag, "Whoa Ash, what do you have in here? The mansion?"
"No!" Ashley giggled, "I'll carry that one, you can take my guitar, if you really want to carry something."
"Ok, fine." Spencer smiled and they traded bags. "Oh, wait, we can't go in there yet." She said, pointing in the direction of the house.
"What? Why?" Ashley asked, faking hurt, "Don't your parents want to see me?" She put a hand over her heart, mocking astonishment.
"It's not that…No, wait, yes it is." Spencer laughed, "But, they also are really not expecting you, and I don't want to scare them too badly."
"Fine, then are we just gonna carry my crap around for the rest of the day? Am I gonna stay in that crappy Motel 6 near the high school? What's next, Spence?" Ashley asked, looking around hopelessly.
"Chill out Ash, we're dropping your stuff off at my place." Spencer explained, leading Ashley around to the back of the house, "But…We gotta sneak in." She turned around and smiled mischievously.
"Sweet! Spencer Carlin's sneaking me into her house!" Ashley cheered silently, "I never thought I'd see the day!"
"Shut up!" Spencer laughed, tossing Ashley her guitar case, "Hold that for a sec, will ya?"
"Oof! Jesus, Spence!" Ashley groaned, the case hitting her square in the chest, "I do need these boobs!"
"ASH!" Spencer hissed, blushing, "We're trying to be sneaky! SNEAKY remember?"
"Oh right." Ashley grumbled, "Sorrrry, apologized the hurt boob girl." She muttered and Spencer glared at her.
"Please Ash." Spencer whispered and began to climb the side of her house, "Oh my god, I can't believe I'm doing this…"
"I know, I can't believe you're doing it in a skirt!" Ashley smiled, glancing up appreciatively.
Spencer didn't even answer the brunette; she just blushed because she knew the brunette was watching her. Half-way up the house, she turned and looked down, "You can pass me one of your bags now."
Ashley didn't respond, just stared contently at the blonde's ass, a perverted, dreamy smile gracing her features. Apparently she didn't hear the blonde.
"Ash, Ashley…Ashley!" Spencer hissed, waving her free arm around to get the brunette's attention.
"Huh? What?" Ashley asked, "What do you want?"
"Your bag! Pass it up to me." Spencer instructed and grabbed the guitar case, throwing up onto her balcony.
"Jeez, Spence, can you be a little bit more careful with my crap?" Ashley grumbled, all this tossing around could not be good for her guitar.
"Oh, you want me to be careful with your crap?" Spencer groaned, rolling her eyes, "Next bag." She requested.
"Here you go." Ashley held up her bag and Spencer tossed that up on the balcony also.
Another depressing thudding noise was heard and Spencer whispered, "I really hope they didn't hear that…" She nodded in the direction of the house.
Ashley nodded her agreement, "C'mon, let's get outta here." She held her arms open before her and smiled, "Just fall into my arms, my darling."
"Yeah right!" Spencer snorted, "You won't catch me, we'll both hit the ground. I can see it now…"
"Just trust me, Spence." Ashley said, looking at Spencer seriously.
"I uh…Ok, fine." Spencer finally cracked under the brunette's intense gaze, "But I know I'm gonna regret this…" And she let go.
And to her surprise, Ashley did catch her and they didn't hit the ground.
"Oh my god…I'm not dead." Spencer breathed a sigh of relief. She put her arms around Ashley's neck and smiled, resting her head in the crook of Ashley's neck, "Thanks."
"Your welcome, but…" Ashley paused, a strained look passing over her features, "You're heavy, can I put you down now?"
Spencer laughed and slid out of Ashley's arms and the brunette breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing her sore arms. "God, Ash, you're such a baby…And I'm not that heavy…"
"Are too, and besides, look who's talking, baby." Ashley grumbled. "So what are we gonna do now, Spence? I mean, what can we do? Here in O. Hi. O?"
"Dunno, what do you want to do?" Spencer asked, dusting off her skirt.
"Spence, hun, how am I supposed to know?" Ashley asked, looking at the blonde incredulously.
"Oh right…Sorry." Spencer laughed, and she turned away, trying to hide the blush that had suddenly fallen over her cheeks, 'Ash called me 'hun'!' She tried to contain her happiness as she said, "Hm, let's just walk around, maybe we'll run into my other friends."
"Oh so that is the way you make friends, you bump into them and then they have to apologize." Ashley said, a sudden epiphany on her part. She remembered the way they met all too easily.
"Ash!" Spencer laughed and grabbed the brunette's arm, her hand sliding down to the other girl's, "Let's go."
"Lead on milady!" Ashley laughed and she followed the blonde away from grandpa and grandma Carlin's house.
"So…" Ashley drawled, they had been walking in silence for the last five minutes. She couldn't complain though, she was loving the fact that Spencer was holding her hand as they walked around her native town.
"Yeah…" Spencer muttered, looking over at the oddly nervous brunette. "Oh hey! Christian! Sam! Nicole! Stephanie! Over here!" She waved at a group of kids who were walking on the other side of the street, smiling widely when they crossed the street and ran over to her.
"Spencer!" They cried, all of them pouncing on her.
Ashley quickly jumped aside, avoiding the chaotic hugging. She smiled; Spencer had real friends out here. What, no who, was she to come in and ruin all that? No one, nothing. She realized something right then, she didn't deserve Spencer. Not at all. She suddenly became very withdrawn, shrinking back from the group of happy friends.
"So Spencer, who's this?" The tall curly haired brunette boy asked, pointing a thumb in Ashley's direction.
"Oh! This is Ashley!" Spencer smiled, grabbing the small brunette's arm and pulling her back into the group.
"WHAT!" The group demanded, eyes opening and mouth dropping to amazing proportions. "You're the Ashley?"
Spencer nodded, giving Ashley an elbow in the side, "Say hi, Ash." She hissed.
"Um, hi." Ashley squeaked out, "I'm Ashley Davies." She glanced up at the smiling group, extremely nervous about meeting Spencer's friends. "The Ashley, now am I?" She turned to Spencer. Spencer blushed.
"She talks about you all the time." The dark haired boy explained. "So you're really Ashley?" She nodded and suddenly…
"What the -?" Ashley yelped and hit the grass, completely smothered by the group.
"Hey! Guys, get off the girlfriend!" Spencer growled, grabbing her friends' arms and yanking as hard as she could, "Off! The! Girlfriend!"
She finally pulled the group off the brunette, and helped Ashley to her feet, "Sorry about that, Ash, they're very…In your face, touchy feely kinda people."
"Sorry!" The group chorused, smiling at the two girls.
"I noticed." Ashley grumbled, brushing the back of her jeans off. "Did I get it all off?" She asked, turning to the blonde.
Spencer turned and looked back, staring blatantly at the smaller brunette's ass, "Yep, oh wait a sec, missed a spot." She said, pointing to her ass. "There."
"Where?" Ashley asked, trying to look at her own ass, "I can't…" She swatted at her ass, getting nowhere near the spot Spencer had mentioned.
"Lemme get it." Spencer smiled, reaching out and brushing her hand over the brunette's ass.
"Did you get it?" Ashley asked, looking at the blonde desperately.
"There was nothing there to begin with." Spencer smirked and seeing the shocked and betrayed look on Ashley's face, said, "I just wanted an excuse to touch your cute lil ass."
Ashley smiled, oddly satisfied as Spencer slid her hand into the back pocket of Ashley's tight jeans. "You don't need an excuse to touch my ass, Spence, just do it." Ashley smiled.
"What's with the face, Steph?" Spencer asked, looking at the dirty blonde haired girl. "You too, Sam?" She was looking at the curly haired boy. He nodded vigorously.
"Oh my god…" Stephanie gasped.
"You two are so hot together." The red-head, Ashley presumed the girl was called Nicole, finished. The boy, who Ashley supposed was named Christian, nodded his complete agreement.
"Oh my gods, my friends' are perverts." Spencer groaned.
"But then again…It's not like Aiden and I aren't." Ashley pondered, "And then again, there's always Glenn, who's a total perv…"
"Hey…That's my brother you're talking about." Spencer pouted.
"Yes, but I don't hear you denying the fact that's he's a perv." Ashley smirked victoriously.
"Well, no, that I can't deny." Spencer smiled and her other friends cracked up.
"You're fun." The dark haired boy smiled, extending a hand, "I'm Christian. Nice to meet you, Ashley." He gave her a hearty hand shake.
"Hi." Ashley smiled and turned to the other boy, "And you are…?"
"I'm Sam, hey." The curly haired brunette boy shook her hand also.
"And you two?" Ashley turned to the two girls. She wanted a proper introduction after all.
"Nicole." The red-head smiled, giving Ashley a hug.
"And I'm Stephanie." The dirty blonde winked, "Welcome to Ohio, Ashley of LA."
