Rain drops splattered on the window.  Spencer blinked and turned away from the computer screen.  ‘It’s going to be another long night in the library,’ she thought to herself.  Spencer leaned over, took her headphones out of her bag, put them in her ears, and put her iPod on her “Rainy Day” playlist. 

"Can’t you see that it’s just rainin’
There ain’t no need to go outside"

Spencer leaned her head back and contemplated.  ‘God, how long has it been since I’ve heard this song?’

"Maybe we could sleep in
I’ll make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it’s the weekend now"

‘Senior year…High School…,’ Spencer silently recalled, and then, like a car slowly rolling down a hill, picking up speed, and finally crashing into another car at the bottom, the memory of that day came tumbling out.  

“I love you, Ash,” Spencer whispered. 

Ashley grinned.  “You know you’re hair smells like bacon, right?”

“Well, I guess I’m going to have to take a shower after we finish eating, huh?  Can’t get back into bed with bacon seeping from my pores, now, can I?” Spencer looked at Ashley and giggled. 

When they had finished their pancakes and bacon, Ashley stood and said, “Go ahead in the shower, Spence.  I’ll clean up in here.” 

Spencer’s eyes widened.  “Really?  You’re going to do the dishes?”  Spencer stood up and gave Ashley a quick peck on the cheek.  “Wow,” she mused and then bit her lip.  “Hmm, Ash?”

“I want you to trust me and I will do everything I can to make that happen.  I will never let you down again, Spencer.  I promise you,” confessed Ashley. 

Spencer smiled. 

Ashley reached over and lightly tapped Spencer’s ass.  “Now hurry up and get in the shower before I change my mind about the dishes!” 

Spencer walked into the bathroom. She pulled the tank top over her head and wiggled out of her shorts and thong.  Spencer reached into the shower and turned the water on to warm it up.  After taking off her bra, she gathered up her clothes and threw them into the laundry basket.  She carefully stepped into the shower and adjusted the water temperature.  After about fifteen minutes, Spencer had washed her body, her hair, and ran a razor over a few necessary spots.  Eyes closed, she held her head back, trying to get the last bit of conditioner out of her hair when she heard the shower door close.  Spencer opened her eyes to find Ashley standing naked in front of her with her cute, nose-crinkling grin.
