Ok, I wrote this out today at work. They block this site and there so I have to wait till I come home to post. This is sort of a cliff hanger and sort of not. I wanted to post something because I will be off to Chicago for a week and don't know whether I will be able to write while I'm there. However, I will be trying to make updates more often now that it is summer and my work is SLOW. Let's just say I get 7 hours to kill so my day consists of watching about 2 movies a day, writing, working on my webpage, and about 15 minutes of actual work.

Chapter 12

Ashley's POV

I had a long day at work and all I kept doing to make the day go by was daydream about Spencer and me living together being a family. Then as the day moved on I started dreaming about more sensual things like Spencer and I together in bed worshipping each other all night long, making passionate love to one another. I can't wait for that moment to arrive when we are together like that but I know when we are both ready that will happen.

I make my way over to Spence's house. It's after six and I feel terrible for making her watch Josh for this long. I walk up to her house and the smell of my favorite meal wafts into my nostrils. I can't believe she remembered after all this time. I ring the bell and Spencer opens the door with Joshua on her hip. They both are sporting the most gorgeous smiles I have ever seen and I thank Glen a little bit in my head for drinking too much that night.

"Hello dear."

"Honey, I'm home." I smile, kiss them both on the cheek and walk in. "It smells amazing Spence, how am I ever going to repay you for cooking and taking care of my boy?"

She walks towards me and whispers in my ear, "Oh, I already have a few things in mind." Her hot breath lingers on my ear and I can feel my face turn a bright shade of red. "I already fed Josh and cleaned him up, so I am going to put in the living room and give him an activity so we can sit down and eat." She brings him into her living room and I make my way to her kitchen. She has two place settings laid out with a candle between them. I get a little teary eyed while looking for something to light the candle with when out of nowhere I get turned around with my back to the counter and the most amazing lips I have ever felt were on mine engulfing me in a searing, heart stopping kiss. She starts to pull away but I pull her back into me deepening the kiss. We make out for a while when finally she is able to get out of my grasp. "I have been waiting to do that since this morning. I don't know how much more I can take keeping PG-13 rated with you. I want so much more Ashley."

"Spence," I can see she is getting a bit choked up, "Baby, I want that too, more than you will ever know. Do you know how much pent up sexual tension I have." I lean closely into her ear, "I haven't had sex in more than 3 years, and then last time I really made love to someone was when my stupid ass walked away from the greatest love I will ever know. I love you and I want things to get physical but not yet, soon though. I just want it to be perfect and not some kind of spur of the moment thing."

"I understand completely Ash, but I don't know how much more 'polishing the pearl' I can take." Holy shit, I can't believe she just admitted that to me. "What, I'm not so sweet and innocent anymore?" She gives me a wink and walks away from me pulling a pan out of the oven. Who is she kidding, she was never sweet and innocent but she always fucking looked it. You wouldn't guess by looking at her but she was hornier than I was in high school. She is right though I don't know how much more I can take before I throw her against a wall and have my way with her.

We settle in and start to eat, making light dinner conversation. She tells me about the run in she had with her mom at the supermarket and we decide that it would be best if Glen, Heather, Ashley and myself sit my parents down and tell them right away on Saturday. Chelsea will be there and will be able to take Josh and Tasha off our hands for a few and we will break the news that they are grandparents again. Spencer thinks that the kids being at the house when we tell them will be a great buffer because her mom won't flip her shit if there are children around and that once Mrs. C gets used to the idea she will fall head over heals for Joshy just like she did. After all, he does have that Davies charm.

I cleared off the table and then grabbed Josh from the living room to help me with the dishes. He came in and showed us the picture he made; it was he holding hands with Spencer and me. It was by far the best drawing I have ever seen and Spencer quickly hung it up on her fridge.

Spence told me what her boss said about changing Josh's teacher and I was a little apprehensive. I know that if he stayed with her she could keep an eye out on him and that he would be getting an excellent education because she is so smart and such a great teacher. "Ash, if I am going to be a second parent to him, he is going to need a break from me. It wouldn't be fair to him or to the other children. I mean would you like going to school if your mother was the teacher?"

"I didn't like going to school at all and if my mom was my teacher I probably would have quit sooner." I chuckle a little. "But you are right Spence and I know you wouldn't go along with switching him if you didn't think it was a good idea."

I gathered up Josh's things and I hate that I have to go home to my apartment and my Spencerless bed. "So when can I see you again?"

"Well, you will see me tomorrow morning when I drop him off but as far as another date…. Maybe we should slow it down a tad? How about you come over Friday night after work? That way you can stay as late as you want because you don't have to be up that early and if you are too tired to drive maybe a sleep over is in order."

"I like the idea about the sleep over not the part about not seeing you for a few days but you are right we can't rush this."

I gave her a kiss and held her tight. Not doing this for a couple of days is going to prove to be extremely difficult. Spencer scoops up Josh and hugs him. "I'll see you at school mister."

The week wore on and didn't see Spencer all that much, just in the mornings when I would drop off Josh. We talked on the phone every night talking about our days and telling stories of what was going on in our lives during the time we weren't together. Even though I missed her this week. I think it was beneficial to our relationship. We got back to knowing each other on a more than physical level.

Now it's Friday night. I ordered pizza and put the six-pack of beer in the fridge to cool. I changed my outfit like a half dozen times. I wanted to look sexy but not overly dressed up for a night of pizza and beer. I settled on my favorite pair of jeans and a black halter-top.

The doorbell rang and I ran to the door, I knew it was either going to be Spence or the pizza guy and just my luck it was Spencer with the pizza. "Hey, I ordered a pizza."

"I know. He came just as I was at the door. So I paid the guy."

"Thank you, let me give you the money for it."

"That's nonsense Ash. You always pay let me get it for once."

"Alright, fine," she smiles like she just one first prize at some contest but she knows that I will pay her back some how, hopefully tonight. "Come in, bring the pizza in the dining room. I'll get Josh and some plates."

I grab what I need to and call Josh to come and sit down but he is already at the table telling Spencer about his new class and his teacher. I go put the plates down, take a slice of pizza out and cut it into bite size pieces for Josh.

"He loves his new class but I'm sure he misses you."

"I do miss Spencew and I miss pizza fwom New Yowk."

"I miss those things too." I move over to my chair and on my way I reach around and hug her from behind and place a small kiss on her neck. "I've missed you."

"Me, too," she tells me as she leans into my embrace.

We make small talk throughout dinner, laughing and sharing stories about our day. After dinner we move into the living room to watch a movie and I decide while we are all cuddled together that we should have a family night like this once a week and invite Kyla over and Chelsea and Tasha. It will be so much fun.

When the credits start to roll I notice that Josh is passed out. I pick him up and get him ready for bed. Spencer offers to help but I told her to find something to watch on tv and I will be back in five minutes.

I walk back in to find her sprawled out on the couch watching NUMBERS. "Come lay next to me Ash.," but I have a better idea in mind. I walk over to the couch and straddle her, lean down and place an extremely passionate kiss. For the first time in days I feel like I am actually breathing again. I can't do this any more I need my Spencer channel, you know all Spence all the time. Our kiss begins to get deeper and I can hear her moan as I move my lips to her neck. We are grabbing at each other, trying hard to get as close as humanly possible to one another. I break the kiss and stare deeply into her ocean colored eyes.

"Bedroom," it was more of a question then it was a demand. She nods, I get up and take her hand in mine. I walk her to my room and close the door slightly just in case Josh wakes up and needs something. When I turn around, Spencer is back on my lips and pushes me onto the bed. "You are wearing too much clothing." She takes off her shirt and reveals a very sexy black bra.

"Take off yours, I want to see your body. I want to feel your skin on mine," without hesitation my shirt joins her on the floor.

Next chapter more lovin', the BBQ and a truck?
