Chapter 8
"Are you ready for this?"
Spencer looked over at the girl who just spoke. "You know Ash, if I didn't have a test I would totally want us to just skip and spend the day together. Alone."
Ashley rolled her eyes. "You are such a sped! You just said that because you knew it would torture me all day, thinking about what we could have been doing."
"Ashley, you're always thinking about what you could be doing to my body, nothing else," Spencer moaned getting out of the vehicle.
Ashley followed her out. "Not true! I have spent a fair amount of time thinking about what you could do to my body as well."
Spencer laughed nervously and grabbed Ashley's hand. "Ash? I just…I wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me over the weekend. This is probably our last moment of sanity before going into school and I just wanted you to know how much it…how much you…mean to me. I'm having a really hard time here," Spencer let out another laugh and ran her hand through her hair. "Okay, you know the song 'I Could Get Used to This' by the Veronicas?"
Ashley shook her head no.
"Well look it up sometime. That's my song for you. It says everything I'm having trouble saying," Spencer finally finished.
Ashley looked deep in thought. Finally she said, "Look After You, by the Fray. That is my song for you today," she grinned, "Since we're in the business of telling each other how we feel through song. Now come on my Sped."
Spencer held onto Ashley's hand as they walked into school. As she glanced down at their intertwined fingers she felt a little light headed. This really is happening she thought. Just when she was sure nothing could ruin this, she caught sight of a certain someone heading their direction.
"Holy Crack-Ho, Spencer!" she said warning the younger girl.
"Good morning Madison," Spencer greeted sweetly, letting go of Ashley's hand.
Ashley felt her heart sink, until she felt Spencer's hand relocate in the back pocket of her very tight jeans.
" I didn't realize the gay pride parade was on its way through this morning," Madison smirked.
Ashley turned to Spencer, "Madison's just angry because I scored the hotter Carlin."
"Anger is a common emotion in people Glen has dated. As well as disgust, bitterness…" Spencer agreed.
"So I guess it's true what they say about you Spencer, so desperate for a hook up, anyone who shows you a little bit of attention is fair game. Doesn't matter if they have a girlfriend, or if they would have to be your girlfriend. Anything for a little action."
Ashley felt Spencer's body tense up next to her. "I have to get to class.," she mumbled, trying to disengage from Ashley's pants. AsSpencer walked awayAshley felt her anger build.
"She has enough shit going on at home. Why do you have to be a bitch and add to it?" she growled.
Madison glared. "We all have problems. I'm not going to coddle her just because she's your bed mate now. It won't last anyway," she leaned in closer until she was right by Ashley's ear, "and I'll make sure of that."
Ashley didn't run across Spencer again until lunch. She spotted the beauty sitting alone at a table reading a book, unaware of all the appreciative glances she received from everyone passing by. That was one of the things Ashley loved about Spencer. She had no idea how amazing she really was. She was humble. And I wouldn't know humble if it came up and bitch slapped me. She was still drinking in the sight when Aiden appeared next to her.
"So you two finally got it together huh?"
Ashley smiled. "She is amazing isn't she?" she agreed. Then she noticed the shadow that crossed Aiden's face. "I'm sorry. I know how much you liked her. This is the problem with being friends with a lesbian, you might fall for the same girl."
Aiden just shrugged. "She was just knew blood. Something sweet and innocent for a change. Nothing special."
"Nothing special!" Ashley grabbed Aiden's face and turned it so he was looking at Spencer. "Just look at that."
Spencer was now talking to someone at another table. Her head was slightly tilted in the way that became synonymous with her very personality. She let out a loud laugh and grinned, shaking her head. As she went back to her book she bit her lip in concentration. Ashley glanced back at Aiden who suddenly looked a little too absorbed in what he was seeing.
"Stop. Stop looking at that. Aiden!" Ashley yelled, calling his attention back to her. "She's mine now."
He just winked and together they walked over to the blonde.
"Can I ask you two a question?" he asked as they sat down. Ashley sat as close to Spencer as she could, feeling her heart swell as the younger girl smiled sweetly at her.
"Can we stop you?" Spencer countered.
"What's so great about lesbians?"
Ashley had the sudden urge to jump across the table and throttle the boy. She tensed waiting for Spencer to jump from the table screaming off into the sun. But Spencer merely laughed and looked at Ashley. I'm sorry, Ashley mouthed, before turning to back Aiden.
"Says the boy who's watched Lesbian Spank Inferno how many times now?"
"Okay, I know what's good about lesbians, I'm asking what's so good about being one."
"I assume you merely mean physical perks."
Aiden just raised his eyebrows.
"Well one perk is that you're never unsure of what to do in bed. The plumbing you practice on is the plumbing you'll be working with," Ashley said after a moment of thought.
"More breasts," Spencer said from behind her book.
Ashley began to cough. Spencer looked up at her concerned. "Are you okay?"
"Breasts?" Ashley managed to get out.
"Yeah, two girls, four breasts. The more the merrier."
"Breasts? Spencer, you're a breast girl? I had no idea." Ashley felt herself redden as Spencer proceeded to blatantly check her out.
"Clearly you haven't looked in a full body mirror lately," she responded, biting her lip again.
Ashley moved even closer to Spencer, her face inches away. "Miss Carlin, are you hitting on me?"
Spencer's eyes dropped to Ashley's lips as she licked her own. "Only if it's working," she said, her voice getting lower.
"Wildest…fantasies…coming…true…" Aiden interrupted.
Spencer sighed and dropped her head onto Ashley's shoulder. Ashley slowly looked over at Aiden with murder in her eyes. "Are you kidding me?"
"I'm sorry," the boy mumbled, "but if that kept going any further, I was going to have to run to the bathroom."
"Ewww!" Spencer groaned, still pressed against Ashley's shoulder. "Mmmm, my girlfriend smells good."
Ashley began to cough again. "What?"
"What?"
"Sidebar," Ashley yelled, pulling Spencer away from the table. "You just called me you girlfriend."
"I'm sorry?" Spencer said, looking confused.
"No! I mean, we hadn't said anything…I just assumed, but to hear you say it…" Ashley began to giggle as she sat back down at the table. "Girlfriend," she informed Aiden.
"So I heard."
"Girlfriend," Ashley sighed again.
"Hey, let's get out of here," Spencer suddenly said.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, you and me. Let me go put this in my locker, but then let's blow this joint. I want to spend some time alone with my girlfriend."
Ashley couldn't wipe the grin from her face as Spencer walked away. "That's my girlfriend," she once again informed Aiden as she watched Spencer put an extra sway in her hips.
"I've never seen you like this before Ashley," Aiden said appreciatively.
"I've never felt this way before," Ashley sighed. Her happy thoughts were once again interrupted by the appearance of Madison. This time she was walking next to Spencer. The two girls appeared to be arguing. Ashley frowned as Spencer's eyes shot up and looked at her questioningly. Spencer then just shook her head and broke away from Madison.
"Let's go Ash."

The ended up going to the beach. They found the most secluded place they could and Ashley laid down a blanket before plopping herself down on it.
"What happened with Madison?" she finally asked.
"I don't want to talk about it," Spencer said, lying down next to the girl. She put her head on Ashley's shoulder and kissed the tip of her nose. "There are much better things to do then talk about her right now."
"Did we bring any water with us? Because suddenly I'm feeling a little dehydrated."
"You know, back in Ohio, I used to run track as well as being a cheerleader," Spencer began.
"So you're saying you have good stamina and you can a loud voice? Hot," Ashley interrupted.
Spencer went on, ignoring the older girl, "So I learned how to keep myself hydrated on hotter days. Open your mouth."
Ashley did as she was instructed and Spencer leaned into her and gave her a deep kiss, her tongue fully exploring Ashley's mouth, practically filling her up with all that was Spencer. Ashley lost herself for a moment in the feeling of Spencer's tongue. Ashley was no innocent, she'd experienced a good many tongues in her time, from both sexes, but Spencer's was the sweetest most perfect thing she had ever come across. Oh god, come across…and that very thought just turned me on incredibly. Soon I can mean that in every way.
As Spencer left Ashley's mouth she moved down to lightly suck on her neck. Her hand danced across Ashley's stomach. Ashley's experience of touch was heightened. Every pass of the hand, every lick of her tongue (even only on her neck) sent shivers down her body.
Spencer gently bit at her ear. "I want you so badly," she whispered. Finally Ashley reacted.
She turned over pulling Spencer into another kiss, situating herself so now she was on top. She kissed down the blonde's neck and reached under her shirt to cup her breast. Spencer moaned her name and Ashley felt she had never heard anything hotter in her life.
"I love you," she whispered.
The words didn't have the affect she was hoping for though as Spencer suddenly froze.
"Stop," she mumbled, refusing to look at Ashley.
"What? Why?" Ashley felt her blood still pumping, as she got off Spencer.
"We're on the beach, we shouldn't do this here, anyone could come walking by at any moment," Spencer replied, still not looking at Ashley, but slowly moving away.
"No, don't lie to me Spencer. You promised me you never would. You stopped when I said…when I said what I said. Why?" Ashley was suddenly very afraid.
Spencer was silent for a moment then look Ashley hard in the face. "Why did you say it?"
"Because I meant it."
Spencer looked away again. "Madison said the only time you ever tell someone you love them is when you're…when you're about to get something in return." Ashley heard Spencer's voice breaking.
"Madison…Madison? What the fuck does she know about it?"
"She said Aiden told her."
"And you believed her?"
Spencer made eye contact again, her eyes dark. "No. But you can't say that's not what just happened here."
Ashley felt her heart break. Spencer really couldn't think she didn't mean it. Not with her. "I know. But that doesn't mean I meant it any less."
Ashley watched as tears finally began to flow down Spencer's face. "I know Ash. It just hurt to have Madison be able to call exactly when you would say those words to me for the first time. This whole thing is probably irrational but, I'm trying to balance a family that's falling apart, a new relationship, a new city, new everything right now. I'm an open wound. You deserve better."
"Shut up, Carlin. Your brother has the market cornered on stupid statements. Come here," Ashley opened her arms and enveloped Spencer into a hug. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, Ashley kept yelling at herself in her head. That sat like that, in silence until Ashley decided it was time to take Spencer home.
Fuck you Madison. The gloves are coming off.
