She got two glasses out and poured some juice for them.

“So I’ve been meaning to ask, are you okay with Glen and Kyla getting married? I mean I know you don’t really like him.”

Ashley rolled her eyes and gave a short laugh at the same time.

“I wouldn’t of picked him if I had the choice, but they seem happy. He makes her laugh and she makes him less of an ass. So, yeah, I’ll learn to live with it. Hmm…talking about the wedding made me realize I still have to buy them a present. Wanna go present hunting with me tomorrow?”

Spencer had no bridesmaids duties planned for the next day, so she agreed. Besides, if she was honest, she wanted to spend time with Ashley. She was remembering more and more how good it felt when she was with her, how everything seemed more right. She had missed having those warm brown eyes on her, that small yet strong hand in her own.

“Of course I’ll go with you, if only for the sake of saving Kyla from getting an Ashley speciality gift. God knows what you could come up with on your own!”

Ashley smiled widely at her.

“Are you trying to say she did not appreciate me sending her and Glen the ‘Dummies guide to Monkey Sex’ for their engagement gift? I thought it would be helpful, I mean if she was gonna marry him, she might as well learn how to please your ape of a brother.”

Spencer just laughed and shook her head at Ashley who was smiling innocently at her.

“You mind if I go check on the little guy?”

Spencer just shook her head and pointed down the hallway towards her room. She washed all the dishes that had piled up and threw out some old Chinese food she found in the fridge. She wandered down the hallway that Ashley had gone down not ten minutes earlier and smiled when she stepped into the room. Ashley had fallen asleep right next to Clay and he had snuggled up against her. His head was firmly planted in the crook of her arm and they were both snoring softly. It was an adorable scene .

Before realizing what she was doing, Spencer found herself sitting on the bed next to Ashley. She ran a hand over a soft cheek and sighed.

“Beautiful…”

In that moment she forgot Prom night, she forgot the morning she saw Ashley and Aiden knowing full well what they had done the night before. All she could see was the girl she once loved, the woman she knew she still loved. With this thought lingering in her mind and heart, she leaned over and kissed the soft lips. She let the kiss linger, simply enjoying the feel of them against her own, marveling at how right it felt. With a sigh she pulled back and quickly lay down beside Ashley. She wrapped herself around her, suddenly desperate for the contact as she tightly closed her eyes and pressed her face into Ashley’s hair. Because of this she missed Ashley opening her eyes and smiling a teary smile. Both lay there, simply satisfied feeling the other so near, till sleep took them.
