I woke up at about 5am.
I couldn't sleep.
I went and got a drink and just sat on my bed with my back against the headboard.
As I relaxed, Spencer rolled onto her side and put her head in my lap and her arms around my legs.
Her warm breath on my bare thigh sends shivers down my spine.
Without thinking, I start running my fingers through her hair.
At least some of the colour has come back to her face.
When I drunk her blood, it was like nothing I have ever tasted.
It was definitely better than the vampire's who turned me.
"Ash?" she whispered as she stirred
"It's ok Spence, I'm here. Go back to sleep."
"Why are you awake?"
"I don't sleep at night Spence."
"What time is it?"
"Almost six."
"Well shouldn't you be starting to sleep now?"
"I'm not tired. I will sleep tomorrow."
"In that case, so will I."
"Spencer, you need to rest."
"I have slept for two hours, I'll be ok."
"Spence."
"Ash," she looked me in the eye. "I know you feel bad about what happened earlier, but I will be fine. And like I said, I don't mind."
"I know Spence, it's just,"
"It's just nothing Ash. I will live. And one day, when you get over it, you will do it again."
I felt my cheeks flush as I got really embarrassed.
"Thanks Spence."
"Ash, don't get embarrassed, it's who you are, and I don't care."
"You don't care that I'm some blood sucking, freakish Monster!"
I turned my head away from her but she quickly pulled it back to face her.
"You aren't a freak or a monster. And no I don't care."
"You know you are the only person that has lived after I… you know."
"Really?"
"Yeah… all I do to them is sleep with them then kill them."
"That's harsh Ash."
"I know. But I haven't been doing it so much recently. I guess… I don't know, it's weird."
"Tell me Ash. We said no more secrets."
"Any time I would go out to…"
"Eat?" she offered.
"Eat, I just couldn't even bring myself to be nice to the guys, you know? I kind of always felt that I was…"
"What Ashley?"
"I felt like I was cheating on you."
She just sat and looked at me.
"I told you it was weird."
"No Ash, actually, last night I couldn't hook up with anyone because I guess I felt the same."
"But Spence, I'm not even gay. Or at least I don't think I am."
"Well I believe that everyone's straight until they aren't so…"
"Says the person that has labelled themselves gay!" I teased
"But I was straight… until I wasn't."
"So what happened?"
"It was actually a drunken game of spin the bottle. Me and a group of my college friends were pissing about in our group at some party. And the bottle landed on me and my boyfriend's sister."
"Interesting."
"Yeah."
"So what happened?"
"Well we made out right there. We got carried away. And then later when my boyfriend passed out, we umm… went to a room and just talked for a while. One thing led to another and suddenly I wasn't a virgin anymore."
"You mean you hadn't even slept with your boyfriend?"
"Nope. I have never been with a man."
"Wow, don't I feel like a slut!"
"Ashley! Stop being so hard on yourself!"
"Sorry. I'm going to get a drink. I haven't got much here cos I didn't know you would be coming. Will juice be alright?"
"Yeah fine. Don't you keep coffee, I mean you drink enough of it?"
"Actually, I can't taste anything other than blood. I can drink and eat what ever I want, but I can't taste it and it has no nutritional influence on me."
"Wow. So like all the times we have been to coffee, you didn't taste anything?"
"Nope, nothing."
I reached to a cupboard to get some glasses and got the last bit of Spencer's favourite juice from another.
I pulled a packet of blood out of another cupboard and poured it into the cloudy glass. I figure she doesn't particularly want to see someone sipping away at blood first thing.
I took the two glasses back into my bedroom and she sat up as I passed it to her.
"But don't vampires like shrivel in the sun?"
"No. We burn. Very slowly. Two and a half hours is about my limit."
"But we always sit outside for like three."
"I know." I laughed "My shoulders are scarred now."
"Why didn't you say? We would have sat inside!"
"Spence, its not big deal. As long as I don't singe again for a while, the scars will be gone in like three months."
"It is a big deal! I like broke your skin! Your perfectly smooth and tanned skin! Shit did I say that out loud?"
I couldn't help but laugh at her. She looked so adorable, the way the light was coming through the open window made her look perfect.
"Stop laughing at me Ash!"
"I'm sorry Spence, you are just like, really cute when you make a butt of yourself!"
"The expressions making an ass out of yourself, Ash."
"I know. But butt has always kind of stuck. For me anyway."
"Right ok."
I drank a little as Spencer downed her juice.
She laughed at me.
"What?"
"You have umm..." she pointed to the side of her mouth and laughed some more.
"Fuck!" I whispered which made her laugh more.
"Wrong side, come here."
I leaned onto her and she wiped the side of my mouth and stared into my eyes.
Her thumb lingered on my mouth a little too long.
"Here." She held her thumb slightly away from my mouth but didn't break eye contact.
I looked from her thumb to her eyes, to her thumb again. On their way back up to her eyes again, my eyes betrayed me and went straight to her lips.
Slowly, I closed my lips over her thumb and sucked the blood off, staring into her eyes the whole time. I watched her eyes flutter as my tongue went over every part of her thumb
I kissed her thumb before I pulled away from it.
"Ashley." she whispered.
"Spencer."
She leaned into me.
I leaned into her.
"ASHLEY! OPEN THIS FUCKING DOOR! YOU HAVE TWO MINUETS BEFORE I FUCKING BREAK IT DOWN! I SAW YOU GET STABBED LAST NIGHT! YOU BETTER NOT BE DEAD OR I'LL KILL YOU!"
AN:: umm… yeah im getting kicked off so im doin this real fast…
