The week went by slowly for Spencer, she had made up her mind to give her all in avoiding Ashley for the week. After all, things were moving pretty fast and they had known each other only a few days before it all began.

It was Thursday night and Spencer was lying in bed, she rolled over just as the clock changed over to midnight. Friday had finally arrived. Rolling over again, Spencer tried to settle into sleep when she heard the familiar tone of a text message on her cell phone.

‘You have a new message from Ash’

Spencer felt the rush of blood to her head when she read the name. She quickly opened the phone craving the message.

Ash: Are we done with our own devices?

Spence: Maybe…

Ash: come outside

Spencer slipped out of bed and quietly exited her room and creeped down over the stairs and into the foyer. Without a sound, she opened and closed the front door of the Carlin home to find Ashley sitting on the front porch.

Ashley grabbed her by the hand and brought her around to the side of the house, out of sight from any of the bedroom windows.

"Well, what have we discovered in the Ashley free week?"

Spencer smiled, pressing Ashley against the side of the house before taking a quick look around to make sure no one was watching the exchange. She placed one hand over Ashley’s head against the brick on the house. She swiftly leaned in, placing the other hand under Ashley chin before slipping in to kiss her, hard.

Ashley parted her lips slightly, running her tongue along Spencer’s mouth. Spencer groan a little as Ashley ran her hand from her neck down to her stomach.

"God I have been wanting you." Spencer pressed her forehead to Ashley’s, closing her eyes.

"So you have things figured out?"

"Well, what I have figured out is that I don’t want to be without you any longer." Spencer bent her head, kissing Ashley again.

"Good to know. So we are still on for tonight then?"

"We’re on, but Ash, we’re not together."

"What more do you want from me?"

"It’s not like that Ash, I just mean, I’m not ready to come out to the world yet, and I need you to accept that and not put me in any compromising positions at the club."

"I know, Spence. I would never do anything to compromise being with you. And I’m certainly not going to be the one to out you."

"I thought you might understand. Just give me some time."

"No problem. Until then I suppose I will have to settle for secret meetings in dark, secluded spots, or, you know, the girls bathroom?"

Spencer began to giggle. "I better get back inside before someone gets up and notices I’m not in my bed."

Kissing her quickly, Ashley agreed and headed down the black to where she had left her car. Spencer watched Ashley until she was out of sight before heading back into the house and up over the stairs.

Spencer crawled back onto her bed and under the covers, taking in everything that had just happened. It was in that moment Spencer realized she was falling for Ashley.

She reached for her phone, wanting so much to message her, but not wanting to seem too eager. she flipped open the phone to find ‘you have one new message from Ash’. Almost shuddering with excitement, Spencer opened the text.

Ash: Can’t wait until tomorrow night.

Spence: looking forward to it.

Spencer rolled over and for the first time that night had no trouble drifting off to sleep.
