Hanna was walking to Spencer's house listening to music on her phone. As she was getting close, her phone started playing I want you by Common. Hanna slowed down her pace. She really liked the song and wanted to enjoy it a little longer until she got to her destination.
When the Hastings house came into her view, she saw the front door opening. Out came a petite redhead followed by Spencer. The duo smiled at each other and hugged. Hanna couldn't help, but be a bit curious. She'd never seen the girl before, or at least she didn't remember. The girl smiled once more at Spencer and turned and left. As she was passing her, Hanna felt something weird. A little sting of jelousy. What the hell? Why would I be jelous? Spencer and I are friends. She thought.
...I need your warm, the taste of your mouth girl, I need your warm...Common rapped in her ears.
Shit. I'm in love with Spencer. Hanna realized.
Spencer noticed Hanna walking towards her, putting her earbuds in her purse. She couldn't help, but smile. She loved all of her friends (Aria, Emily and Hanna) equally, but she felt she and Hanna shared a little deeper connection. After all it was Hanna who first noticed something was off about Spencer when she was on those horrible pills and it was Spencer who noticed and helped Hanna with her drinking problem. It was Hanna Spencer came to when she had those horrible nightmares and it was also Hanna she came to see or called when her family was too much to bear.
Hanna came to Spencer and gave her a hug. They both put hands on each other's backs and closed their eyes. After a couple seconds they let go.
" I'm really glad you came, Han." Spencer said and smiled.
Hanna mirrored the smile with her own. Spencer really loved to see the blonde girl smile. The way her pale blue eyes sparkled was magnificent.
" Would I ever miss a chance to see you, Spence?"
Spencer blushed a little at that comment.
" Common inside. It's really hot out. I have AC and a nice cold lemonade."
Hanna smiled and followed Spencer inside the house.
" You know just how to make my day." Spencer laughed at that.
They spent several hours just talking and watching a movie. It was going great. Then Hanna remembered the girl from earlier and wanted to ask Spencer about her. She thought about a couple minutes and than collected the courage to finally ask.
"Spencer, I wanna ask you something." Hanna finally said.
" Sure thing, ask away."
"...Can I sleep over tonight?" Hanna asked and couldn't believe she chickened out at the last second.
Spencer gave a little laugh.
" Absolutely. I thought it was a given."
" Well, I just wanted to be on the safe side." Said Hanna.
" You're always safe with me." Spencer said.
Hanna smiled while Spencer looked into her bed they were sitting on.
What the hell, Spencer? Corny much? And what kind of comment was that supposed to be, anyway? It's like you're hitting on her. Spencer's eyes went wide.
Oh my. It's not that, is it? Oh boy, it is. It's exactly like that. I'm in love with Hanna.
The next morning Spencer woke up spooning Hanna. She was lying right behind her with her left hand hugging Hanna over her belly. It was rather pleasant. Spencer smiled to herself. She looked at Hanna's face. She was so peaceful in her sleep. A few strands of her blonde hair had fallen into Hann's face. Spencer slowly removed it and tucked it behind Hanna's ear. Then she began slowly and gently stroking the other girl's hair. She even kissed Hanna's scalp a couple times.
Hanna was slowly coming to. As she was waking up, she could feel slender fingers playing with her hair. A sleepy smile spread across her face. She always loved the feeling. And when it was Spencer, it was that much better. She opened her eyes and blinked a few times.
" Good morning." Hanna said.
" Good morning." Spencer answered, still running her fingers through Hanna's hair.
" Mmm, this has to be one of the best mornings ever."
Spencer smiled at Hanna, who turned to face her. They had no idea that they both had the same thing in their minds right then.
God, she's so beautiful.
" Take a shower and get dressed. I'll go to the kitchen and make coffee." Spencer said.
Hanna sat up.
" No, Spence. We're gonna do it the other way around. You know you're the only person who can handle your coffee."
" I keep forgetting my friends are a bunch of amateurs." Spencer said and rolled her eyes. She got out of the bed and headed for the bathroom. "Okay, have it your way. I'll be down in ten."
Hanna gave her a bright smile.
" See you in ten minutes, sunshine."
Ten minutes later, Spencer came down to the kitchen and could smell the coffee. Hanna was already sipping it from a mug and another one, still steaming was sitting on the counter, waiting for Spencer to drink it. She took in her hand and sat down to the table, opposite Hanna.
" Thank you." She said in her husky voice.
" No problem. Last night was really fun."
Spencer smiled.
" Yes, it was."
Hanna's face got serious.
" Listen Spence. I need to ask you something. Something I wanted to ask you yesterday, but I chickened out."
" So there was something you wanted to ask, other than if you could sleep over." Spencer said and took another sip of her coffee.
Hanna just gave a nod.
" Well, go ahead then. Ask me."
Okay, Hanna. You can do this. She told herself in her mind.
" Who was that girl that was here yesterday?"
There was a suspicious look on Spemcer's face.
" My friend Erin. Why?"
" No reason, really. I've just never seen her that's all." Hanna said a little too quickly.
Spencer took another sip and put the cup down on the table.
" Well, she's older than us. She doesn't live here anymore. She moved to New York when she got into college there. And I'm allowed to have other friends than the three of you. I mean, we all do."
Hanna took a quick sip of her coffee.
" Yes, of course. "
Spencer narrowed her eyes.
" Why'd you ask about her, then?"
" Honestly, I have no idea now." Hanna said and Spencer noticed she was getting nervous.
" You had to have a reason, Hana." Spencer pushed the issue.
Hanna sighed.
" I don't know, Spence. You seemed really close and all. Maybe I got a little jelous." Hanna couldn't believe she just said that.
" Why would you get jelous, Han? We're close as well." Spencer told her.
" Yes, I know we are. It was the affection. I...forget it."
The brunette shook her head.
" No. Why would you be jelous? Even if it was just a little?"
Hanna took a deep breath. Oh my god. I have to tell her, otherwise I'm going to explode. I just hope things don't get awkward between us. Hanna thought.
" Hanna?"
" Huh?" Hanna was torn from her thoughts by Spencer's voice.
" Are you finally going to tell me why would you get even the slightest bit jelous over me showing affection to my friend?"
" I...it's...well...maybe erm...maybe jelous isn't the right word." Hanna kept stumbling over her words.
" You used it." Spencer said.
" Yes and maybe I missused it. I mean, it's not like..."
" Hanna!" Spencer snapped. Hanna looked at her, surprised. "Stop blabbering and tell me. Now."
The blonde girl took a deep breath.
" Because I love you, dummy. There it is. I finally said it. Spence, I really hope this doesn't make things weird between us. I mean, if you don't feel that way about me, which you probably don't, I'll get over it. Just...I don't wanna lose you as a friend. I can't." Hanna said rapidly and by the time she finished, there was panic in her eyes.
" You won't. It's not gonna make anything weird or awkward. I love you too, Hanna banana." Spencer said and smiled at the beauty in front of her.
Hanna was a little shocked.
" You do?"
Spencer nodded yes.
" I started noticing some time ago, but last night I was sure."
" You can't be serious." Hanna said.
" Why?" Spencer asked.
" Because I realized yesterday. When I saw you with Erin."
They smiled at each other. Hanna took Spencer's hand into her own.
" Wanna be my girlfriend?" Spencer asked.
" No, I just told you I loved you just out of fun. Of course I wanna be your girlfriend." Hanna laughed and Spencer joined her. Then they shared a few gentle kisses.
" Do we tell Emily and Aria?" Asked Hanna.
" Absolutely, I want to see their faces." Spencer said.
Hanna laughed.
" Okay, let me take a shower and get dressed and we'll call a meeting."
" Yes, I have to get dressed as well. " Said Spencer and she took Hanna's hand. Hanna smiled, she really liked the feeling. They went upstairs hand in hand.
Hanna went into the bathroom and Spencer got her phone and texted Aria and Emily. She was sure their faces were going to be priceless. She smiled at that thought and went to her wardrobe to get dressed.
