“Good morning Gingersnap,” Spencer could only smile as she started a pot of coffee. Nothing could bring her down today, it was Saturday, and tonight she was finally going out on a date with Ashley. She hummed happily as she poured food into the cat bowl. After grabbing a mug and the morning paper, she sat down at the table and started to read. She couldn’t read more than two sentences of the front story, she was just way too excited. She didn’t want to read the paper; to be in Ashley’s arms again, that was what she really wanted.

She let thoughts of Ashley completely take her over as she closed her eyes. Her soft hands that glided down Spencer’s body, her kisses that left bruises on her lips, the way she yelled out her name. She imagined Ashley’s head between her legs, teasing her with her tongue. Spencer’s breathing became labored, as she absentmindedly rubbed her thigh.

“Mmm, I wish you were here with me,” she whispered to herself, her fingers noticed that she was very, very wet. She could feel Ashley wrap her arms around her, her breath shaking her, “I am here babe.”

Spencer snapped her eyes open. That was not Ashley’s voice. She turned around in her chair and saw Aiden, with only boxers on, smiling back at her.

Spencer put down her fork and took a sip of her beer. This was too hard, a tight knot was forming in her stomach. She took a deep breath and looked into Aiden’s eyes. “Listen, Aiden…”

“Yeah babe?” He looked back at her innocently.

He had no idea what Spencer was about to do, she felt horrible.

“We. We need to talk about something. Abou- about our relationship.”

His eyes became heavy and saddened, he looked like a lost little puppy.

“I-I-I think,” she continued stuttering.

“I know babe, I know.” Wait, he couldn’t possibly know about Ashley. Spencer sat in her chair shocked. “I know we’ve been kind of distant lately, and you’ve been spending time with Ashley more, now I don’t know why. I’ve been trying to figure out if there was anything that I did wrong or something. But there is something that you need to know.”
