“Ooo, Ash, look!” I turned my away from the ocean. Pushing off from the railing of the pier, I looked over to see Spencer walking excitingly towards me. Her flowing white skirt swooped playfully in the wind. She was wearing a light, unfitted red v-neck. The oversized short sleeves and fabric clung to her in all the right places but still fluttered in the wind giving her a very beach-y look. I grinned when I notice the bright pink snow cone in one hand a shell necklace in the other.

She held them out to me and I perched my sunglasses on my head to get a better look. “Very nice.” I said before wrapping and arm around her waist and drawing up against me.

“Ashy.” Spencer blushed. I kissed her temple.

“Baby, it’s San Francisco, I don’t think people care.” She grinned and kissed me chastly on the lips.

“I like it here.” I smiled and squinted against the sun over the water.

“Me too.”

“Guess who’s birthday’s coming up?” Spencer asked smiling beside me. I pretended to think hard about it.

“Hmm. Kyla’s is in February, mine’s August…? Nope, no one’s I can think of.” She rolled her eyes.

“You’re an ass.”

“Yeah, an ass who’s bought you a beach bag full of crap.”

“Hey! It’s not crap… I really need all that stuff.” She pouted.

“You need a t-shirt with a crab that says ‘beach babe’ or a stuff dolphin or – ”

“Ok, shut up.” I smiled I reached for her hand.

“Now, I do know that my baby’s birthday is coming up. Is that who you were talking about?”

“Yup, May 12th.” She proclaimed with a huge grin.

“Two weeks away.”

“And I can drive!”

“And I our relationship isn’t as creepy!”

“It’s not creepy!” She scolded.

“Yeah, I’ll be 19 in three months and you’re 15.”

“But we love each other.”

“And we have mind blowing sex.” I smirked.

Spence and I continued to walk hand-in-hand down the boardwalk in comfortable silence.

“I think I’d like to here.” Her eyes gazed up at me.

“It’s nice.” She agreed.

“Yeah… and I think I’d like it if you lived with me.”

“Uhg!” Spencer crashed into me, hugging me tightly.

“Really Ashley!?”

“Yeah, I know it’s a lot to think about and man, I – I have never thought about the future this much, but I really want a future with you.” I confessed shyly. She stood stopped me suddenly and took both of my hands.

“Ash, I know that this is a big step for you and I would love to move in with you – when I graduate of course.”

“Really?” I breathed out.

“Mh hm.” She pressed her lips against my cheek. “You just can’t leave without me.”
