Author's Note: Right well, sorry about the delay. Funny how life chooses to happen when you're trying to write fanfiction. The style of the story has changed a bit. They girls had gotten to talk about things, so now there's more banter (witty, I hope) and things begin to happen. Hope everyone likes it. Thanks for the lovely reviews.


The drive back to Ashley's, while almost as quiet as the ride out, held none of the earlier tension. Ashley drove with one hand, refusing to let go of Spencer's hand for even a second. It made it difficult getting into the vehicle but the sound of Spencer's laughter as Ashley climbed over the passenger seat in desperation had made it all worthwhile. They had decided to simply raid Ashley's house for junk food instead of getting something substantial. The sooner Ashley got home the better.

Spencer was back to watching her drive but whenever Ashley would glance over, Spencer would look down, a blush staining her light cheeks. I guess now that we've had that heart to heart she's back to being the shy one. Either that or she's afraid I might be able to figure out what she's thinking. Ashley couldn't help but grin.

For her own part, Ash felt as if a giant weight had been lifted off her shoulders. Just by getting her fears out to Spencer, and of course Spencer not running away when confronted with them, she felt almost 100 percent better about life. She gently squeezed the blonde's hand.

When they arrived at Ashley's she very reluctantly let go of Spencer's hand but then preceded to try and open every door for her.

"Wow Ash. One little talk and you're acting like you're gonna get lucky tonight," Spencer grinned.

Ashley stared at the beauty in front of her. "I am lucky."

"Oh for the love of…lay off the cheese Ashley!" Spencer groaned. "I don't melt for sweet talkers. Which is how you managed to land me."

Ashley grinned. "I'm so glad your dad is letting you spend the night. In fact, I think I love your father. Would it be weird for me to send him flowers?"

The credits for The Princess Bride were rolling by the time Ashley realized Spencer hadn't said a word since the fire swamp. Ashley leaned back on the couch (where they had decided to watch the movie, too lazy to carry all the junk food to the bedroom) and put her arm around the younger girl's shoulders.

"If you're feeling ill, you can't say you weren't warned about those marshmallows. I told you it wasn't safe."

Spencer shifted her body so she was looking at Ashley. "So when are you going to do it?"

Ashley felt warmth flow through her body at those words. She knew exactly what Spencer was talking about but Spencer had made her open up about her feelings today. Now it was time for Ashley to have some fun.
"Do what?" she asked, playing innocent.

"You know what! We've talked, you know how I feel, I've give you ever opening. Be like Nike Ashley, just do it!"

Ashley merely raised her eyebrow.

Spencer jumped to her feet, pulling Ashley up with her. She pressed her body against the older girl and looked deep into her eyes, her breathing getting shallow.

"Ashley, kiss me." It wasn't a plea. It wasn't a question. It was a demand.

All thoughts of teasing Spencer flew from Ashley's mind. All thoughts in general flew from Ashley's mind. She reacted completely on her desire, cupping Spencer's face and pulling her lips onto hers. She had intended the first kiss to be slow and passionate, but at least she got the passionate part right. Then again, how could being with Spencer be anything but passionate.

Spencer's arms tightened around Ashley and her hands began to rub the girl's lower back which, as usual, wasn't covered by any piece of clothing. Ashley's own hands went to Spencer's hair and she felt the girl moan softly into her mouth as she gently bit on her lip. As much as Ashley never wanted this moment to end, she also didn't want anyone to pass out, so she reluctantly pulled away.

Spencer's eyes remained closed and she had a peaceful smile on her face. Ashley stared at those lips, unable to focus on anything else. There were fireworks going off in her brain, in her whole body in fact.

"Ashley?"

Right. Speaking. What can't those lips do? Ashley thought as she watched Spencer's lips move around her name. Sooo hot.

"Hmmm?"

"Am I still here? Are we still in your house? Cause I don't think it's possible that I didn't just float away in bliss a few seconds ago."

"You're still here Spencer, with me."

Spencer opened her eyes, which seemed brighter than ever before to Ashley. "Then you must have held onto me," she whispered lovingly.

Ashley couldn't keep in the laugh that was building up inside her. She threw herself back onto the couch. "So this is what a moment of perfection feels like."

Instead of answering with words, Spencer sat in Ashley's lap, straddling her legs. She pushed the brown hair off Ashley's face and leaned in to kiss her again. This time the kiss was slow. And this time Spencer's tongue found its way to Ashley. Even after the first kiss, Ashley couldn't help but be surprised by how sweet Spencer tasted. Ashley rubbed her hands up and down Spencer's thighs before again pulling away.

"Let's go to my room."

This time Spencer laughed. "Okay. But you're still not getting lucky."

The minute they got to Ashley's room, the older girl put in a CD.

"Trying to seduce me Davies?"

"No. Well…maybe. This is the CD I made for us. It's a mix of songs that make me think of you, and that make me think of us together. It's my..Ashler or Ashcer mix."

Spencer laughed again. Ashley knew she would never grow tired of that laugh. "Spashley mix."

"Spashley?"

"Yes, Ash. Trust me, Spashley."

"Mmmmm," Ashley said as she did her best sexy walk over to Spencer sitting on her bed. "Sounds perfectly wet."

Spencer's hands reached up and began to trace Ashley's face. Her fingertips ran gently across her lips, her closed eyes, her cheeks, and then she leaned in to kiss her lightly on the nose. "You're beautiful."

Ashley winked. "Yeah, I'm pretty damn hot."

"You've gotten so good at pointing out the obvious! But that's not what I said. You're beautiful. Here…" she ran her hands across Ashley's face again, "and here." She put her hands over Ashley's heart.

"Okay, now who's being cheesy?"

"Thank you for not pushing me away again Ashley."

"Thank you for not running away from my stupid fears Spencer."

"I'm surprised, that you've never been told before that you're lovely and you're perfect and that somebody wants you." Spencer suddenly sang with the music.

Ashley laughed. "Actually, I've been told that a good many times. You'd be surprised by my skills…"

"Shut up and kiss me Davies." Spencer interrupted.

"Yes ma'am!" And she did, a good many times before they laid down for the night, just content to be in each other's arms.

Ashley woke up alone around three in the morning. She eventually found Spencer in the kitchen stuffing a good number of marshmallows into her mouth.

"Hey, slow down there doll, I want to kiss you, not breathe life back into you. What woke you up?"

"Sorry. The marshmallows were just calling to me."

"Oh yeah? And what were they saying?"

"Uhhh…eat me?"

Ashley eyebrows shot to the top of her head and she looked over at Spencer. "Oh yeah? You sure that wasn't me?"

Spencer almost choked and unconsciously licked her lips. "I woke up because I realized I left my computer on at my house and Glen likes to get on it and download porn. He needs a password when the computer's off." Spencer was mumbling, but Ashley caught the drift.

"Okay, so the only way I'm going to get your attention fully back on me is to take you to your house so you can turn off your computer. And clearly throw out these marshmallows."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah. Why not? Mission impossible, Spashley style. And then we can come back here and work on a mission I have for you in my bed."

Spencer grinned. "Let's do it. But Ash? You're still not getting lucky."

Both girls decided to go all out for their little adventure. Ashley pulled out all the black clothes she had and after quickly dressing they drove to Spencer's, laughing with excitement the whole way.

"Shhh, okay, here we are. Man, I've never seen your house this dark."

"Everyone's asleep by now. So how do we get in? Will that credit card thing work on a front door?"

Ashley looked at Spencer incredulously. "Spence babe. This is your house. You don't have a key?"

Spencer blushed. "Right. Sorry, I just sorta got into things." She unlocked the front door and pulled Ashley into the darkness.

Together they slowly walked up the stairs, Ashley quietly humming the theme to mission impossible. And once even stopping to whisper, "You are so much hotter than Tom Cruise" into Spencer's ear.

Spencer was at her bedroom door before she realized Ashley was no longer behind her. Her eyes had adjusted to the darkness enough to see the older girl's shape a few feet back. She backtracked.

"What? Why'd you stop?" she whispered.

"Spencer, kiss me." And even though Spencer had to wonder at the randomness of the demand, there was no way she was going to ignore the desire that was in it. She kissed her hard but short, gently sucking on Ashley's bottom lip as a promise of things to come later.

"You just kissed me in front of your parents bedroom." Ashley whispered. "There are no words to express how hot that is. It's like…I'm corrupting their daughter right in front of them and they can't even do anything about it. If only Paula was in there too."

Spencer felt Ashley grab her hand. "Spence, let's go do it in your bedroom. Now!"

Spencer started to pull Ashley away from her parents bedroom. "Ashley, keep your voice down! And no, we're here for a quick in and out."

"I can do that! Honest, I can do a quick in and out."

"Ashley," Spencer admonished, "do you really want our first time to be a quick in and out?"

"At the moment, yeah." Ashley whimpered.

"Stop being a horny teenager."

"Stop kissing me in front of your parents bedroom!"

"Hey, you told me to. And I had no idea how you would react."

"In my defense, neither did I." Ashley grumbled in defeat.

By this time Spencer had turned off her computer. And together they started back downstairs. This time though, Spencer stopped by her parents door and grabbed Ashley kissing her quick on the lips and then running her tongue down her neck gently biting where she stopped. Ashley swore she could see the grin on the blonde's face as she then turned and skipped down the stairs. "Ooooh, you tease." Ashley breathed, following.

She had just reached the bottom of the stairs, Spencer reaching for the door, when the door opened on its own. Spencer jumped back in surprise, running into Ashley who grabbed her to try and steady the girl. But Spencer quickly jumped out of Ashley's arms.

"Mom?"
