A/N- To answer some of your questions: Yes Ashley's mom is dead. I had some sort of brainfart and forgot about it but her mom is dead.
"You…you love me?"
"Yeah…I do Spence. So much."
"Ash….I….I love you too." I don't think I've ever been so happy in my entire life. When she said those words I thought I was going to die of a heart attack. I leaned in and kissed her soft and slow. Kind of like in those romantic movies except we're lesbians and totally hotter. She broke the kiss and I put my hands on her face and stroked her cheeks.
"So….you want to eat?"
"Eat?"
"Yeah I've got a ton of food here." I say pointing at the basket sitting on a blanket surrounded by candles.
"Good because I'm so hungry!" she says running over to sit on the blanket.
We ate for a little while and then just lied down and watched the stars. I was on my back and she was cuddled up to my side with her head on my chest.
"Hey Ash?"
"Yeah?"
"Just a question…..what exactly is it you love about me?"
"You want me to list all of them?"
"Only if you want…."
"Eventually I'll tell you…..but not now."
"Okay works for me." We shared a laugh. We sat out there for another hour and then I had to take Spencer home. I kissed her goodnight and drove home. Today was the best day of my life.
5 days later
I've been working on a surprise for Spencer for her birthday. It's going to be a gift, but not the only gift I give her. Her birthday is today and she's coming over in about an hour to be with me. Just me. That makes me smile thinking she would spend a few hours of her birthday with just me. Anyway, I got her a friendship ring. Not the kind you give to your best friend but the kind you give to someone you love to show them you're committed to them. I have a matching one. The thing I made for her is 100 reasons why I love her. I know, it's corny but I thought she might like it.
About an hour later Spencer came over and I lead her up to my room.
"Happy birthday Spencer"
"Thanks Ash" She cups my face can pulls me in for a soft kiss. Every time she does that I get butterflies in my stomach.
"So I got you something."
"What is it?"
"Well I actually got you two things. 1st I got you this" I say handing her a small, black velvet box.
"Ash you didn't have to."
"But I wanted to." She opens it and looks at the ring and then up at me.
"Will you put it on me?" I nod and take the box from her and remove the ring. I took her finger and put it on her and then held her hand in mine.
"Do you know what this means?"
"No what?"
"Well it means I'm committed to you. I know I have been for 3 months now but I kind of wanted to….I don't know…show it I guess. I know everyone already knows about it but I just wanted to do this for us. This is the first time I have ever done something like this and you really mean a lot to me Spencer. I even have one." I show her my finger.
"Aw, Ashley. I love you."
"I love you too. And to show you how much I made you a list."
"A list?"
"Yeah remember when you asked what I loved about you?"
"Yeah."
"Well I made you a list of what I love about you. Not everything is there, just 100 but my hand started to hurt from writing it."
"Awesome. Let's hear it."
"Okay…it's um, a little corny but here it is." I picked up a sheet of paper I had written all 100 of them on and started to read.
