I am so excited! Tomorrow's my birthday! Unfortunately, I won't be updating tomorrow because I'll be too busy eating loads of chocolate cake! What kind of cakes do you like for your birthday? Review! x Anyway, here's the next chapter for you as I am on a high! :)
Spencer woke up the next morning, feeling something heavy on his bare chest. It was a very bare JJ. Eyes wide, he looked at the door conjoining their two rooms. Turning to the side, he checked the time. 3 AM.
JJ moved contently in her sleep as she let out a gentle snore. "JJ?" Spencer whispered. "Jennifer?" he asked more firmly. JJ sturred and opened her eyes slowly before taking in her surroundings. She yawned and stretch, stopping when she felt restricted.
"Hmm?" she asked confused. She leaned up and turned to the side, meeting Spencer's shy gaze. "Oh."
"I'll check on Henry." Spencer mumbled, his eyes not reaching hers as he searched around for his clothes. JJ helped by turning on the lamp and he found his trousers and quickly exited the room, shutting the door firmly behind him.
JJ placed her hands on her face as she groaned out loud. "Did we really just...?" she breathed out, brushing her hair out of her face.
She thanked God that this was her room as she searched for her underwear and pajamas, placing her used clothes into her large suitcase.
When she was done, she entered the bathroom giving Spencer enough time to finish looking for the rest of his clothes and re-enter his room.
When she exited the bathroom, she knocked on Spencer's door. She received a quiet 'come in' as she entered, spotting Spencer carrying Henry over his shoulder. "I'll, uh, put him in bed." he said, walking the short distance into their room and placing him on his bed.
"Spencer..." JJ started, as she crossed her arms. He simply just continued to walk into his room and shut the door. But JJ wasn't having any of it. She opened the door and closed it, locking it behind her. "You need to take your medicine." she said instead of her initial idea. She dug into her bag for the pills and Spencer went to retrieve a water bottle from the mini fridge.
After he had taken his medicine he placed the empty bottle into the bin and sat on his bed.
"I know that what happened between us made you awkward and I apologise sincerely. I shouldn't have gotten so drunk. I should have listened to you." JJ said, sitting beside him and bringing her feet up onto the bed.
"It's okay." Spencer said simply, looking forward.
"Spencer, please look at me. It feels awkward..." JJ begged. Spencer sighed and closed his eyes briefly before turning to face her.
"JJ, it..."
"Was your first time? And I ruined it?"
"No... It's not that... It's-" he stopped himself before he could remember it all. JJ watched his pained expression and sighed, knowing what it was.
"Maeve. Oh, Spence, I'm so sorry." JJ said, leaning her head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry that I ruined everything for you."
"No... You didn't." Spencer said, smiling softly. "I'm sorry I've been a burden to you this past month."
"Spence, having a tumour is not a burden. I love having you around. Henry does too. You're helping us as much as we are helping you."
Spencer chuckled lightly. "I guess being around you guys, keeps me the slightest bit sane. Even your mother." They both laughed at that. "At least I can cross that off my bucket list."
JJ smiled lightly. "You made a bucket list? You are going to survive this, you know that?"
"I know. I just wanted to know how it felt to have a list of things to possibly do before 'dying'."
"What else is there? I know that sex wasn't number one on that list. What was number one?" JJ asked.
"Oh, you know. The usual. Bungee jumping." Spencer shrugged. In the back of his mind, it was actually to Fall In Love and he thought that he had it crossed off as well as he felt the warmth of the blonde beside him.
"Bungee jumping? You?" JJ chuckled. "Can I try something?" she asked.
"Sure, what is it?" Spencer asked just as JJ softly placed her lips onto his. Spencer felt all the emotions of adoration and anxiety mix into his stomach as he didn't respond, his eyes wide. He had done this before but what was different? Was it the fact that she was a bit sober and aware of her actions or was it because he had never found JJ to be this forward. Ever since their holiday started, they both had been leaping into decisions, constantly changing their friendship status. Spencer probably thought that this stage was the Friends With Benefits stage and he felt that maybe, just maybe, he liked it.
There you go! Again, apologies for not updating tomorrow, it's my birthday and I need a day off from the wonderful Internet. Just another note, I will be busy all month as I have important exams. I'll be updating randomly from now till the end of January! x
Bex, ya homie xx
