"Baby, come back to bed", mumbled an exhausted Ashley who was currently under the covers of her queen-sized bed. She looked up to see Spencer at the end of the bed zipping up her pants.

     "Ash, you know I have to go." Spencer put on her shirt, and looked around for her socks.

     "Uh, I know. Doesn’t mean I won’t keep asking."

     Spencer laughed at this. "I really have to leave now. I’ll talk to you later." Spencer placed a quick kiss on Ashley’s lips, and started heading towards the door.

     "Bye", Ashley managed to get out before the door shut.

Story of my life
Searching for the right
But it keeps avoiding me
Sorrow in my soul
Cause it seems that wrong
Really loves my company

     As Spencer drove up the driveway, she began to check her makeup, making sure that nothing was smudged or smeared. Once done, she turned off the engine and prepared to enter the house. She walked up to the house and pushed back the guilt as she opened the door.

     "Sweetie, I’m home!" Spencer shouted as she looked around the entry way into the living room.

     "Hey, how was your study session?" Spencer turned to the voice that came from the kitchen.

     "Boring. There is only so much chemistry one can study before going mad", she flippantly responded. She began walking to the kitchen.

     "You know, I bet I can make chemistry more interesting for you." Aiden gave Spencer a kiss as she came into the kitchen. "Umm. You taste like strawberries and whipped cream. You grab something to eat during you study session?"

     Spencer quickly turned her back to Aiden, pretending to look for something in the fridge. She keep her voice calm as she answered the question.

     "Uh, yes. We picked up shakes at Luke’s Diner during a study break." Spencer turned around to face Aiden, who had his eyebrow raised.

     "Well, I hope you didn’t have too much, because I made your favorite for dinner… Eggplant Parmesan." Aiden grinned at Spencer. His childlike smile made the guilt begin to build back up in Spencer’s gut.

     "Sounds fantastic", replied Spencer as she kissed him on his cheek. "I’ll set the table."
