“Hey, I had inspiration after I dropped you off this morning and wanted to get it out. Plus no one really shows up the first day of classes anyway. Now come on you lazy bum, get up and listen.” The blonde stands and walks over to take a seat on the floor near the desk chair and holds her hands out. “Give me the headphones. It’ll sound better if I can drown out your annoying feet pacing the floor as I try to listen to it.”

"Whatever. Here you go m’lady.”

“Why thank you kind madam.”

“You’re such a loser.”

“But a loser that you love, now shoo, go away so I can concentrate.”

Just as the blonde called it, as the song began to play through the headphones Ashley started to pace the floor. She noticed Spencer’s laid back demeanor change and her eyes closed as she went into thinking/concentrating mode.

Normally it was just the sheer anticipation of wanting Spencer to like something she did but this time the song was about Spencer so it was especially important to need her to like it.

She hadn’t noticed but apparently she took up rubbing her temples and closing her eyes while laid back on the bed and was startled by a grinning blonde hovering over her.

“So I take it you like the song.”

“I really, really like it. What, or should I say whom, was this so called inspiration of yours?”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about, Spencer.”

“So you weren’t thinking of this super sexy blonde that you met not too long ago, who you absolutely adore and thinks that the songs is amazing?” she says throwing a confident smirk to her face.

“Nope. Not in the least bit. But I was thinking about this chick I met the other night at the mall. She was so hot and had these huuuge-OWWW!!” She shrieked and sat up at the punch sent to her stomach. “What the hell Spencer?”

“That wasn’t funny.”

“Oh but it was.”

“Whatever. Anyway, I totally love the song” she says placing a barely there kiss on the corner of the brunettes mouth. “Could I possibly trouble you to put it on my ipod? PLEASE!!!”

“Of course I can do that but for a small fee.” She puckers up and points to her lips and the blonde quickly replies joining their lips in a chaste but lingering kiss.

“How’s that?”

“Perfect”

“Can you play it for me again? On the speakers this time.”

“Sure, one sec.” Ashley hops off the bed to remove the headphones from her desktop and plays the song over her speakers. She walks back to the bed and extends her hand for the blonde to take, “dance with me.”

You only stay with me in the morning
You only hold me when I sleep
I was meant to tread the water but now I’ve gotten in too deep
For every piece of me that wants you another piece backs away.

‘Cause you give me something that makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing but I’m willing to give it a try
Please give me something ’cause someday I might know my heart

You only waited up for hours just to spend a little time alone with me
And I can say I’ve never bought you flowers, I can’t work out what they mean
I never thought that I’d love someone that was someone else’s dream

‘Cause you give me something that makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing but I’m willing to give it a try
Please give me something ’cause someday I might call you from my heart
But it might be a second too late
And the words I could never say gonna come out anyway

‘Cause you give me something that makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing but I’m willing to give it a try
Please give me something ’cause someday I might know my heart

I shake my head out of my thoughts and place all the items back in the box to store away for good now.
