Spashley, Interrupted

Ashley wakes up to Spencer rubbing her stomach. Morning light is beaming in from the hallway. A soft smile forms on Ashley faces as she opens her eyes.

Ashley: Mmmm.

Spencer: Morning Ash.

Ashley kisses Spencer head and while rubbing her back.

Ashley: What time is it?

Ashley looks at her clock that reads 11:30 am.

Spencer: Look you woke up before Noon! That’s a first.

Ashley playfully hits Spencer.

Ashley: Funny.

Ashley looks around the room and sees the infamous Trench coat on the floor, then looks back down at Spencer.

Ashley: And this is a first too.

Spencer: What’s that?

Ashley snaps on one her bra straps, that she still has on.

Ashley: That I actually have more clothes on than you.

Spencer laughs then gets a little embarrassed at herself and starts turning red and covers her heads under the blankets.

Ashley: Oh don’t get all shy on me now. Come here.

Spencer slowly pulls down the sheet and reveals her face. Ashley lifts up her chin to give her a sweet and sensual kiss.

Ashley: Last night was…

Spencer: What?

Ashley: Hot!

Spencer: Ash!

Ashley: Well it was, I mean I can’t get the picture out of my head and I’m so keeping that trench coat.

Spencer: Well, I had to think of something special to say thank you to you.

Ashley: Your very very welcome.

They kiss again, but before it gets intense Ashley stops.

Spencer: What?

Ashley: It’s just, I mean what now? I mean are you – are we, is there a we now?

Spencer: There’s always a we, I never stopped you know.

Ashley: Stopped what?

Spencer: I never stopped loving Ash. I just needed time to –

Ashley: Figure out your life, I know.

Spencer: I don’t think I’ll ever have my life figured out.

Ashley: So what does that mean for us?

Spencer ponders the question that she’s been thinking about for the last month and half, she loves Ashley, that was never the problem, the problem was that does Ashley want her. She replayed that night a Chelsea’s studio over and over again, when Ashley told her she needed her. She knows Ashley needs her, but does she want her? A need is something that is powerful but a want is a passion that burns forever. Spencer wants to be wanted, not to be needed to just pick up the pieces and take care of Ashley and most of all she wants someone to take care of her and every time she wanted that Ashley was no where to be found. The nights she cried herself to sleep over Clay’s death, Ashley was in Europe – never called to see how she was, but when Ashley’s father died, Spencer never left her side, not once….
