Chapter 9:  First Loves and First Times

Ashley’s POV

As much as I never want this kiss to end I know it must.  Spencer and I have so much to talk about.  First of all being why the hell is she soaking wet?  And not in the way you’re all thinking, pervs.  So I slowly pull away from the kiss.

“I love you.”   I say with a smile as I caress her face.

“I love you.”  She smiles back leaning in for another kiss.  God how I want to kiss her, but I can’t we need to talk.

“Spence wait.  Can we talk?”  I ask before she pulls me back into another make out session.

“Umm…yeah.  What’s on your mind beautiful?”  She asks as if there’s nothing wrong.

“Well for starters why are you drenched?  What happened with your mom?  How did you get out of the house? And..”  She cuts me off with a quick peck on the lips, which as usual ends all coherent thoughts.

“Slow down babe.  I’ll answer all your questions, okay.”  I give a small nod, encouraging her to continue and she takes my hands in hers.  “Well after you left my mom and I got into it.  So I hid out in my room until my dad talked to me.  He said he was okay with us being together.”  She says smiling.

“He knows?”  I ask in shock.  I so didn’t see that coming.

“Yeah well apparently we aren’t very good actresses.  He totally didn’t buy the whole we’re just friends bit.  But he’s cool with it.  He even helped me get out of the house by distracting my mom and giving me his car. “  I always loved her dad.

“You’re dad is so awesome.  Remind me to thank him later.”  I can’t help but smile, we won’t have to hide anymore.  “That’s all great, but you still haven’t got to the part where you decided to take a bath in your clothes.” 

“Well I was getting there.  On my way here the car ran out of gas, so I decided to walk.” 

“What?!  Spence you’re crazy.  You should’ve called me I would’ve came and got you.” 

“No, no baby.  It’s okay.  I was only a mile away.  I couldn’t stand to be that close to you and not see you.   I’m so sorry about tonight.”  She says starting to tear up.
