Spencer watched as Ashley ran through her routine once more. The tendons and muscles bunched and spread under the form fitting bodysuit in a rhythmic cadence that caused the blood to drum in Spencer’s ears. She knew that Ashley had no idea of the delicious torture she caused each time she bent over and showed her ass in just that way…or how the way she would tilt her head to one side would cause Spencer’s heart to leap and jump in her chest.

Ashley didn’t know.

So Ashley asked Spencer to watch her run through her routines, to tell her when she messed up, if she looked alright.

She didn’t know that Spencer lay awake each night, dreaming of holding her after having made love to her. She didn’t know that Spencer was insanely jealous of all the guys who could ogle her openly, could ask her out, could do everything Spencer wanted to do.

She didn’t know, Spencer brooded to herself.

"Spencer!” the brunette whined. “You’re not paying attention!" SMACK! Ashley connected a solid right hook directly onto Spencer’s left arm, effectively knocking Spencer out of her reverie.

Spencer rubbed her arm and immediately had a contrite pout.

"I’m sorry, Ashley, I didn’t mean to-" Spencer forgot what she was saying when she looked up into Ashley’s eyes and saw the blood glint. Spencer knew she was in major trouble. "Ummm….please don’t hurt me?"

Ashley glared down at Spencer on the couch, her hands on her cocked hips and a charmingly cute, angrily determined expression on her features.

"I have a tryout for the captain position on the varsity squad NEXT FRICKIN’ WEEK!" Ashley yelled. "Do you think you can keep your mind off of whoever you’re crushing on for TWO DAMN MINUTES and watch my routine!" Ashley had herself worked up into a fine lather. By the end of her short tirade, she was waving her hands around and leaning into Spencer’s face. Her emotions were so volatile, all she needed was a slight push and everything would erupt like she so desperately needed them to.

Spencer grabbed Ashley, and dragged her into her lap, hugging her tightly so she could break down and cry.

Ashley clutched at Spencer’s neck, the tears flowing freely as soon as Spencer held her in her strong embrace.
