Cecile looked after her niece and Ashley in slight amusement as they shoved past her and ran down the stairs. They’d been up to something, and Cecile would be damned if she didn’t find out sooner or later.

As Spencer stepped out into the piercing cold, she fell slightly at ease. It had definitely dropped a couple of degrees since them arriving, but it was nice to feel something besides warm weather after so many months. She needed to calm down. Her heart was still beating irregularly from the near walk in.

Ashley stepped beside the girl and glared in her direction. The blonde turned her head and gave her girlfriend a once over. She was in one of Spencer’s old heavy winter coats, and she had her arms wrapped around herself to try and hide from the cold.

"You so owe me," the brunette snapped. They were the first words she’d spoken since talking to Cecile up in their bedroom.

Spencer understood what she meant by them. Their make out session would have definitely led elsewhere, but it had turned for the worse when they were rudely interrupted. The blonde knew that Ashley always ended up sexually frustrated when they weren’t able to finish what had started.

She vaguely remembered a time about a week or two ago when they were at her house. Alone of course. They’d never try anything when any of the other Carlins were home. It was right after school, and they were in Spencer’s room – both almost completely unclothed – with Ashley shoved up against the bedroom door. Then the blonde had heard the front door slam closed. Thank God, Paula had been pissed off at something that day, or they wouldn’t have heard the door slam, and they’d both be in deep shit.

"Hey, it wasn’t my fault," the blonde answered with a roll of her eyes. She started to walk forward before continuing, "But if you really need it, we can do a remake of my first time, and I’ll fuck you in the barn." She regretted that at the same second it rolled off her tongue, but she kept walking, anyway.

Ashley knew she meant it jokingly, but she still winced after hearing it. She could tell that the other girl was now somewhat depressed as she saw her back go slightly rigid and slumped over as she trudged on. Spencer had been having crazy mood swings, lately, and it was starting to worry the brunette.
