Chapter 34

Ashley's POV

My life was changing and it was changing for the good.. I was with the person I loved and I was happy with, I had a job and it seemed that what happened the last years it was already gone.. But it never is completely.. It's like a rock in the bottom of the sea.. It blurs the water in the beginning but it's stays there forever..

I haven't seen Aiden the months I was living with Spencer.. I did meet Rwanda though two times a week but not inside the home.. Anywhere but there.. I was asking about him, how he was, how was everything.. I cared about him and the reason I was staying all this long with him was because I couldn't leave like that.. I couldn't do it to him after everything that he did for me..

The first month it was difficult because I didn't want for Spencer to take care of me.. My parents did that and then Aiden.. I wanted to be the one who could pay for her own food, her own clothes, to be able to buy something for Spencer..

Spencer was supporting all these months.. She even helped me with my decision to find a job.. I couldn't do anything really.. It's not that I went to a university like her.. I wanted to though.. I wanted to be able to study something I liked but I couldn't.. Not right now that is.. So I found a job to a clothing store not very far away from where we were living.. It was a nice place and when they saw me they gave me the job right away.. I was what they said 'what they were looking for'..

My relationship with Spencer was still in the still knowing each other.. We weren't together together as a couple.. It's not that I didn't want to be her girlfriend but she was right.. In order for us to be together again we had to know each other from the beginning.. There were some kisses every now and then but as many I wanted..

"Ash.. Are you home?"

"In the kitchen" she came from behind me and gave me a kiss on my cheek like she did every time she was coming home.. "How was your day?"

"Exhausting.."

"When is it not?"

"Mmm.. It smells nice.. What are you cooking?"

"You will find out once you sit down and eat.. Can you please lay the table?"

"Of course.. I am hungry.."

"It will be ready soon.."

In twenty minutes the food was ready and we were ready to eat.. Spencer more than me.. I made steak with peppers, mushrooms and rice and macaroni and cheese.. I knew she liked it..

"Ash.. You are really good with cooking.. You should do it professionally.."

"Nah.. I don't think I am that good.. You just love me and you think I am good.." she looked at me with that look I came to know so well and answered me with the sweeter voice she had..

"Of course I love you.. But you are a good cook as well.."

I wanted to ask her so many times when we would be ready to be together again.. When she would kiss me again like I am hers.. To claim me and make me hers.. But Spencer was hurt and I could understand that.. Sometimes I think she doesn't trust me enough.. And how can I blame her? I was telling her to wait for me for a long time..

"What are you thinking?"

"You"

"And what about me?"

"You have the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen.."

"Mmm.. Lets just say I believe you.."

"Spence.."

"Hmmm..?" I looked at her waiting for her to look at me back..

"I love you.. I don't think I ever loved someone the way I love you.. And thank you for giving me another chance.. For waiting for me.. And if it takes forever for us to be together again I'll wait.. I would wait for you.."

She looked at me and touched my hand.. She played with my fingers and brought them to her lips kissing each and every one of them.. She put my palm on her cheek and then kissed the inside..

"I love you Ash.. And I think that we waited enough.. Forever is a big word you know.."

"What are you saying?" she didn't answer me.. Instead she kissed me on my lips.. A kiss I wanted, a kiss I craved for the last 6 months.. "Are we.. You and I?"

"Yes.." I jumped literally in her arms and kissed her the same way she kissed me seconds ago.. A long, sensual kiss.. "Now tell me about your day Ms Davies.."

After eating and washing the dishes with Spencer drying them we went to the living room and cuddled.. We both didn't want anything to be fast but not as slow as it was before.. We didn't want to rash things.. To fall in each other arms and make love right there.. As much as I could feel she wanted to.. And let me tell you that I wanted the same as well..

We stayed there kissing and cuddling till I felt Spencer shifting and yawing.. When she was at the hospital a whole day she was coming home very tired and right about this time she was ready to sleep..

"I think its time for you missy to go to bed.."

"Hmmm.. not yet.."

"Spence.. You need to.. Ok? Come on.. We occupy your bed.."

"Can I sleep with you tonight?"

"Spence.. It's your bed.. If you want to.."

"I just want it to be our bed.."

"I would love that.."

It would be the first time we would sleep together on the same bed after the first time we made love almost a year ago.. I would feel her against my body again, her intoxicate sent.. I helped her to get up and while she was in the bathroom brushing her teeth I was in the room changing to my pjs.. And when she came back I was the one doing the same routine and coming back to the room finding her under covers, her face looking at the door but her eyes closed..

"Are you sleeping?"

"Not yet.. Waiting for you.." she said with a sleepy voice and her eyes closed.. I laid right next to her, looking at her, her hair falling in her beautiful face.. I moved them a little bit and put them behind her ear giving her a kiss on her lips..

"Goodnight Spence.."

"Goodnight Ash.."

I slept with a smile on my face.. A smile that the girl right next to me was putting on my face every day..

Next morning I woke up and she wasn't right next to me.. Instead I found a red rose and a note..

"Goodmorning sweetie.. Have a beautiful day at work.. In a few hours I'll be home and I'll see your beautiful face and kiss your luscious lips..

Yours,

S

xx"

I hated when she was waking up early to go to work.. I hated those shifts because I couldn't say a proper goodmorning to her.. And as every morning she had a coffee already for me.. I took a shower and got ready for work..

I was working at Coco's Chanel store in 5th Avenue, the street where the new hot stuff in clothes where.. The store was kind of knew and a lot of ladies of the upper side Manhattan where coming to shop.. Some times unfortunately people from my past would come and hunt me.. Like today.. When I saw Aiden and he was here with another woman.. There weren't many people working here and I had to act as a professional and go ask him what I could do for him.. Of course when he saw me he looked at me like he didn't know me.. He was surprised..

"Hello.."

"Ashley?"

"Hello Aiden.. How are you?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Working.."

"Excuse me miss.. I want to see that dress over there.. Size 3 ?" the woman right next to him said..

"Of course.." she was the opposite of me.. Blond, brown eyes, snob, taller than me.. Once I gave her the dress to try Aiden held my wrist for me not to leave..

"I haven't seen you all this long.. I know you meet with Rwanda but all she says when I ask for you is that you are good.. You seem like you are"

"I am.. I am doing great.."

"Good.. Ehm.. Are you.. With her?"

"Aiden.. Please.. It's the place to ask me those questions.."

"I know.. All I wanted to say is that I am sorry for the way I treated you.. But I was angry.."

"I understand.. Aiden.. I want us to talk one day.. There are some things we need to discuss.."

"Yes, of course.. Come by the house when you are free.."

"I will.."

"Aiden honey, I am going to buy this dress.. It's 50 dollars.. Very good price for a Chanel. Miss, we are buying it.."

"It's a beautiful dress.."

I gave it to the girl at the cashier and I watched Aiden as he was coming out from the store.. I expected to see him and actually for him to flip again.. But he was different.. He seemed different.. In a good way.. And as I told him we needed to discuss some things around our marriage.. Legally I was still Mrs Ashley Dennison.. And I didn't want to be..
