Hot Water
Spencer was in her house. Crawled on the couch since morning. Someone knocked the door. Spencer ignored it. He knocked again. Spencer got up and went to the door and opened it.
"Wren!?"
"Spencer... I wanted to talk to you!"
"Yeah, me too..."
They walked towards the living room. Wren looked around.
"Blanket and pillow on the couch, tissues, "the notebook"... Did you stayed here all day?"
Spencer nodded yes.
"Spencer..."
"Actually Wren, I wanted to apologize... For using you to take me to Mona..."
"Spencer, I wasn't completely honest too. I heard you and the carpenter, Toby, broke up, so, I thought I would have some chances now..."
Wren looked at his watch.
"It's 8 o'clock. We can go for dinner... It would be good for you if you got out of the house..."
"Ok..."
Wren smiled
...
After dinner...
"Thanks, Wren! You were right, getting out helped a bit..."
"Goodnight, Spencer..."
"Goodnight, Wren..."
Wren tried to kiss Spencer, but she backed off.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't push you..."
Spencer rushed and kissed him. When their lips got separated Wren stroke her face.
"Take me home with you. I can't stand being alone on that couch again."
Wren kissed her again.
...
Later at Wren apartment...
"Want something to drink?"
"Something strong..."
Wren sat on the couch near Spencer and gave her a glass of tequila.
They both took a long sip.
"Can I ask why you broke up? I mean he might have done something awfully bad for you to be like that..."
"Can we not talk about that?!" Said Spencer and emptied her glass
"Sure..." Wren said and took an other long sip.
"Wren?"
"Yes, Spencer..."
"Why do you like me that much?"
"Because you are an amazing person. You are smart, polite, beautiful..."
"I am not that good..."
"Of course you are..."
Wren took Spencer to sit to his lap and they started making out. Wren started sliding his hand on Spencer's back and put his hands under her shirt. He took it out. Spencer was just wearing her bra. He kissed her neck a couple of times and then, he let Spencer take out his shirt. Spencer glided her hands on his abs. In five minutes, they were just in their underwear.
"Spencer, are you sure?"
Spencer looked down
"I don't know..."
Wren gave her a bitter smile
"You are doing this as a reaction to your break up. You will regret that."
"Wren, I..."
He stroke her face.
"I am sorry... I can't do this, not today..."
"I understand..."
"Can I still stay here?"
"Yes, I will sleep on the couch..."
"You don't have to..."
"It will be more comfortable for both of us..."
"I will go for a shower..." Said and got up.
Spencer went in the bathroom, where she got totally naked. She let the water run and got in.
She heard steps coming towards her
"Wren?"
A shadow was shaped on the shower's curtain.
"Wren, is that you" said with a tremble
The curtain opened. Spencer hid her naked wet body behind it.
A guy in a black sweater and hoodie stepped in.
"Toby?"
He let his hoodie fall and showed his face.
"Toby..." Tears fell
"I love you Spencer! I will always love you..."
He closed the curtain and disappeared. Spencer winked
"Spencer? Are you done?"
"Yes, Wren... I will be out in a sec..."
She got out and wore a towel. Was it her imagination or was it real?
She wore her clothes and went to the living room.
"Hey..." Said Wren and tried to kiss her
"I must go. I got a text from Melissa and I have to go now..."
"Ok... Did you already regretted this?"
"Wren, I will be honest. I regretted doing this now. Without being sure. I regretted hurting you..."
"Spencer, I will always love you and wait for you..."
"Don't! Continue your life... Please..."
"I can't stop hoping!"
"You must, eventually..."
"Spencer..."
"Goodbye Wren!" Said and gave him a goodbye kiss in his lips
...
In Spencer's house...
Spencer crawled in her bed and started thinking about Toby's visit. Was there really hope? Or was it just her hoping that there would be more of the story?
