((Alright, guys (and girls) – sorry for the long update! Sorry… anyway – back to the story!))

The next thing Spencer knew, she was being guided to Ashley's Porsche and being driven away from their memorable spot.
With the night's actions, Spencer wasn't for sure what to say or even do, for that matter – so, she just decided to let Ashley do all the talking, thinking and planning; as usual.
Ashley, of course, was the more experienced of the two. She knows what it's like to be on either side of the road. She remembers quite clearly on how her first kiss with a girl was like.
Scary, confusing, embarrassing, uplifting, a breakage of the ice-wall the two of you have built up and a little bit of rebellion floats through your veins. No reason for it to, but – somehow, it just does.
The brunette, coming out of her own train of thought, looks over at Spencer and notices her being quieter than usual.
"What's wrong, Spence?"
Spencer's head suddenly jerks up at the sound of Ashley's low, gravely voice and she waits a few minutes before answering Ashley's question.
"Nothing. I just – I'm just hoping that this isn't some potential goofing of my feelings… toward you."
"Okay – why would you think that? Spencer – I don't kiss just to kiss…"
"Oh – you don't?"
"Not like how I kissed you!"
There was slight defensiveness in Ashley's voice now and it kind of scared Spencer. The last thing she wanted to do was upset Ashley over her being confused on her feelings.
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry, Ashley – I didn't mean to make you mad."
"It's okay. It's just that – I wish you wouldn't let other people's judgments of me persuade you so much."
"Who's judging you?"
"Everyone!! The world, your mom, Glen, the cheer-bitches… and sometimes – I'll even catch myself judging me."
All Spencer could manage to spit out was, "I'm sorry…" and for those two – that was the end of that conversation. No more was said – and no more were they going to bring it up.

Having given their last conversation about ten minutes to die down, the beautiful brunette wanted to keep their "talking-status" alive.
"So – do you think you can spend the night?"
"Umm… sure! I'll just have to call home and see how things are with them."
"Is there something wrong with your family, Spence?"
"No, no – I just… I want to make sure it's okay before I just go out and do something I'm not supposed to."
Ashley then muttered a few words under her breath that sounded like, "Like go out and kiss your best-friend…?"
Spencer dialed in seven, known numbers into her cell phone and then began her conversation.
"Hey, Clay! Is dad home?"
"Oh – okay. Oh – I see. But – mom is?"
"Well…" she looks over at Ashley for some much needed guidance and then quickly covers the end of the phone with her hand; she then whispers to Ashley.
"What should I do? Clay says that mom's the only one home and she seems pissed off more than usual."
"Well, does your dad have his cell with him?"
"Probably."
"Okay, then – just call him and ask him real quick… and then have him call home and say that he 'forgot' to tell your mom that you were staying over at my house."
"Jeeze – quite a lot of work for just a little girl, huh?" she says with a small curl of her upper lip.
She uncovers the end of the phone and then talks normal into it.
"Okay, Clay… tell mom to call dad here in about… oh – ten minutes and he'll tell her all the details, okay? Alright! Thanks, Clay. Uh-huh – love you, too!"
She then quickly hangs up the phone by flipping the top of it down and then just as quickly, flips it open and dials another set of known numbers and waits…
"Hey, dad! Can I talk to you for a minute or two? Okay – well, I really really want to spend the night with Ashley and I'm afraid to ask mom because I know for a fact that she'll say 'no', so….. alright!! Thanks, daddy! I love you, too! Bye."
Before ending the phone conversation with her father, Spencer kisses the very end of the phone and then proceeds to hang it up.
"Okay – wow – that was… eventful!"
"Anything for you, Ash!" she says with a little bit more happiness in her voice.
"Okay – let's go!"
"Umm… Spence? We're already here."
"No way?"
"Yes, way! While you were over there 'manipulating' – I was busy over here driving and keeping our lives safe."
Spencer gives Ashley one of those, "Oh – you think you're so funny, don't you?" looks, opens the passenger side door, and then runs to the front of Ashley's mansion.
"Jeeze, Spencer! Could you be anymore eager to get inside?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Hey – is your pool fixed yet?"
"Umm… yeah, it is! It took those workers like two months to get all that lining scraped out and then it took them another two months to replace it all. So yeah – it's done. Why… you want to go swimming?"
Spencer sexily takes Ashley's keys from her, opens the front door and then turns around to face Ashley. With the house being dark inside, it was kind of hard for Ashley to see Spencer's face clearly, but – Spencer, on the other hand, could see Ashley's better than ever.
"Only if I can borrow a suit…"
