Ashley turned around from the sink and smiled, “Hey.”

Spencer stepped forward, “Hey yourself, haven’t spoken to you for a minute.”

Ashley continued to smile at the blond, her smile was infectious for the blond. Ashley spoke, “Yeah, sorry, I was just…”

“Scared,” the blond finished for her. She walked over to the counter and took a seat.

Ashley nodded, “Yeah.”

Spencer nodded her head a little, “Me too.”

Ashley cocked an eyebrow, “Really?”

“Yeah, I was scared. I mean, I’m not scared of you…but more of us.”

{i]There isn’t no ‘us’, Spencer thought sadly.

“We’re in a confusing thing aren’t we?” Ashley asked as she wiped off her hands on a dish towel and looked the blond in the eyes.

Spencer nodded.

There was a strong silence in the room. Spencer didn’t know what to say to make this situation anymore comfortable. She could easily play it off, that would be the easiest way in doing it. She could masquerade as the older girl’s friend and pull all her feelings away and lock them up. But in the end who would that help? End the end they both will get fed up with hiding their feelings and will still want to do something about it. She knew it wasn’t possible to just jump in back where they used to be, but she also knew that it wasn’t going to help them to ignore this situation.

Denying themselves of their feelings was ignorance.

Spencer played with her hands as she looked into Ashley’s brown orbs. There was n understanding between them, like they could easily read each other’s thoughts. Spencer would gladly run back to the older girl, but the cards where in Ashley’s hands at this moment. She had to choose what she wanted to do. Did she want to live the masquerade as ‘Happy Family’ with Aiden, or did she want to live her life with Spencer. This was something that the brunette needed time to think out. She already knew what she wanted, but she needed to figure out how to achieve it. Spencer was going to give her that time to figure it out. She couldn’t do anything else.

“Do you want to have a play date for the kids at my place?” Spencer asked, trying to break the silence.

It was the first thought that she had in her mind that could include the children into both their lives. Start out small, Spencer thought to herself.

Ashley smiled, “Yeah that sounds great. How about Monday?”

Spencer nodded her head, “Yeah, that sounds great.”

They smiled at each other before breaking out in laughter at the whole tenseness being broken. Their laughter rang through out the house. It was real and genuine.

Aiden watched this whole scene from the doorway.
