Chapter 19:
Here's some fluff for you guys. I loved all of the reviews, keep them coming!
"Where did you go?" she asked.
"I woke up and you were gone and the monkey looking boy was trying to cop a feel" she said smiling. I was happy to see that she wasn't as traumatized as I thought she was. The poor girl was probably just startled. It was good that she was able to make light of the situation. I hoped that maybe she would be able to make light of the situation with her family soon.
"Well baby I was going to make you some chicken noodle soup. I said sweetly.
"Well, I do like soup" she said playfully.
"Your chariot awaits madam" I said jumping off of the bed. I bent over and let her jump onto my back.
"Giddye up horsy" she said smacking my ass.
"Ride'm cowboy" I replied doing my best Woody from Toy Story impression.
It was time to make my baby some soup.
Ashley's POV
With Spencer on my back I ran down to the kitchen. She was giggling all the way down the stairs. It was really great to see her happy again. I knew that it must be hard for her to have to go through this with her family.
I sat her on the counter and gave her a peck on the lips. She pulled me in between her legs in an attempt to deepen the kiss. I bit her lip sliding my tongue into her mouth massaging her tongue with mine. Her hands were massaging my back and mine were massaging her soft stomach. It felt so good to have her soft lips on mine. I could kiss her forever and never get tired of it.
I pulled away when I noticed that she was shivering.
"Baby, are you cold" I asked sounding concerned. She nodded wrapping her arms around herself. I walked into the living room and grabbed her a blanket. Walking back into the kitchen I wrapped it around her and squeezed tight.
"Alright soup time" I said rubbing my hands together.
"Baby why don't you go lay down on the couch. I'll come bring you some soup when it's done." She nodded and jumped off the counter. She walked over to me and gave me a peck on the lips.
30 Minutes Later:
I ladled some soup into a bowl for and and placed it on a tray. I grabbed the tray and walked into the living room. I loved taking care of Spencer when she was sick. I liked knowing that I was able to make her day a little bit better.
The sight before me was so heartwarming.
Spencer was curled up on the couch and she was clutching my sweatshirt in her hands. She had her face pressed into my sweatshirt and she was lightly snoring. I didn't have the heart to wake her so I went back into the kitchen.
I put the soup back in the pot and put the cover on. I figured that I could reheat it later for the both of us when she was hungry.
Walking back into the living room, I realized that she must be cold, only having a sports bra and a pair of boxers on.
I grabbed the blanket that she had thrown on the floor and laid it on top of her. As I was tucking her in, Spencer pulled me on top of her. I let out a grunt as I landed on top of her. She wrapped her arms around me dropping my sweatshirt onto the floor.
"Mmm, much better" she mumbled into my neck as she got comfortable.
I pulled the blanket out from under me and threw it over the both of us. I grabbed her from underneath me and flipped us over.
I heard her sigh in contempt as she took a deep breath taking in my scent. I knew she loved the way I smelt and I was very happy having her face in the crook of my neck.
I held her tight against my chest as we drifted off into sleep.
Spencer's POV
I sleep a lot. I was never much of a sleeper before I met Ashley but now I feel so at peace when I am laying with her.
I could tell that Ashley was still fast asleep but I knew that I needed to get up. I could feel my stomach rumbling and I knew that I needed food to eat now.
I pried myself out from underneath Ashley and gave her a peck on the cheek.
I ran to the bathroom before stepping into the kitchen. I noticed a pot on the stove and saw that Ashley had made soup. I turned the stove on and stirred the soup heating it up. I turned on the radio low next to me, trying to find something catchy to listen to.
It suddenly hit me that I was ridiculously happy. I mean I honestly could not remember the last time that I was that happy. This girl had come into my life and completely turned it around.
I found a station that I liked and realized what the song was about.
Man-made, rewiring of a predisposition
Playing God
Ahh nah, here we go
America the brave
Still fears what we don't know
And God loves all His children
Is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written
35 hundred years ago
I don't know
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm
It was a girl that was singing that part. She was singing about another girl keeping her warm. This song was about gay rights. I could feel the tears start to pool in my eyes as I continued to stir the soup.
If I was gay
I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the YouTube comments lately
"Man that's gay"
Gets dropped on the daily
We've become so numb to what we're sayin'
Our culture founded from oppression
Yeah, we don't have acceptance for 'em
Call each other faggots
Behind the keys of a message board
A word routed in hate
Yet our genre still ignores it
Gay is synonymous with the lesser
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Gender and skin color
Complexion of your pigment
The same fight that lead people to walk-outs and sit-ins
It's human rights for everybody
There is no difference
Live on! And be yourself!
When I was in church
They taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service
Those words aren't anointed
And that Holy Water
That you soak in
Is then poisoned
When everyone else
Is more comfortable
Remaining voiceless
Rather than fighting for humans
That have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same
But that's not important
No freedom 'til we're equal
Damn right I support it
I don't know
"Boo" I heard whispered in my ear. I jumped away holding the wooden spoon in my hand as a weapon. I saw Ashley smirking at me.
"Really Spence a spoon" she asked smiling. She grabbed the spoon out of my hands and placed on the table next to us. She pulled me into her. I leaned my head on her shoulder and we just swayed to the music.
She placed her hands on my hips and I had my arms around her neck.
We have to change us
Whatever god you believe in
We come from the same one
Strip away the fear
Underneath it's all the same love
About time that we raised up
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm
"She keeps me warm" Ashley repeated into my ear. Her beautiful singing voice always made me smile.
I looked over at the soup and saw that it was about to boil over. I quickly shoved Ashley away from me and ran to the stove. I turned the heat down just in time before it was about to boil over.
I let out a sigh of relief before looking over at Ashley who was giving me a confused look.
"What I was hungry" I said innocently. She gave me knowing look before pushing herself off of the counter.
She walked over and gave me a bowl of soup. She knelt down in front of me and leaned into my stomach.
"We better feed you before the beast is awoken" she said laughing as I stared down at her. She stood up and walked away carrying two bowls of soup to the kitchen table.
I gave her a slap on the ass and followed behind her.
Finally, time to eat.
