Thanks everyone for the reviews. Your responses truly warm my heart.
Sorry I couldn't directly respond to your reviews this time. I am in a hurry and it was either post the story without them or wait til morning to post it. I think you all would rather have it now. So here it is :)
I own nothing but my imagination...Casey, Alyssa and of course the amazing Miranda :)
"I knew it, I knew it, I knew it." She was practically jumping up and down. I thought she would be mad when she found out. Apparently I was very wrong. I couldn't help but chuckle at her behavior. I look over at Spencer and she just looks shocked. She quickly re-tied her robe. The same expression on her face when I told her I wanted 'everything' from her. I think I may have fucked up telling her that.
"So are you two going to start talking anytime soon?" She looked over at me first.
"Oh, uh, um." Yep those were the only words I could form at the moment.
She laughed and then looked at Spencer.
"Right, uh. Well.." Spencer at least got more than 2 letter words out.
The phone rang and startled us.
"Uh. I'm going to go get that." Spencer said then practically ran out of the room. That was so not fair. Leaving me here with the inquisitor. Alone…and scared.
I look from a departing Spencer back to Miranda who is still staring at me with one eyebrow raised.
"Well?" She says waiting for answers.
"Well? What do you want to know?" I ask.
"Everything. Well maybe not ev-ery-thing." She wiggles her eyebrows. She did not just do that.
"Like what?" I ask playing dumb.
"For starters how about you tell me why you felt you had to lie to me?" She looks upset now.
"I didn't lie to you I swear." I put both of my hands to my heart.
"Oh no." She says with a frown. "Ashley what happened?" Before I know what is going on she walks over to me, kneels down and turns my face to the left.
"Who did this to you?" Her voice aches and her eyes are sad.
Oh right. My lip. I had forgotten.
"Ashley, who did this to you?" She raised her voice and just then Spencer walked out of the kitchen. She looked upset too.
"My mother. She showed up after you guys left last night. She wanted money and I wouldn't give her any. I said some things she didn't like and she responded by remodeling my face." I laughed. She didn't.
"Ash. It's not funny." Miranda said. A few tears escaped from her eyes and slid slowly down her cheek.
I smoothed away her tears and pulled her into a hug.
"I'm sorry. I'm okay though. My dad is going to take care of it. Of her." I reassured her. She pulled back and I could see the hurt in her eyes. It killed her to see me like this and it killed me to see her hurting for me. I hate my mother.
We sat back on the couch very close to one another. Spencer was still standing in the doorway of the kitchen. She had her head leaned again the frame and her eyes looked watery.
"I wish I could have been there. I would have made her look worse." Miranda said.
"So I do look hideous?" I glared at Spencer and she pursed her lips trying not to smile.
"No Ash. You look beautiful as always." Miranda says and smiles big.
"You are both full of shit." I shook my head and laughed. Then I covered my face with my hands. They started laughing with me.
"So are you guys ready to talk?" Miranda asks looking back and forth at the both of us.
"Sure." Spencer said. I just nod.
"Let me go put something on first." She walked out of the room and up to hers.
"Miranda I swear I never lied to you. When you asked me before I promise you nothing was going on. This basically just started yesterday."
"And what exactly is 'this'?" She questioned.
"I don't even know." I shrugged my shoulders.
"Have you guys….had.."
"NO, no, no." I cut her off. Waving my hands back and forth.
"Not even close. No clothes have been shed. Promise."
"Well that's good to know. I think." She laughed.
"You two stayed together last night?" I knew what she was getting at.
"It wasn't like that. I was upset. My dad didn't want me to go home. So I stayed here and she comforted me." I smiled remembering how good it felt when she held me.
"Ash..I.."
"I know what you're gonna say." I cut her off again.
"It's not like that with Spencer. Okay? I, I , I'm in love with her." I whispered the last part.
Miranda smiled and then hugged me.
"I wasn't going to say anything bad Ash. I was just going to say how happy I am for you. I already knew how you felt about Spencer." She patted my hand.
"You did?"
"I'm not blind Ashley. I see the way you look at her. And all I have ever heard is how Ashley Davies is a Badass and she could have anyone she wanted but…. I haven't seen you even look at another girl. And that Rebecca girl doesn't count because you were just trying to make Spencer jealous. And it sooo worked. Well done." She smiled and I laughed.
Miranda saw a lot more than she let on.
"I've noticed changes in Spencer the last month. She was always so empty and then you came along and she started smiling again. Then she was sad and you were too. I knew that was related somehow. Now she is smiling again. I have never seen her like this. She's so protective of you. She's always asking about you. She's so happy around you…"
"She's finished dressing and is right behind you." Spencer cut her off this time. She was standing behind the couch with her hands on her hips and her head tilted. Smiling with those beautiful, pearly whites.
"Hey Spence. We were just talking about you."
"I know. I heard." She takes a seat on the chair across from us. I notice that she changed into a pair of tight blue jeans and has her U of M hoodie on again. She doesn't have any socks on and I notice that her lilac painted toes are perfect as well as the feet they are attached to.
"Okay well as much as I would like to sit here and grill you two. I am whooped and in bad need of a nap." Miranda said while yawning.
"What happened with going to art exhibit?" Spencer asked Miranda.
"Chels got into an argument with her parents about the car or something. So we didn't go. Her mom was mad and sent me home." She looked disappointed.
"I see. Well it's here until next week. Maybe you will get another chance to go."
"We probably will. Okay I'm going to nap. You two behave." She winked at me.
She got up and walked over to Spencer. She leaned down and kissed her cheek.
"You and I will have a little chat later." She smiled at Spencer and then left the room.
"Oh and you might want to cover up that hickey Spence." She shouted down the hallway.
Spencer covered her neck and glared at me. I just shrugged and snickered. "Sorry."
She got up from her chair and sat down next to me on the couch. Then she surprised me by grabbing my hands with hers. She kept her head down staring at them.
"I'm sorry I acted the way I did earlier." She said and then finally lifted her head and looked into my eyes.
"It's okay. I know I surprised you." It was my turn to look down at our entwined hands.
"You didn't surprise me Ashley." She said. "Well okay I was a bit surprised when you stopped kissing me to tell me you wanted to take me out on a date" She giggled and then paused. "But I wasn't surprised with what you said afterwards."
"You mean the 'everything' part?" I looked back into her blue eyes. They looked different somehow. Almost calm.
"Yes. The 'everything' part." She squeezed my hands into hers. "Ash, I know this isn't just some high school crush for you and it is certainly not just a crush for me. I wouldn't risk so much if it were. But this." She points at the two of us. "This was a bit unexpected. And I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little scared. I am scared out of my mind. I am scared that I can't stop thinking about you. I am scared that you make my heart race by just looking at me. I am scared that I was willing to go to jail last night to protect you. I am scared that I couldn't stop myself earlier. I am scared that I need you as much as I do." She paused and placed her hands on my face. Caressing softly. "I am scared that all I ever want is to be near you and…. Kiss you." She leaned in and pressed her soft lips to mine. A gentle kiss…a huge relief. I hadn't fucked up. Yay me!
She pulled away from the kiss and rested her forehead on mine. I still had my eyes closed and I could still feel her lips.
"Ash, open your eyes." Spencer whispered.
I opened my eyes and looked into the ocean of blue staring back at me.
"You okay?" She asked.
"No." I replied.
"No?" She was worried.
"No. But I would feel a lot better if you let me hold you." I said while taking her hands in mine and lifting them to my mouth and kissing them.
She smiled and then got off the couch.
"Where are you going?" I asked her a little confused.
"I'm going to put a movie in. What do you want to watch?" She asked fingering through the DVD's.
"Something funny. No Drama please." I sighed.
"Okay. No drama. How about…..The Little Mermaid?" She had a big goofy smile on her face. How could I resist?
"Uh okay." I laughed.
I got a good look at her butt while she bent down and put the DVD in. Damn, I am a lucky girl.
She caught me staring and shook her head.
"Down girl." She joked as she sat back down on the couch.
I opened my arms for her and she laid back into me.
Perfect!
"Why did you pick this movie?" I asked her. I kissed her head.
"It's one of my favorite movies." She said proudly.
"Really? You need to see more movies Spence." I joked. She pinched my leg.
"Ow!" That really hurt.
"Sorry."
"So why is this one of your favorites?"
"I don't know. Do I have to have a reason? I just love it." She answered.
"Well what's your favorite part?"
"The boat scene when they sing "Kiss the girl". It's such a romantic scene." I hold in the snicker begging to be let out.
"Really Spence? It's a cartoon." She pinches me again.
"I suppose you loooove The Notebook too." I secretly own The Notebook. Hey I'm a romantic at heart.
"Actually yes I do. It such a classic love story. What can I say I'm a sucker for romantic movies with boat scenes." She giggled.
"Oh boy." I rolled my eyes but she couldn't see it.
"So are you saying you don't like romantic movies Ashley?"
"I didn't say that. But when I think Romantic Movie I don't think The Little Mermaid Spence." I laughed and she pinched me again.
"Ow! Will you stop doing that?" I tightened my grip on her so she couldn't move her arms.
"Stop making fun of me and I won't pinch you again." She's so cute.
"Spence you so owe me for making me watch this."
"I think you are getting your reward right now Ash so hush. The movie has started." I would watch an old, black and white, war movie with sub titles if I got to hold her. So worth it.
By the end of the movie she had turned and laid her head down on my chest and fell asleep. She was softly snoring and it was so cute. I ran my hands through her hair and kissed her head. I was so warm and comfortable. I fell asleep holding her.
A knocking at the door made us both jump. Knocking heads in the process.
"Sorry" We both say to each other.
Miranda walked over to answer the door.
"I'll get it. You guys may want to get up. Just in case." She's so smart. And the fact that she is looking out for us makes me love her more. I have such an amazing friend.
We both sat up and Spence got off the couch and sat on the chair across from me. She smiled at me and I winked at her. She looked away blushing. I will never get tired of that.
Miranda shook her head at us and giggled. Then she finally opened the door.
"Hey Mr. D. It's good to see you." Miranda greeted the visitor. My daddy.
I bounced off of the couch and into his arms like a little girl.
"Hey Princess." He looked down at me and cradled my face in his hands.
"You doing okay?" He asked.
"I'm doing better than okay." I looked over at Spencer and Miranda and smiled.
"Good." He kissed my head and held me to his chest.
I pulled him over to the couch and made him sit.
"So?" I said.
"She's gone." Is all he said and I grinned.
"How? What did you do?" Hopefully nothing too bad. He was back in my life and I wanted him to stay there.
"Ashley I have been having your mother trailed for the last couple years. You see I wanted a divorce years ago. But I knew that she would have taken every dime that I had in the divorce. It's not a secret that I have been unfaithful. It's all over the tabloids. And we both know that she has been unfaithful too but there wasn't any proof. So I made sure that I had proof. I hired a private investigator to follow her every move. I have quite a bit of dirt on your mother."
I smiled and told him to go on.
"Your mother is half way to Texas as we speak. We have an agreement. She leaves and never comes back unless you ask her to. And I don't go to the police with what I have on her."
"What do you have on her?" I wanted to know what that witch was up to.
"Well like I said I have quite a bit on her. But a few things could get her sent to jail if I went to the police. I have an entire disc of pictures of her buying from her dealers. Even a few videos. Your mother was quite the customer." He looked down and held my hands in his.
"I'm sorry that you had to see her while she was using. I'm sorry that I left you here with her to deal with that on your own. I am sorry that she hit you and I will never forgive myself for allowing that to happen."
"I know but you're making it up for that now." I assured him.
"No. I will never fully make up for that. I'm just glad that you have turned out so well considering."
"Well I've got great friends." I looked over at part of my support system sitting on the other couch.
"Yes you do." He agreed.
"So what else do you have on her?" I know there is more.
He laughed. Whatever it is he has must be good.
"Do you know the twin pool boys?"
"Yeah. Julio and Mateo. They cleaned the pools for about a year for us. I know she was sleeping with one of them." Probably both of them.
"You are partially right. She was actually sleeping with both of them. At the same time." He paused to see my reaction. I just laughed.
"Anyway. She took them both to Cabo with her a couple months ago. I have a lot of pictures of that trip. Some I wish my eyes would have never seen." He shook his head in disgust.
"So what's the big deal with these guys?"
"Julio and Mateo…. Just turned 17 last month." What?
"What? Are you kidding me? They were only 16? They looked like they were at least in their low 20's." I started laughing hysterically. "Oh this is great dad. This is just great."
"So she is gone. She's not going to come back unless you want her to. I wanted to make that your decision."
"Why didn't you just go to the police with what you had on her?" I asked him curiously.
"Because she wouldn't have spent much time behind bars and then she would have gotten out and tried to cause more trouble." It made sense.
"Why would she agree to your terms? She must have known that she wouldn't spend a lot of time in jail as well."
"Your mother is deathly afraid of going to jail. She is claustrophobic and wouldn't be caught dead wearing orange." I laughed.
"Thanks Dad. For everything." I hugged him tight.
"Don't thank me honey. It was my job as a father to protect you. I am just sorry it took me this long to do it."
"What about the divorce?" I asked.
"I am going to file in the morning. But that is not all I am going to do tomorrow. Tomorrow I am going to have a chat with my people. I am going to reschedule the dates of the tour that I have missed and I am going to finish out the rest of the dates. Then I'm done for a while. I want to be the dad that you need Ash. The dad you can count on. I want to make you as proud as you make me Princess." I don't bother to try and stop the tears. I guess when I became the new Ashley I became a big cry baby. I didn't care though. This time these were happy tears.
We hugged for what seemed like forever. I didn't want to let him go.
"How bout we go celebrate?" He pulled back and asked me.
"Definitely." I gave him my big cheesy grin.
"You two up for a celebration?" He asked Miranda and Spencer who were both wiping their eyes. Big babies.
"Absolutely." Miranda jumped off the couch and gave me a big bear hug. Then she gave my dad an equally bone crushing hug.
"What about you Blue Eyes?" I love when he called her that.
"I think there is a lot to celebrate. I'm in." She walked over and pulled me into a hug. I am getting used to all these hugs. They made me feel loved.
"I am so happy for you." She whispered in my ear.
"Alright then. Let's go party." My dad yelled.
…..
We ended up at our house. All of my mother's possessions gone. It brought a smile to my face. But it also left me feeling a bit empty. I couldn't explain the feeling. My dad decided he wanted to cook us all dinner. I wasn't going to say no. My dad was an amazing cook. He let me pick the meal. I chose parmesan chicken and fettuccini alfredo. I love Italian food.
While my dad cooked Spencer observed him. He gave her several tips (which she so needed) and they looked like they were enjoying each other's company. Miranda and I sat at the kitchen table waiting patiently. Chatting about random things.
During dinner Spencer held my hand under the table. Every once in a while she would squeeze it and I would look over at her. A shy smile playing on her lips.
I was so in love.
I was so happy.
Life could not possibly get better than this.
"So you two lovely ladies want to join us for a couple days in Malibu?" My dad asked between forkfuls of pasta.
Maybe life could get better. Spencer in a bathing suit. Uh yes!
"Malibu. Oh I am totally in." Miranda said excitingly.
"I don't know. I have a lot of work and reading to catch up on." Spencer said looking down at her plate.
"It's Spring Break. B-r-e-a-k Spence. You're coming." Miranda is so bossy. She is around Spencer too much.
Spencer looked over at Miranda with her "Excuse me" face. I just snickered.
"Come on now. Don't be a party pooper. The house is right on the beach. It's a huge house. Everyone would have their own room. The beach itself is private for a half a mile on both sides. You can read on the beach. Come on Blue Eyes.. live a little."
She tried not to smile at my dad. She looked over at me and I put on the puppy dog eyes and pouted my lip.
"Okay , but just for a couple of days." She finally said.
I was dancing inside. So excited.
I gave Spencer a tour of the house. It ended in my bedroom. Cue eye wiggle.
"Wow. I love it." She said as we entered my bedroom.
"Yeah. It's not bad." My room was pretty awesome.
She walked around examining every inch of it. When she reached the wall of DVD's she pulled out The Notebook and raised her eyebrows at me.
"What's this Ashley?" And I was caught.
"That is probably Casey's. She always leaves her things here." I don't think she bought it.
"Oh it's Casey's huh? What aboooout this one?" She pulled out Casablanca.
"That's a classic. Who doesn't have that one?"
"And this?"
Gone With The Wind. "Another Classic."
"And this?"
Titanic. "Uh did you see the scene with Kate Winslet?"
"Oh and this one?"
Beauty and The Beast. "Belle is hot."
She laughed and walked over to me.
"I think that you that you are a closet Romantic Movie lover Ashley Davies." She said as she pulled me to her by my hips.
I leaned towards her and whispered in her ear. "If I say I am will you kiss me?"
She nodded. "I love romantic movies." I said inches from her face. "And I love …your lips." I leaned in a kissed her gently.
I was lying in bed staring at the ceiling. Thoughts of the last couple days flowing uncontrollably through my mind. Saturday was supposed to be an amazing day for me and for the most part it was. Until, well you know. I finally turned 18 and officially became an adult. I had one of my best performances to date. But it was one of the worst nights of my life. Sunday. Well Sunday was one of the best days of my life. And as I lay here in my big bed staring at the blank ceiling above me I can't understand why I am all of the sudden feeling like I am missing something.
My dad is home. I have the best friend anyone could ask for. And I had Spencer. Sort of. I am happy. Thrilled. Ecstatic. But I don't feel quite whole. What the hell is wrong with me?
At some point my brain finally shut off and I fell asleep.
I woke up Monday morning around 10:30 a.m. I packed a couple bags…okay I packed 5 bags and my guitar. Not my favorite of course since my bitch of a mother went all pawn shop on me and sold it to some stranger. My dad said he could find out who she sold it to considering he had someone following her and monitoring her every move.
We packed up the car and headed to the beach house. Malibu here we come.
Spencer's P.O.V
"So we have a bit of a long drive Spence. I think we should have that little chat." Miranda said as we turned off of our street headed for Malibu. It was about an hour drive. I guess I was going to have to talk to her about it.
"What's there to chat about? Didn't Ashley tell you all of the juicy details?" I don't know all of what they talked about. Just what I walked in on.
"Ashley didn't tell me any juicy details. I wasn't aware there were any. Until now that is." She laughed. Great.
"It's okay Spence. We can skip the juicy details."
"What do you want to know Miranda?" This should be fun. Not really.
"Have you always liked girls? Was my brother the exception?" Huh?
"No. Your brother was not the exception. Ashley is. I have never been attracted to a woman before." It was true. There was something about Ashley. Something beyond her appearance.
"That's so crazy." Tell me about it.
"I know." It was crazy. And I was crazy for her. And I can't believe I just said that. Or thought it.
"You must really like her to risk everything. You could lose your job Spence." She was concerned.
"I do really like her. Sometimes I think it may be more than that. But I'm not ready to admit that." She paused. "I know what's at stake. But I can't stay away from her. I can't stop thinking of her." I pull to a stop at a red light and look over at Miranda who is grinning at me like a little girl staring at a Justin Beiber poster. Ugh!
"Stop looking at me like that." I slap her arm playfully.
"But it's just so darn cute. You are in loooove with Ashley."
"I didn't say that." I said 'may be'.
"You didn't have to Spence. I read in between the lines."
"Oh really?" She nodded. "You know to be honest I thought you would be disappointed in me when you found out." I thought she would hate me.
"How could I be disappointed? She makes you happy Spence and vice versa. You were both lonely and miserable. Now you don't have to be. I just want you to be happy and I know Aiden would want that for you too. No matter who it was with. You found someone special. Something incredible and inevitable. I know you won't admit it but you found love again. Cherish it."
"When did you get so insightful?" I chuckled.
"You two inspire me." Is all she said.
After Miranda's speech she announced she was taking a nap. "Wake me up when we get there." She told me.
I had some time to think. Was I in love with Ashley? I am fairly certain I know the answer. I wasn't ready to acknowledge it. I wasn't ready to say it to myself and definitely not out loud. I wanted to be with her. In every way imaginable. I was in so deep and couldn't get out if I wanted to. I didn't want to. She was worth the risks. She was worth the fall. She was worth… 'everything'.
We finally pulled up to the house around 5 p.m. and I typed in the code to the gate that Ashley gave me. I couldn't believe my eyes when we pulled up the drive. The house itself was a lot smaller than the mansion I was in last night. But what this house lacked in size it gained in appearance. The house was a light cream color and was made up of mostly windows. Both side of the drive were lined with palm trees that were surrounded by orange California poppy's, purple lilies and several different color daisies. It was absolutely breathtaking. But the beauty surrounding me could not have prepared me for the site before me…..
I pulled up behind a big black truck I am guessing belonged to Raife. Ashley was pulling something out of the bed of the truck. She was wearing barely there jean shorts and a red bikini top. Wow!
I must have looked like a fool. I felt a hand touch my chin and push it up.
"You're drooling Spence. Can you uh..keep your mouth closed." Miranda laughed.
Miranda jumped out of the car and ran to Ashley. Nearly hugging the life out of her. Ashley came around to my side of the car and opened my door.
"Hey beautiful." She said and pulled me out of the car.
"Hi" Is all I could get out. She leaned in and kissed my cheek and I instantly felt all warm and tingly inside.
"Let me help you with your bags." I handed her my bags from the back seat and she started walking towards the house. I followed enjoying the view.
We had a barbeque dinner courtesy of Raife. Chicken, ribs, hamburgers and hotdogs. Three different kinds of salads. Corn on the cob. You'd think he was expecting an army there was so much food.
We were all sitting out on the beautiful patio that overlooked the ocean. The patio was covered and it was decorated with strings of lights. It had a couple of rather big lounge chairs, a table to eat, a mini bar, pool table, Jacuzzi, and a stereo. I could totally live here. Ashley had disappeared inside and I wondered what she was doing. I wondered that a lot. What is she doing? Where is she? Is she thinking about me?
Miranda and Raife were in deep conversation. About what I have no clue. My mind had been on Ashley only since the moment we arrived.
A warm hand touched my shoulder and I looked up and her beautiful eyes were staring down at me. She was holding a blanket and a few sweatshirts.
"Come with me." She held her hand out for me. I took it.
We walked down the beach hand in hand. Such a simple thing but so romantic at the same time. We went down to the end of their property. There was a channel that split their private property from another private property. The channel led to a small body of water that housed several docks and boats of every size. We walked over to a dock that was holding a small speed boat.
"It's not a small wooden boat with oars but it's all I got." She gave me a small smile. I just hit me what was going on. She is so damn sweet.
"It's perfect Ashley." I squeezed her hand and pulled her into a hug.
She pulled back. "Can I take you for a ride?"
"You know how to drive this?" I pointed towards the boat.
"It's my boat. I hope I know how to drive it." She said with a chuckle.
"Then yes." She hopped into the boat and then helped me onto it.
Ashley's P.O.V.
It was a beautiful night and the sun was about to set. I stopped the boat a couple miles off the shore and dropped the anchor. Spencer looked cold so I offer up a sweatshirt that I brought. I threw one on myself and walked over to the bench at the back of the boat.
"Come here." I opened my arms for her. She sat down between my legs and laid back into me. I put my arms around her. We were cheek to cheek.
"It's so beautiful out here Ash. This is perfect."
I kiss her cheek. "Yes. It is beautiful."
We watched the sunset on my boat in the ocean. I was holding Spencer and she was holding my hand drawing patterns on the back of it with her thumb. No sounds except for the waves. Everything in this moment was perfect.
"Thank you for bringing me here Ashley. This is so amazing." She said and then kissed my cheek.
"You're welcome. I'm sorry I couldn't get the singing fish and birds to come. They were all busy." I joked.
"I don't need the singing birds and fish Ash. Just being here with you under the moonlight is romantic enough for me." She pulled my arms around her tighter.
We talked about random things for a little while. It was getting late but neither of us wanted to go back.
It was quiet and I didn't want to break the peaceful moment but I had something I had been wanting to ask her for a while.
"Spence?"
"Yeah."
"Will you tell me about Aiden?" I hoped it was okay to ask.
She didn't say at first and I got scared. I immediately regretted asking. Then finally…
"Aiden and I met my first year of college. He was stationed in a city about 50 miles from the campus. He was on campus with some friends for a football game. We met at a party and we connected. We talked for months over the phone and we fell in love. It was hard at first because he was staying 50 miles away but we made it work.
Sometime in my junior year he had got the call that his parents were killed. He had no choice but to go home and take care of Miranda. He didn't want to move her away from her home since she had just lost their parents so he moved here. I stayed with them during the summer. He asked me to marry him and I said yes. I was so in love with him and I wanted to help him with Miranda. We got married 5 weeks later at a court house. It wasn't the most romantic wedding but we didn't care. I went back to school for my senior year and as soon as I graduated I moved out here. I found a job right away at the University and he got sent to Iraq." I could hear her voice starting to crack.
"I'm sorry Spence." I said holding her tighter.
"It's okay. That's life right?" She turned in my arms and faced me.
"I'm happy right now Ashley. I'm happy here with you."
The temperature dropped about 10 degrees. It was getting cold so we headed in. Spencer stood in front of me. Her hands on the wheel and my arms around her waist. The water was calm so driving the boat was as easy as driving a car. I took over as we got closer to the channel. I pulled into the dock and Spencer grabbed onto the pole to keep us close. I tied the boat to the 2 poles and we made our way back to the beach.
As we walked back to the house we talked some more. I learned a lot about Spencer. She liked to dress like a princess when she was a toddler. She broke her right arm when she was 8. Her first crush was on Justin Timberlake. She loves to read and write poetry. She loves Plays and going to concerts. She likes to fish and go bowling. All of these things making me love her more.
We were almost home and I stopped walking and pulled her into me. I kissed her softly and pressed my forehead to hers. Then I took her hand and placed it on my skin right above my heart.
"You feel that? That's all you. You have my heart Spence." I whispered. Our foreheads still pressed together.
Then I took my other hand and caressed her cheek before sliding it down passed her neck and between her breasts. I held my hand just above her heart.
"Please tell me I have yours too." My voice was a little shaky. A little scared.
She took both of her hands and cradled my face. She kissed me gently and then pressed her forehead to mine.
