A/N: Thank you everyone for your support so far. I'm trying to balance two stories at once, which is extremely hard, but I'll get it together. :)

Chapter 4: What to Do

September 10, 2012

Aria's POV

I stared at my history textbook blankly. That kiss Spencer and I shared blind-sided me. After the first kiss, I thought it'd be simple to move on. That kiss led to the one last Friday, and here I am.

"You okay, Ar?" Emily asked. I shook my head, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Huh, what?"

"Are you okay?" she asked again.

"Yeah," I answered absent-mindedly.

To be honest, I wasn't sure what or who I was, for that matter. I love Spencer. At least I think I do.

"You seem distracted," Emily said probing.

I sighed, "Okay. Okay. Remember that kiss Spencer and I were dared to do?"

"Yeah. But Aria, that was two years ago."

"I know. But it changed a lot for me."

"It wasn't just a dare to you, huh?"

"At first it was. But when our lips met, it became more. Then we ended up kissing on Friday..."

"Wait! What?! You two kissed, again?!" I nodded.

"What are you going to do? What about Ezra and Toby?"

I sighed again. I still had yet to decide.

"I honestly don't know. I love Ezra. I do. But I love Spencer too."

"If I were you, I'd talk to Ezra. Maybe that'll help."

"What do I do if I go for Spencer? How can I come out to my parents?"

"Remember, my mom found the pictures of me and Maya."

"Yeah. I don't want that to happen. It's bad enough they're still dealing with me being with Ezra."

"Best advice I can give is to make sure you know what you're going to do. Then tell your parents. They may actually be relieved."

I pretended to be offended and threw a pillow at her. She was right though. I had to make some decisions and make up my mind.

Spencer's POV

Since Aria and Emily were studying for a history test, Hanna and I decided to hang out. Currently, Hanna was looking at the latest issues of Vogue while I thought about Aria.

"Earth to Spencer," Hanna said bringing me out of my thoughts immediately.

"What's going on?"

"I was trying to show you this Vera Wang dress, but you seem to have other things on your mind."

I sighed, " I'm sorry, Han."

"You're fine. What's on your mind?"

"It's complicated," I told her. It honestly was. I loved Toby. He's a great guy and he keeps me calm, well, for the most part. Then there was Aria. She was sweet and adorable. Every time I looked at her, I melted. All she had to do was smile and I would be hers.

"Uncomplicate it." She was asking me to do something that made my AP classes seem easy. How could I make the fact that I was in love with one of my best friends while having an amazing boyfriend less complicated? Yeah, Like I could do that.

"Remember that kiss you dared me and Aria to do?"

"Yeah, but Spence, that was a long time..."

She thought about it for a moment. Her eyes grew wide as the realization set in, "OMG!"

She gasped.

"You like Aria!"

I looked down at my bed sheets, "Yeah."

"Holy shit! This is huge! You gotta tell her!"

"I...did," I said reluctantly.

Hanna nearly jumped off my bed, "When did you do it? What happened?"

"Han, slow down. We talked on Friday after I asked you and Em if you saw her. I started to tell her, but then Ezra called her."

She looked at me with her brow furrowed, "I thought you said you talked to her."

"We met up at my house and then I told her the rest. I told her that I loved her and that I couldn't get her off my mind. Then I kissed her."

Hanna's eyes near popped out of her skull, "You two kissed, AGAIN?!"

I sighed as I ran my fingers through my knotted hair, "Yes."

"What are you going to do?"

Damn. Another hard question.

"I-I-I don't know."

"Spence! You're going to have to figure out something," she pulled her phone out of her pocket, "you two need to figure something out, now."

"Wha-what are you doing?" I was nervous. Whatever she had in mind scared me.

"I'm getting Aria over here. You two need to get this settled."

Before I could even protest, Hanna had Aria on the phone. As soon as she was done she came over to me with a huge smile on her face.

"Aria and Em will be over in like five minutes."

Five minutes later Emily and Aria were at my house. I paced the floor, almost building trenches in my carpeting.

"Spence, relax," Hanna tried to tell me.

"How can I relax at a time like this?!"

"You and Aria will get all of this straightened out and then go from there."

She made it seem so simple. I wish it was that simple. Before long, Aria, Emily, Hanna, and I were in my room. We all sat in silence.

"One of you has to talk to start a conversation," Emily stated. Aria and I shot her a look.

"Look, You like Aria," Hanna said.

"And Aria likes you," Emily stated.

"It would be easier to talk about this if we had a moment alone," Aria said, trying to hint for them to leave. Emily got up and started walking towards the hallway. She turned to see Hanna was still sitting on the bed. She grabbed her hand, "Let's go." Hanna whined as they left the room.

Aria's POV

"When Ezra called on Friday, did you call him back?" Spencer asked as soon as the door shut.

"No. I sent him a text saying I was busy and that I wouldn't be able to talk much this weekend and upcoming week." In reality, I wasn't going to be busy. I needed to clear my mind before talking to him. I knew if I tried, I'd blurt out that I kissed Spencer and it would get ugly from there.

"I haven't really talked to Toby much either. Luckily he's doing a job in Philly."

Silence filled the room again. I wanted to bad to kiss her and hold her. The fact we were in such a close space together was driving me crazy.

"Look, Spence. I don't know what to do. I love Ezra, but I love you too."

The corners of her mouth extended well up to her cheeks. Her smile was so beautiful. She was beautiful. Perfection for her did not only stop at her many talents and school work. From her hair to her clothes, she was exquisite.

"You know I love you. We got to do something. We can't pretend like this is nothing."

"Well, we have to talk to Toby and Ezra. It needs to be done soon. The thing is, I don't know if I can." She scooted in as close as she could. She placed a loose strand of my hair behind my ear. With hesitation or warning our lips were on each others. This kiss was more passionate. I soon climbed on top of her, straddling her.

"We. Should. Stop." she said between kisses.

"Yeah." For a moment be broke apart and paused. As if gravity was taking over my head, I bent down and kissed her again.

"Are you guys..." Hanna said before gasping. We broke apart.

"Have you heard of knocking?" Spencer said as she rearranged herself.

Hanna stood there and smiled.

"If I had, I would have missed this."

"Where-where's Em?" I asked.

"She's in the kitchen. She sent me to see how things were going. Obviously, they're going really good. I'll let you two go back to what you were doing," Hanna said with a wink before leaving and closing the door.

I sighed in frustration, "We got to work this out, and fast."

A/N: I hoped you enjoyed this! :) Please continue to read and review. :)
