Spencer stood in front of her love with a heart of sincerity. She loved this girl and would never lie to her. But the question was so loaded. “Have you had a lot of girlfriends?” Kelly had asked it in what seemed like an eternity ago, but it was honestly just a matter of seconds. Kelly knew about Spencer’s Last girlfriend and how far they had gotten, but she didn’t know about the others. Spencer knew that the answer could hurt but it would hurt more if she wasn’t honest.

“Yes, I have had a lot of girlfriends. But I have only DONE anything with one.” Spencer said honestly, a bit proud at how she would have lied to any other girl, but not this one.

There was a slight silence. “Well I’m not going to lie. It is a little intimidating but I trust you.” Kelly spoke softly and honestly.

Spencer nodded her head and wrapped her arms around Kelly. “It doesn’t mean anything. That is my past. You are my present and hopefully my future.”

What was happening to Spencer? She had many girls in the past. Any girl she had wanted, except Ashley and the ones she had were so wrapped around her finger that she was willing to hurt any of them knowing she had a backup within a few days. But it was different with Kelly. She was truthful and honest and she would never do anything to hurt her. The fact that their relationship could fail with one wrong move scared the blonde into near cardiac arrest. Was she in love?

A week and two days of pure bliss had passed. Everything was perfect and the girls couldn’t have been happier.

Spencer woke with the dark sky illuminating the sun and moon through her blinds at the same time. It was a beautiful morning. She got out of bed and began readying herself for school. As she stood in front of the mirror with a straight iron going through her hair, she could hear her mother’s footsteps coming down the hall. She tried to ignore them the best she could. Paula made her way into the bathroom doorway and leaned against it with her arms folded over her chest, watching the youngest Carlin. Spencer could see every movement, but said nothing. “You grew up to be so beautiful.” Paula spoke. Spencer faked a smile knowing that the tenderness of her mother wouldn’t last long. “It is a shame that it is being wasted.”
