SPENCER'S P.O.V
When my phone beeps she rolls over.
We've been like this for a while now.
She's been sleeping and I've been staring up at the ceiling.
"Hmmm what time is it?"
"It's just after five"
When I say that she turns so she's facing me.
"Spence have you been awake this whole time?"
"Yer"
She's stretching.
"You should of woken me"
There's no way I'd do that.
"You looked tired..."
"I am tired Spence, you've worn me out"
When she says that I smile.
"So do you need to go home?"
"No, why?"
"Your phone's been beeping?"
"It's just mum"
When I pause she cups my cheek in her hand.
"Spence what aren't you saying?"
"It's nothing"
"Spence?"
"They want me to invite you over for dinner"
I can't tell what she's thinking.
"And what do you want?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you want me to meet your parents?"
"Yer of course I do, but I don't want you to do anything that you don't want to do"
"Spencer we're in this for the long haul right?"
"Yer of course"
She's smiling.
"Then tell them I'll come"
I have the biggest smile on my face.
"Really?"
"Wait, what's on the menu at the Carlin house tonight?"
"Meatloaf"
When I say that she moves so she's hovering above me.
"Okay well I'm definitely in"
"Are you sure?"
I don't want her to feel like she has to come.
"Ash I've already told them no, so it's not an issue if you don't come"
"Spencer I'm really hungry..."
When she says that I start laughing.
"And I love meatloaf"
"Well my dad makes a really good meatloaf"
I'm staring at her boobs.
I love naked Ashley.
"Yum"
When she tilts my head up I smile.
"Spencer you're losing focus"
"That's your fault, you have an incredible body"
"It's my biggest asset Spence..."
It's one of her many assets.
"It's how I get all the girls"
When she says that I playfully shove her off me.
"I'm only joking Spence..."
She's laughing.
"You're the only one girl I want"
She needs to put clothes on.
I can't stop staring at her.
"That's very sweet Ash, but you need to put clothes on or we're never going to make it out of this room"
When I roll over to grab my phone, she starts kissing my back.
"Spence clothes just get in the way"
"I know, but we need to get up"
"Why?"
"Cause if we don't we'll get carried away and I'm telling my family we're coming for dinner"
"Spence I'm more than okay with getting carried away"
Usually I'd be okay with that as well.
But I just sent the text.
"But for you I will control myself and get up"
When I move so I'm sitting on the edge of the bed she sighs.
"Shit I can't remember where I hid my manners"
That's hilarious.
"They're somewhere in this room"
"Why did you hide them?"
"I only use them on special occasions, so I put them in my safe spot and now I've forgotten where that safe spot is"
"Is this a special occasion?"
"Every time I'm with you it's special"
She has a way with words.
"Spence how far behind the eight ball am I?"
When she runs her fingers down my spine I shiver.
"What do you mean?"
"Your parents can't like me..."
"Why?"
"We cheated"
"Ash we had our reasons"
"Spence you had your reasons..."
"What does that mean?"
"Spence I wasn't questioning my sexuality and I wasn't curious about what it would be like"
We've talked about this before.
"They must be questioning my character..."
"They're not like that Ash..."
My dad's a social worker and my mum's a doctor.
So they're both very compassionate and caring people.
They're going to love her.
"They're not going to judge you"
"Sorry I didn't mean to be all emo"
"Ash if you're not comfortable going it's okay..."
"We're going Spence"
Okay.
"Alright I should probably jump in the shower, would you like to join me?"
She's smiling again.
"Ash that's so tempting, but..."
"Okay, okay, I'm getting up"
When she sits up she quickly presses her lips over mine.
"Spence do you need anything before I run off and shower?"
"No i'm okay"
"Alright I'll be right back"
