A/N. Thanks to all who reviewed...you all get major brownie points (as soon as I find someone who can actually bake brownies WITHOUT setting the house on fire). But you'll get them, with interest! Anyways, in honor of Valentine's Day, here is my next update! Hope you guys like it!
Chapter Six
Spencer, who's face still remained buried in her hands, had actually done the impossible: stunned Ashley Davies into silence. Ashley opened her mouth to say something, but soon realized that she had somehow lost all concept of speech. She walked over to the bed and sat beside the quiet blonde. "Spencer," she softly whispered, jostling the girl from her thoughts. "Did you mean it?"
Spencer turned her head to meet Ashley's gaze. "What?" she asked quietly.
"Did you mean what you just said?" Ashley began. Spencer nodded her head and lowered her eyes. Ashley breathed in deeply, furrowing her brow and biting her lower lip. She contemplated her next move, the consequences of her actions could be more than she could handle. "Spencer," she said again, gaining back the young girl's attention.
"Hmm," Spencer said, still fiddling with her cell phone on her lap.
"Spencer," Ashley repeated, louder this time. She cupped Spencer's face, forcing the silent blonde to look at her. "If you want to kiss me," she began, "then kiss me." There. She'd said it. Ashley had put her heart out there, out into the darkness, hoping that Spencer would take it.
Spencer's eyes opened in shock as she stared at her best friend. She couldn't think straight; she couldn't comprehend any thoughts that were floating through her mind. All she could concentrate on was the cute way that Ashley was biting her lower lip. Spencer licked her own lips in response. She wanted to say something; wanted to protest to these feelings that were exploding inside her. But she couldn't. Here she sat, perfect Spencer Carlin. Spencer Carlin who always did what her parents asked. Spencer Carlin who got straight A's and loved school. Spencer Carlin who couldn't possibly do anything to hurt her family…and Spencer Carlin, the girl who was undeniably in love with Ashley Davies.
Before she knew it, Spencer leaned closer to Ashley. She could feel the brunette's soft breath on her lips, drawing her closer. She looked in Ashley's eyes, being pulled in by the deep brown pools that she loved so much. Her eyes twinkled with unshed tears and hope. Spencer could feel her heart and her body aching to be closer to Ashley's. Ashley reached up and gently moved a stray piece of blonde hair away from Spencer's eyes. "Ashley," Spencer whispered, tilting her head to the side.
"It's ok," Ashley whispered back as she slowly leaned forward, nearly meeting her lips with Spencer's.
Spencer licked her lips once more, finding that they had suddenly become dry again. Her breath mixed with Ashley's as she responded, "I know."
Spencer captured Ashley's lips with her own, pressing gently against them, exploring the new sensations that flooded her body. The kiss began tentatively, Ashley allowing Spencer the opportunity to back away if she wanted. But leaving Ashley was the last thing on Spencer's mind. Spencer could feel her pulse quicken as Ashley's hand slowly slid up her arm, finally resting her fingers on the back of the blonde's neck. Spencer slowly opened her mouth and ran her tongue along Ashley's bottom lip, begging for access. Ashley surrendered, gasping in ecstasy as Spencer's tongue met hers. Spencer tasted like strawberries, and the passion that was building inside of Ashley could no longer be controlled. She gently began to lower the blonde back down to the bed, stopping once Spencer's back touched the mattress. She looked in the young girl's eyes, "Are you sure?" she asked, her eyes filled with hope.
"I'm not…ready for everything Ashley. But being here, like this, with you, is the only thing in my life that I am sure about," Spencer responded, gently caressing Ashley's cheek.
"I just don't want to hurt you," Ashley stated, worry and doubt crossing her face.
"That could never happen Ashley," Spencer began, "Because I love you."
