Spencer tilts her head; "She's only leaving for Spring Break."
Ashley snaps, "Darn it."
Spencer rolls her eyes playfully, "I thought you were gonna try to be nicer to her."
"I am. Just not to her face."
Spencer shakes her head, "That's my friend."
Ashley smiles, "That's fine. She can be your friend and I can be your girlfriend."
Spencer leans in close to Ashley like she's about to kiss her, "Nope." Spencer stands up and grabs her purse and coffee.
Ashley feels so bummed out, "You suck so bad." She stands up by Spencer, "That was just so wrong."
Spencer smiles cutely, "I guess I'm just a bad person."
Ashley laughs, "You wouldn't kill a fly."
Spencer says walking toward her locker, "That may be right but I can still be bad."
Ashley follows next to Spencer, "I'd love to be there when that happens."
"You may be." Spencer says flirtatiously.
Ashley stops as Spencer keeps walking, "Are we talking about something else?"
Spencer stops and smiles at Ashley, "Come on." Then starts walking to her locker again.
Ashley shakes her head and runs to catch up with her. I wonder if she'll let me kiss her. I mean we've been pretty good these past weeks. Although, she didn't ask me about that one day when we all were at Aiden's that morning… Ashley thinks as she walks,"Sogot any plans today?" she says stopping with Spencer at her locker.
"Um, well, I have this thing called school."
Ashley waves her hand with a flick of the wrist, "School's for losers."
Spencer leans on her locker before opening it, "You're here."
Ashley thinks about it for a second, "That's not the point." Spencer shakes her head, "So you still never answered my question."
Spencer opens her locker, "Well, I don't know. It's the beginning of Spring Break, I was just gonna sleep today." Spencer grabs a book out of her locker then closes it.
"No. No." Ashley says plain and simple.
Spencer looks at Ashley and raises her eyebrows, "Well, what am I doing?"
"You're gonna come back to my place and help me with some stuff." Ashley says confidently like Spencer wouldn't dare say "no".
"What stuff?" Spencer asks.
"You'd just have to come to my house and see, right?" Ashley says being a little bratty.
"You love to have your way, you little brat." Spencer says.
Ashley walks up closer to Spencer, "If I had my way, I'd be with you."
Spencer looks Ashley in the eye, "And if I had my way… you wouldn't be messing with Aiden."
"I'm not. We haven't really hung out since you saw us that morning."
Spencer still looks Ashley in the eyes, "I find it funny how you told me you loved me and then that same night you slept with Aiden."
Ashley shakes her head; "I didn't sleep with him. Well, I did but not in the way you think I did." Spencer walks over to the closest bench to her locker. Ashley sits by her still talking; "You're not going to listen to me are you?"
Spencer takes a sip of her coffee, "I am listening." She chuckles a little, "I'm right here."
Ashley continues, "Okay. So after I saw you and Carmen at Gray's I lost it. I went back home and starting killing my punching bag—"
Spencer interrupts, "So that's why your knuckles were red that morning?"
"Yeah. You noticed?" Ashley asks falling farther in love with Spencer, if that's possible.
"Yeah, I thought it had something to do with the rough night you and Aiden had. I mean you were wearing the same clothes… I just didn't wanna talk to you." She takes another sip of her coffee.
Ashley waves her arms, "No. I went crazy on that bag then Kyla came in to talk to me. She started asking me questions on why you and I broke up which lead to Aiden. I told her everything about—" Ashley watches Spencer's face and notices it's tensing up. "I told her everything then we got into a argument and she hated me at that moment. She told me she wished she could jump off a building and take me with her…"
"Wow. That's harsh."
"Yeah, I know. I told her that. So she disowned me at that moment and I cried for, like, an hour. That's why I didn't answer when you called me." She pauses then starts again, "That's when I got up and borrowed my mom's Jack Daniels and drove over to your house."
Spencer raises her eyebrows; "You never came to my house."
Ashley nods her head, "Yes, I did. I never came in though. I saw another car and I assumed it was Carmen so I just scratched the idea. I mean, you already hated me—"
"I never hated you and I never will." Spencer says defensively.
Ashley smiles, "Well, I never came in. I went to the next best thing. I mean Kyla hated me and I don't have a dad to call anymore. So I went over to Aiden's with tears running down my face and he took me."
"So you did have sex with him?"
Ashley shakes her head to emphasize her point, "No. That's not how I meant. I mean he took me in and I drank myself silly."
"And y'all didn't do anything."
Ashley looks Spencer in the eyes, "He told me all we did was make out…"
Spencer doesn't know how to feel about this, "Oh."
"I was drunk but I wasn't so drunk that I would have sex with him. I wouldn't do that. I'm sure I was thinking of you when we made out." Ashley pauses to see if Spencer would say something, "And then that's when I called you, I think. I woke up that morning not even knowing I called you, I had to look at my phone. He had to tell me that we made out. I felt so bad that morning, between the booze, the headache, Aiden, and… us." I made sure to say that last so she knows that I regret that the most.
Spencer sips her coffee, "Sounds like a hell of a night slash morning." She jokes.
Ashley narrows her eyes, "Spencer, I want you."
Spencer shakes her head from side to side, "No, you don't know what you want."
"Yes, I do. I know I want you." Ashley leans in to kiss Spencer.
Spencer fights with herself on rather she should kiss her or not. No, I can't do this all over again. I don't even know how I feel about the whole Aiden thing still. What about Carmen? When she comes back she's gonna find that Ashley and me are together or we kissed. Spencer freezes time in her head and looks into Ashley's eyes. But I love her so much. We've been separated for weeks and I put up a great front but not when she's looking like this and acting like this. I've been dying these past weeks. But nothing could change the way I feel about her… Spencer kisses Ashley back with just as much force as Ashley. They kiss until the bell rings for first period to begin. At that moment Spencer wakes up from out of her trance of heaven.
Ashley stares at Spencer longingly, "I love you."
Spencer's mouth is still open but she knows what she feels, "I—"
"Spencer!" a voice screams from the left side of Spencer.
Spencer quickly turns her head, "Mom." She stands up quickly.
Ashley looks at Paula and stands up just as fast. Paula walks over to the girls and narrows her eyes at Ashley, "What are you doing?" directing her question at Spencer.
"I was going to class." Spencer says with her heart racing fast. Perfect time, Paula. Ashley thinks while narrowing her eyes back at Paula.
Paula now looks at Spencer, "How do you go to class with Ashley sucking on your face?"
Spencer's heart races faster, "Mom, I—"
"I thought you saved this sin for home. I didn't know you committed it at school, too."
"There's nothing wrong with it, Paula. It's what people call love." Ashley says fed up with Spencer's mom.
"I wasn't talking to you, Ashley. It would do me a great favor if you would stay out of matters involving my daughter and I. Meaning this is none of your business."
Ashley sucks in air through her teeth, "Yes, it does. I love Spencer and you saying this kind of stuff hurts her which in turn hurts me."
"The way you love her… it's not love. It's lust. It's sinful lust."
Ashley gets in Paula's face, "And what about cheating on your husband? Isn't that a sin, too?" Ashley smiles at her win against the evil bitch mom.
Paula looks appalled then slaps Ashley. Spencer gasps, "Mom!" she yells.
Ashley jumps on Paula and gets ready to punch her right in the face… but Glen and Aiden run over to break it up. Glen grabs Ashley off of his mom and Aiden helps Paula up. "Get off of me!" Ashley yells throwing her arms around in fits of rage while Glen holds onto her.
Aiden holds onto Paula, "You have no manners, you little sinner!" Paula yells to Ashley as she lets Aiden know he can let go.
"And you're a bad mother." Ashley snaps back.
Paula narrows her eyes then looks at Spencer, "You're coming home with me, now."
Spencer pleads to Paula, "Mom, I have class today…"
Paula fixes her shirt, "Well, we'll come back and get your homework over break."
Ashley calms down and breaks away from Glen, "Oh chill out, Paula, it's not like she's pregnant. We'd have to go through a lot to get pregnant, now wouldn't we?"
"My daughter is not a lesbian. She's not like you, how many times do we have to go over this?" Paula says grabbing Spencer's arm and pulling her close.
Ashley smiles, "Until you finally get it through your head that we love each other. And last I checked love didn't have a requirement on it. There's no sign that says one of us and only one has to have a penis." Glen gives a little smirk to Ashley's comment.
"Well, my daughter is never lying in sin with you. You are forbidden to see her." Paula says then turns to walk to her car. Spencer gives Ashley sorry eyes then mouths the words; "I love you."
Ashley screams after Paula, "How do you know we haven't already lied in sin?" she screams not expecting an answer.
