A/N: Hello all! Just wanted to say this is the end to this story. This story was never suppose to a long one. I didnt see the need to drag it out. It was a simple love story.

I have a new idea that I'm very excited to start putting down on paper.

Thank you for all your reviews and follows!

I've been sitting at the beach by myself for the past few hours. I guess it is time to finally face the music. I get up and gently dust down my clothes, free them of any sand. As I walk back towards the beach house I notice the sun is shining brighter and it's a lot hotter than it was a few hours ago. I'm guessing it must be after noon or so.

As I approach the beach house I notice that nobody seems to be outside. I climb up the short stairs of the deck and make my way inside. It's quiet.

"Hey you're back." Carmen says coming out from the hallway.

"Yeah. Where's…"

"Gone." What wait? "Ashley. She left. Aiden went to drop her off back at her place in the city."

"How long ago did they leave?"

"Ummm… a few hours ago. Aiden should be back soon." I don't waste any time in pulling out my cell phone and calling Aiden. It rings a few times and goes to voicemail. I don't waste any time and hit the talk button again.

"Hello?"

"AIDEN?"

"Yeah last time I checked."

I ignore this clever remark. I can't believe she left. "Where are you?"

"Pulling into the subdivision right now." I hang up the phone grab my purse and run outside.

"Spencer! What are you doing?" Carmen follows after me.

"I have to go to her. I have to tell her I feel the same way. Why did she leave?"

"She was embarrassed Spencer. You just fled."

I am such an idiot. I hear a call pulling around the corner it, it's then I see Aiden driving Ashley's black Range Rover. I don't give him a change to put the car in park before I'm opening up the door and jumping in.

"Spencer, what are you doing?" Aiden is looking at me like I've grown another head.

"Are you coming?" I roll down my window and yell at Carmen who's still standing in front of the house. She wastes no time climbing in the back seat and shutting the door with a giddy look on her face.

Why are not moving yet? "DRIVE!"

"Okay call me stupid but I don't know where I'm driving or what is going on."

"Ashley. Take me to Ashley's."

Aiden says and does nothing but smile.

"Aiden. Drive!"

"Okay, Okay, but we need to hurry. Ashley keep muttering crazy things like so stupid, plane, beach, tequila, Mexico."

"Aiden, just drive faster." I say annoyed that he even agreed to take her anywhere. He of all people should have known all I needed was a couple hours to digest everything.

"Why did you drive her?" I ask clearly annoyed with my friend.

"Umm, because she said I could borrow her Range Rover for a month. Duh." I roll my eyes.

What was I thinking? I knew the minute Ashley confessed her feelings I wanted her. I want to be with her why did I flee? The whole Madison situation really threw me through a loop. But I agree with Aiden she hasn't really treated me the way she used to. Lately, I've felt her take advantage of our friendship. I hasn't been the same with her since we both graduation from college but we've known each other so long it was hard to ignore history.

People grow older and they grow apart. Madison and I did that but it just took me a long time to realize this. I feel so bad about the way everything went down this morning but it wasn't like I deliberately set out to take her girlfriend from her. I was going to be the bigger person and walk away from the situation. Pretend that the past between Ashley and I didn't even exists.

"Can you please stop thinking so hard? You're giving me a headache." Aiden says looking over at me from the driver's seat.

"I'm sorry. I can't believe she left. I can't believe I wasn't there when she left."

"Chill. What are you going to say when we get there?" I haven't thought of that yet.

I open and close my mouth. I haven't thought about that yet. I just knew I had to get to her. "I don't know yet."

"Oh this should be good." Carmen chimes in from the back seat. I shift around in the front seat to face her.

"I hadn't thought that far. I mean I know I want to give us a chance, but I'm not sure my feelings are where hers are yet." I mean they can't be. Its' been three years. But I have also haven't had any long term girlfriends during that time either. I guess in the back of my head I was comparing them all to her.

They never quiet had that same smile or that deep harmonious chuckle. Or the way her hairs falls in her face while she throws her head back when she's laughing from the gut of her stomach.

"Are we almost there?" I turn back around in my front seat. It feels like I've been in the car of hours. The anticipation of getting there is nearly killing me. My legs are jell-o right now and tapping them on the floor boards aren't helping.

"Five minutes."

Is it sad that I now want Aiden to drive slower? I still haven't planned a speech.

Think Spencer. Think. "I'm just a girl, standing front of another girl asking her to love me." No! You can't steal a Julia Roberts movie line. Shit!

I'm just going to tell her what I feel. I know that when I see her it will all come to me. I'll know what to say. Yeah I'm hoping that is what will happen. Oh please!

I don't want to just stand like a fool in front of her. Then I'll really feel like an idiot!

"We're here." Aiden says parking in front of a mid rise building. Looks like lofts. I don't move. I just look at the building.

"You do know that you have to get out of the car if you plan on getting her back." Why did I bring Carmen along?

I realize a huge breath of air as if it was going to give me the courage I need to open this door. I reach for the door handle. I don't open it yet. I just hold on to it. Then I notice the door opens.

"I just need a minute Aiden."

"No you didn't Spence. I know that look. We didn't drive all this way for you to flake."

"I wasn't going to flake I was just going to…"

"Flake." Carmen says from behind Aiden. When did they both get out of the car?

"Okay. Okay. I can do this." I get out of the car and make my way towards the front door. I turn around.

"Top floor." Carmen says knowing exactly what I was going to ask.

"Good luck." They both say in unison.

I walk into the building and notice it is decorated the same as the beach house. Everything is very modern. I head to the elevators and press the up button. It lights up and I look to the top of the elevator as I see it makes its way down to the bottom from a top floor.

The elevator dings. I am pacing the area waiting for the doors to open up. I finally stop pacing when I hear the elevator reach the bottom floor.

They open up revealing a woman with a suitcase and sunglasses.

"Ashley."

"Spencer? What are you doing…?"

I don't let her finish her sentence. I rush into the elevator and take her face into the palms of my hands and kiss her deeply. I try to convey all my feelings into this one kiss. Her hands get tangled in my hair and slide down to my waist as she pulls me closer into her.

It a kiss like never before. I'm trying to tell her I'm sorry. I need you. I want you. I love you.

I love her?

I pull away and look into her eyes. She's looking at me curiously.

"I love you too. " I whisper out.

Ashley grins and pulls me back into her. We kiss hard and much more hurriedly.

"Told you she wouldn't use a speech." Carmen says. Ashley and I break apart staring at our two best friends watching from just outside the elevator. Carmen leaning against the side of it to keep it open. Aiden pulls out his wallet and hands Carmen a five dollar bill.

We all laugh and I bury my face into Ashley's neck. She pulls away and walks towards Carmen.

"Sorry to cut this party short but…." Ashley pushes Carmen off the evaluator and press the button that closes the doors and hits the button label penthouse.

I can't help but giggle.

"Now where were we?" Ashley comes to me and pushes me against the elevator wall and attacks my lips.
