Spencer: I’ll give you the pajama pants, they are warmer. My bathroom is through that door right there. 

Ashley: Oh thats ok, I’ll take shorts if you got any. I’m not used to sleeping in that much clothing. 

Spencer: Oh…ok. So what do you usually sleep in? (tilts her head and takes a drink of her water)

Ashley: Well, at home I sleep in nothing.

Spencer: (she chokes on her water)

Ashley: haha, whoa Carlin don’t have a coronary. I just get hot in my sleep sometimes.

(I walk into the bathroom and change my clothes. I’m wearing a tank and some lavender shorts as I walk out, She’s sitting on the bed, already changed)

Spencer; Hey they fit! Good. 

Ashley: Did you think I would bust the seams or something? (I raise my eyebrows and smirk)

Spencer: No not at all, haha. Purple suits you well, its cute. 

(She gets under the covers and I sit on the floor, grabbing a blanket)

Spencer: hey why are you down there? 

Ashley: Oh, well I just didn’t know your protocol. If you let strangers in your bed or not?(I smirk, crinkling my nose)

Spencer: Well, usually I don’t but when they are like, this cute in my shorts then I make an exception. Plus, you aren’t THAT creepy…(she smiles back at me and crinkles her nose in return)

Ashley: Oh that is it! (I jump up and start to grab my things, just messing around of course.)

Spencer: Oh no. I didn’t mean to…(she grabs my hand and pulls me toward her)

(we stand there, staring at each other. My god, she wants to kiss me.)

Ashley:(whispers) I was just kidding Spence, I won’t leave you.

(I wrap my finger around the hand that is holding mine, she smiles when she sees this. I put my hand to her cheek, she blushes. Then smiles more. Then she pulls me toward the bed. We sit down)

Spencer: (Sighs) Is this weird? (holds our joined hands up)

Ashley: Not unless you think it is…

(She leans in towards me, scooting toward my side. She wants to kiss me, and I’m thinking the same thing. She looks at me, then looks down. She smiles and giggles a little)

Ashley: Whats so funny?

Spencer: I don’t know. I’m just so confused…

Ashley: (I lead into her sentence)…and this is probably not helping?

Spencer: Actually, its the only thing I’m not confused about…but yet I am. I’ve known you for a whole 48 hours. But I have a question to ask…Its probably none of my business. I just want to know…that thing you wanted to tell me before dinner, before mom walked in. 

Ashley: (nods) Yeah?

Spencer: Are you…do you like…(I cut her off.)

Ashley: Do you?( I hold up our hands, still together) 

Spencer: I don’t know about anyone else, I just know you.

(She leans in and I stop her. As much as I wanted to kiss her, I knew I probably couldn’t stop myself after we did. I like her too much for that.)

Ashley:(whispers) Spence…if you aren’t sure then I wouldn’t…

(She stared at me, like “whatever” and smiled. Then layed down and turned off her lamp.)

Ashley: umm…ok. night? ( I layed down and got under the covers. Then, she turned towards me. I could see her blue eyes in the light from the window…the “moon light” as cliché as that sounded…)

Spencer: Ash…
