“Spence?” Ashley said, gently.

“Hmm?” Spencer said, just as softly, enjoying Ashley’s fingers.

“What do you see me as?” Ashley asked, continuing to stroke Spencer’s hair.

Spencer was tempted to ask Ashley what she meant, but she knew exactly what she was talking about.

Damn.

“Honestly?” Spencer asked.

Maybe I should lie… Nah.

“Yeah.” Ashley replied.

“Well…” Spencer started, looking up as she thought about how to reply. “Of course I’ve flirted with girls just like boys and even made out with some…including Madison.” Spencer was unaware of Ashley narrowing her eyes. “But usually I was just playing around or showing off or something, you know?” Spencer could feel Ashley nodding her head. “But for some reason, it just feels different with you…I don’t want to play games.” Spencer timidly glanced up at Ashley. “Does that make sense?”

Ashley was quiet for a moment, increasing Spencer’s nervousness.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have told you all of that…” Spencer said, sighing deeply as she sat up.

“No.” Ashley said quickly, grabbing Spencer’s arm gently. She pulled her down so that Spencer was even more on top of her than before.

Oh my God! Spencer thought, her mind going blank. I’m on top of her…

“No.” Ashley said again. “I’m glad you told me all of that.”

Spencer looked doubtful. Ashley shrugged.

“I mean, in case you didn’t know, I am gay.” Ashley said, smirking slightly. Spencer blushed and turned her head.

She’s making me soft.

“I sort of figured that.” Spencer said, looking up to meet Ashley’s eyes. Ashley raised her eyebrows. “I mean I’ve heard people talk about it before.” Spencer continued. “But people talk about me too, and a lot of the time those rumors aren’t true.”

It was Ashley’s turn to look doubtful. Spencer chuckled.

“Okay, most of the time they are true.” Spencer said, shrugging. “But sometimes they aren’t.” Ashley grinned.

“Well this one is one hundred percent true.” Ashley said, waiting for Spencer’s reaction. Spencer only nodded her head. “Does that bother you?”

Hell no.

“Did you not hear anything I just said?” Spencer said as she laughed. “Of course it doesn’t bother me. It makes me think I might have a chance.” Ashley smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind Spencer’s ear.

“Spence,” Ashley started. “You’re lying on top of me…how can you think you don’t have a chance?”

“I’m a blonde remember?” Spencer said, smiling. Spencer’s heart almost melted as her eyes met Ashley’s gaze. Ashley smiled gently.

“Come here.” She said, guiding Spencer’s lips to her own. Spencer hesitated for a second, waiting for the devil and angel to appear on her shoulders. She pushed that out of her head and allowed herself to be pulled down.

Spencer swore she could see stars as their lips met. She tasted just like…Ashley. She moaned as Ashley’s tongue traveled across her lips. Spencer didn’t even remember rolling over as they continued to kiss, Ashley now on top. Spencer ran her hands through Ashley’s hair, pulling her closer. Ashley moaned as Spencer expertly nibbled on her bottom lip. Spencer murmured in protest as Ashley pulled back.

“Wow.” Ashley said, smirking. “I see you’ve had some practice.” Spencer shrugged.

“I can say the same about you.” She said as she finally sat up. Ashley laughed as she looked at Spencer. “What?” Spencer asked, confused.

“You are so gonna have to wash your hair tomorrow.” Ashley replied, standing up.

“Haha. Very funny.” Spencer said as Ashley pulled her up. “But you might wanna take a look in the mirror before you talk about me.” Ashley stopped laughing and shook her head, causing sand to fall in all directions.

“Shit.” She said. Spencer only shook her head, smiling.

“What time is it?” Spencer asked as they walked towards the car. Ashley looked down at her phone.

“Almost one o clock.” She replied as they climbed into the car.

“Damn…I was supposed to be home by 12.” Spencer said, wondering how much trouble she would be in.

“Spencer Carlin has a curfew?” Ashley chuckled as she began driving. Spencer only smiled.

“Just drive.”
