ASHLEY’S P.O.V.

Spencer: “Mom, dad…Ashley and I…” we look at each other.

Ashley/Spencer: “We’re together.” We say staring into each others eyes, and like that, we forget anyone’s here. We lean in to kiss when-

Arthur: “Well it’s about damn time!” he says smiling, making us realize we’re not alone.

Paula: “Arthur!”

Ashley: “Okay…”

Spencer: “Things aren’t going to be weird now, are they?” My mom chuckles.

Christine: “I don’t think so. What is weird, was you two not being together.”

Ashley: “We’re gonna go change.” Spencer takes my hand and we start up the stairs.

Paula: “No sex though!” It’s a little too late for that.

Spencer: “Mom!” she whines embarrassed.

Paula: “What? I want you two here for karaoke. You know it’s our Christmas Eve tradition.” we sigh and nod.

ASHLEY’S P.O.V.

We changed clothes and kept the groping to a minimum, though it was one of the hardest things in the world to do. I mean come on, could you blame me? She’s my girlfriend now, I love her she loves me, she’s incredibly breathtaking, HELLO! All signs point to teenage sex, so of course it’s hard keeping our hands off of each other.

We’re now in the living room in front of the fireplace. I’m sitting on the floor, Spencer in front of me, her back to my front, her head resting in the crook of my neck and my arms wrapped around her. Uncle Ar- I guess it’s be weird if I continue calling them my aunt and uncle. SO Arthur and my mother already sang.

Paula: “Really? No one else wants to sing?” she asks getting frustrated. Spencer and I chuckle.

Ashley: “I’ll sing.”

Paula: “We’ll get over here!” she says jokingly. I kiss Spencer on the cheek and she shifts, allowing me to get up. Paula hands me the microphone and takes her seat. I pick the song and the music begins.

Ashley: “I never understood before. I never knew what love was for. My heart was broke, my head was sore, What a feeling.”

I sang looking down

Ashley: “Tied up in ancient history. I didn’t believe in destiny. I look up you’re standing next to me, What a feeling…”

I look over at Spencer
