The SUV came to a slow stop in the driveway. At this point Spencer could drive there blindfolded. "Em, just trust me." Emily leaned over the center console to peck her friends cheek while Spencer was still in mid sentence. Spencers head turned slightly and the friendly kiss landed half on her lips. Emily opened the door and was half way out of the car before turning back to her best friend. "I.. I know what I saw Spence. Mona was in the coffee shop tonight. I saw her and five minutes later some random stranger hands me a 'lost' $20 with an A on it. I don't know how but she is getting out of Radley again " Spencer was half listening to Emily, they occasionally hugged hi and bye but there was really never a kiss on the cheek to go along with it. "Spencer! Are you listening to me at all? " Emily huffed and moved fully out of the SUV. Spencer snapped her head back around to look at Em, clearing her throat and blinking a few times. "Yes I'm listening. Call down. I said I'd talk to him tomorrow but I still don't see how she could be doing that again. I'll call you in the morning and let you know what Wren says, okay ?"
Emily nodded and closed the door then turned to walk towards her house, Spencer's window rolled down and she heard Spencer call her name. "Em.. just.. call me if you need me, okay? " A smile crept up on Emily's face and nodded again. "I'll be fine, just cal me in the morning." With that she moves quickly towards her door and went inside, still smiling and feeling somewhat happy, nervous and confused all at the same time. Spencer pulled away from the house intending to go home but found herself sitting outside Arias house. Pulling out her phone she sent a quick text asking Aria if she was still awake and if so could she come in.
"Aria.. are you awake? "
"Yeah , what's up ?"
"Can I come in ?"
"Door should be unlocked , come up "
It seemed like maybe five seconds had passed before Spencer walked into Arias room and closed the door behind her. When Aria looked up Spencer was standing there like a deer in headlights. "Spence? What's wrong? "
Not really sure of how to say what was on her mind Spencer tried to loosen herself up.
"I was just wondering.. you know, what you were doing tonight "
"Its 11:30 on a Saturday night and I'm home wondering why you flew into my house, up my stairs and slammed my door shut like someone was chasing you. " Aria jumped up from her bed and moved to look out of her window then looked back at Spencer. "Is… Spence, is someone chasing you? Did something happen?"
"No. No one is chasing me. Nothing happened.. well something happened but I wasn't chased " Spencer moved to sit on Arias bed and began to tell her about what had happened to Emily earlier that night. As she neared the end of the story she felt her palms getting sweaty, she was starting to think she imagined the half kiss no kiss and laughed a little. "…then she went to give me a kiss on the cheek goodbye as I turned my head…so it was sort of half on my lips.. " When Spencer had finally looked at Aria she felt even more confused. "What the hell are you smiling about? "
"Are you freaking out because you liked it, didn't like it.. or because you want to know if it will happen again?
"What? What are you talking about? " Spencer stood up and began to pace round the very small room before turning back to Aria. "I am not freaking out! Wait.. am I? Its.. just.. well I know it was accidental but it.. this is ridiculous. " She resumed her pacing while giving reasons as to why it was a non issue, Em was her best friend after all. "I would have known, you do not just get half a kiss one night and suddenly start questioning who you are.. "
Aria looked at her friend with a soft smile. She knew what ever Spencer was feeling, she wasn't ready to deal with it. "Spencer stop pacing. Em gave you a peck goodbye and you happened to turn your head. That's all. Relax and sit. But I do think you should call Wren tonight. "
