”“Only way I can get home.” Her reply isn’t exactly what I wanted to hear. I can feel my last ounce of pride drop. “Hey, Ash. I’m glad you’re here.” Looking up quickly I try not to beam so brightly.
“Really.” A look – something I can’t really place – settles across her face.
“Really.”
...
The ride was awkward to say the least. We were halfway to her house before I spoke.
“Wanna pick out a CD?”
“M’kay.” She searched through the overhead CD holder on the visor. “OH, pink! It’s so pretty. I wouldn’t figure that you’d have a pink CD.”
“Don-” It was too late. Spencer had already fed the disk to the player and turned the volume up.
I look at the starlight
I am shattered by the night
Always run where I can
And I hide where I wanna hide
She smiles softly.
But it feels so right
I want it tonight
It feels so right
“Ash, is this you?” Blushing, I nodded. “Ohmygosh, Ashley! It’s beautiful.
I went out of my mind
I am calling you one more time
I know how it feels tonight
I can do nothing about it
But it feels so right
I want it tonight
You feel so right
Spencer threw her head back, letting the wind whip her hair around. I took that moment to admire how beautiful she was. She looked so much older and was filling out her clothes perfectly. Glancing back at the rode to make sure I didn’t kill us, I looked back longingly at Spencer.
I will wait to love you
I will wait another day
For you I'd leave all this behind
I will wait for you tonight
I will waste another dream of you
… so beautiful. I started to notice that she was getting a little curvy – she was to skinny before- now she was really looking older… completely gorgeous…
Always run to you
I will take the long road
But it leads right back to you
Pull you into to the sun
I will steal its time for you
“Th-the CD… I made it… for you…” I said quietly.
But it feels so right
I want it tonight
You feel so right
“Ashley…” My heart literally hurt at the tone.
“Sorry.”
I will wait to love you
I will wait another day
For you I'd leave all this behind
I will wait for you tonight
I will waste another dream of you
Always run to you
I will wait to love you
I will wait another day
For you I'd leave all this behind
I will wait for you tonight
I will waste another dream of you
Always run to you
...
