AN: Hey guys! First off, I'm gonna apologize that this is super short. Post vacation is rough; I don't have much spare time and i wanted to get this out to you. Good news is I should get another chapter posted before the weekend is over! This chapter sets me up for the rest of the story and we will start surging forward from here;)
Next thing: This story is rated M for a reason. I don't like putting a warning in the an because it takes away from the story; i hate spoilers. So if you would like a warning pm me and I'll send you a pm right after i upload the chapter. We still have a ways to go though..i just like it to be unexpected.
Lastly: Tell me what you think. Is it confusing?As of right now, I'm only doing a once over after writing to fix big mistakes because i'm short on time, so it might not make sense haha. Also, what do you want to see happen? I take all suggestions with serious thought:)
Anywho, enjoy! :P
Emily cringed at the sound of Hanna yelling up to her.
"Em! You're going to be late for your play-date" She mocked. Puffing, Emily argued right back. She wasn't in the mood to go meet Arias friend, a.k.a. Toby's fiancé. In fact, she was rather nervous, and Hanna's teasing wasn't helping at all. She bit her nail trying to find something to wear. She picked out casual blue jeans and a sweater and trudged down the stairs.
"You're coming." She declared. Hanna wined and put on her puppy face. She received a glare and sighed, picked up the car keys and got in the car.
Spencer pulled into the coffee shop parking lot right next to Arias car. She glanced over and saw her fiddling with her phone, still in her car. She got out and let herself into Arias passenger seat.
"Ready?" She asked Aria. She raised an eyebrow and looked around the parking lot. "Do you know if they're here?"
Aria took a look at the surrounding cars. She settled on a black civic.
"I think that's hers" She nodded in its direction. They got out and briskly walked through the shops doors. They each ordered a coffee and Aria searched for Emily and Hanna. Upon seeing them, she hooked her arm in Spencer's and led her over to the corner table.
Spencer looked between Emily and Hanna and gave a soft smile. Which one is which? She focused on the brunette. She had on a soft pink sweater that complimented her deep olive skin, and it popped against her raven hair. The girl smirked, and Spencer blinked before introducing herself. She sat across from Emily and looked at Hanna. She was pretty, but not as striking as the brunette.
"I'm Emily" Emily smiled and held her hand out to Spencer. "Congrats on getting engaged."
The corners of Spencer's mouth curled up.
"Thank you!" She gushed. The thought of getting married always made her giddy. "And it's nice to meet you, Toby has talked a lot about you."
Emily raised her eyebrows slightly, and decided to ignore the statement. She looked over at Hanna and nudged her. "This is Hanna". Hanna offered her hand.
Emily took a moment to take Spencer in. She seems nice, not so uptight as Aria had said. She was tall, around the same height as herself. Her chestnut brown hair was thin as were her lips. She noticed how she could seem tough if she tightened her lips and furrowed her 'brows together. Dark eyes looked right back at her, almost skeptical, like she was inspecting Emily as well. She could see how Toby was attracted to her.
"So what do you do?"
Spencer looked down at her coffee and replied, "I am currently studying law. My parents are both in the business and I'm gaining experience with them."
Hanna didn't need much to be impressed; Spencer fit the image of a lawyer. She picked at her nails when Emily started talking again.
"Wow, should I be careful?" She joked.
"I may need a lawyer at some point, so I consider this a blessing." Hanna nodded at Spencer. "Study-up, girl." She smirked and shared a laugh with the girls.
"What do you two do?" Spencer exchanged glances between Emily and Hanna.
"I'm working part-time at the library, and I help coach swimming; but, I don't really know what I want to do with the rest of my life." Her voice hinted that she lacked confidence.
"What did you study?" Spencer poked.
"Business." Spencer nodded and pushed her mouth to one side of her face, thinking. Emily chuckled at her and returned the attention to Hanna.
"Oh, I'm waitressing right now, but I hope to get into sales." She studied Emily, she seemed a little uneasy. Emily caught her stare and gave a reassuring smile.
The four of them talked for an hour before Spencer stood up.
"I'm sorry, but I have to get going." She placed a hand on Emily's shoulder and looked at Hanna. "It was nice meeting the both of you. We need to do this again, I feel like I still don't know you." She quickly kissed Arias head and walked out, waving her hand on the way.
"I guess it's that time, I'll be heading out as well."
"Oh no you won't, not without me!" Hanna protested. "I still have coffee left.
"Chug it" Emily laughed.
"See you guys later, call me." Aria held her hand up to her ear as a fake phone.
