"I think i'm doing it wrong" Ashley's cookie dough didn't look like Taylor's at all.

Taylor laughed, taking off her coat and throwing it onto the couch "You put too much flour in, silly! Here, put more of this in" she handed Ashley a bowl of mixture and Ashley dumped half the bowl in.

Taylor came up behind Ashley and put her arms around her and helped her mix it together, placing her soft hands on Ashley's "See, now does it look like mine?"

"I guess" Ashley was too focused on Taylor's slender fingers resting on hers.

And then, her hands were gone, but Taylor still lingered behind Ashley, watching her mix "That's it...there you go!!"

She rested her chin on Ashley's shoulder and continued to watch until Ashley's mixture looked like hers.

"Now, dust some flour on the counter and roll out the dough."

Ashley did as Taylor instructed and then, using the small cookie cutters Taylor had, she cut out cookies from her dough and placed them on a tray. She then handed the tray to Taylor to put in the oven.

As Taylor stood up from the oven, Ashley grabbed some flour and the minute Taylor turned around, she lightly threw it at her and giggled.

"Oh, I see how it is!" Taylor said, retaliating by throwing flour back at Ashley and chasing her around the kitchen.

"You can't catch me!" Ashley squealed. She was covered in flour but she still ran through Taylor's house with the other girl hot on her heels.

Suddenly, Taylor's arms were back around Ashley's waist and she pulled her back into her arms "Gotcha" she said, giggling.

Ashley giggled and leaned back into Taylor, breathing in Taylor's aroma. She smelled like flowers and cat food.

"You smell nice" Ashley told her, slowly turning in Taylor's arms.

"Oh, I do?" Taylor chuckled, gazing into Ashley's eyes. "You're really pretty."

"You're not too bad yourself" Ashley bit her lip.

They gazed into each other's eyes, noticing every inch of colour and seeing every single eyelash.

Then the oven beeped, causing both girls to inwardly groan and destroying the moment.

They reluctantly broke apart and trudged into the kitchen. Taylor pulled on oven gloves and took the two trays out of the oven.

"Now, careful they're-"

"MMMH" Ashley dropped the cookie, fanning her mouth.

"-hot" Taylor finished.

Ashley swallowed "Fuck, they're hot"

"I went to warn you, silly, come here!" she pulled Ashley into her arms again, hugging her.

Ashley gently wrapped arms around Taylor's waist and breathed in her sweet aroma once more. Taylor was really warm.

"Did you burn your mouth?" Taylor murmured into her neck.

"Mmh-hmm"

Taylor looked at Ashley and gently kissed her lips, surprising both herself and Ashley. Ashley swore her heart stopped for a moment.

(Trip of my life)

"Better?"

Ashley gave a small smirk "No, I think I need another one."

Taylor kissed Ashley again, softly, but didn't pull away. Neither of them pulled away until they needed air to breathe. Ashley forgot how to breathe but at least Taylor was there to catch her if she fell.

(I get so high every time you're loving me)

"Better?" Taylor asked, panting slightly and she pulled away.

Ashley was speechless so she just nodded "I...I wasn't expecting that"

Taylor smiled shyly, averting her gaze to the floor "It was just something I wanted to try..."

Ashley let Taylor pull her closer to her chest "I really like you Ash, i'm sorry if I scared you."

(Is it cool that I said all that?)

"You didn't scare me. You surprised me, but it was a nice surprise."

(Is it chill that you're in my head?)

They stood in each others arms, holding on to each other because right there, each other was all they had.
