Chapter Twelve




The making out in the plastic tunnel wasn’t that too appealing once Spencer and Ashley arrived at the park. Ashley did not want to spend time in a cramped tube where other couples did God knows only what so instead, her and Spencer were now lying on a blanket on the grass staring up at the stars.

Ashley breathed a sigh of contentment at how comfortable she was. Spencer had her head on her chest and she was playing with the tie that was now tied loosely around her neck.

“You cold?” she asked when she felt Spencer shiver a little. She had the right idea earlier to change but both girls were too lazy and too comfortable to do anything. Even though lying on the ground with knee-length skirts was annoying as all hell.

“A little.” Spencer cuddled closer. Ashley took the second blanket she had and put over the both of them. “Well, aren’t you prepared?” she teased and looked up. “You do this with all the girls?”

Ashley laughed and brushed a strand of hair away from Spencer’s face. “No, just you.”

“I don’t believe you, Davies.” Her smile was teasing but Ashley knew there was something bothering her.

“Just ask it,” Ashley said looking at her straight in the eyes.

Spencer feigned confusion. “Ask what?”

Ashley shook her head in amusement. “Just ask, Spencer.”

“Okay,” Spencer looked down for a second. “How many girls have you dated?”

“Well, I don’t keep count.” She sighed. “But probably not as much as you think.”

“And how would you know what I’m thinking?” Spencer’s voice was on edge like it usually was when she was annoyed. Ashley was very familiar with it.

“Well, I knew what you thought of me,” she said rationally. “I’m assuming you think I’m kind of a slut.”

Spencer sat up and looked at Ashley. A mixture of contrition and agitation was written on her face. “I never thought that,” she said softly while looking down.

Ashley sat up as well and bit her lip. “It’s okay, I’d probably think the same way if I were you.” She started absently picking at the grass avoiding Spencer’s eyes.

“I never thought you were a slut,” Spencer reiterated causing Ashley to look up and smiled a little. “But you still didn’t answer my question.”

Ashley leaned back against her hands and sighed again. “How many lesbians do you think attend King High?”

“I don’t know,” Spencer said shrugging. “A few?”

“Eight to be exact.”

“Really? Eight?”

“Well, eight that are out and proud,” Ashley clarified.

Spencer scratched the back of her neck. Ashley still wasn’t answering her question. As much as she liked this side of Ashley, that nagging part of her brain needed to know just how cavalier Ashley was with the ladies.

“And so you’ve dated all of them?” Spencer surmised.

Ashley scoffed. “Ha, no. First of all, out of that eight includes you, me, Casey, and Sally. And considering I’ve never dated you, Casey, or myself, that leaves only five lesbians.” She paused for a second. “Actually, Sally doesn’t even count so that just leaves only four.”

Spencer nodded. Four wasn’t too bad. It was lot less than what she was really thinking. “So you’ve dated the other four then?”

Ashley grinned. “No. I’ve dated only two. And one of them I could hardly call a date.”

“What?” Spencer said surprised. “That doesn’t make any sense. How can you only date two of the four lesbians in the school? Dating two people hardly makes you the Casanova everyone says you are.”

Ashley had to laugh at Spencer’s reaction. “That’s true, but I’ve also dated girls who are bi.”

At this, Spencer’s face fell. Who knew how many bi girls were running around at King looking to date Ashley. She suddenly didn’t want to be at the park with Ashley anymore knowing that there probably were countless of girls before her right in the same spot.

Spencer downcast face made Ashley worry. “Spencer,” she said quietly. “I’m not some high school jock who goes through girls and forgets about them the next day.” She reached over and lifted Spencer’s chin so she could her eyes. “I treat everyone I’ve ever dated with the utmost respect and some of them I’m actually still friends with.”

“You are?” Spencer found that kind of hard to believe.

“Yeah, Laura, Jackie, Emma to name a few.”

Spencer let out a little chuckle realizing those were some of the girls who were giving her dirty looks after she yelled at Ashley in the quad. “Your groupies.”

“What?” Ashley asked confused.

“Nothing.”

They sat there in silence for a few moments until Ashley’s nerves got the best of her again. “So, does it bother you that I dated so many girls?”

Spencer sighed not really knowing how to answer that. Of course it bothered her but now knowing Ashley, she now knew that she wasn’t just some cocky womanizer. But another question was still nagging her and she thought about it for a few moments before voicing her concerns.

“Okay, it does kind of bother me,” she admitted and started to look everywhere but Ashley’s face. “Um, but how many of them have you um.” Spencer stammered while Ashley looked at her expectantly. “How many have you slept with?” She said it so quietly that she wasn’t sure that it was audible. She knew it was way too personal but she had to know.

“One,” Ashley answered immediately that Spencer almost got whiplash when she looked up so abruptly. “Don’t look so surprised,” she said grinning.

“Really? Just one?” Disbelief rang with every word.

“Yes, Spencer just one.” Was it really that far-fetched that she only slept with one girl?

“Wow.” Spencer’s eyes were wide trying to take in the information.

“Spencer, it’s really not that big of deal.” She was getting a little offended at Spencer’s reaction. Did she really think that she slept with all those girls?

“I’m sorry, I just thought you’d be a little more experienced.” The statement was honest.

“Hey now,” Ashley started defensively but the glint her eyes let Spencer know that she wasn’t completely offended. “I may have only slept with one girl, but I am experienced. One person doesn’t mean I’ve had sex only once.” Ashley startled to babble and Spencer could sense that it was going to be a TMI conversation so she pushed Ashley back down on the blanket and resumed their previous positions.

Ashley smiled when Spencer started to cuddle. “You’re cute,” she said randomly and placed a soft kiss on Spencer’s head.

“I know.” Spencer smiled when heard Ashley gasp dramatically.

“Who’s the arrogant one now?”

“You still are.” She leaned up and kissed her. “Never thought I’d be cuddling in a park at night with Ashley Davies.”

“Well, I’ve always dreamed of cuddling in a park with Spencer Carlin so this isn’t a big of deal,” she said nonchalantly and earned a poke in the stomach.

Spencer shook her head as she started to pulled on Ashley’s tie again.

“What time is your curfew?” Ashley asked as she watched Spencer’s hand start to wander. Despite the cool night, she felt very hot.

“One,” Spencer answered but was too busy fingering the buttons on Ashley’s shirt.

A quick glance at her watch told Ashley that it was just pass midnight. “Well, then,” she said as her own hand wandered as well. “What ever shall we do until then?”

“I can think of a few things.” Spencer said as she pulled on the tie more insistently.

Ashley could only grin. “Yeah, I can think of more.”
