Gravity

Chapter 31

"I'm dying, Ashley." Spencer says dramatically as I pack my clothes.

"No you're not." I giggle at her. "Stop being dramatic baby." I tell her and walk over to the side of the bed she's laying on. "I love you." I bend down and whisper to her lips before I kiss her.

"I am dying though." She pulls back and pouts.

"Don't be like that baby. We both knew this day was coming." I tell her, taking a seat next to her on the bed.
"Doesn't mean I still can' be upset about it." She says poking her lip out a little more.

"I know this sucks baby, but we'll make it work. I love you." I lean down a whisper to her. I hate having to say goodbye to her. It absolutely kills me.

"I love you more." She kisses me.

"Get up." I tell her, standing up from the bed and holding out a hand for her to take.

"But I don't wanna get up. I wanna stay in bed all day with you holding me." She whines out and I smile at her cuteness.

"I have eight hours until I have to get on a flight to South Carolina and we're not gonna spend that whole time laying in bed, Spencer. So get up and get dressed." I tell her firmly and she groans. "I'm not taking no for an answer.

"Fiiiiiine." She drawls out and slides off her bed. "But I'm not happy about this." She tells me with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah." I say and hit lift her up off the floor. She pouts before kissing my lips and going into the bathroom.

My phone buzzes on the nightstand and I go check it.

'I'm glad you're coming back today. I've missed you.' The text from Emily reads. Before I left I asked her not to text me this week while I'm with Spencer. I wasn't sure if I was gonna tell Spence about the almost kiss or not, but I wanted to be safe. I didn't want to tell her and then have Emily texting me every five minutes. This week definitely would not have been as much fun.

'I guess I kinda missed you guys too. I'll text you once I land.' I text back.

'I'm sure you did! If I were you I'd miss me too. ;) And okay, be sure to text as soon as you land.' She replies. I turn my phone off and put it in my pocket just as Spencer emerges from the bathroom.

"I'm ready." She says in a bland tone causing me to giggle.

"Well don't sound so exited." I playfully roll my eyes as I make my way over to my girlfriend.

"I'm thrilled." She says in monotone.

"I can tell." I smile and kiss her. "What are Madison and everyone else doing on this fine Sunday?" I ask and she shrugs. "Wanna hang out with them?" I suggest.

"Not really." She says and takes a seat on the bed.

"Well we are, so call them." I tell her trying to hold back my laughter from how dramatic my girlfriend is being right now.

"Fine." She says in a blasé tone.

"Okay then." I shake my head and smile at her before kissing her forehead.

"I hate that you're leaving, Ash." Madison says as we all lounge around Taylor's pool. All the couples on a chair together. I'm in the back while Spencer's back in pressed to my front. She hasn't said a word since we got here over an hour ago.

"Yeah, Spencer is gonna go back to being all depressed and bitchy." Taylor adds, receiving a look and a slap on the arm from her girlfriend.

"I wish I didn't have to go." I tell them honestly.
