Spencer’s POV

I stretch my arms out from where I was and feel sand around me. I grab a handful of the fine sand and let it fall through my fist. I attempt to open my eyes, but the sun is too radiant for my just woken up pupils. I lay on the towel as I soak in the sun when I feel an arm wrap around my waist and pull me towards them. Her head nuzzles in my neck and I try my best to not make any movements to wake her.

I could only stare down at her beauty and know what I’m doing is wrong, but so right. Last night when she mentioned she was given a second chance, I was shocked at how I didn’t react surprised. I’m sure anyone else in my position would have, but for some reason it felt like nothing was wrong and I was expecting it from her.  It felt like an old flame deep down was ignited once more.

Ash was still sleeping, and I was making random designs on her forearm when my phone began to ring.

"you’ll always be a part of me

i’m part of you indefinitely

girl don’t you know you can’t escape me

ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby"

"Shit, sorry," I said as Ash sat up immediately from my loud ringtone. I got up and answered my phone in my bag and knew Lindsey wouldn’t stop calling until I answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey babe, did you get my messages from last night?" Lindsey asked.

"Uh no sorry hun. My phone was on silent," That’s the truth by the way. 

"No problem. So how did my baby sleep last night without me to cuddle?" I could tell she was smiling into the phone, and it broke my heart when I realized I cheated on her. I cheated on her on our 5-year anniversary vacation she worked hard to pay for.

"Not very well babe," I lied. "We slept on the beach though. It was actually exciting."

"That’s cool. How did Ashley handle not sleeping on a bed for once," she asked jokingly.

"Oh I think she loved it," I said with emphasize on loved. Only her and I knew what I really meant.
