Chapter Forty-Two

“Oh god my neck!” Ashley cried as she woke up on the couch still wrapped in Spencer’s arms. She looked over at the blonde and noticed that she was still wearing her pant suit. She let her finger drift down Spencer’s jawline and traced her lips. Spencer let out a small moan and Ashley smiled. “Oh baby!” Ashley whispered in the blonde’s ear.

“Too tired…no talk.” Spencer muttered in her sleep.

“Baby we should move you upstairs you are still in your work clothes.” Ashley said standing up. She bent down and brushed some strands of blonde hair away from her eyes before bending down and capturing Spencer’s lips. “Come on baby.” Ashley whispered again trying to get the blonde to rise.

“I can’t Jessica…” Spencer muttered.

Ashley looked down at the blonde and wasn’t sure why the name of the blonde’s ex lover would be coming from her lips. “You can’t what Spence?” Ashley asked not sure she wanted to hear the answer.

“I can’t…”

“Spencer…what can’t you do?”

“I love her…”

“Love who?” Ashley asked frantically afraid that the blonde was referring to her ex. ‘Please don’t let this be happening…why is she thinking about Jessica?….why?’

Spencer woke up and found Ashley looking at her with a strange look. “Ash?…What’s wrong?” She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and tried to focus on the brunette.

“Jessica…” Ashley said sadly.

“What about Jessica?” Spencer asked completely confused.

“You tell me Spence.”

“There’s nothing to tell. She’s back for I don’t know how long and that’s all I know.” Spencer said firmly.

“She’s back? Why didn’t you tell me this?” Ashley said in a slightly angry tone.

“I only found out today when I was leaving…why did you take off?” Spencer said trying to change the focus to the brunette.

“Had a bad day…” Ashley said shrugging.

“Does this have anything to do with Sandra and her walking in on us? Oh god…she didn’t tell President Michaels did she?” Spencer said jumping up and pacing back and forth.

“No Spence she didn’t though she said she should have. I think we can trust her to just let this blow over as long as we don’t do it again. Now tell me…do you still love her?”
