Spencer’s POV

Several weeks have gone by since my return. Ash and I have become even closer if that is even possible. She has almost become my shadow. The only time she is not with me is when I am taking my shower. I do however plan to change that in the near future. That dream I had, awakened so many feelings I had and diminished my fears.

Something else is bothering her as well. I’m not positive, but I think it has something to do with parent’s day tomorrow. Either she nervous about seeing her mother again or worried she will not show up. I wish I knew. We haven’t talked a lot about her mother. It’s a sore subject for her. Every time I bring it up, she’ll change the subject on me or not respond at all. I guess I’ll find out in time.

My curly haired brunette interrupts my inner musing, "Have you heard anything back from the sheriff yet?" She wraps her arms around my waist while she waits for my reply.

"Yeah." I whisper as I lean back into her. Enjoying her warmth and comfort, I finish telling her everything I know. "There’s not going to be a trial. He pleaded guilty to kidnaping, so I’m not sure what’s going to happen to my father now."

"Well, at least he finally did something right." She squeezes me tighter. "Mr. C realized he was wrong. He knows it now, so whatever punishment he gets will be well deserved." Sighing a little, Ash places a small kiss to my neck. "I love you so much Spence." She husks out before becoming content with me in her arms and basking in the silence.

"I love you to Ash."

Ashley’s POV

Tomorrow is parent’s day, and I’m dreading it and not just because summer’s ending either. The others are too but for different reasons. They are all scared of being embarrassed by their loved ones to where I’m more worried of being rejected again.

Spencer has asked me many times over the last couple of weeks what’s been bothering me, but I’m not sure how to approach that subject without spilling all the beans. In a nutshell, my mother would rather spend her time finding new fuck toys or spending the money my father left me when he died. I’m probably worried over nothing really. She will not even show up tomorrow. Maybe Spence and I can go hang out at our pond during parent’s day. I think I’ll ask her about doing that tonight after our showers.
