CHAPTER #2: Pre-Christmas Eve
Italics means thoughts, emphasized word or action. Bolded is a flashback. (….) is an indication that time has passed
Throwing things into their cart as she sings along with the Christmas jingle over Macy's store department intercom, Aria comes across a candle section in the aisle they were walking through. The small brunette wanders off, leaving Spencer behind and grabs a candle set that had a red sales tape on them. She pops off the lid of the larger candle and raises it up to her nose to take an inhalation of its scent. "Spencer," she waves her over as she takes another smell of the large green candle in her hand, "Come smell this." Pushing the cart in her direction, Spencer rides up to the side of Aria as Aria lifts up the candle to her nose, "$20 for this whole collection. Sparkling Cinnamon, Christmas Cookie, and Balsam and Cedar, all perfect scents for the holidays."
"Hmm. It does smell good." Spencer nods approvingly, "Who is it?"
Aria looks at the brand of the other candle in her hand, twisting it around for her to read, "Yankee Candle."
"Yankee Candle? For $20?" Spencer eyebrow quickly raises as she observes the candles in Aria's hands and their size, "Get it. That's practically a steal at that price." Without another word, Aria adds the two candles plus one other candle apart of the collection into their cart along with everything else they're planning to buy at Macy's. Many people surrounded Aria and Spencer not only in Macy's but the entire mall. Seeing that Christmas was merely days away, everyone in Albany seemed to be at the same places at the same time trying to get the same things which made things a little difficult. Shoppers have been hurrying from stores and parking lots with their arms and carts full of bags, making the retail stores look like a re-up, festive version of Black Friday.
"Oh look!" Aria calls out as she rushes over to another section of a different aisle that they were wandering through. Aria grabs a plush toy and spins around to face Spencer, hugging it to her chest with glee, "an Elf on the Shelf! Isn't she so adorable? Now we can have a friendly scout elf who reports to Santa each night during the holidays."
"No." Spencer dryly responds as she grimaced with a displeased face, "We don't need that."
Aria turns the doll to face her as she rubbed their soft chest with her thumb, "I'm going to call her Jenny." she looks towards the shelf holding a barrage of elves and pulls out another one, holding them both together, "And this one is Robbie." the small brunette names them as if she was eight years old all over again, "Jenny can't be reporting herself without a trusty sidekick."
"Aria, we-"
"We're getting them." Aria shoots Spencer a stare as she throws down the elves in the almost packed shopping cart. Without any second left to waste, Aria walks out of the aisle as she continues on with her Christmas shopping mission.
"You…" Spencer dejectedly groans out a sigh, seeing that Aria was already out of personal distance and blending with the other shoppers. She leans down into the cart and picks up the plush toy, looking at the price tag hanging from it's white glove, "Did you even look at the price of these before throwing it in the basket?!"
…..
Coming across a section that had a special on holiday candy and gifts, Aria scans across the neatly organized products and tries to look for anything that could be useful to bring back home. Her eyes stop on a brightly colored tin house that instantly caught her attention in the middle of her gazing that she knew she had to check out. Making her way past other shoppers in that aisle, she approaches the Harry London Chocolate Filled Tin House Collection. Housed inside the adorably and celebratory tin homes where assorted, rich, and decadent chocolates ready for consumption. Painted on the cute tin houses were little people sitting inside the windows and enjoying themselves out on the front steps in the winter weather with their winter clothing. Awww! That house looks like our house! Aria grabs the last boxed collection and turns to place it down in her cart right when another pair of hands stopped her movements and reached for the package as well. Aria looks up to see an older lady who had plans on taking the houses for herself. "Sorry." Aria softly apologizes, waiting for the woman to let go seeing that she grabbed it first. With the box still in both their grasps, Aria confusedly peers up at her.
"Sorry, dear, but I want this." the older woman smiles as she holds a tight grip on the tin houses.
"I'm sorry but uhm…." Aria awkwardly laughs as she shifts uncomfortably in her stance, "I grabbed this first…"
"But this would look so nice in my dining room with my other decorations." the woman tries to con her way to getting the product she wanted with a warm smile, showing off her silver caps in her mouth.
"Well, I'm sure there is another one somewhere else…" Aria nods her head as she politely tried to shake the woman off without causing a scene that's slowly starting to draw nearby people's attention.
"I don't want to hound down a worker just to get one from the back. Why don't you be a good little girl and allow me to have it this Christmas?" she pursues on, "There are thousands of things in this store, you wouldn't stop an old woman like me from getting one thing, would you?"
"But Ma'am…" Aria takes in a deep breath as she looks at people staring at her from the corner of her eyes. She puts her sights back on the relentless woman as she lowers her voice, "This is mines and you're literally trying to take it out of my cart."
"But I need this."
Before Aria can speak out another passive response, out of nowhere, a hand appears and rips the box out of both of their grasps, causing Aria to immediately shoot a glance at the hostile shopper. "Tuck and roll, grandma!" Spencer jerks her head in the opposite direction out of the aisle as she places the box down in her cart. Aria's mouth drops and rolls across the store floor while she stares at Spencer in pure shock."Beat it!"
"Screw you, you damn yuppie!" the older woman's voice shakes as she scowls at Spencer, using her left hand to slap to the right upper arm that raised with a fist, flipping Spencer off, before she walked away.
"Spencer!" Feeling completely embarrassed by her action, Aria smacked Spencer's arm with power behind it as she noticed the other shoppers whispering amongst themselves. "Oh my god, you just did not yell at that old lady like that!"
Spencer rubbed her arm with a strained look, "Old lady?" She scoffs as she nods her head in the direction of the older woman waddling off, "That's Mrs. Parker. I see her down at the Market all the time. She loves to pick on me and give me a hard time. Other than her fast comebacks, she's harmless." Aria stands stuck on stupid, bewilderedly blinking as she tries to muster up any kind of response to the scene that just happened, "Don't worry about it, I got her a little Christmas present for later. Come on let's go." Spencer grabs onto Aria and pulls her as she pushes their cart to their next destination.
….
"Oh my god, Aria, look at this." Aria comes from around her rack of clothing and walks up to Spencer who holds up a blue Christmas sweater of two snowmen with one snowman's carrot nose placed on the other snowman's lower region as he smiles with a sinful grin. Upon seeing the top, Aria gasps out loud, immediately covering her mouth with both her hands. Spencer begins snickering at Aria's reaction as she turns the sweater back around to look at it again. "It's all fun and games until someone nose becomes a penis."
"If you're looking for that sure-fire way to get a rise out of your mother, the Crude Snowman's Penis will definitely do it." Aria laughs as she scans the rack Spencer stood in front of in search of finding some sweaters that put the jolly in Christmas. As Spencer hangs her golden find back, Aria takes out another indecent top.
"Who's that coming to your town this December?" Aria spins around to face Spencer with an amused smirk on her face, "Daddy Christmas." Aria holds up a black sweater with a chocolate version of Santa Claus with a rosy nose and cheeks, amid a flurry of snowflakes and his popular saying written in red words underneath him.
"Hoes, Hoes, Hoes." Spencer giggles as she reads the shirt.
"Because Santa knows what we all really want in our stockings this year." Aria nods her head with an opened mouth smile, shaking the sweater in her hands with excitement.
"Now you're trying to get a rise out of your mother with that." Spencer shakes her head as she continues searching through the assorted gems of holiday clothing inside of another store in the mall. After a few minutes of both girls sifting through the racks, Spencer comes across another set. "Good Lord. Look at this ugly ass couples' cardigan." Aria leans over to Spencer's side and watches her pull out two cardigans –one red with white and one white with red- and shows the smaller brunette.
"What are you talking about? This is high quality and stylish." Aria grabs the white top as she feels the material and the details put into it. Not really having the element of being an 'ugly' holiday article of clothing, Aria notices something that makes her glance up at Spencer with a wide, surprised smile.
Spencer looks down at the sudden change of emotion, not catching on. "What?"
"Did you even look at this?" Aria questions, trying to hold back her laughter.
"No, what?" Spencer turns the cardigan around and looks it over, still not understanding what Aria saw. Giving her a minute to really examine the sweater, Spencer instantly begins laughing as she finally catches onto hidden message.
"Let's buy it." Aria beams as she checks the size of the cardigan and looks for a smaller one.
"Really? That's…." Spencer looks over the clothing one more time before she looks at Aria rummaging through the clothing rack. "this is kinda pushing it."
"It's actually a nice Christmas top. Not to mention no one will notices the design on it until its shown them." Aria finds her size and exchanges it for the other in her hand, "You didn't even notice it and it was right in front of your face."
"A sweater of shapes and little dots falling down and oh, look at that, reindeers doing it doggy-style with the one in the back looking like he's two seconds from making it snow." Spencer comments as she looks over the top once more in complete detail.
"I think it's perfect." Aria giggles as she grabs it out of Spencer's hand and tosses it inside their cart. "Like I said, no one will ever notice. Now…I think I saw a lingerie section when we walked in here. I want to check it out."
….
Doing their rounds for the clothing and decoration aspect of their holiday shopping, Spencer and Aria find themselves in a grocery store to finish their day and fill up their kitchen for everyone coming in tomorrow.
"We're going to have to double up on everything since we have ten mouths to feed." Spencer comments as Aria grabs a gallon of milk. Hearing Spencer's advice, Aria opens the freezer again and grabs another gallon of milk and sets in down inside their shopping cart. "That means that's ten people who are going to be lurking around the kitchen for midnight snacks; Myself included."
"Ooh. We can't forget our favorite kitchen helper." Aria walks a bit ahead of Spencer into a different freezer and pulls out colorful box, facing Spencer to show her the delight, "Pillsbury doughboy and his cookies."
"I thought you were going to hand-make the cookies." Spencer questions as Aria reaches into the freezer and grabs a handful of an assortment of Ready to Bake holiday cookies.
"I am." Aria dumps them into the cart, dusting off her hands afterwards, "These are just something we can pop in the oven really quick and have as a little side for when you want to munch on something."
Continuing on, grabbing different products that would suit the family and putting it down in the cart, things slowly started building inside the longer they stayed in the supermarket. From different kind of meats to packing it in with the alcohol, the two make sure they are well stocked and ready to go.
"Don't you like these?" Aria bends down into an open freezer in front of them, picking up a box of frozen goods, "Pigs in a blanket? You still eat these right?"
Spencer gasps, not having those in so long she almost feels like she was reintroduced to a former love, "Yes." Spencer grabs the box, examining over the cover, "I'm always a slut for Pigs in a blanket." Making her comment a little too loud for personal earshot, an elderly couple shoots a disgusted glance at Spencer, not appreciating her obscene vernacular in such a public location with no regards to other people. "No! I'm-Im..." Spencer sputters out as she tries to defend herself from the sudden glare, "That was-I was just...I…" Falling onto deaf ears as she watches the couple scoot away from her and Aria, Spencer shuts herself up from her babbling and slowly turns back to Aria with her head bowed, "Great. I was just kinkshamed in Publix."
Aria tries to hold her giggling to herself as she steps in Spencer's direction, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder, "You were memeshamed in Publix."
….
Filling their cart as they do one more check to make sure they have everything they needed to prevent another trip over to this side, Spencer walks aimlessly behind Aria as they roll up and down the aisles. Glancing around, Spencer finds a product that catches her eye, bringing out the child in her. Unhooking it from a shelf, Spencer squeezes down on the lever of the grabber hand which makes the claw close and open. The brunette smiles to herself as she casually strolls behind Aria who's oblivious to Spencer's scheming face due to her concentrating on the food items in front of her. Spencer extends the plastic grabber out in front of her and aims for the back of Aria. Getting close enough without Aria noticing, Spencer squeezes the lever making the claw hand pinch tightly on Aria's butt.
"Ow!" Aria jumps at the sudden squeeze and spins in Spencer's direction, instantly noticing the claw. "That-" Aria stomps over to a laughing Spencer and attempts to swat the gadget out of Spencer's hand, "That freaking hurt! Why would you do that?"
"Because…" Spencer giggles as she squeezes and releases the lever repeatedly, making the claw pinch like a feisty crab in front of Aria's face. "I found me booty." Spencer mocks in a pirate imitation as she reaches for Aria again who smacks the claw away from her. Being tickled by the mere simple thing out of life like a claw hand, Spencer continued to follow Aria around the store as she tried to help out in any way she could.
"You want some croutons for your salad?" Spencer asks as she talks with her new claw hand in exchange for her right hand, "Don't worry, I'll get you some croutons. I know you like the Restaurant Style Croutons just…." Spencer extends the claw across the self and wraps the hand halfway around the bag of croutons enough to get a good grip, "Let me get that for ya. No extra work for you because I got you." Spencer raises the bag off the shelf and lowers it above the cart before she releases the lever and the croutons fall into mound of other food products. "See, look at that." Spencer grins at the smaller brunette, "You didn't even have to lift a finger."
Aria tilts her head to the side, trying to disguise her soft smile with a roll of her eyes. "Come on, Inspector Gadget, we're checking out."
"I'm definitely buying this just to let you know." Spencer follows after Aria as she pushes their cart, "This is going to be the best 99 cents I've ever spent."
…
Making it back home into the evening of their day, Aria and Spencer spent the rest of their day prepping their house for the big day tomorrow. Starting with the lights first, they decide to tackle the biggest obstacle which is decking the outside of their townhouse with lights and decorations. Spencer takes on the job by attaching stick-on hooks to the outlining of their front entry way using a ladder as she has her chosen garland around her neck. The once semi-warm day chills into a cold evening as the temperature drops, causing Spencer to shiver here and there through her thin sweater that is retaining no kind of body heat. Already pre-lit, the Christmas garland is trimmed with small red bows, gold and red ball ornaments and berries to stick out from her neighbors with their assorted colors. It is also pre-strung with 100 red and blue lights that remain lit even if a bulb burns out. As Spencer tries to finish her outside duties as quick as possible, Aria opens a window adjacent to Spencer and pokes her head out.
"How's it coming?" she asks as she leans her body farther out the window, trying to see Spencer's progress.
"Almost done." Spencer unravels the garland from around her neck and follows it on top of her organized hooks, "Just need to hang this up-"
"It's really starting to look like Christmas. Without the snow, unfortunately. Can't you just feel the spirit?" Aria sighs with a smile as she rests her arms underneath her, holding herself up as she leans out the window. She sees a guy jogging with his dog down the sidewalk and gives a friendly wave, feeling extra warm today.
"I feel this tension in my shoulder trying to reach this hook." Spencer replies as she stretches her arm out in attempt to swing the decoration onto the hook on the top of their entry way.
"I feel like a song is coming on...What Christmas selection is up for a duet?" Aria squeezes herself in a hug as she readies her throat for her singing moment, "I really can't stay…"
"Got it." Spencer mumbles to herself as she used the tips of her toes to extend upwards and hook the decoration. She follows the rest of the hooks on downwards back to normal height. Hopping off the ladder and to the bag she had resting on the patio, she digs into the bag and pulls out four, big blue and yellow bows to add as a small additional attachment.
"Spencer, you have to sing along." Aria whines as she feels like Spencer is bringing down her Christmas street duet.
"I'm finished." Spencer warms up her hands as she feels a cold breeze reminding her of what's to come if she continued to stay outside. She bends down and puts together all the things she took out for her mission to get ready to head back inside, "Can you open the door? I have to lounge all this stuff back in."
"Only if you sing with me."
"Aria…" Spencer groans as she dismantles the leader, "I'll sing inside. Open the door."
"No, sing right now." Aria demands as she can hear Spencer sigh to herself, "This is almost like a special moment. I'm inside the house, leaning against the window like a love-struck, young girl as you, my fairytale love, is outside doing work. This moment will be perfect with a song."
"Aria-"
"I really can't stay…" Aria cuts Spencer's plead with the first line of Idina Menzel & Michael Bublé's rendition of the classic holiday song.
"Can you just-"
"I really can't stay…" Aria repeats her part again with more exaggeration and drive behind her voice, telling Spencer that she was serious about the singing.
Spencer lets out a long exhale as she holds the bag in her hands, not wanting to do this right then and there, "…Baby, it's cold outside." she sings with less enthusiasm than Aria started off with.
Aria happily sings the second part of the duet with more elegance and grace as she really feels herself getting into the song, "I've got to go-"
"BABY, IT'S COLD." Spencer bluntly cuts off Aria in midst of her verse, slamming the ladder close as she feels the goosebumps on her arm arise from the windy brisk weather.
…..
"It's the most beautiful time of the year, lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer. I should be playing in the winter snow but I'mma be under the mistletoe."
With remixed Christmas songs by popular artists being played in the background of their living room, Aria belts with her heart's content along with the verse of the melody. Spencer walks into the kitchen where she finds Aria grooving from side to side as she pulls out a hot chocolate mix container from their pantry.
"Are you about to make hot chocolate?"
"Yep." Aria turns her head around to face Spencer for a brief second before she opens a cabinet and pulls out a mug, "Just randomly felt the urge to have some."
"I was about to make the same thing. Get out of my head." Spencer playfully pushes Aria to the side to make her hop to the side unbalanced, causing her to giggle. "Do you mind making mines?"
"Sure. No problem." Aria pulls another mug from the pantry and runs both cups under their mounted PUR faucet filter as Spencer swings open their fridge door and pulls out the gallon of milk. Turning around to face each other after closing the fridge door and turning off the faucet, Aria and Spencer both catches a glimpse of what's in each other's hand and grimaces at the exact same time.
"The fuck?" Spencer comments through her strained face.
"Uhmm?" Aria comments through her squinted and confused eyes. "You use only milk for your hot chocolate?"
"You use only water?!" Spencer shoots back, stunned in disbelief with a mixture of repulsion.
"I think it is too thick when made with only milk. I put half and half: half water and half milk. I've always made them that way." Aria walks over and sets down the two cups in front of the microwave, "It comes out nice and creamy but not too thick." she reaches for door handle to open the microwave when Spencer's hand stops her from operating it.
"Anyone who puts water in their hot chocolate is not a human being but some sort of alien infiltrator and must be fucking captured." Spencer looks down at Aria with furrowed eyebrows that scrutinizes the smaller brunette like a bug, "Who the heck makes hot chocolate with water? Seriously? Trying to make hot chocolate with water is like trying to substitute water for milk in your cereal. That's just sick and disgusting." Aria crosses her arms as she watches Spencer rant on about her life choices, "Milk gives it so much more life with the creamier taste it has. Having it with milk is like there's a party in my mouth and everyone's invited to play naked twister."
Wooow." Aria slowly nods her head to herself with an amazed look and her mouth hanging unexpectedly, "I wanna know what kind of milk you're using that invites everyone for naked twister."
"I'll make my own hot chocolate." Spencer grabs one of the mugs Aria had filled with water, drinks it instead of wasting it down the drain and cracks open the gallon of milk she had resting on the counter besides her, "You can make hot Yoohoo for yourself. I refused to be poisoned by an abomination of watery, bland hot chocolate. How dare you?"
…..
Changing up from Christmas jingles to light-hearted pop music at a soft volume, Spencer sits on their loveseat sofa as she pulls out each stocking and filled them accordingly with various small gifts in each. "I think we shouldn't decorate the tree until tomorrow when everyone's here so everyone could add their little touches." Spencer calls out in a suggestion to wondering Aria wherever she may be.
"So, I got some of the decorations ready to be hanged…" Aria's voice floats from above Spencer as Spencer's eyes are casted down on her lap. The working brunette nods her head while she mentally decided want should be put in which stocking when she noticed that Aria still stood in front of her, waiting to be acknowledged. Spencer eyes drift up to Aria before she does a double take to what she had in her hands. "I got our mistletoe!" Aria elatedly gushes with a small bounce as she hangs the ornament in between her and Spencer with her eyes puckered out and eyes closed, awaiting a kiss.
Spencer shakes her head with her eyes narrowed in amazement as she looked up at the decoration in Aria's grasp. "A mistletoe….You made a missile-toe, Aria?"
Aria breaks her lips with a laugh as she stands up straight, admiring her creation of a drawn toe turned missile with a string around it, ready to be hung in a nearby doorway. "Perfect adaptation, in my opinion. Oh! And I got something for our door." Aria pulls her other decoration from behind her back and presents it to Spencer, proudly.
Spencer blinks dumbfounded in silence at Aria's creation of a wreath covered front and back of multiple pictures of the legendary soul singer, Aretha Franklin's face. "Aretha Franklin…?"
"Aretha Franklin!" Aria jumps up and down in complete tickles of her pun, "Get it? Aretha…A-wreath-a." she shakes the wreath out in front of her, "A-wreatha Franklins!"
"First watery hot chocolate now this?" Spencer drops the stocking and gifts she had in her hand and points her finger towards the door, "Get the hell out of my house, Aria."
…..
After hours of decorating, with the night sky among them, the lit, holiday-filled house finally comes together in means of the public areas such as in the living room, sitting area, kitchen and the first floor hallway. Spencer shuffles down the stairs of her now quiet home and walks through the lower level as if this was her first time entering, trying to observe the decorations through new eyes to see if everything looks presentable and clean. Taking pride in the job she and Aria did, Spencer finds Aria standing in front of their unlit fireplace, staring at not only the small details of their embellishments but their framed pictures of them together as she takes the sight in front of her all in. Their Christmas holidays in the past have been rough for them so to see a flourished home with lights and décor just reminds her of the struggle they went through to make this possible.
"One day….One year we're going to get out of this. We're going to get out of this dump and have our own place." Spencer whispers into Aria's neck as she cuddles her from behind, laying on their bed together during the late, noisy night of the Philadelphia city spewing from the opposite side of their window, "No more staying in small rooms with other roommates. It's just going to be you, me, and all the space we want. I'm going to get a better position at a better firm and you're going to be happy and succeed through your arts and we're going to get out of here."
"We're going to have our own home?" Aria replies back lightly as she plays with Spencer's fingers, enjoying the warmth of her body behind her's underneath the cool sheets. Aria loved when she and Spencer talked about their future and what they're going to do. It paints a small ray of sunshine within the dark abyss of the situation they have been facing for months on end.
"Yep. And not just any place. It's gonna be a two story house with a big master bedroom and a nice master bathroom to match. It'll have a spacious kitchen for all our home-cooked dinners and we'll even have a little area for you to be inspired and create things." Spencer nuzzles her nose against the side of Aria's neck, making the small brunette softly giggle as she interlocked her fingers with Spencer's.
"We should have three bedrooms. Just so when family comes over, we'll have room for them."
"Exactly. We'll even host parties and spend the holidays with our families."
"Like Christmas." Aria smiles to herself in thought, "I've always wanted to host some sort of Christmas weekend. Invite everyone. My side and yours and just have this huge Montgomery-Hastings celebration."
"And we will. I promise." Spencer squeezes her, "The moment we sign for our first house, we're going to host our very first Christmas party." Spencer uses her free hand stroking Aria's leg underneath the covers to reach up and smoothing a strand of Aria's back behind her ears, placing a sweet kiss below her earlobe, "And you can decorate the house anyway you want it." Aria feels her heart fluttering in only a way Spencer can. A warm, calming sensation melts over Aria's body from not only Spencer's kiss but from her words. Being that it was pillow-talk, Aria felt nothing but reality and sincerity behind them. She knows that whatever they're talking about will happen in the future if they continue to work hard at it. That realization makes Aria feel like home. She takes their interlocked finger and kisses the back of Spencer's hand before resting it against her chest.
"I love you, Spencer."
Spencer's heart warms as she smiles at Aria's sentiment, giving her another kiss on her neck, "I love you too, Aria. Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas."
A wrap from Spencer's arms around her waist startles Aria for a second before she relaxes in Spencer's hold as the taller brunette's warm body pressed against her back.
"Just checked everything and it all looks specular and very festive." Spencer whispers into Aria's ear as she lightly sways her from side to side. Aria tilts her head, bolding Spencer's hands as she follows Spencer's rocking motion. Standing quietly in each other's embrace, Spencer leans more into Aria, kissing the side of her neck as her fingers crept their way into sensitive territories like the brim of Aria's shirt, lifting it to feel her skin underneath.
"Hmm…What are you doing?" Aria lazily asks with her eyes closing although she knew exactly what was going on.
"Well...everyone is coming in tomorrow..." Spencer whispers lightly along with the soft kisses she places on various places on Aria's neck, "and this house is going to be filled with people in every corner...that means that we won't have any alone time..."
"Alone time?" Aria eyebrow arches with mischief.
"Don't you want alone time with me?" Spencer voice drops to a lower, hungrier tone as her fingers traces mindless shapes on Aria's stomach, slowly teetering towards the waistband of Aria's pants, "Hmm? Don't you want me to treat you to some...holiday spirit?"
Aria breaks Spencer's hold and spins around in her arms. Looking at devious and shameless demeanor of Spencer face to face, she wraps her arms around her neck as Spencer rests her hands on the small of Aria's back, "What kind of holiday spirit are we taking about?"
"The kind you would want in you right about now." Spencer smirks with her lowered eyes, almost as if all her dirty thoughts and implications have caused a weight to Spencer's eyelids, trying to hide the predatory look that's slowly making a way onto Spencer's face.
Aria clicks her tongue, narrowing her eyes at the brunette, "You're sounding like you're borderline wavering on the naughty list, Spencer."
"Oh, I've been on the naught list." Spencer lowers her face downward to lean for Aria's, "And I want you to come over with me." On beat, Spencer and Aria share the same movement as Aria reached up for her and caught Spencer's lips. Spencer pushed her tongue gently into her mouth, and with little option, Aria responded likewise. Spencer's kiss was soft but purposeful and Aria let her direct the kiss at her pace as she lightly grazed her fingers through the back of Spencer's hair. Throughout, Spencer's hands had never stopped exploring and caressing the small of Aria's back. Her fingers were gliding all over her, feeling, touching, and stroking. As if this was their first time, Aria's whole body was alive with sensitivity withanticipation. As Spencer's lips got caught on the bottom of Aria's, her arms wrapped around the smaller brunette's body without any second thought and lifted her up, immediately causing Aria to respond with her legs wrapped above Spencer's hips and her body pressed more into her as their kisses grew more passionate and hungrier. Using her sense of direction as Aria cupped her face and directed her tongue to slide against Spencer's, Spencer walks out of their sitting area and flicks the light switch off, causing the whole place to light up from the decorations through the darkness of the first floor. Spencer continues on with her journey, holding Aria tight as they proceed to walk upstairs to their large master bedroom.
