She too is in shorts and a t-shirt. Her long blonde hair is clipped up in a twist and her blue eyes are begging me to forget everything I just promised myself.
Ashley: “Come on in.” I move aside as she walks into the room, taking it in as she goes.

Aiden: “Hey, Spencer.” Aiden turns his attention away from the TV and smiles at Spence. She returns his smile, although I see a little disappointment in her face. Aiden turns off the TV and gets situated in his bed.

Aiden: “I’m exhausted, do you mind if I leave the TV off and we turn out the lights?” Spencer and I both, a little too quickly, let him know that that is fine. She puts down her things and looks questionably at me.

Ashley: “This one’s mine,” I nod my head towards the bottom bunk and pull the tapestry aside so that she can climb in. God, what an amazing ass! She gets under the covers as I let out the breath I’ve been holding and walk over to the light switch and flip it off. The room plunges into darkness and although it is like 9:30 on a Friday night, I can’t even begin to imagine a better way of spending it.

I slowly drawl back the tapestry again and crawl into my now Spencer-filled bed. She is lying on her side, elbow propping her head up and she has a secret smile playing on her lips. I mimic her position, facing her, and I become immediately aware of our close proximity. Having her in my bed now is so different then we were lying in her’s; it’s so much better.

For one, the tapestry was a great call, making the night seem darker. It also serves as a wall, creating our own little world. It makes our nearness that much closer and the sounds of our breathing that much more intense.

Spencer: “Thanks for letting me stay.” She whispers and I can feel her warm breath wash over my face, making me drunk with Spencer.

Ashley: “Of course, anytime. I glad you thought to ask me.”

Spencer: “Who else would I ask?” She says it as if she is surrendering herself to me. What else can I do but stroke her cheek and move myself that much closer to the girl in my bed, to the girl in my dreams, and the girl in my heart.
