“That was low Spence.”

“I’m not interested in Aiden. At all.” Spencer pointed out, answering the question from earlier.

“You have a boy back home?”

“Nope. Well not anymore. I broke up with my boyfriend before I came out here. Couldn’t do the long distance thing.”

“Fair game.” Ashley smiled.

Spencer looked Ashley up and down, noticing a pattern just peeking out from her skirt. “What’s that?” She nodded her head in the direction of the dark symbol.

Ashley followed her gaze and pulled her skirt down a tiny bit. “It means love.”

“Awww who knew you had a sensitive side?” Spencer joked. Ashley had sad eyes. “What’s up?”

“I got it because I’ve never experienced it. My Mum and Dad have never been there for me, I’ve never had somebody care about me. It reminds me of the one thing every child needs, I got everything I ever wanted, except that, and I’m not making the same mistake with my children. Love is unconditional, but you have to have it to start with.”

“Ash…”

“Not once did I get an ‘I love you Ashley’ from either of them. It hurt.”

Spencer’s hand unconsciously reached out to lightly stoke over the Chinese word. It was a feather touch that made Ashley tingle inside. “Who said it had to be a parent/child type of love?” Blue found brown once again. Ashley looked at Spencer with a questioning look, where as Spencer seemed to be confused within herself. She had no idea what this feeling taking over her body was, but it scared and excited her at the same time.

The blonde’s fingers where still lazily tracing the mark. As Ashley’s hand made it way over Spencer’s and made contact Spencer’s eyes shut briefly and she let out a small, barely audible sigh, before opening them again. Still staring into deep auburn eyes. Ashley’s hand made its way up Spencer’s arm and put a stray lock of hair behind her ear. The brunette let her fingers touch the back of Spencer neck and put a tiny bit of force on it, pulling her into herself. Their mouths were only an inch apart now, Spencer still looked scared, but that was overtaken by lust. Ashley moved her nose around Spencer’s, breathing rapidly increasing.

Eye’s still locked, Ashley moved a little bit more forward and let her lips trace Spencer’s, just moving them from one side to the other, their breath mingling. The ball was in Spencer’s court now. “Girls dinner’s ready!” Was the squeal from downstairs. Both of them were panting now, even though they hadn’t really done anything, and reality sunk back into Spencer, her eyes went wide, she stood up faster than the speed of light and was just shaking her head from side to side.

“Spence…”

“No, no it’s ok.” She babbled. “It’s ok. We should go and eat. Yeah, that sounds like a plan.” She rushed as she headed downstairs. Ashley sighed and stood up, following her out. They made their way downstairs, Ashley caught up.

They got into the kitchen and both froze, right there at the table was Glen, with Madison. The Latina looked up to smile at Spencer and scowled when she saw Ashley. “Spencer why the hell are you with her?”
