Author: astabasta
Rating: PG for language only
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Spencer, Ashley, Paula, Aiden
Summary: Going too far. Author's note: This series is my vision of what happens in the days after Spencer comes home after her first kiss (and whatever else may have happened) with Ashley. I have taken the liberty of introducing 4 new characters. This story line comes from my need to give Spencer a friend (or two) which she really hasn't made since she moved to LA. This is my first posting and I am having a "Spencer's-first-time-with-Ashley" moment: I'm a virgin at this and a nervous wreck but I so want to get it on…this website. Feedback and comments are welcome.

Spoilers/Warnings: None

Chapter VII

"What," Ashley answers her vibrating cell phone.

Spencer walks into Ashley's bedroom, lies on her bed, and puts her cell on the night table as Ashley leans on the doorframe to take the call.

"This is some lame concert you sent us to," Aiden complains on the other end of the line. "By the way Clay says hi. Who's ever heard of 'Jah Rocks' anyway? Where did Spence get this flyer?"

"I'm busy, Aiden," Ashley says. "What do you want?"

''Whatever you're doing, you better be done by 11," Aiden says. '' I'm responsible for getting her home on time. I'm already in with her parents so don't ruin it for me in case it doesn't work out for you two.''

Looking at Spencer lying on her bed Ashley quips, "By the time I'm done Aiden, you won't even be an option.''

Ashley snaps her phone closed.

"What does he want?" Spencer asks.

"Nothing that he can have right now," Ashley says as she slinks over to the bed and places her cell on the table beside Spencer's.

Spencer takes Ashley's hand and pulls her onto the bed beside her. A cell vibrates but they both ignore it. Ashley lies on her side pressed close to Spencer's body.

"I mean it. I'm really going to miss you," Ashley says as she strokes Spencer's hair and looks deep into her eyes. "I wish you were coming with me. You're so beautiful, I don't know what to do with you."

"I have a few a ideas," Spencer nods.

They fulfill a long overdue kiss; a kiss filled with need, longing and the anticipation that they will not have this closeness and connection for a very long time; almost two months, eight weeks, and 6 days of a very long, hot, summer seems like forever.

Ashley adeptly unbuttons the collar button on Spencer's blouse. A cell vibrates again. They kiss more deeply. Ashley undoes the next button down. Spencer relaxes deeper into the bed below her. Ashley unbuttons another revealing a white V-shaped expanse of Spencer's skin. Spencer puts her hand on top of Ashley's unbuttoning one. They stop kissing long enough to open their eyes and gaze at each other.

"I only want to see you," Ashley whispers. A cell vibrates.

Looking directly into Ashley's eyes, Spencer slowly shakes her head. She gradually slides Ashley's hand, palm down, against her skin, under the opening of her blouse, onto the cotton bra that covers her soft, sensual breast. Spencer's nipple is taught under Ashley's touch. Ashley is dizzy with want. Spencer tangles her hand in Ashley's hair and brings her mouth once again close to hers. Ashley caresses Spencer's breast, occasionally squeezing her nipple, which sends vibrations down to Ashley's middle followed by a trickle of wet. A cell vibrates again.

At first, Spencer thinks that the sighs and whispering she hears are coming from Ashley. But it is actually Spencer. She tries to silence herself but the sensual cooing comes back again. A rapid flutter hits Spencer like she's been shocked and she adjusts her hips.

Ashley hastily unbuttons more of Spencer's blouse and peels apart the two sides. Ashley can barely contain herself from kissing Spencer's pure white skin on her chest and stomach and proceeds to do so with passion and vigor. A cell vibrates.

"I can't take it anymore!" Ashley says, aggravated and annoyed. She rolls over and answers the phone. "What! Aiden! What is it? What could be so important right - "

"Spencer?" Paula asks, surprised.

Ashley slams the phone closed; a worried look spreads across her face.

"What's wrong?" Spencer asks sitting up with a start.

"That was your mom," Ashley cringes.

"You're holding my phone," Spencer says apprehensively indicating the cell in Ashley's hand.

The phone vibrates again and Ashley throws it on the bed where they both stare at it like it's going to self-destruct. 'HOME' appears on the display and Spencer reaches for it.

"Don't answer it!" Ashley yells.

Ignoring Ashley, Spencer picks up the call, "Hello?"

"I've been trying to reach you for the past 20 minutes. I need you to keep your phone on when you're out."

"Mom!" Spencer feigns surprise. "Is everything okay?"

"Spencer, who just answered your phone?" Paula firmly asks.

"I did."

"I don't mean now. I just called a second ago and a girl answered."

"What are you talking about?" Spencer answers defensively while grimacing at Ashley. "The phone just rang and I picked it up."

Cupping the mouthpiece of the phone, Spencer whispers, "Mom, this is embarrassing. Aiden is right here. So if everything is okay, I'd like to get back to my date."

"Oh! Yes, of course. I need Ashley's phone number. Clay went to her place in such a hurry because she was really upset about something. He didn't leave her number and he left his cell at home. "

Spencer gives Paula the number, quickly says bye and shuts her cell closed.

"I'm really rubbing off on you," Ashley proudly says to Spencer. "You've got my 'art of deception' down to a 'T'."

"It's not exactly something I want to aspire to. It's way too stressful," Spencer says shaking her head and re-buttoning her blouse.

"What are you doing?" Ashley places her hand on Spencer's who stops fumbling with her buttons.

"I'm feeling way too guilty to do anything right now," Spencer admits.

"I could help you with that," Ashley undoes Spencer's button again.

"Ashley no!" Spencer screams. "I'm not ready for this."

"You could have fooled me -"

"I know! I know, I'm being a total tease," Spencer confesses. "It's just that when we're into it, all I can think about is being with you. When we're apart, I dream about what it's going to be like with you. But with all these lies to get us together tonight, my mother calling and almost getting caught, even Clay is in on this and he never lies. It just doesn't feel right."

"But I could make it feel right," Ashley says desperately. "Spence, we didn't get this far for you to change your mind. I'm leaving in two days."

"No. I'm not going to get hurt again. I want it to be special with us. You'll be my second first," Spencer smiles coyly at her statement. "I don't want it to be rushed because I'm on curfew; I don't want our seeing each other to be couched in lies because my parents rather see me with some guy. I want my mom to get to know you as... as my girlfriend not just her arch enemy that's she trying to protect me from.

"Ashley, I…" Spencer pauses just long enough to censor what she really wants to say, "I care about you too much to keep you in the shadows. Now I have an idea for you."

Spencer tells Ashley the idea.

"I haven't done that since..." Ashley pauses to think. "I've never done that at all."

"Are you in?"
