The two girls went and changed back to their regular clothes and Ashley couldn’t help but make a few crack jokes about getting Spencer all sweaty and hot and bothered before dinner.

They clamored back to the car and once they got in Ashley headed off in a new direction.

“That was really fun”, the blonde sighed.

Ashley grinned happily, “my Dad used to take me when I was little. I thought it would be kinda cool” Ashley looked over at Spencer who had just reached over and clasped their hands together. Greedily she had pulled Ashley’s hand into her lap and was now rubbing small circles on the back of the girl’s wrist with her thumb.

“I’m so glad you agreed to go out with me tonight” Ashley whispered, her voice barely louder then the sound of the fan humming in the background.

Spencer looked at her intently, Ashley’s eyes were on the road and Spencer looked at her quizzically. “Did you really think I wouldn’t agree to?”

“Well, I guess I just thought you might not want to risk being seen in public together. I know this is new to both of us but Spence,” Ashley paused. “This really isn’t the right time for me to tell you”

Spencer smiled inwardly “its ok Ash I’m sure whatever you want to say will mean just as much later”

Ashley nodded her head and turned the car into the parking lot of the local pizzeria. Spencer grinned as she caught sight of the twinkle lights that lined the patio. The couple walked up together and requested a table for two. Their waiter Mario set them at a comfortable secluded booth that overlooked the patio.

Soft Italian ballads flowed out of the overhead speakers and the smell of fresh mozzarella and basil wafted past the girl’s noses. “I hope this is ok, I know it’s a little casual but I thought you might just want to relax after all that exercise”

Spencer chuckled, “Yeah Ash you gave me a good workout” She suddenly blushed realizing what she just said.

Ashley quickly swooped in and attempted to ease Spencer’s embarrassment, “It’s alright Spence you gave me a run for my money” I am so not helping. Ashley grinned and laughed as Spencer covered her face with the menu. Ashley leaned forward and reached out grasping Spencer’s hand. She entwined their fingers and the blonde peeked out from behind the menu only to be greeted with kind eyes.
