“What?” Ashley’s eyes widened in fear looking at the ground all around her expecting to see some viscous animal or something.

“Stay right there,” Spencer ran to the van.

“Come on this is ridiculous,” Ashley called out but received no reply, “Spencer?” the head lights shot on and pointed in her direction almost blinding her, her hand went to her face to block it out, “Spencer?”

“Ashley?” Spencer stepped into the headlights taking away the pain of light in her eyes, the blond smiled softly at her as the rain washed down their bodies. Music pumped thru the van speakers while Spencer began sashaying her way to the brunette, her hips bucking a bit more with every drum beat.

“Spencer?” Ashley asked again only her mouth was drying up with how sexy the woman in front of her looked, licking her lips she thanked her lucky stars for the rain which put moisture in her mouth, finally Spencer was inches from her.

“I want to start over,” she breathed out, her voice breaking as if she wished to take the words back, “May I have this dance Miss. Davies?”

Ashley’s throat caught as she realized that the song playing from the van was the last song played at prom before the shooting, the one they never got to dance too. Staring at Spencer who held a loving smile on her face while holding her hand out for Ashley to take it, all of a sudden a heat grew on her shoulder. Brown eyes settled on her shoulder but nothing was there, it was as if she sensed Aiden standing beside her all of sudden and as if Spencer sensed it too, “If Aiden will let you?” she asked with out taking her eyes off the brunette in front of her.

Ashley had no clue if Spencer was just reenacting the scene from prom or if she felt Aiden there with them, a strong tug toward Spencer made Ashley’s body respond. A smile forming like her best friend had just given her his blessing from beyond the grave, “I’d love to Spence,” she smiled taking Spencer’s hand in hers, spinning the woman until she slid right into her arms.

The two danced slow, getting the feel for the person in front of them in a sensual way that was denied to them for so long. Arms tangled around waists and necks, hot breath leaving goose bumps on each others skin, “I missed you.” Spencer spoke after a while.

Ashley heard the song coming to an end so she twirled Spencer away from her body all ready missing the presence of the blond on her body, slowly Spencer spun back and Ashley dipped her only the wind, rain and slippery rocks under their feet had a different plan as the two tumbled to the ground, Ashley landing on top of Spencer with a grunt, both girl’s laughing.

The giggling girl’s slowed their breathing as their eyes locked, blue and brown never wondering away from the intense meaning between the stare, Ashley’s face and hair covering Spencer’s face so the rain wasn’t pounding it and it allowed Spencer to stare up at Ashley who leaned forward brushing wet hair from the girl’s face, “May I have the pleasure…” Ashley leaned closer until their lips brushed, “of calling you my girlfriend?”

Time stood still for the brunette, waiting for the reply which would determine her future, “The pleasure is mine,” Spencer smiled as she took away the space between them attaching her lips to the ones above her, Ashley moaned into the kiss as Spencer rolled her tongue across Ashley’s bottom lip.

“You’re never going away,” Ashley growled rocking her hip into Spencer’s.

Groaning Spencer yanked Ashley closer, “never ever…” she laughed while tracing the woman’s lips and jaw bone.

“Let’s go inside,” Ashley suggested, Spencer nodded as the woman above helped her up and the two ran inside, throwing wet clothes to the ground and changing into some dry ones, curled up inside the hot blankets, wrapped in each other’s arms and feeling like things might actually be okay from now on….

TBC.
