Do Or Do Not
Part Two

It had been exactly 5 weeks since their initial encounter at the Benefit, and as is not too unusual in many lesbian relationships, things had progressed at astounding rates. It helped that the two girl’s seemed to fit together like pieces to a puzzle, but any partnership that is rushed into in such a way tends to have it’s weak points. In their case, the weak point was more and more clearly becoming Ashley.

She couldn’t help it. The girl had never really been in a solid relationship, and Spencer constantly behaved like they were going to be together forever. Ashley wasn’t so sure.

“Sounds romantic.” Ashley responded, sounding rather unenthused, “But I uh… I don’t think I’m up for it tonight. I think I might be getting sick.”

Spencer looked a little disappointed, although it quickly flipped into concern. Placing the back of her palm against Ashley’s forehead, a soft frown of worry marred her features, “You do feel a little warm…”
