Chapter 8

 

Ashley stretched as she felt the morning sun hit her face. She turned in the bed to wrap her arms around Spencer. She soon found that she was wrapping her arms around pure air. She got up hastily and scanned the room until she felt relief flood her as she spotted the blonde sitting at the end of the bed wrapped in a comforter. Relief quickly turned to fear as she watched the blonde rock back and forth her head in her hands. The brunette crawled over to sit next to the blonde and cautiously laid her hand on the girl’s lower back, partially afraid of her reaction. She was pleased when she saw Spencer lean into her touch.

 

"Spencer are you okay?" she asked her words hanging heavy with concern and worry for her lawyer.

 

"Yeah I’m fine Ash…just…please," Spencer leaned in and kissed the brunette passionately. She pulled back after awhile her eyes closed, and she rested her forehead against the brunette’s. "Yeah…everything is going ot be just fine…"

 

"What was that for?" Ashley asked breathlessly, Spencer’s kisses always left her breathless, "I mean I’m not complaining or anything…" Spencer put her finger against Ashley’s lips silencing her ramblings and opened her mouth to reply.

 

"I felt something with you…something that I have never felt with Kyla, with anyone… you’re it Ashley, you’re it…" the brunette couldn’t help the pang of fear she felt and jerked back away from the blonde. Spencer’s eyes were now filled with fear at the brunette’s reaction. She had just bared her soul and had gotten what she was pretty sure was a negative reaction. Shit! This is what I get for being honest… "Did…did I say something wrong?"

 

"No you didn’t and that’s the problem…" the brunette sighed. Spencer was utterly confused now.

 

"I’m sorry…"

 

"Don’t…look we have a-a meeting in like a half-an-hour… you should get home, talk to your," she took a deep breath but found she couldn’t say it, "just I’ll see… I’ll see you around…" Ashley got up and walked over to the door to hold it ajar for the blonde. "Just getdressed and…leave, please…" Spencer hurriedly pullled on her clothes that were scattered throughout the room. When she was done she walked over to Ashley and the door, pausing for a second in the middle of the door frame, her eyes not looking at the brunette.
