“So…” Spencer starts when we’re sitting in my car, in the parking lot.

“Can we go back to your place?”

“What?” Spencer eyebrows rise.

“Not…for that…” I pause and smile. “Even though I wouldn’t be oppose to…that.” Spencer swats my arm. “No seriously. The most I’ve seen of your house is the porch.”

Spencer spends a lot of time at my place, but I’ve only know where she lives and what her porch looks like. I’ve never been over to her place. It’s kind of sad. We’ve been friends longer then we’ve been in our relationship, and all this time I have yet to see her place.

“Um…I don’t kn…”

“What… your other girlfriend waiting for you?” I tease. Spencer just rolls her eyes at me. “Are you hiding something, Spencer? I secret child, boyfriend, weird sex toys, huh?”

“No. You know it all.”

“I don’t think I do.” I say while reaching over and running my finger along her jaw.

“You do.”

“Mmmm…” I lean over and she meets me halfway to share a kiss. “How old were you when you lost your virginity?” I question when the kiss is over. “Random. I know.” I smile at her.

“Nineteen.” She says quietly.

“Nineteen?” I say in aw. “Seriously…you were nineteen?”

“That’s what I said.” She says getting defensive. I watch as she puts on her seat belt and crosses her arms, a clear sign that she’s ready to go.

“I’m sorry. It’s just…” I pull her arm until they unfold and grab one of her hands to hold. “You are so fucking hot and just so beautiful that I can’t imagine someone not trying to get into your pants sooner than that.” I say in honesty.

“Yeah, well…they tried but they didn’t succeed.” She sighs out. “Can we leave, please?”

“I had been sixteen for a whole two months before I gave mine up…” I ramble as I pull out of the parking lot, headed towards Spencer’s place. Spencer stays quiet as I tell her of my first time. “You okay?” I ask squeezing her hand.

“Yeah,” She says quietly looking out of the window.

“Okay.” I’m kind of put off by her attitude. “Tell me about the guy you gave your virginity to and why it took ni…”

“No.” Is the word that silences me.

“Spencer?”

“I don’t want to talk about that right now, Ashley.” She says easing her hand out of mine and resting it on her own lap.

“Okay.” We make our way to her place in complete silence. Every now and then I will look over at Spencer just to see the back of her head.

“I guess I can’t come in?” I say once I’m parked in front of her house.

“I had fun tonight.” She says ignoring my question. I sigh and run my fingers through my hair.

“Yeah…me too.” Spencer pushes open her door. “Hey…” I reach out and touch her arm. “…talk to me.”

“About?”

“I don’t know…whatevers bothering you.”

“Nothing is bothering me.”

“Oh please…” I through my hands up, “Any time the word sex or anything associated with it comes up, you run for the fucking hills.” I say in frustration.

“I don’t run anywhere.” Is her defense.

“On no? What about that time I asked you about how many people you kissed? Kissed!,” I recall. “You freaked out and left my house.”

“I don’t want to argue with you.” She steps out of the truck.

“I don’t want to argue with you.” I repeat her words. “I want to understand.” I say sincerely.

We stare at each other for a minute before she steps out and closes the door. Spencer then walks around to my side of the truck. I roll down my window.

“Will you call me tomorrow?” I ask through the tension.

“Do you want me to?” I just roll my eyes and lean my head toward her for a kiss.

“Call me.” I say when we break apart.
