“Is being just friends to hard for you?” She kneels in front of me, resting her hands on my knees.

“No.” I smile and run my hands along hers. “It makes it easy knowing you want me.” Spencer throws her head back laughing.

“Are you serious?” She questions and I nod. “Your ego is amazing.”

“Yeah…hey?” I get her attention back on me. “Do you like my TV?” Spencer looks passed me to see the old box.

“I love anything that works.” I can tell she means it. “Wh…” I cut her off when I lean forward and press my lips to hers.

Neither one of us move. We just stay with our lips press together for what seems like forever, but in reality only a minute.

“What happen to self control?” Spencer whispers in against my lips. Her eyes are closed and her breathing is light. I just shrug.

“Are you still only up for friendship?”

“You know we’re more than friends.” And we are. We’re in that gray area. The area of unknown.

“You smell good.” I interrupt her thoughts.

“Focus.” She laughs and leans back on the floor.

“Sorry.”

“No you’re not.”

“True.” Spencer just bits her lip and stares at me.

“Let me take you to dinner?”

“Are you asking me out?” I smile.

“Yeah…”

“Tonight?”

“No.” She frowns. “It’s too late?” It’s almost going on eleven.

“Ugh…but I want to date tonight?” Spencer laughs at the pout on my face and the whining in my voice.  

“Shut up and be happy you got a kiss.” She slaps my arm.

“Can I have another?” I grin.

“Gosh Ash, you’re so greedy.” She sighs and bits her lip. “Maybe after dinner tomorrow night, you can get a kiss.”

“Do you want a hot pocket?” I question after we sit in silence for a minute. My hot pocket is probably cold now.

“What?”

“I was in the middle of making myself a hot pocket when you showed up begging me to take you back.” I joke.

“Real funny.” She stands up. “Are you going to give me a ride to the kitchen?” She bits her lip. Spencer’s been getting more and more comfortable with me holding her and her sitting in my lap.

“I’ll give you something to ride.” Shit, it just slipped out. Get your head out of the gutter Ash!“Sorry.” I blush.

“It’s alright.” She sits in my lap. “I know you want me.”

“I do.” I kiss her cheek. I start pushing us into the kitchen.

 By tomorrow night Spencer Carlin will be my girlfriend. You can count on it.
