*Author's Note:

Okay, so first of all I just figured out how to do this so…yay! I'm very new to this so be gentle. As for proof-reading and paragraphing, I'm afraid that it may not get better. I proof-read before I post anything but, as I'm sure most of you already know it is easy to miss these things in your own writing and grammar and I aren't exact ally the closest of friends either. Then there is the paragraphing issue, I know it may cause some problems and for that I apologize but, it is just the way I write. I'll try to make it better. Lastly, but not least I want to thank all of you for reading this story and such kind words. So, here is another chapter. Hope you enjoy.

Cheers,

Ashley's POV

Truth is that the moment my eyes met hers I felt a strong connection to this girl. She has the most incredible eyes I have ever seen. To say they are blue would not do them justice, there is no shade that can be named to describe their beauty. I could happily get lost in them and never return. Go she is unbelievable. I've never felt like this in my life, it's all just so…..intense. I'm not used to being caught off guard by a girl. It is almost refreshing. I have to tell you that I'm normally not like this, never really. I pride myself in being-strong-minded and independent. Yet now I find myself craving her presence. I've only known her for a short time but crazy as it may sound I miss her when she's not around. I was so happy to see her tonight. I'm glad she enjoyed my set, I would be lying if I said that I didn't have a little inspiration tonight. Man, do I sound cheesy. But, hey I can't help it she has that effect on me. I have this overwhelming need to protect her. Like tonight, with the moshers. I normally wouldn't have given a shit, even laughed when someone gets plowed into by one of those testosterone amped monkeys. But, not her, there was no way going to let anyone harm this beautiful girl. I can't believe that I'm this lucky to this girl standing in front of me. Shit, she's still silent and it's beginning to make me nervous. What if she says no? What if she doesn't feel the same way I do? Fuck! Since when am I so self-conscious? Shit the sielence is killing me! Please Spencer, say something! I'm begging you, say something, anything! I have never been a very religious person but believe me I say right now I'm praying with everything that I have that the beauty before me will say yes.

Spencer's POV

She just stood there looking at me with those warm chocolate colored eyes of hers, looking so hopeful. I was still silence, afraid to answer, afraid to speak really. It is all just so overwhelming, I had come to crave it. What did it all mean, what was happening to me? I didn't know, but I know I love this feeling and it also scares the shit out of me at the same time. It's been a while yeah, I'm standing there like a idiot. The silence deafening really, I watched as a small pout began to form on her lips. Oh God, that's it, she's already found my weakness, the weakness I never even knew I had. How could I say no to her? That's right I couldn't. I looked down at my feet, shuffling my weight back and forth on them a bit. I took a deep breath then I finally worked up enough to meet her eyes once again. "I'd like that.", I said slightly nervous. Her whole face seemed to light up and a wide smile spread across her lips. Wow, it was fantastic, her smile and I couldn't help but mirror that smile. "I was hoping you'd say that.", she said almost shyly. Funny, she didn't look like the type that would ever get shy. "Okay let's get outta here gorgeous.", she said touching my shoulder gently. We made our way across the parking lot, until she stopped in front of..you have got to be kidding me..a sleek black Porsche. She reached over unlocking the passenger side door and held the door open for me, "Here you go." I smiled getting inside, she shut my door and ran around getting in. "Nice car.", I said still a little taken back. "Thanks.", she said as she revved the engine and peeled out the parking lot.

The road was dark and surprising deserted as we made our way to Ashley's place…yeah I know right. I'm scared shitless! All of the things that could go wrong began to run though my mind, what if? What if I make a fool of myself? What if she..? Shit, I must have been in my head for a while because the car has come to a stop. I shake my head, pulling myself out of my inner turmoil. I look over to see Ashley looking at me, she smiled as our eyes meet. I smiled, suddenly I felt a little better, how did she do that? She turned the car off and got out of the car, walking over to my side. She smiled as she opened my door, holding out her hand to help me out of the car. I took her hand smiling at how cute this girl was. It was then that I took a moment to take in my surroundings, okay now I'm confused. We stood beside what looked like an abandoned warehouse. Ashley must have seen my confusion because I heard her chuckle. "I know what you're thinking. Hasn't anyone ever told you not to judge a book by it's cover Spence.", she said chuckling again. I smiled nervously again. She shook her head when she saw the look that I had on my face still in place. She went over and unlocked the door, following her as she went inside. The inside was gloomy and much like the outside appearance of the warehouse. Okay, I'm patiently waiting for the punch line here. We went over to the elevator and she pulled closed the accordion door when we were both inside. The elevator went up for a few moment, the ride was a bit shaky I must say. "Here we are.", Ashley said pulling the door open. Holy Shit, I know my jaw just dropped to the floor. It was incredible, I looked over to see a full smirk on her face. The space was huge, the entire place was converted into a beautiful loft. Beautiful hardwood floors covering the entire length. The deep red walls, adding an edgy feel that was so Ashley. Over to the side was a closed in room, the door stood open revealing that it was the bathroom. There was a set of double doors off to the side, though I am not sure what they lead to. Then there was a large kitchen and a breakfast nook against the wall. One of the corners was completely devoted to music; a baby grand piano, drum kit and on the wall hung a array of different guitars. Then last but not least there was a king sized bed on the floor in the far corner. It was beautiful!

"You know you can come in, right?", I snapped out of my inner monologue and looked over to see a smiling Ashley standing inside. I blushed ducking my head as I walked inside. "You're too cute.", Ashley said coming closer to me. My breath hitched as she leaned in until she was mere inches from my body, she reached around me. Her breath warm against my exposed shoulder, she turned the lock to the door. As she leaned back, her breath touched my ear and I sighed slightly. What was she doing to me? She smiled looking into my eyes, then turned and walked across the room pulling her shirt off as she did. Shit, not again. I averted me eyes, looking at anything but, her beautifully tanned body. I did however sneak a few quick glances, which only made my face grow hot as another blush made it's appearance. While looking up at the ceiling I heard her laugh, which made me look back at her. Bad idea, she stood in front of me topless, wearing on a pair of boxers low on her defined hips. I was frozen I could not look away for fear she was a dream, God she is beautiful! Yet I was not looking at her body, my eyes never left hers. "You are incredible, you that! You are the first person in the world to ever try and not look at me naked.", she smiled before pulled a black beater over her head, breaking our eye contact. I blushed again, man I do that a lot when she's around. I walked over to where she was standing at the couch. I stood there in front of her, stuffing my hands in my pockets, a habit I have when I get nervous. Ashley reached over and ran the back of her hand over my cheek, "Its refreshing.". I sighed and leaned into the contact that I was beginning to crave. She smiled at me with such warmth and I couldn't help but mirror hers with my own. "Come on pretty girl, I have something you can sleep in.", she said walking over to the double doors. She opened them, oh it's the closet. I guess that answers my previous questions, it's big too because she just walked inside it. A minute later she reappeared, handing me a clothes similar to the ones she was wearing. "I'll give you some privacy so you can change.", she smiled, her face holding a knowing look of understand. "Thanks." She nodded before going to the bathroom closing the door. It's crazy that in such a short time this girl knew me so well, she knew exactly what I needed. I smiled as I changed into the beater and pair of boxers, leaving my bra on. No need to let her know about the other additions to my body. There was no way I'm having that conversation just yet, no thank you! "It's safe to come out now.", I called fixing the hem of the beater. Ashley came out of the bathroom and stopped dead in her tracks, mouth slightly at the site before her, "I wouldn't say it was safe, Spence! You look sexy in my clothes." I blushed again, damn it, I need to find a way to control that. Ashley came a little closer, "I love it when you blush." Okay, maybe not, note to self blush A LOT.

Just then I yawned, making her smile a little. "Come on party girl, let's get you to bed.", she said. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous as hell for this moment, the idea of being in the same bed as her scares the fuck out of me. Not that I wouldn't love to be closer to this woman, it's the complete opposite. The connection I have with her already is just so strong it scares me sometimes. I have given her so much power in this short time and I know in my heart that she already has the ability to break my heart into a million pieces. I know its insane but, I also that far gone! She looked over at me and her smile falters a little, I know she sees the hesitation in my eyes and I sudden feel terrible for disappointing her. "As much as I would love to fall asleep with you beside me I would never want to do anything that will make you uncomfortable. I'm going to just sleep on the couch, okay beautiful?", Ashley said as turned to walk away I reached out and grabbed her arm lightly, stopping her. She looked at me a little surprised then looked down at my hand that was now caressing her arm softly with my fingers. "I'm not going to kick you out of your own bed, Ash. Come lay down with me.", I said and watched as a smile spread across her lips. I followed Ashley over to her bed, letting her get in first. She lay on her side facing the middle of the bed, looking up at me, watching me get into bed. I lay facing her, her warm honey-colored eyes comforting me. How did she do that? Suddenly I felt relaxed and I sighed my contentment. It wasn't long before I felt sleep being to take me, "Nite Ash." "Sweet dreams Spence.", she smiled. That was the last thing I saw before sleep got the best of me.
