“Why do you gotta call her that?”

“I don’t, but it fits her so well.”

“What the fuck? Seriously, this vindictive side you got goin on isn’t cool.”

“¿Me parezco yo a cuida?”

The taller girl stared at her for a moment, her eyes not giving anything away before she stood up and looked back down on the Latina. “No. But you should.” She walked around to the driver’s side door and jerked it open in frustration. “Get in, I’ll take you back King.”

Making fists with her hands, Madison bit her lip to keep the tears at bay. Her initial plan of ignoring the girl didn’t work, so now she had to use a technique that she knew was effective from the start but didn’t use because of how much effort and pain it would cause them both. If Dano wasn’t going to back off, then Madison was going to push her away, no matter how much it would kill them.

When Ashley woke up, she was lying flat on her stomach with the comforter and sheets pooled around her waist. A slight chill flowed through her as the hem of her tank top was pulled up to reveal her lower back, but she didn’t fight back the hum of pleasure that erupted when she felt fingertips tracing the lines of her tattoo, causing goosebumps to rise on her skin. Even after the ink had healed completely, the area was still left noticeably more sensitive and she loved it when someone touched her there. She loved it even more that it was Spencer’s fingers causing her body to react this way and she sighed contentedly.

“Did I wake you up?” Spencer asked.

Ashley simply shook her head and closed her eyes, continuing to enjoy the sensation of the pattern being traced on her. These interwoven moments of peace amongst the dizzying chaos were like an oasis in vast arid desert; Refreshing and life saving. Barely sleeping for the past few days and being as strong as she could for Spencer meant that she rarely had time to just relax and just be. Now, in her bedroom, all alone with her girlfriend, she could just bask in the tranquility of being with someone who she was comfortable to be in complete silence with. She knew that was a rare find and she was glad she found that type of ease with Spencer.
