I know, I suck! I'm sorry for taking so long to post chapters on all of my stories, but school is getting all of my time and energy, unfortunately. I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I'm trying my best to update as often as I can!
The next day at lunch, Hanna pulled out a piece of paper and cleared her throat, successfully getting everyone to stop and look at her with smirks firmly planted on their faces.
"Oh, no. Is that the infamous list?" Maya asked from next to Emily, who squeezed Maya's hand under the table.
"You know about her summer list?" Aria asked, chuckling.
"Yeah, she was texting Emily about it yesterday." Maya answered.
"Yeah, she had to ask me about things that she's always wanted to do."
"You had to ask her for help? On your list?" Aria asked, laughing.
"Do I remember every single thing that I say I want to do? No." Hanna answered, getting an eye roll from Spencer.
"And you expect us to remember everything you say?"
"It'd be nice, yeah." She answered, without even thinking about it, earning more eye rolls from everyone else.
"Moving on. So, the list?" Spencer asked as she made eye contact with the blonde.
"Oh, yeah. Volunteer with pocket dogs at the animal shelter, which you all know already. Learn a language, I'm thinking French."
"Why French?" Aria asked, interrupting.
"Why not? Plus, it sounds really sexy. Next, go hiking somewhere gorgeous." She added, as Emily snorted and Maya started giggling.
"You? Hiking?" Aria finally asked.
"I could like hiking." She retorted.
"Doubtful, but possible." Spencer added.
"Thanks for the support, guys. Now I'll definitely have to go hiking."
"I'd pay to see that." Emily joked.
"Perfect, then I can go shopping once you pay me." Hanna winked at her best friend.
"Okay, next thing on the list?" Aria asked, thoroughly enjoying Hanna's list.
"Have sex in a different country." She answered without even blinking.
"You're going to accomplish that this summer?" Aria asked the blonde skeptically.
"That's why it's on the list. I'm trying to make it happen as we speak."
"Okay, where and with who?" Emily asked as Maya smirked into her girlfriend's shoulder.
"I don't know, like Africa would be cool."
"That's a continent, Han. Not a country." Spencer blurted out while shaking her head.
"Fine, just as well, I'm assuming there aren't many great places to shop there anyways. Then, I've always wanted to go to Spain. And I've got my eye on someone special to go with."
"Really? We want details!" Aria and Emily both leaned forward.
"It's a secret for now, but I think I'll be letting you all in on it in a few days."
"Why so secretive, Hanna?" Maya asked out of pure curiousness.
"Because I think we could be the real deal, and I don't want to screw it up."
"More of a real deal than Caleb?" Emily asked.
"Oh hell yes, without a doubt; I only thought that was the real deal. I'm 1000% sure that this is the real thing. You will find out soon. Moving on..." She winked at Spencer discreetly and moved onto the next item on her list.
Later that afternoon, Hanna and Spencer were sitting in the café, relaxing together. They were both sitting next to each other on the couch, sitting as closely together as they could, without people getting suspicious.
"Two truths and a lie. Go." Spencer said all of the sudden, breaking Hanna out of her daydream.
"I've always wanted to learn how to ride a horse, I've always wanted a tattoo, and I've always loved old movies. Which one is the lie?" She responded quickly, without faltering.
"You've always wanted a tattoo." As soon as Spencer answered that, Hanna started to slightly pout.
"How did you guess that?"
"I told you, I know tell when you're lying. Your gorgeous eyes deceive you. So you really never want a tattoo?"
"No. Needles? No, thanks. No one is sticking a needle in my arm unless I'm unconscious and dying."
"Han." Spencer said, partly shocked that her girlfriend just said that.
"What? It's just a figure of speech." The blonde answered. "Honestly, Spence, don't worry, I'll be fine! Nothing is going to happen to me!"
"It better not." Was all Spencer said before she took a sip of her coffee, not wanting to think about Hanna getting hurt, ever.
Hanna and Spencer continued to lay back and relax on the couch in the café; slowly sipping their drink while Emily was working. They had decided to go keep her company when she was on her breaks.
"Oh, did you by any chance see my navy blue blazer at your place?" Spencer finally remembered to ask after checking everywhere she could possibly think of.
"I may or may not have stolen it from your bag the other night." The blonde answered, not looking guilty at all.
"And why would that be, Miss Marin?" Spencer smirked before she looked at her girlfriend again.
"Because it smells like you and I thought that maybe I'd pair it with a cute dress or something next week. Or on Friday. Are you going to make me give it back to you?"
"No, I think that's adorable that you want to wear something of mine, but all you have to do is ask. You can have whatever you want from my closet." The brunette smiled happily and leaned over, their shoulders bumping slightly.
"Really?" Hanna eyed her girlfriend suspiciously.
"Ask and ye shall receive." She answered before taking another sip of her coffee.
"Thanks, babe." Hanna set her hand down in between them, on the couch, smiling when Spencer placed her hand into Hanna's upturned palm.
"Anytime."
"Oh, you're such a softy now, I love it. And one more thing, don't say 'ye' ever again. I'm dating a 17 year old, not someone from the 1700s."
"Got it, no more 'ye.'" She smiled, squeezing Hanna's hand before releasing it quickly as she spied Emily walking over.
Once Friday rolled around, Spencer was walking around on edge, practically sweating bullets.
"Spence, you okay?" Her much shorter best friend asked her as the she walked over to Aria's locker.
"Yeah, I'm good. Just not feeling too great."
"I'm sorry, Spence. You know, we can cancel our dinner and sleepover tonight."
"No, no that's fine. We'll have a good time." She answered as Aria turned to her locker. "I hope." The taller brunette muttered under her breath.
"Spence, you okay? You look really pale." Her favorite blonde asked as she looked at her with concerned eyes.
Spencer's face relaxed a little and her eyes shone happily as she took in the sight of her gorgeous girlfriend.
"Hey, when did you get here?"
"Like a minute ago, you were just staring into space. Sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, definitely. Just on edge a little today, you know."
"Don't be, it's going to fine. You'll have a good day today." Hanna answered as she squeezed Spencer's arm, ignoring the weird look she got from Aria.
Spencer was about to respond when the bell rang, signaling that class was going to start in 10 minutes.
"Well, I'm going to class. See you both later."
"That was really weird, right? It wasn't just me, was it? I don't know if I've ever seen her look so nervous."
"Yeah, it was strange. But it's Spencer, who knows what's going on."
"Very true. Alright, I'm heading to class. See you later, Han."
Babe,
Everything will be fine tonight, stop worrying. And even if it's not, we still have each other, okay?
I love you,
H
Spencer smiled brightly when she read that text from her girlfriend, and she was about to respond when her teacher started talking, signaling the beginning of class time.
Hours later, Hanna and Spencer were sprawled out on the Hastings's couch in the living room, waiting for the other girls to come.
"Hello?" They heard Emily's voice floating through the house from the front door.
"In the living room." Spencer shouted back. "Let's get this show on the road." She grumbled as Hanna quickly jumped up and pecked her on the lips.
"It'll be fine. I love you." She told Spencer, her blue eyes shining with sincerity.
Spencer was just about to say it back when Emily and Aria both walked back to see them.
"Hey, guys! I ordered the pizzas a while ago, they should be here in 15 minutes." Spencer stated, checking her watch to make sure that was correct.
"Sounds good. And I brought some movies to choose from!" Aria said excitedly, taking at least 7 movies out of her bag.
"Where's Maya, Em?" Hanna asked.
"She wasn't feeling well, so she stayed at home. She wanted me to tell everyone that she says hi, though." Emily answered, smiling brightly at the thought of her girlfriend.
"That's too bad. I hope she feels better soon!" Aria spoke genuinely, getting a big smile out of Emily.
"Me too."
Twenty minutes later, the 4 girls were sitting at Spencer's kitchen table, eating their pizza and chatting when all 4 of their phones went off.
"Are you kidding me?" Hanna all but shouted as she reached for her phone.
The 4 girls opened their text messages and Aria and Emily both looked perplexed when they saw the message from A.
Sorry, I just couldn't keep it in any longer. I think there's something that Spencer needs to tell you. Congratulate the happy couple for me!
-A
As they opened the attachment, they noticed that it was a picture of Spencer kissing a blonde girl in her car, but all Aria and Emily could see was the back of the girl's head.
Meanwhile, Hanna and Spencer were reading the message sent to their phones.
Oops, guess you didn't tell them fast enough, so I had to. Good luck getting out of this bear trap!
-A
Hanna and Spencer stared at each other in shock while Aria and Emily looked at each other, both deeply confused.
"What a bitch." Hanna growled as Spencer nodded her head.
"Well, this is obviously photo shopped somehow, right?" Aria asked as she looked back and forth between all of the girls, then finally settled on Spencer, waiting for an answer. "Right, Spence?"
I hope you all liked the chapter! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
