Spencer could feel soft lips grazing the side of her neck in a most delicious way. A moan escaped her mouth as she felt hands caress her breasts as they made their way down her body. She felt teeth bite her collarbone as a hand finally reached her panty line. She was desperate for release.

"Are you sure baby? I'd wait forever for you." Her love gazed into her eyes. She had never felt so taken care of or loved.

"I'm sure Em. Please."

"Anything for you." Emily smiled her breathtaking smile and began to kiss her way to Spencer's center. She looked up and into Spencer's eyes and began to pull down her underwear.

Spencer awoke with a start, sweaty and turned on. She just had the most amazing and detailed sex dream that left her yearning and unfulfilled. She could feel her heart racing and her breaths were coming fast and hard. She could feel the wetness that had gathered between her legs. She needed a cold shower to calm herself down.

As she gathered her clothes for the day, she couldn't help but think about her dream. It was the fourth one this week. Why was she dreaming about one her best friends in that way? She wasn't gay, at least she didn't think so. Sure, she had a crush on Olivia Benson, but who didn't? Besides, it was just a crush on a television character. She wasn't attracted to her best friend. She couldn't be.

Spencer took her shower and quickly got ready for the day. Today would be the last day of her junior year. To celebrate, she and her twin sister, Alex, would be having their best friends over for a sleepover.

As she made her way downstairs, the scent of freshly made coffee and bacon filled her nostrils. When she looked into the kitchen, she saw her parents and both of her sisters waiting for her.

"How did you beat me downstairs?" She asked Alex. Spencer was obviously the more punctual twin.

"I smelled bacon," Alex replied as if it were the most obvious answer.

"Oh, of course, silly me." Spencer laughed as she began to pour her first cup of coffee. She then went to her parents to wish them good morning.

"Morning, Dad."

"Good morning, kiddo." Peter Hastings replied with a smile as he read the paper. Spencer then went to her mother. She hugged her mother and Veronica returned the hug with extra gusto. She could tell something was bothering Spencer.

"Good morning, sweetheart. Did you sleep okay?" Spencer shrugged with a slight blush. Even though her mother's intuition was telling her Spencer needed to talk about something, Veronica knew she had to let Spencer come to her. Unlike her sisters, Spencer needed to mull over a problem or issue before she came to her parents.

"Morning, Spence," Melissa said with a smile as she ate her last bites of breakfast.

"I hate to eat and run but I have a meeting in a little over an hour." Melissa turned and looked at the twins. "Are you guys still coming to my dress fitting on Monday?" Melissa was currently planning her wedding to Derek, a very kind law student she met at school.

"Of course, we would miss it. Right, Spence?" Alex replied while reaching for another piece of bacon.

"Totally, we'll be there."

"Great! We'll get dinner after, make it a sister date." After hugging her sisters and parents goodbye, Melissa left for work.

"So, girls, the sleepover is still on for tonight, right?" Peter asked his twin daughters.

"Yep! I'm so excited! All of our girls are coming." Alex told her father.

"Does that include Mona? You know the rules." Peter said.

"Yes, dad. Mona is coming but I know the rules. No hanky panky," Alex said while rolling her eyes. Alex had been dating Mona since the middle of their sophomore year.

"Dad, don't worry. We'll keep an eye on her." Spencer said with a laugh. Alex stuck her tongue out at her, which just made Spencer laugh more.

"Do you guys need me to pick up anything for tonight?" Their mother asked.

"Maybe some chips and drinks? We're going to order pizza and make popcorn." Spencer told her.

"Okay, I can do that."

The family finished up their breakfasts and said their goodbyes. Veronica and Peter headed to Philadelphia to their office while Spencer and Alex headed to school.

"What's wrong with you?" Alex said from the driver's seat as she stared at her twin from the corner of her eye.

"What do you mean?" Spencer said as she was shaken from her daze.

"You're being crazy quiet and you didn't fight me for the last piece of bacon this morning. So again, what's wrong with you?" Spencer sighed at how well her twin knew her. Even though they spent the first five years of their lives apart, Alex and Spencer had a deep connection and bond. Both knew the other better than anyone.

"Nothing, I just had a weird dream," Spencer said. Alex could tell something else was bothering her sister.

"Is that all?" Alex said.

"Yes. I just want today to be over." Spencer said as she turned to look out the window again.

"Whatever you say, when you decide you're ready to talk, you know I'm here for you Spence," Alex said as she reached over to squeeze Spencer's hand.

When they pulled into the school parking lot, Spencer quickly found Emily getting out of her car. She couldn't help but stare at how beautiful the swimmer was. She shook her head at the thoughts filling her mind. Alex pulled into a spot and they both got out of the car. As they walked into the school, Alex found Mona waiting for her. The two shared an embrace before heading to their first class, chemistry. Spencer walked to her locker to retrieve her AP History books. She couldn't get her dreams out of her head. She couldn't be falling for her best friend, could she?

By the time lunch rolled around, Spencer was agitated. She just wanted the day to end and for summer to officially start. She was the first one to sit at her and her friend's usual table. After a moment, her friends began to trickle over. First, she saw Aria, Alex, and Mona coming her way.

"Hey, Spence," Aria said as she sat down.

"Hey, Aria."

"I'm so excited for tonight," Mona told Spencer. While Spencer and Mona weren't close in middle school, the two quickly bonded after Mona and Alex began dating. Even though most people thought they were a weird couple and they wouldn't work, Spencer knew how much her sister truly loved the girl.

"I am too. I'm really glad you all are coming." Spencer replied with a smile. The four friends began discussing their summer plans. Aria would be taking a photography and a literature class at Hollis, while Mona, Alex, and Spencer would be taking summer classes at UPenn. A few minutes later, Hanna, Alison, Emily, and Paige came to sit at the table.

"Hey guys, are you ready for tonight?" Alex asked.

"Of course! I can't wait. Do you guys need us to bring anything?" Emily asked.

"Candy," Alex said in a very serious manner. It was no secret that Alex had a candy obsession.

"She's kidding, we've got it covered," Spencer said as Alex pouted.

"Don't worry babe. I'll bring you some candy tonight." Mona said as she kissed Alex's cheek.

"I don't deserve you, beautiful." Alex replied as she held Mona's hand.

"You guys are gross," Alison said jokingly.

"Like you and McCullers are any better?" Alex asked. Alison smirked while Paige blushed. They had been a recent development. While everyone thought they hated one another, it seemed obvious to their friends that it was pure sexual tension driving their rivalry.

"So, what are your summer plans, guys?" Aria asked as she took another bite of her salad.

"Shopping," Hanna said.

"My family is going to Cape May again," Alison told the group.

"Paige and I got jobs as lifeguards at the YMCA," Emily said.

The friends finished their lunches while talking about the night to come and their plans for the upcoming summer. While she was throwing out her trash, Spencer felt someone grab her arm.

"Spence?" Emily asked.

"What's up, Em?" She replied.

"You seem like something is bothering you. Are you okay?" Emily's concerned brown eyes were boring into Spencer and for the first time, Spencer realized she could get very easily get lost in them.

"Yeah, Em. I'm fine. Promise." Spencer hoped Emily bought her lie and would let her go. Emily's hand was still on Spencer's arm and the feel of her skin touching her was beginning to make Spencer feel dizzy.

"Are you sure?" Emily asked still concerned about her friend.

"Yes. I'm fine." Spencer said, hoping her smile would convince Emily.

"Okay. I'll see you tonight. Is six okay?"

"Sure. Six works. See you tonight." Spencer turned to walk away. Not wanting to admit to herself that losing the feeling of Emily's hand on her arm left her feeling empty.

When the twin arrived back home that afternoon, they began to gather things for their sleepover.

"Okay, game plan. You get the pillows and blankets. I'll get the popcorn and stuff, then we can order the pizza. Deal?" Alex said holding out her hand for Spencer to fist bump. Spencer giggled a bit. Alex tended to act like every task was one of her volleyball matches that required a game plan.

As Spencer gathered the pillows, blankets and air mattresses, her mind kept drifting to Emily and her obvious feeling for the girl. When did they happen? Did she have them when she was dating Toby? What did they mean? Was she gay? What would her parents think? Would Emily feel the same? Would she-

"Spence? I've been calling your name for like ten minutes? Are you done? Woah, why are you crying?" Alex asked as she came over to her sister. Spencer reached up to find her cheeks wet. She hadn't even realized she was crying. She just reached for her sister. Alex held her while Spencer cried out her feelings. When her sobs turned to quiet sniffles, Alex pulled away and wiped her sister's eyes.

"Okay, you want to tell me what's really bothering you? Is it because of Toby" Alex asked as she leads her sister downstairs to the couch.

"No, it's not him," Spencer said looking at the floor.

"Spence, you know you can tell me anything. We're womb-mates, remember?" Just as Spencer began to tell her sister about her confusion for Emily, their mother came through the door laden with grocery bags.

"Later, okay?" Spencer asked. Alex nodded as they both headed to help their mother sort through the groceries and snacks.

"Okay girls, I picked up a few different varieties of chips and sodas and some cupcakes. I figured it's a celebration. I can't believe you guys are seniors. It seems just like yesterday that you guys were babies." Veronica said wistfully.

"Mom, you aren't going to get all emotional and stuff, right?" Alex said with a smile on her face. Their mother may be a total bad ass in the courtroom, but when it came to her family, she was a big softy.

"I'm sorry girls, I can't help it," Veronica replied with a smile. "So, your father and I will be in here but if you need anything, don't hesitate. Do you guys need help carrying stuff to the barn?" She asked her daughters.

"I think we got it, mom. Plus, I think Aria and Hanna just pulled up. They can help us." Spencer said. Veronica gave her daughters quick hugs before going to her office to do a bit of work.

Hanna and Aria knocked and walked into the Hastings' kitchen.

"Sleepover time!" Hanna yelled. The girls couldn't help but laugh at their friend. The shy, insecure girl they once knew had blossomed into a confident and proud young woman.

"Yes, Han, but first we have to carry all of this into the barn," Alex said as she grabbed a couple of grocery bags. Once all the groceries and linens were brought into the barn, the girls arranged a huge pile in the living room in front of the television and set up the air mattresses. After they ordered pizzas. Once the other girls arrived, they all changed into their pajamas. Spencer tried her best to avoid seeing Emily change, but couldn't help but to peek at her. Seeing her in just her under made Spencer's heart race. She was dying to touch Emily's skin. It looked so soft.

"Look what I brought!" Alison said holding a bottle of tequila.

"Guys, my parents will kill us if we get drunk," Spencer said nervously.

"Okay, then we won't get drunk. C'mon Spence, just enough to take the edge off." Allison said pleadingly.

"Fine, but we aren't getting crazy."

The girls settled down and began watching Dirty Dancing while they ate their pizza. When the movie was over, Ali suggested they play Truth or Dare.

"I hate this game," Aria said with a pout.

"I love this game," Alex said.

"Okay, some ground rules. NO dares that require going outside, nothing that will make my parents come in here and no dares that will cause my sister to defile her girlfriend in front of us. I can't unsee that." Spencer said.

"Fine, fun sucker. The only rule I have, if you don't' want to say your truth or do your dare, you have to take two shots." Ali said. Everyone agreed with a nod. "Awesome, who's first?"

Alex shot her hand up. "Ooh, me! Pick me!"

"Okay fine, Alex, truth or dare?" Alison asked.

"Truth!"

"Where's the weirdest place you and Mona have had sex?" Mona and Alex both giggled and blushed.

"Janitor's closet," Alex said.

"Wait, you guys did it at school?" Aria asked.

"Yep. After volleyball practice. I couldn't wait. I mean have you seen how gorgeous my girl is?" Alex said leaning over to kiss Mona. When Spencer felt that the kiss was getting too heated for an audience, she threw a pillow at the pair.

"Hey!" Alex said.

"Keep it PG, please," Spencer asked. Alex pouted at Spencer but pulled Mona closer to her and into her lap.

"Fine. You never let me have any fun. Truth or Dare, Hanna?" She asked as she turned towards the blonde.

"Ummm, truth," Hanna said.

"Have you ever gone down on Caleb?" Spencer could see Emily blush a bit at her sister's bluntness.

"Yep," Hanna said matter-of-factly.

"Ali. Truth or dare." Hanna asked when she noticed Ali and Paige sharing some pretty heated glances.

"Dare," Ali replied.

"I dare you to make out with Paige for two full minutes," Ali smirked before straddling Paige and locking their lips together. As their exchanged heated up, Alex huffed.

"Why do they get to make out? Mona and I need love too!"

Spencer glanced at Emily and their eyes connected for a split second, but it was long enough for Spencer's heart to race and her palms to sweat. She quickly turned her gaze to the floor. After what felt like an eternity, the timer on Hanna's phone went off signaling the two minutes were over. Alison gave Paige one final kiss and climbed off her lap. She turned her attention to Spencer.

"Okay, Spence. Your turn, truth or dare."

Spencer took a deep breath and replied.

"Truth."

"Why did you and Toby break up?" The couple's break up was something all the girls were ignoring. Spencer had made it perfectly clear that she had no intention of talking about it. Only Alex and Emily knew what really happened, how deeply she had been hurt by what happened. Spencer quickly poured two shots and downed them.

"C'mon Spence, just tell us. It's been like a month." Ali pressed. Alex quickly came to her sister's defense.

"Ali, drop it."

"She should be over it by now. We're her best friends. She can tell us anything." Ali told Alex.

"She doesn't want to talk about it," Alex said getting a bit annoyed.

Spencer sat between her best friends, looking at the floor. She could feel tears welling in her eyes, very close to falling. She didn't want them to know about the breakup because she was embarrassed.

"Ali, please just let it go," Emily said. She saw how upset Spencer was getting.

"Look, she should trust us enough to tell us," Ali said. Finally, Spencer broke.

"He broke up with me because I wouldn't have sex with him. Are you happy now? Everyone knows that Spencer Hastings is just a prude who won't give it up!" Spencer yelled as she ran out of the barn with tears running down her cheeks.

Alex was up and following Spencer until Emily stopped her.

"Let me," Emily said while looking at Mona trying to silently communicate that she needed to calm Alex down. As she turned to follow Spencer, she heard Alex say

"Nice one, Ali." The tension could be felt so deeply in the barn. As she went outside, she saw Spencer on the Hastings' porch swing. She could tell she was trying to stop crying. She quickly sat down and gathered Spencer into her arms.

"It's okay, Spence. I've got you." She whispered into Spencer's ear while she gently ran her fingers through her hair. After a few minutes, Spencer calmed down enough to look at Emily.

"Thanks, Em. I didn't mean to bring the party down."

"Spence, you don't have to thank me I'm your best friend. It's what I'm here for. Besides, you didn't bring anything down. When you're ready, we're going to go back in the barn and binge on cupcakes and candy and watch Titanic." Spencer smiled. It was her favorite movie. She cried every time she watched it.

"Okay." Spencer stood up and held her hand out for Emily to take. Emily laced their fingers together and they walked toward the barn. When they got inside, it was obvious Mona was trying to calm an angry Alex down, while Paige seemed to be comforting Ali with Hanna and Aria looking both confused and awkward. When Ali saw Spencer come inside she rushed over to her and engulfed her in a hug.

"I am so sorry Spence. I didn't mean to hurt you. I will totally go key Toby's truck if you want." Spencer couldn't help but giggle.

"It's fine Ali. I know you didn't mean to hurt me." Spencer gave her friend one last squeeze before she sat on the floor again.

"I'm serious. Let's go key his truck." Ali said.

"I don't think so. I'm not that upset." Spencer told her.

"Okay, but my offer still stands," Ali replied. Spencer looked over to her sister. She finally seemed to be calming down, but Spencer could tell she was still mad at their cousin.

"Okay, movie time!" Emily said as she turned on the Netflix queue. She picked Titanic and she and her friends got comfortable. Alex and Mona cuddle together on one air mattress, while Hanna and Aria laid on the couch next to Paige and Ali who were also cuddled together on the other mattress. Emily sat on the loveseat and silently held open her arms and Spencer could resist climbing into them and cuddling closer to her. Emily's unique scent of chlorine and coconut overwhelmed Spencer's senses. She could hear Emily's heartbeat in her ears. Her hand was drawing designs on the skin of her back where her shirt had ridden up. Her whole being was being consumed by Emily Fields, and in that moment, Spencer decided that wasn't such a bad thing.
