“I just threw in what you had gotten from RedBox. I hope you don’t-”

Hearing a familiar voice on the television Ashley stops and her eyes go wide as she stares blankly at Dr. Spencer. “Whoa! This is the Celeste & Zoe video…nice choice…two of my favorites actually” she gives with a wink and grabs a beer from the tray. Popping the top she relaxes at the cool first sip of the liquid.

Spencer on the other hand is freaking and pushing all the wrong buttons on the remote control to turn the damned thing off. She stops for a moment and stares back at Ashley but her fingers keep trying to push buttons to find ‘stop’ ‘Wait, did she say nice choice? Is she…? No maybe it’s just her preference of adult film. A lot of girls are into lesbian porn’

She shrugs it off once she gets the TV back to the blue main menu. “Ummm yeah, sorry about that. They must have given me the wrong movie. I thought this was supposed to be ‘Women Seeing Warriors.’” With a slight bit of flush Spencer suggests watching television instead while they eat.

“Uhhuh” Ashley’s smirk grows as she keeps sipping her beer. “Women Seeking Warriors or Women Seeking Women. Whatever story you’re sticking to, fine by me.” All the while in the back of her mind she’s thinking, “Bingo! She’s so a lesbian. I’ve got this in the bag.”

They decided that just watching a little cable television would be best for now until Spencer’s face wasn’t so red.

“Come on let’s eat. I’m starving!”

After digging into the spring rolls and various sushi rolls all was forgotten as they indulged their stomachs.

A few beers later Spencer glances at Ashley who is humming and bobbing her head with her eyes half closed.

“I think someone’s getting sleepy.” This causes a giggle from her humming friend.

“Nah, I’m good.” She grins wide and starts singing what she was humming out loud, “party, party, party, let’s all get wasted,” which causes Spencer to bust out laughing and of course that starts a chain reaction of giggles.

When they settle down Ash explains, “I have this thing where when I start getting tipsy I sing this song in my head and it’s a sign that it’s time to stop drinking.”

“Well that’s my cue to take your friend from you.” Spencer removes the bottle from Ash’s hands

“But we were so close. I’m going to miss you Miller,” She says letting go of her bottle necked friend.

“Yeah you definitely need to stop and don’t think you’re driving out of here either. We can go and pick up the kids from the center and I will bring you guys home til you sober up.”

“Are you sure Spence?”

“Of course, I won’t let you put your life or Arin and Addi’s lives in danger. I care about you too much.”

Ashley with her big glossy eyes faces Spencer and beams the biggest smile at her.

Not realizing what she said until she’d finished brought a blush to Spencer’s cheeks.

Ashley just leans forward and places a gentle but sloppy kiss on her jaw bone and laced their fingers together to pull them up.

“Let’s do this!” Ashley chuckles to herself swaying slightly and hands dropped a second after they’re both standing and walking towards the door with keys in hand.

Giggles were heard all the way to the parking lot and neither of them may know it yet but the pages are about to start turning in their lives.
