Got lost on my way home… - Chapter 10
Even though they both had driven to the coffee shop, Spencer and Aria had decided to walk over to the park. It was only a few blocks away and they could keep talking.
"I know what you're doing." Aria said.
"What am I doing?" Spencer asked.
"You're stalling. Why can't you just tell me?" Aria replied.
"Because…" Spencer stopped walking and ran her fingers through her hair. Aria always knew what she was doing. Sometimes before Spencer knew.
"Because what?" Aria asked.
Maybe she didn't have to lie to her. Maybe she could just delay it. If she could get Aria to back off, it would give her enough time to figure how to tell her everything. She just had to be convincing.
"Because I just want to spend some time with you. I know I said that we need to talk and now all I really want to just be with you." Spencer said.
"Spence, that doesn't fix anything." Aria said.
"I know that." Spencer said.
"So after saying we should talk about everything, now you just want to move on?" Aria asked.
"I know you want to deal with this right now and I get it. But I am just saying this conversation is going to suck. And I don't want to go there. Not now. I just want to be with you. Making up for lost time." Spencer said.
"Basically you want to skip the hard stuff and go straight to the fun?" Aria asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Technically you have been having all the fun. I am still waiting for my turn…" Spencer said with a smile.
"Good point." Aria blushed.
Spencer took a few steps towards the shorter girl and gently brushed her forearm with her fingertips. She smiled at her.
"I am not saying we shouldn't talk about everything. We should. I am just saying can we wait? Can we wait until…" Spencer started to say and then Aria took her hand.
"Okay." Aria said.
"Okay?" Spencer asked.
"Yeah. We can just wait for now. I think I can handle it. But if we are going to do this, I need one thing from you." Aria said.
"Whatever you need." Spencer said.
"I just want to be me and you. No Hanna, no Emily. I can't handle the group thing right now." Aria said.
"If that's what you need, I can handle that." Spencer smiled. She felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of her shoulders. She got the time she needed. And now that Aria said she wanted space from the other girls. So she didn't have to worry about Hanna or Emily bringing up anything up that would make Aria curious.
"You sure?" Aria asked.
"Of course. Now shall we go to the park?" Spencer held out her arm and Aria hooked her arm around it.
"We shall." Aria smiled.
"Come on in." Aria said as she opened the front door to her house. She stepped to the side and let Spencer go in first.
"Thank you." Spencer walked into the living room and sat down on the couch.
"Doesn't look like anybody's home." Aria shut the door and joined Spencer.
Spencer just raised an eyebrow at her and laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Aria asked,
"Oh come on. You bring me back to your house at 1:30 in the afternoon and you think I am going to believe you thought somebody was home?" Spencer smirked.
"It was worth a shot." Aria laughed.
"Well, you don't need to pull tricks on me. If you want something from me, you just have to ask." Spencer said without breaking eye contact.
Aria had forgotten how intense Spencer's stare could be. She could make you feel like the most important person in world with just a look from those beautiful brown eyes. And those same eyes could scare the shit of someone as well. And the way Spencer was looking at her felt like a little bit of both.
"Really now?" Aria asked.
"Yes." Spencer kept looking at her. Everything felt so right. She was back where she wanted to be. Aria scooted closer to her and Spencer could feel her heart flutter. Then she saw a flash of something in Aria's eyes. It just pulled her in.
Damn, her eyes are just so…damn. Spencer thought.
It was magic. It had to be. Just being next to Aria made every inch of her body feel like it was tingling. She reached out for Aria's hand, making sure that their fingers were interlocked.
"What if I wanted a kiss?" Aria looked down at her and Spencer's hands and then back into Spencer's eyes again.
"You never have to ask for that." Spencer leaned in until her lips gently brushed against Aria. She let the kiss linger. She didn't deepen it at first. She gently captured Aria's bottom lip and gave it a gentle suck. Her lips always tasted sweet.
Aria could feel that kiss all the way in her soul. It wasn't one of those kisses that you would give when you are trying to get something started. This kiss was the kind you give someone when they have your heart. Whatever wall she had felt was definitely gone now.
She was back in Spencer's web again.
"God…Spence…" Aria said as Spencer finally broke the kiss.
"I love the way you say that." Spencer rested her head against Aria's forehead.
"I love the way you do everything." Aria said.
"Good. Now can we go upstairs?" Spencer whispered.
"Yes…" Aria whispered back.
And she was sure that she wasn't going to leave it again.
