You guys rock! I don't have time to thank each of you individually, but you know I'll get back to you. Anyway on with the story…

Spencer's POV

I woke up with an arm secured tightly around my waist. I look over to my right to see a peacefully sleeping Ashley. Even thought I have to pee I don't try to release myself from her. I don't want to wake her, hell who I'm kidding. I like the feeling of her body pressed up against mine. Anyways with my decision to stay in bed, I let my eyes observer the room, seeing as last night I was too emotional unstable to take in my surroundings. The first thing I notice is the large amount of pictures she has out in different area's in her room. In the pictures I can see, she's smiling in them. I've seen her smile before but not like she is in the pictures, she looks really happy and full of life. I also notice that she doesn't have that many pictures with her family in them. At least not the one's I can see from my position on the bed, most are filled with either herself with another person or pictures of other people that look to be our age. I'm assuming they are her friends. I wonder why she doesn't have family pictures everywhere and who exactly the people in the pictures are.

I start to feel her stir next me. She doesn't open her eyes but rolls over onto her back, removing her arm from around me in the process. Being free to move now, I turn so we're I'm facing her and prop myself up on my elbow and let my head rest in my hand. She still hasn't opened her eyes, so I reach over and move a piece of her out of her face leaving my thumb to run up and down her cheek. Her eyes slowly open up and she looks right at me.

"Hey." I say smiling. She just smiles back. "As much as I want to continue this little conversation we got going, I really have to pee." She rolls her eyes at me saying "hey" and her smiling at me referring to that as a conversation. "Think you can show me where the bathroom is located?" She just points to something behind me. I look behind me in see a door I hadn't notice before. I look back at her and say thanks before getting out the bed to head into what I'm guessing is the bathroom.

Ashley POV

I can't believe I actually was still holding her when I woke up or the fact that she was awake but didn't move. Now she's in the bathroom probably trying to make herself look decent but there's no need, she's even more beautiful first thing in the morning. I'm in my room trying to fix the mess on my head that can only be called bed hair. Spencer comes out of the bathroom with her blond her pulled into a lose ponytail. She spots me sitting on the bed and starts to say something when we hear a knock on the door followed by my mom sticking her head in "Good morning ladies. Come get some breakfast."

"Thanks Mrs. Davies, but I told my grandma I'd be home first thing." She say's lying to my mom, because she never called her house after my mom told her to. I just don't know why she's lying about having to leave.

"It's only 8am Spencer. You can't eat first sweetie?"

"Thanks, but I have to be somewhere in about an hour. I'll grab something to eat while I'm out." She says while putting on her shoes. "Maybe next time?" My mom gives her a nod then she says goodbye in shuts the door. I look at Spencer and she knows what I'm thinking. She's been getting good at reading me over the last month. She goes and sits on my bed while I lean up against the wall next to my bedroom door.

"No, my grandma doesn't want me at home." She says answering my unspoken question about why she told my mom her grandma wanted her home. "I just want to grab some stuff from my room before anyone gets up. I don't feel like seeing my dad, or getting into another argument with anyone." She gets up from the bed and walks toward me stopping right in front of me. "I'm going to go stay with Mia for awhile but I'll still come over every night." She says smiling at me, I return the smile. "Okay I should be going." She leans into give me a kiss on the cheek but before her lips can meet my cheek I turn my head and interrupted by kissing her.

At first she doesn't kiss back but after the moment of shock is gone she kisses back. The kiss is nice and slow like we both don't want it to end. After a minute we both start to really get into it, my hand goes around her waist to bring her more into me, if that's possible. She starts to run her tongue along my bottom lip asking to enter my mouth. I start to part my lips but the sound of a door slamming causes us to jump apart.

When my breathing returns to normal I look up to see Spencer grinning like crazy and I'm sure I'm blushing. We just look at each other for a minute then Spencer walks back over to me from the bed she flew onto when we parted.

"I really have to go." She gives me a peck on the lips. "But I'll see you tonight?" I nod my head and she gives me a kiss on the cheek before leaving.

It's going to be hard killing time while waiting for tonight!!!
