It had been nine years since Spencer had moved to LA and they had been together for just over 8 of those years. Ashley loved the way that Spencer could still make her laugh and feel like she was still sixteen.

“You know I really should get some sleep, I have a plane to catch in 6 hours!” Ashley whispered after reading the time on the clock.

“Ok, I suppose you do need your beauty sleep!” Spencer whispered back then laughed after receiving a playful slap to her backside.

“Well we can’t all be as beautiful as you now can we?!” Ashley smiled kissing her wife.

“Night Ash, I love you!” Spencer said stifling a yawn.

“You know, no matter how far away I am, just remember im under the same sky, and the same stars that look down upon you, are looking down upon me” Ashley smiled to her wife before kissing her and closing her eyes.

“Bloody soppy cow!” Spencer whispered as both of them smiled before drifting into a peaceful slumber.

The horn tooted again as Spencer and Ashley clung to each other. It was 6 am and Ashley was supposed to have left fifteen minutes ago.

“Babe iv really gotta go!!” Ashley said but not in the slightest annoyed.

Spencer sighed slightly “Just one more kiss…Please!” she added when Ashley rolled her eyes.

One more kiss had happened at least twenty times now. And Ashley was really beginning to push the time.

“Ok you promise if I give you one last kiss you will let me go?” Ashley smiled lovingly to her wife.

“Ok if you promise to come home as soon as you can!” Spencer smiled lovingly at her wife.

“I promise will all my heart! I love you!” Ashley kissed Spencer with the softest kisses before walking out the door and getting into her limousine.

From experience she had learnt that once she had walked through the front door she couldn’t look back at Spencer or she wouldn’t go.

Spencer watched the limo until it was completely out of sight, before making her way for a shower and to prepare herself for school.

It had been a little over two months since she started. She had found out the Mr Thompson had a nervous breakdown after his English class had tormented him.

Spencer had been really nervous about taking that class again, but they seemed like a good bunch of kids at heart. They were just rowdy when they were bored.

And Spencer was getting a dab hand at attracting their attention. As she got into her Porsche boxster and made her way to school she tried not to think about Ashley getting on a plane. But couldn’t help thinking about it.

By the time she had finished work Ashley would be in London, nearly half a world away from her, the only thing between them being a few thousand miles and a hell of a lot of water.
