Chapter 6

Ashley's POV

We had left the school parking lot and where now headed for the beach. The car ride was again silent apart from the sounds of the road and my car as we drove smoothly towards the coast.

I pulled up and I could hear the waves and the smell of the sea.

Spencer stepped out of the car and began to make her way across the sand to our spot (We had come here on our first date after we sorted everything out).

It had probably been half an hour since Spencer and I had reached our spot but it seemed like hours because we hadn't said a word to each other.

We were sat underneath the pier. Me, with my back up against the wood, Spencer sitting between my legs. I was softly playing with her hair and she was relaxing more leaning back in towards me.

The perfect thing about our relationship was that we didn't have to speak or show affection all the time. As long as the other was there with you it was fine. Just to be in each other's company was enough.

I was thinking about asking Spencer about this morning but then she finally spoke up.

"Ash?"



"Yeah Spence."

"I'm confused."

I chuckled lightly before answering. "O are you. Well maybe I can help with it. What are you confused about my dear?"

"Well you know this morning?"

"Yep I seem to remember your mother storming to the car with her 'I'm angry and I' going to kill someone' face on."

"Well yeah. Before I left the house she told me I wasn't allowed to hang out with you anymore because you're gay."

"O..."

"Yeah o. It's just if she feels that way about my friend being gay. How's she gonna react when I finally come out to her?"

"Well you never know she may self combust and you won't have to worry." I saw a smile spread across her face briefly.

"Maybe." She said whilst giggling slightly.

She leant back towards me again and me were silent again for awhile until I broke it.

"Well Spence. Why don't you just tell them?"

"What that I'm with you? And I'm gay?"

"Yeah."

"But what if I can't be with you anymore because of it? What if the split us up? Or sends me away?"

"Yeah I know but whenever you tell them there's always gonna be consequences. Maybe once they see how happy you are they may just be fine with it. But you'll never know until you tell them."

"I'll do it tonight when I get home." There was a pause until she asked "Will you be there with me?"

"Of course I will. Remember what I said, whenever you need me I'll be there. All you have to do is say the word and I'm there."

"But for now let's just have the rest of today, with just us. No parents, no cheer breeders, no complications, just us."

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

She turned towards me and kissed me lightly on the lips. As she pulled away I wanted more so pulled her back in and down on top of me with our lips together all the way.

What! It may be the last kiss I get. Because who knows what'll happen this evening.
