Give It A Break

"With all your shit lying around everywhere!" Spencer yelled loudly at her girlfriend as she threw a pair of pants at the other girls face.

Ashley momentarily stopped talking. Her girlfriend had just cursed, and they weren't having sex. This meant that Spencer was mad. Actually, Ashley was pretty sure that she was royally pissed. She almost felt intimidated. Almost.

"This is not even your apartment Spencer!" Ashley yelled back just as loud. She believed it was a valid point.

Spencer huffed around the apartment that was not hers. She knew this, but she didn't care. Her girlfriend was lazy and it wasn't just the messiness that was getting to Spencer. It was everything. For the past week all the couple had been doing was fighting. They continued to bicker over stupid things like an old married couple. Things that could be easily fixed. But Ashley Davies was slightly conceited and indifferent. And Spencer Carlin was stubborn and slightly demanding.

"I don't care." Spencer's red face exclaimed. She again, threw something at Ashley but this time it was a slipper. It hit the very sexy brunette right on the forehead.

"You did not just fucking throw something at my face." Ashley seethed, her hands clenched at her sides.

"You are so fucking lazy Ashley. You're messy, and you don't do anything, and you don't support me. Also, you're always late in paying your bills and you forgot the anniversary of the first time we met!" Spencer spewed out stupid information. Information that was both true and false.

Ashley was messy and she kind of didn't do anything. She also was always late in paying her bills. But Ashley's anger flared even more when Spencer said she never supported her. That was a lie. And the anniversary of the first day they met? That's not a real anniversary, Ashley thought. Spencer also knew this last part was inconsequential, but she just needed to say more mean things.

"Screw you, you know I support you, I went to the opening of that play you have been working on for, like, five thousand years." Ashley countered. She ignored the other parts of Spencer's allegations.

Spencer gave Ashley a death glare. "Five thousand years? Don't be sarcastic with me. That was important, school, for me, is important."

Ashley's face frowned and she felt her heart hurt a little bit. That was uncalled for, if Ashley wanted to go to college she would.

"What, you think you're better than me because you go to college and I don't? Is that what you're saying?" Ashley asked Spencer roughly. She wouldn't let herself get that upset at the blonde's words. She knew Spencer was just being hot-headed. As was she.

Spencer tried to back peddle. "No, no that's not what I meant, I just, I'm busy a lot Ashley, I can't be at your every beck and call."

"Because you're too busy flirting with that slut-bag Kelly." Ashley answered, Her eyes were now narrow slits. This was partly because she was so mad and partly so that she wouldn't be able to see all of Spencer. Because an angry Spencer turned her on. Any Spencer turned her on and she refused to be the one to give up first.

"We're JUST FRIENDS!" Spencer basically screamed at her jealous girlfriend. "All you ever do is get jealous and think girls are hitting on me. I can have other friends Ashley!"

"I know that." The brunette spit meanly.

It was true. She was constantly jealous, even when Spencer had straight friends. But Ashley knew that Spencer could be the kind of girl that any girl would find attractive. Simply because she was gorgeous and way too innocent. It's not that Ashley didn't trust Spencer, she did with her whole heart. She just trusted no one else.

"Well you don't show it." Spencer said, her arms crossed over her chest.

"You know what Spencer, you're so fucking demanding, all the time. All you do is fucking bitch and moan at me and tell me how much I suck. I just want to hang out with my girlfriend but you're always to busy with your stupid straight friends and your parties and your, your, homework." Ashley was determined to have a list of her own. Although if she was completely honest with herself, almost everything she said was false.

"I do not tell you that." Spencer said more softly this time. Her feelings were now actually hurt. She would never tell Ashley she sucked, because her girlfriend was far from it. She was amazingly wonderful. "And I have to do my work if I want to graduate." She finished more roughly than she started.

Ashley rolled her eyes at the blonde, for no other reason than she thought the situation called for an eye roll.

"Don't roll your eyes at me!" Spencer yelled, freshly angry again.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Ashley yelled back.

Spencer scoffed in an overdramatic way while starting to gather her stuff. She grabbed her purse and jacket. "You know what, baby, I think we need a break." Spencer said the affectionate term in an extremely mocking way.

Ashley's heart rate sky-rocketed. She's bluffing, Ashley thought to herself. "Great!" She played along.

"Good." Spencer spit and walked to the door, opening it.

Ashley followed her, taking hard steps on the wooden floor of the loft. "Don't you walk away from me!"

All the brunette got in response from the blonde was a door slamming in her face

Spencer drove home more angrily than what was safe. Music blared in a deafening way from her speakers as the sunny L.A. sun shined through her windows. She knew she was stubborn and she knew Ashley was stubborn. The more she thought about it, the more she thought about how she didn't want a break. Not at all. But Ashley didn't stop her and there was no way in hell that she was going to give in first. She was determined to make Ashley wait.

Ashley sat on her living room couch holding a freezing cold beer in her one hand and her cell phone in her other hand. Surely, Spencer was joking. She took a sip of the beer and her teeth chattered it was so cold. Ashley watched the screen of her cell phone, waiting for Spencer to pop up. After about an hour of this, she realized that Spencer was testing her. At least, she really hoped her girlfriend was testing her. She didn't want a break. She just wanted Spencer.

The couples' fights had always escalated but one had never gotten so out of hand like this one had. Their stubbornness almost always made matters worse than they actually were.

Another hour passed and Spencer couldn't concentrate on her homework. She sat in her room, on her bed, with her book open, watching her window. She waited to hear a rock thrown against it. Ashley always came to her window. Another hour passed and there was no rock. No small chime.

Sighing to herself, the blonde closed the text book and cracked open a novel she had to have read by tomorrow. She was pissed Ashley had distracted her from her work. Spencer absolutely loathed being unprepared.

The sun was now setting and neither girl had heard from the other. They both hated it. It was just a matter of who would crack first.

Spencer's eyes were just about to close for a late nap when she heard her text message tone sound. Groaning, she flipped the plastic open and read the message from her girlfriend.

Come here.

Spencer knew where "here" was and she didn't feel like it. She wrote back.

No.

Ashley, shivering slightly from the breeze coming from the ocean, rolled her eyes at her girlfriend's response. She couldn't take it anymore. She was so over this. This whole thing. And she was mad at Spencer's stupid response. She clicked her fingers on the button of her cell phone.

Just do it.

Spencer let out a small yell of frustration into her pillow. She knew she would go and she hated that she knew that. The brunette waiting for her had some kind of power over her.

Without saying goodbye to the rest of her family in the house, Spencer bolted out of the door and jumped into her car. She made it to the beach and to the spot where she knew her girlfriend was in records slowest time. Still stubborn, she wanted to make Ashley wait even longer.

Ashley, sitting on the sand, saw the flash of headlights and heard the kill of the engine. She sighed to herself and turned her head to watch the blonde walk towards her at a snail-like pace. She smirked, knowing exactly what Spencer was doing. Making her wait. So fine, she would wait.

Spencer didn't kneel down next to Ashley, she just kept standing. She heard the brunette huff like a child.

"Would you just sit down?" Ashley asked in an annoyed tone.

Spencer complied and kneeled down next to Ashley, facing the side of her. She watched as Ashley's head turned to face her. "I don't want to be on a break anymore." The brunette said forcefully.

"I don't want to break on a break anymore either." Spencer said roughly.

Ashley's eyes squinted at the blonde, taking in the way the breeze was blowing her soft hair over her shoulders and into her perfect face. She saw slight goose bumps rise on her exposed shoulders from the chill in the air. Spencer, in turn, watched as her girlfriend's eyes looked her over and immediately became a shade darker. Spencer never ceased to be amazed at how just the way Ashley would look at her made her feel.

Without any notice or warning, Ashley crashed her lips against Spencer's, pushing her into a demanding kiss. Spencer accepted it and pulled the brunette's curls closer to her. Even their tongues stubbornly fought for control of each other, but neither girl minded.

After a minute of two, Spencer smiled into Ashley's lips, which were now just resting lightly on her own. She was no longer chilly.

Ashley bit Spencer's bottom lip playfully. "I love you." She told Spencer seriously with a sideways smile.

Spencer ran her hands down Ashley's neck, earning a small moan from the girl she was touching. "I love you more."

Ashley kissed her again. "No you don't."

The blonde forcefully pushed Ashley down onto her back and hovered over her body. An action that caused a primal growl to escape her girlfriend's throat. "Yes I do." Spencer murmured before putting her lips back where they belonged.

Ashley didn't argue.
