“Are you coming up?” Ashley asked, biting on her bottom lip. For yet another reason she couldn’t explain, she suddenly felt nervous.

“Only if you really want me to.”

A few days ago Spencer had moved out of the loft she had shared briefly with Ashley and into her own apartment a few blocks away. She had ultimately decided that living with Ashley so soon was a huge mistake. And though coming home to Ashley had been nice, Spencer was enjoying her independence. It had been awhile since she had truly lived on her own in her own space. It was a welcomed change.

“I really, really want you to. Come on…please,” Ashley begged, looking like the younger version of herself that used to tempt Spencer to spend the night in high school.

“Ok,” she agreed and followed Ashley out of the car and up to her loft.

They barely made it in the door before Ashley started unbuttoning her shirt. Her fingers moved expertly to her bra and in no time at all Spencer could feel the cool air against her naked body as she stood in the middle of Ashley’s foyer.

“I’ve missed you,” Ashley said, saying the words into the skin of Spencer’s neck.

“It’s been three days,” Spencer replied, unzipping Ashley’s skirt.

“I know…but I miss having you in my bed…and I miss having you inside me…and I miss having you in the morning before work…”

“It’s been three days,” Spencer replied, allowing Ashley to prop her up on the back of the couch closest to the fireplace.

“It’s been too long.”

Spencer leaned back, creating space between her and Ashley, “Ash, you know that I can’t live here, right?”

“Right,” Ashley said, attempting to slide her hand between Spencer’s legs.

The blonde is relentless, “You know it’s better this way.”

“I know, I know…now let me in.”

“Not until you convince me that you know living apart is a good idea,” Spencer said, looking deep into brown eyes, “I’m serious.”

“Spence, I completely agree that you having your own place is what’s best for us, ok? I just got used to the idea of having you here. It’s going to take some time, but I’ll get used to it.”
Spencer nodded then moved forward to kiss the brunette softly on the mouth, “I love you.”
