I felt Spencer push me up against my bedroom door. Her lips were attack mine, and I felt amazing. My hand finally found the handle, which sent us tumbling onto the floor. Spencer landed on top of me and we burst into fits of giggles. I think that alcohol had already taken effect. Spencer's arm found their way under my shirt. I let out a moan as her finger raked down my stomach. I lifted both of us and carried us towards the bed.

Before I realized it, Spencer was straddling me. She placed gentle kiss down my neck. Not that I don't have a problem having sex, I've had sex before, plenty of times with Madison. But this was different. I wanted my first time with Spencer to be special, not drunken fools.

"Spencer…" I said pulling her up to face me, "I-I can't."

Her moods seem to suddenly change, she removed herself from the place around my waist. She cheeks were bright red.

"I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking," she said a little taken aback, because I faintly recall saying that there was nothing stopping her.

"Spencer, I didn't mean it like that. I just don't want our first time to be like this. I want it to be special. And we haven't really established what we are."

"Ashley I have feelings for you, not just friend feelings. I liked you the first time that I talked to you," she said turning to face me.

"You're the first person since Madison who has made my heart skip a beat. You the first person who has helped me move on, and I can't be more grateful. I was too blind to see the feelings that I had developed over you, but now they're crystal clear. Spencer…I'm falling for you," I said laying one hand on Spencer's. Spencer's hand cupped my face before kissing my lips.

Spencer rested her head on my arm and curled up under the covers. A short while she breathing had evened out and she was quietly sleeping. I smiled knowing that Spencer was next to me.

"You did good Ashley," I heard Madison say.

"Thanks Mads," I whispered to myself before I let sleep take me away.

I felt the warmth of the sun on my face. I had a pulsing headache from the night before. I turned over a noticed that there was someone sleeping on my arm. I shot up, before I noticed that it was only Spencer. I smiled at the memories from last night.

"Spencer," I said shaking her gently out of her sleep, "Spencer wake up, you have to be at UCLA in an hour."

"Ten more minutes," she mumbled into the pillow. I let out a soft laugh before lying back down next to her. She was beautiful; her hair seems to lie perfectly on her shoulders, while mine was probably a curled mess. Ten minute I shook her again; thankfully this time she tried to get up.

"Spencer you have to get up," I said, leaning down and giving her a quick kiss. Her eyes shot open.

"Are you going to get up now?" I asked before I received a pillow in the face. I heard Spencer giggling as I removed the pillow.

"You're in so much trouble," I said tickling her around her stomach. She burst out into the fits of laughter. Spencer jerked under me trying to get away from me. I guess she figure it out, because soon I was the one being tickled. I was eventually able to grab Spencer's arms and pin them above her head. Her face a red and her breathing was staggered; it was such a turn on. Spencer lifted herself up connecting our lips together. It was a long passionate kiss; Spencer's arms wrapped around my neck pulling me downwards. I left my hands explore under her shirt, grazing my hands across her toned stomach.

"Will you get up now?" I asked jokingly. She playfully slapped my arm before pushing me off of her.

"You're such a moment spoiler," she said getting up and heading towards the bathroom. I let myself fall back onto the bed, smiling to myself.

Spencer was ready in ten minutes. The drive to the train station was quiet, but Spencer's want was on mine the whole time. I dropped Spencer off at the that the station entrance.

"So I guess call me when you're done," I said as Spencer leaned through the window, "maybe after we can go catch some waves."

"Like a date?"

"A date is dinner and a movie…consider this offering that might lead to a date."

"Whatever you say Ash," she said before walking into the station.

Spencer's POV

The ride over to the UCLA campus was only about twenty minutes. I'm glad that Ashley woke up because; I definitely wouldn't have made it. I check in at the front desk and was led to where the rest of the tour group was. The tour didn't take that long, but let's say that I would rather go to the east coast. One of the guides introduced us to the head of the Athletic Department…that was an interesting experience.

A few hours later and the tour was over, thank the lord. I hate touring colleges. I still had about an hour to kill before the next bus came. I stopped by a nice looking café on campus.

"Spencer," I heard someone call out my name. I wiped around to see who it was. Aiden was standing in line a few people behind me.

"Aiden, hey," I said moving to join him, "what are you doing?"

"I go here," he said, "I'm finishing up my summer classes. What are you doing here?"

"My mother…"

"Ahhh, the college touring," he said completing my thought, "my mother was like that."

We ordered out food and found a table outside to sit and eat.

"So how are you liking California so far?"

"I love it here, especially the weather."

"I can imagine; Ohio has unpredictable weather," he said taking a bite of his sandwich, "so how did you and Ashley meet?"

"Lacrosse and she's my neighbor."

"Interesting…are you sure that is all?"

"What do you mean?"

"You don't have any other feelings towards her?"

"Um…well I do…um, I care about her a lot," I said nervously.

"I see the way you look at her and the way that she looks at you. To be honest, it's the first time I have seen her look happy since Madison. But now I have to be that good friend. If you break her heart in any way, I will kick your ass." I nodded my head. "Good! So are you doing anything later?"

"Um I don't know. I was sort of waiting for Ashley to come up with something. She said something about a cove and catching some waves." Aiden eyes lit up.

"It's a beautiful place, make sure Ashley take you before you leave."

"I'll make sure I do," I said packing up my things, "Aiden, can I ask you something?"

"That depends, what do you want to ask me?"

"How did Madison die? Ashley told me a little, but…"

"They were hit by a drunk driver, and were pushed into the path of a semi. The semi hit them, and they spun off the road, rolling. Ashley had a punctured lung from the steering wheel, and Madison was on the side that the semi hit. Madison had severe cranial bleed and skull fractures. I knew that she wasn't going to ever wake up again, but my parents were holding onto every hope. They blamed Ashley and wouldn't let her see Madison, until they got the news that she was brain-dead. They wouldn't let her attend the funeral, and then Ashley just left, moved to Ohio."

"What about your parents?"

"They eventually realized that it wasn't Ashley's fault, but by then it was too late and she was gone. She was one of the only ones that reminded them of Madison."

"Do you think that maybe I could visit Madison," I asked hesitantly.

"Of course, I think that she would want to meet you," Aiden said writing something on a piece of paper. I glanced down at it and noticed that he had written an address and a plot number.

I talked with Aiden for a little while longer before I had to leave and catch the train by to Ashley's. I sent Ashley a quick take saying that I was on the train back. She responded with a little smile and a heat emoji. When I got off at my stop, Ashley was leaning against she car looking at something on her phone. When she saw me coming her eyes lit up and the stuff on her phone had become unimportant.

"Hey," she said opening the car door for me, " how's the college touring going."

"Shoot me now, I'd rather used close my eyes and which ever one my finger lands on, I'll go there." I heard she let out a soft chuckle before closing the door and getting in on the driver's side. It was a quick drive back the house. Ashley talked a little about what she did while I was at UCLA.

"So do you have anything planned for tonight?"

"Well I was hoping that you would want to learn how to surf and then maybe dinner and a movie?"

"So, now you're asking me on a date?'

"Spencer Carlin, will you do me the honor of going out on a date with me?" I gave her a cheesy smile before giving her a passionate kiss.

"Of course I would love to."

When we got back Ashley sent me to my room to change into a swimsuit, and grab a spare change of clothes. I quickly changed and headed back downstairs. Ashley was rummage for a few things in the garage. There were board and a bag resting against her Jeep. A few minutes later Ashley reappeared with another similar looking back and a board. She was wearing running shorts and a tank top; I could see the faint outline of her bikini. She placed the boards and bags into the back seat of her Jeep before getting in. We fell into simply conversation on the drive over. I was a little confused when we pulled over the side of the road. She got out of the Jeep and grabbed the boards and bags.

"I hope you don't mind a small walk," she said handing me a board.

"Not at all," I said grabbing the board and following Ashley into the woods. There was a man-made trail leading into the woods; I'm assuming that Ashley made it. The walk was longer than I thought that it would be. Ashley looked back to check on me, every time she did I would try to not look exhausted, but then when she turned away I would go back to my huffing and puffing. The board just got heavier and heavier, just when I thought I was going to pass out the forest began to thin. The pathway opened up to a cove. There was a small beach with incredible waves.

"Ashley…this is beautiful," I breathed out.

"I thought that you would like it," she said shoving her board into the sand and setting down her bag.

"How did you find this place?"

"Aiden and I found it one day when we were surfing the coastlines," she said unzipping her bag. She pulled out a wet suit and began to put it on over her bikini. She motioned me to do the same by pointing the bag that she handed me earlier. I managed to get the suit on without any trouble. It was a little tight, probably one of Ashley's older ones. We grabbed our boards and headed out towards the water.

She taught the basics and had me paddle then stand up. We practiced that for a good hour before she let me try to catch a wave. I watched her and she paddled towards the wave. She was so graceful with her movements. Her arms pushed herself off the board and her long lean legs let her control the wave, it was amazing. When she paddled back to me and told it was my turn I knew that I was going to make a fool out of myself. I paddled towards the wave just as Ashley had done, and positioned myself. I felt the wave come up from under my board pushing me forward.

"Stand up!" I heard Ashley yell. She was moving her hands up telling me to stand up.

I pushed myself up on the board. It was less stable than I thought that it was going to be. I was losing my balance from left to right, but somehow I managed to stay on the board, probably because I was waving my arms around like an idiot trying to stay balanced. Right at the end of the wave, I lost it. I plunged into the water and I felt a tug on my leg where the board was attached. I swam back up and broke through the water. The board was a few feet away from me. I swam over to it and got back on. Ashley was paddling towards me.

"Are you okay?" she asked coming up next to me.

"I'm great!" I said happily looking at the wave that I have just surfed, "that was amazing."

"You looked good out there…well except the graceful fall that you took," she said. For that she received a face full of water. She turned and gave me a playful serious look before launching herself at me. We fell backwards into the water. It was shallow enough that the water went up to our waists.

We finally pulled ourselves out of the water a few hours later. I had managed to get somewhat better at surfing. I made it through two waves without falling, but most of the time I was watching Ashley actual surf a wave. She was an amazing surfer, and I got to see her get some airtime, which was awesome. I will never be able to do that.

"Hungry?" she asked drying her hair with a towel?

"I'm starving," I said putting my hair into a messy bun.

"I hope you can wait an hour," she said pointing to the trail. I forgot that we had walked here. I gave her a small pout before grabbing my things and following her. It was a quicker wall back because most of it was downhill. Within the hour we were back at the car. We changed into different clothes. I had to wear the wetsuit back, because it was too tight to take off.

We drove to the large town over for dinner. Ashley let me choose where I wanted to eat. Honestly there were so many choices; I had Ashley spin me around and whichever restaurant my finger landed on we were eating there. It landed on a small seafood diner. We sat down and had a quiet dinner, considering both of us were too hungry to carry a conversation until our stomachs stopped grumbling.

"So what do you want to do next," Ashley said walking next to me.

"Anything," I replied.

"There's a wharf a little ways down. We could just have a relaxed night," she suggested.

"That sounds great." We headed towards the wharf. It was a nice night out. The sun had just begun to set. Ashley's hand was entangled in mine as we walked down the boardwalk. Lights lit up the wharf. We found a place by the end of the wharf to relax.

"I had a great day," I said turning to Ashley. She had her back against the railing and was looking up at the sky, as if she was trying to say something.

"I had a great day too Spencer. One of the best day I've had in a while."
