Spencer could feel her insides turning as Kyla made her way to the door. Spencer was just getting used to the idea of seeing Ashley in person. It had been 3 months since she and Ashley had been in the same room together and now she was going to have to face her… with her new girlfriend. She glanced around the room to look for an escape route, “Damn…” she whispered under her breath as she realized she had no chance of escaping that quickly. Spencer pushed herself off the bed and rose to her feet, brushing her clothes off. She ran a few fingers through her messy blonde locks, secretly hoping she looked okay.

Ashley was nervous as she stood outside her once lover’s door with her new lover standing right next to her. She bit her bottom lip softly as she popped her knuckles, her nervous habit of choice. “What’s taking so long?” She asked under her breath.

“Honey? Are you okay?” Jenny, her new lover, asked. “Huh? Yeah, I’m fine” Ashley told her as she knocked again on the door. Ashley never told Jenny how serious her and Spencer’s relationship was. Jenny just knew they had a thing back in high school, and that was it. Ashley knew it was more than just a thing, she just couldn’t bring herself to talk about because then it meant she had to think about it and when she thought about it all she could remember was Spencer’s answer when she asked her to move in with her for the summer.

“Are you sure? Because–” Jenny started. “I’m fine, Jen,” Ashley cut her off, “I’m fine,” she told her again with a forced smile and kissed her on the cheek.

“Whoa! Calm down now or I’ll be forced to make you two get your own room,” Kyla joked as she opened the door. Ashley shot her a dirty look, “Shut up!” she teased as she gave Kyla a hug. “So, can we come in?” Ashley asked as she pulled away from her sister. Kyla nodded and held open the door for them both. Ashley made her way in, leaving Jenny behind. Jenny shrugged to Kyla as she followed Ashley inside the dorm room.

“Hey… you..” Ashley said as she slowly walked towards Spencer. All that was running through Ashley’s mind was how beautiful Spencer looked. It was almost like she was even more beautiful than she remembered her being. Ashley told herself to snap out of it, this wasn’t high school anymore and most of all, Spencer didn’t see her as that girl anymore.

Spencer’s heart was racing. There she was, Ashley Davies, standing right in front of her. The love of her life, only a couple of feet away and moving even closer. “Hey..” Spencer offered with a half-smile. “Come here,” Ashley told her as she motioned Spencer in for a hug. Spencer breathed in a deep breath before moving closer to Ashley, her eyes keeping contact with Ashley’s. Those eyes, Spencer thought, those eyes are the only eyes that I want to look into. As their bodies collided, Spencer let out a long sigh. It felt good to be in Ashley’s arms again.

(God, she smells good) Ashley thought to herself as she buried her head into Spencer’s hair that flowed over her shoulder and into Ashley’s face. Ashley moved her right hand up to the back of Spencer’s head, cradling it and tightening the hug. “I’ve missed you,” Ashley whispered into Spencer’s ear.

“Hey..” A loud voice said, interrupting the old lovers. Spencer jumped at the sound of the unfamiliar voice and then her stomach dropped, once again, remembering that someone came with Ashley. It wasn’t just someone, though, it was the girl who took her place in Ashley’s life now.
