They stopped by a little deli they enjoyed visiting frequently. 

“Ashley!  Spencer!  It’s been awhile since we’ve seen you!”

Tori the waitress worked at a couple jobs while trying to put herself through college.  Ashley had offered to help her, but she was stubborn and hard headed.

“Tori, how’ve you been?”

They exchanged small talk, the two women treated the girl like their all grown up child.  They would often have her over for dinner.

“Alright ladies, well, the wait’s about 10 minutes is that alright?  We’re kind of packed today.”

“It’s all good Tori.”

They sat down on the benches outside the small restaurant.  Ashley pulled back Spencer’s hair.

“You should try them on.”

“Hmm?”  The blonde said basking in the sun.

“The earrings.  Hang on I’ll go get them.”

Ashley moved quickly towards the car, getting the earrings from the bag she shut the door and walked back.  The brunette couldn’t help but notice the beautiful flowers hanging from a tree nearby.  Smiling at the thought she delicately plucked one off the branch.  Returning to the blonde she offered the flower first.

“It was pretty, and…well I don’t really have any other reason for getting it to you but…here.”

Spencer smiled up at her wife.  What would have happened if Ashley had let her push her away back then?

“I love you so much.”  She smiled and kissed her wife.

Tucking the flower behind her ear she smiled looking as Ashley letting her wife know it was greatly appreciated.

“Ugh.”  They heard a groan from the restaurant door and the two turned towards Tori.

“Why can’t I find a boy as sweet as you Ash?”

Spencer beamed proudly.

“Your table’s ready come on you two.”

After they were seated and had ordered Ashley opened the box again, pushing it closer towards the blonde.

“Try them.”

The sapphires dangled delicately next to the blonde’s face.

“They’re beautiful love.”  Ashley’s hands reached up and thoughtfully played with the jewelry.

Spencer ducked her head down, allowing her hair to create a curtain around her face.

Lunch was good, the two women spoke of everything and eventually left the little café, heading home.  Spencer giggled at the feeling of the earring dangling by her cheeks and with Ashley’s hand placed comfortable on her thighs.
