Snowflakes passed the window of the bus as it teetered back and forth along the winding mountain road. Ashley cautiously opened her eyes, a warm breath beating against her neck. Soft gold hair tickled her chin and she smiled noticing that Spencer had curled up against her in their seats. They were sitting at the back of the bus and most of the passengers had dozed off along the way. Loud snores and hushed giggles echoed off the walls of the vehicle. She lifted her hand and brushed Spencer’s cheek gingerly as she watched the snowy landscape pass by. Ashley couldn’t remember the last time she had seen snow, but she knew she wouldn’t want to spend this trip with anyone but Spencer. The younger girl held her heart captive and there was no use trying to fight her for it. Ashley was completely smitten. She loved the way the blonde would press her lips into the skin just below her ear, or how she would always steal the last chocolate pudding from Ashley’s fridge, or how she would kiss the freckles on Ashley’s shoulders claiming them hers.

Spencer let out a tiny snort and Ashley grasped the hand that was resting in her lap and gave it a quick squeeze. “Mmm Ash” the blonde murmured nuzzling her head into the crook of Ashley’s neck. The brunette gently sat the blonde up in her seat, realizing that at any moment someone could turn around and see them. Spencer blinked her eyes slowly, trying to wake up, she gave a low yawn, “We there yet?”

Ashley turned her attention to the window and watched as they passed a sign that said “Welcome to Northstar Ski Resort”

“Yea Spence, we’re almost there”

“Mm good” the blonde sighed, rubbing her forehead, pushing away the sleep which was trying to encompass her again. “That was a long ride, did you sleep at all?”

Ashley nodded, “Yeah for a little bit”

“Sorry I was out like a light” Spencer replied.

“It’s ok” the older girl whispered, “you’re cute when you sleep”

Spencer blushed and sat back in her seat. As the bus slowed to a stop, students began to gradually wake up and gather their belongings. Ashley nudged the blonde as the bus became empty, “Hey wanna get off this contraption and go get our luggage?”
