Hanna let her hands slide down into Spencer's and she squeezed both of them before letting one go and pulling her girlfriend out of her room. They were at the top of the stairs when Spencer squeezed Hanna's hand and then dropped it before running back into her room to grab her purse and phone.
She picked up Hanna's hand once more and then led them downstairs and to Spencer's Highlander. Spencer opened the passenger side door for Hanna and leaned in to kiss her cheek before she slid into the seat. The brunette softly closed the door and then made her way to the other side of the car, eventually starting up the car and heading into Philadelphia for their date.
Hanna and Spencer made it into Philadelphia about an hour later and immediately found parking outside of the restaurant they were going to. Spencer took the keys out of the ignition and made her way to the passenger side door so she could open it for her beautiful girlfriend.
She took Hanna's hand and helped her out of the car and closed the door. She locked the car, put her keys in her bag and then slid her hand down Hanna's arm and into her hand. The only time she dropped her girlfriend's hand was when she opened the door for her and followed her inside.
They were sitting at the table in The Grove, an extremely good, romantic restaurant when Spencer's phone started pinging, interrupting their conversation.
"You gonna check that, Spence?" The blonde asked quietly, partially hoping that she wouldn't.
"No, it can wait." She dismissed the phone quickly, reaching her leg out to rest against Hanna's under the table.
"Are you sure?"
"I am on a date with my gorgeous girlfriend. Trust me, my phone can wait."
"Aw, Spence, you're so sweet." Hanna said lovingly as she started to reach across the table to squeeze her girlfriend's hand.
"Shit." She interrupted, sitting up even straighter if that were possible, as Hanna just looked at her strangely, not sure what was going on.
"Melissa." Was all the brunette managed to say as she watched her older sister walk towards her table.
"Spencer, what are you doing here?" Melissa asked, seeming partially happy to see her sister having some fun.
"Well, Dad and Mom always talk about this place, so we decided to come check it out."
"Oh, yeah. Well, it's a great place." Melissa concurred. "So where are Emily and Aria?" She asked suspiciously.
"They were supposed to meet us here, but Em is hanging out with her girlfriend and Aria just said something came up, so it's just me and Hanna." Spencer lied smoothly as she looked at Melissa.
"Oh, okay. Well have a nice night, enjoy the food."
"Thanks, Melissa. I'll see you later."
"Okay, bye Spence, Hanna." She finally said, nodding in Hanna's direction and offering a small smile.
Spencer watched her leave out the front door and get into a car that she had never seen before.
"Who was she with?" Hanna asked as soon as Melissa opened the car door.
"I have no idea? Ian maybe? I'm not sure, it's too dark to see."
"Did you know that she was going to be here?" Hanna asked.
"Of course not! I thought she was still in the barn back home, I had no idea that she was even in Philly."
"Oh, well whatever."
Hanna and Spencer had just received their food when Spencer's phone started to ring and she scrambled to silence it.
"Who is it?" Hanna asked before she took a sip of water.
"Aria." Spencer answered as she hit silence and shoved the phone back into her bag.
"She's probably just making sure that you got out to do something fun tonight."
"Well lucky for her, I managed to do just that." Spencer winked at the gorgeous blonde sitting in front of her.
"I'm really glad that we got to do this, Spence." Hanna added, finally managing to reach across and squeeze Spencer's hand.
"Me too." Spencer squeezed back before Hanna pulled her hand back and picked up her water glass.
"So are you going to sleep over tonight?" Spencer asked as they waited for their dessert to be delivered.
"You know for a genius, you can ask some stupid questions." Hanna answered as she stared at Spencer with a familiar glint in her eyes.
"You're right, that was a stupid question. Of course you're not sleeping over." Spencer joked as she looked into Hanna's eyes.
"You are just so funny." Hanna said slowly as she looked up at Spencer with a smile on her face.
"Hey baby, do you have any hen weighs?" Spencer asked innocently as she watched confusion flash over her girlfriend's face.
"What's a hen weigh?"
"Oh, about 3 pounds." Spencer answered knowingly as she looked up to meet her girlfriend's eyes, which were shining with laughter.
Hanna and Spencer giggled for another 30 seconds before Hanna stopped and looked lovingly into Spencer's eyes.
"You are such a dork, but I love you so much."
"I love you, too. More than anything."
"Please, even more than books?" Hanna asked skeptically.
"Hell yeah, I love you more than books and I also love you more than I love getting A's on tests." The brunette smirked at her girlfriend, who was now smiling brightly.
Hanna and Spencer walked around the streets of Philadelphia for a while, enjoying the company and the beautiful night sky before making it into Spencer's car.
Spencer checked her phone before she started the car. She had a missed call and voicemail from Aria, which she listened to on speaker, both she and Hanna laughing at Aria practically begging Spencer to take a study break.
Spencer cringed slightly when she noticed that she also had an unopened text message from an unknown sender.
She held her breath and opened the message, Hanna completely oblivious to what she was doing since she checking her own messages.
Having fun on your date with a certain blonde? I'll give you this; you two certainly look adorable together. Too bad it won't last, especially once the other girls find out. Good luck explaining that one!
Tick tock, time is running out.
-A
Spencer let out a breath and a groan at the same time, which Hanna noticed. Spencer handed over her phone to the blonde and then started the car and headed back to the freeway.
"Hey, Han?"
"Yeah?"
"What time was that message sent?"
"7:19pm. Why?"
"Well I didn't see anyone we know, so was 'A' just lurking outside in the bushes or something?"
"Okay, don't get mad."
"Why would I get mad?" Spencer questioned as she took her eyes off of the road to look at Hanna.
"Melissa was there tonight, in the restaurant. And we all know that she hated Ali."
"No. No, there's no way that she has anything to do with this, Hanna."
"Well she's also dating Ian and there is significant proof against him and I'm guessing that Melissa at least knows something or is involved."
"No, she wouldn't do that to me, Hanna." Spencer said quickly, becoming angrier as the conversation progressed.
"Well it's not like she's going to be winning a 'sister of the year' award, Spencer! She treats you like shit, so why wouldn't she be 'A,' she is obviously not looking out for you." Hanna fought back, having always hated the way that the Hastings sisters treated each other.
"We used to be really close and we used to have each other's backs, Han. She wouldn't do this to me, or our family." Spencer answered adamantly.
"Used to, Spencer, you guys used to have each other's backs. She doesn't have yours anymore, but I do. I know that she is your sister and you want to protect her, and I love you for that, but I also want you to be safe and taken care of."
"Can we just not talk about this anymore, please?"
"Fine, whatever."
The car was silent for the rest of the way back to Rosewood, Hanna had turned on the radio, but neither one was listening to it, they were busy thinking about the possibility of Melissa being 'A.'
They pulled into Spencer's driveway and both got out quietly and Hanna started heading for her car.
"Han?" Spencer questioned.
"Yeah, I'm just gonna take off. Thanks for dinner, Spence." Hanna unlocked her car and got in it, starting it up right as Spencer jumped into the passenger seat.
"I thought about it a lot on the ride back and you're right. It was really suspicious timing and there is a possibility of it being true, and I hate that. I don't want to believe that my sister would treat us all like that. However, I promise to look into it further, okay? I'm sorry I lost my temper."
"It's okay, Spence, I get it. I don't want it to be Melissa either, I just think it's something we should look into."
"You're right, and we will. Tomorrow. But for now, how about we go up to my room and go to sleep? I really don't want to ruin our night, we were having such a good time."
"Well, I guess I'll go upstairs and spend the night in your bed with you. What a hardship." Hanna joked as she looked up to meet Spencer's pleading eyes.
"Thank you."
With that, Hanna and Spencer hopped out of Hanna's car and started walking up the pathway to the Hastings's back door, Hanna grabbing Spencer's hand when they were halfway to the dark house.
"Thank you for staying with me tonight even though we got into that fight. I hate being alone here, and I love being with you."
"Hey, it was just a slight disagreement for starters and I love being with you too." Hanna answered as she leaned across Spencer to turn off her lamp, leaving a kiss on her lips along the way.
Hanna curled up into Spencer, who was lying on her back, and rested her head in the crook of her girlfriend's neck. She planted a kiss on the brunette's neck before relaxing and sighing happily. Spencer caressed Hanna's hip while she left a kiss on the blonde's forehead.
"I love you, and I had a great time tonight."
"I love you too, Han. And tonight was awesome."
"So where are Aria and Emily tonight?" Spencer asked Hanna as she popped The Notebook into the DVD player.
"You really don't know?" The blonde asked incredulously since they had asked everyone about their plans at lunch that day.
"Well I heard them both start out with 'I have plans' so I stopped listening and started thinking about what we could do."
Hanna chuckled at Spencer's comment and proceeded to tell her what their other friends were doing.
"Aria is with Fitz, Emily is with Maya, and I am with you. Everyone is in their coupledom, as it should be on a Friday night."
"I completely agree with that statement. Which is also why I am happy to say that we have the house to ourselves tonight."
"Really? I feel like we haven't had the house to ourselves in forever."
"I know and this is certainly something I can get on board with." Spencer had long since sat down next to Hanna and wrapped her arm around her shoulder.
"How about I grab us some ice cream?" Hanna leaned in closer to Spencer and waited for the brunette to turn her head towards her before she leaned forward even more to kiss her sweetly on the lips.
"Sounds great. I got your favorite kind earlier today; it's in the freezer. I'll come help you." Spencer decided as she watched Hanna get up.
"Spence, you look exhausted, why don't you just stay here and I'll get the ice cream for us."
"That'd be great, Han. I had a rough practice earlier."
Spencer was so enraptured by the movie that was playing that she didn't even hear Hanna come back into the living room. Hanna quickly walked over to her and straddled her on the couch and began to kiss her slowly and passionately, causing a strangled moan to leave Spencer's mouth.
Hanna reached up and pulled all of the brunette's hair into a messy ponytail, their lips not leaving each other's once.
Spencer didn't even notice when Hanna started shaking something in her hand, but she groaned when Hanna pulled back, disappointed by the lack of her girlfriend's lips on her own.
The disappointment didn't last long though, since Hanna squeezed a line of chocolate sauce down the left side of Spencer's neck and leaned in, immediately sucking and licking her neck, cleaning the chocolate sauce off. She smiled as Spencer threw her head to the side and moaned, grabbing ahold of Hanna's hips.
Once she was done with that she placed a line of whipped cream down the right side of the brunette's neck and slowly dragged her tongue over the whipped cream and sucked lightly on the brunette's pulse point.
After that, she looked into Spencer's lust and love filled eyes and started unbuttoning her shirt as Spencer leaned forward and started sucking on Hanna's neck and then placed a kiss behind her ear.
Once Spencer's plaid shirt and bra were on the ground, the hungry blonde pulled her down so she was laying on the couch before she squirted a line of chocolate sauce and whipped cream down her girlfriend's chest, all the way to the top of her jeans.
"They didn't call me Hefty Hanna for nothing. I sure do know how to eat." Hanna smirked and started squirting more chocolate sauce in between Spencer's breasts while Spencer undid the zipper and slid her hands under Hanna's dress, pulling it over the blonde's head.
Hanna woke up slowly, and looked around the room, noticing that the blinds were open and sun was shining into the room and onto her gorgeous girlfriend's face.
They were still wrapped up together, the closeness that they loved and didn't get to have while in the presence of anyone else.
"It was only a dream? Damn." Hanna sighed disappointedly as Spencer peeked out one eye and was met by Hanna's disappointed face, which changed quickly once Spencer leaned forward to give her a kiss.
