She started to stretch but quickly stopped, when she realized that she was still fully clothed and lying in a strange angle. An annoyed groan turned into a completely pitiful whine as Spencer thought of the physical effort needed to remedy the issues at hand. Mentally preparing herself, she stayed still for a moment before sucking in a deep breath and hoisting herself up, rolling over the edge of the bed. Her eyes swept the room, trying to gather her thoughts of what she needed to do first. They finally fell to the bed, and the body that was sprawled there.

A small giggle escaped her lips while she let the image soak into her memory. One golden leg was raised higher than the other, but both pants to the pajamas (which Spencer now saw were completely mismatched with the top she blindly grabbed from the bureau the night before) had ridden up to bunch around the knees. The mass of brown curls was blocking the face she could only imagine looked so peaceful. No frowns, no smiles. Just smooth planes of skin, sloping and dipping, to make the face that was Ashley Davies.

Shaking her head, she began padding around the room, gathering some pajamas before heading down the hall quietly to the bathroom.

She hadn’t been asleep for more than an hour. Something was pulling her. Pulling her so she was lying down on her back. She was so far gone from coherent thought, her eyes fighting to flutter open only to slide shut moments later. She vaguely recalled an arm being placed around her middle. A face was settled in the crook of her shoulder. She was warm, and that’s all that mattered.

That and sleep.

Spencer rubbed the towel roughly against her head, trying not to drip as she shut Ashley’s door softly behind her. She wasn’t expecting to hear a voice from the bed.

"Morning."

Spencer gasped, jumping slightly. "Oh my God! Didn’t anyone ever tell you not to sneak up on people?"

"Saying ‘morning’ from across the room is sneaking up on you? That’s pretty sad, Spence." A smirk curled Ashley’s lips. There goes the stomach again. Spencer sighed in mock defeat.
