“No, I want to talk.”

                “I promise to be here when you wake up; I may even fall asleep too.” I nodded at the reassurance and let sleep take back over. It had always been very easy to sleep with Ashley, I think it was because I was so comfortable with her; I felt safe when she was around.

                I snuggled further into the warm body that was Ashley as we watched Lion King on the TV in the living room. She was lying behind me on the couch with her arms around me, her front to my back. My parents weren’t home and surprisingly they had agreed to let Ashley come over. Ashley suddenly laughed and I looked up at her, bemused.

                “Oh God Spence, we’ve gotten boring,” She said, through her laughter. “We have the house to ourselves and we’re watching Disney movies!” I grinned as she said this and turned so that I was facing her and she leaned down to kiss me softly.

                “Well we can go to my room if you want to,”

                “You know what?” She asked, causing me to arch my brow to show that I was listening. “I’d rather just stay here and hold you. If you tell anyone that I’ll never touch you again,” I laughed but nodded and she leaned down to kiss me again.

                “I love you, even if we are boring.”

                “I love you too; we’ll have hot wild monkey sex tomorrow night,”

                “Okay,”

                I woke up slowly, smiling as I realized that it was Ashley that I was curled up against. Her arms were loosely wrapped around me and she was completely out. Her mouth was open and she was snoring softly. It was probably the most adorable thing I had ever seen and I had to stop myself from waking her up by kissing her then. Instead I just looked at her, she was beautiful. I guess my staring woke her up because suddenly her eyes were open and she was looking at me with a smile.

                “I was hoping that you weren’t a dream,” She whispered, causing me to blush but smile. “Are you okay?” She looked concerned and I couldn’t help but smile up at her.
