I was soaking in the early morning sun while catching up on some reading before my first Monday class….well trying to catch up on some reading. My thoughts kept drifting from my books to highlights of my weekend spent with Ashley. We had spent most of Saturday alone together, except for having lunch with my grandma, and 90 percent of that time had been in my bed. We probably would have spent all day Sunday in the same place if I hadn’t received a page from Dr. Blandau at the clinic. She had received three emergency cases with in an hour of each other and was short handed. I had left a very gorgeous….and naked Ashley in my bed with promises to call later. She ended up calling me later on Sunday while I was still at the clinic to say that she was leaving unexpectedly to LA to meet her dad and some clients and that she wouldn’t be back till next Friday. I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t say good bye, but she promised to catch up mid-week.

It was only Monday morning and I was missing her. It kind of scared me a bit that I was getting in so deep so quickly with her. That whole going slow thing flew right out the window about the time we decided to have sex on our first date. Whatever…I mean we had hung out at least 3 other times with out doing anything. That kind of counts…sort of I thought trying to convince myself that I had held out a little.

I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn’t notice when someone snuck up behind me.

“SPENCER CARLIN!!! Where the hell have you been?!”

I levitated about 2 feet off the bench I was sitting on and let out a small shriek. I spun around to see Kaylen on her knees in fits of laughter.

“God damn it Kaylen! Are you like twelve or something? You scared the fucking hell out of me.” I shot at her. She was still laughing and I couldn’t help but laugh a little with her.

“Bitch.” I said laughing and offering her a hand to help her back to her feet. “Where the hell have you been yourself?” Kaylen’s eyes were sparkling and she shrugged her shoulders.
