Ashley wakes up in Spencer’s arms, their legs intertwined, bodies so close together Ashley can feel Spencer’s body heat radiating from her. Spencer is asleep, her lips brushing Ashley’s shoulder, her breath blowing gently on Ashley’s angel wing. Ashley takes Spencer’s hand in hers and brings it to her mouth, placing a kiss on the inside. Spencer feels a touch on her hand a mile away from where she is. When she wakes up, Ashley is in her arms tracing the lines in her hand. “Morning,” she whispers in Ashley’s ear, kissing the lobe twice. Ashley turns her body over so that the two girls are face to face, their hands resting in the space between them. “You okay?” Ashley asks, brushing a strand of hair out of Spencer’s face. Spencer leans in, places a kiss on Ashley’s nose, smiles, “Never been better.”
“Come here.” Ashley holds out her arms, Spencer scooting a few inches, placing herself in Ashley’s body. They are wrapped up in each other, Spencer faced at Ashley’s chest, placing another kiss on Ashley’s collarbone. “What happens next, Ash?”
Ashley sighs, squeezing Spencer closer to her. “This one’s your call, Spence. But I want you to know, I’ll go slow if you want. I promise I won’t ruin this.”
Spencer breathes in Ashley’s scent, happier than she’s been in a while. “I like this. I like lying here with you.”
“Me too.”
Spencer’s phone rings just then, a silent ring leading to a place Spencer doesn’t want to be. “Spence?”
“Let it ring.” Ashley kisses Spencer’s hair, despite the persistent phone. “God, who is calling me?”
“You probably should answer it. Next thing you know your parents will have the FBI out looking for you.”
Spencer sighs, kisses Ashley before searching out her phone. “It’s my dad.” She says to Ashley before answering it. “Hey Dad. What? Slow down.” Ashley watches as Spencer listens, knows it’s only bad news that awaits them. “Are you serious? Oh my God. No, no, I’ll be there right now. Yes, I’m coming. Okay, bye.”
Spencer looks up at Ashley, glad that she has someone to be there for her now. “It’s Glen. Apparently he was playing street ball last night and he broke his leg.”
Ashley is already out of bed, walking towards the closet. “Let me just put on a clean shirt and then I’ll drive you.”
Ashley is ahead of Spencer out the door, but Spencer grabs her hand, pulling Ashley back to her. She kisses her passionately, their foreheads touching when they break away. “Let’s do this,” Spencer says, holding tightly to Ashley’s hand as they leave.
