Three weeks later…..
Spencer and I talked the next morning about me going to New York; it didn't end the way I wanted to…I'm going to New York. This is just foreshadowing of how my life is going to go, Spencer always getting her way. It's ok though we worked it out that she would come and be with me for a week. I worked it out with the label to squeeze everything into three weeks. I guess we needed that fight, in a weird way it brought us closer. I don't think Spencer ever truly realized how worried I was about our relationship being secure. I know that Spencer loves me, but I guess you can just fret over things not worth fretting over.
It was Friday, which meant family dinner. I was excited because it was at the Carlin's and Mr. C was grilling out. There we were, our one big family sitting in the backyard; Aiden and Kyla, Glen and Chelsea, Madison and her flavor of the month and me and Spencer. To think that ten years ago we probably never would have saw this, but I like it. At the last dinner at the Carlin's, Glen and Chelsea officially announced their pregnancy. To say that Paula was excited would be an understatement. She had a basket full of baby things already, she couldn't wait to be and grandmother. Of course the next thing out of her mouth was asking about a wedding. We all were surprised when Chelsea brought her hand from under the table to show the ring on her left hand. They decided they wanted to get married right away and keep it small. So they set a date a month out, even though it was small wedding, Chelsea wanted a nice location.
"So I'm totally going to be your flower girl, right?' It was really a question, it was more of statement. I was serious about being a flower girl. Chelsea just rolled her eyes, "Spencer, you need to knock some sense into this girl of yours, she's out of control".
Spencer just started to a laugh "I wouldn't change a thing about her, her ability to act like a 9 year old is cute". She leaned in a kissed me on the cheek.
"So do you like the garden Chelsea or were you leaning towards the hall?" Paula asked trying to stay focused on her task at hand.
"I'm really liking the garden. It's just so beautiful and it's just the right size for an intimate ceremony". The twinkle in Chelsea's eyes were so cute, she was so excited.
"I like the garden too, Chelsea. I love the idea of an outside wedding" Spencer chimed in. I always pictured our wedding on a beach; in the exact spot we first realized what we had was something more powerful than we both ever thought it could be.
"So if it's held in the garden, the flowers would be very plentiful for me to pick and throw". I take another shot at being a flower girl.
"If I say you can be flower girl will you drop it?" Chelsea said as she started to laugh.
"Well, I'll have to clue you in on my plans for the ceremony, but as far as asking goes, if I have your approval then no, I won't ask anymore". I smile back towards her.
"Ok, so it sounds like the garden is the winner. I'm glad were making some progress here". Paula said sending a playful glare my way.
We wrapped everything up and it was decided that the garden would be where the wedding was held and that I would be allowed to hold some sort of floral arrangement. Kyla, Aiden, Spence and I said our goodbyes and headed back to the loft.
"Do you guys want to hit any of the clubs tonight?" Aiden asked.
"You know I do kind of feel like dancin'" Kyla said while attempting what I like to call the "Car Dance".
I looked over at Spencer and she had the look of "I really don't want to", which was perfect because all I wanted to do was snuggle in bed and watch a movie.
"You know I think we'll pass tonight. I need to start thinking of ways to make Chelsea think I'm going to ruin her wedding with my flower girl obsession". Kyla just started to giggle and she managed to choke out "Alright, but you guys are gonna miss a hoppin' time".
They dropped us off at the loft and headed out to dance. It was weird because Kyla doesn't go out that often anymore, but I like that's she starting to loosen up a bit. She kind of got a little to straight edge after the "fall of her fame".
I grabbed Spencer's hand as we walked up to the loft, she was ahead of me and went to unlock the door but I pulled her back. She turned around "What?"
"Let's pretend we're on a date and I'm dropping you off at your door" I say with a very sexy look. Spence lips just turned up, "Are you dropping me off in High School or College?"
"I don't think that would really effect the outcome…I mean Spence I did know you in high school". Spencer hit me on the arm, "This date is not ending very well, Ash".
"It's not high school, it's not college…it's now" I said pulling her closer.
"First date or have we been on a few" she says in a whisper.
"Well I know you're lady and you don't sleep with anyone on the first date, but I mean this is love at first sight…so I'll say second date" Our faces are so close, I can feel her breath on my lips.
"Well I mean if its love at first sight" she says as she leans closer. I close the gap and capture her lips. It's a sweet kiss, a kiss you would give someone when you're dropping them of at their door.
"Ashley Davies" she whispers as she pulls away, "I would love to go on another date with you". That's cute, but I have a different idea. "I don't want to go on another date; I want to extend this one". I lean back in with a kiss that is not meant for dropping someone off at their door. I reached behind her to unlock the door, which once it opened we both stumbled inside. I shut the door and was immediately push back up against it.
"Spence" I said between kisses and added with a smile "I mean this is only our second date".
"I thought you said it was love at first sight, in my book that trumps the fact that it's only our second date." At this point her hands are already up my shirt.
"I like you" I say as my hands move to her shirt.
"Just like?" she asks against my lips as she starts to remove my shirt, which I obviously let her do.
"Well, I love what you're doing right now" she currently kissing my neck and working down my collar bone. "Well then you're going to love this" she's heading down to my pants…kissing around my belly button, she is on her knees. She is on her knees, my shirt is off and we're against out front door. No more role play. I pull her up and give her a rough passionate kiss. "Were still at the front door, lets move this into the bedroom".
"Do you even know where my bedroom is?" she quips.
I pick her up as if I'm carrying her over the threshold "no more role play, Spence. This is you and me time" I lean down and capture her lips as I carry her into the bedroom. I throw her down on the bed and move on top of her. I lean into her and my forehead meets hers, "Why no more role play" Spence whispers, I lean down and my mouth is right next to her ear "Because we don't need to spice anything up, what we have is impossible to beat, it's just you and me". I can feel Spencer shiver, I move my mouth back towards her and take her into a deep kiss. She rolls us over so she on top and takes of her shirt when she takes a break from our kissing. It's probably the fastest I've ever seen anyone remove their shirt and she's right back to my lips.

"That was amazing" she pants, "I mean that was…what was that?"
I pull her in tighter to me, kiss her forehead and reply "It was called making love".
I roll on top of her again, I'm hovering over her and I'm just starting into her beautiful boys eyes.
"That was intense Ash, I mean you agree with me, right?" Spence's eyes are locked on mine.
I can't stop staring at her. I have the woman who has my heart, my soul, my everything in the palm of her hands. She is my soul mate. I know she asked me a question, but I can't seem to remember, I think she noticed.
"Ash….Ash…Ash" Spencer keeps repeating herself. I shake myself out of my trance and see that Spence looks slightly confused. She sees that I have acknowledged her.
"What's going on, Ash?" she asks me.
"Move in with me, Spencer" I say in a low voice.
There is a moment of silence; I think it's her trying to process what I'm saying.
"What? We already live together, Ash" she said with a slight smile.
"No, I mean lets move in together…lets leave here and find a place of our own".
Spencer shifts and goes to sit up, I roll of her a sit next to her.
"I'm confused, Ashley" Spencer looks concerned and confused, which is understandable because I kind of am too.
"I want us to have a place we can call ours. Don't get me wrong this place is as much yours as it is mine, but I want a place we pick out together. I was it to be furniture we pick out. I want us to paint the walls; I want it to be ours. I want the house to reflect us, not just me."
Spencer moves and pushes me down and crawls over me. "You are such a romantic Ashley" she leans down and kisses me. "So does that mean yes?" I ask.
"Well what kind of place were you thinking?" she kisses me again. I move so were both laying on our sides looking at each other. I look down a little then move my gaze back up to Spencer. "Well we can look at all types of places; apartments, condos, even another loft, or we could look at houses." I continue in softer voice almost embarrassed. "You know ones with yards and porches, a place we can come home to.." Spencer cuts me off "and raise a family". I hope she doesn't get too freaked out. I didn't mean to bring this up now. Just looking at her right then and there it just came out. It could have been worse, I could have blurted out "Marry me". Not that I don't want to, but I would never get over proposing to her right after sex, I know how I want to ask her and that was not it.
"Yeah. Let's find a place and make a home…together" I trail off and look up at Spencer. She is smiling which is a good sign, right? She moves to me and our lips meet, I deepen the kiss. She pulls back "When do you want to start looking?" she has a hint of excitement in her voice.
"Well you're done with classes next week, let's start then. I don't want this distracting your school work." She just starts to laugh, "What?" I ask. "You sound like a mom, Ash". She is so lucky Paula and I our best friends now. "Well you're mom is kind of hot". Spence opens her mouth in shock. "You totally just lost round number two, why would you being my mom into this".
I laugh and grab her and pull her close "That's ok, I don't need round number two. Having you in my arms is just fine with me".
We start to drift of to sleep, holding each other. Spencer whispers "I'm so glad we didn't go to the club.."
Me too I think to myself, me too. Spencer and I are getting our own place. I'm pretty sure I'm the happiest person on earth right now; I don't think my life could get any better.
Man, I love this girl.
