Thanks for all the reviews on the last chapter. I don't really have any ides on where I'm going with the story next so message me with your ideas. Thanks and review!
Previously on Somewhere Only We Know:
I mimicked the position that Madison had been in with her. Ashley placed her hands on my hips and pulled me into her. We stayed like that for a a few minutes ignoring the catcalls and hatful remarks.
"So tell me. Who's kiss was better" I asked Ashley teasingly. We started to walk to her car to try and home without any more debacles.
"I think you know the answer to that" Ashley said pinching my ass and running ahead in front of me.
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
Spencer's POV
Things had been great between Ashley and I. When we got home from the carnival we had decided to make dinner together. Feeling domestic with her was one of the greatest feelings I had ever experienced.
Standing next to her stirring the sauce as I watched her cook the chicken. We were swaying around listening to music trying to enjoy the last moments of peace. Tomorrow was Monday and we were going to have to endure an entire week of school.
In your ocean, I'm ankle deep
I feel the waves crashin' on my feet
It's like I know where I need to be
But I can't figure out, yeah I can't figure out
Immediately when we got home Ashley had called her family lawyer. Apparently when her Dad had dies he was who they used to sue the drunk driver that hit him. Ashley and I didn't really talk about her Dad too often.
She still hadn't quite recovered from his death even though it was over 5 years ago. When stuff had settled down in our lives I would try to get her to open up to me about it.
Just how much air I will need to breathe
When your tide rushes over me
There's only one way to figure out
Will you let me drown, will you let me drown?
We had decided that it didn't matter what people said, she was going to be there for me no matter what.
I know that Ashley will protect me at all costs, but I still have the lingering fear of what would happen if she wasn't with me.
"Baby, what's going on in that pretty little head of yours" Ashley said putting her hands on my hips. I sighed slumping my shoulders, I didn't want her to think that I didn't feel safe with her.
Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees.
I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful
I knew that Ashley felt powerless at times when it came to all the drama going on in my life, and that her protecting me was one of the only things she had.
Ashley loved to be able to calm me and make all my worries fade away. She loved to be able to snake her arms around my waist at night and pull me close to her. She loved seeing my worries and fears fade away as her face was pressed into my neck.
And the water is rising quick
And for years I was scared of it
We can't be sure when it will subside
So I won't leave your side, no I can't leave your side.
"Yeah baby, I'm fine, just tired I guess" I said pouring the sauce over the chicken and pasta. I stirred it all together and turned the stove off.
I turned around to look Ashley in the eyes to try and convince her that I was fine. She stared me in the eyes for a second before picking me up and throwing me over her shoulder.
I squealed and kicked my feet in protest but Ashley was having none of it. She gripped me tighter and ran us upstairs.
Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees.
I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful
Once we got into her room she threw me down on the bed and began to tickle me. I was writhing around underneath me and I could see that it was turning her on. She momentarily stopped tickling me and she was just staring at my eyes with a goofy smile across her face.
She shook her head to clear away what I can imagine was a very dirty image. She moved her hands to my stomach and began to tickle me agin until I was begging for mercy.
In a daydream, I couldn't live like this.
I wouldn't stop until I found something beautiful.
When I wake up, I know I will have
No, I still won't have what I need.
Something Beautiful
"Look baby, I know you are nervous about tomorrow. There will be times when I am not with you but Kyla and Chelsea are there for you too. I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that you never hurt like that again." Ashley was staring into my eyes and I knew that she meant every word of it.
I could feel tears starting to brim in my eyes as I thought about how much this girl truly cared for me.
"Thank you" was all I was able to get out before the tears began to fall.
Ashley curled up next to me and I buried my face in her neck.
"I feel like we spend more time in this bed than anywhere else" I said laughing. I heard her giggle in response pulling me closer to her.
I looked up into her eyes and saw that she was wearing a smirk on her face.
"What are you thinking about" I asked smiling up at her. She just shook her head and looked down into my eyes.
"I was just thinking of how many other things we could be doing in this bed" she said shyly looking away. I reached up and seared my lips against hers taking control of the kiss.
I loved seeing the cocky side of Ashley come out. I knew that we were in it together and that she really was going to protect me.
Hey now this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
Cause I am down on my knees
I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful
