Ashley took a seat back in her chair. An accomplished smile on her face, “That was easy…”

Spencer followed the older girl’s suit, “That was really easy. I mean, I’m still hurt, but it’s just gone.”

Ashley nodded, “Yeah, it still hurts.”

[i] ‘Cause it matters to me

Can you hear me?

Everyday I ask the same thing[/i]

Spencer looked over at the brunette. Her hair was now down in her face, the light curls in it reminded her of Ashley in high school. She looked down at the girl’s black chucks, the same ones that she had written on too long ago. Spencer remembers that Ashley refused to wear the shoes after Spencer wrote on them. She said she didn’t want them to get dirty, because if they got dirty, then she would have to wash them. Spencer had just laughed at the girl.

Spencer stood up; she took a step toward the girl and met her brown cocoa eyes. In this second, the girls made eye contact and Spencer bent down and embraced the smaller girl. The first kind of physical contact they had had in five years. Ashley wrapped her arms around the taller girl. The electrical shock that was running between both the girls, pulling them closer together, was strong. If anyone had touched them in that second, they would have been electrocuted to death.

Just as easily as the hug began, it ended too soon. Spencer pulled back, Ashley slowly letting go. Spencer took a step back and straightened her shirt. She had to get control of her self. She breathed and smiled lightly at the older girl. There was still so much want, so much need between them it made it hard to not jump each other. They knew the other had the same thoughts, but they didn’t know what to do about the thoughts.

[i] Will you ever know what happened to me?

It happens everyday

And you wonder what went on[/i]

It could be very simple. People get back together all the time, even when they did have children. But both women knew that it was too soon, and that it simply wasn’t the time.

That didn’t stop Ashley from asking the question that both had on their minds, “Where do we go from here?”
