Chapter 24

I can't sleep because of everything running through my mine. I look over towards Ashley, and she is asleep soundly. I'm glad she is, so she won't see me crying. The water works haven't stopped since we got home. I did however manage to hold off crying long enough for her to fall asleep. I just don't want her to feel sorry for me. I am positive she doesn't, but I would hate her to start.

Looking over at the clock again, I realize that is already 3am. I am going to be hating life tomorrow at work. Sighing I roll over and snuggle close to my baby. I love the way she smells of cucumber melon lotion. I think that is my new favorite scent. Taking a deep breath, I relax and fall asleep safe in my lover's arms.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

I wake to the sound of an alarm clock being smashed against a wall. She is so not a morning person. She looks back at me with a shy pout fixed to her face.

"Sorry. I hate beeping."

Chuckling a little while leaning up on my elbows "It's ok I hate it too."

"Really" she said while moving, so she is now sitting on my lap.

"Yep. Baby you know..." I was silenced by her lips crashing into mine.

Our tongues battled for dominance with each other neither one backing down. I felt her had sneaking under my wife beater. I shivered at the touch of her cold finger tips on my warm stomach. I snaked my arms around her grabbing her butt with both hands squeezing. Her eyes shot open before closing again to enjoy my hands claiming her body as my own. I worked my hands up her back removing her shirt as I went while she did the same to me. She pulled mine off first but her's follow closely behind. Our naked upper torsos came together with my back on the bed and Ashley on top. I'm pretty sure there wasn't an centimeter of space between us at this point. I could feel my center pooling at her ministrations of my breast. I want her so bad right now. I looked over at the clock and sighed. I have to be at work in a hour an half. Damn it! I pushed her off me. It took a lot of will power believed me.

"Ash. Ash, baby I have to get ready for work" She look at me with her brown eyes complete black with lust. I think I could cum just from the sight of her at this point.

She leaned back down and whispered "call in please".

"I can't. We just got back from our vacation, and plus it would look really bad. I'm sorry" I gave her chaste kiss on the lips. "I'm gonna go take shower really quick". I stopped her before she could say what I knew was coming out of her mouth "no Ash. I need to take a quick shower by myself."

"You sure Spence?" She was sucking on my pulse point now. Damn her for knowing my weakness. I let out a low moan before finally getting out of bed to take a shower. A cold shower.

"I'm sure."

The shower felt great like I was washing away all the bad and my life so far. I'm starting my life anew.

Five months later...

Ash and I are half way through our senior year. We applied for the same colleges and everything. I just hope I get a scholarship because I can't afford college without it. Ash assured me that I would go to even if she had to pay for it herself. I really don't want her to waste her inheritance on me. I know it is a lot, but I would feel like charity case.

Anyway I'm sure your wondering about the court cases and all. Well lets just say that Stan is hating life right now. He was sent back to prison again. He will not eligible for parole for another five years. I hope he is someone's bitch by the name of Tiny. I can only hope, but I don't really waste my time thinking about him. He is so not worth it.

Paula received two months community service and a thousand dollar fine or two months in jail. I think she had to take the two months in jail because Stan's lawyers took all the money she had. I hope she got a taste of her on medicine. I did find out that she was forced to move in with her sister after she was released. I also heard that she is having a hard time finding a job too. Jessica said that they are probably going to move away as soon as she fines work.

I still talk to my sisters every once and awhile, but I haven't fully forgiven them for the ambush. They haven't come by the house though. I think it hasn't something to do with Paula, so I only see them at school. They sit with us every once and awhile.

Ash and I are sitting underneath our favorite tree for lunch again. Ashley is sitting behind me with her arms wrapped around my waist, and her chin resting on my shoulder while I feed the both us.

"Spence do you think that we will here from any of the colleges we applied to today?"

"I hope. I'm so excited."

"Well wherever you go I will follow babe" I gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"I know. Thank you for that too. I was so scared we where going to be separated"

"Don't forget we have to go apartment hunting as soon as we know where we're going too" she smiled.

"Can't wait" she pulled me closer hugging me tightly.

The bell rang signaling the end of lunch. Standing up we gave each a hug and a quick but passionate kiss on the lips with just a little bit of tongue. We so didn't need to get busted for PDA again. I really think that only single us out because we are the only gay couple at school. Most of the school's students are accepting unlike the faculty.

After school we raced home to check the mail. I can't believe our future is riding on two single letters. Once at home we hoped out the car and head directly to the mail box. Ash opened it up to reveal four different letters from four different colleges for us. She collected them and we headed inside to open them together.
