“You love me anyway, right?” Ashley asked with a smile. “Even though I am a sleep talker and all, you love me?”

“Yep, I’ll love you no matter what,” answered Spencer. “I’ll love you until the day I die.”

“I’ll love you until the end of time,” Ashley admitted. Ashley tapped Spencer playfully on her nose.

“You’re making me look bad,” whined Spencer. “It’s really hard to impress you.”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to,” Ashley said in an apologetic tone. “You don’t need to try to impress me, sweetheart. I’m always impressed with you.” Ashley caressed Spencer’s cheek.

“It’s cool,” replied Spencer. “I’ll love you until the end of time, too.”

Ashley pressed her lips lightly against Spencer’s. “I am so, so in love with you, Spencer Carlin,” Ashley began with a smile. “You have no idea how much.”

“I am very in love with you, too, Ashley Davies,” said Spencer returning the smile. “Did you know that you smile in your sleep, too?” Ashley laughed.

“I don’t watch myself sleeping and I’m not aware of what I do in my sleep so I didn’t know that, love,” Ashley replied. “So who let you in?”

“Kyla did,” stated Spencer simply. “Why you don’t want me here?”

“Of course I do,” Ashley responded. “I’m just surprised that I wake up to see your beautiful face today. I always want you around. So what’s with the tray?”

“I made you breakfast, my dear,” said Spencer. Ashley looked surprised.

“I’ve never had anyone make me a birthday breakfast before,” Ashley admitted.

“I’m honored to be the first one who has,” pointed out Spencer.

“And last one, too,” Ashley added. “Thank you very much.” Ashley kissed Spencer sweetly on her lips.

“Today is your day so you could do whatever you want to do for the day,” pointed out Spencer. “This includes dinner as well since we’re going out to celebrate you turning seventeen. Dinner is on me and you’ll get your present later.”

“You don’t have to do all of this for me,” Ashley stated. “I’ll be fine eating takeout Chinese food for dinner and us watching TV in my room and cuddling. Anything we do is just fine.”

“Yes, I do,” responded Spencer. “We could still have takeout if you like or cuddle. Whatever you want to do since it is your day after all, but I don’t want it to be any ordinary day for you. I want it to be the best birthday you’ve ever had. If you don’t want the food I made, I’ll eat it then. I’m starved. Oh no I am starting to sound like my brother. Shoot me now, Ash.” Ashley chuckled.

“It already is the best birthday I’ve ever had,” Ashley began. “For the record, you aren’t anything like your boneheaded brother.”

“It is?” asked Spencer surprised. “The day just got started for you to say that.”

“Yep, since I’m with you and we get to spend the day together,” Ashley answered simply. “Nothing else matters to me. As for breakfast, I do want to taste my girl’s cooking. We could always share the food since my girl is starved. Have a seat in my office.” Ashley gestured for Spencer to sit down and Spencer sat down on Ashley’s bed. “Alright, here comes the airplane.” Spencer chuckled and Ashley fed Spencer. Ashley rubbed Spencer’s arm. Spencer leaned in and kissed Ashley passionately on her lips. Ashley cupped Spencer’s face and made the kiss more passionate by sucking on Spencer’s bottom lip. Spencer pulled back from the kiss with a smile.
