CHAPTER 9: Eagerly Awaiting
EMILY'S POV:
I woke up ready to start the day. Just knowing I would get to spend the afternoon with the person I loved was more than enough to excite me.
I had already spent time arranging the outfit I would wear, but I hesitated to put it on. Was it too flashy, would she like it?
My mind was racing when my mom walked into my room.
"Hey honey, you're up earlier than normal." She noticed. It was still already 9:30, but I normally slept later on Sundays.
"Yeah, just couldn't sleep any longer I guess." I muttered nervously.
My mom walked over and saw me looking at the outfit I had laying on the floor neatly. She laughed, and handed me the shirts she had washed the other night.
"Honey, you could wear anything and she'd be happy." She mentioned to me, and I blushed a little.
"Are you sure?" I asked, curious.
"Absolutely. Don't worry about it." My mom winked at me before walking downstairs to prepare breakfast. I sighed happily.
I was glad my mom was so accepting, and I was also relieved. She was right, Spencer didn't care what I wore, she loved me anyways. I still wanted to impress her, but I didn't need to.
I smiled to myself, and set the shirts I had on my bed to hang up later. I grabbed the outfit I had already picked out, and walked into my bathroom.
An hour later, I was ready to go. It was only almost 11, but I was more than excited. My mom had made omelets for breakfast, and gave me some chores to do to get my mind off of the excitement I had built up.
"It's like you've never had a date." My mom smirked after I skipped down the stairs with the towels I was supposed to bring downstairs.
"Mom come on, don't tell me you weren't the same at our age!" I laughed.
She chuckled. "I wish I could say we weren't, but I think everyone is that way at your age." She smiled.
By the time it was 1:00, I could barely sit still. I was more than ready to see Spencer again, as well as go shopping. It was two things I loved combined into one, who wouldn't be excited?
SPENCER'S POV:
I woke up at 12:30, ready to discuss ideas with Bethany. I immediately walked back over to my computer, eager to proceed, as soon as I was fully awake.
Don't you think you should get something to eat first?
"I'm okay, but thank you Bethany." I muttered, scrolling through the stuff we had worked on the previous night.
If you insist.
"Say Bethany, do you remember when visiting hours at Radley are?" I wondered.
I'm not certain. When I was there they were from 8:30 to 4:00, but they might have changed since then.
"I doubt that, that place rarely alters things like that. Something about messing with patients schedules."
That makes sense. What do you have in mind though…
"I was thinking about getting in later, but I would rather do it during visiting hours so I have an excuse if someone asks me what I'm doing. People probably get lost there all the time." I explained.
I guess that's something. But how are you going to get to the files? It's almost impossible to get around the nurses.
"I won't have to." I grinned. "I know a back door, and I have a friend that could help me get in without security knowing." I mentioned.
You have a good plan, but it still seems really risky. Are you sure we should-
"Yes, it will be fine. Don't worry."
We continued to talk about the plan, and I even called Caleb to get his input. He didn't mind helping me hack into the security system, escpecially since it was to stop A.
A chunk of time went by when my phone rang.
"Maybe it's Caleb…" I wondered aloud, before answering the call. I didn't bother to see who was calling me.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Spencer! I just wanted to call and let you know I'll be at your house in about twenty minutes to come get you."
I felt my breathing stop, and I gulped.
"Oh."
